The masculine part is that a man saw a need that a member of his group had, a need for support and empathy, and he provided it despite the possible cost to his own ego.

A toxic male builds himself up, a real man builds up his community. A toxic male displays his strength for show, a real man uses his strength to protect those weaker than them.

Fixing isn’t masculine, women can fix things and not be manly. Sports aren’t masculine, women play sports for fun and competition

Please read my comment again, slowly, instead of making up your own ideas of what you think I meant.

Wut?

I said it applies to a lot, and I mean a lot, of people in office. I didn’t even say the US.

Also, what’s the leap in logic there?

Supporting a (despicable trait) person doesn’t automatically make you a (despicable trait) person, but it does make you someone who thinks there’s a level of excuse for (despicable trait)

As an example, when a known, unrepentant sexual predator runs for a high government office, anything other than “no, they are an evil person” is quiet support of their behavior.

It’s much worse when the support is vocal and strong, it means their behavior is acceptable because they agree on other points.

“Oh sure, he raped/abused people/kids, but he really stands up for free-speech/gun rights/lower taxes/lower crime/healthcare.”

It doesn’t matter, their actions and choices have fundamentally shown they are evil, and are not doing anything to atone.

The fact that my statement applies to SO MANY people in office is just devastating.

This is how my dad taught me, and when I pointed out that February wasn’t 30 days he looked at me and asked in an almost furious tone “Are you ever going to forget that February has it’s own thing going on?”

Nope, not anymore dad, I remember it forever.

“4 weeks sober after 10 years of crippling alcoholism” beer.

You said ‘hits different,’ not ‘good hits different.’

Well I was born in the 90’s and they weren’t around then so it tracks.

Gemini: Your observation is correct! Steel is heavier than feathers so a kilogram of steel is heavier than 20 bricks of feathers. They both weigh the same.

Let’s explore more about weight and densities

On the one hand, I’m proud that my son does this,. On the other hand, I need him to empty his pockets before they go in the wash, because even with a pre-wash check we only have an 80% success rate.

Jou’re a liitle short for a EstormTrooper cabron.

“No baby, it’s not small, it just needs to be CRISPIER”

You used to, until you subconsciously realized self medicating was somewhat helpful, and it became a routine after weeks of reinforcement, and now it would take months to undo.

they probably aren’t even friends

You don’t know either, all we can do is use our best judgement.

If someone’s name pops up 3 times in 4 million documents, I would give the benefit of the doubt, but if somebody has been to ‘Rape Island’ 30 times then I’m going to cut ties with them, their business, and anybody who says ‘YoU dOn’T kNoW for SuRe’

Too many people forget that “Innocent until proven guilty” is for the law, not for ethics.

My ethics tell me that if you’re not blatantly denouncing a child rapist, you are not a good person.

My online friend lists have been through the chopping block recently, a good society must have intolerance for the intolerant and devious.

There’s zero excuse for an adult to sexually assault a child, or to have known and kept the secret.

“ThEy’rE not PedOPhiLeS ThEy JuSt ARe FriENdS with MaNY Of tHeM DaS Not ThE sAmE”

If you know they’re terrible people, and you continue to have connections to them then you’re either terrible also, or an enabler.

Any person who was over 20 years old who sexually assaulted any person under 15 years old, and ANY WHO KNEW IT and didn’t shout it from the mountaintops deserves to die, or rot in a hole.

Science without morals and ethics leads to amazing developments, but often misguided or twisted understanding, and unbridled human suffering.

It’s not enough to be a good scientist, one must also be a good person. The people involved with Epstein are UNREPENTANTLY evil. These are not people who are in the “grey” like a leper who was an untouchable or a murderer who killed unintentionally and regrets it their whole life. A true scientist doesn’t need the law to tell them that someone is highly likely to be a monster when the evidence is mounting. Rather they would chase the evidence and do their best to make a decision based on the most logical outcome.

A good scientist who is also a good person must work to excise this toxicity from the scientific community.

Also, Budda and Jesus? A terrible bad faith argument, I can’t dignify that with anything other than dismissal

“Good. I was too lazy to tick one box in settings while being lazy at work. Now I can be a lazy prude and put more time into this comment than it would have taken to fix the problem on my own without blasting on the internet that I’m negligent and incompetent.”

I fixed your comment, no worries.

Those look like Retro Encabulators
