No, it's good. It prevents people from supporting car polluters. Any law that harms car drivers is a good law.

Supporting car drivers means supporting pollution. OOP is bad.

Yeah I hate it when I'm trying to enjoy myself at the park and there's a bunch of birds screaming at the top of their lungs about sex.

The guy used Xitter, a platform he owns, to promote a transphobic documentary made by Matt Walsh. Matt Walsh's Xitter bio famously begins with the words "theocratic fascist", or, y'know, Nazi. If Xitter has been used to push anti-trans propaganda made by Nazis, who says Starlink won't? I don't think Musk gives a xit about net neutrality.

Yeah but who wants a Nazi as their ISP?

I know lots of people don't know it's a slur. That's why I made this post and included an explanation of how and why it's a slur. I don't know what your complaint is. I was very aware of what you're saying and took action on it. Is your argument that I shouldn't have told people it was a slur? Are you opposed to the concept of education? Or are you just arguing because you like to be contrary?

I don't know about the rest of the world but my country is in a recession. There are no jobs and no houses. Rent is huge.

The number of people who can buy expensive toys is going down. People want good value for money, and good value for money is winning the market.

The word "narcissist" isn't Greek, it's English, and it comes from the English name of a disorder. The etymology of that disorder is no more relevant than the fact that "retardare" is a Latin word to determining whether it's a slur.

I didn't say NPD is insurmountable, I said it's crippling. People with NPD can lead normal lives, just like people without legs can, so long as society is designed with their accessibility in mind. I'd be very surprised if you argued being born without legs isn't a crippling disability. I don't see why you're making that argument in this similar case.

Yes, there is no consensus on what causes NPD. I'm citing the theory I believe. I'm also willing to cite my belief that the earth is round, despite what a controversial statement that is these days, somehow.

There's no reason for you to be coming into this thread which is saying to treat disabled people with respect, and for you to be spreading misinformation and argument for argument's sake. Why can't you just agree "yes, Eudico shouldn't have said that, it's harmful", and left it at that? You're accusing the person with a disability of harmful behaviour and not the actual subject of the thread, which is a character that used a slur. Why do we disabled people have to deal with the "um, actually" brigade every time we ask for decent treatment?

You mean at once? Heroin and cocaine. Over a lifetime? Good health, useful work, kind deeds, meaningful relationships, safety, self-determination, knowledge, and fun.

Even knowing the lazy gamers you believe in would use it to play video games all day if they existed? Big if true.

It's really hard to actually accept that as a capitalist's opinion. Liberals tend to say all kinds of nice things, and then turn around and pass policies that completely contradict that. Like, y'all say I deserve to live and then you don't implement a UBI. It's like you're lying to yourselves that you're actually nice people.

Doesn't the owner of Raddle keep on getting into controversies with abusing the platform?
