Hello.

  • I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about this photoshop that makes it utterly amazing. Might be the hat.

  • I really hope this doesn't start an actual cult. People don't need much in the way of an excuse, you know.

  • I'm sorry, but if you want me to remain what you'd define as civil, you're going to need to be reasonable, not ridiculous. You haven't answered my question. Where does this belief all things are sourceable come from?

  • No, that's a frankly absurd request. What is or is not "good" is not something sourceable, it's an entirely subjective question. What makes you think everything has some definitive source?

  • Not if I'm recounting a personal experience, no. Humans are not purely rational creatures, otherwise laissez faire capitalism would solve all the world's problems.

    If I wished to be purely rational, then perhaps. But personally I do not think all feelings are worth disregarding.

  • If done poorly it very much is. But practice makes you better at it.

  • It depends too much on way too many factors. Generally I'll be almost as polite as they're being.

    Convos usually involve turn-taking though, so once you've provided evidence or a sound argument, you should not be forced to do it again. It should be their turn to assert something, and then possibly have to provide whatever.

    Just don't let the opportunity pass to treat them exactly, or potentially slightly worse, depending, than they're treating you. Don't stay on defense, assert, ask questions, directly contradict, whatever is needful.

  • Don't let them dictate the convo. You can assert control as well, don't let them lead uncontested.

  • Just call it out and redirect back to the topic. It's like training a dog.

  • Just an anecdotal account. I was expressing my own experiences and how they make me feel, for which it would be challenging and largely unnecessary to provide evidence to a random dumbass on the internet, yes?

    /not s, an example

  • Good thing human population growth seems to level off and start dropping after awhile.

  • It's a clever method of trolling. But if you come prepared and/or are willing to put some effort in, you actually can wreck them with evidence and sound arguments that shuts them completely up.

    This is very satisfying.

  • France does not need NATO permission to deploy their own troops. They pulled out of the NATO command structure back in the 1960s.

  • They don't need evidence when they have their "gut instincts".

  • Probably don't want to just believe that her words reflect her stances. Much like McConnell, she'll say whatever she thinks she needs to say to help accomplish her personal goals.

    World is a complicated place, especially when you're trying to not fall quickly to a purge, which is pretty clearly a goal she has. Otherwise she'd be gone by now.

  • If you don't acknowledge the repubs trying to fight against the fascist slide inside their own party, you're just helping fascists get what they want. They're doing a political purge. This should be remembered.

  • ozma isn't as bad imo.

    This cat is a malicious commenter that shits on almost everything. ozma posts news articles and pushes on some genuinely important issues.

    I argue with ozma from time to time, I definitely don't always agree with their stances, but I have no real problems with them. I think people like that are important in a healthy democracy. Not a troll imo.

    This one though, has me doubting sometimes.

  • Haley does not have the Heritage Foundation's 2025 plan in the wings. She would probably not have done a Jan 6th. If you can't see the difference between a fascist and a shitty Mitch McConnell type, the problem with our country is you.

    Nuance and details are important. People's bullshit gut checks based on their feelings are not.

  • Dude's comment was clearly saying that Trump and Haley were the same. If someone cannot see the very clear and obvious differences between the two, their brainwashing has been strong.

    Except I wonder if its brainwashing or just trolling.
