you only need couples therapy if that stage doesnt work
You have non-troll mode?
Not because the society I live in is so perfect (hardly), but because those other theoretical models involve sacrificing elements I'd rather not, and given a choice between those elements and that theoretical model, I'd rather put up with the bullshit of this society than not have those things.
You're both oviparous in my books.
Pretty excited.
dont be a jellyfish
Yeah I keep it in the same place you keep your compassion.
Red is my least favorite of all colors.
Cherry is my favorite of all flavors.
How jacked is that?
but it's pretty funny
Bet the family dynamics are interesting there.
Sweet!
Cherry is a shade of Red so Red is not your least favorite color. A SHADE of red is your least favorite color.
How about a World of Blowjobs?
I'm not even sure I need to offer a description.
Yeah I've noticed, it's why I generally avoid talking to you about anything of substance because it becomes basically impossible for me to know at what point you'll give up being genuine in your argument and just saying "fuck it!" and saying stupid things to outrage.
Especially when you'll do it in response to something some other people are saying but not what I said, but nonetheless you start trollin' err'one
It's not a fantastic trait, brah. It makes it so I just find you unable to have conversations with that aren't idle chit-chat, because inevitably you'll turn into Dr. Hyde and I won't notice till I'm six posts deep arguing with you.
Wooooooo, pizza!
Man, you are way too ambiguous.
Put it in hex. I demand precision!
with that in mind, it behooves me to point out that
misses out the obvious counterpoint that legal change does not arise ex nihilo
Wait, wait, wait ... you're saying you like Eton Blue more than red?
What's this "Papa Johns" thing?
I just looked that up.
New rule: You can't call your color "blue" if it has more green than blue.
Sure, but there will be some delay as i figure out the quickest way to put phone pictures from my phone onto the forums. I wonder if imageshack has an app...
If I could take a bath in pizza slices like that noodle lady from Patch Adams, I'd do it.
sure, and activism and social awareness can (and generally does) beget legal change.
but there are ways in which this are done, and ways in which they are not done.
there's a lot of difference between the Million Man March and most gay pride parades, for example
Outrage isn't outreach.
Activity isn't activism.
Parties aren't protests.
yeah it works
Just non-stop rape when they get home.
hahahahahahhahahahahahahahhaa
For kitty pictures I will wait however long it takes.
As someone who grew up in a very Asian part of America, it really weirded me the fuck out to learn about the stereotypes people hold about Asian people (women especially).
Another chain pizza place that has delicious pizza (but no stuffed crust
Also, they switched their coke products for pepsi, which is a travesty.
What are you, the Green Police?
I think the key word here is when I'm being dogpiled on. The fact of the matter is, even with the silly goose rule in effect, people get nasty quickly. If they don't agree with you, it's immediately "Goal posting" and "disingenuous" and they, whoever that is at the time, are doing everything they can do to call you an idiot without calling you an idiot. Soooo, why bother? At that point there's no real debate ANYWAY. We could be arguing about spam and within 3 posts it's going to be no-true-Scotsman and sidelong insults about your intelligence and experience in the world.
To be perfectly honest, the truth is that I'm really sensitive to people's image of me, which is my own problem.
The thing with me is that I'm certain of very little, and unlike many people here there is very little that I have a solid enough foundation on to possibly be passionate about it. Even things that I am really passionate about, like science, are things I have to admit I might be very wrong about. I'm way more likely to get really excited about an argument than I am to get angry about it. I try to approach most arguments from the angle of things I think I know. So implicit in most of the things I argue is "it's very possible this is wrong". I try not to moralize anything, and I try to divorce the things I feel really strongly about from any sort of logical argument (like, I really hate relationship infidelity, but I acknowledge this isn't for any rational reason).
So, it's kind of the case that anything I argue about isn't something I fully support, in the sense that most arguments I go into don't start with me believing I'm definitely right. This is problematic because it's very natural for people to look at your argument and then infer things about you as a person, which is logical for a position that someone holds with conviction. In my case, though, it ends up making me feel like I have to double down on something I'm not even sure of, and that my arguments have to reflect on me as a person. Maybe it's folly to think I can disinterestedly argue with someone about something that they happen to be really passionate about.
Anyway, I get super frustrated when people infer things about me from the side of a debate that I take, because I don't feel like the side I take in a debate usually reflects who I actually am. More often than not, I could turn around and argue for the other side.
Ugh. At least Pepsi Max tastes exactly like Coke Zero. But yeah, no Nestea = sacriledge.
