The constant manipulation of the Bible to justify vile behavior (like marital rape and child molestation in this instance) is often written off in WA because "we're not Idaho". But this has permeated everywhere. Growing up in Idaho and in this ideology its even more horrifying then I can convey.

This thread really exemplifies some internal conflict I've been having. An AI company (whose co-founder's wife has ties to Epstein) is claiming that in the next 3 years there is a 10% chance AI will kill us all. But AI is killing people now, and their creators are not being held accountable.

Hi! I love your music, I saw you in Spokane last you were here. I'm warning people I respect. There are too many people, including OP, that are acting like children, but are clearly highly intelligent. Please unfollow this account so others don't bsky.app/profile/fain...

Isn't everyone on bluesky a stranger? Are you close personal friend of theirs? Aren't public posts open to Discord? You're completely right. You'd never be up to my standards.

That's your educated response? I've been a Trekkie since the 80s. You: >makes no intellectual argument >relies on syfy for your understanding of sociology. You know not all syfy authors can be Ursula K Le Guin.

In current U.S. culture "jihad" is intrinsically tied to Islamophobia. Jihad really means to struggle or make an effort. After 9/11, narrow-minded people translated it to "holy war" and fearful people bought it.

So I'm talking about sociology and you're referencing Star Wars? It's none of those things. I speak directly and politly. You called me ignorant and narcissistic. It also appears many of you have actually forgotten how to talk. I speak with kindness and empathy. I just suggested research.

Actually I'm good. I'm the only one offering definitions because you're arrogant and think it's fun to toy with people. I have only a little time for people who act impressively foolish.

Are you referring to "knuckling over"? Are you causing a horse's leg deformity? I'm struggling to find "Horse Knuckler" in any other dictionary because it's again, not used.

Why is your response to be rude and belittling? I sincerely apologize for misgendering. My brother is Trans and my current community is made up of many Trans people. I've never seen any of them respond this way. I wanted to discuss sociology with you. Again, I'm very sorry it has hurt you deeply.

No love, I'm explaining it to you. I even gave you sources. Also, I grew up around horses. No one uses that name because it's weird. A Knuckler refers to a horse's foot posture. No one calls themselves a horse knuckler.

Yes. Discourse is effective. I have apologized for misgendering. I continue to believe discourse is good. I didn't belittle them, I didn't insult them. I invited a researcher to do some research. Where do you find the issue?

A spelling error does not detract from intelligence. Also, you know what a "horse knuckler" is? Do you enjoy having a male camel toe? www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?t...

As a person, there is always more to learn in this world. What worries me is that I think I'm picking up an aversion to look into this further. I'm not combative. I'm not belittling you. I'm encouraging further research and discussion. And a Butlerian Jihad is from #Dune.

Hi! You and your followers really seem to like the word jihad. May I suggest you research the use of that word in current culture? As a white woman, you can learn a lot about how the word jihad is used in current culture and how it's continuing to be use in tandem with Islamiphobia. Best of luck!

It was also the candidates who clearly had not had mic training. Many seemed to think it's like a lapel mic that moves with you.

It was also the people. Some people were kind and understood. Others got louder, and some just glared at me (this often happens when I use my cane).

I have a new disability. I'm moving slow and in a ton of pain. I got there late and found seating in the back. It was incredibly loud, didnt make out more than 4 sentences all night. I'd fully advise next time not booking with such sound reverberations and/or not make a bar area in the same room.

I appreciate your concern. But, people with disabilities do not need a separate area. We want to sit with our friends or where we want in the room. To be integrated in all spaces. Accessibility isn't about separation. It's about real inclusion.

I'm completely heartbroken. I'm disabled and couldn't hear a thing. If you want to have a bar night, by all means, have one. But this was not an accessible event. Was there really no ramp for the candidate in a wheelchair? I've loved this event and y'all for so long, but accessibility matters.

Update. Every single candidate in here are the loudest ones. But they're all so loud. I'm in so much pain to be here. Like neurological damage (potentially) and I've got a migraine and I can't stop shaking. #whyisthiscompletelyunhinged
