Absolutely we shouldn’t, and you’re right that these chicks are all basically clones. You don’t even notice when one of them disappears from public because they’re immediately replaced with the new model.

No that’s the infowars one. I don’t think the fox one did anything interesting.

On some level I think she knows tying for fifth place in one college swim meet is the most significant thing she’ll ever do in her life, and if she waits another 10 minutes to capitalize on it, no one will remember who she is anymore.

There’s something really sad about publishing a memoir before you’re 30. It just screams “I know I’ll never do anything else significant in my life and everyone will forget I exist within five years.”

I’ve never heard the phrase “resistance in the courts.” Is there a legal term for that?

Assuming the US is still a country in 3 years, how long will it take to undo the mess that’s been made of just the CDC? We could be without reliable health information for years, maybe longer.

“Studies supporting a link” bro what studies? There was ONE study, Brian Deer exposed it as a complete fraud decades ago. Heath authorities ignore it because it was RETRACTED and its author lost his medical license for abusing children.

If you honestly believe that you’re either shockingly ignorant or morally bankrupt. I will choose to believe it’s the former and ask you to do even the slightest bit of research.

who oppose the genocide of Jewish people also oppose the genocide if anyone else, even if we need to use a different phrase to express that.

Thanks for giving me that context. If someone wants to argue that that specific phrase should only be used in the context of antisemitism, I can get behind that. I think that’s still different from saying genocide is only bad when it happens to Jewish people, though, and I would hope all people +

It almost carries the connotation that victims deserve what happens to them, because if they were seeing like survivors, they wouldn’t have died. And that sentiment is condemnable.

Oh that sentiment really sucks. It’s kind of like how survivors of the Holocaust (or any other horror) are lauded as being so strong and brave, but like, does that mean the people who didn’t survive weren’t also strong and brave? Weren’t strong and brave enough?

only bad if it’s committed against Jewish people, then that’s evil and I oppose that. Okay bye.

Sorry, post-shower clarity post. If your point has merely been that the words “never again” should be a uniquely Jewish phrase, I understand and support that and I won’t use it for other purposes. If, however, you endorse the *concept* I was arguing against, to go back to my OP, that genocide is +

oppression. However, I also think genocide is bad no matter whom it’s committed against or whom it’s committed by. If that necessitates a separate phrase, I’ll use the less catchy but all inclusive, “mass murder is evil.”

I’m really sorry you feel the need to view people that way although I understand why you do. I need to get ready for my day now and since you don’t seem interested in defending those comments after all I think I’ll just mute this thread.

This isn’t your thread and you weren’t involved in the conversation up to this point, so as an alternative, perhaps you could have continued not to be involved? Just a suggestion.

If you would care to defend her words, by all means do so. Simply telling me I am incapable of understanding is not helpful to either of us. Cf other people explaining the context of the phrase to me.)
