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...

I ... conceded ... that being trans was sinful

You did what? 🤨

FfaerieOxide,

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?

The death penalty is always wrong.
Murder is not a punishment and once you've stripped her of her ill-got gains there is no longer any reason to kill her.

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.

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

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

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. 🤨

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

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?

Are we worrying about the fully functional adults that still need to be told not to drink Draino?

Don't people attack crime scene re-enactors?

“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.

this POS deserves to be locked up in a southern state prison.

No one deserves to be locked in prison.

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.

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.

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.

If the first movie had you thinking about, I dunno, Baudrillard

And then the fourth* had Niel Patrick cosplaying as Blanchard.

*which I still refuse to acknowledge

What claim is unsubstantiated?

That there can be a non-derogatory utilization of the adjective illegal to refer to a person with as though the word were a countable noun.

All that has been done is to post a dictionary entry which agrees that when it is used as a noun it is a slur—behavior I would not expect from one who has endeavored excellence toward their fellows.

FfaerieOxide,

You have yet to describe the times it is not.

FfaerieOxide,

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.

what. is. your. alternative.

Not shoving people into boxes we know aren't accurate based on a 2 second glance at baby genitals.

Why is that even a thing you want to do?

FfaerieOxide,

I notice first off you're conveniently ignoring how I have been referring to sex designations for the past several posts and instead exclusively focusing on my earlier statement about names.

Makes me doubt your faith, that.

I will broaden and ask why you think any imposition of a gender on a person who has not yet informed you what it is is laudable or appropriate, be that marker on a certificate or a gendered name?

FfaerieOxide,

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.
