- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 1 week ago:
Republicans lie. As any fascist party, they don’t have any consistent ideology beyond hurting people. They’ll invent whatever reasoning and justification they need to justify their bullying, and they’ll immediately abandon that reason for another convenient excuse when necessary.
Republicans lie. They knew damn well what Project 2025 was, and they were in favor of all of it. When they said Trump had nothing to do with it, they were lying. Republicans ultimately don’t care what happens to society, or even themselves personally. They would gladly vote to lower the quality of their own lives, as long as the undesirables were hurt in equal measure.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 1 week ago:
What makes you think the cafe still has bins inside? The OP here is claiming the bins were removed from the cafe/picnic area.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 1 week ago:
How do you know that? You’re not OP.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 1 week ago:
Read the fucking post for fucks sake. It’s right fucking there.
The sign says the bins were removed. The post headline says the bins were removed from the cafe area. This is a cafe at a visitor center at a forest.
Before you go insulting the reading comprehension of others, try working on your own.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 1 week ago:
I think that’s the problem. I interpret it as the cafe removed their bins.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 1 week ago:
The problem isn’t that a park removed their trash cans. The problem is that a cafe removed their trash cans.
- Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area 1 week ago:
If you operate a business that sells things in paper plates and wrappers, you certainly have a moral responsibility to have waste receptacles to collect those waste products.
The problem isn’t that a park lacks trash cans. The problem is that a cafe removed their trash bins.

There are fossilized humans. Fossilization really doesn’t take that much time, geologically speaking; it just requires very specific conditions.
- Comment on i’m scared of my boyfriend because he’s dry and doesn’t want to initiate a relationship, should i break up because of the latter part? 1 week ago:
Sounds like he’s just using you as his fucktoy.
Dump this bum. Have some more respect for yourself. You deserve love and respect. If someone is going to be in a poly relationship, everyone in that relationship needs to be OK with it. It sounds like his boyfriend isn’t. If his boyfriend being upset is a reason not to be with you, then you aren’t really in a poly relationship. He’s in a relationship with his boyfriend, and he’s just occasionally cheating on his boyfriend with you. A poly relationship requires that all members be fine with the other members getting together. That is the difference between being poly and being a cheating bastard.
Dump this bum.

So this person doesn’t want to call or hang out with you, never initiates anything, doesn’t make you feel loved, and just sends soulless loveless texts like they are sending a work email?
Sorry to be blunt, but what makes you think this person is your boyfriend?
- Comment on You have to pick one 2 weeks ago:
I choose to imagine they both have equal kinetic energy.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You know how Trump accused Biden of censoring social media? Well he’s actually doing it. And he’s doing it at scale. The social media platforms are being forced to bend the knee. And that includes mass banning based on partisan lines. Anything left of centrist dem risks being purged from corporate social media.
- Comment on I left negative feedback on ebay for dropshipping and the seller has messaged me four days in a row asking me to change it 2 weeks ago:
A deliberately deceptive business practice that does nothing to help consumers and only raises prices? If you have to have it explained to you why that is bad, well I’m sorry, but you are beyond saving.

- Comment on Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies? 2 weeks ago:
See Plato’s five regimes.
- Comment on Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies? 2 weeks ago:
Definitely. Autocracies always end up being poorly run. Any system that concentrates all authority in a single ruler is going to have some pretty bad outcomes. Even if the dictator really was the smartest guy in the country, instead of merely the most ruthless, even geniuses make bad decisions from time to time. Autocrats quickly find themselves surrounded by yes men. This is how you end up with boneheaded ideas like Mao’s backyard steel production or Stalin embracing Lysenkoism.
- Comment on Is someone falling for this crap? 2 weeks ago:
When the cost to try something is virtually zero, you don’t have to try very hard. If only one in ten thousand people will fall for a scam, then millions of attempts will still get you thousands of successes.
- Comment on Having a baby? Use this one weird trick! 2 weeks ago:
Most European countries actually do in a limited fashion. Countries that have signed the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness grant automatic citizenship at birth to people that would otherwise be born stateless.
More countries should adopt birthright citizenship. It has a lot of utility to it. It prevents the formation of a multigenerational undocumented underclass and greatly assists in the assimilation of immigrants into the broader culture. It’s simply a fact of life that some immigrants will enter a country illegally. And while it is bad enough that they may live the rest of their lives in hiding, it’s even worse when people are born into that condition. You can end up with generation after generation, people with little to no ties to their “homeland,” living as a permanent underclass because they lack citizenship.
It’s also a protection against some forms of tyranny and oppression. A favorite tool of tyrants is to strip citizenship from their victims. They’ll sometimes go back generations and declare decades-old immigration cases as fraudulent or invalid. Look at the Rohingya genocide, where the Myanmar government declared an entire minority group to be illegal immigrants. Having a hard rule that says, “if you were born here, you have citizenship,” prevents these tactics from being used on anyone except actual immigrants. Tyrants can still target immigrants, but their children are protected.

They have deathright citizenship. You automatically become a citizen if you die in their territory.
- Comment on Having a baby? Use this one weird trick! 2 weeks ago:
That is technically true, while missing a key fact. Birthright citizenship is the norm for countries in the Western Hemisphere. The vast majority of countries in the Americas have birthright citizenship. The USA is not some rare outlier here.
