@theory_dance@WobbleBang@RealJoeBonanno@sandibachom@mrbigg450 In terms of the budget it is functionally identical to take $100 off of taxes as it is to cut them a check for $100.
To the extent your scheme pays out less, then that means your scheme isn't fixing the problem people are pointing out, along with other issues I pointed out
@RachelPAV@dioscuri Yeah, I'm part of the far left and I get the sense that because the right has weaponized "agree to disagree", the left internally has swung too far the other way, and the left has always needed to be more familiar with conservative thought.
@Radrappy In one of the Bard's Tales you could do this. You could choose which of the two factions to take the side of in the end or just decide it's not your problem and go drink while the world ends.
@slipperygoblin People will simultaneously get snotty about Americans using too many abitrary measurements but then have this very weird obession about us not using fortnight. Get a new hobby.
@dieworkwear Still think it's weird that there are some men that think they should have half the house as their personal space. Imagine if the wife wanted the entire downstairs to be "ladies spa".
@Aber402@Liv_Agar It's wild that you would call me the r word but then argue without irony that it's impossible to understand a work of art beyond your first knee jerk impression.
@Aber402@Liv_Agar It's always wild watching people argue against their own imaginations. People aren't universally ravenous about bugs in their own homes either, smart guy.
@alexjames1917@LordBanders@Liv_Agar I am not the first to point out that conservatism over the past 10+ years has become utterly nihilistic. They have no values anymore other than believing whatever they need to believe in the moment to get their way.
@Aber402@Liv_Agar The issue isn't with the movie, the issue is a growing group of Americans who are too willfully ignorant to admit when something they like disagrees with them.
@Aber402@Liv_Agar There is obviously no such innate need to kill insects at all costs, almost no one is that fanatical about insects, and obviously it doesn't take over our logic, because normal people can discuss this movie fine.
