That’s what people do all the time and why the meaning of labels change over time.

Instead of immediately jumping to conclusions when you hear of a label, the proper reaction should be to just ask for more information and get to know the person more.

That’s the difference between using labels as a tool, or as a discriminator.

Well, you should see how it is with birds

"How is your bird, is he fine?

- Yeah, he just suddenly laid an egg so we need to check his calcium intake

- Ah, so it’s a she? Did she make more than one egg? Is she healthy?"

And if you keep on saying a non-specific “he”, you get the “you’ll need to get used to saying ‘she’ now”

The only reason people switch pronouns easily with animals is when it conforms the idea of “sex at birth = gender”, if your dog has male genitalia, and you tell people “yeah I know but it’s still a she”, people are going to look at you weird and ignore what you said. They’re just unable to see past that.

Tldr: people are stupid boomers

Can you stop reposting and reposting the same question?

Don’t take their comment as an attack. It actually doesn’t seem like a bad idea

But everything is fine

Wait wait wait.

You are listening to people that you classify yourself of “red pill alpha guys” and you wonder why they’re saying shit?

So either you think that one can be that kind of guy, and not be a total garbage worthless piece of shit, which would mean that you’re part of them, or you have no idea what it means.

Maybe that’s the initial and core problem of your question.

No, I’d be mad he’s such a piece of shit and I would tell him to go die.

Being a billionaire is worse than being a murderer.

Yes, but the slippery slope is also a fallacy.

Caution is better than panic.

Why are so many dumdums encouraging this?

Other than the obviousness of the fact that there’s not any good reason to try, weed is known to cause a lot of issues for young people. Even medical cannabis is generally not recommended unless you’re pretty old, because the risks are not worth the effects.

If you’re feeling the need to consume weed and alcohol that young, what you need is therapy, not to get high.

Assuming that you are not going to be cheating, you can have a deck of cards where you mark the back with a random number. You let the other player know which cards are marked with each number (ideally in a way that won’t let you memorize them).

Then you just handle the cards. You shuffle, you pick the cards, and when you pick for the other player, you do not look at the cards, just at the numbers, that you communicate to them.

This way, they know which cards they have without you knowing them, and you have a simple system.

Obviously it’s very easy for you to cheat, but if it’s just friendly play there’s no reason for you to do so, and therefore for your friend to believe so.

I was thinking more about diseases in general, whether infectious, psychological, etc.

Cancer is only the biggest thing because it can hit anyone, including rich people.

Not because it’s actually what is the biggest threat.

I don’t know why you’re using the past tense, the church is still defending them.

Yeah and the catholics are the most moral and good people around.

Who the fuck sees Catholicism as a proof of success?

Or, you know.

Humans are a bunch of savage monkeys, and it’s up to them to make up rules that enforce what is best for everyone, and morals do that. And if you sacrifice morals to follow an illusion of success, then that’s a problem and I’m going to call you on it.

I don’t believe in the idea that “if most people want shit then let them have it”.

Kids want to eat kilos of candies, yet you don’t let them eat it and die. Well it’s the same with humans. If a majority is having shit values or morals, then you need to educate them, not let them be. The idea of letting things be is what led to things like the nazis, where no one wanted to oppose them until half of their country was invaded.

And understanding things without experiencing is called empathy, and it’s a trainable skill. Which also needs to be enforced upon people. It’s crazy to me that prehistoric humans were having more empathy than current humans, even though we now have thousands of years of philosophy behind us.

All in all, we need to stop being so complacent about others being shitty, and start enforcing rules and safeguard that force people to be held to a certain moral standard. That’s how we’ll evolve.

The fact that people like batman is a problem.

If you think that everyone should do what works without any concern about what is right, that’s your issue.

I love the fact that the only details you gave about your story are money, skin color, country of origin.

Maybe the problem is that if your character is only defined by their skin color and wealth, it’s not a very good character. You should be able to have a better description of someone than just talking about their skin color and bank account.

So it feels a bit shallow, from whatever small information you gave, which might be what your friend picked on.

It’s not a tool, it’s a chaos generator.

Don’t let people who build houses do it with cardboard boxes instead of bricks, even if it looks like a house in the end.

I mean, there’s various kinds of lawyers, and some kinds are definitely evil.

Doesn’t help that those are the ones who become rich, popular and famous.

You can call it a stretch because he wasn’t directly talking about colonies, but for me it’s no secret that he loves the concept of colonies. The guy wants to be an emperor, thinks France is superior to everything, and considers other countries as inferior and deserving to be controlled.

Also, yes he did call it a crime against humanity, but also clearly said that there would be no apologies, going as far as talking about the “happy stories” of colonization.

“While visiting Algeria during this year’s presidential election, he called the French colonisation of Algeria a crime against humanity but added that there had been “some great things and some happy stories” in that period of history.”

Macron is a fake bitch, that’s how he got elected in the first place, but once thing is certain: he doesn’t think badly of colonization.
