Genocide is bad, but apparently genocide isn’t bad enough to take a simple action that will prevent it getting worse.

“If you don’t vote for my guy, regime will fuck Palestinians even harder, do you want more blood on your hands?”

Pathetic argument,

That was literally your argument: https://lemmy.ca/post/28969976/11652757

Never said they would. But realistically you have to acknowledge that a third party candidate has no chance of winning this election. If your only concern is Palastine then not voting for Harris actively makes things worse for the people in Palastine, even if Harris is not doing enough to help them. Your options are bad, or worse.

If you’re trying to build support for third party candidates for future elections then don’t give me any bullshit about Palastine, because that will not help them in any way.

“I am concerned about the genocide in Palestine, so I am going to take actions that will clearly make things much worse for the people in Palestine because that is the ethical thing to do!”

News that Republicans are actively helping 3rd party candidates so that people voting for them will help Republicans win.

let me keep doing the same thing while expecting a different result 🤡

Says the people who keep voting 3rd party in federal elections and are certain that this time the result will be different.

The difficult steps in FTL are no joke. I was having no difficulty clearing on easy and was just trying to unlock all the ships. Once I did I switched to normal and had to restart 3 times before getting out of the first sector.

I’ve been taking part in the beta, as far as Steam is concerned me and my friends are a thrupple. Works pretty well, other family member’s games just show up in your library. Haven’t had any issues, Steam will tell you if your copy is in use by a family member and you either play something else or ask them to quit.

You are making the mistake of assuming only one thing can be done at a time, and if everyone is not focused on “the most important thing” at all times then it is inefficient. This is not only untrue, it causes nothing to progress because nobody can agree on what the “most important thing” is.

Things can be worked on in parallel. While a group works on how to best address homelessness, another group can address LGBT issues while yet another group tackles environmental protection.
You can’t just throw everyone on a single problem or it becomes less efficient. Sure, 2 people can sweep the floor faster than 1 person, but if you try to get 100 people sweeping the floor in order to “prioritize it and get it done faster” it’s going to be a nightmare and never get finished.

Having one person sweep the floors, another clean the windows, another do the dishes, another do the laundry, another make dinner, another wash the dog, another mow the lawn, another tidy the living room, etc. Is going to have the house clean and in shape a lot faster than if you have all those people make dinner (because dinner is the most important) and then have everyone mow the lawn, only after the lawn is finished have everyone do the laundry…

And all of this ignores the fact that I am not in government. I cannot meaningfully address the homelessness issue. I can stand up for the rights of trans people.
Maybe I could form a group to try to find the most effective methods of addressing homelessness and send our findings to the government. Okay, once we’ve done that now what? Government takes time, homelessness still exists, I guess we double check our research? Yup, research still looks good, our findings still stand. Guess we’ll send that to the government as well. But there’s still homelessness and homelessness is more important that human rights. (Sorry, trans rights. Trans rights are less important because there are less of them and neither you nor I are trans.) So seeing as homelessness still exists and is more important I guess we triple check the research? I’m pretty sure it’s right, but homelessness isn’t over so we can’t spend any amount of effort on something else because that would be inefficient.

If you go somewhere that smells like shit: that place smells like shit.
If everywhere you go smells like shit: Check your shoe for shit.

If everyone is “literally too stupid to understand the entire point” then you are literally too stupid to articulate your point.

The people around me think OP is an idiot. I guess I can just state that the people around me call OP a hateful bigot and leave it at that.

I didn’t say it, the people I work with think it, so I don’t actually have to defend or take responsibility for posting it.

“I’m not making an argument. I’m just making a statement that disagrees with your argument and claiming it is true. I will take no further questions because I will not actually try to defend what I’ve said. Other people said it.”

Republicans want minorities to die.

Democrats don’t want minorities to die, but are less effective than I would like.

Shit I got banned from steams Halls of Torment forums by a trans for saying I did not want identity politics in the games I play.

I’ve played Halls of Torment. It’s a Vampire Survivors style game (pick a character, kill hordes of mobs). Where the hell did you find identity politics in it? Does the “back story” of a character on a wiki say they are trans or something?

“Trans people need to stop being in my face by acknowledging that trans people exist if I go looking into the extended backstory that isn’t part of the game at all!!!”

Trans rights are human rights.

Advocating for human rights shouldn’t require a mathematical calculation of how many humans are affected.

But the output of AAL is useful and desired.

I used to clean the ice cream machines, other than large flow over the black tubes on the right that’s pretty normal for how they look when you open them up.
