You’re doing the same bullshit that a bunch of idiots did all over media for years, when you hear trump or his ilk talking shit out of their ass, you immediately go “but if there was a sane normal person there what could they say”, and report on that, and this makes it as if there was a normal person there talking. It’s a sanewashing and it is a problem.

Well, you aren’t dead yet, aren’t you. Means that wasn’t that deadly of a lava, so maybe try to jump instead of trying to convince everyone around that we’re already burned to crisps, so no point to even try. We aren’t, not yet, that’s demonstrable by the fact that we’re still talking about it.

Unless you’re dead, you can at least try. Beats folding your arms and complaining that this jumping strategy pails in comparison with your superiour strategy of wishing really hard you could fly.

Maybe, maybe, if what you’re saying was true, and the rigid binary was trully covering 99% with the predicting power you’re claiming, maybe that would be useful. But it’s not 99%, it’s not rigid, it’s not binary, and it’s not predictive, really.
People with specific chromosome combination have specifics that are useful to think about in some context. People who produce cells related to giving birth are different from those who don’t, which is also a category. People who have dangly bits are different from people who’s bits are sucked in. Hormone patterns do wild shit which can also be categorised.
Picking and slicing those categories to somehow still come up with two sexes doesn’t add shit to this. Clinging to it as if it’s somehow important is not useful, and frankly weird. - Comment on Wait bro, what if?????? 1 week ago:
We literally, definitionally made it all up. We had a “man” and “woman” before we knew anything about human bodies, we collectively invested in the idea of the human duality, and then every time we discovered anything that contradict that duality, we tried to cram more caveats into that just so we have this rigid categories, specifically two of them. Meanwhile the sole usefulness of the categories was that there are two of them and they are very well defined and have very specific characteristics, and can be used to predict something about a person.
The more we learn about human bodies, the less those categories make sense, to the point where having a sex as a category is as useful as having your eye colour as your defining characteristics. Even in this thread the sex was defined as “chromosomes and the gametes and stuffs”. Having it tied to the amount of Y chromosomes wasn’t useful even in the last century, let alone now.
No amount of deflection will save your old rigid shit you cling so much to in fear of needing to update your worldview. - Comment on Wait bro, what if?????? 1 week ago:
The concept of biological sex relies heavily on it being a strict binary. Without this strict binary, it requires so many caveats and clarification to actually work, it quickly becomes unuseful neither in medical, nor in societal sense.
- Comment on Wait bro, what if?????? 1 week ago:
Significant proportion of people don’t fit into binary sex definition, however much you cut and define it, people have all sorts of crazy combinations. And if your strict binary definition doesn’t include all the subjects, it’s not strict, not binary, and signifies not a lot.

I don’t think multi billion dollars is enough to fight this behemoth. Especially when it has basically all the support of the corrupt government. It’s a suicide and everyone knows it.

The average price of a used car in us is 30k+ according to a quick google. Which incidentally is the price of a nissan leaf, give or take. According to that statistics, your 5k bucket of rust is in the minority.
That statistical majority that buys a car for 30k+ should not be buying a gas one when ev exists. - Comment on Stay inside 3 weeks ago:
Oh, I know that, and my heart goes out to y’all. However, there is no requirement that it will have to be a gasoline car.

It’s weird that you don’t see your regular gasoline car that yall americans have as an expensive investment.
Also, no way a cheapest ebike is thousands of bucks. I bet you can get one for the price of a couple of months of gas. Or get an acoustic one even cheaper, it will be better for your health.
Also also no way a cheap skate is hundreds. - Comment on I will kill you 4 weeks ago:
Most of my friends were also smoking, most of the colleagues I regularly talked to I’ve met on smoking breaks, my dad gifted me our family heirloom cigarette case when I turned 18. You might underestimate how normal was smoking back then. Until we moved out of our small-ish village when I was around 7, I didn’t know or seen any non-smoking adult.
- Comment on I will kill you 4 weeks ago:
I think you’re overestimating the ability of adults to assert the consequences of their actions. I smoked into adulthood, and I honestly thought that “pros” of smoking outweigh the cons, and “I fucking enjoy the process” was one of the pros.
I couldn’t be more wrong, of course, but unfortunately, I didn’t stop because my intellect told me so, I was given the initial push by the circumstances making the habit less convenient. - Comment on I will kill you 4 weeks ago:
You can just vomit a wordsalad and say it was a joke, it’s not how joking works.
- Comment on I will kill you 4 weeks ago:
Nah, when I was smoking I was truly enjoying the process. It was bad, obviously, but I fucking loved it. It was also a period where smoking was cool, so not only it was pleasant, but I looked cool doing it. And because it worsens your sense of smell, even downsides weren’t perceived badly.
I’m so glad it’s finally over, but I’m glad about it now, not then. - Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market 4 weeks ago:
For those people consumerism is the hobby. They don’t get anything by buying new computer every 2 years, other than the act of buying itself. For wast majority of gamers the cycle is closer to 8-10 years. Personally, I’m playing on a laptop that I bought in 2020 and it runs everything I want it to run no problem, and I’m planning to change it only when it breaks irreparably.

- Comment on First Skywind progress video since 2024 5 weeks ago:
Nah, it’s not because new games are all bad as I assume you’re trying to imply. It’s a combination of nostalgia, and the fact that Bethesda really cooked a lighting in the bottle both with Morrowind and with Skyrim, and it’s worth playing around with both even still. Old stuff doesn’t become worthless when new stuff arrives.
- Comment on First Skywind progress video since 2024 5 weeks ago:
Skyrim is no ordinary engine, it’s the modding engine. You could start porting any modern game to it and it will still have some merit.

The internal politics of the party is not the only democratic process available to you. Pretending that it’s a big conspiracy that you need to be a member of a political organisation to effect said organisation is one of the most insane arguments against participating in democracy I’ve heard recently, so congrats on that.
Yeah, I would also want American insane political system to be not as insane. Maybe participate in it a bit more, and you can change it, huh? - Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 1 month ago:
…that’s how it’s supposed to work, yes. You chose your party affiliation first, then you chose how this party is shaped.
Do I also think it’s stupid? Absolutely. But that’s the system you have, and you don’t get another one by just ignoring it really hard. - Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 1 month ago:

People who helped to elect Trump, by action or inaction, are way more pro-genocide. In terms of people genocided, it’s a worse outcome. There was no ideal outcome on the table, the one where genocide just stops, but there was possibility for the deescalation. Not this possibility is gone and wouldn’t return for a long time, and the only people who are at fault there is American voters, who collectively saw the possibilities and chose the worst one.

You’re playing “hammer to the nuts” game instead, because that’s the only other game in town. And in case it needed to be said, it’s a worse game to play, there is no winners there.

You seem to hung up on the fact that presidential nominee that both DNC and the democratic party voters chose got health issues and the party chose his running mate and a person who got second place on primaries to be the next candidate, instead of starting the primaries 3 months before the election.
And that’s technically true, but what to you think they should’ve done instead? Or are you doing it from the perspective of a pure internet argument? Like, “see, sometimes the candidate you chose gets sick therefore the democracy doesn’t exist” type shit?
