It seems to say you would be unclean to touch a dead animal. That means you need to take a bath and wait until evening to be clean again.
I think this is before the invention of soap, so being ritually unclean meant that other people aren’t allowed to touch you for a certain number of days (and then you need to offer a sacrifice in the temple or something), or in some cases like touching a leper, the priest has to examine you at the end of the unclean period to declare you clean.

Bad logic is bad logic, whether applied to dogs, humans, apples or whatever.
Racism is racism, whether it’s direct and obvious or just casually equating ethnic minorities to the most feared “dangerous” dogs whilst claiming that you’re “just explaining logical errors”.
No, you don’t get to pretend you didn’t make an awful and offensive analogy (based on your irrational belief that the pitbulls are falsely maligned).
If the logic is as flawed as you claim, there must be hundreds of analogies you can draw that aren’t racist and don’t equate black people in the USA with pitbulls.

Dude, you’ve spent a long time arguing from a point of view that fear of pitbulls is equivalent to racism.
Doing this is trivialising racism and painting a breed bred for agression and fighting as innocent victims of oppression.
It’s bogus and offensive and trivialises racism. Stop it.

The bleachiness is in the nose, and it’s flourine, which smells very like, but distinct to chlorine, which is in most bleaches.
You detect saltiness with your tongue, not your nose.
- Comment on How come cops who are trained in guns shoot to kill all the time? Even people who have no gun. Why not go in with your hand on the taser, and ready just in case to shoot someone in the leg? 1 week ago:
You are erroneously assuming that most US cops went into the police force to uphold the law and keep citizens safe, rather than to be allowed to boss black guys around and shoot them without repercussions.

No, no, it’s just false.

The Onion has got me so regularly because Republicans are so willing to do crazy shit that’s obviously a Very Bad Idea Indeed and completely bonkers, just to “own the libs” that the Onion can write batshit crazy nonsense and not sound any different from trump.

I think there’s a clear correlation there, but the axes are reversed: testosterone can’t be the dependent variable of IQ score. Reversing the axes makes the gradient look incredibly steep, but that’s only because of the obviously incorrect anomaly. r=0.435 is very much not a strong correlation, but it’s not zero either, especially with a sample size this enormous.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
If you remove the anomaly, which may be due to an accidental additional digit, that correlation coefficient may climb a bit.

No true Scotsman allows public infrastructure to decay, corporations to trample people’s lives, capitalism to run unchecked, “states rights” to overturn Roe v Wade.
Airway, back to the original point: conservatives are stupid because they think that seeing gay men kissing turns children and teenagers gay.
- Comment on Using conservative logic 2 weeks ago:
Just be careful to never see or hear about any trans women having lesbian sex, because it could turn you trans and nothing makes conservatives crosser.

Libertarianism is really really really stupid because in the real world no one pays for high quality roads, light rail network etc, safety nets for folks too ill to work or recently sacked through “reorganisation” etc etc etc unless they’re forced to. Privatised healthcare sucks for most people except the very wealthy, same for education. Libertarianism puts no governmental checks whatsoever on the power of corporations, it’s basically the rule of the jungle where the wealthy get freedom and the poor get slavery back. What stops corporations poisoning you for profits? I’ll give you a clue, it’s not competition. If you don’t regulate, people die. Just because American governments are crap, doesn’t mean governments are unnecessary. Individual liberty is a great concept, yes, but if nobody forces children to share and be considerate, they never learn it. For example, Elon Musk, Donald Trump.
- Comment on Using conservative logic 2 weeks ago:
If you were capable of logic you wouldn’t be trying to argue you were right when it was pointed out to you that in this context, on this issue, you are wrong.
Also, libertarianism is really really really stupid, so there’s that.
- Comment on Using conservative logic 2 weeks ago:
Apologies for not researching your whole post history, but I don’t see how that’s relevant anyway. If its no big deal, why the fuck are you spending so much time and effort defending it, arguing with people who pointed out your error?

You carefully avoided any mention of your actual politics, whilst telling me off for not knowing yours. I don’t know how you think in supposed to know.
I don’t hate liberals you clown
You have a funny way of showing it, and I’m no clown, thank you very much, I’m just pissed off that so many people BoTh SidEs stuff where there are real differences.
But if you don’t hate liberals, there’s even less need to dive in with your false equivalence between the two American parties over homosexuality, one of the few issues where they do differ substantially. If you have a brain, use it.
- Comment on Using conservative logic 2 weeks ago:
This is a post about conservative hysteria over homosexuality. Not everything has to be about how liberals betray communists, and right now and in the past there aren’t many communist regimes who give homosexual people freedom to love whoever they like, so this is one policy area where the liberals you hate so much got something right better than the authoritarians. So yeah, you can fuck off with your both sides crap on this issue.

Gives me the ick. Serious Trump vibes.
The whole “daddy, please tell the bodyguards to bonk me, they’re refusing because they think you’ll sack them!” thing and the “daddy please can I bonk one of your middle aged chums?” stuff is all more than weird to me.
She comes across as happy and knowing exactly what she wants, so that’s a positive, but I think her dad has a very weak ‘no’ game and has had for years and years. Not everything that we want at 18 is good for us. Only a handful of months ago she was a literal child.

I frown on a 50 year old man dating an 18 year old girl. The girl is too young to realise how fucked up that is, but the 50 year old guy should absolutely know he should be keeping his hands of someone who was literally a child earlier this year.
