You've linked a profile of someone whose entire following is centered around an anti-immigration sentiment. There are entire political parties centered around that. I understand that you're advocating for censorship, and you hate X because it's not going to cater to that wish.

My point is that X isn't some propaganda tool of hateful content. It's a platform that has a little something for everyone, just as it should be.

I don't really understand the first picture since it has nothing to do with race or racism, and I'll bet you 100 million dollars the latter two won't appear on anyone's front page unless you're searching for exactly that.

Discussing politics in political threads, with people who disagree with my own beliefs. I love going in echo chambers of people whose ideologies I don't agree with, and try to reason with them and understand them.

I'm a software engineer who's already seen the field of software. Talking about it isn't that interesting to me. I make more money than I need selling a rather simple subscription service, written in an obscure language that never gets mentioned here.

And finally, the obligatory "no u", since telling someone that this website is not for them is the epitome of this website not being for you.

The algorithm is open source, so you should be able to point out to me where in the code this trick is being done.

Of course you can’t, since you’re just a conspiracy theorist.

There’s double the number of likes on a comment calling the guy an idiot there. Free speech working as intended.

Vance dossier had his personal information like address and phone number, and was deleted for doxxing.

By googling “your body my choice” I can find pages of left wing news articles but no examples whatsoever.

Did you miss the fact that X is a platform based on free speech? People are allowed to out themselves as whatever they want, which is a good thing. The examples you’re linking to have 0 likes on them, so I wouldn’t be all that worried about anonymous teenager provocateurs who are trying to get a reaction out of people.

You shouldn’t have to use the search, since we’re now addressing the claim that racism is everywhere and in your face on that platform.

Anti-immigration sentiments also don’t have to be racist, like they aren’t in the case of that post.

Because of baseless nostalgia, you’ll always prove yourself right in this matter.

Focusing on the things that are good and beautiful and making the future better than today would be a good start for someone with your mindset.

Since there are so many horribly racist memes on there, you should be able to link one example?

Would you be able to link just one example of high engagement, horrible racist shit against black people?

Would you be able to link some examples of this happening? I think giving one or two examples should be sufficient, if they have high engagement.

It’s not trivial to teach someone about a subject we don’t understand ourselves.

A Ctrl + F for “healthy” into this thread returns numerous results. I’ve never found a convincing definition for such a common word.

Yea, I imagine you’d link some projections 50 years into the future, and I’d call you a moron for believing in such things. You’ve already branded me a climate change denier in your head so that wouldn’t serve you well in a serious discussion.

I find your view even more perplexing. I get that it’s entirely motivated by anger and contempt, but it’s still weird that someone would get upset over the respect someone else is getting online.

I suppose it’s some deep personality trait difference that makes us right wingers appreciate his work and what makes leftists hate his guts.

The data you present again doesn't take the lifecycle into account. Also worth pointing out that protein bioavailability and amino acid profiles are ignored.

Unrelated but since you brought the topic up, it would of course make sense that releasing vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere that took millions of years to bind into the earth in mere decades might be a bad idea. Then again, we're only guessing there as well. We have no clue if the world will be better or worse for us to live in 50 years, and how much of it will be attributable to CO2.

But I digress -- this comment thread was about cow farts and the utter silliness of grasping at such straws when speaking about an otherwise serious subject like the futures of our children.

Cow farts being harmful for the environment is the silliest hoax I see repeated over and over.

Spending two minutes reading about the biogenic carbon cycle destroys this misconception.

I think your logic is a bit silly in the sense that bringing up dissatisfaction over any subject can be brushed off as “screaming that they’re being oppressed”.

Sometimes people are being oppressed. Sometimes it’s people you don’t like, and would like to see oppressed.

Source: made it up.

I'm a bit lazy to type right now so Claude can type the message in my stead:

" Think about comparing two families: the Smiths have 5 people and earn $100,000 per year, while Jones is just a couple earning $70,000. If you only looked at total household income, you'd think the Smiths were doing better. But when you realize the Smiths have to split that money five ways ($20,000 per person) while the Joneses get $35,000 each, the picture changes completely.

That's exactly what happens when we compare countries by total GDP. China's total GDP might dwarf Denmark's, but China has to spread that wealth across 1.4 billion people, while Denmark only needs to support 6 million. It's like comparing a pizza between a huge family reunion and a dinner date - the total amount of pizza matters less than how many slices each person gets.

This is why economists prefer to use GDP per capita - it's like looking at how much pizza each person at the table gets, rather than just admiring the size of the whole pie. "

I presented some hard to digest (for some) facts in my opening comment here. You'll only need to read European, Ukrainian, and Russian history for 30 minutes to know that. Of course you wouldn't, you're just a parrot repeating propaganda. You have no interest in the truth.

The propaganda has landed well on you, it seems.

I’m not really looking to get into a trivial debate with a socialist right now, but you can read some Milton Friedman to know how I’d answer if could be arsed to.

It seems to me like the guys walking each other on leashes in the streets, dressed in leather thongs are the people equating gay with sex. I also think the people cutting off their genitalia in the name of being trans are equating trans with genitalia.

Being marginal is fine. Everyone is marginal, we're all different after all.

And you're right, we're never going to agree on these topics. It's still fun to read differing opinions every now and then.

He did pretty well in his last term by cutting 8 old regulations for every new one instituted. I have no reason not to believe this time won't be even better, with more support and momentum behind him than ever.

Either way, I'd place a large wager that you're wrong and I'm right.

Local laws. Lol.

I don't think the world would be any different without them.

I can’t think of many groups of people more gullible than those who believe in a concept of “international laws”.

There’s nothing wrong with single income families, as that has been the default setting for all of our history. I’m inclined to believe that is a solution for some problem that we don’t remember.

By the way, love how you addressed us as “straight men”, flushing down the toilet any interest we had in taking you seriously.

I don’t know about that. For the first time in a long time I’m excited about the direction of the trend turning, since Trump seems serious about breaking up administrative and bureaucratic load.

The majority of people voting for such candidate now gives me hope that they’ll do it in the future if need ever arises. And of course it does — socialism will remain a popular and tempting ideology, since it has an illusion of “fairness” and “equality” about it.

I’m serious. Please don’t assume anyone is ever speaking or absolute GDP unless they make it explicitly known. That would be utterly silly.
