He wanted to get caught.

Ok so if intelligence reports claim there’s a risk of a coordinated attack from foreign countries that have nuclear weapons, what do you think the US should do to defend itself?

Oddly specific

There’s a special place in hell for you

Israel and the US share a lot of Intel and military technologies.

I’m not saying that the US shouldn’t ditch Israel - they should, but they need to undo a few ties first. People here expect it done in a few weeks and that won’t happen.

That too

I’m pro-Palestine, I think what Israel is doing in Gaza is definitely a genocide, but seriously, what do you think would happen from a geopolitical standpoint if Biden said “yeah, I think the ICC is right, please stop this genocide Bibi”? The US can’t afford to lose Israel as an ally so it needs to be subtle.

Can’t say this enough. The only way to have some kind of power as a worker is to unionize.

Maybe it would be a good thing for the digital world to be free from the concept of ownership.

I also find it sad that the same Security Council didn’t condemn the Oct. 7 raid. In all these diplomatic games, it appears civilians don’t weight much, Palestinians or Israelis.

For edibles to kick in you have to say the magic formula, which is: “This shit don’t work”.

I agree with you that it’s a personal choice. I was replying to someone who seemed to imply that it wasn’t, and was suggesting that someone who eats meat can just stop doing it. I think that, for some people or some cultures, transitioning to a vegan diet isn’t that easy.

I’ve heard about that, but I feel a majority of meat eaters are quite tolerant with veganism and don’t see it a a threat to their masculinity. And I think I can say this threat isn’t even relevant in the case of women meat eaters. About the study you linked: it doesn’t really try to take an objective standpoint on the matter since its entire premise is the necessity to convince meat eaters to change their eating habits. Also is says itself (end of section 5) that the link between eating meat and masculinity wasn’t specifically targeted by the study. The authors do mention though that the link between masculinity and meat eating can be attributed to perceptions created by industry marketing. But in this article (as well as in my own personal experience) this link seems at best anecdotal.

How is it relevant to the question I’m asking?

It was an honest question, and you didn’t answer it.

Yeah but what about my cat? What about animals in the wild? How can we stop them from eating meat?

Meat eating is tightly connected to manliness.

That’s an interesting proposition. You have a source for that, or a theory of your own? Please share.

I didn’t block you from making the joke. That’s censorship.

I know, and that’s why I didn’t say it was actually censorship. Just really close.

So by that logic, we shouldn’t make any political jokes anymore? This is getting awfully close to censorship.
