The men in the comments are jealous of the man in the video

You mean it’s good for outdoor temps only Americans care about. Here in the rest of the world, we have very different weather to you people, so we need a wider scale.

Average is one number, not a range. Do you mean standard deviation?

Demand theory of value

I remember Neytiri because of the joke in Harley Quinn

What about in places rats are invasive?

Those are ghost days, that’s why they’re translucent. We’ll all be dead then

The good version of this is in Transformers One.

I’ve seen that video. He sexually harassed his students, faced professional consequences, and blamed it on Woke.

Unc is AAVE for a beloved elder role model. Making fun of people for being old is for white kids

You’re right that transphobes are misinformed, but what I’m opposed to is not knowledge itself. Rather, it’s the conviction that objective answers exist and can be known. Transphobes believe they have the answers to the objective nature of gender. There are no such answers. Nobody can say for certain whether another’s gender is valid, because gender is just an idea. It is the transphobes’ realism that motivates them to uphold the gender binary.

Also, Pope Urban II called for the crusades to distract Europe from internal strife among the church. Nobody should have the power to tell an entire continent what Deus wills. They believed him because they thought religion has objective answers, and that those answers come from the Pope. Again, people’s conviction that anyone can be objectively correct is what caused the problem. If Christianity were antirealist, there could be no pope and no crusades.

Truly, the belief in an objective reality is history’s greatest problem.

I worry that the belief in and pursuit of objective reality has negative social ramifications. For example, transphobia is usually motivated by a belief in objective sex. We also see racism from belief in objective race, and religious genocides such as the Crusades and the colonisation of Latin America from belief in objective religion. While we have made significant strides in all these areas recently, people have not extended the same empathy to otherkin and plural systems, still convinced of objective species and objective personhood. I fear that an antirealist approach is the only way to ensure people seek continuous progress on these issues.

Given these limitations, our goal should not be closer and closer adherence to some unknowable objective reality, but instead more and more useful models in terms of their effect on the happiness of ourselves and others.

Hahaha, that guy looks VERY cishet

Yeah, I’m used to the one where he complains about the Hulk because of his boring realism

That’s to keep you from having to scroll past several pages of comment explaining the whole issue all over again in the thread. It’s more convenient for you to just click a link if you doubt the claim, and then you can see the argument I would have otherwise typed in the thread. It’s easier for Me as well.

When arguing with tankies on the fediverse, I often wish they would take the same approach, instead of either writing a 4 page comment, or citing the entire works of Marx. It allows the reader to choose which arguments to further engage with, and saves time for everyone. Here on MULTIVERSE, we require arguments not to be optimised to exhaust the reader, as we think that kind of behaviour constitutes a form of attentional violence.

Understood. In that case, I will be removing your account from our instance for violating the APA’s inclusive language guidelines concerning person-first language, which I assume you are familiar with. I will not see your reply.

Hey just FYI that word is an ableist slur that entered the popular lexicon through self-help scams after two thousand years of being used to villify queer people, and it doesn’t apply to Trump.

Would.
