I believe I saw you standing up for us in some of those threads, so thank you.

I really do like wigglehard but I think... that was the opposite of what should have happened. I am not saying it would have changed the outcome necessarily, but I would have kissed ass to avoid this.

It's almost like actors as a bunch are not representative of the masculinized roles they play lol

Agreed - like the Sopranos guy.

LOL I am OK with some of this, of course... But... I do think it is legitimately tragic when they kill themselves. We are all made in the image of God... and I think that the humor of the thing... is a persuasive way to try to save people from it.

It's a really bad situation for these people, IMO.

What is so silly about this is suggesting that these guys are for sale, IMO...

SCOTUS Justices are ideologues, bro, lol.

I’m not a christian at all. Grew up going to church until 16 and noped out of there as soon as my parents let me make my own decision. Not sure what the obsession with other people sinning is? Let them make their own mistakes if that’s what you see them as.

This would be a combination of things, though, right... Some people talk generally about sin, and others take it personal and thus view it as Chrisitan imposition on their way of life.

At other times, Christians are making observations about the direction of society, and again, it is interpreted as a judgment of specific individuals.

I think what we see mostly, though, is people self-conscious about how they are failing the standards that their parents and other people they respect put on them, and instead they reverse it: No, the problem isn't my substance abuse/fornication, it's the fact that it bothers you.

Thanks for the information - what was it?

I remember I saw these ridiculous posts on EH where someone would b writing "I am a neonazi skinhead racist and I hate black people' etc. as the subject line... Were these things actually filtering over to sh.it and affecting people's perception?

lol, was @wigglehard's trolling a factor in this, basically?

Not making eye contact is not an issue if it’s consistent between characteristics that aren’t wrong to have different feelings about, such as treating family different than strangers. It is an issue when, again, it’s based on characteristics such as race.

You brought up another issue here - we would have people who are shy and generally uncomfortable around strangers that would have it assumed that their racism is causing them to act in a specific way, creating problems.

We could pretend that these issues don’t exist and not work to correct them. That would be an option, where some people would be treated poorly for no reason. We could also (like this case) work to solve these issues and some people will be treated worse for a reason. Both have some issues, but at least the latter is trying to improve outcomes. Sure, it might make things worse for certain people (in particular, people who deserve worse outcomes because they don’t tolerate others, so should not be tolerated), but the end goal is better at least.

Which would be the best thing to do: to actively oppose racism in our personal lives and to support laws that treat everybody equally, but also to not try to [socially] police microaggressions.

The act of policing microaggressions does more harm than good, IMO.

This is the sort of thing people talked about in the 90s and before the mid-2000s because it was some real issue and people had no idea that the marketplace was going to making it so that I would have to actively make choices to avoid having the internet in my pocket at all times for an affordable price.

This is also the case for kids, which has created a world of social ills.

But they still harp about concepts like universal internet access as a front for policies that benefit their cronies.

Lol great to see another JLP viewer.

Have you forgiven all your enemies?

Do you want to forgive all your enemies?

The sad thing about this is that it might not be super effective if the law enforcement agencies drag their feet - and they are paid a lot in the form of opportunities to drag dem feet.
