I have no interest in debating if it should be mandatory or not, thats another argument and not what this is about... again you misframed the opinion of those people, the fact that you disagree with them is fine, but not the point. Your dishonest representation of their argument is the point, if you had argued against their real argument from the get go (or at least not misrepresented the group) then i would have no problem with you making the argument, even if I feel it is wrong.

@JuliusGoat

@theothersimo

Saying the same incorrect generalization about people a second time wont make your argument any less wrong.

Again as one of the people who was against **mandatory** vaccines but for vaccines I am not just a counter-example to that but know full well just how many people agree with my stance, and it clearly is not less than 1% as you suggest, not even close.

@JuliusGoat

@theothersimo

I took offense to you referring to it as 99% which it clearly isnt. A **very** large proportion support vaccines and are against **mandatory** vaccines. Whatever the actual percentage it doesnt even approach the numbers you are claiming.

I also didnt take offense for you calling out the minority, i took offense to you framing as if they were 99% when they are clearly not.

@JuliusGoat

@theothersimo

Being nuanced and being correct/wrong are not mutually exclusive ideas. Your argument managed to somehow make less sense than this asshat, impressive.

@theothersimo

Depends on the person. No doubt this does explain some of them. But it is hardly the majority.

Take myself as a prime counter example. I worked as a COVID-19 research scientist. I beleive that if you dont take the vaccine you are a complete and utter moron. Regardless I am against mandatory vaccines. Most people ont he left screamed anti-vaxxer at me, when clearly i was pro-vaccine, they just refused to hear any nuance in my stance.

This is what the left routinely does, what you just did. Pretend like you hear an argument which isnt the argument being made (or made by a small minority) and then turnt he toxicity up to 11. The truth is most people who were against mandatory vaccines and labled an anti-vaxxer weren't even against vaccines, at all. You magnify the 1% most idiotic of the other argument and then pretend like its the majority. Worst yet, its a lie repeated so often people believe it.

@JuliusGoat

Perfect example of why I just cant bring myself to vote for Biden despite hating Trump... I just cant in my right mind be associated with people who act this way.

@pinkdrunkenelephants

What do you mean off "Your" feed. We arent on your feed. You replied to **me** your on my thread, and we are both on someone elses feed, not yours.

@tessarakt @JuliusGoat

@pinkdrunkenelephants

You cared enough to respond twice now. If you didnt care (or were simply not a toxic person) you wouldnt have commented at all and just moved on if you didnt like the discussion.

@tessarakt @JuliusGoat

@pinkdrunkenelephants

And you prove my point by derailing the thread by mentioning valid and relevant points I made to the main thread and making it toxic and antagonistic rather than discussing a relevant point maturely (or just moving on).

I pointed out it was an argument about bodily autonomy and pointed out how that is consistent with their other arguments. It is directly relevant to my point which directly addressed the OPs point. That isnt derailing, that is valid discussion of relevant nuance.

@tessarakt @JuliusGoat

@tessarakt

Agreed, which is why i am personally for permitting abortions with strong restrictions that maximize consideration for the bodily autonomy of both.

But regardless of if we agree that it is a good application of bodily autonomy principle as I said lets be fair to their stance and why they have it rather than trying to lie and frame it in an inaccurate way in order to look superior (which only serves to hurt our own argument)

I mean you also never exiernced a disease as wide spread or as lethal as this under any other president.... and for the record they had rolling morgues in virtually every country at the height of it.

Day three of dosing ozempic daily instead of weekly... Feeling much better about this so far.

In the 60s this would have been a starving lion. Scientists are slacking these days!

I just realized in "The Color of Magic" second episode in the scene where rincewind talks to the spells you can see magical writing floating around him. It is all using Enochian Script, a "real" magickal loagaeth. Really cool detail! Also my favorite magickal script!

If i ever write a security question it is going to be "What is the 5th letter in the alphabet?"

@trinsec

thing sin the universe spin because they contract. When everything was all spread out everything had random movement. So it mostly averaged out to no spin but there would be a **very** small net spin.

But as things collapsed into planets, starts, and galaxies, they contracted. As their mass comes closer to their center of masses angular speed will increase. It is the same effect as when a skater tucks in their arms to spin faster.

Since the universe as a whole is expanding, and it is only its constituent parts that contract (read the average distance between everything is increasing) one can logically conclude the universe is not only not spinning in any appreciable sense but in fact what inperceivably small spin it did have has been forever slowing down.
