I've been called "a giant faggot" but I'm medium at most. ♥️

*braces for down votes and possible ban* (pawb.social)

I’ve been seeing a worrying number of these people on Lemmy lately, sharing enlightened takes including but not limited to “voting for Biden is tantamount to fascism” and “the concept of an assigned gender, or even an assigned name, at birth is transphobic” and none of them seem to be interested in reading more than...

so I and every other left-of-center person I know with an interest in retaining their sanity has elected not to care

Maybe you should care about transphobia?

Imperfect solutions that work are better than perfect solutions that don’t

But things that aren't solutions remain harmful.

The sooner leftists

...there it is.

best ally I can be

Wouldn't reinforce a transphobe's transphobic views, would they?

my trans friends

Oh, you trans friends? Are they "some of my best friends" by any chance?

“anything short of perfection in a single step is not worth fighting for at all”

What does that have to do with taking steps backwards?

I am sincerely begging you to understand the concept of harm reduction.

Setting aside your post history instilling me with doubt you're doing anything "sincerely", you don't reduce harm by increasing net harm.

Do you know what sometimes means?

If I said, "The sun sometimes rises in the east." that is a true statement, but not evidence that it ever does otherwise and if I wanted to claim "...and sometimes it rises in the west." I would still need to provide evidence other than stressing the "sometimes" in my first statement.

How can calling a person (and not actions) "illegal" be anything but derogatory?
Explain your west-rising sun, please.

FfaerieOxide,

If the claim that illegal is sometimes derogatory is true then the the claim illegal is always derogatory or never derogatory is false.

No it isn't. Nothing about "sometimes" being true itself proves the corollary "always" is false.

Besides, you would think you could end this by giving the example to refuse to proffer of a non-derogatory use.

“It’s not discriminating against his lifestyle — that’s his choice,” Potteiger said in the meeting. “But it’s him speaking about it.”

We can't stop you from doing it, but you'd better be ashamed of it.

While I agree in principle I tend to think there are still unforgivable crimes and irredeemable people out there.

Then you don't agree.

I wasn't aware crime was about forgiveness.
I thought in-so-far as societies implemented systems of justice, their purpose was restitution and rehabilitiation.

No one gains anything from a person—irrespective their prior actions—being murdered and we all lose a bit of our soul each time a state execution is allowed to take place.

I really expected better from Vietnam, whose "quarantine at gunpoint" public health policies I heartily endorse.

FfaerieOxide,

I gain more confidence that the world is now a better place.

Oh word? Did the horrific thing they did no longer happen?

FfaerieOxide,
FfaerieOxide avatar

The way these people affect so many lives negatively with their fraud is much worse than a person committing murder.

Irrespective how is two bad things better than one bad thing? I would think fewer bad things would be net better.

The literal misery they cause to so many people for their own benefit without a fucking iota of shame and their sociopathic behavior is enough to consider eliminating them from society.

You speak of "sociopathic behavior" while advocating state murder. 🤨

FfaerieOxide,

Take the money, sure. Then they're no longer billionaires and there's no need to kill them.

FfaerieOxide,

Each one of those assaults is a potentially life-altering trauma induced in a child.

Don't tell me what being abused as a child does to someone, thanks.

Does killing the person who did it make the assault not have happened?

FfaerieOxide,
FfaerieOxide avatar

Allow me some cognitive dissonance

Not if you use it to advocate state murder I won't.

killing them leads to the inevitability of innocent people dying.

Innocent people will always have the ability to die, no matter how many people your state murders.

FfaerieOxide,

Well then. Murdering someone as ex-post "punishment" for past actions remains abhorrent, but holding a gun to her head until she gives the money back is cool and good.

There is a difference between threatening violence as a deterrent against currently engaged in harms a person has the ability to cease and claiming moral authority to end a person's life due to things they have no control over.

There's distinction between "Put down the box or we'll shoot you." and "Having touched the box in the past, you now need to die regardless."

Still don't fuck with "The death penalty" as a framework for the threat, however.

FfaerieOxide,
FfaerieOxide avatar

Alright. I DON’T agree.

You should; death as a post-hoc punishment is abhorrent and serves no one.

FfaerieOxide,
FfaerieOxide avatar

I’m not even going to dignify this response.

That's a response.

Have a nice day

Thank you. It'll indeed be much nicer without you advocating state murder in it. 🙂

Some people cannot be rehabilitated.

You can't know that. You only have evidence for people's inability to've been rehabilitated so far.

I’m just curious what you think the course of action should be at that point?

Not murder.

if they’re miserable, and the people around them are made miserable, and the people trying to help them are made miserable…what do you do?

...drugs?

FfaerieOxide,

Does the danger remain "immediate" their entire stay in (implied horrific) southern state prison?

Read to me as though the person proffering that desired retribution against "a POS" and not reform.

Thinking on it some of the Star Wars films might tie, but I really think it all comes down to if Enter The Dragon got that CBHD release. 🤔

Still seems it might be a tie as I have found evidence the first 3 Star Wars films were released on Video2000, but I have not found any evidence they were released on UMD.

FfaerieOxide,

found evidence the first 3 Star Wars films were released on Video2000

Anyone know if Enter The Dragon also got a VCC release? I was able to find Exit The Dragon, ENTER THE TIGER on Video2000/VCC, but as you all know that is an entirely different Bruceploitation flick staring Bruce Li.

It existing on VCC does imply Enter The Dragon may well have been released on the format as well, and we could close the book on StarWars.

FfaerieOxide,

How do you even research this?

I take a guess and then see how many formats for that guess I can find. It helps to know alot of home video formats I can check against.
Tell you though it isn't easy because search engines have noticeably began to suck donkey ass of late. All the skills I've developed have turned worthless as searching no long works the way it did a scant few years ago.

I would wonder if there's a Bollywood film that meets the same criteria and could be a strong contender?

I suppose it's possible Deewaar or Muqaddar Ka Sikandar got a whole bunch of other releases (the second was popular in The Soviet Union) but other than that I don't think laserdisc was ever released in India and that's a whole format. Since some of these films released on near every format every one counts.

HAVE NOT STATED AN ALTERNATIVE!

not doing that, Jesus.

FfaerieOxide,
FfaerieOxide avatar

“Okay. What do you think we should do instead?”

Stop doing that. Christ on a cracker.

If I told you "kicking puppies is wrong" would you demand 'an alternative' to do instead?
Don't kick puppies.

FfaerieOxide,

What do you do?

Concede being trans is sinful?

Oh wait no, that's what you do.

FfaerieOxide,
FfaerieOxide avatar

state your fucking position.

I already did, and I don't feel you are arguing in good enough faith—having been willing to concede being trans "is sinful"—to address you in any deeper detail.

You jump on the name thing rather than seeing it as an outcrop of assigning sex and gender and then bitch about it in other threads using disingenuous descriptions that conflate the two but only address the later.
