I love Casey's humour too. I have never seen someone be so respectful as they make fun of someone and still be funny. I picture him wearing a white shirt and black tie as he snipes people :)
I must admit, your ability to summarize half a day of drama down to a single sentance without leaving out a single detail of importance really is a god damn work of art.
@realcaseyrollins Nah this is the aftermath of the post, a comment I made once I had to finally block him (which i really never like to do).
For thread integrity I gave the 5 second rundown here: https://qoto.org/@freemo/107304261706726159
And by the way if you want me on the show just reach out anytime, a little notice is good as I can get a bit busy but always happy to carve out some time to help a friend.
I'll be in egypt for 3 - 6 months diving so if its during that time I gotta make sure the internet will be able to stream, im told it is fast internet so should be good.
Personally I see no need to get casey involved other than the fact that you want to try to get random people to hate me cause your butt hurt. But as long as you two are discussing it ill add the actual details:
To be clear I didnt go off on him for blocking a trans person. I went off on him for blocking a trans person who had no interaction with him simply for being trans and announcing it publicly that is what he was doing and why. I then politely asked him what was up with that and he went on to admit he hated all trans people.
I then discussed with him for several hours the merit of this, and yes i told him I lost a great deal of respect for having this view. At the end when it started calling people in to dogpile on me rather than to discuss the topic himself he yelled at me to leave him alone. I said ok, then he tagged me half a dozen more times and I asked him if he wanted to discuss or not. His response was to tag several people (including P) again to try to get people to attack/dogpile me instead of discuss. I told him off for doing this and then blocked him.
Now he is salty he is blocked, end of story.
Its also a hot spot for people smoking bath salts and spice. So there are usually all sorts of drug addicts out of their fucking gourd around there. At least thats how we refer to it in philly.
The problem is your assumptiont hat the total amount of crime would go down is wrong. In fact it would go up, by a lot.

O'Captain my Captain ::salutes::
@djatropine444 I dont think there is a waffle house within a day's drive of philly honestly.
@Jar yes distasteful is the whole point of your-mom jokes, so I wont disagree with that.
It may be a fine line but I dont mind making distasteful remarks about assholes and their moms in a clearly fictionalized context. Where I draw the link is making hateful remarks about women as a whole or individuals who arent assholes.
As long as there is at least 1 kid that needs adoption or 1 too many people in the world then having even a single kid will look selfish to me honestly. That said there are different levels of selfish too.
I cant particularly speak to canada really... I usually just picture you guys as a baren wasteland of ice with like one populated town where everyone gathers for the poutine and to tell wholesome stories of how they saved moose for various disasters while you sip cups filled with maple syrup.
and no im not suggesting everyone just stop having sex and it drops to 0. As I said the rate right now is way too high even if its going down it isnt going down nearly fast enough. We dont need to get to 0, but we do need to lower the rate, and as long as its too high then every single baby born is selfish.
North america hardly has enough? Dude the homeless and jobless are overflowing int he streets. We cant even give work to the people we have let alone sustain more people.
@Jar Let me rephrase. Joking about having consensual sex with someone is not a rape joke. There are all sorts of crude adjectives you can rightly describe it with, but rape isnt one of them.
@djatropine444 I probably stand a better chance than most of muddling my way through court if I had to :)
The problem with having 1 to 2 children per couple is the population would go down far far too slowly, particularly if its intentional as people will always tack on a few extras.
The world would never get to 0, but if people stop **intentionally** having babies and only the ones that are broken condems and failed birthcontrol then there will be enough of a baseline to fill in the population.
Moreover we arent anywhere near "too low".. So until that rate is down to significantly less than it is then every baby born IMO is selfish.
@Jar Of course I know her. Why would she ask me to fist her if I didnt know her.
(BTW only way to get around the silence is to specifically go to your feed so likely wont see responses. But I did want to make sure you were heard so I checked in and read the thread that was being copy and pasted to me earlier)
