It could also be resolved by everybody agreeing to be responsible for the toilet when they go to use it.

Don’t get me wrong. When I have female company, I do my best to leave the seat down.

I’ve only ever been chided on the issue once or twice in my life.

In my opinion it’s on you to make sure the bathroom is ready for you when you go to use it.

There is another

Creeper no creeping

The only people I’ve ever seen able to do that had a prosthetic leg.

Five convictions for inciting hate against Muslims.

Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to post AI slop will eventually be flooded by actual ai slop enjoyers who mistakenly believe that they’re in good company.

Probably his wife and children, too.

And I wouldn’t be too surprised if occasionally he goes out to recreationally hunt the homeless.

I don’t really care for their food.

To me, their meat has a smell that is very reminiscent of canned wet dog food.

But I have no problem with other people like it, so you do you

No, this is “no stupid questions”

“I should be allowed to mock you, but you shouldn’t be allowed to do anything about it” < your words

Isn’t not giving Dave Chappelle money or time or attention the grand sum of things that you can do about his stance without violence?

I think you and I have had interactions elsewhere on Lemmy, and typically they’re very antagonistic and I don’t know why that is.

I earnestly try to be a reasonable person and to express my views without judgment of other people.

I do this in hopes that debate produces something positive, but from what I remember, typically, no matter what I say to you, your response is to exacerbate the argument rather than resolve it.

Sometimes other people have views that do not mesh with yours, yet they are not your enemy.

I know trans people. I have trans friends. I live in a very progressive area by choice. I have gone to protests to protect women and trans people alike.

I am an ally, and if you think that me believing or having a reason to believe that Dave Chappelle is also an ally makes me not an ally, then that’s pretty much the end of the conversation, right?

Are you suggesting violence as an appropriate response to his commentary?

Have you encountered anyone who has been emboldened to commit either emotional or physical crimes against another person because of something Dave Chappelle has said or done?

If so, then I’m more than willing to change the way I view his schtick, but I cannot find any correlation between an increase in any sort of hurt or violence towards trans people, and anything Dave Chappelle has said or done.

I think he’s serving as a pressure release valve for the people who have never encountered a trans person (who was not masking their transness) or who have suddenly been thrust into the realization that the world contains trans people and don’t know how to cope with it.

Therefore I feel like the things that he says have an overall net positive effect on the way trans people are treated, even though he himself looks and sounds like a piece of shit saying it and that he offends trans people when he says it.

None of his kids are genetically his as far as I know.

I’ve heard rumors that he was either physically or chemically castrated to keep his beautiful, pure singing voice.

If that is the case, then it would kind of explain how fucked up he is, or how fucked up he was.

I honestly think that he is a subversive ally.

Like, the things that he says, the way that he says them pisses off trans people and gets the anti-trans people on his side.

But then he also preaches a philosophy of live and let live, do whatever the fuck you want to do, just leave me alone and let me live my life, which also goes to his enemies.

So there are probably people who have transphobia, who like Dave Chappelle, who leave trans people alone, or quickly identify themselves to trans people by making a Dave Chappelle joke or reference, and therefore, incidentally, protect trans people from interacting with people that might otherwise do bad things to them.

I could be wrong. He might just be an asshole. He probably is an asshole either way. I’m not a stan for him, but that’s the vibe that I get from his whole act.

And when he acts shitty towards somebody, he does it publicly, where he himself can also receive the backlash from what he is doing.

He’s not attempting to build a reputation as being a nice guy or a thought leader or anything. He is getting shit done, and anyone that’s got a problem with it or him can either go do it better than him or stfu

Its wild that you can od on pure coke for less than the cost of 64gb of ram

And in the rare case where they do not forgive the debt and you do not pay, at some point they write it off for the tax break.

I’m sure they write it off at the original invoiced amount without any discounts so that their tax deduction for you not paying is probably equal to or greater than what they would have made had you paid it.

One fun aspect of having open cities on a gas giant would be that you could have storms where the heavier potentially poisonous gases from the lower sections of the planet could be spun up by stellar activity and wash over everything so everyone would have to evacuate indoors during the storms.

Perhaps they could be there for mining where the heavier elements in gaseous form are lower down so they send down scouters and whatnot to scoop them up.

There could also be theoretical, lost alien technology hiding inside of it, or the gas planet could have formed over a shell that contains a black hole, so the core of the planet could have a very small, pebble-sized black hole with one mile schwartzchild radius or something.

Might be interesting, lots of opportunities to use the environment for storytelling.

If you’re from the Midwest, that’s how you get cornbred.

Apparently I’m wrong.

The only thing that I can find that’s even close is that that is a rough estimate of how many grains of sand there are on the planet.
