What's your prediction for the 2024 US election?
  • Harris is the way forward. She's not Trump but also SHE IS NOT BIDEN.

    Yeah....

    Asked whether there is anything she would have done differently than Biden over the past four years, Harris demurred.

    There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of — and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact,”

    “You asked me what is the difference between Joe Biden and me — that will be one of the differences. I’m going to have a Republican in my Cabinet,”

    She's going to lose. Not because people love Trump (though many do unfortunately) but because she refuses to seperate herself from the old man actively commiting genocide and herself leans to the right trying to pick up Trump supporters on issues like immigration, when they will never switch and she just disillusions people who care about those issues in the left.

    What is your opinion on bans issued for things that happen to someone due to things that take place outside their jurisdiction, and what's the last or most memorable time it has happened to you?
  • If so, then here’s my opinion: If you own or manage a shop, bar, club, gym, etc., it’s reasonable to ban someone because they aren’t the sort of person you want in your establishment. Maybe they make you or your other customers uncomfortable.

    I disagree with this specific aspect. I believe there should be reasons required to ban someone. Not just because you own the place and don't want them in your place as they make you/other customers uncomfortable.

    As you state above, we have had to add protections for certain groups in the past as this is literally the justification for segregation in the past. But it's still relevant as it's the reason homeless people (for example) en masse aren't allowed in public places in the present, even if they're good people who have done nothing wrong. We also see it being abused with the allowance of a few "good ones" from said protected class to avoid discrimination claims while still discriminating against the rest of said class.

  • So a .ML user posted a rant about bans, seemingly from real world establishments based on the wording, in a .ML group, and you felt it would make you seem normal to come in and take the opportunity to assume he was talking about .ML members being banned from other communities and to complain about .ML users?

    Mirror.

    Conservative asked me my thoughts on a situation if a guy who says he's trans walks into a womens restroom but is lying and isn't actually trans
  • The social contract

    and the knowledge that it isn't acceptable

    Rapists, well known followers of social contract who only do things that are acceptable...

    It's not concerning at all that this didn't seem immensely silly and wrong when you typed it...

    and any women inside would likely scream

    Because if a bathroom allows trans women, women will then be unable to scream while facing an attempted rape?

    the man would be perceived as an attempted rapist and would face consequences.

    Are you advocating that any man who even accidentally enters a woman's restroom startling a woman be declared an attempted rapists?

    Otherwise, they will be considered an attempted rapist whether trans and allowed in the bathroom or not...when they start doing the attempted rape...
