I used to list things rounded up a bit just for that. If I list something for $500 then I likely would take $400 for it. But when someone walks up to my house loads the thing in their truck and then knocks on my door and tries to force a $20 into my hand to buy the thing… Yeah fuck that.

No that is what you are missing, there is a bunch of people who do nothing but gaslight to get things for next to nothing then resell later.
For example I sold a car last year for $1500, I could have maybe got more but eh that was fine. I know what the market price is more or less but I when I listed it I got about 50 offers under $100, keep in mind I could scrap it for $300.
This is a scam that has come up from online listing, these people put bullshit offers in across many many listings and some even try to threaten and trick.

Ha!!! The issue is that people are not willing to pay the price that matches demand. You could list it for 20% of the going rate and still have people offer you pennies. This negging method has become a side hussle.
The last 3 things I sold online all got sold in a day for roughly what I asked for, but for every good offer there are at least 10 of these scams. Its why I now use a local auction to dump unused stuff, I don’t need the threats and bullshit.

The solution to this mess is not simple, but it will not be to hide things that may offend people, to stick heads into sand or control speech.
The very idea that someone needs to follow a “non-offensive” guide in political commentary is very much a part of how the us is in the mess it is.

The NDP just won 2/3 of last weeks byelections here. We do have a loud minority voice of right wing crazy but if anything the province is moving away from the right.

- Comment on It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused unlawful government. 2 weeks ago:
All those military rifles are legal to own in most nations with gun ownership. It is a very relevant example. Or are you advocating now that this only counts if the firearms are side by side shotguns and hunting rifles?
You are very much moving goalposts here and trying to put words and arguments I did not make in my mouth. Its not complicated, your point was no firearms where used to resist a tyrannical government in modern times, a point so completely incorrect as to be laughable.

Personal firearms have basically never been used to resist government tyranny in the US or entire rest of the developed world in modern times.

Well in the states yes, since it is seen as some sort of right and not a privilege that requires basic safety training. The rest of the planet seems to be more sensible.

And dems demonizing gun ownership. Seems it worked out great for the right (er) wing.

What a hot take, as if firearm owners are all the same, as if there are not left leaning gun owners.
- Comment on 7-year-old Nastia came to Israel for cancer treatment. She and her family were killed by an Iranian missile 2 weeks ago:
Ok, so not at all boring. I have no idea why you think this fits here. It feels, dirty.
I get this is to get sympathy for an attack but in this case (unlike Ukraine) israel is not some victim of another nations aggression. I don’t think the fact that this family came to israel in Dec 2022 (just before the full russian invasion) helps the idea that these casualties are somehow worse. This is propaganda from a clearly pro israel news site, and I feel wrong that they are using the bodies of this family as such.

Stupid knock off cancer dust.
- Comment on Trump’s EPA to “reconsider” ban on cancer-causing asbestos 3 weeks ago:
I think my favourite part is that it was banned in the us in 1989 but then unbanned in 1991 after a fight in the court of appeals.
Oh and there are still some asbestos uses allowed (cement sheets, industrial diaphragms, etc.) but the us is not unique in this.

Looks like it. So cherry picking from both ends on this one.

Yeah that seems to check out, the whole study seems to have been an exercise of trying to prove their believed concept instead of testing it.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 3 weeks ago:
Oh no! You are going to make your platform work like ass? And you expect us to do mental gymnastics in such a way that instead of blaming you (you know the one that has control over the platform) we blame uBlock? The same uBlock that has made using your platform bearable for many years, to the point that I will sit in silence with the screen off instead of watch with ads?
I think even if you make us wait a min before playing the video most would take that over an ad.
