  The difference is having a car on your land is your problem. Having dangerous chemicals that leech into the ground and water is a problem for everyone around you and the generations down the line.

  They don’t want to be like the US

  This is you rn. She wants to keep up with her friends, not participate in your ideology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people care so much that their friend or family member’s partner is attractive and not just loving?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re getting a lot of answers from chronic singles on this thread.

  The answer is: It depends on where you are in life and what you needs as a person.

  Generally you value different things in a partner as you grow older. A loving, caring, responsible person may be less appealing if you don’t live with them and share no responsibilities and instead are looking for fun and trouble, so you can prioritize other things you like.

  As you grow older, you expect different things and reorganize your priorities. You might be more concerned about someone’s personality if you want then to raise your child, than if you want them to get you Molly and fuck.

  They have an opinion on losing money, they’re afraid they might end up being sued.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fax machine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean sure. It’s also okay to want a partner that cares about your experience during intimate, vulnerable acts instead of a guy who sees you as just a useful hole

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What you’re seeing is western privilege and ignorance. What people aren’t realizing is that “civilized” has often meant “western-white culture”.

  Native American weren uncivilized, they were not-white and not-western, and so on.

  Yes, caling another culture “uncivilized” is offensive and racist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump unveils plans for 'Golden Dome' missile shield for US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see what you’re saying, but it’s pretty naive to assume that a) there isnt a defense mechanism already in place and that b) other players wouldn’t so exactly the same if given the chance.

  My guess is the only reason. China and Russia aren’t doing the same is because they already have and it would be silly to come out clean while Trump tries to provoke WW3 so he can get cheao hotels on nuclear glass plains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An EXTREMELY Simple Guide to Mastodon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the honesty!

  It used to blow my mind that the “omg how can the vote for Trump are they blind fanatics!n!?” would be the same “Omg how do you not see how easy this is!!?” people, but now I realize it’s just people being loyal to their team, whatever it is.

  I think that about you.

  Imagine the zombie rights guests on a Joe Rogan podcast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on the person and life situation.

  Some people have better self control than others.

  If you have a chill and safe life it’s much easier to use for fun rather than compulsively.

  So this has nothing to do with reality, you just don’t like the they don’t share your opinions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft shuts down email account of International Criminal Court chief prosecutor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. But nobody gets fired for hiring Microsoft. (until now, I guess? XD) It’s really as simple as that.

  It’s worse than that. The guy is suggesting to replace the Nazis with Nazis-lite lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Could Be the Most Effective Tool for Dismantling Democracy Ever Invented⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s guns. The most effective way to diamantle democracy is violence.

  AI is not stopping anyone from revolting. Guns and the military are.

  Whar a stupid fucking take.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is draining water from areas that need it most⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s companies, companies and their capitalist owners doing it. The hammer doesn’t make the table.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is nobody mad about TGI Fridays taking the lords name in vain?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You need more context to answer questions like that tbh. No Christian denomination is like another, so definitely some would find it distasteful to use God’s name outside Church, but most people aren’t like that lol. Most people just speak the same way you and everyone else does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is nobody mad about TGI Fridays taking the lords name in vain?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it in vain? Don’t most people unironnically mean they are happy it’s Friday?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Federal Reserve likely to defy Trump, keep rates unchanged this week⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He could. Inflation is bad for everyone, except for the rich who have most of their money in assets and can swiftly move between currencies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. They aren’t lying, they are completing the objective. Like machines… Because that’s what they are, they don’t “talk” or “think”. They do what you tell them to do.
