Moving goalposts again? you've already used that twice, le sigh

"vast majority" and "majority" aren't the same, i specifically called out the vast part...but you do you.

yes, finally an lgbt dig i was losing hope at this point but i get it now, you were keeping it in reserve, i can't wait to see what you do with the immigrants, perhaps even we can hope for some drag queen action?..wait no, don't tell me, i want it to be a surprise.

a bit weak after that though

provable unlikelihood presented as fact x2 , then lie that is easily provable and contradicts your own stance ( and still fundamentally misunderstands the difference between regular and voting population )

You did get the slogan in though so some extra points for that, weird capitalisation, but close enough.

hmm, a tough call this one.....i'll give it a 6/10, a couple new bingo entries but repetition and self contradiction are fairly weak.

IIRC there was a film as well, i don't remember how much of the story was covered though.

I also can't vouch for quality.

Do note that religion only ever seems to be a problem when it’s conservative or authoritarian, a pattern that holds for many things outside of religion as well.

That's disingenuous at best.

Religion is a problem when it used to push principles on to other people ( specifically when those principles are harmful and unwelcome ), conservative and authoritarian principles happen to lend themselves to this kind of behaviour quite readily which is why you see criticism aimed at those types of religions.

and with startling consistency.

Perhaps it might be worth looking in to why this consistency exists.

God-given? That's your go to?

Fuck the authorities because god says I can do what I like?

Also where is it you think the smokers section comes from?

I'm not saying what they are doing isn't bullshit, it very much is, but "who are they to tell me to do this new thing, I can continue to do this other thing they told me I can do, because I don't have to listen to them" is some Olympian level mental gymnastics

/r/onetruegod would like to know if you have some time to discuss ..well...the aforementioned one true god

Choosing not to engage can also be a positive rather than just the prevention of negatives.

It's not considered bad , but it is a distraction, there's supposed to be no communication between attendees.

It's supposed to be full introspection, afaict.

Don't know if its the same in all places but men and women were completely separate in the one I went to.

Even if you went with your wife you'd not really be there with her, you'd be two people in the same place at the same time, not communicating.

It's not really a relaxing holiday kind of place.

In this one instance they are actually losing their money, maybe, nearly a decade after the fact. Up until now he's been living it relatively large.

I'd also put money on him still having a significantly higher amount of money to throw around, even assuming he loses the string of appeals and other legal bullshit he's undoubtedly going to pull for probably the next decade.

For me specifically, the setup and config oftentimes is what I'm doing with the computer, the learning and knowledge gained from the practice is what I'm after, which is good because it's significantly less fun than it used to be.

Admittedly mine is probably a non-standard case and it ties in with other things in my life.

Condolences on your loss.

Depends on how you define 'cost' I suppose, but seems like the trade off isn't worth it for you, which is fair.

Some might value the perceived benefits much higher than you do.

What if the life I'm imagining I'm protecting is one where I have the option of choosing a platform/application that isn't scraping the absolute dregs of the barrel to squeeze out that last bit of profit margin.

That's a win win right?

"It's not libre / free as in freedom so it's wrong".

I think it's more "It's not libre / free as in freedom so it's not open source, don't pretend it is".

The "wrong" part would be derived from claiming its something that it isn't to gain some advantage. I'm this case community contributions.

There's not a handwaving distinction between open source and not, there are pretty clear guidelines.
