Yeah I started it and made it like 30 minutes in before I bailed because I loved the books. I’m sure it’s an entertaining watch in its own right but it’s hard to watch when you have expectations for the characters and story.

They can’t detain you even if they think you have stolen, though (from a store policy perspective). There’s a reason all these stores train employees “observe don’t interfere”.

As I mentioned, “from a store policies perspective”. The shrinkage isn’t worth the liability and risk for Walmart.

That’s immaterial to the statement you’re replying to - Women are more likely to cheat in relationships, so I guess it’s fair game now?

You’re batting 1 for 4 in sentences there bud.

How the fuck does cheating compare to violence?

Where did I say that?

If women incels talk shit and men incels shoot people, one is clearly worse than the other.

Yeah I agree, but that doesn’t mean that either are relevant to the conversation.

I have no stats to back this up because I’m not terribly interested in this topic

Your apathy is apparent.

However, I do defend my position that men are more likely to commit violence based on my own passive observations of news articles / headlines.

Correct, men are more likely to commit acts of violence. Would love to know where I disagreed with this.

Let me give you a quick recap of the thread so far:

1. “incel” was invented by a woman for herself
2. it’s safer to say negative things about men
3. men commit more acts of violence, so that’s fair
4. those two things (2 and 3) are unrelated, I can cherry pick some immoral statistic where women are worse than men, so using “immorality” as an argument is not material to the discussion
5. yeah but men commit more violence. Also, I don’t care about this at all which is why I instantly became disrespectful and started swearing.

You see the problem here? Black people in the US commit more acts of violence than white people in the US. That doesn’t mean we should use that as justification for being needlessly derogatory towards Black people. Also, you should probably reflect on that whole “I don’t care about this” thing. Have a good one, I’m muting replies.

Not even a commensurate increase in average remuneration since the 90s

That’s not true. Tankies love to shit on the US for “meddling” in Africa when a lot of the time its providing funding and weapons for regimes where the opponents are funded by Russia/Wagner/China. Depending on which way the wind blows, the US is either “overthrowing a legitimate regime” or “restoring the democratic process”.

It’s a no win. Africa is too weak to stabilize by itself after centuries of meddling, and if the US goes hands-off, Russia and China will just economically enslave them via predatory loans, like how neoliberal policies economically enslaved South/Central America to the US. I’d trust the US installed people for their own populace over Chinese/Russia installed people, given the respective human rights records of all involved.

Anyways, while 2003 onwards was a huge fuck up and absolutely abhorrent, Desert Shield/Storm was incredibly justified defending an ally under armed occupation and still gets shit on by Tankies.

One man’s humanitarian mission to shut down a warlord is another man’s mission to overthrow a regime and install US-friendly government.

TIL park rangers are “Biden admin”

These are the “right by accident” people that make it so hard to have meaningful discussions.

You’re absolutely correct and we shouldn’t ignore genuine acts of antisemitism just because Israel’s government is doing terrible things.
