My pet pony keeps shitting on the floor.

I am very frustrated and did not expect it.

I should sell it off and buy a horse instead.

Hate.

Hard core hate.

Hard core hate for anyone religious.

I am sure individuals who have this hate in them, and there are circles where strong disrespect for anyone religious is tolerated, but this? No. And "many" circles?

I'm sorry but I do not believe the premise for the question to be real.

Not respective to most common ads, but boy howdy am I easy to sell stuff to if advertised in "my way".

E.g. "this jacket is used by famous cool man" less effective, while "this nail gun can fire nails at precise speeds" fuck yes give me one I'll figure out why I need it later.

Perfect description. For bonus points add doubt to every step:

Should I wash the pot more before using it to fill water, or is it enough to rinse it?

There is stuff in the sink. Will it cause me to spray water when filling the pot over it? What if I hold the pot too low and get tomato sauce on it. I'll have to clean it. Where is the dish rag in case I need it?

Should I rinse the filter first? I heard it recommended.

Should the coffee put in the filter be flattened? Or is it okay in a little mound like it always is.

How cold will I have to wait for the grounds to be before I take the filter out, and is there space in the garbage? What if it leaks again and I get a small coffee puddle in the drawer under the bin bag that is so hard to clean.

It looks like a garbage trail littered with corpses. https://allthatsinteresting.com/mount-everest-bodies

Same. And it was more a "how did they manage" than a "would they", because of course they would.

No?

What?

I still want racist shits being jailed for hurting people, tho', and there is no conflict in that.

Ok I read through it and this my best effort to rate it as you requested:

You explain your fears well.

The post is a worst-case outcome with all the dials turned to maximum, and a few more added for good measure. All catastrophic assumptions are made, while no mitigating or positive assumptions are made.

In your post "may" becomes "will" without any sources to back up the likelyhood, which I will point to as why you are not getting strong reception.

And by sources I means "this has happened here". Not appeals to imagination.

You seem excited about a dystopia that you believe is imminent and have not shown that you understand why or what.

Yet you want other people to echo your excitement.

When handwaving doesn't bring people aboard and they start a discussion, it upsets you instead of leading you to analyze your position.

Do better.

You should be able to do better than shifting to insults when your point is reasonably challenged.

It's like cryptobros responding "enjoy being poor loser" when asking how their tech was intended to work.

Please summarize for me since I missed it, then. What does the video say to counter my statement that a person making public threats in public forum is old illegal not new illegal.

This case? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c703e03w243o

Inciting violence has been illegal in most countries for ages. Publicly doing that anywhere - Facebook or otherwise - is both illegal and actionable.

There is no exciting surveillance conspiracy around someone breaking the law in a public forum.

If Wikipedia had balls

If this is your reaction to a thoughful response, you are not going to find deep discussions anywhere, even where they exist.

The Fallacy of the Beard

Get your opponent to concede a point by burdening them with defining a strict threshold. Break their claim into smaller and smaller components and keep zooming in until you are looking at such tiny things that their original claims seem overblown.

This man has a beard! Does he? Yes clearly! 20mm hair on chin!

Would he have a beard I mean an actual beard if it was 5mm? No that's just stubble! Where does it become a beard, at 10mm? I guess!

So a man with 9mm hair has stubble? Yes! And he grows one measly millimeter of chin hair in on one of the hairs and BAM WHOA he has a beard now?

Edit: Not calling your question out as disingenuous, but trying to prevent it being abused.

It's not about consistency. It's about "I want therefore it is my divine right and other people aren't valid"

In my country, we have that I think.

Several banks and gorernment functions are only accessible via internet, so it the state's rsponsibility to assure every resident has internet access.

Not amazing internet access, or even "good", but access.

Some places you have to bus to the nearest library during opening hours to use one of the freely accessible terminals, but it's free and available. You can also apply to have the bus ticket refunded if you're really struggling.

Ah, the Schreiberknapfdrückenkopfknallern maneuver

I think he deleted the "business idea goes here" placeholder instead of filling it in.
