Looking through your interactions regarding this seems like there has been some stuff mistaken as sarcasm when it wasn’t, they were agreeing with you but the context was lost and so you took offense. It happens. No biggie.

But the rest of this seems like you’re trying really hard to be philosophical and… Well … it’s not working.

No outside observer is required to prove you wrong when you’re arguing facts. And within their conversation…? They were arguing about proven facts. These aren’t opinions they were arguing (eg political or religious beliefs).

My opinion? A simple Google search to confirm his own knowledge (or lack thereof) would have solved this. He gave himself no room to be wrong. He clearly needs to be humbled and recognize that he might just be wrong about something. That is the red flag he needs to work on.

Your red flag? Your inability to recognize what is ACTUALLY being discussed here and showing your own arrogance about it all disguised as being philosophically and morally superior. There’s no empathy required here until he has the ability to humble himself.

Try to go back through these comments but with a different mindset and a different tone of voice for your internal narrator and you might pick up what we’ve all been putting down for you.

Good luck.

There are containers that will transcode immediately upon import if that’s what you prefer.

While I agree with your sentiment, I disagree with the overreaching arc of it.

I’d also like to note that you’re taking about the person who actually committed the crime rather than someone who is only connected to the crime by the uniform they wear, regrdless of their hand in the action.

A cook or nurse or on the other side of the planet from the atrocity can hardly be blamed for what the infantryman did on the individual level, or what the military has done on an organizational level. Furthermore, you don’t even know if they oppose those actions or are fighting against it in their own way until you talk to them. That’s the point I’m trying to make that others

If you fail to see and acknowledge this, then we have nothing more to discuss.

That said, extremism should be fought, no matter who it’s coming from. I have plenty of right wing friends I’ve cut contact with due to their extremism. And if I had friends from the left that were as crazy as some of the people I’ve seen here, I’d do the same.

Extremism only leads to more extremism and more fighting and more death. I’d prefer to avoid that if possible.

So you’re going to disrespect and blame the individual that had nothing to do with it because of the actions of others?

I’m not saying that you should let the organization as a whole off the hook, but should we really be putting the individual in the cross hairs without knowing what their story is?

Are you going to put the medic that helped the injured innocent in front of the firing line because other people bombed the area?

The big issue I have with your statements, and those of the OP are that they are extremist. It’s possible to have a nuanced conversation about it without resorting to the extremes. No wonder the pot keeps calling the kettle black

Yea, but neither is blind DISrespect. There’s a lot of examples of bad and there’s a lot of examples of good. Kinda fucked up to lump an entire group into one side or the other… Don’t ya think?

Bet I get blasted for this take.

Well shit… Thanks for the heads up!

It’s a salad chopper, it seems. Put the lettuce in the bowl and use that thing to cut it up.

Nah, that’s the junk drawer. This one is all the random kitchen tools drawer. Ladles, can openers, spatulas, meat thermometers, wooden spoons, etc. this and the junk drawer are two different drawers

They haven’t gotten that part of their lie figured out yet. Give them some time, they’re only working on two collective brain cells, afterall.

I just re-read the comment chain and saw it was mentioned before. Oops lol

Might be unbreakable, but all the attacker has to do is put money on it once and then just duplicate the card. You don’t need to beat the encryption. You just need to make the machine think the card is legit

I’d rather deal with a poorly designed bottle cap than half the shit we have to deal with here in the US. There’s a reason you’re getting down voted. What you said is so narrow sighted that it’s not even funny.

We have MUCH larger issues we have to deal with than a stupid bottle cap. “Glad I don’t have to deal with that here” is showing a willingness to ignore everything else.

Is THAT your litmus for freedom?! In some states women can’t choose to have an abortion. And in all of the states people have to choose between going to the doctor or paying rent that month… But goddamnit, at least they don’t have to deal with those pesky tethered bottle caps!

IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH CANADIAN GOOSES THEN YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME! I SUGGEST YOU LET THAT ONE MARINATE!

Oh good Lord. Fuckin idiots.

Ootl… What’s going on with that particular power plant?

Keep the rubber side down, also.

In the helicopter world is “keep the spinny bits up”

You’re joking, right? You realize the group of people you’re talking about, yea? This bot 110% would be used to further their agenda. Real discussion isn’t their goal and it never has been.

How is a hot spring something that people NEED to use? You’re acting like it’s a necessity of life to go use it. It’s not. And the people using it are poor? That’s a pretty damn big generalization you’re making there to try and further your point.

They still should NOT be blocking people’s access to anything, but don’t turn this into something it’s not. The destination and their wealth aren’t what matters here. They’re pissed that there are more people around and trying to do something about it. This is a common theme with any tourism heavy area.
