Characters in novels do have agendas though.

Most people wouldn't even be arguing in the first place face to face. But for real though, I am a million times more articulate and clear in my thoughts after arguing with strangers here. It's a good stress test to refine your world view. This forum does a great job in filtering all the low quality stuff and keeping it organic so that conversation on this fourm are as close you can get to an informed real life discussion. But what's the chance that you will find such great minds in real life and also have their time and also not piss them off ? Atleast for now, you can refine your thought process if you are using it well.

But things will get better. They are imagining it in their mind that their life is shit and it becomes a self fulfilling prophesy. The idea that things will keep getting worse is an emotional decision, one that even the most intelligent people fall prey to. But that doesn't make it rational. That woman had a great life that many millions of people dream of having. She doesn't value it enough and her "psychiatrist" is too ignorant to treat her well. You think you are helping it, but you are legitimising taking life since you are depressed. Do you know how many people across the world are going to take their life due to depression, when they realize that depression is a legitimate reason to take their life. That's all what this is doing. Listen, I am a great proponent of euthanasia for people who are actually suffering. But this is not actual suffering. This is self inflicted suffering. Which a lot of people do and is not a legitimate reason to take your life.

Sex is a classification among organisms the came through evolution as a means to reproduce. Gender is the sex that pertains to an organisms of interest. Instead of calling " a male human" we call it "man". Man is the gender that pertains to the males of Homo sapiens. Women is the female of homo sapiens. Sex = { (male, female) } Gender = { (Man, Woman), (Cow , Bull), (stud, bitch), .......etc so on...... } Bitch is the female of dog species. Stud is what you call the male of dog species. Not that complicated. ------------- The pertinent question is, are dudes supposed to look a certain way? If a dude looks like a woman, that is a dude that looks like a woman. Still it's a dude. If a dude wears a skirt, that's a dude wearing a skirt. I don't understand the logical leap to "transwoman". If a dude wearing a skirt is supposed to be a woman, then you are making the flawed assumption that woman are supposed to look a certain way. Then you have to define a woman. It all boils down to: What is a woman? And by extension: What is a transwoman? This is the fundamental question that needs the answer. Don't give circular answers like "whoever identifies as a woman is a woman". The question is what is that person identifying as. Since the person is definitely identifying as something. What is the object of identification?

😂

Euthanasia for the sake of depression is crapshit. What a waste of life.

That doesn't invalidate the claim that NATO expansion was the reason for the invasion. Sure there could be irrelevant reason like "denazifying Ukraine" like Putin said. But countries don't go to war for the sake of denazifying. You need one good direct reason for wars. The rest is fluff. You don't even need 20 reasons for launching a full scale war.

What's so complicated about it? That gender and sex is the same? And that they are social constructions?

Taxes don't directly fund anything directly, but it does so in an indirect sense if you have a powerful autonomous Sovereign economy that can print it's own currency. The exact explanation is rather complicated which is why politicians gloss over this point.

@BlueOak Let's not pretend like I didn't prove with all the relevant sources to you that Nato encroachment was indeed the reason for the invasion. With a little more digging I now have even more sources to confirm the same. There is no point in discussion if you can't agree to this simple fact. It's so dead obvious.

True. After Russia, Ukraine army is the best due to combat experience at the moment. But they are losing. Because they were using cold war era tactics on the field. They learned to not repeat those dumb mistakes. They current panel of officers are the best at the job anywhere in the world. Invading malnourished shitholes in the middleast and bombing civilians and teenagers do not qualify as relevant combat experience. They were doing it then and they are doing it now. Even then they got a solid beating from the Taliban. All those "wars" ended up making them stronger. They failed at those wars. Russia is different. America has no experience up against a formidable enemy. They cowardly went after small guy and still managed to get smoked. Unlike Russia who is winning the war in Ukraine. Check the status. Not even that but their current military isn't even motivated like the Russians or the Chinese. Lmao. Whatever the NATO is doing, jist blame it on BRICS. NATO pushed, ignored the negotiations, Russia reacted. Except that Russia is the one pushing back, against NATO expansion. Every nation is entitled to security. There is no 100 ways. There is only one way: NATO expansion. We already cleared this part earlier. NATO expansion is the reason why Putin Invaded Russia. NATO was a security threat. https://youtu.be/kfdR3zA8KME?si=OZUORsSomMqz8QSC Lmao this is projection 101. You are blaming whatever the America is doing on Russia so that no one will blame it on you. Just think about this. Will you be comfortable if your neighbour hoards a bunch of 2000 pound bombs in his house? The problem is you discount Russia's security threat. NATO is the security threat of Russia. Plain and simple. Lmao as if it's going to change anything. NATO will crumble from the inside if this happens.

Whenever someone says that gender is a social construction, I immediately ask them if sex is a social construction. Then they answer that sex is biological and therefore it's real, unlike gender. Therein lies the problem. It's sneaky manipulation happening here. People who say that gender is a social construction doesn't understand gender or social constructions. Gender and sex is one and the same, however you look at it.

That's one indoctrination that I approve of.

Jews won't even allow Palestinians to build a freking airport. So Palestine couldn't do it even if they wanted. Israel would block it.

I wouldn't want to be brainwashed by gender ideology or any ideology for that matter, especially when I am that young. Academia has become a cease pool of bullshit ideologies each fighting to indoctrinate their new base. I don't even know if I would send my kids to academia. The problem with "exploring yourself" is that you don't have enough experience or action to know yourself when you are that young. You need more data, so it's a good idea to wait till you are older to make such decisions. You need to put yourself out there and see how you work with different situations to truly find yourself. You cannot "find yourself" while being locked in a room. You need more data about yourself first.

Numbers don't mean shit when you don't have experience. Russia is the only country in the world that has experience. That will make all the difference. And don't think that Russia will be alone in a fight. No singe country in the west would sustain a war with Russia on its own, except for maybe the US. EU doesn't have a capable military on its own independent of the US. That's why Russia would pummel them in case of war.

Did the united states collect an extra 2T in taxes before going to Iraq and Afghanistan Invasion? Ask yourself how they funded the war. Where did the money come from?

Hey you are a human? Bro that's cringe.

@Psychonaut Have you tried Llama? It's getting so good nowadays.

Do we have any preventive solutions to this, or any solution at all. Superbugs and super viruses that have evolved to be immune to everything we have developed with high fatality rates are a huge threat. What a dystopian future we are headed to.

Intense but controlled suffering is ideal. Extremely high suffering for short periods of time will not be so detrimental to your well being. At the same time little suffering over a long period of time can be detrimental to your well being. There is a lot of nuance in the nature of suffering.

What do you mean? I love 🇮🇱

Yep. They are accurate upto 10 meters built in with the technology to fool the iron dome radar algorithms. And these weapons are their worst ones in their cabin. Israel wouldn't be able to handle their most advanced weapons which they have a lot. Anyone with two braincells can see the western narrative is crumbling fast. Their hypocrisy is laid out bare naked for the world to see. I don't think the common people in the west are that dumb. They are seeing the game here, which is hard to ignore, even for the Americans. Israel defensive policy is escalatory in nature. Anyone who is the slightest threat to us should be levelled and we will escalate it to the max. Of course we would need help from the US and NATO to defend ourselves against a sanctioned regime. Just imagine if Russia joins Iran for some good times. And it was brilliantly executed.

Glorifying rouge acts will result in even more rogue acts. If we as a society condemns them as cowards instead of heros, then there will be less of these rouge acts. The trick is to reduce their number.
