It absolutely is not.

Says you. Don't judge me for how I spend my time, and I will leave you be as well.

I know that the death of Trump might not change anything. I don't know how society heals. Me wasting my time in unproductive discussion won't do it. You want to call what he's doing sanity, which is not what I would call it. Maybe at the end of this experiment (hope you don't mind the term) people will decide.

I do recall creating a thread for some topic or other months ago. In good faith, maybe one of us missed it? If someone posted just pure garbage and didn't even respond to your posts, would you read them? If so I admire the amount of free time you have. I just get nothing out of it. I don't advise people to use ignore against those they disagree with, that would be crazy. The contradiction is what I pointed out... I have posted my reasons for this and they are ignored by people who don't use the actual ignore function. Explain that one to me. 🤔

I'm confused as to why Trump's comments on recession would cause a market drop? Maybe because it signals he's willing to take on more short term pain to correct the trade situation? And is it true that Trump's chorus are quietening down now with the current situation? That puts me in an odd position: whether Trump is right or wrong, he believes that sacrifice is sometimes necessary for reform and I agree with that. But the "cut taxes constantly and regulations without thought because it always is beneficial" cult may actually be stronger than Trump? We're through the looking glass, Milton...

Who said that I ignore people I disagree with? I posted WHY I put people on IGNORE, but these posts didn't acknowledge that. They -> IGNORED <- something because they didn't want to hear it, not because I wouldn't engage with them...

Now you're learning. There are people I can't discuss anything with, because they see discussion that something different than what I see it as. I never think that I know everything and I have nothing to learn. I never think that it's a contest But a lot of people think that. I'll be discussing something and then they'll say something about winning? Winning what? It's not sports, it's about learning. And if you just want to keep repeating the same thing over and over again and never acknowledge a point, why should I waste my time?

They do go outside the box.

They're known as Christians, but I - an atheist - am more Christian than them.

And Jesus told the masses... "JFC, read between the lines bro"

1. Timothy was gay AF. 2. I thought that there was divinity in Buddhism? I'll have to Google that...

This also makes sense. A cancellation would send a clear message though. So we should cancel the order and not order anymore? 🤔

I'm not going to go back and check, but I saw some posts that implied that climate change was not anthropomorphic or even a hoax... If not then carry on with my humble concession. .

Christianity should semantically mean things that Christ taught, not Judges Leviticus or Genesis for example. I mean this just makes sense to me. Otherwise, anyone believing in evolution would be said to not be a Christian right? I would furthermore argue that you could be an atheist Christian, just as you can be an atheist Buddhist... It's more of a philosophy. But I also understand that common meaning is Paramount... Otherwise I'd have to agree with every chud who calls Trudeau a. Marxist.. 🤣

So why is he doing it? 🤔

1. The Bible isn't all about Christianity. 2. That's not in there. 3. It's pretty clear.

Trump called the deal that he architected incredibly unfair....

Climate change is real, and caused by humans. If you can't acknowledge that, then you don't enjoy reality. If you can, then we might be able to have an intelligent conversation.

Because they did once already?

What are you talking about? They absolutely love him! That's why they're still talking about him even though he won't be p.m. anymore in a few hours...

The same thing as a Canadian who needs healthcare at home. They're supposed to help. Do they ? Sometimes.

In the early 20th century, the disparity in power and wealth became so obvious that a group of level-headed and pragmatic politicians mobilized a popular movement to restrain the powerful. Now, that is what the MAGA thought they did... they didn't trust tech bros and the 'elite'... but the tech bros simply donated to the MAGA movement and are now helping to run it.

Well, 32% of them inherited their wealth, according to a web search I did. So the other 68 would all have to be smarter then average, I would say, to make it a super majority. This assumes that the someone's intelligence at birth is random, with an enumerated level scattered around the average. Just out of curiosity, did you know that that many people are born into billionaireship?

I think the opposite may be coming.

Ok but a corporation is simply a device. What's makes it fascist or not?
