@PuffyBuffy007 @Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews When did I say or event hint at saying that, Buffy Puffy?
You don't get to stick words in my mouth.
@PuffyBuffy007 @Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews Are we going to have a real, grown up conversation, or am I going to just see a series of emotional explosions out of you, in which you try to put me on the defensive by responding to what you've chosen to believe that I said, as opposed to what I actually did say?
@Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews "Whatever. I can't help the fact that you're highly unrealistic."
You say, as you whimper about the fact that your attempt to be manipulative failed to produce the results you wanted.
@Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews "I don't want my wife going to any gym here from this garbage."
Interesting, the way you frame that. Not that you respect her right to not go, or are supportive of her decision, but that this the decision that you'd make for her.
You don't seem to respect boundaries.
@Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews "If you want to punish franchises for having businesses in other states, and following those laws, do it."
That's straw manning on your part, and a bad faith response. I did not suggest anything that broad, and you know it. Shame on you for pretending otherwise.
@Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews Well, john, if we're talking about what I'm doing with my body, my perspective is the one that matters. Whether I'd continue going to a gym is not something that I owe a dialog over, to just any "opinionated husband and father" who wants one.
@Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews Moving out of California sounds like a fine idea. I'm certainly looking forward to getting out of Illinois.
But when you prioritize some guy's business over some woman's right to privacy, we've got a problem.
@Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews If I were your wife, and I were reading what you wrote, I'd be feeling really nervous, because what I'd be hearing is "sure, Sweety, of course I'll be your protector, as long as being that doesn't get in the way of any guy making as much profit as possible, anywhere."
@nunuvusrfree @Rightanglenews How about building two places where Trans people be as freakish as they want, one for "biologically male transfolk" and another for "biologically female transfolk," having them be hundreds of miles apart, so they won't be producing children?
Then exile the translunatics to them?
@nunuvusrfree @Rightanglenews Build walls around these places with gates opening inward. The transloons can run their own farms, have their own businesses, trade with whoever is brave enough to in there, and lead reasonably full lives in places where they'll be the norm.
They just can't ever leave.
@nunuvusrfree @Rightanglenews Internal exile in a pair of penal colonies. Give them a one-way sort of access to the Internet and to Media, letting them watch the outside world, but limiting the reach of their voices outside of it, so that their ability to harass the rest of us will be at an end.
in response to a tweet in which PepeSee17 called me a bundle of sticks, I was instantly locked out of my X'itter account, my tweet was reach limited, and I was put into an infinite loop by Twitter / X.
@m0f069 @BtcBlackthorne @VintageRockN_85 Just about everything, which is why it won't be allowed to happen.
Not a reference to a hope of Divine intervention. It's a statement that the other shoe would drop, really hard, if anybody tried to make that happen, and that collateral damage would considered a minor issue.
@m0f069 @BtcBlackthorne @VintageRockN_85 In the face of a more than global existential threat, all moral bets are off. Such a threat would exist in this case, because programming a working conscience into a piece of software is a theoretical impossibility. Any near term "superhuman AI" would functionally be a psychopath
@m0f069 @BtcBlackthorne @VintageRockN_85 A psychopath that could outthink is at every turn.
I get the motivation for comments like those posted by Blackthorne. People of modest to low intellect love the idea of being able to have Einstein-level or better intellects ghostwriting their work for them.
