Il douche?

The shit going on around the world is revealing the zionist areas of influence in real time. I’m not capable of pulling together the meaning of it all. Perhaps that could be one of the useful aspects of AI.

Hadn’t heard that connection. Thanks.

No argument, just making sure none of them are overlooked. I loath Clinton and will celebrate the day he croaks.

Don’t discredit GW’s contribution to the shithole that is now the U.S.

Do you mean caused the defeat and put curious George in the whitehouse? That shite family was the worst for your country and helped get you where you are today.

A traitor disguised as a savior coming to the aid of the downtrodden to ensure they stay in their place.

Great reference, thanks.

Don’t stay away from controversial posts. Everything needs to be in the open, as long as respectful. I’m hoping that Lemmy stays open and avoids bans but I’ve seen some so I worry. Anyway, be glad you got kicked off Reddit. It’s really not great for free thought.

Actually just a quick follow up. The reason for my original question was to find out how people feel about trying to “fix” something that may be a factor in their lives. I obviously wouldn’t frame it as a fix, but people aren’t so stupid as to believe that. Ultimately being LGBTQ+ is difficult in today’s world but that is the worlds problem, not theirs. Would they welcome a reduction in the ranks or even an increase? I’m sure all aspects of this argument would be covered in responses.

I was using microplastics as an example of something that may influence whether someone is gay or not, only to introduce the argument of what could be done to “fix” it. I agree with bodily autonomy but in this case that was given up decades ago without anyone’s knowledge. This is the case for every modern convenience introduced over the years, so I don’t agree with this being an issue because all our “freedoms” are an illusion. Society has been treated as guinea pigs in the name of progress because nothing can wait. Someone asked me about my belief in eugenics a while back and I went to look up the definition to be sure how to respond. It specifically mentioned breeding, which I don’t agree with as it is a completely inaccurate way to address the fine tuning I’m referring to in the genetic alteration space. I think, as with all social change, it is a factor of time. For this advance to be done properly would likely take hundreds of years to implement, experiment with and educate the populous on. My point being that I would prefer it be an autonomous decision. We don’t have hundreds of years so none of this will ever happen to the extent that we can benefit from it. It’s interesting that you mention viruses and inflicting change on other people. It is core to my thoughts on how to have handled the pandemic. If we chose not to make any response mandatory, how would we handle the responsibility of someone for infecting others? I am a firm believer that freedoms have to come with consequences.

Those costs are insignificant when compared to the costs of having no labour or tourism.

Don’t care what Reddit, TikTok or X (and probably others) have to say about anything.

Much better take, thanks.

It says a lot about how bad the current situation is that this “crown prince” is being sought. It’s important to remember how this drive is being projected. Who would benefit from his return, etc. I still support the people of Iran, no matter what bs is floating around.

If you need any religious figure to help guide your moral compass then you should question your own worth.

I like this kind of “use it or loose it” approach to IP. It talks about cost to the IP owners but if private servers are sourced to support continuity, then the cost to them is far less. Of course they will loose their revenue stream but if they were going to shut it down anyway then it is more about protecting the user base, which I fully support.

Curse that movie all to hell! Every time I say I’m not sure about something I immediately think of it. Love it!

In the US it takes all of two minutes to become well armed. Now well trained is another matter.
