Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

Open to reconsider my views in light of good-faith counter-arguments but also willing to defend what’s right, even when it’s unpopular. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

Direct message

Nato without USA is still bigger military than Russia.

I’d rather lose my hearing than vision if those are the only two options, despite not actually wanting to lose neither - which is not an option.

If you’re using browser you can add this to your adblock custom filters. Just make sure the instance matches the one you’re using so incase of OP, replace lemm.ee with lemmy.world

lemm.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/Trump/i"))

Do you apply this same logic to Gaza considering their leadership?

Reddit says it was a Shahed drone. I can’t tell but seem to be missing the tail I’ve seen on most of the Ukrainian drones tho I neither can see the long nose that Shahed has.

I can’t imagine why they would have phones of any kind, let alone smartphones. If there’s any truth to this article I’d say it’s the Russians who went like ‘Oh, you’ve never seen porn before? Well check this out!’

I haven’t ever needed to wait. I go in, hand them my ID, they cross my name off the list, hand me the ballot, I go to the booth and write a number, dude stamps it, I drop it to the box and I’m out. Takes about 3 minutes from when I step out of my car untill I’m back in again.

That’s a really black and white way to look at it. These are complex issues. Any attempt to find a simple explanation to them is by definition going to be oversimplifying it massively.

the assumption that their compliments are all or mostly insincere

I disagree that this is being claimed here. Stereotypes don’t imply that everyone, or almost everyone in that group is like that.

I hope people realise that simulation theory doesn’t actually imply that someone is actively micromanaging the simulation. The point of a simulation kind of is to just let it run and see what happens.
