Nothing of value was lost.

Trolling

You're assuming they didn't consider it, vs having considered it and thought that its more important to protect property than peoples' lives. Again, to no one's surprise.

Because we should be working to minimize suffering wherever we can. No one deserves to suffer these fates, and I don't want them to expand. Don't let perfect be the enemy of something better.

Why shouldn't we fight genocide however we can to prevent more suffering? Giving up and letting them genocide even more just tells me that genocide isn't an important topic in one's mind, no matter what their words say.

And asking people to vote for Biden when they profess to care about genocide is not justifying genocide. Especially when they say they won't vote or are voting 3rd party as a protest vote or something to teach them a lesson.

I'm sorry you're upset about me labelling that behavior as virtue signalling, but that's what it is. You may not want to shame others for behaviors that harm the goal, but I absolutely will.

Only what you assume. I'm voting for Biden.

I'm glad to hear that. I apologize for lumping you in with those pushing the 'dont vote blue' bullshit while professing* their opposition to genocide. As I said above, that's the virtue signalling I'm talking about, and that's exactly what that behavior is.

I'm not asking anyone to vote for Trump, to not vote, or to vote third party. In this very thread I've said to vote for Biden. Not that you care.

I'm not going to spend 30 minutes to an hour on every person replies to me with what appears to be virtue signaling to not vote left to see if they're actually voting Biden. Again, I apologize for lumping you in with the rest of those. But given the quantity of that behavior it is not out of line to assume.

The only reason I ask people to vote for Biden is because I care about genocide. I want to stop the genocide as much as I can, and prevent a genocide from coming here to our shores. I have family and friends who are LGBT+, and I am afraid for their safety and lives if Trump were to be elected.

And for anybody who pretends that they care about that, while pushing behaviors that actively sabotage their stated goals, I am absolutely going to call out as virtue signalling because that's what it is. I want to see people actually take actions that align with what they say they believe, not just talk about it while sabotaging their goals through messaging pushed by their opposition as well.

Are you planning on voting for the candidate who is going to be the lesser evil and minimize the harm, or are you going throw it away on a protest vote/not vote at all?

Because if you're doing the latter, you're not opposing genocide, you're abdicating your opposition by not opposing the person who wants to finish the job. Not voting against trump on the general election while professing* to oppose genocide is virtue signalling because you're explicitly and intentionally not doing the one thing that will have the most effect on the genocide.

It's annoying AF, but I've started waiting until my lawn is approaching 8" (where the city starts getting pissy) to let everything try to go through as much of the lifecycle as it can before I have to chop it all down.

Exactly! Who would know better about presidents being hopped up on goofballs than one of the guys handing them out?

There's some kind of stock market mini game in there now, so you can play and lose at something in the game, but no overall win conditions im aware of.

Don't expect any "charitable organization" run by billionaires, they're basically all there the funnel money from a billionaire to themselves in a way that lets them lower their tax burden and try to control public policy to further enrich themselves.

Keeping to that shithead gates, he pushed common core, admitted it was a failure, and kept pushing it. Billionaires are a pox*, and deserve to get the ol' French aristocrat treatment.

Too bad, you gotta fuck her. It's in the contract.
