I tend to anger people who call for violence. -queer atheist combat vet, democratic socialist, lover of nature and all living things. I'm a bit of an extremist in that I think a spider has the same rights as people.

What do you mean we "cannot allow?" are you implying we have a choice?

Just use Discord. It's better than most porn sites anyways

Idk...something makes me think this is a sensitive area and people walking in it is destructive. Is there not an alternative way to traverse this? Or go around it? Maybe a paddle board?

You may perhaps ask: the United States of Africa? How did you arrive at this conclusion?

...if he just shot the hostage, removing the bargaining chip from the bank robber, tipping the tables of negotiation towards the FBI. The rest of the world would be in shock and either: A) nuke the US B) acquiesce to US demands C) form the United States of Africa, the new world superpower

You pay perhaps ask, hey, how did you arrive at this conclusion? And I'd tell you: metaphorically, Taiwan is a hostage at a bank robbery. China is the robber. The US is the FBI sniper, and the nuke is the bullet. The chaotic neutral FBI sniper would get on with his day faster...

Shit like this is EXACTLY the reason why the US needs to nuke Taiwan

Go get a job in China and say you oppose the CCP. I promise you won't just get fired.

I mean don't get me wrong, I don't want anyone to think I love the US. There are definitely better countries, especially now. It's just that if I had to pick where to live: US or China...🇺🇸

There is something beautiful about the traditional Chinese way of life in rural areas. Bejing and Shanghi, both cities I've been to, are gorgeous. But the CCP is totalitarianism. There are powerful people in the US trying to turn the US into Christo-Facist totalitarianism, but we're not there yet.

So...having been there, people are afraid to talk shit on China. People in the US, are not afraid to talk shit on the US. There's something to unpack there. Are there atrocities on both sides? Yes. But I'd still rather live in the US, as would also the average Chinese citizen.

Bootleg Bob @bootlegbob.bsky.social · 26/07/2025
There are a LOT of Chinese sympathisers in here. People who are in the US, but are unhappy with it right now, have no idea how much worse China is.

Can your friend hire people to write her emails for her? And AI is used as an excuse, but AI itself is not an excuse. That's kind of my point. The technology is not a bad thing, but a lot of its use is bad

And on top of that, Meta's AI platform is trash.

"No" isn't an argument. AI is a reality you should become proficient with, either to use it or to defend against it. Otherwise you'll be like old people who never learned to use the internet. Google your phone number and see if you can find every detail about yourself. That's AI at work.

Well...the process of removing blood from your body is what lessens the PFOS load. You shouldn't deny yourself this option because no one is interested in receiving your blood 😉

I agree that massive data centers required to run it are bad for the environment and something should be done about it. I don't think the ethics of AI are as simple as "kill the environment, yes or no."

with object that can cause harm, so we regulate the object that can cause harm. Although in these changing times, AI is on your side if they're suggesting you as a business.

I think Chat GPT is a net good. AI has it's downsides, but it can be a huge timesaver in an ethical way. The problem isn't AI, the enabler. The problem is people, the user. You're approaching AI the way proponents of gun control (I am one of them) approach guns. We can't control what people do 1/2

Old news. The New Yorker is reporting on information already published in documentaries. If they want to be relevant, report on successful techniques to get it out of our bodies.

I'm not aware of any vaccine that goes into your asshole, but I would assume that the butt-cheek shots would be exempt from the anti-gay sex law. Assuming vaccines are still allowed...

Ooh, yeah I could see a vasectomy ban happening in the near future, especially as there is a growing concern about population decline. Valid point on T prescriptions, too.

The full content of the Epstein files is probably sitting in someone's Signal chat, waiting to be leaked.

I think the OP is trying to make a case for the right to an abortion by saying men have body autonomy and women don't. I think people in this thread can agree that yes, women should have body autonomy and that no, boys shouldn't be circumcised.

What would a law governing a man's body look like?

Bootleg Bob @bootlegbob.bsky.social · 22/07/2025
Can you clarify, are you saying circumcision is legal or is it illegal? You seem to be saying both, so it's hard to understand your position.

Apostrophes can be possessive or they can be used in a contraction, but they don't make nouns plural. Just say liberals. Also, no need to capitalize it, it's not a proper noun. Rebublicans is a proper noun, but liberals definitely don't claim them.

There's gotta be like, what, another copy of the Epstein list? Surely the US government doesn't have the only copy.

risking myself for commenting here: I am both a feminist, and someone who believes that there are people who simply want this lifestyle, both men and women, without being a result of any misogynistic influence. When we view life through only one lens, we only see one shade of reality.

in the absence of sponsored research, crowdsource, publish, preserve. I'm now concerned for the security of published research, that we all had to pay for access to in the first place. The public doesn't have it, and that means it's in danger.

Maybe, in a demisexual way, we have grown accustomed to our own reflections and are less attracted to a different lens view of ourselves. I've never really liked my own picture, despite what others say. I think, damn, are these boots really that tight on me? But when I look down, it's fine.

I'm so confused. You are determined to be contrary to anything I say, no matter my position.

Bootleg Bob @bootlegbob.bsky.social · 04/07/2025
Let's be fair here, by arguing with me about something I am not saying, you are making assumptions about me. We can continue like this all day long, or we can set aside our anger for each other, and agree that in general, violence against others = bad.

Actually this is a fantastic example of the idea I am attempting to get across. When someone behaves the way you do, to me it looks like a toddler crying. But, if you communicate like an adult and we can have a conversation about it, it will help both of us to understand the other's perspective.
