This is literally just wrong dude

No lol your second statement is literally just wrong. The only way to do anything like this would be through an Amendment, which equated to literally changing the rules bc the current rules do not allow for it.

What are you trying to say?

Holy fuck the mental gymnastics on display are Olympic-level, you should try out for the team sometime.

I didn’t know about that as I’ve never played Bloodborne, but even that seems kinda not a big deal.

What are you even talking about, like actually, I’m genuinely asking

Tbh I have over 250 hours in elden ring and I didn’t even know what you’re talking about.

I wasn’t commenting on that, just that the new york post means nothing. Regardless, I frankly don’t give a shit what the police say; they’re not exactly known for telling the truth.

Just fyi, the new york post is as dogshit as fox news. If you’re looking to get actual information, you’re better off looking elsewhere.

Not sure about here but yeah they definitely execute a lot of people for being gay: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/02/yemen-will-publicly-stone-crucify-10-gay-men-in-gruesome-public-spectacles/

I have 0 sympathy for barbaric ideas like executing people for being queer. I cannot imagine they ever act in any measure of good faith, regardless of the scenario.

What city is this? I apologize if that’s not something you want to share.

Source?

Edit: genuinely asking, I can’t find anything saying that.

Ehhhh, I think 1080p is definitely serviceable, it’s even good enough for most things. However, I think 1440p and 4k are both a pretty noticeable improvement for stuff like gaming. I can’t go back to 1080p after using my 3440x1440 monitor.

In the 70’s US, most people were entirely unaware of the subject. Violence against trans people absolutely occurred, and it was absolutely horrific, but the problems mostly stemmed from true ignorance. It was not like today where over 500 anti-trans bills were introduced this year to systematically harm, erase, and even hunt people for not identifying with what they were assigned at birth. With multiple organizations like the HRC declaring a state of emergency for trans people, yes, things today are undoubtedly more hostile than they have been in the past.

Talk to older people

How about you do that? I do quite frequently, in fact. From the events I’ve created or attended to celebrate trans identities, older trans people have exclusively expressed to me their fears for the growing hatred, and how it is unlike anything they have seen before. There are far more people that are accepting today than ever, yes, but there are also far more people who have so much extreme bigotry that they commit violence against trans people.

Believe it or not, you can do more stuff than just vote. However, you can do nothing about problems that you’re unaware of, even if they’re problems that affect you directly.

If only that were true. I can’t speak for the world as a whole, but things are pretty bad in the US. As a whole, LGBTQ+, especially trans folks, are at the highest risk of being victimized in the last 50 years. Just a few months ago, about 15 miles away from where I live, a trans kid was lured by right wing extremists and murdered. They used Grindr to catfish him in a planned, coordinated action. They are on trial for it right now.

I used that example to iterate how problems do exist in our personal communities. Anecdotes are not proof of larger societal trends, but the societal trends show it is a societal problem, too.

Yes, the number in the article I linked is not large by itself, but it is important to remember they are nearly all people who were fully out and were not afraid to tell people it. Most trans people are either somewhat or entirely closeted for safety.

“it’s not real if you just ignore it”

Or even

“They’re just lying to you about it for views”

I’m sorry to inform you, but the world is going through very rough times politically, especially the US. Many things are exaggerated, or even entirely fabricated, for views, but many things are not. Some of the worst stuff, however, is stuff that is never even covered by the news, like Project 2025 or the stuff happening in the Midwest/southeast states. Putting your head in the sand helps no one, even yourself.

The first page is pretty much all you need for the context of the conversation. Basically, according to the paper, Black people in the US are significantly more likely to be exonerated of any crime, but especially murder. This inversely means they’re significantly more likely to be found guilty of a crime they did not commit.

The reasoning, I assume, for the person to link you that article is because of your statement about crime rates. I believe the other commenter is trying to say that crime rates are not actually equal once you normalize for poverty because of the high rate of false convictions.

Tbh, I’m not really sure what else to say about that. I just wanted to comment my thoughts on your question since I saw how rude the person you commented to was.

Infinite growth is fine when the thing growing isn’t real, like money. Money is not a resource we find in reality, it’s purely a human-made representation of value. It’s only when it spreads to real resources does infinite growth become a problem.

I’m not making the claim myself, just explaining it is a bit different than engaging in what we colloquially understand to be conspiratorial thinking. I would argue it falls under that category in the most broad, objective sense, but I would also argue that the common belief about conspiratorial thinking is that it is when someone believes demonstrably false information.

The difference is that most conspiratorial thinking is believing something despite overwhelming evidence of the contrary while this situation is believing something despite a lack of conclusive, objective evidence (that being no official statement from Musk or investigation into him about this). There is a lack of overwhelming evidence in support of Musk.
