Bless your heart for being so kind to them. I think more people need to take your approach. That account has ‘mosque shooter’ written all over it IMO.

It’s your own fault for meatsplaining to them.

Skateboards with no pop. Guitars with shit intonation. More broadly: consumables that wear through too quickly and cause people to nope out of the hobby because it is ‘too expensive’, the list goes on.

There is something reassuring about quality gear because beginners don’t always know or properly understand this stuff.

With that said there is a point beyond which those returns begin to diminish.

Mostly we just make up our own race. I’ve pretty much settled on “dark white”.

I really don’t understand their position.

Cats cannot make a moral choice so what are these folks going to do when they see their “vegan” cat take down a bird or a mouse?

The fact that domesticated cats are notorious hunters really does make this whole thing pretty fucking funny tbh.

I’m asking this purely out of naivety, not trying to make a point: are you saying that because there are removed comments there that seem balanced and pretty thoughtful but have been removed regardless?

This is honestly my very first time looking at a modlog so I’m trying to got understand how to read it.

When is science ever “conclusive”?

That very concept is anti-science.

Nowadays “the science is inconclusive” is used to weasel out of corners that grifters paint themselves into.

Scientific consensus now there’s a concept worth understanding and putting forth in arguments such as this one.

You’re totally forgetting the part where from the very top down that company is run by total fuckwads.

They’ve fucked up at every single step and remained utterly self righteous throughout.

So you accidentally learned the greatest lesson the church has to offer. Salvation for a profit.

I’m fucking convinced you guys are going to vote that chud in again. Or let him be voted in again. There is nuance but it’s the same outcome.

What he doesn’t realise (which most middle aged men don’t realise, myself included) is how far the culture has moved since 2001. The values, the mores, the basic morality has shifted. It isn’t tight jeans past 40 that make you look old, it’s your outmoded relationship with the world that does that.

Human beings creating hell on earth. Still.
