It should get OP a ban. What's the point of defederation if someone from .ml is just going to bring all that shit here?

Not ascribing the worst motivations to something is quite different than "seeing their point."

I did address your second point. I said it was irrelevant.

I hope if someone starts saying something awful about you with no basis there aren't people who thoughtlessly "see their point" for no reason.

A lot of people have a lot of stupid/bigoted opinions. Do you see all of their points too?

Your opinions of other shows are irrelevant to weather or not they have a valid point about this show.

That's enough? Someone says something, anything, and you see their point?

This is not semantic at all. I'm asking for one example from Star Trek that allows you to "see the point" of someone that says it's "woke," "pushy," "preachy," or anything else along those lines.

If you're unable to give an example you'll have to forgive people for assuming the reason is the mere existence of the characters that makes them feel that way and that allows you to "see their point."

To see their point you don't need to agree with it but you do need to think there is some basis for it.

What is the basis for their point that allows you to see it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (7 children)

To see their point, you would have to think there is at least something to it.

Their, and your, inability to support that point makes it nonsensical to me.

Why do you see their point? What is at least one example of "woke(nees)" or "push(iness)" that makes your see their point? Or do you just agree with them on a visceral level that requires no explanations?

If you see his point you should be able to give one example of "preaching" other than the characters existence.

Since these characters were introduced people have said what you're saying over and over. Always with the same "I don't have a problem with gay/trans/NB but..." disclaimer. Then they refuse to give examples of the characters doing anything other than existing. This thread is a good example. Please refresh my memory. Which episode(s) focus "on the social issues that surround homosexuality."

Outside of the scene where Adira tells Stamets their pronouns and the use of those pronouns, give me one line, in one scene, in one episode, of one season that would have to be changed if Adira was a cis straight human woman hosting the symbiote of her deceased cis straight Trill boyfriend.

Give me one line, in one scene, in one episode, of one season that would have to be changed if either Stamets or Culber was a woman.

To be clear, although I don't remember any, I'm not saying you couldn't find any examples. I'm just curious what constitutes "forced and obvious" plot elements that are "advertisement(s) for ideologies" that "ruins the show" for you.

Without examples all anyone hears is you bitching about the existence of these characters the way Archie Bunker would have bitched about Uhura simply existing.

Here is one.

$99 no tools required. They go up from there but there is something available for almost any budget, even for people that don't have or are useless with tools.

Adagio.com

From cheap to very expensive and everything in-between. Big resealable bags to get the per cup price down. Having a couple small canisters you can refill from the bags makes it so you don't open the big bags too often, if you did it every day it would probably get stale.

A very generous reward program that basically gets you 10% back.

And they always give me a few samples with each order. I've been turned on to some new stuff that way.

I usually get a few big bags of my staples (which are medium price) and some smaller weights of nicer stuff for when I want a really good pot.

For the sake of anyone in the future that might be subjected to the inane bullshit that issues from your deficient mind, I really hope you do feel that way. Sometimes valuable lessons are hard to hear. Good luck applying them, I'm sure everyone in your life would appreciate it.

I'm not trying to win by insulting you, I'm doing that because you deserve it. You should feel bad about what you are. If you feel shame for it maybe you'll keep your mouth shut like a good little halfwit instead of vomiting out bullshit that might influence others to make a bad decision.

You can't win so you keep putting words in my mouth. I never said mortgages are a risk and I absolutely didn't say they were a loss in value. I'd say I didn't know where you're getting that, but it's probably right out of your ass like everything else. I not saying now that there aren't risks involved in buying a house but I never said there were, because that's not what I've been talking about. I've just been refuting your nonsense about home equity as it applies to net worth and the rate you gain equity after buying.

In case you forgot, once again:

You said you have to pay off 50% of a house before it's positive to your net worth. That's not just wrong, it's dumb as fuck.

You said it takes years or decades to break even selling a house. That's not just wrong, it's dumb as fuck.

Are you mentally impaired? Like diagnosed? I don't want to make fun of you if you are, that would be mean.

Stop putting words in my mouth and stop moving the goalposts.

You said you have to pay 50% of your mortgage before a house adds to your net worth. That isn't just wrong, it's dumb as fuck.

You said it takes years or decades to be able to break even selling a house. That's not just wrong, it's dumb as fuck.

Whether or not is a smart idea for a particular person to buy a particular house or if it's a good idea to invest in real estate vs something else are different discussions. I would bet it's a bad idea for you because you seem unable to grasp even the most basic concepts.

But if you want to pretend you're arguing with someone who says buy a bunch of houses and leave them empty to make money and ignore all the braindead shit you said so you can tell yourself you're right, go for it. I hope that attitude takes you far in life.
