Vote for decent people, or lobby against ads, there is no street ads in my city since many years its so good (the mayor did not renew ads contracts and banned it)
What are people’s thoughts about the children’s size urinal? Never use it if there’s another option? Only use it if the other option would place you adjacent to another person? What about if you have a choice between adult and child’s urinals next to each other, but using the child’s urinal would allow space for another person to optimally avoid neighboring persons?
I feel like this is a variant of the trolley problem that’s woefully unexplored.
I get what you mean, but realistically I don’t end up investing gratuitous amounts of time into anything - and even if I did I’d probably fuck it up and draw incorrect conclusions.
That’s why I depend heavily on Cunningham’s Law and Google.
Okay I’ll bite: maybe using Google is relative, as in if everyone around you does no research at all while you do some, then you are ahead of that curve.
I have come to the point of linux and server management that I could consider my self the right one but I just can’t bring my self to accept that. ( use gentok as main os, hosts 20 diff services on a server )
Right wing in general is full of the easily deceived and hateful.
2 main tactics used is to either convince the stupid people you’re on their side helping them with their ideals, or that the things they hate are a threat and you’re the only one who can save them.
It’s a shame it’s turned into this, and that right wing went so crazy that left wing is now just about not letting them destroy the world.
They constantly talk about how people want to extend abortions into the entire pregnancy like that’s actually a thing. Maybe the first person is doing it on purpose fucking with the fact that any sane person would let an invalid/lethal pregnancy go to save the mother’s life but the goons who listen to that crap don’t check.
My wife’s born again idiot ex-friend who came to visit her and tell her she’s a baby killer (never had an abortion, but is pro-choice) insisted people are aborting babies at 9 months.
Yeah, that’s what I told my mom. She tried to tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about. They wouldn’t just deliver the baby and let someone adopt it if the birth parents don’t want it. No, they’ll kill the baby mid-delivery. I hate that it’s my mom, but some people can’t be reasoned with.
I started asking for examples of when that happened.
It’s funny how angry people get when you ask them for proof of their ridiculous claim. Especially when they start insisting they have the proof, they just don’t feel like sharing “because of your attitude” and when it gets to that point I just openly start laughing at them.
That’s the problem with cultists. They believe everything without proof to the point they believe proof is wrong somehow. Like the only valid beliefs are ones that are taken on faith and run counter to all logic and reason.
After all, if everything you believe isn’t totally bullshit, how can you claim you have faith?
My mother STILL believes that “partial birth abortion” is a thing. Like, at one point she literally believed doctors would use a reflex-testing mallet to smash in a baby’s skull as it was being born. I heard these words come out of her mouth when I was a child.
Now she just thinks they use a surgical hose to suck the brain out as it’s coming out.
My mother in law also threatened to not come to the wedding because I made a pro-choice post on social media. It was literally my only post of the year, because I only keep the account for messaging family. She insisted I’m a baby killer. She also thinks someday she and her family will be dragged out in the street and executed for being christian.
They do think abortion is killing babies, just unborn babies. That’s what half the argument comes down to. One side thinks it’s “should it be legal to kill unborn babies?” and the other side thinks it’s “should it be legal to end your pregnancy before it’s a baby?” And it’s hard to find a middle ground because the former thinks they’re babies as soon as they’re conceived and the latter thinks it’s a good way later down the road.
I completely disagree with you, but please explain in which cases you feel fetuses deserve rights and in which ones you feel don’t and why only some fetuses deserve rights.
Personally, I just don’t think pregnant women need legal restrictions here. I imagine, ultra-conservatives think that more liberal women just have tons of unprotected sex and gladly risk getting pregnant, because they can just get an abortion.
But I’ve never seen that actually being a thing. Women will generally use some form of contraception to avoid getting pregnant in the first place. And if they do get pregnant, I have never heard of any woman, who took the decision to get an abortion lightly.
I believe that no woman will apply a lower moral standard to her unborn baby (or not-yet-baby, whatever) than our moral standards for human life in general.
Outright prohibiting abortion is not a higher moral standard, because you’ll have many cases where the outcome is worse for everyone involved, e.g. when the baby is already dead, but cannot be removed.
This is so worthwhile talking about. I used to struggle with this stuff quite a bit until realising what you’ve said here. The right frequently seems to mischaracterise pro-choice as pro-abortion, and that is completely wrong. No one likes abortion. And yet, it happens. Conservatives should do some introspection on those two facts.

Americans are funny about this. Sure you don’t go next to someone if there is space but you wouldn’t not use one.
I was talking a piss in a bar in America and cracked up a conversation with the guy next to me and realised he found it very unusual. I said (at the sinks) that doesn’t happen here much does it? He goes no does it happen back home? I was like yea sure if you’re drunk. Americans seem too worried if you’re gay but who doesn’t love a bit of straight guy on straight guy homoeroticism every now and then (not that pissing next to someone is).
Also trough is the best when there is a fuckload of people like at a stadium otherwise it takes for ever. The guys that use the cubical for a piss and hold everyone up are wankers. Though I once called a guy out on it at work and he said “I don’t know what it is! I just can’t pee around people! I’ve tried, it’s not like I’m embarrassed. I’ll show you my ddick if you want, I don’t care I just can’t pee next to someone.” I almost pissed over myself I was laughing so much.
I used to get piss shy at troughs, but I can tell you exactly why. 6 or 7 year old me was using one probably for the 1st time, and some cunt decided to say “quit looking at my dick kid!” I fuckin wasn’t, but when your head is at dick height, like maybe it would appear that way. I was focused on my own dick n trying to piss, and then couldn’t . Thanks to that fuck, for ~ the next 12 years of my life I was not able to squeeze a drop at a trough unless I had the corner, or ample space. Had a complex for years over it. Eventually, alcohol would solve that problem… If I’m drunk, I can piss fuckin anywhere. Now it doesn’t really bother me anymore, but fuck that guy. I’m, definitely glad troughs have mostly gone the way of the dodo because of said complex, but at times when I’m at sporting events, I wouldn’t mind if they still had them because men’s rooms never had lines before.
I have a pair that kind of does this. When I put them on, the ads go away but are replaced with huge phrases like “OBEY” and “THIS IS YOUR GOD” on every building. 7/10 - improved but not blocked.
