To anybody who went over to Bluesky after I encouraged them to do so - I am so very sorry. I had no idea that the staff there was like that.

To those who've been warning against going there, you were right and I was wrong. Totally wrong.

@MAGAattheLAKES @AnnCoulter "Having something, as in? Monetary?"

You know full well what an ellipsis is, and you could see the tweet right below the one you replied to.



That was a bad faith reply on your part, a deliberate quotation out of content. Where is your integrity?
@MAGAattheLAKES @AnnCoulter "Eg. My dad, as an admirer of Thomas Jefferson, was never going to be comfortable with the treatment of Dalits in India, or proud of the country that treated them that way."

@JewsFightBack Wow. These days, when I see a thing like that I have to wonder if it's a deepfake, but if not, what a bizarre thing for him to have said. Surely an assassination is more than adequate retaliation for another assassination? Why kill ten million innocent people?

That's insane.
@JewsFightBack That having been said ... he's not in the Oval Office, and those rash words of his didn't get anybody killed. We've all said intemperate things in moments of passion, so if your point is "he said this, so he needs to be over," I'm not going to support that, and neither should you
@JewsFightBack I've had the true meaning of "an eye for an eye" explained to me, before. It means "NO MORE than an eye for an eye;" in other words, the punishment must fit the crime. Which sounds quite reasonable and moral, a good thing for the rest of us to support, too.

@MAGAattheLAKES @AnnCoulter You're making a mountain out of a molehill. People will always call the places they're from "home."

To my mom, "home" is somewhere in Kerala. To me, it's Naperville, Illinois. This isn't a matter of my being more loyal to America than her, merely one of my having something ...
@MAGAattheLAKES @AnnCoulter ... that she never can: childhood memories of America. The children of immigrants feel at home in a way that their parents would like to, but can't. The immigrants accept this discomfort, not out of greed, but to give their children a chance at a better life.
@MAGAattheLAKES @AnnCoulter Also, because they will often like what their new country stands for, whether they're comfortable or not.

Eg. My dad, as an admirer of Thomas Jefferson, was never going to be comfortable with the treatment of Dalits in India, or proud of the country that treated them that way.

@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?
@PuffyBuffy007 @Alighieri1345 @akabeth10 @Rightanglenews Grok speaks:

"where @sighing_sadly accuses @PuffyBuffy007 of misrepresenting her stance on election fairness amid sarcastic CalExit proposals."

No, Grok, not sarcasm. Why go on preserving a union that seems destined to turn on itself? Who benefits from that?

@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."
