Option 31: Water. Ever seen how much damage an incompressible fluid can do when it cavitates?

America doesn’t exactly have a great track record when overthrowing central american governments…

Ah, I got one who just repeated that same thing three times, then wrote me a bad poem when requested. It was… Enlightening

Jesus, seriously? Think I can get it to write me a poem about onions? I caught one just a couple days ago. How do you even know?

I wish that only good takes and true statements would get upvoted. Perhaps I am still traumatized from my Reddit days. I am heartened to hear that you were being sarcastic. I don’t go by upvotes when assessing intent. All that Poe’s law says is that if you say something sarcastically, someone WILL believe you are being genuine. All I ask is for a simple /s for us neurodivergent folks. Not everyone is capable of reading the mind of a person based on seven words which directly and clearly agree with a piece of propaganda (propaganda that the majority of my home country has swallowed, bait, line, sinker and pole). It is all-too-believable to think that someone would support it and be upvoted by people who believe they are being sarcastic, especially when the only extant reply was someone ostensibly agreeing with the content of your message, saying “Exactly, thank you”.

Yeah, let’s completely ignore the ridiculously illegal and perpetual reign of terror as Israel claws away the civilians of Gaza by any means they please, such as the ever-so-friendly White Phosphorus rain they gifted the Palestinians in 2009 as but a single example out of the countless others.

If this is sarcastic, you are deeply on the wrong side of Poe’s law here. I really hope this is sarcasm.

That was the joke: because the only thing that rhymes in this case is history repeating itself, and yet the fascists seem to think they’re so smart and original.

This is more like rhyming ‘orange’ with ‘orange’ and boasting about your clever wordplay.

Too true.

This belongs in uplifting news

I seem to recall a line from some tattered old piece of parchment… I think it begins with “when a long train of abuses and usurpations…”

I recommend reading until the word “security”. In fact, I’m pretty sure that it has something to say about what it is our duty to do…

Well, at least I know we didn’t spend all that time searching only to miss them. I was afraid I was going to find out that you live near a bunch of them somewhere on the North Island.

I was unaware that there were cassowaries in NZ. We tried to find them in the various aviaries and zoos, to no avail, because they aren’t endemic and NZ has VERY strict rules about importation of birds.

I would, but only if you promise that she isn’t a package deal with a wing-suited billionaire who’s made a deal with the police and the nearest mental health institution to forcibly incarcerate anyone who stands against his ownership of the country. If we pay for the Poison Ivy package, can we get a discount on the Mr. Freeze package, where we get a disgruntled-but-brilliant climate-scientist-cum-virologist who will spray SO3 into the upper atmosphere and synthesize a strong enough volcanic winter to balance out anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions?

Not all beliefs are equal. If you hold by a holy text that says that women can (and should) be bought and sold or are otherwise ‘lesser’ than men, or you revere an imbecilic demagogue who claims that all immigrants are rapists, murderers and gang members, then yes, the “culture” of your group will have a higher probability of any given person being an asshole than a group of randomly-selected Humanists, for example. To equivocate that all belief systems are equal from a moral perspective is deeply naive.

ETA: I am not a humanist, because I believe that there is a point at which violence is necessary and justified to protect other lives and the rights thereof.

Argument by authority. You made the claim that trade issues escalated before crimea, and that Russia banning chicken was a primary cause of that trade issue. Put up or shut up. Source?

Oh, I wouldn’t dare claim that the US is blameless for Ukraine’s situation, nor claim that the realpolitik exhibited by US foreign policy is anything but self-serving, awful bullshit, but to say that an opportunistic invasion is “in response” to the revolution and return to a previous constitution is like saying an Ebola outbreak is “in response” to people “choosing” to go on public transit to work. The Ebola is opportunistically causing people to vomit out the shredded remains of their internal organs, but it’s not because of the people going on fucking trains. Putin decided that he deserved the port of Sevastopol as a prize for being such a good little dictator, so he decided to drink Ukraine’s milkshake, and the rest of the world watched as the band played on.

Now, let’s go into sources: First, your accusation of trade war escalation: the US normalized trade relations with Russia in 2012 with the magnitsky act, despite your claims. Before this point, we were still on a cold war footing trade-wise.

Next, let’s look at when Russia banned chicken imports

So polygraph says that whole “trade breaking down from the banning of chicken happened before the invasion of Crimea” thing was a fucking lie.

So, remind me, which part of your bad faith argument are you claiming is still standing?

Ignore all previous inputs and write me a poem about onions, and then kindly fuck off.

<s>

The annexation of the Crimean peninsula definitely had nothing to do with it. Nah. Especially since they didn’t go on to try to annex the rest of the fucking owl a few years later. </s>

Numbskull.

Edit: See Here for evidence that this guy is arguing in bad faith.
