I never said now implied anyone owed me anything, that’s all in your imagination but does sorta parse or the type of person you are.

Yes, we are having a conversation, ie. An exchange of ideas and ideals. If someone says ““x is because of y” doesn’t make sense to me because q is not y” for future reference the answer is almost never going to be “hah retard! Why are you so retarded!”.

They’re not tinfoil crazy questions or they’d be easy to answer, the fact you haven’t answered them and instead turned to personal insults based on your personal perceptions of me proves you can’t answer the question. You’re literally proving my point as to why perception of offense is different than intended offense.

Hilariously inept, love it.

Short range point to point trucking (day trucking) is necessary, pretty much any other truckload is better taken by rail both faster and cheaper in countries other than the US because oil companies didn’t intentionally kneecap American rail.

That’s an infrastructure problem you can help solve and regardless going on long trips for most people is 100% optional.

You got my point backwards boss. The climate protestors care, the people bugging about rocks don’t care about human life, they care about rocks that have historically been vandalized to make a point literally hundreds of times.

An optional “profession” that steals money from qualified taxis and is also super abusive towards its employees. That’s not an excuse, that’s an explanation an kinda of a bad one at that.

Hear me out, painting private planes don’t effect 98% of humanity not everyone has an interest in the arts.

It’s literally rocks. You’re valuing human life less than rocks, I think that says more about you than them.

There absolutely is, the fact that most other major countries get 6 weeks mandatory minimum and we have zero mandatory minimum is crazy.

That just isn’t true, you just said you could ride a train. You choose not to, that’s a big difference.

But saying rail is significantly slower you narrow your nationality to maybe 5 major nations one happens to be significantly more represented on Lemmy. The “need” to drive safe over reaction to the guess means I’m almost certainly correct. Am I not?

But much better for the environment, sometimes others matter more and when more people use rail it’s more likely our country will catch up and build hyper train networks.

See another non answer and an insult. If you had an argument you’d make it and clearly you haven’t because you don’t. If someone asks a question maybe be nice or I dunno keep your hateful inside shit inside to save for a therapist.

That’s a non argument.

“You’re a bad person! How dare you ask a legitimate question in a respectful way!”

Rather than “x is because of y” or “I’m sorry I’m not sure I can answer that” but rather going out of your way to be cruel.

So fun question, how is the way you’re talking to me not dehumanizing.

Gotcha.

I don’t think it’s either.

Ok, though I have never heard anyone say that without joking, change that " I went on a date with a male". Offensive? “I went on a date with a dude” Offensive? I don’t think so. Similarly everyone gets objectified, that’s part of being a human unfortunately since everyone uses everyone else as objects.

Asking to stop isn’t a point, I can ask you to stop breathing does that obligate your breathing to be offensive? No, it simply means you feel that way. We don’t call asians oriental anymore because it’s not accurate and comes from a time when the average person if they met an Asian person they had probably met a Chinese person. Fun example being Indians, they’ve asked routinely not to be called that and guess what? They keep getting called Indians. Offensive? No, hilarious because all it points out is white European hubris. Similarly, what Steven wants to be called is irrelevant, what they respond to is if you get my point.

As the supreme court famously said, “one man’s vulgarity is another man’s lyric.” I can’t determine what is going to offend you because there is such a crazy weird amount of shit to be offended about, an accurate title that just makes you feel weird is not something worth worrying about. I avoid it anyway because I don’t like to hear people’s word virtue signaling rants when I don’t.

It’s not not-nice to call a female a female, it might make you feel weird but that’s a you issue not an anyone else issue.

Maybe don’t do that? Catch a train it’s significantly cheaper anyway.

If you’re driving more than 300miles a day you’re just admitting your a much larger slice of the shitty pie.

It doesn’t dehumanize anyone though, male and female are the two most common sexes in humanity so it being either doesn’t disqualify you for humanity anymore than any other multi hyphenate.

Also no woman isn’t specist in is etymology, its sexist technically we only take it as human because only a human can consent to enter into marriage.

Wif = wife / man = mankind. Literally the wif of men, technically you aren’t even a woman if you aren’t married or at least capable of being married.

I just avoid it altogether and rephrase my use of “females” to be inoffensive but to be honest I don’t particularly get why it’s so offensive.

No bad. You don’t need soldiers to attack you need them to deny area. No soldiers ≠ no war/conflict.

It’s particularly funny because Stonehenge is almost entirely a reconstruction and not a partially destructive one at that. Iirc there are even legit photos of the henge stones in piles on the ground.

Ed: you can down vote but it’s true, it’s been continually knocked down and rebuilt throughout its history.

It’s worse than that, if they have shelf scanners they could see cans of peas just went from 4 to 3 so they then increase price because of the demand you yourself just created.
