Maybe if you imagined then being played angrily by tiny little opera phantoms it would help.

Pointing out racism is not you making everything about racism, it’s there being a lot of racist shit.

If he didn’t try a coup after he lost the last election, you might be able to give him the benefit of the doubt.

It’s far, far less than Israel has killed. Before Oct 7th, it was about ten to one Palestinians killed for every Israeli killed. Now it’s much much worse and getting worse everyday. Or does that not matter?

Now, can we say Hamas is bad? Of course we can, but by whatever metrics we use to call out Hamas as being bad, Israel is at least ten times worse.

You can’t bring in the amount of children Hamas has killed, and at the same time ignore that Is real has killed way more, and expect people to take you seriously. And if you want to try to play the “who shot first” game, that was also Israel, forcing its way into the land that they now occupy. And every square inch they have invaded since.

I loved it when it came out, and was excited for the series when I heard about it. But my family did not have cable so I couldn’t watch the series until years later, luckily there were still 7 years of the show left.

Edit to add, I don’t disagree with you about the general public forgetting about it.

I love Stargate and the shows. I get the criticism, and don’t much disagree with it, love Stargate anyway.

I get the idea of the turn off the brain thing, but I think it’s more about being willing to jump into another reality. Yeah, it’s an action movie light on story, but honestly a lot of critically acclaimed dramas are just as light on story in order to get to the drama. There’s nothing writing with that and sometimes it works. I also like a lot of them.

The Mexican pizza that had olives on it.

Maybe it does

Seems like this kind of bullshit needs to be removed just like the NDA bullshit that got fixed.

Defund Starfleet!

I’d love to read the police reports and see the other side. In cases like these, listening to both sides will get you further from the truth.

The productive class vs the parasite class.

Not you. They have so much money that they do not have to concern themselves on a personal level. As long as things keep working out for them on the macro level, they will keep doing fine.

Kidnapped person, in the wrong place at the wrong time, found fatally wounded by bullets that had moved at a fast rate of speed that originated from firearms that police happened to be holding at the time the gun powder started a chemical reaction that sent them flying out of the barrels.

Wait until they read the second one “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water”

Don’t forget every major corporation.

Alright, buddy, have fun.

Pushing back against my rudeness? You think what I’m doing is rude and what you’re doing is OK because you think I was rude.

Because when someone is trying to do something nice for you, you don’t smack their hand way.

I didn’t smack your hand away, I made a joke based on your odd assumption. If you only wanted to be nice, why are you pushing me at all? When I try to do something nice, and the person receiving it doesn’t like it, I apologize, because I did something to them. That they didn’t like. That is the polite thing to do. The nice thing.

Trying to brow beat the other person into appreciating what you did or worse, to get them to apologize to you for not liking what you did is not nice. It’s controlling behavior. It’s bad behavior. You are behaving badly and rudely. No amount of ridiculously irrational ramblings is going to change that.

instead of inquiring further to what I was trying to convey

I already knew what you were trying to convey, I was not the one ignoring the other. Which most would agree is rude behavior.

Well, when you start[…]

Hey, I don’t care. I was just offering up some friendly advice about how to interact with others. Act how ever you feel you need to. It just looks to me like you’re missing the mark on what you claim to want to do. By all means, keep messing up, it doesn’t affect me one way or the other.

And truly, I would say that you are the one who is not listening.

I’m sure you would say that. I’m sure that in your head I’m the bad guy and you’re some kind of crusader whipping me into submission for having the gall to respond differently to you than how you wanted me to.

And yes, I am fun at parties. Not sure why you think otherwise from a small sample of our interacting. It’s kind of irrational.

You want the right to act as you want with others without them being able to tell you when you are acting poorly. Gotcha.

Well this doesn’t make any sense. Do you want to read what I try that again?

Honestly, you were being rude

I wasn’t. I have nothing to apologize for. If it makes you feel any better, I don’t think there is any winning in an Internet argument. I honestly thought this was just some weird exchange and not an argument at all.

If you think it’s a waste of time, and you’re not getting entertainment out of it like I am, then why am did you keep replying?
