I just picked up the civ5 bundle for 90% off about a month ago. It is a 13 year old game, but it's still a great game.

If the knowledge was only dad's preferences in women, sure, mostly harmless. The damaging part of this would be the villianification sexual desire. You're telling someone that a normal part of having a body is wrong and you should feel shame for it. You're also thrusting the responsibility for the parent's impulses onto a minor.

I'm also not naive enough to believe that they had any serious, healthy discussions about sexual urges beforehand. This is the right, its just indoctrinating them onto the shame and guilt spiral as soon as possible.

And two weeks ago, you would have called the 71 year old man in this story an "average republican". You would have told his tenants to be patient with him and try to understand his fears, not lump him in with "the outliers".

And that's the problem with your viewpoint, everyone on the other side is "average" until they aren't, and then its too late. Quick making it comfortable for them to be average-ly bigoted and hateful. Quit putting the work on the left, when we aren't the ones oppressing and killing people. Start blaming the right for what they support and work towards.

And since you clearly have nothing to say that's worth listening to, I'm just going to go ahead and block you.

Then go talk to them, quit demanding that the left to be more patient and forgiving to people who actually want to kill them.

You may not identify as a centrist, but you're pushing their views. If your don't want to be one, it sounds like it's time for some self reflection.

I don't see them as "others" because they have different beliefs. I see them as "others" because they have willingly allowed propaganda to radicalized them into believing we don't deserve the same rights as as them, which gives them an excuse to see us as less than human. When they don't believe we deserve rights and are less than human, this happens.

Stop putting the blame on the people defending themselves and their rights and place it on the aggressors. But clearly the enlighted centrist knows better...

I have had to assure my dad a few times that Portland is, in fact, still there.

I love your name

Id rather you just stop talking altogether

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Yeah. That's how that works

Why are you getting so defensive? You need to not make this so personal for yourself

You weren't being downvoted for having a different opinion. You we're being downvoted for being an asshole.

 

Is there anyway we could get a border on the thumbnail for videos in compact viewing? It's got the little globe icon in the lower right corner, but that only shows up on light colored thumbnails. An option to change the color of it would work just as well. I just keep opening YouTube videos that I think are images and then the video shrinks when you hit back instead of closing, while I panic and try to find the little x that actually closes it
