You could buy a whole stack of papers for $1!

He found friendship!

I can’t argue with that. I find anger and hatred exhausting.

Everybody is different though. If it motivates you I have no business judging.

And how productive has that hate been for you? Has your hate fixed anything?

I was molested as a teen. If you walked up to me and asked me “do you hate that guy” I’d be very confused. I’d say that’s very meaningless question.

You think he cares if I hate him or not? I don’t waste my time hating bad people. It doesn’t solve the problem. Use your energy more wisely.

Something I say a lot “I never solved a problem by being pissed off.”

Just my opinion on tho. You do you.

I don’t like that palm trees aren’t trees. They are a wood like herb. It sucks but that’s what they are. I’m sorry this falls into the definition of the words as described in the dictionary.

They do tho. It’s the word for it.

You twisted ops post to make your point. I’m only pointing out this post is fine and good. That’s the plot.

It’s good advice to call people out if they are talking like the post describes.

The mafia is also “the little guy” btw most gangs as well. The form thru oppression of opportunities.

Little doesn’t mean good

That’s the word. The word “human” is being applied to the little guy and the rich as well. Why? Because it’s the word for it.

My examples were terroristic threats but if you need a 1/1 comparison I go back to the one I used in my other comment “it would be a shame if he had an accident “ everyone knows what the mob boss means. He’s encouraging his henchmen to do violence so he can extort someone.

Same with saying all the stuff Kirk would say, or yes some little guys can be terroristic.

In fact I’ve got some very startling news for you… most terrorist are individual nobodies. They are always the little guy. Isis is awful but they aren’t the “big” guy by anyone’s definition. Little doesn’t mean innocent.

But again my main argument is “sorry that’s what the word means. Sorry if it makes you double plus sad.

As a person who’s a fan of words I completely disagree.

Using fear as a means of coercion is terrorism by definition.

That’s just how words work.

If you’d like to change how we prosecute different forms of terrorism that’s definitely a talk we should have but the word itself isn’t the issue.

The mob boss who says “it’d be a shame if something happened to your shop” is terrorizing the shop owner.

So is someone threatening to chain themself to a tree but to an obviously less horrific extent.

The words aren’t the problem and attempting to eliminate words is also a tool of fascism.

We need specific terms to describe specific things. This words describes vague threats that we all understand but give some deniability.

It’s the old mafia movie trope

“Be a shame if an accident should befall him”

“Understood boss “

And much like that vague mafia way of speaking… no one is confused about the meaning. The boss can say “hey! I didn’t say kill him!”

Yeah you did. You don’t say the exact words but the meaning was perfectly clear to you and everyone else who hears it.

The post says “recognize it” not “ban it “

Is your argument here “stop noticing it people!!! That’s what the bad guys want!!! Just ignore the problem!!!”

Because that’s a pretty sketchy argument.

Can you shorten that explanation

Much like the US government you forgot about the veterans we also don’t take care of. We have a long and storied tradition of sending people to go fuck themselves

Do you mind explaining? I checked out of politics because of a mental breakdown. I’m sure you all understand. Who’s Kirk?

If the person is in a relationship tho they can go fuck thenselves

I’d probably still blink as normal but yeah the name wouldn’t strike me as odd

Damn. Reading this too late to help my horny boy. He gets mocked relentlessly at school for his horns and the name I gave him. I named him Tiny-penis. Which in retrospect I can see how young boys might mock that name.

Might’ve been a golf ball

I’d argue if you taught someone history and never mentioned the Bible you’ve left out an important chunk of history.

Besides it’s about as whimsical and fantastical as all history of that time period was.

I thought of making a YouTube series where I summarize the whole bible like that lol book by book.

I also regularly summarize history to my kids like that. You should hear my Texas independence story lol
