Suitcase nuke FTW.
You just keep retreating ever further down the rabbit-hole, don't you?
OMFG, he's turned into RomanMir.
Nice knowin' ya, Smitty, when you were still you.
Kindly go fuck yourself.
You can buy a thousand acres in Canada for pocket change and walk through the woods for an entire day without seeing another living person. So what's stopping you? You're not doing it because you don't want to. And same goes for everybody else, including Canadians.
Why should anyone want to do this? And how much have you yourself purchased? Oh, really? Why not?
The problem is not freedom of speech, or lack thereof. The problem is people who think they have the right to say anything that pops into their heads and not be held responsible for the consequences.
Parading in front of the Capitol chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" and putting up a gallows has nothing to do with freedom of expression, and everything to do with communicating threats.
Claiming that Trump won the 2020 election when he clearly didn't has nothing to do with freedom of expression and everything to do with making false statements.
So you're championing a supposed freedom to make threats and tell lies, and yet not be held accountable for them.
Why?
"I'm SuperKendall and I must prove I'm an irresponsible idiot" is an acceptable answer.
They want to stop driving to an office every goddamned day.
They want to be more productive by sitting behind a computer for 8-10 hours instead of knocking off after 7 hours because they face 2.5 hours in Seattle traffic every day.
Being in an office is much less productive for most tech workers.
Being behind a windshield is completely unproductive for anyone who isn't a bus driver, garbage man, concrete truck, etc...
You don't have this problem in places where viable public transport is a thing, and thus you can leave the driving to the driver while you look out the window, read, or even... perish the thought... get some work done. Even better, about 90% of your monthly spending on transportation... simply goes away.
It's bad enough that Switzerland isn't remaining neutral...
Who told you that? Switzerland has made it very clear it's remaining neutral--e.g. no no shipping arms through its territory to the war zone.
He once read Lysistrata and now considers himself to be thoroughly educated thereby.
That's some incel level bullshit. Men and women fight for all sorts of reasons, and (straight) women clearly do have an interest in men. Decent men, not misogynists.
You are projecting your ideas and values unto others. Women are clearly interested in jerks.
Not all women are Melania Trump.
Women enter relationships for any variety of reasons. Just like men--at least, the men who don't blame women for not wanting to sleep with them.
Congratulations, you've just washed out of "Spot The Ringer" in the first round.
It's really unfortunate that reality messes up the "pox on both houses" thing that you so love doing.
ProTip: You do have choices. None of them may be ideal, but that does not make all of them equally undesirable. Claiming that they are so is an excuse not to choose and to push your let's-just-do-nothing narrative instead.
I'm Zontar The Mindless In The Morning, and you heard it first, right here on KGFY.
Gaslighting does not become you.
It was interesting while it lasted, Smitty, but we're done.
