  • Speak for yourself. I’ve been saying Dems should be mocking his stupid speech patterns and hyperbolic nonsense since 2016. He is ripe to be mocked, and our greatest failing has been treating his stupidity and absurdity as valid stances worthy of being debated in earnest.

    By taking a high road against him we’ve basically destroyed ourselves and legitimized his positions via the gray fallacy.

    Coulda won the election by just going around making fun of him for being dumb enough to think injecting bleach was a solution to COVID.







  • You should take what works for you. There’s no “this drug is the real one that works.”

    Each drug has differences in the way it works and the effects on an individuals brain chemistry.

    A psychiatrist would start you on a low dose of a given drug and increase dosage while monitoring impact and side effects. There’s no good way to find the best drug for you without literally trying them all. But that’s a long annoying process, and I think most people just stop trying when they find one that’s “good enough.”








  • Uh yeah, I’m not going to go to jail over dishonesty. I’m not going to play martyr for some unknown mass of strangers that doesn’t care about me. And you talk about SA and those victims but prison is also a terrible fate unto itself that your argument entirely ignores. It’s like flippant to send someone to prison for years. Imagine if people were that dismissive about SA. Like prison conditions aren’t arguably worse being a risk if consistent SA and who knows how much other horrors.

    Should I now counter argue that you bringing up SA without acknowledging the horrors of prison is dismissive of men’s issues because of a for profit prison industrial complex?

    Everything affects everything. You bring up something, someone is always going to bring up another side. That’s how discourse works.

    But yeah, at the end of the day, my answer is ya, I won’t punish the innocent in order to punish the guilty as a general rule. It may not be utilitarian, but that’s what my gut says is moral. And that’s the best I can go on.

    Reminds me of the moral dilemma in the movie Unthinkable.
