Yeah honestly I thought he was like actually normal and a half-decent poster for the longest time but then I started to notice a lot of his posts are just...bad.

he spews a lot of the typical no-compassion right-winger stuff but disguises it with a very thin layer of mediocre rhetoric and talking points. he very much seems like the type of guy that's obsessed with being "logical" and hates all ideology but fails (or, more likely, refuses) to recognize the flaws in his own logic, or his own ideology

there are lots of ways to help save a struggling city:
-give homes to the homeless
-implement strict regulations to prevent landlords from being shitheads, and severe penalties for those who don't follow them
-completely destroy the police system and build a new one that's actually based on serving and protecting the general population, rather than just wealthy people and their property
-public vegetable gardens (or greenhouses; the latter is probably better in most climates)
-make transit free (preemptively saying that I mean free at the point of entry here; that is, no direct costs to the people taking transit. funded entirely through taxes)
-in addition to encouraging transit use, discourage car use (reduce space allocation for parking lots, implement road tolls, etc)
-prohibit elected officials from owning vehicles while in office (force them to walk/bike/take transit, force them to interact with their constituents on a daily basis)

as much as I think Rogan is a dumb fuck, he represents and speaks to a lot of Americans who are disinterested in politics. This whole fight against him by the left wing media to "cancel" Sanders over the endorsment is just gonna push more people to Trump.

Liberals are fucking stupid. They legit never learn.

while I agree with everything else in this post, it is not correct to call CNN "left wing"

for what it's worth, I don't think CNN is significantly better than Joe Rogan, if at all.

I'm also pretty sure that, if he had endorsed the establishment dems' favoured candidate, CNN would have spun it into a positive thing

regardless of what anyone thinks of Joe Rogan, an endorsement from him is a pretty major boon to Bernie Sanders' campaign.

Don't spend money on corporations if you don't want to support billionaires.
Just buy no-name brands from your Mom and Pop stores and farmer markets.
And if you can't find the stuff you're looking for that's otherwise available from corporations, then I guess you'll have to just make it yourself.

Also, quit your job if you hate how you get paid so little while your bosses make more. Start your own and you'll see the hardships (or not, depending on what business you start)

the problem is one at the systemic level. your solutions, being actions at the individual level, cannot fix it.

The workers are able to get other jobs - their household depends on the job. That said, the execs put their own property and capital into their businesses and are responsible for keeping those who work for them employed.

An exec who loses a business puts many more people out of business, hurts the overall economy, and is further in debt than the average worker who loses their job.

none of this (except the "further in debt" part, which I'm also not convinced is true) negates my point that the workers are, in fact, at more risk than the higher-ups

---

MaverickXeo posted...

Owning a building or materials in itself is costly. If the business goes under, people lose their jobs, however, the owners lose the business, their assets, etc.

the workers typically depend on their job for their survival. the owners do not

The job of higher execs is to ensure their employees maintain their jobs, which in turn generates revenue, which in turn justifies the survival of the business. They are FAR more important than the average worker. It's less about what you are worth and more about what you will risk.

if that were true, workers would still be making more; they are in a far riskier position than any of the higher ups.

if workers lose their job, for any reason, they might not be able to eat. they might become homeless. that risk is not even close to being on the table for the execs.

You get paid based on the value you bring to the company.

Why is that a concept some people have such a hard time understanding?

because it isn't true

the people that do the actual work (i.e. provide the actual value for the company) get paid very little, while the people who do nothing make much, much more, just because they own the building (or the materials, or whatever the case may be)

my contention is that people in power all along the way were pushing for compromise to enact legislation, not to do nothing

there is currently a significant number of elected or potentially elected officials with the political mindset of not pushing for the actual needed change in the first place because they think it would be too radical and unpalatable to the right. so they push for the compromised version, which is still seen as too radical by the right, because of course it is. and then they end up compromising even further.

there are also people who hope to get elected on a platform that primarily consists of compromise.

Balrog0 posted...

I dunno, this sounds nice but its a pretty shallow understanding of how all of those movements worked. School desegregation started through court battles more than a decade prior to the passage of the civil rights act, and the civil rights act itself was amended down from its original form to exclude discrimination in things like loans and housing, which is why we have the fair housing act the next decade

to this day we still don't have any actual enforcement of those discrimination laws; to me it looks very gradual

so imagine how long those changes would take without people actively fighting for them

imagine how long they would take with people in power actively trying to push a compromise for no reason

That 10 percent number per people is probably higher than the 40 percent that police families experience.

of course 10 percent of the general population is a larger number than 40 of cops. but that doesn't matter in this context

while its not an excuse, does society expect any different? Its a job where youre exposed NON(you) cops doing violent shit every day. This week alone, I had one guy bleed it out from being shot. Responded to gang members shooting each other at a shopping center. Multiple suicide attempts. Responded to over 15 domestic violence calls on Monday alone.

so a job where people are exposed to regular people doing violent and fucked up shit daily. And youre surprised these people are fucked up in the head

then maybe they should consider... not doing that

This was actually pretty informative, I appreciate the detailed breakdown.

We're constantly evolving our understanding of biology, physics, chemistry, etc and often have to throw out and rework models, but it's a shame that some people will grip onto the old models until they die

I forgot to include this stuff last night because I was tired, but here's some further reading for those who are interested:

this is a solid explanation of the embryology of sex organs and how that relates to a sex spectrum and intersex people:
https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2011/01/phalloclitoris-anatomy-and-ideology.html

this piece references some of the more common human-based scientific papers people use to discuss these issues. it's also just generally a good read:
https://www.nature.com/news/sex-redefined-1.16943

this one is about how differences between "male" and "female" brains are not actually so clear-cut:
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/11/brains-men-and-women-aren-t-really-different-study-finds

this article has a ton of good links to primary sources, and it does a good job talking about how the spectrum extends past the obvious points.
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/stop-using-phony-science-to-justify-transphobia/

there's also a bunch of heavy-duty science papers for those interested:

how is that belittling trans people? I am just following your logic.
for example.
group a
subcategory I
subcategory II

both subcategories are from group a.
It could have been anything. I wasnt sneak dissing anyone in the spectrum with my words.

the better analogy would be like
ginger cats and black cats

trans women are frequently painted as predators. using tabby cats (which are just house cats with some specific features; they can literally be any breed) and mountain lions perpetuates that stereotype

Actually, I'm a little curious about this too.

We've got hormone replacement therapy. Physical surgeries. Gene editing quickly progressing. The transition process is becoming more and more thorough, so where do you draw the line for someone being "biologically" male or female, preferably without using the words "born as a ____"

sex is a lot more complicated than "penis or vagina", and I'm 95% sure that he's just ignoring that because he wants to have a reason to discriminate against trans people.

but factually, if you graphed the sexual characteristics of everyone on earth, you'd get something that looked kinda like this:

probably most people would be at or near one of the two peaks:
-one penis, two testes, a prostate, visible facial hair, body produces specific amounts of certain specific hormones, etc.
-a vagina, a uterus, two ovaries, two developed breasts, body produces different specific amounts of specific hormones, etc.

and deviation from that would put you somewhere farther from one of the two peaks.

for a long time, scientists basically treated it as though only the two peaks existed, because 2 is an easy number to use for data. and it worked reasonably well, most of the time, for most people. but more recently, they've realized that such a model is not actually very effective for predicting results anymore. there are XY people that have given birth. there are XX people that have a penis and ovaries.

these are often written off as "abnormalities", and there are definitely some of these cases that have medical issues. but many don't. a few years back there was a pregnant woman who went to test her baby's chromosomes and found that a large part of her body had XY chromosomes.

stem cells from a fetus can also cross through the placenta into the mother's body, which is a whole other thing in and of itself.

now, you seem pretty legitimately inquisitive about this. but I've interacted with Solid Snake07 before, and I'm pretty confident that he doesn't actually have an answer for you

---

Solid Snake07 posted...

That would make sense if anything I said was wrong. A man who transitions to a woman is not a biological female and a woman who transitions to a man isnt a biological male. You can play buzzword semantics all you want to but it is what it is.

how are you defining "biological female" and "biological male" here? "biological" is extremely imprecise. what specific physical or chemical characteristics are you deeming necessary in order for a person to be considered a "biological" male or female? chromosomes? gametes? hormones? secondary traits?

for the record: most people I know in real life care about the distinction between "cis" and "biological" -- not only is the latter vague, but its only use in this context is to delegitimize trans people

also: you spelled "echo" wrong
