  • Dang. Thanks for being honest, but I vehemently disagree with you.

    People should be allowed to call others what they want. It's up to us to be mature enough to handle people calling us things we don't like.

    You should know that advocating for legal repercussions here drives people away from the cause.

    Edit: It's sad how many of you want to control others' speech like this, but I guess it just goes to show that we're not really on the same side.

    If a politician is running a platform of pushing legal penalties for calling people things they don't like, I will make sure to vote against them.

  • If Ukraine was winning, would you be saying "why does it matter?"

    I don't want Ukraine to lose. It would be a devastating blow against the West and the free world at large.

    That said, you are straight up huffing copium at this point. It's sad how people who should be on the side of logic and reason immediately abandon both when the going gets rough.

    It's another reason why I'm proudly independent. This loyalty among crowds is for children and adults who never grew up.

  • Well, their counteroffensive failed. Did you think it would succeed?

    The juries still out on whether or not they can win, but support for the war among Ukrainians themselves is dwindling.

    Ukraine also said that the war will not be won until Crimea is reclaimed. I personally don't take them seriously on that, but you're free to interpret their words however you want.

  • Cognitive dissonance is a powerful force. The fact none of you are able to give a ‘yes or no’ answer instead of mental gymnastics and personal attacks is a fine example of how it manifests.

  • Ok.

    Sorry you couldn't elaborate.

  • You tell me.

    And also specify why it's relevant.

  • How and by who?

  • What lesson should I be taking from history?

    you twit.

    No need for personal insults.

  • Nope.

  • I'm gonna be real with you: none of the instruments are easy in the way that you describe.

    The easiest instrument for you to be able to play would honestly be the piano. it is the easiest instrument to play by design, and people don't even realize it. It really only gets hard when you try playing separate parts with both hands, which isn't a requirement.

    You're literally hitting buttons, which we do elsewhere in life all the time. Heck, I'm doing it right now!

  • They could change their culture to stop being so boring.

  • If alcohol and gambling only affected the lives of those partaking in them, then we wouldn't have a problem.

  • How did prohibition go badly in the case of alcohol?

    Are you talking about how there was resistance to it at all?

  • Fun fact: The Native Americans had no concept of land ownership. It's how "Squatter's Rights" was used to justify European occupation of native lands.

    To the natives, land was meant to be used, not owned. For Europeans, they would look at a section of land and say "Who owns this? Nobody? Well, I guess it's mine now."

    Being raised in a world dominated by European ideals, it's easy to disregard how those ideals may have been challenged and if we really received the best outcome.

  • Is calling a MTF transperson a man considered 'transphobia' in your mind?

    Do you honestly believe people should be imprisoned for it?

  • Kind of pathetic how we still have to solve the issue of cutting up baby dicks as ritual.

    Egypt's worse; they still cut off the clits of preteen girls as ritual.

    Jews and Egyptians aren't even trying to hide it. They do it specifically to reduce the sensitivity of sexual organs.

    Christians are the useful idiots (as always) who have been duped into thinking it's for 'medical' or 'aesthetic' purposes. In all honesty, Christians cut up the dicks of their kids because the dad's dick was cut up for him and he doesn't want to admit there's something wrong with it.

  • Different drugs, which is why considerably more people smoked marijuana while it was illegal than did cocaine.

    And also, at what cost? Look at how many lives are ruined because of the war on drugs. Look at how many resources are wasted enforcing it.

    Tobacco usage is already a fraction of what it was decades ago.

    And everything he's saying about tobacco can be applied to, you guessed it, alcohol! So we should make booze illegal again? Because that worked out so well the first time?

    (to play devil's advocate, I also think that alcohol has a much greater case for being outlawed than tobacco for the collective harm it does to society)

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Are there any examples of a religion giving scientific knowledge that could not have been known to people at the time?

    Is there a process by which courts check access logs of a server to verify the data hasn't been tampered with?
