  1. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    You are still not making the case for why the sociocultural and the biological are the same thing. Gender and sex are related but they are not the same. Gender refers to the sociocultural and sex refers to the biological. Keeping the sociocultural and biological as two separate concepts helps...

  2. Last Game/Match Watched?

    NRL Grand Final the Eels went down to the Panthers 28 - 12. Panthers were too good and simply outplayed them. Eels didn't even play bad, had a few chances to score but that defense from the Panthers was next level. As much as I wanted the Eels to win, the better team definitely took out the...

    NRL Grand Final!! Eels vs the Panthers!! Go go go the Eels!!

  4. Healthy 75-Year-Old Ends Her Life So She Won't Grow Old

    Fair point, you are correct to call me out on that. It wasn't intentional on my part, but I was doing it. The problems with this are that it is drastically at odds with the socialist agenda and secondly we live in a capitalist world. So whatever the socialist agenda is, won't have any direct...

  6. Cuba passes sweeping reforms with new family code

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/9/26/cuba-overwhelmingly-approves-same-sex-marriage-in-referendum The Cuban government have recently passed legislation which introduces a sweeping new family code. Not only is this legislation promising for how progressive it is when it comes to advancing...

  7. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    Currently we have gender referring to the sociocultural and sex referring to the biological. You are making the case that instead of having gender refer to the sociocultural it should also refer to the biological. How is this an improvement? Your replies to me in this thread itself demonstrate...

  8. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    You have still not demonstrated why gender is an invalid term. I also note, yet again, that gender and sex are not the same thing. Gender refers to the sociocultural and sex refers to the biological. Furthermore you have yet to demonstrate why having two different words referring to the...

  9. Last Game Played

    Skyrim Anniversary Edition, it will be my second proper time playing through it. Will go much better this time, as last time was on PS3 and I had to stop because the lag and freezing made it unplayable.

  10. Favorite Console or PC

    I think I do have a preference for Playstation since I have been gaming on Playstation consoles since their initial one. It does tend to be the one I prefer to play as well. Although I do love my Switch and gaming PC.

  11. The Modern Republican Flag....

    To be fair, they do a pretty good job at standing for their corporate donors. Both Democrats and Republicans.

  12. DeSantis Compares Colombian Presidential Results To "Marxism In Western Hemisphere"

    On the surface level without a deep delve it looks like this could be quite a promising turn of events. Relations between Venezuela and Colombia have been restored and the border between them reopened. Ideally this will see closer ties between the two South American states. The ideal of a more...

  13. Composting people now legal in California.

    How does that have more dignity than what they are going to start offering? As neither of the options strike me as particularly egregious. It is just surprising to me that one has dignity to you and the other doesn't. Whereas they seem quite similar to me.

  14. Healthy 75-Year-Old Ends Her Life So She Won't Grow Old

    It isn't a matter of which variant of capitalism we have in any given instance as the logics of capitalism are themselves corrupting. Attempts to control capitalism will only result in the reverse happening with capitalism controlling those seeking to moderate it. We have seen this time and time...

  15. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    That's fair enough. At this point it is almost like we have a dozen or so different conversations going within the same thread. Not to mention your ongoing replies to other members. For this reply I will reduce it to four major points of contention that I have. The first point is that you have...

  16. Healthy 75-Year-Old Ends Her Life So She Won't Grow Old

    No, definitely not in the sense that you are implying. Capital and society are often at odds with each other, with the logics of capitalism actively harming and undermining society. The predominant focus on increasing productivity over human needs and alternative values inflicts psychological...

  17. UN: LGBTQ Equality In America "Not Within Reach"

    This does nothing to establish that gender is an invalid term. Our point of contention is whether or not sex and gender are different. Therefore the existence of the word sex does nothing to refute the term gender. Sex refers to the biological and gender refers to the sociocultural. The...

  18. Chit Chat Zone

    Haha he would annoy me in other ways. OH did he ever. But, nah, it was all in fun. Haha fair enough. I think this past week I had 3 or 4 failed attempts at coffee making. Mostly boil the jug, forget I boiled it until hours later. Then wonder where my coffee is.

  19. Chit Chat Zone

    Hahaha he surprisingly never did. This was about a decade or so ago now. Still friends with him, although we talk less since he moved to Australia. You are so very welcome! :hug: Bahaha, I didn't even think of that as a possibility before reading your reply. To be so focused. You have the mind...

  20. Chit Chat Zone

    My work has been quite inconsistent with offering shifts. They seem to go through phases when they will or won't allow it. I was declined the first time I requested it. Which might have been Karma, since when a friend was pressured into doing ten hour shifts I was giving him updates on his first...
