It’s in the English language and they are all synonymous… it’s not up to the reader to decide. They are both demands and can be requested or directly ordered.
Just like it’s not up to the human race to decide if gender is the equivalent of sex or not. It has been for a long time.
That’s a fair point, but I also didn’t keep up with what was going on in the UK with covid as much, and I really don’t pay too much attention to their economy. So I don’t know how their numbers dipped and then came back or what they were even before covid hit.
I like ice-cream.
That’s a factual statement…to me.
Content is defined by what the reader can glean from it.
As much as I agree with your base sentiment in this thread. Your intentional warping of language makes me get “I live my own truth” vibes.
The Uk economy (this is where I live btw) is pretty awful atm. The conservatives mismanaged it horribly (look at Truss lol) and now we’re headed for a landslide labour win. Joe Biden’s popularity has dipped due to his management of the economy, but it’s definitely not as bad as in the UK, where there is near 100% certainty of a conservative defeat.
I’m so glad we moved from synonymous words to ice cream. It makes a lot of sense. I’m guessing you finally looked it up and found that you were wrong. Now it’s just a matter of attacking my character.
You’re arguing just to argue. I know, because I do it all the time.
I’m not the one talking about ice cream.
Remember?
I’m going to add that to my list of things to research, because I’ve heard that UK economy is one that is either super strong or free-falling, but I’m not educated enough on the subject to actually have a conversation about it.
Labour party is your equivalent of democrats, right?
They did indeed. And this time I am even more confused. Because the stuff that got axed wasn’t even in the slightest bit inflammatory, upsetting, or otherwise. Like, no one was having issues with it on either side… it just disappeared.
I think the mods just had enough of it, honestly.
They started axing a ton of Clams posts too, but I don’t know the full story on that either. She said something like 25+ of her posts had been flagged and removed.
And their username was changed. But it looks like they went ahead and bought a name change. Maybe they will keep it this time.
To equate what the south did 150 years ago and what happened on January 6th…is ignorant at best, disingenuous at worst. The Civil War had between 600,000-750,000 SOLDIER ONLY causalities, unknown amount of civilian causalities. January 6th had what, 5 or 6? -_-
It’s funny to me that the same people who would probably say our country has too many guns and MAGAs/Republicans are crazy for being so Pro-2A…would also believe that January 6th was a MAGA/Republican insurrection…where the only gunfire that happened was from the capital’s security. Come on, be real here.
Calling January 6th an insurrection while downplaying all the politically charged rioting that happened in 2020 is 100% political posturing.
Yes that’s mostly right, although i’d say for the past decade or so it’s been in freefall a lot more than super strong. And yeah. the labour party is our equivalent of democrats, though more left-wing. democrats are what would be considered centrist in the UK.
Yeah, I think she said she went through with it last night on one of her posts.
I just think it’s weird. Wasn’t horrible, so I don’t know who/how many people pitched a fit to get that to be changed.
It would only take one person. It’s not exactly a family friendly username. And they were just known as Player since earlier today.
I’d imagine governments all across the world roughly deal with the same thing, but I’ve just heard it’s extreme over there. Like, super extreme for a first world country.
So, you have 3 main party as opposed to 2? Labour, Centrist, and Conservatives?
It’s not that they’re not strict. It’s just that they’re more complicated than what most people understand about them.
I haven’t attacked your character in this discussion. I’d appreciate it if you paid me the same respect.
Complicated =/= not binary or spectrum
Computers are complicated but are entirely binary in operation.
No, always.
If a male has XX chromosomes, there’s something different about their XX chromosomes than ones typically found in females. Specifically, they have a male determinate gene locus in their X chromosome that’s usually found in Y. That’s where the binary actually lies.
It’s still binary. It’s just more complex than boiling it down to chromosomes. You’re getting lost in the complexity, and simply saying “it’s not binary” is your way of trying to make sense of that complexity.
It’s defined by something in the chromosomes, which I’ve said over three times by now.
That’s incorrect. It’s still binary, because it’s still determined by a specific genetic locus. Your confusion lies with the fact that a genetic locus that’s usually in a Y chromosome can occasionally be found in an X chromosome. That doesn’t make the determinant non-binary. It just makes the determinant more complicated.
It doesn’t need a cause to be binary.
If someone is asking a question, they can set the premise of the question however they like. The answer to the question may or may not be determined by variables outside of our control. But the premise of the question is not out of our control. To change the variables in the question is to change the question itself. But since I was the one asking the question, you changing my question isn’t a valid response.
For example, if you asked an Overwatch pro “how do I climb to Top 500” and their response is “You’re actually asking my how to climb in Valorant”, they are changing the premise of the question, which is not a valid response to your question.
1 + 1 is the question that was set forth as an example, and there’s a corresponding answer. For you to then retort with “The 1 is actually an X, and the other the Y”, you change the premise of the question being asked.
Yeah, but I thought Blizzard’s whole report system for their games was based on amount of reports received unless it was a claim of cheating? That’s just what I’ve heard though.
Well maybe it was never an issue until this person began lashing out in the community and had reports put in against them. Moderators don’t scan the forums for usernames or anything. They were probably reprimanded twice.
Both were attempts to ignore the democratic process. And I am more bringing up the civil war because of the statement that if the south/the republicans wanted to, they could overthrow the government. They tried, and failed. Obviously the two are not the same, but in either case they could not win, yet one shouldn’t say it wasn’t an attempt because of that.
The rioting in 2020 was just that, political rioting. It was a demand for change, yes, but not for an overthrow of government. And no, I don’t condone what was done then.
Ehh it’s not extreme, labour is fairly moderate. The country as a whole is more socialist than the US- even the conservatives support the NHS. certainly less extreme than countries like Italy, where there is a fascist party with a lot of support. Historically the UK has always had quite low levels of radicalism. To the UK, the republicans look quite like radicals.
As for the three main parties, kind of. There are the liberal democrats, the centrists, and they used to be one of the two largest parties, but labour replaced them about a century ago. They were still quite large until recently, when they formed a coalition with the conservatives and went back on their principles, which lost them most of their voter base.
