@CotidianoBsAs Adjectives refer to a lot of things, but they don't change the meaning of the noun - women are women, whether they are tall, short, trans, brunette, cis or any other adjective
English
"'Tall woman' describes a subset of men. If they were actually women, the word 'tall' wouldn't be there."
J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling
@CaraPac46808618 'Trans woman' describes a subset of men. If they were actually women, the word 'trans' wouldn't be there.

@durbunumnerede @pegobry_en Every blue collar place I've worked is super loud. I have to stop work, and leave the immediate area to even hear a voice note or make a phone call. Everybody texts.
English
@pegobry_en this is people trying to communicate in ways that are easy. every blue collar I know or worked with are into voice memos because those people work with their hands
it's convenience. you're trying to use verbal warfare tactics employed by the rich to make incorrect implications
English
Civilized people hate voice notes because they’re inherently rude. A voice note is easy to send but hard to receive, since one must interrupt oneself and listen. To send someone a voice note is to say "My time is more valuable than yours." It’s insulting.

Why, apparently, do British people hate voice notes? Brazil lives on them - and they're so useful
English
@sunblaze1480 @pegobry_en "Imagine complaing about having to type a text. You really hate other humans I guess, that you can't fathom dedicating 20 seconds to type."
See how that works. The burden of being considerate lies on the sender not the receiver.
English
@pegobry_en Imagine complaining about having tojsten to a 20 sec voice note. You really hate other humans I guess, that you can't fathom dedicating 20seconds.

@PhilDixon190731 @ThomasWillett9 Hey babe, it’s an adjective if it’s used as an adjective. That’s how language works.
English
Imagine hating trans people this much that you, as one of the most celebrated writers, deny the basic grammatical fact that ‘trans’ is an adjective.
Transphobia truly rots the brain.
J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling
Trouble is, 'trans' isn't an adjective. 'Trans woman' is a compound noun meaning 'man who wants to be considered a woman.' If the individual being described isn't trans, he's simply a man, whereas a bespectacled woman remains a woman even if she's not wearing glasses.

@jk_rowling So tall women arent women? Black women? Oh, hold on, that doesnt work. Seems like adjectives have no impact on whether or not someone is a woman and you’re just a hateful piece of shit. Funny that
English
@jk_rowling @CaraPac46808618 How are you an author when you don’t know how adjectives work?
English
@LondoSpark @jk_rowling @CaraPac46808618 Paper money, digital money, counterfeit money. See how an adjective can modify a noun to not actually be that thing?
English
@jk_rowling @CaraPac46808618 Wrong again. Ginger women are women, yet the word ginger is there

English
@jk_rowling @CaraPac46808618 “Trans” is an adjective babes, like “blonde woman”, “tall woman”. Is a blonde woman not a woman because of the word blonde? Are “tall women” a subset of men? I thought you were a writer and thus had a sense of how adjectives and nouns work? Bit silly, Joanne.

English
@jk_rowling @CaraPac46808618 You are a published author, how the fuck does basic adjective modification elude your grasp
Oh, must be the black mold rotting your brain

@uncledoomer Are we ignoring that they're trying to replace NEET with fucking NILF??
English
more than 60% of that 100 mil is retirees. demographics are the most telegraphed macro force imaginable. in 1945, there were 40 workers paying the social security of every one retiree. now there are 3. once gen Z reaches critical political mass, the gravy train stops for boomers
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: America’s "NILF" population — Not in Labor Force — surges by 832,000 to a record 105.8 million.

@Doubtfulsprout @pothosboyceanus What else would you call 'not having sex with your partner purely to see their reaction' other than withholding?
English
@pothosboyceanus You're a gay man, please sthu.
"Withholds sex" You gotta get slimed.
English
@Muni4evs @single_sig_onpa @pothosboyceanus You'll notice it said "stop having sex" and not "get into a car crash so you can't have sex"
English
@single_sig_onpa @pothosboyceanus It just said stop having sex. No one said do a test. You can stop having sex for any reason.
English
@kianthequark This thread is full of people who can't read. Literally says "in West Africa". Obviously you can source it without child labour elsewhere. He's literally partnered with Tony's.
English
This is so funny when you remember Tony’s chocolate exists
So who’s lying here them or Jimmy?
_Chase😈@Ankara_inc
MrBeast says he was shocked to learn there was no way to pay extra for child labor free cocoa in West Africa “I asked everyone involved in sourcing cocoa, ‘Is there any way I can pay a premium and not have little kids work on my farm?’ And it literally didn’t exist.” “I was just so mind blown. It was frustrating because not only did it not exist, no one really seemed to even think it needed to exist.” “I was like, ‘These are kids. You have no issue making billions of dollars in profit while little kids are working on the farms?’ It was a very weird thing.”
English
@dripgrillionair @Australis_Felix I dunno man, there's alot more things that require a WWCC than just childcare or specifically working with kids. You'd probably wind up with more people being arrested for UK style thought crimes than being a danger to kids.
English
@JC_Sweaty @Australis_Felix The WWCC only singles out those with a record. There’s no way it can filter out those who are under the radar.
Is it worth letting children get hurt so we don’t discriminate against men? I’d say yes but will politicians open that can of worms?
English
Sorry fellas but if you as a man even apply to work in a childcare role you should be put in a list and AFP immediately search all your electronic devices. Just the way it is. All non-pedos will be ok with this.
Econo ad absurdam@econoadabsurdam
@lowlandsapien Back in the old days we viewed any grown man who wanted to work with little kids with extreme suspicion, and while that rule might have been sexist and demeaning, there was a very good reason why we came up with it
English
I’d give you the data that shows male violence a/g women is a men’s issue not a cultural, class or religious one. But a waste of time. In manosphere men must be centred as its victims & saviours. Women as “needing to be saved” from non - white men, by you, who are the worst 🚩men
English
@Brocklesnitch @Chloepaige2011 Men make up 50% of the population and have killed 27 women. Trans make up <1% of the population. One trans person killing one woman makes them statistically outpace men in femicide.
English
@Chloepaige2011 again, a handful of examples that you are able to show actually proves how small the issue is. i would not be able to show you all of the stories of men killing their partners. you are small minded
English
Four women and girls killed in Australia in the last four days, 27 women murdered so far this year - any TERFs speaking up about this? Any so called feminists out for the protection of women interested in this or nah too busy harassing trans people about where they piss
English
@CarrotFlavored @timj1994 @ChrisRGun @ShitpostRock No you're confusing 'ending a life' and 'murder'. Societies across time and to this day often have very different permission structures on which circumstances allow you to kill another human being. Some have a very low bar and are very permissive. Are they wrong and why?
English
@timj1994 @ChrisRGun @ShitpostRock Ending a life is what makes it wrong, you turd. People knew this long before christianity was around, and it was enforced by whatever societies formed.
English
@Spoogymonkey @Kintakus The logical arguments boiled down to; disease, its gross, or you shouldn't have sex with things you can't procreate with.
Cool, good to know Atheists and Christians share the same position on homosexuals.

The number of people I see totally misunderstanding this post is very concerning.
He's not advocating for fornicating with roadkill.
He's not advocating for giving up morality.
He's not even SAYING atheists DO do these things.
It's very simple: If you are not religious, why is it "wrong" to do this? He is asking you to, through the use of logic, explain where you get your "right" and "wrong" from.
And it's very easy to answer it!
"I don't believe in a universal morality, so it is not 'wrong' in that sense, but it is disgusting and abhorrent because of the exposure to disease. It also makes the person participating disgusting because they are not only made a potential carrier of that disease, but because it makes them the type of person that has no disgust response, so their character is of someone dangerous to themselves and others."
If you are incapable of introspecting and articulating your beliefs, you do not have beliefs. You are not an atheist; you are simply not religious. You are running on instinct, and it reflects in your posts when you get mad for being asked to explain something.
Rock Solid@ShitpostRock
The best logical fallacy to give an atheist when discussing morals is to ask them why it's morally wrong to have intercourse with roadkill It's dead it will not feel anything, nobody will know and there are no victims If you ask a Christian or Buddhist why it's morally wrong, they will tell you it's because the body retains inherent dignity as part of God's creation (or the sacred flow of life), and desecrating it violates divine/natural order, harms your soul/karma, and shows disrespect, even if no one feels it or knows An atheistic worldview of this question taken to its extreme, concludes that intercourse with roadkill is tantamount to masturbation and nothing more
