Rediphile,

Because even if they look for it and find it, whoever is riding just says it theirs and there is literally nothing the police can do unless it was caught on video or there is a meaningful identifying feature like a serial number or something else specific and unique.

Seeing a sketchy guy with a black and red bike with the same bike rack you had isn’t enough to prove anything.

If an officer approached me riding my bike around and asked me to prove it’s mine, I couldn’t either despite not being a thief.

They can, and do, say that.

Edit: just without the you’re not important to us part.

It’s definitely poking fun at the fact that people who vape are younger on average than those who smoke cigs, not supposing literally only teens vape.

Sort of like how lots of old people also use venmo, but it’s particularly popular among the young.

Rediphile,

Yes, sort of like gummy bears versus fentanyl.

Rediphile,

Or maybe don’t work at such a place? Don’t agree to an unfair deal. Quit. Force the employer to change.

Rediphile,

Lol what do you mean by 3 kids ‘came at me’? Because kicking someone in the nuts for walking towards you sort of seems like provoking a fight.

Rediphile,

But that would also eliminate all obese people from the media. Which is like 30%+ of the population.

Rediphile,

I can say I didn’t try. Because I don’t try.

Rediphile,

That’s cool. But the idea of a due date on digital media is also completely absurd, just give me the file. The entire point of libraries is to freely share information after all.

Rediphile,

Ripping up an image never makes anyone a bad person, religious figure or not.

Sure, I may prefer the tearing sound that images of Mohammed being ripped apart make… But that’s just subjective personal preference. Doesn’t mean people tearing up an image of the Virgin Mary are bad people. The important thing is neither does anything real to cause harm to anyone at all.

Rediphile,

So I get to continue living on someone else’s land? I really don’t feel good about that. And who is the ‘they’ here? Only pure blood line indigenous people, but not mixed race indigenous people? I sincerely do not understand what you’re trying to say here.

I definitely support ending property ownership and am a Marxist. But I still don’t know where the mixed race people like myself are supposed to go. And I literally want to go, just trying to figure out where.

Rediphile,

The area I live in is disputed between 3 different First Nations, one of which I am a part of…

I think you’re having trouble picturing me as a minority-dominant mixed race individual because you are white yourself?

Rediphile,

Look, we should do something. I’m looking for solutions. I want Japanese people to get their land back. I want Indigenous people to get their land back. I just don’t know how it’s even vaguely possible or feasible.

Also, following treaties signed under duress and in situations of radically unequally power dynamics isn’t too reasonable either. Not to mention that in much of Western Canada, for example, there aren’t many signed treaties at all.

It’s complicated, yes… But blindly yelling ‘land back’ doesn’t actually provide anyone any meaningful solutions. No one actually gets any land back that way.

Rediphile,

Because it isn’t something that can be meaningfully implemented. Not to mention what if it all goes to a First Nation I disagree with having control of it? Like I said, it’s contested between three indigenous groups.

There also the issue, that I keep bringing up, of me being mixed race. I don’t see how we can only look at the 25% of my genetic heritage while ignoring the other 75%. The world is a lot more complicated than a binary worldview of ‘idigenous or not’.

You, and others blindly yelling ‘land back’ without any specifics are not being realistic at all and just want to feel better about your own position without actually taking any meaningful specific actions.

Rediphile,

I am hopeless when it comes to accepting your white savior view of things, yes. And which original plan? The one in support of murdering all mixed race people? Also which table? I literally don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

If you can’t even justify your position, like…at all. Doesn’t that sort of make you consider rethinking your position at least a little bit?

Rediphile,

Many people are absolutely suggesting we give back Vancouver. Giving back only shit that settlers don’t really care about or use defeats the whole point doesn’t it?

Rediphile,

Where did I say anything about supporting genocide? You’re the one telling me to die lol. I don’t support any form of genocide and at no point in this thread, or any thread, did I say anything to even slightly imply that.

Did you get me confused with someone else you are replying to or something?

Rediphile,

Ahhh kk gotcha. Seems like just displaying [deleted by user] for that initial comment across all clients would make things a lot more clear.

Rediphile,

Everything done to make the Internet ‘safer’ and/or more clear to idiots has made it worse for anyone competent. The ability to control cookies was always there and worked completely fine since the 90s.

Forced two factor authentication is another one. I literally never had any issues before two-factor because I just used different unique passwords and didn’t share them with anyone. I have never been ‘hacked’ even once for 20+ years online. But now, I have issues when travelling and using a local sim with a different number when email authentication isn’t permitted. And all to protect idiots who use ‘hunter2’ for their password across all systems and then act like some elite hacker cracked their code.

I’ve since just set up a voip number purely for two factor phone number based authentication, but it’s annoying I was forced to do that instead of being given the option through and opt-in system.

Rediphile,

It’s not arbitrary. Really try to think about the problem at hand. The ‘why’ is quite apparent. Ask yourself why did they go with 99+1+98+2… in the first place? And why is that the same as 101+101…? What was the benefit of simplifying it to that? How did it save the student time?

You can deduce this yourself and literally no memorization is involved to figure this out. No formulas needed either.

Rediphile,

Yeah, but my sweet old grandma made it well into her 90s, so I’ll stick to there not being a god. The biblical god would have smitted her down long ago.

Rediphile, (edited )

You can give them as obviously as you like. Even hand them the physical card is fine. It’s still fraud if they use it without your explicit permission.

Edit: I misread that you said ‘obviously giving them permission’ part so I think I’m just reinforcing your point.

Rediphile,

They already know who I am lol. I don’t hide it at all, straight raw dogging it without VPN or anything. Thankfully they can’t do anything because they would lose money pursuing me.

Rediphile,

Thanks, I was finally able to make my colourblind brain see it.

Rediphile,

Is this one of those things that colourblind people see right through? Because I just see a lady sitting in her vehicle with legs a similar colour to the seat. What am I missing here?
