@cobratbq I wasnt criticisng you, I know what you meant. All im saying is that if society sees unconditional compassion as suspicious that should not at all effect a good persons desire to be compassionate without condition, if he is truly a good person. But it is sad society would respond in such a way.

@cobratbq If you are being kind because it is "acceptable" then you are doing it for the wrong reasons. that said it is sad when a society is so broken it even finds a reason to hate kindness.

@KimPerales

I cant in good conscious click a vox link. But I am curious what country Hu is, I never heard of Hu.. Hungary?

It is the only kindness that actually exists...

This literally describes pretty much anywhere other than the USA and some of the middle east.

@Shanmonster and what a lovely bum it is, thank you for the share.

@Raccoon

Ahhh ok, thanks for clarifying.

@stux

Oh i think this happened like over a year ago didnt it? I think I heard of that actually, some sort of disrespect thing I think at a temple or something.

@stux

What is the case for specifically? Sounds like no one will be loosing sleep over it.

@Raccoon What do you mean off? They are almost exactly at what was predicted.. Vegas had Harris at 43% and 57% chance for Trump winning, which lines up quite well.

You mean with a specific pole or something maybe?

@cobratbq

And no, you arent stealing my time. I can always not answer :) All good.

@cobratbq

Obviously a dictatorship of a single party is worse than a looser dictatorship run by two parties..

One of the reasons to oppose a 2 party system is because its the step right before full dictatorship.

@timorl

Thank you.

Yes the "there were always 2 parties" is the illusion I spoke of.

In a FPTP system if the underlying real support for parties is red: 40% blue: 39% lib: 21% then the vote will come out as something like red 51%, blue 49%. However in the next election if the real preference shifts than the vote will immediately and drastically change as well to reflect the new party.

In other words, while the votes themselves will give the illusion of a two party system by converting true support to a 2-party vote outcome not reflecting true support. The real underlying support will not reflect a 2-party system and there will be **no** preference for the same 2 parties to win from one election to the next.

We see this with the historic changes in parties, in every election where a new third party becomes dominate within a single election a previously near 50% party shoots completely down to less than 2% and the third party immediately shoots up to near 50%. In other words the numbers move rapidly and shifts in primary parties easily change.

So again this doesnt reflect a 2-party system, just an illusion that reinforces the myth and thus is self fullfilling.

@cobratbq

@timorl

I was unaware of that. Have any links?

@ABScientist

@ech Its all I got :)

@robryk

Seems you are correct and I mistook the SESTA act for her campaigning to deny trans women gender-afirming care as the attorny general. Her office fought pretty strongly to deny gender-afirming care to trans women in jail, which came to be a big issue at one point. Her office's commentary on the case reinforcing the standpoint.

But you are right it wasnt actually directly in SESTA that I can find, that said i havent had time to go through it all.
