Right now there’s a murder trial nearby me wherein a man and his girlfriend were at his brother’s house, somebody broke in and the man shot at the invaders, but the invaders turned out to be police executing a no-knock warrant at the house… well when he shot, they shot back, and they fatally injured the man’s girlfriend. Now he’s on trial for her murder instead of the police who did the botched and unconstitutional raid, resulting in her death by police gunfire. Absolute joke of a justice system.

Sunbeam toaster from the 50s. Looks fantastic, has replaceable parts that obviously only need replaced at most once or twice per human life span, and it doubles as a mirror. Nobody enters my kitchen and fails to notice it either, which is a nice way to break the ice with first time guests.

This is a continuation of the dance around what’s being talked about. The reaction isn’t that ‘other people’s opinions are bad’. The reaction is that oppressive behavior being passed off as innocuous opinion is not genuine opinion, and cannot be tolerated in a peaceful society. But yeah, let’s minimize the opposing view like a cable TV news anchor.

“There’s no such thing as the mafia”.

Why can contrarians never just ask their questions with some respect? Y’all always gotta word it so cocky, putting words in people’s mouths. So you think [X bad thing] is GOOD?! How dare you? Just ask them if they’ve considered it, no need to use gas lighting language or erect a straw man, just ask like a grown up if you actually care about the answer.

Now we’re starting to delve into the differences between a society that sincerely cares about seeking justice, vs one that simply enjoys seeing people punished.

Most people forgot about them shortly after they stopped making free frisbees.

You matter.

Hope you like pollinating your crops manually. I heard it’s easier with a little paint brush. Hopefully we meet the need as a species, but looking at the news it would appear it’s all doom and gloom ahead.

You don’t need that to be a man. Masculinity is changing, and truly manly men accept and adapt to change; not cower from or reject it. You’ll make it through, but if you want anyone to enjoy spending time with you, you gotta drop the act and find your true self, and realize that while improvements are always welcomed, that you are enough as you are.

The consequences of that would be tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people like me quickly losing their place to live. Lots of people can only afford to live right now because they’re fortunate enough to know somebody with a second place which they can rent at below market rates. Most of the neighborhood I live in was bought and built in the late 80s, and is now the de facto retirement plan for dozens of military members who bought these places. No one idea fixes anything entirely, but I think the zoning ideas are the most widely and quickly effective, without destroying lives of average people.

we want all folks to feel welcome

That’s another thing they’ll tell you, to add to your point. They’ll say general society, or lefties, are unwelcoming hypocrits for expressing the need for inclusion while not including fascists.

They’ll word the same opinions in a million ways until they find the way that gets you to allow them to continue blabbering intolerant bull crap.
