“Help me build my echo chamber.”

Didn’t even notice that at first. All I could see were the thousand-yard stares

Insufferable.

I can’t believe I even have to explain this.

There is no way to argue against a statement like “Women’s safety is more important than men’s feelings” because it’s such a loaded and ambiguous statement. It’s just as loaded and misused as the statement “it’s wrong to murder children” when used by proponents of banning abortion and limiting women’s reproductive rights. You can’t argue that it’s okay to “murder children” because it’s not okay to do that, but they’re intentionally misusing the statement to their own benefit for the emotional impact.

There’s probably some name for this logical fallacy, but I don’t know what it is. But the important thing is that you’ve fallen victim to it. “Men’s feelings” and “women’s safety” don’t negate each other, and they don’t have to compete; not unless you challenge somebody to argue against the statement “Women’s safety is more important than men’s feelings” exactly as you’ve done here. You’re manufacturing conflict from out of nowhere, and it’s an annoying distraction from real-world issues.

Why don’t you target your statement a little better? Why don’t you hold the actions of rapists and abusers against rapists and abusers, instead of innocent men who’ve done nothing but try to live their lives and respect the people around them?

Get off your fucking high-horse and rejoin reality with me where we have mutual respect for each other, whether you’re a man or a woman.

You are, right now. This post was, as well as every other post. I’m not just going to sit here and bite my tongue. The entire thing was designed as an attack to get a rise out of people, and here it is. Thanks to whoever made this post.

What kind of person would I be if I weren’t willing to defend myself?

Feel however you want, but don’t drag me into the what other people have done. I don’t deserve the prejudice, and I’d rather just not interact with you.

Okay. I don’t care enough to argue, so you win. Go hang out with the bears.

“How dare you try to defend yourself or half of all humanity.”

Since we’re crunching numbers, go ahead and normalize these as a percent based on number of direct bear encounters and number of direct man encounters. This will be the real numbers you care about hahaha

I’m all about personal choice. Please enjoy the nightmare of a bear mauling over just hanging out with a random person (if I even understand the question correctly–what the heck is even going on)

Dumb, low effort, meaningless retort.

Gasoline is only one part of what comes from oil. If you participate in modern society, you’re using petroleum products whether you like it or not lol

Yeah, for sure. I used to think they just both sucked, and maybe they still do, but there’s no excuse for the level to which Israel has gone. And now I question whether Palestine was acting in some sort of “self defense” all along.

I think back to other revolutions and such, and although they aren’t 1-1 comparisons, I wonder… I bet the people of England thought the Americans were absolute terrorists during the revolutionary war.

Anyways. Not an expert… just been trying to make sense of the happenings.

Has Israel been the bad guy the entire time, or just as of a few months ago?

I perused the comments and didn’t see anyone mention this. The term “engineer” is regulated by every state in the US. I doubt they had Tinder in mind, but calling yourself an “engineer” without having a Professional Engineer license is illegal, at least when it comes to offering professional engineering services. It’s a protected title so that schools and bridges don’t get built by scammers–at least that was the intention. I can legally call myself an Engineer!

Just go get your license, and you should be golden lol.

People are being hung and burned to death, and you’re commenting about seeing some mild photos of it? We need to get over it and commit to becoming more intimately familiar with how a large portion of the world works, because avoiding violence seems to be a privilege and a luxury, the more I see of the world. The least we can do is witness it, because I think violent revolution and violent oppression is closer to any of us than we want to admit.

Let’s go Katabatic! Shazbot!

Hilariously, Texas is all about giving people the freedom to freeze to death with their substandard electrical service in the name of “freedom from government oppression”, but they can’t just let trans people decide to transition because it could be a mistake and they might regret it? All while supporting child labor where kids could get crushed or heinously injured in massive industrial equipments? Amazing.

Had to ask myself what kind of bars they even had on Dubai. Apparently they don’t take the alcohol thing as seriously as I thought.

How do I boycott Panama? I’ll add them onto my list with Nestlé lol
