Something something price of eggs

Yup, historically fascist regimes have only been stopped by people asking nicely.

The military spent funding researching astral projection. That doesn’t mean it’s a thing.

If you think people playing pretend has that strong of an effect on them you might want to avoid the Internet all together. So much stuff on here is significantly worse than Mario jumping on a turtle.

Is it? Looks like it’s getting a lot of pushback

You could argue that adults should be allowed to commit fake sexual abuse but its still likely not a positive for those who consume it.

Should they be allowed to commit fake physical abuse? There are a lot of “violent” video games out there as well.

I asked that people be as passionate for things I’ve mentioned.

No, you didn’t. You’ve bombarded them with a long list of “whatabouts” that is only going to exhaust them, not move them to action.

It’s odd how so many are quick to add their personal interpretations.

Right, it’s not like that’s what you immediately did in your first comment.

You also didn’t answer the question as to how many of those causes you called your representatives about.

First they came for the porn…

gestures at the rest of the thread

The person who made the image had a cause they cared about and did something about it. If you care about those causes you should absolutely do the same.

Otherwise you just sound like you’re lashing out at people who are doing something about something, while you are doing nothing about anything.

By the way, how many of those causes have you called your representative about?

Others too

Oh no! All the real issues would hang been solved if only I hadn’t taken 5 whole minutes to sign a petition for SKG!

So 13 is fine.

He said 12 is too young for him.

He had to say that?

that doesn’t mean everyone can afford buying one outright

Generally that’s what mortgages are for. Considering rent needs to cover the cost of [ mortgage + expenses + the landlord’s profit ] anyone that can afford rent can afford the mortgage.

That’s not to mention the reason housing prices are so absurd is because landlords are buying up all the available supply in order to profit it off of it existing. Without landlords housing becomes much more affordable.

What about people who want the freedom to move from place to place without being tied down, too bad, they have to own a place?

We are having a housing crisis right now. So how about we worry about the large group of people who want to own shelter and can’t, and then we can worry about the much smaller group of people who have the means to move constantly but find hiring a realtor just too much effort.

So you don’t have any empathy?

Bill Gates could say that he “spread riches among the poor”

Not if he gave $1 million to one person, then took it away and gave it to someone else.

So addressing this problem can also help address another problem?

It doesn’t matter what your cause of choice is, someone is always going to say something else is more important. However, saying human trafficking doesn’t matter at all? That’s a pretty dickish statement.

I agree, it would be nice if Republicans cared about more of these things, but human trafficking is also a major issue.
