It definitely has the same value, it's just that you can buy less with it!

Yup, the CGI in that was definitely better than the Kremlin's attempt today.

They've already been trying that for the last 15 months though without success.

Fake news is boring news.

Top work on the CGI in the video they posted of the "drone attack". Unfortunately in the footage you can also clearly see two men walking around on the roof completely unscathed as the "drone" supposedly explodes.

If the Kremlin said it, you can pretty much guarantee that it isn't true.

We're loving the magical Ukrainian drones that teleport to Moscow and materialize out of thin air to drop on the Kremlin ignoring all the anti-air systems placed on the roofs. Hilarious stuff, please send more.

Keep on demonstrating your hatred of Jews as well, that's bound to go down well with the rest of the world.

Democracy is just a form of government. The ethics and morality of initiating force against innocents are regulated by international agreements, not governments.

Elective representative democracy is only one kind of democracy though. In Athenian #democracy #sortition was used to randomly select officials from the populace at large, in the same way that jurors are chosen for trials nowadays, and there are other possible solutions as well - e.g. direct democracy, although this has many documented problems related to how the populace get their information.

Arguably this has been the case forever. Even first-hand witness statements are not reliable since it is well known that your brain fabricates a huge proportion of what you consider to be your perceptions, in order to facilitate predicting your environment.

Otherwise optical illusions, for instance, could not exist.

Bud Light isn't a company, it's a product. Anheuser-Busch is the company.

I also disagree that the transgender agenda is progressive. There are many aspects of it that are totalitarian and retrograde, destroying decades of work in women's and gay rights.

You are right that it is being pushed by some important people though. And that is because there is a lot of money to be made in pharma and medicine if you persuade people that they need drugs and surgery to really be themselves. Follow the money.

Perhaps. But let's do a little thought experiment.

Your government says that in order to apply for your driving license you must use an online form on the internet. You cannot legally drive without filling in this form.

On the form there is a required field marked Religion. You have to choose one option. The options are:

- Atheist

- Muslim

- Sikh

That's it.

Were you able to avoid walking in the dog shit?

I make it without garlic, I use pine nuts and parmesan.

Leuchtende Farben. Wo dann ist es, in Afrika?

The Kremlin really needs to work on their meme game. This is just lame.

Banning and censoring me from lesbian safe spaces for not being sexually attracted to "girldick" is not supporting me, it is homophobia. The "LGBTQIAS+" alphabet nonsense is not my community, and it is not the gay community, transgender and queer has nothing to do with homosexuality and it has nothing to do with the oppression we have faced, except in as much as yet again I find biological males telling me what I can and can't do.

I am not interested in the trans community, you can have your own space if you want. But the trans community wants to exclude me from MY space. You seem to think that slapping a label of "transphobe" on me for whatever reason gives you permission to oppress me in any way you want. What is your definition of "transphobe"? Someone who refers to you with pronouns you don't want them to? If so you are trying to police other people's thoughts.

1. It does not mean that all trans people are violent. But it does mean that women must be protected against the risk of violence. The violence is perpetrated almost exclusively by biological males. So biological males need to be excluded from women's safe spaces (toilets, abuse shelters, prisons).

3. Children cannot by their very nature give informed consent, just as they cannot give informed consent for sex, therefore "the advice of the child" is worthless. Transition IS being imposed on children in anglophone countries, strangers are deciding for the child if they qualify as trans and the parents are being overridden or kept in the dark. You can research many examples of this. Here are examples of it being imposed on children as young as two years old: https://100percentfedup.com/sick-three-leading-n-carolina-hospitals-offer-gender-affirming-care-to-children-as-young-as-2-yrs-old/

4. A transphobe is being defined by trans rights activists as someone who doesn't want to date transgender woman, so your logic is circular. Trans activists are literally banning people for saying they don't want to sleep with them. And the spaces that they are being banned from are spaces that were created by them and for them. It is as if I invited you into my house, then you stole my keys, said it is your house now and kicked me out because I didn't want to sleep with you.

Unfortunately this is not true. Claiming to be something that you are not DOES change things for other people as I have explained several times to you with examples.

If you could just express yourself without colonizing other people's space, nobody would have any problem with that. The only reason there is conflict here is because you (or trans rights activists in general) are crossing a line into territory that already belongs to someone else.

"gender is a social construct, it's just a part of a person's identity, allowing it to be what we want"

You misunderstand what identity is. Your identity is not what you feel about yourself or how you think about yourself inside your own head. Look at your identity card. It lists the important details about you that OTHER people use to distinguish you from anyone else: your date of birth, your place of birth, your sex, your name. Inside your head you don't need a name, you're the only person in there. Your date of birth is irrelevant inside your head. Your identity is what other people agree on to say that you are this person and not that person. As such your identity absolutely doesn't allow you to be what you want, it is not your decision to make.

"People choosing their gender doesn't affect your life, so why do you care?"

I don't care how you present. I do care if you claim to actually be a woman, because that is objectively false, and misogynistic, and endangers women.

"Sex (or genitals) is indeed a biological reality, but its only importance is for when you want to have kids, else we don't give a damn about what's in people's pants."

There are lots of people who don't want to have kids but very much do care what is in the pants of people they want to have sex with or form emotional relationships with. The fact that you might not, should not be used to invalidate those people.

Could you consider the psychological violence to women of biological males harassing us in our supposedly safe spaces?

Could you consider the psychological violence to women of biological males competing in our sports category when they are physically much stronger than us, obviously winning all the trophies and making a mockery of our achievements?

Could you consider the psychological damage to children of telling them that they are in the wrong body, that they need to be sterilized and mutilated and medicated for the rest of their lives, which may not be long anyway since the drugs used to suppress puberty permanently damage their bones and cause other severe medical problems?

Could you consider the psychological damage to lesbians of telling them that they must date biological males or be banned and censored from their own spaces, doxed and receive death and rape threats?
