In a report published Tuesday, the group found “anti-trans violence is often compounded by broader structural barriers,” and outlined suggested policy changes on a wider range of issues, including housing, workplace practices, and health care access.

Just look at that word salad of lefty buzzwords and meaningless phrases. It borders on parody.

Also (re) reading Strength of the Few currently. Been on a James Islington kick ever since I swore off ever reading Sanderson again.

Don't mind me, I'm just a regular monogamous guy who doesn't have to worry about my skin disintegrating. Really makes life simpler.

I’m sure Ukraine wants to do a lot of stuff. Reality is they aren’t even close to winning, even with the Russian command as inept as it is.

Also I’d be wary of the accounts you read of the Russian military/society in western media. Russia has been on the verge of economic collapse for three and a half years now according to them and they’re still trucking along.

They also whine more than women.

You're welcome to return to reddit.

We all are since most 401k plans will have exposure to it whether you like it or not.

You type like a third grader.

Just a later stage, really.

I don't really see the big deal. "Moms and mother figures" isn't something worth getting our panties in a bunch about.

The video posted dispels this claim you're making. The gold he introduced to the economy had minimal impact on gold prices and was within the normal fluctuations.

Damn, it really is every single time.

I completely agree. I’m not going to feed him. But someone will keep doing it.

Why, though? What good is twenty redditor comments derailing every thread?

Wow, I didn't even realize that was him until I read your comment.

I fuck women

X doubt

What's with this influx of pseudo-intellectual midwit concern trolls lately?

They aren't going to build anything. This is all kabuki theater to keep investors pumping money into this scam.

This type of pompous, self-aggrandizing stupidity is actually quite common and widespread

It certainly is in this thread, in which you've typed out various walls of text focusing on semantics and technicalities that serve no purpose other than to stroke your own ego and waste time.

Some people are dumb (you may include me in this category if you wish). That doesn't deprive them of personhood.

Also, you're moving away from the debate. You've brought the question of legality into it, making the depressingly common attempt to take "legal" and "good"/"moral" together, when the two have zero bearing on one another

Replace 'legal' with 'moral' then. Same principle applies. You're focusing on technicalities like a redditor.

And self-awareness is an intersting metric to consider, but even that paltry standard disqualifies huge swathes of people across the globe from personhood, let alone my preferred standard of self-actualization. Think about the average "doctor, lawyer, engineer" who dindu nuffin, or the average pajeet, or the average "refugees welcome" leftist. Many of them would, I think, at least be able to look in a mirror and identify the self and how the self differs from the not-self, but how many have a proper internal monologue, or the ability to imagine and rotate the apple, or even to comprehend the idea of second order effects, let alone predict them?

Again, this whole distinction of human vs. person exists entirely in your head based on what appears to be some arbitrary IQ threshold you've invented.

The offense you're taking to this is silly. I do like to get an idea of who I'm speaking to and the ideological position they're coming from, yes. I didn't bother reading any of your pseudo-intellectual redditor comments because there are enough of them in this thread to give me a good idea where you're coming from.

Though I will chastise you on trying to creep on my post history. I don't know how or when that behavior became normalized, but it's absurd that people do that. Our older conversations were between ourselves and whomever we were speaking with at the time, and not something for random lookie-loos to ogle at at arbitrary points in the future, devoid of context and ontological involvement in the discourse.

All I did was click on your name, bud. Not that invasive.

but the actual spark of personhood is maybe 1/5th of the way to being ignited at the time a baby is born.

Says who? By that logic it should be legal to kill a toddler up to the point they become self-aware (I'm guessing that's the arbitrary metric you're using to denote 'personhood').

You're making this distinction between a 'human' and a 'person' that is entirely in your own head.

I get that modern internet discourse makes strange bedfellows but you've commented a grand total of five times in the last three years, including the two comments in this thread. I suppose it makes us wonder why you chose this topic and this take specifically.

Five years ago I'd say that's retarded but these days who knows. Might be something to it.
