You’ve got to be a bot. Seriously.

I’m assuming you’re the competent one.
Believe it or not it’s really hard to get people to compare another person to a Nazi you really have to jump some hurdles to do that.
For example Thomas Midgley, Jr. (Look him up) Is probably one of the worst human beings ever produced by our species and yet nobody really compares him to Nazis.
On the other hand there is nothing more universally compared to Nazis than our current sitting president his rhetoric and the people that support him including your boy Charlie.

I’m not here to hand you evidence or play research assistant. I’m responding because your own tone was condescending and I’m not going to let it stand unchallenged.
Charlie Kirk was a bigot and a racist. That is not an opinion but a matter of record. His rhetoric makes it obvious and your defense of him makes your position clear.
If you think I was calling you tolerant or care if you are tolerant or not you completely miss the point of what I was trying to say.
- Comment on Too soon? 5 days ago:
Your prose comes across as deliberately nice and tolerant, but that only highlights how shaky your stance is. You frame “tolerance” as though it excuses supporting Charlie Kirk. It doesn’t. Using tolerance to shield a bigot and a racist is not a virtue, it’s complicity.
Opposing Kirk’s rhetoric isn’t hatred. It’s simply refusing to let prejudice masquerade as principle.

Well. They’ve secured the local woods so we’re good.

Ya man. Mental health. Your boy Charlie was big in putting homeless people and transgenders in insane asylums.

Lol! Fantastic. This is wonderful thank you so much for commenting.
So the big argument is cars and alcohol? Brilliant. Because when was the last time someone walked into a classroom holding a Toyota Corolla in one hand and a bottle of vodka in the other?
Cars exist to get people from point A to point B. Alcohol exists to drink. Guns exist to kill. That is the design. Pretending they are all the same is a false equivalence.
We also happen to lead the world in school shootings and active shooters. Canada, which looks a whole lot like us culturally and legally, manages fewer gun deaths per capita. Maybe the problem is not cars or booze. Maybe the problem is metal health. Because guns are the end of the day are just tools used by humans.
- Comment on Not trying to disparage first responders on 911. Why aren't nurses included with fire and police departments? Did we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing? 6 days ago:
Of course you did. And nothing can away the heroic and amazing thing you did that day.
BUT! Being at ground zero and simply doing your job as a nurse during a crisis is not the same thing.

So no. That’s not it. A right is something that is guaranteed by law, such as freedom of speech or running water for your home.
A privilege is something provided by law that isn’t totally necessary. Like a driver’s license or a concealed carry permit for a firearm.
For the layman the two terms carry similar meanings but in law they are completely different things. The distinction is important.
also let’s not get it twisted Charlie Kirk was Luigied.

God. Are we back on this loop again?!! Incidentally what is the most selling game currently?
A game about a bug with a needle? Super violent.

- Comment on ISO 26300 1 week ago:
Actually now that you mention it I don’t think I downloaded an ODT documenting forever in a day I mean probably decades.
But you are right of course there is a security risk but fron what I understand it is being patched just not actively updated?
- Comment on ISO 26300 1 week ago:
Works great for any and all word processing and spreadsheet that I need.
I don’t do that much of it anyway so I don’t really need anything more than open office.
- Comment on ISO 26300 1 week ago:
Yes. I know, it’s more popular than open office but I’ve used open office for so long now I don’t want to switch.

OpenOffice baby!

- Comment on I may swear like a pirate, but I'm a fucking PRINCIPLED pirate 2 weeks ago:
I don’t teach them that it’s ok to use bad words. I teach them there is a time and place for everything.
Which just does back to my original point. Killing in the name of self defense isn’t ok but acceptable.
Ok and accepted are two different things. The fact that you haven’t caught on to that and the fact that the producer of that meme thinks he’s a good person for simply not being a racist bigot isn’t the hot take you think it is.

Are you hearing yourself.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
That is exactly what I’m suggesting. And so are the sources I provided.
But let me be clear. People who go slow on purpose in high speed areas are a danger for people trying to go faster. I’m not taking about people speeding recklessly. I’m talking people going 60 in a 70 or 20 in a 35. They cause other drivers to maneuver around them which could cause a situation.

Lol. Ya… Tracks.
- Comment on I may swear like a pirate, but I'm a fucking PRINCIPLED pirate 2 weeks ago:
It isn’t and you know it. I doubt very much they you go out of your way to swear in front of kids… Do you?
- Comment on I may swear like a pirate, but I'm a fucking PRINCIPLED pirate 2 weeks ago:
The best way to teach not only kids but pretty much anyone is through example. I don’t forbid my kids from swearing but I don’t swear in front of them.
I teach them there is a time and place for every word.
But saying “I swear in front of my kids but I’m not a racist” is just lazy. It’s basically saying “I’m just ok at what at I do because I’m kinda selfish”
