I am in shock how many people are taking these comments seriously lol

Settle the fuck down. You don’t get to dictate how language evolves, and I understood them perfectly.

I mean, it could just be that people don’t like you and that’s why they’re downvoting you. You do come off a bit rude.

This isn’t going to “push” people to do anything. They always were going to vote for Le Pen. They just blame the protesters for it because they want them to shut up so they can be shitty and not have anyone make them feel bad about it.

I think this one gets paid to be argumentative or something. Just block em.

“When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune,” Sotomayor wrote.

It even says so in the dissent.

There is - a cat 2 is good drinking weather. :-P

Well it’s wayyyy earlier in the year than we would normally see one this strong. I think that’s what’s different.

Thankfully they’re super easy to spot and block.

We could only wish

The person who filed this suit is the type of person that we should all agree is deserving of being bludgeoned to death and thrown in a dumpster.

I may be being too kind to him though.

People like this make me wish there actually was a Hell, because he’d most assuredly be there and tortured for eternity if there was.

Yes , I am. The US right is so batshit that I’ve never found one I could even consider voting for. And most democrats in the US are to the right of my beliefs.

But I am pretty cenrterist in my policy beliefs.

I’m not trying to be an asshole.

Maybe you’ll believe from a sistah

This is manufactured outrage

Mhmm. Not trying to be an asshole indeed.

To the commenter below - No, you didn’t have to explain to this asshole anything. They know what they are doing and saying. Considering how easy it is to block people in lemmy, I’m taking advantage of that right now by blocking them.

Additionally, I played this last night in local multiplayer, so can confirm it works

They’ll be all, “well, just do it. How hard could it be?”

Though sometimes that’s exactly what I need someone to tell me. To the point that I do this with some of my other ADHD friends. “Do it right now. I’ll wait.”

I agree with what you are saying here, I’m just not sure that was the previous posters point.

It may have been, but it reads to me like they are just saying “nuh uh” to the person above them.

What makes you think people are “forcing” them to do this?

You’ve now made it absolutely clear that you are just yet another anti-trans bigot who is pretending to want a conversation, but instead is just trying to weasel your abhorrent views into the public discourse.

You have failed, and everyone here sees through your bullshit.

You are what is wrong with discourse, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Side note to anyone else reading this: it’s SUPER easy to block people like this on lemmy and there really aren’t as many of these chodes as you’d think - I generally only have to block one or so a month and it makes things a whole lot less contentious once you realize you can just block people who are arguing that their hatred is somehow acceptable.

Blockers are still a change. Inhibiting your sexuality at that age drives a bigger rift between you and your peers. More so than feeling a bit different.

What’s your source for this?

Also, I’m not sure I would describe someone going through this process as “feeling a bit different”.

The great thing about blockers is that you can stop them if they aren’t right for you.

To your point about state laws against trans rights there is a LOT to unpack there but I was very clear about my stance of protect and support but do not intervene (in development.)

Am I reading this correct that you seem to think that your “don’t let anyone take puberty blockers” stance is somehow protecting and supporting? And preventing others that from being able to do so is “not intervening”?
