That period of “respect” needs to be incredibly short. As in, I’m sick of these highly political situations losing all their momentum as if that respects any of the victims, including, in some cases, the shooter.

This is a mental health crisis, likely a poverty issue, and a bunch of other things that we need to take apart now because we certainly don’t do it when things are calm.

Yup. They’re commit 90+% of the violence but this happens and we’re going to be hearing about it for a decade at least.

Yup. Honestly, I don’t like most people. I’m known as very friendly and I have close friendships, people trust me, and I do have sizeable groups of people I like but 95% of the population I do not and will likely never want to be anywhere remotely near if at all possible…

…AND YET I still want everyone to be better. I still live in a city and I still willingly take and support public transit despite owning a car. Today, I gave a homeless guy a protein shake for him and treats for his dog. I gave someone I detest my gloves during a fire alarm which put us all put in the cold because they couldn’t get to their jacket before leaving. I do NOT understand how their can be people so full of hate that they not only have literally violent reactions to other people existing but that they will hurt themselves in order keep others from even a small amount of peace. It’s honestly a huge stress point because how the fuck are things supposed to progress if that’s how so many people are?

And with the power of the internet we’ve made it so that it’s all even more obvious(because apparently people ruling through divine right and then brutalizing their populations wasn’t obvious enough) and yet we still can’t get it.

Luckily, with our huge, recent jump in technology, we have the chance to see a change previously not possible. I’m crossing every finger and toe.

Yea, we got the Conservatives without having to feel bad about getting them, they still have support from nearly half the voting base, and we severely weakened the NDP in the process. Worst part was that it was all incredibly obvious and we just let it happen like a bunch of idiots.

How mant times we gunna do the same thing until we learn our lesson?

You don’t have to think it, we have plenty of evidence. The best way to fight crime is to fight poverty but that requires actually caring for others.

This is fighting? Not holding an event? The bare minimum here is to host it and still invite everyone because that’s the entire point. Throwing the plan in the garbage and walking away isn’t fighting, especially when he’s getting his way pretty much everywhere and can just have his little Republican governors’ meeting whenever he wants otherwise.

Ya’ll need to redefine “fighting” because that’s the weakest shit I’ve ever seen.

Banned? We let them setup four offices in four embassies in four cities. We’re actively supporting them.

Of course it’s Gibson. Dogshit company with over-priced instruments pissed that better alternatives exist so they desperately try to ride on nostalgia and bullshit.

I tried but got a lot of hits on positive sounding stuff. I believe you, I just don’t see what you’re seeing.

That man is so far beyond Jesus, they need to be launched into the sun and anyone closely related to them needs to be scoured from the earth.

Also people who chase the word “moderate” because they desperately cling to the idea that being nonchalant in politics is a good thing are so focused on it that they will be a conservative just to avoid the leftmost party even if the left-most party is actually centrist.

Close to what you said, just exposes even more of how dumb it is.

It’s for online communities, group chats, and audio/video calls with streaming built-in. It’s really very good and incredibly easy to learn how to use, but recently it’s been pulling some increasingly concerning shit. Started simple and clean, then started adding shit for who knows why.

In this case it’s to please the anti-porn companies and places like the UK.

“If the incredibly common argument that is used all the time and we did not make up(it’s not a strawman) were true then we would expect to see data which reflects that. We do not see data whoch reflects that.”

Strawman arguments need to be made up by the person attacking them. Here they are are simply talking about an existing argument and showing how it’s wrong.

Could have something to do with the huge amounts of people living in those places. And a Liberal’s policies are not the pinnacle of democratic fairness, either.

Except that they’re not putting anywhere near the amount of effort I’d hope they would need to influence people. Look at how awful Trump is, how openly disgusting he is, and yet them just saying “no that’s fake actually” is enough.

People like these awful things and they want to be “influenced” so they can pretend, amongst themselves mostly, that they were fooled.

Yea, the only thing that would ever let me buy a home is my insane privilege. If even I am pissed, living a very advantaged life, I have no clue why the whole planet hasn’t been burned to the fucking ground yet.

You really aren’t. Your children will suffer in the future all for your short-sighted greed. Other people’s families will suffer, too. You won’t care, it seems, because you appear to be broken, like you’re missing some core piece of being a human being.

Thanks, Captain Burden.

Votes are the people, and we keep letting this happen to us. It’s insane, really, knowing that even as fucked as our system is there’s still really no reason any significantly intelligent nation should be dealing with any of the crap we support.

Your first quote conveniently leaves out the last sentence which says “historical data shows otherwise.”

Now, a strawman argument is where you create a fake thing to attack. I’m explaining this to you because there are so many people who genuinely believe that demand is growing higher than supply is.

You seem to be on the side which knows that supply is not the problem, rather it’s greed. The article agrees with you at every turn, but you fight it? Did you actually read it?
