Division, but more in a conceptual sense than an operational one. Specifically, there must be more than one concept or object or entity to compare and transact to perform maths. You can do little with just ONE object/entity/concept/etc., but the moment you have two (aka more than one), mathematical operation only then becomes possible. Ergo, in order to carry out any sort of mathematics, I suggest that the operation of division is prerequisite.

And within a few short weeks I’m sure at least one kind entrepreneurial soul will join our fine community here to share a link to great one!

The simpler point is there’s a reason we needed equal rights amendments and civil rights acts and laws allowing white and black peoples or same sex couples to wed. Just saying we’re all equal doesn’t mean those currently in power ensure that’s so.

A great reshuffling is happening. What that ultimately means will be for historians to decide.

The history here seems relevant. Certain classes of people are considered “protected,” not privileged, and there’s good reason this had to be. For decades / centuries they were discriminated against merely for how they were born. It’s as if someone goes to the doctor for a broken arm and the doctor says, “All bones matter!” Well… yeah. Thx, Dr Einstein. Nobody disagrees with that lovely bumper sticker fitting platitude, but maybe we could focus right now on this broken one since that’s why I’m here? We agree all people deserve to be treated well and respectfully, but since so many of our fellow citizens can’t seem to get on board with that simple agreement, we need to take extra steps and actively ensure the protection is afforded. As noted earlier, some white men are mostly noticing the loss off their asymmetric privilege RELATIVE to the privilege thankfully now being experienced by their non-white non-male peers. That doesn’t however, mean that white men are actually losing any rights or facing any discrimination. They’re just enjoying less unearned benefit than before and relative to peers and noticing the difference. Many are mad that they can’t keep a job if they fail to perform or are angry that society now calls them out for saying nigger and faggot and retard and related epithets. Well boo fucking hoo, snowflake. Grow a pair and quit whining. (not directed at you, just commenting on society more broadly).

The US is sending now another BILLION dollars in military aid to Ukraine, bringing the total to $9B. Meanwhile, China continued exercises off Taiwanese waters and there’s more movement there than has been for decades.

I didn’t say it’s not a factor, but if 90% or more of the population is successfully breeding despite having the trait, then the evolutionary pressures asserted by that trait are minimal to nonexistent. Evolution selects only for the things which prevent breeding. Some people have extremely severe allergies, but they can still for the most part fornicate and sire offspring… and it’s FAR fewer than 1 in 10 who cannot… more like 1 in a few hundred thousand.

Oh, the sweet delicious irony.

Friendly hint: You just spent a few hours typing 4 or 5 long ranty posts where you essentially dig in your heels, move goalposts, and offer straw men and red herrings. That same time could’ve instead been used to post even one single example of the evidence you say is plentiful. Nobody has stopped you but yourself. Gosh. I wonder why that is.

Because not every disorder prevents you from successfully having offspring.

Like what? Even to this day, Ukraine isn’t part of NATO. On another note, Ukraine isn’t part of Zimbabwe. Do you equally think Zimbabwe should’ve done more to stop Putin from his illegal action on sovereign lands? It’s actually not. Do you know how I know? Because I’m the one who created it. Of course. Putin could’ve chosen NOT to send his troops and his tanks and his airplanes to kill Ukrainians and their children and steal their land. In much the same way, you could choose to use a normal font size when posting.

I never suggested otherwise. Wait, what now? Where are you alleging I’ve done this, exactly? Yes, please do because I’d never say something so self-evidently stupid and untrue.

The world is complex and complexity is stressful. Simple monolithic all-encompassing explanations and an ability to blame “others” like “the left” and “liberals” is VERY psychologically soothing. In many respects, it’s similar to the old maxim about religion being the opiate of the masses. Simple packaged narratives that (however false and however fictional and however untrue) make people feel better and less scared.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

So the civil war was started by white males to destroy… white males?!? 😂 😂 😂 I am so grateful to you for giving us this transparent view into how addled minds work and how broken so many people have become. It’s like studying chimps at the zoo.

Part of the answer here also involves exposure during childhood and how paradoxically our quest for increasingly antibacterial homes through powerful cleaning agents is making our immune system defenses less capable and us more prone to exaggerated response in the face of seemingly innocuous stimuli.

Technically, it’s both. The more money people have to spend, the higher prices shops and services can charge bc consumers will pay it. If you believe the current global inflation pressures are just from “handouts,” then you’re wrong. We’re about as close to full employment right now as we have been in nearly a century. Suggesting that this means schools aren’t needed to prepare workers to do those jobs is rather ludicrous. It’s also nonsequitur. Starving people and making their children homeless doesn’t exactly lead those people to becoming better employees. I’d laugh if this weren’t so pathetically sad. Yes, males… especially the white ones… have been marginalized and ill treated for far too long. I’m glad brave souls like you are finally willing to call out this discrimination. You’ve been conditioned to attack simplistic one-dimensional labels like “the left” and “liberals,” and because of this you remain ignorant of and in opposition to actual solutions to the problems we both agree exist. You’re attacking cartoons instead of building better futures.

I don’t know what his problem is, but I bet it’s hard to pronounce.

What generation does Forrest Gump belong to? Gen A

Lol. Indeed it was. My bad. Sorry for wasting your time. Mea culpa.

You’re clearly unmolested by enlightenment

This thread is about the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine and likely similar action of China into Taiwan. See above

Yawn. Add another to the hundreds of forgettable threads from forgettable trollish people.

Your view suggests that the best way to stop the bully from stealing your lunch and kicking your ass is to… keep giving him your lunch and not returning any strikes. “It’s her own fault I raped her, your honor. Did you see that skirt she was wearing?”

Bladesmiths! Your time starts… NOW!
