Let’s say I come to where you work with a bunch of other people waving flags that say “Fuck MrWowiezowie” would you:

Kinja is a broken mess. I was ungrayed on Gizmodo, then later for some reason only ungrayed on Earther, then got completely grayed out.

Did you intentionally skip over the rest of the text you quoted? The one about adding choice?

“Westerners shocked that Asians still have more conservative and biased gender views!”

It’s not xenophobic. At best you could say its ethnocentric. But even then cultural relativism only goes so far. We are allowed to disagree with aspects of other cultures we disagree with. It’s not xenophobic to think the Taliban’s treatment of women is wrong.

It might be a product from a different culture, but that doesn’t mean it is immune to criticism from other cultures. Cultural relativism is fine and all, but it isn’t going to make me accept things that I disagree with, for example the Saudi habit of executing homosexuals. And before you get all indignant, no I’m not…

What kind of idiotic comparison is this? We are in the middle of a pandemic and the best way to combat it is for everyone that is eligible and able to get a vaccine. A vasectomy? Jesus Christ. You know who shouldered their civic responsibilities with grace? The medical workers trying to save lives that all got…

We have all those things too. They used all those things liberally during the G20 protests in Toronto.

“Their double standard in how they treat people on the left vs. right could not be more naked. I just wish they’d come out and admit it.”

There is no gotcha there since no one is being forced to take the vaccine. The truckers can either comply with the regulation at both sides of the border or they can stick to non-international routes. Their choice, literally no one is being forced to get the vaccine.

Were the BLM protesters blocking the busiest border crossing between the US and Canada?

And apparently a very small minority of people think it’s ok to drive across the country and obstruct the lives of people in another city because they are inconvenienced by getting a vaccine.

But piracy is not benign. Nor is the act of smoking weed illegal in certain areas, it is possession which is an important distinction. It is not illegal to play a pirated game but it is illegal to possess it.

“As reported by The Washington Post on Thursday (which, like many for-profit institutions, operates on a five-day workweek)“

Oh don’t get me wrong, I agree with you that you should be able to do everything with your hardware that you want, so long as it’s legal. Otherwise should I be able to turn my leafblo

Sure, I’ll trust a notoriously bullshit media organization from the UK rather than local Canadian reporting.

If some people are never going to pay for something, they should move on too, no? The idea that modchips are necessary is nonsense. If a product does not do everything you would like it, don’t buy it. You can choose to take whatever measures you’d like, but if that gets in you legal trouble that’s entirely on you and…

I’ve seen this argument many times and it makes no sense.
