Just because they CAN have trackers doesn’t make them all bad. You do not know this mailing list does, so it is blatant fear mongering.
You may as well be complaining about how web cookies can be used for bad things. Is it true? Yes. Is it true everywhere? NO! And writing rules around it so ignorantly is how you get the GDPR clause where EVERYONE has a cookie warning popup and hides the tracking cookie options a couple pages in, so they STILL use tracking cookies, and now with legally “informed” consent!
The fear mongering made the situation WORSE because ignorant fucks were more afraid than informed.
“They don’t use their own service” is not the same as, “this is evidence they do in fact track via email.”
What you don’t seem to realize is, the signup ITSELF is the data they want, and click through rates. You being on a mailing list is already ample tracking compared to what most people are bitching about… You’re GIVING them the info, then whining about them having it…
Note: They ALREADY HAVE YOUR DATA in this scenario. You’re like the fucking stupid soldier who wants to go back out there while they’re currently bleeding out… You’ve already lost by the point we’re talking about. They have your email. They have your interests. You’ve already visited their site and gotten their cookies to sign up…
If you even remotely want to see the email, they’re already tracking you far, FAR more than they’d be able to with email. Click on a link in there? Congratulations: It DOESN’T MATTER what’s in the email at that point. You’re back in their entire environment and you’ve signaled email helped get you there. Regardless of what was in the email.
You’re complaining about someone stealing food from your fridge and conveniently ignoring that they have to have access to your house to even try it in the first place…
That’s only the kind and charitable interpretations. There are ample stories of God directly murderizing people just for disobeying a direct order.
IMO, it’s all complete codswallop that’s been misconstrued off of the simple recordings of history and an attempt at passing on wisdom about which rulers were good and why.
After all, all it takes is some narcissistic piece of shit emperor to declare they shall be referred to as “god”, and no other rulers will even be recorded as having a similar honorific … and bam. God as described in the Bible suddenly makes perfect sense being a fickle piece of shit because he’s just a bastardized history of seemingly good rulers dealing with completely different problems in completely different ways.
Now, I don’t think that’s all of it. There is obviously much spirituality and baby’s first philosophy wrapped up in there, too.
The point about being omnipotent vs free will is… if he does ANYTHING to change our fate, he’s corrupting free will, which is supposed to be our greatest gift.
The entire concept of an omniprescient and all powerful being is nonsensical as described by Christians. A being LITERALLY CANNOT be all knowing, all kind, and omnipotent. Not if our reality is involved.
That is why there is so much debate over the nature of god and “good”. As described, it is literally impossible, so it becomes incredibly subjective.
Wow, tell me you’re a fucking pathetic “enlightened centrist” without telling me you’re a pathetic enlightened centrist. Seriously. If you think the left are closer to Nazis than the political party who literally runs Nazis on their ticket… You are beyond fucked. Fucking brainwashed and fucking stupid.
Next you’ll be telling me, “nuhuh, the Nazis were socialists!” No, the Nazis CALLED themselves socialist, but something tells me you’re too stupid to understand the basic fact that Nazis lie.
They are an easy example to demonstrate how stupid OP is. He is using language that is LITERALLY defending Nazis. He is saying the political party that actively, literally runs Nazis on their ticket, is LESS antisemitic than leftists… A group that doesn’t even have a political party in the US.
Am I being a little hyperbolic when I call some Republicans Nazis? Yes, but if you think progressives are more antisemitic than people who literally own Nazi memorabilia, something is fundamentally wrong with your brain.
Nazis are the quintessential antisemite, so if you cannot agree that they are the bigger antisemite… that’s a STRONG indication of pure dumbassery.
Don’t hunt for echo chambers. Hunt for refining your rhetoric so you can make allies no matter where you end up. Seeking echo chambers is simply defeatist reactionary behavior. Voices of all types will not be permitted in certain areas. Especially if you’re randomly spouting off things that you want agreed with.
Are you an intelligent leftist looking for allies, or a reactionary looking for an echo chamber? If it’s the former, then be happy: You don’t have to waste your time proselytizing there if you know you’ll get banned for it there. If it’s the latter, be happy: now you know it’s not your echo chamber.
Are you intelligent? Then why were you bringing up a 30+ year old tragedy in WorldNews? Tiananmen Square has not been news for decades. Yes, there has been many tragedies since, even tragedies that share many hallmarks. Though you using as evidence that your banning was unjust is… simply inadequate.
It’d make perfect sense if you were constantly proselytizing and comparing everything to China.
No. They heard it at the surface. You hear the equivalent of hundreds of pounds of explosives going off within a few thousand feet. It probably even vibrated the boat a bit.
It was the equivalent of a massive depth charge. They heard it at the surface near by unless the entire crew was sound asleep.
Try again. High CO2 is highly uncomfortable. You cannot catch your breath, headaches, confusion, body has to deal with blood trying to go more acidic… CO2 poisoning is anything but a nice nap.
I think it depends greatly on what part of the fart they’re enjoying and why. Someone laughing at a nicely audible, clean rip is very different than someone chuckling at overhearing a wet one.
