@RichardDawkins@FondOfBeetles Terrorism has to be connected to a motivation to create political change, regardless of whether it is an outgrowth of a religious discourse, otherwise robbing a bank could be terrorism, or executing someone for blasphemy in a theocracy. Both are evil, neither are terrorism.
@jessesingal Dude, this hits hard. Those jerks lured a collared dog on someone else's property and gave it to a butcher. Theu admitted to it and told the guy to chill out.
God I hope they rot.
@kevinkfyam@donaldcclarke@michaelpforan Are we talking about the heckler's veto? If so it will never go away until off duty cops are hired to coercively remove people from rooms.
It will never ever ever go away until big dudes are paid to remove people from rooms.
Do you support that? If not tiny violin.
@zaelefty I think basically every culture turns the construction of shelter into a cultural practice. Yet, even if humans had no culture, we would still seek and construct shelter, reliably, or die. Does then architecture have a biological basis? The implication seems yes.
@stanfordNYC@ChristianHeiens My dad took me there three times when I was young. I hiked up the top each time. I flattened coins under the trains they have. I saw the light show they do.
I thought it was of George Washington and the founding fathers.
dynamite it.
@zaelefty The spontaneous binary framework is in fact more reliable than most if not all secondary sex characteristics.
If sex if biologically reducible, then it cannot be denied to gender identity unless this symmetry is just by chance.
@zaelefty Gender Identity reliably bifurcates relative to sex with stupendous regularity. It is one of the most impossibly reliable cross-cultural phenomena. Exceptions are extremely rare and highly contextualized.
@huwaliyasuntob It never works as an electoral issue. It didn't help Biden and it won't help the next one. Smuggle it in after an election but don't run on it.
@Noahpinion NYC looks way better than SF. Like, SF is really ugly. Even geographically it isn't that special. All of the residences wear their garages like fanny packs. NYC architecture is 10K times better than SF. Dude this is not even close. Just....no.
Seattle looks better than SF....
@Noahpinion Xena Warrior Princess was an incredibly stupid show. Like it was straight up bad. Game of Thrones was made in 1996 and these people were too stupid to realize what was there available to them. I grew up in the 90's. We all put the internet in our pockets because the 90's was mid
@KaiserKuo@donaldcclarke@Noahpinion No, he was referring those descriptions of those ships, and he was speaking rhetorically, which you could not see because you are desperate to gotcha him. It is easy to see he was referring to the conventional exaggeration of their nature.
@trans_jew They did in fact believe in democracy and the rule of law. Their outlook was quite aligned with practical Enlightenment era reformism: Europeans are the superior civilization. Other people suck. But for us ---the laws of reason and nature no. 1.
@ChinaUncensored So you see that Gulf of America thing? You wonder why liberals cut you off. That stuff right there is cooky and weird, as cooky and weird as many if not most of the most ridiculous stuff woke people think. It screams "I need to obey Trump"
@ChinaUncensored This is because on most of the issues where this becomes a problem, the conservatives are instinctively aware that the positions they hold are rationally untenable and radical, but they are just preferential to them. There's really only a couple where liberals do this.
@mattyglesias Look, we want to be able to pay for a ticket for them to ride the train, and take them i to bodegas to buy stuff, and onto restaurant and bar patios. Anyone who says they want more, ignore them. That's what we want.
Arrest people who don't use leashes and don't pick up poop.
