gregorum,

Picard and Worf both got the same amount of family exposure if counting by how many family members we met.

The three of them were the most developed and fleshed out characters of the TNG cast.

gregorum,

You win by a speciest technicality— that being, humanoids don’t see The Founders in “that way”. But we should.

gregorum,

And they’re all you. And you are them.

And we are the world.

gregorum,

Neither does he

gregorum,

I’m old enough to remember watching this live on TV (when you could still look directly at Michael Jackson without puking). Also, I tried to find a fitting meme to post with my comment, but I couldn’t find a good one. Cheers to you.

gregorum,

Make it sew!

AND I FEEL!

WHEN THE DOGS BEGIN TO SMELL HER!

WILL SHE SMELL ALOOOOOOONE???

gregorum,

And what have you done, Joe?

Not much.

In many ways, it’s as bad for lgbtq+ people as it was in the 90s, especially trans kids. Suicide rates are sky high for these folks, and the bigotry is everywhere. It’s disgusting.

And you’re silent.

gregorum,

I know where I am directing my comment. I don’t need you to tell me.

gregorum,

No. “But it could be worse” is a stupid argument that glosses over a president that’s been pretty shitty in response to a tidal wave of hate towards the lgbtq community during his administration. And I’m not going to sit here and pretend otherwise.

And for anyone else who wants to pretend, that’s all you’re doing. Pretending

gregorum,

I’m not missing anything and this has nothing to do with genocide. He did more as VP by just standing up and speaking out. Now, he’s been practically silent.

And I don’t need apologists like you lecturing me on how the government works.

gregorum,

I’m not the one pretending here. No progress has been made during this administration.

gregorum,

Christ is a myth, and if you think a single example in 4 years is anything impressive, it just proves how thirsty you are.

gregorum,

So easy to find that you couldn’t.

gregorum,

I’m not a centrist. I just don’t believe Biden should get credit where it’s not due. As vice president he engaged in plenty of LGBTQ advocacy. Not so much as president.

gregorum, (edited )

I apologize. I’ve been getting nothing but pushback here (as you see), and I confused your reply for that.

Look, we have VP Biden to thank for Obama going full-in on LGBTQ policy support. But where is that same gusto, that fervor with President Biden?

Nowhere.

The best he’s done is to reinstate or reconstruct Obama-era policies that MAGAts tore up, but only barely, and he’s done absolutely nothing to push things further. Worse, in the face of the worst onslaught against LGBTQ rights in decades, he’s all but silent.

I understand that the president isn’t an emperor and cannot simply dictate laws, but he can stand up and speak out. Obama did. Once, even Biden did. He did that a lot as vice president. Yet, as president, he has done absolutely none of that for the last four years, and it’s a sickening disappointment.

gregorum,

I did. Don’t tell me what I did and didn’t see or live through.

How arrogant and presumptuous of you to think you could presume my entire life experience from a few internet comments.

Oh, and making personal attacks to further your position just highlights how weak your argument is.

gregorum,

And, correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t some of those unenumerated rights include those granted by the federal government— such as the right to vote?

gregorum,

Kansas has decided that it is a sovereign citizen

gregorum,

He won’t go to prison, but there’s a decent chance he’ll get home confinement for a few months.

gregorum, (edited )

Swing voters and undecideds do. A significant number of people have said they won’t vote for him again if he got convicted.

gregorum,

Home confinement is always an option

gregorum,

This was my first thought: when will we get an arm based framework laptop?

gregorum, (edited )

They would first have to possess a mind in order for it to hold two opposing thoughts

gregorum,

Or justifiable as a means to an end

gregorum,

That’s a deep shoop

gregorum,

The funniest thing I can imagine is that a former comedian conquer Russia.

They deserve it

gregorum,

I just took 3 advil because my THC lotion wasn’t up to the task.

Shut up.

gregorum,

Shame on you for missing

gregorum,

fascists really are the biggest crybabies.

gregorum,

using the pain and suffering of others for personal benefit and prestige? sure sounds like it to me!

gregorum,

Right-wing Hate Group Heritage Foundation…

ftfy

gregorum,

how is The Satanic Temple demanding equal rights the same as bigoted harassment and bullying by the Heritage Foundation?

False equivalence

A false equivalence or false equivalency is an informal fallacy in which an equivalence is drawn between two subjects based on flawed or false reasoning. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency. Colloquially, a false equivalence is often called “comparing apples and oranges.”

gregorum, (edited )

Its the same sort of trolling.

again… explain how The Satanic Temple demanding equal rights is the same as bigoted harassment and bullying by the Heritage Foundation

The oppression totem pole shit doesn’t really apply here

yeah, because straight men aren’t oppressed, whereas the non-christians that TST advocate for are.

they dont have nearly the power that the likes of Disney and Apple.

TST doesn’t, but The Heritage Foundation sure does…

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heritage_Foundation

not that it matters, unless you’re claiming that only an entity with the “power” of liberal companies that you hate could be considered bigoted or a bully…

Moving the goalposts

Moving the goalposts is an informal fallacy in which evidence presented in response to a specific claim is dismissed and some other (often greater) evidence is demanded. That is, after an attempt has been made to score a goal, the goalposts are moved to exclude the attempt.[4] The problem with changing the rules of the game is that the meaning of the result is changed, too.[5]

gregorum,

Answer the question

gregorum,

Theyre simply demanding the same rights for ex-gay people as gay people get

And what rights are those?

gregorum,

You still refuse to explain how they don’t already have that right

gregorum,

Anything that lets straight, cis, white men cry about others getting rights as if it cost them anything other than their perceived superiority.

gregorum,

So, just a section of the sidewalk, then

gregorum,

That’s pretty much what they’re doing

gregorum,

he’s pulling a “not Hillary” and actually doing a fuckton of grassroots campaigning in depressed-voting districts, spending outrageous amounts of money on outreach and ads, too. Also good that they’re addressing this now, rather than waiting until the last minute.

gregorum,

Starting earlier would have been better, but a lot of the analysis I’ve been listening to seems to indicate that it wasn’t until recently that the Biden campaign was able to get a better idea of the who/where/whys of the disengagement and how best to respond. This is what most likely informed the timing of their strategy.

gregorum,

Biden is having his team sniff out all the best food and likely ice cream doo-wop spots.

gregorum,

they’re so busy genociding every Palestinian man, woman, and child, it almost seems like they forgot who Hamas even is, until it’s time for someone to deflect blame onto.
