“Do you have a source?” means, “I already know you are wrong but you won’t believe me unless you find out for yourself.”

You could pick any two examples, and this is what you came up with.

It’s just the name of a particular kind of social get-together.

I went to an introvert’s munch once. It was held at a public library. Everyone just nodded and smiled at each other as they read books. No one spoke to anyone. It was amusing as performance art but it was a shitty munch.

You have met trans people. It isn’t in every source of media. You are experiencing warped perceptions. Show this post to someone you trust.

I edited and deleted my comments, and then got banned. I figure they’re not going to resurrect potentially tainted comments for training AIs.

Companies have forced everyone else out of what was previously a functioning non-commercial space. We have more choices than “evil company” vs “nothing”

They don’t have email?

Kinda like that ONE time someone called someone gay and nothing like the billions of other times. Got it, how could I have ever been confused.

Has it occurred to you that maybe I object to that, too? It’s not okay just because it’s Putin.

I guess when I hear people derisively calling someone gay, I just think to myself, “They mean the bad kind of gay, they’re not talking about me.”

No. There is not a distinction. We’ve been working for decades to make weird okay. Fuck them for throwing us under the bus.

Remember when everyone was so upset about losing Brazilian rain forest? Turns out we’d all rather have Big Macs.

okay, but how is this a joke

You think that’s bad, I’ve been finding myself remembering how “good” the 80s were lately…

(For context, they were not.)

Then why are you so afraid to say, “Yes, please show me your evidence. I will read it and consider your point?” You would rather attack my evidence without ever knowing what it is, because you are not engaging in good faith.

Straight people are the worst of all options.

I asked you if you wanted evidence and you just said stupid shit at me. Would you LIKE evidence, now?

You can have the last bark. I won’t reply anymore. Go ahead, take it. Buddy.

… I figure that going vegan isn’t necessarily that much of a stretch anymore. It’s not because of moral or ethical reasons

Then it’s not veganism. Veganism is not a diet. It is an ethical position on the treatment of animals. All aspects of our treatment of animals. You cannot be almost vegan or sometimes vegan or partially vegan any more than you can be almost a feminist. Someone who believes women should be allowed to own property, but not his wife, is not almost a feminist.
