Trolls R Us redux [Now the argument clinic]

You overestimate your ability to inspire any emotion beyond mild contempt tinged with pity.

Well, I’m impressed. Particularly about the baby! That shit is no joke.

That is not helping. Poor Americans, your government really sucks.

:+1: (we need a saluting emoji).

Why do you have so many i’s anyway, andy?

I’ve shared the story of my username before on this board… it’s way, way more boring than you can imagine.

:laughing: How to impress women:

:x: serve on nuclear submarine
:heavy_check_mark: take care of baby

It does indeed in many ways. But at least, among some other potentially hopeful signs, our government is now perhaps beginning to make some real advances in upholding the rights of transgender people.

And that shows that in the end you spectacularly missed one ongoing point I made in past threads, It was pointed by the ones you supported that most Asians were against affirmative action, besides the appeal to popularity being a fallacy as you recognize here now, the overall picture shows that in California the defeat of the latest proposition was likely due to a confusing proposition.

There was also the continuously denied elephant in the room, a lot of the oxygen administered to the efforts against using a weak version of affirmative action in the colleges came from the support of the former racist in chief. Under that it was really asinine to claim that it was the supporters of the colleges position of using race as one factor for accepting students the ones being racist.

Don’t tell me then, I’ll imagine something better.

Still waiting for the puppy kicking…

And one other thing Demontree said about me earlier:

“rational, if sometimes terrifying” seems a bit different than “devastatingly feeble” to me; YMMV.

:smiling_face: As the new parent of a ten-month old, that one just resonated. The submarine thing is pretty cool too. Well, not the crashing part.

Thank you! Luckily, I wasn’t on watch during the crashing. I was asleep and almost thrown out of my bunk. Those who were on watch at the time were subsequently fired.

For me too. Babies are hard work!

I have 2 daughters. I’ve changed hundreds of diapers, maybe over a thousand. I’ve lost so much sleep when they were babies. My oldest is a teenager now so I expect I’ll lose even more sleep for different reasons. Being a dad (or any kind of parent or caregiver to a child) is no joke. It sucks a lot but at the same time it’s the best thing in the world.

What did it crash into? Was it the land? :joy:

I could never work on a submarine, much too claustrophobic. Is it true you have to share a bunk and sleep in shifts?

Out a torpedo tube, one hopes.

A 50,000 ton Turkish freighter.

Junior enlisted sometimes have to share a bunk and sleep in shifts, but I had the good fortune and privilege to be an officer.

Careless.

Doesn’t sound very pleasant. Why did you want to join the military anyway? Seems kinda out of character.
