When I lived in the Netherlands people would ask “Do you really cycle in the rain and wind?”
Now when I am in FL they go “Do you really cycle in this heat?”
The real question is why most people don’t ask about driving 0.5 mile to get bread in a pickup truck.
@vorganicpotato2@schachbox@ahumblecabbage thats a different conversation. we're talking about organizing events, not helping your friends out during their bad times
@Tektonxx@natalia_barbour Your statement was "Roads are for cars" about which you also said "It's a fact". I gather you're willing to rescind those now?
@Tektonxx@natalia_barbour Does it matter? I wasn't the one trying to argue that roads are linked to a particular mode of transportation, last time I checked
A school district in Pennsylvania approved nearly $9,000 ‘to cut windows into the ‘gender-identity’ student bathrooms so passerby can look inside’ yorkdispatch.com/story/opinion/…
@Tektonxx@natalia_barbour Actually it's far from a fact, but even if it were, surely a statement of fact is not the same an argument? Do you think, as one example, that the Romans were just very prescient, preparing for the advent of the car some 2000 years ago?
@DanStreetmenti2@Aaronbu17113854@Mark1957@implausibleblog I was just reminding you that all of these people can be considered the descendants of Sem. I think you should welcome the stranger in your land, especially if you were once strangers in the land of Egypt
Lady with blonde hair, "The previous Conservative government and the current Labour government have not held Israel to account at all" #BBCQT
"They continue to say Israel has a right to defend itself, but not hold any sort of boundaries to that whatsoever"
"And now its progressing to three or four countries all across the middle east"
"When does defend yourself end? How many countries is Israel going to bomb before you finally stop selling arms to them?
Ursula von der Leyen, where was your condemnation of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and invasion of Lebanon?
People aren’t blind. Stop pretending to care about human rights when you represent everything that is rotten in this EU establishment.
@Eluvyel@ErinInTheMorn So experimental treatment just like the nazis did like in ww2. Also trans actually don't need hot medicines. Also, I never said I hated gays. You're the one who twisted it. All trans is self-Multination
1. In a horrifying sign for transgender care in the United Kingdom, multiple NHS officials tasked with trans care in the UK have decided to speak alongside conversion therapists at an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group conference.

@KeyAlifi@cyrus_razavi@HenMazzig They're too dumb to be scared. They still don't know they were bodies and human shields for their terrorist regimes at best. Our unity is gonna wake them up soon.

We’re home in Israel. Maybe it’s time to accept we’re here to stay.
@eith1n@Aaronbu17113854@Mark1957@implausibleblog There is no connection whatsoever between Semites and antisemitism which refers specifically to the hatred of Jews
Are butterflies made of butter Eithin?
@mcneilwillson There’s nothing “colonial” about it as it fails to meet the definition of colonialism on any level. And yes it’s justified self defense after 8000 rockets fired by Hezbollah. Stop lying. Your days will always fail as long as it’s based on LIES
This is Beirut now. Just like the West Bank a few hours ago. Just like Gaza every night.
This is not “counterterrorism”
This is not “self defence”
This is colonial violence, done across the Middle East with the support of western governments, and should be called out as such.
@esjesjesj They literally advocate for a policy which expands educational choice (homeschooling), which is something the online left have started to vehemently oppose
This is a free speech position.
Opposing what government schools teach students is also congruent with free speech
