And that day she learned the importance of punctuality

Also, I'm a soulist. I recognise that all parts of our experiential reality are subjective and socially constructed. And right now, that reality is defined by the rich and powerful. You cannot fight a war while believing that your enemy's weapons are natural and immutable. You cannot fight the rich from inside a reality they control and win. Even if you kill them all, you'll still live in the world they created. You need to take power over reality for the people. That's the only way anyone can ever be free.

Stalin wasn't far left. The man made being gay illegal. That's not the behaviour of a leftist.

Everything is a bias, everything is subjective, everything is open to interpretation. But most people think their own point of view is unbiased, no matter what it is. This is just a fact that naturally arises from believing in such a thing as unbiased information. It should be obvious. People want to hold whatever viewpoint they think is unbiased, so they do. People can be convinced to become racists, which necessarily implies that people can be convinced racism is unbiased. You didn't think racists all knew they were biased, did you? They think they're unbiased the same as you do, because you're both humans who want to believe that you have the good opinions, and that good opinions are unbiased. And the fact is, you're both equally correct on that front. You're both equally biased. It's just that you're biased in favour of compassion and equality, while they're biased in favour of hatred and supremacy. But the amount of bias is the same, because there's no such thing as an unbiased viewpoint. You just think kindness isn't a bias because you like kindness and you've been taught biases are bad things. Likewise, they think supremacy isn't a bias because they like supremacy and they've been taught biases are bad things. And if you're wondering if there's an alternative to the way both you and this racist think? Yes there is, you can knowingly adopt good biases. I'm knowingly biased in favour of kindness, because I like kindness. I think choosing such a way of thinking makes me more capable of empathising with people I disagree with, understanding why they act the way they do, so I can attack the more foundational reasons for their belief effectively. It means I'm never surprised to see stuff like this. Because the thing is, they think exactly the way most people do. Just with different starting points.

Red Dwarf has a gag where the crew has a time machine, but have sworn never to use it because of the potential dangers. But then the ship's curry supply is lost in a flood, and Lister (an average British slob) decides to go back to 20th century Earth for some curry.

Later on in the series they need a tyrannosaurus rex to lose its lunch, so they make a giant curry. The dinosaur loves the curry, and after having its fill it goes for the ship's supplies of lager and ice cream

This enby wakes up to the Cheers theme every morning

The summary is a lie. The crisis isn't over it expanding differently in different places. It's that two measurement methods give different results.

Well technically it would be skepticism

So conversely, a drop in activity at a gay bar (which does not deliver to the Pentagon), also means shit is going down?

Can someone explain this?

Nobody in this thread mentioned "pure" virgin gfs or said virgin partners are better than sexually active partners. I was answering a question that's applicable to myself in a direct and literal sense by explaining my queerness. You responded with hostility, accused my queerness of being the result of an incel fetish, and used this other weird tangential thing to explain your actions while continuing to insult me. Did you at any point consider being nice?

Also you're being really pedantic in a linguistically inappropriate way. You keep stressing the point that there isn't a 1:1 relationship between asexuality and virginity. Nobody made that assertion. Somebody asked about virgins in relationships and asked what it was and I responded "it's called being asexual". That's not a statement that every virgin is asexual, nor is it a statement that every asexual is a virgin. It's a colloquialism establishing an explanation for at least one occurrence. You read superfluous meaning into something I said and proceeded to repeatedly I'm wrong about something I didn't say. It's mean, cut it out.
