Hol up, I thought we were talking about moving to a whole ass new continent for some really good foreign dick, not because of hitting a glass ceiling lmao

So you recognize that the situation you described is an exceptional case, and not one to recommend making radical life changes over?

Imagine making a radical life change based on a week-long vacation

- Comment on Sea Level 3 weeks ago:
The moon, due to it’s unusual size and proximity for a moon, has a much greater effect on the tides than the sun. That’s why the tides are more closely linked to the moon’s orbit around the earth, not the Earth’s around the sun.
- Comment on Sea Level 3 weeks ago:
Earth’s orbital distance has pretty much always been “perfect” though. It hasn’t really changed much since it’s formation 4-5 billion years ago.
Unless you mistyped and you’re talking about the moon’s orbital distance? In which case, it’s actually kind of the opposite of what you’re claiming. It’s estimated that life first popped up pretty close to when the planet and moon finished forming, at which point the moon’s orbital distance would have made it appear larger than the sun and probably fully obscure the sun + it’s corona during an eclipse.

We’re talking about two different things then. I’m talking about how things should be.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 4 weeks ago:
So your argument is that if everyone has access to basic necessities, society would collapse? What in the slipperiest of slopes are you talking about?
If your “society” is dependent on people voluntarily going into wage slavery, maybe it should collapse.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 4 weeks ago:
Yes, why the fuck not? Social safety nets and access to basic human necessities like food, shelter, and healthcare should not be gated by some arbitrary number of “working hours”.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know how leisurely that leisure time is gonna be, considering he’s only got a hundred bucks to play with, coupled with the stress and anxiety of being one car repair or injury away from financial ruin.
You’re absolutely right that the social safety net needs improvements, but that net should be there for everyone, not just those that work some arbitrary number of hours.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 4 weeks ago:
Big “just pull yourself up by your bootstraps” energy with this comment.
It’s insane that you think people have to hit a minimum bar of “productivity” to justify living above a barely-scraping-by level, and that you set that bar at over half a person’s waking hours.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 4 weeks ago:
Mkay but why shouldn’t someone be able to live a dignified life working 25 hours a week? Why does it have to be 40?

It’s sad that the whole “meathead = dumb asshole” stereotype has taken hold, because in my experience, most of the meatheads I’ve encountered have been sweethearts

- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 month ago:
Nah you’re missing the point. The problem is that men assault women disproportionately. That’s what needs to be called out as sexism, that’s what needs addressed, that’s what needs to change.
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 month ago:
No, not never, but a monetary barrier probably does filter out some bad actors. Not all of course, and it probably filters out some good actors too unfortunately. But with the amount of assaults women are faced with, I understand why they feel the need to be somewhat choosy.
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 1 month ago:
Do you think it’s purely just sexism, or do you think it maybe has something to do with the strategy women must employ to protect themselves from being assaulted by strangers?
- Comment on Libraries are cool 1 month ago:
If you’re doing something like gathering research materials, a lot of times people will grab a bunch of stuff of the shelves at once then take it all back to a table somewhere to peruse. In that scenario it’s definitely likely you’ll forget where something went, or mix things up.

This is just indicative of how dug in you are. You won’t even consider the possibility of being wrong as long as there are “experts” agreeing with your misguided view.
- Comment on OnLy tWo eLemEnTs 1 month ago:
No, I still don’t agree with the same incorrect bullshit you’ve been saying for the past 36 hours now

Are you serious? Like, you can’t be serious at this point. I sent that article to you, like 4 comments ago. We’ve already discussed it, in this very thread. 🥱
- Comment on OnLy tWo eLemEnTs 1 month ago:
It doesn’t matter what arguments I give you, you’re dug in. That’s what’s boring - every new angle anyone tries with you just gets the same old tired “my science is correct and infallible, yours is wrong” response. “Arguments” like that are boring. 🤷
- Comment on OnLy tWo eLemEnTs 1 month ago:
I think Richard Dawkins is a transphobe because he frequently makes public anti-trans statements and conflates gender and sex in a way that is weaponized against trans people.
If you think acknowledging scientific truth is transphobic, that’s entirely on you.
Jesus dude this is just boring now. Claiming your outdated view is “scientific truth” hasn’t worked all day, maybe find a new slant.
- Comment on OnLy tWo eLemEnTs 1 month ago:
and then points out that it’s scientifically inaccurate
by quoting noted transphobe, Richard Dawkins lmao.
Why are you so focused on spreading transphobic rhetoric?
- Comment on OnLy tWo eLemEnTs 1 month ago:
sorry but you are disagreeing with the scientific and academic consensus.
Hmmm, an interesting assertion, one that would be all the more interesting were it not for the open letter sent to the president, signed by ~3500 scientists, saying sex isn’t binary. Weird.
You wanna know what else is weird? This whole “gametes determine sex” thing is something Donald Trump says, and used as the “scientific basis” for one of his incredibly transphobic executive orders. An order that basically makes it illegal to be trans. The order that that letter I linked, the one signed by 3500 scientists, was a direct response to.
You’re refusing to acknowledge the scientific consensus, and that’s really disappointing.
No, what’s disappointing is that you’ve spent the better part of your day parroting and defending right-wing pseudoscience, then have the gall to tell others that they’re refusing to acknowledge scientific consensus.
The idea you’re so vehemently “just being the messenger” for originated over a hundred years ago dude. The science has changed since then. We’ve learned more. It’s time for you to catch up.
