Hispanics have a very high population of religious voters and many of them don’t believe in abortion. For many religious people, even if they disagree handily with everything else the Republican party does, they will not vote Democrat because of the abortion issue.

There was a pretty large research study and a bunch of podcasts on it.

Grabbed the podcast! More detail never hurts. Much appreciated.

usufruct

So… reading the Wikipedia article on it for more info, it doesn’t seem to place any limits on what you can own. It simply lets you makes allowances for others to use something of yours. It doesn’t seem to mention forfeiting unused property in the least.

It’s basically just being a landlord, but with other stuff, no? I’m not following how this isn’t corruptible unless there’s something I’m missing.

Me too. It’s faster than texting and gives you a whole lot of missing context.

I read up on it, but I’m not sure how that’s immune to greed. Are you able to explain?

No political system is perfect. Ever.

They require constant vigilance. They require battling. Human greed is capable of corrupting every system that a human mind can create.

Anyone that tells you they have a perfect political system that would never need fixing is a liar, an idiot, or both.

Have you ever smelled a beefy desiccated detached dick before? Cool. Now cover that in dog spit eight or nine times and let it dry in between.

It smells like that.

All good! Up until the twist I really did enjoy the movie. It’s well shot, it just kind of felt like a betrayal at the time.

I absolutely love horror movies and have a few lined up from the last thread to watch next. Hell House LLC, Lake Mungo, Longlegs, The Blackcoats Daughter, Color out of Space, Mandy, and the two most recent VHS movies are on the docket before the end of the month.

I have a furious fucking hate for this movie.

As someone who was routinely abused by religious family members who told me how evil I was, I went to the movie thinking I would see some kind of payback to these definitely evil characters.

Then the movie said “lol jk. The religious assholes were right because God said so.”

Link Between Worlds was awesome as well.

Well you gotta kick boots. What else you gonna do, kick sandals? That’s just insane.

For anyone looking, someone Archive.org’d the final Win x64 compiled version:

What was the final build? I have 1.1.1402 on my PC.

I don’t think that’s called an accent, that’s an affectation.

I legitimately appreciate that.

As an aside, it’s odd how much was purged from this thread. Not just deleted, but straight up purged so it doesn’t show in the modlogs. I don’t think I’ve seen that done on my instance outside of the illegal stuff. Is that normal here on .world?

Fair enough!

You are most certainly purposefully misunderstanding things at this stage.

Yes, I wasn’t arguing for (or against) veganism and never stated I was. I was arguing against reasons some may give and defending logical ones.

No, veganism isn’t a moral stance. It CAN BE a personal moral stance as well as a dietary one, but morality is not required and may not factor into it. It may be for YOU, but perhaps a person’s stomach just handles meat poorly in some fashion and therefore they choose not to partake. Don’t claim that everyone in a group must also ascribe to your moral stance. They do not.

And no, punishing murder is not a moral stance, it’s a self-preservationist stance. If you can go out and murder indiscriminately, then you yourself can be murdered just as easily.

I’m sorry you don’t understand logic. Please don’t attempt to explain to me one of my degrees when you clearly don’t have even a loose grasp on the concept. Here’s a free course you can take to better understand logic as opposed to a personal moral stance.

I also wasn’t arguing against their dietary choices. I was showing that their arguments could be turned back on themselves because they were spurious at best.

Before I replied, the now-deleted user was stating that there was no reason to eat meat unless you’re a psychopath and love murder and was threatening suicide, violence to others, and other such garbage throughout the thread, then followed it up with a stream of PMs to a bunch of users including myself with some… not great / illegal content (we’ll say).

My response was purely a “let’s look at your statements, but in good faith” exercise.

Put simply, they started attacking food choices first and I called them on it. I’m okay with what I said.

Fair warning: The account you’re arguing with is a troll account who bad-faith argues with everyone, as evidenced by their post history - they often simply have their posts deleted by mods. It’s best to block and move on.

As much as I hate echo chamber-ing, when it comes to trolls, it is occasionally required.

But I didn’t go into a vegan space, nor did I mention logical fallacies.

The thread they brought up was from a memes Community. The person I was posting against at the time was PMing people and telling them to kill themselves.
