It may be veiled, but poorly, and a veiled threat is still a threat.

That is your personal opinion, not a proven fact.

The fact that someone couches their call to action to literally murder you in the language of rhetoric does not change that it is a call to action to literally murder you.

Even if he directly threatened you personally (which he didn't, by the way), you still don't get to hit him. You can call the police, or you can walk (or run) away from the situation, but you do NOT get to assault him over it. No matter how much you try to justify it, if you hit him, YOU are a criminal, not him.

agreed and attacking someone for having a different opinion of something sounds like wanting to attack someone for committing thought crimes, doesn't it? which would still make the attacker the criminal regardless of the "thought criminals"...thoughts.

I've got nothing else to say about this, then.

Your opinion is noted and filed in the trash can.

You can file this REALITY away all you want, but if you ever attack someone on a street corner like that and are arrested for it, you will be rightly judged a CRIMINAL and hopefully you will also be locked up for the CRIME you committed.

Back on the subject of what makes me angry, I'm fucking pissed at this constantly-enforced concept that assholes and bigots can push all they want, but the second their victims push back is when there's a problem, and the victim has to be punished for taking action to defend their physical and mental health.

When seconds matter, the cops are minutes away, and it's hard to call them when the would-be caller is dead. If I had a penny every time I regretted not fighting back, I wouldn't be worrying about college right now.

That said, most attacks were the result of someone assuming I was hostile and choosing to "push back".

In the end, there is no correct way to go about it. The way everything is, whatever you decide, that is what people will say was wrong. I guess what makes me angry is realizing how every situation, no matter how big or small, is an example of Morton's Fork in action.

"Alfred Olango, 38, pulled a vaping device from his pocket and pointed it at police Tuesday before one officer fatally shot him and another discharged a Taser, El Cajon police said."

I have a few questions about that.

1. What did that vaping device look like?
2. Why was he pointing it at a cop, especially in the middle of a volatile situation?

It's important to note they knew he was having a neurological break and needed help.

I never said you couldn't use self-defence to protect yourself, or run away. You should still try to call the cops at some point or get someone else to if someone else is around because not contacting them means they can't help at all unless they're already there.

So you don't care if a cop in a volatile situation sees a gun-shaped device pointing right at him in a similar manner to a gun by someone who may shoot him and must make a snap decision to prevent himself from potentially getting shot? Would you prefer the cop hesitate and leave himself open to possibly getting shot by someone who could've been holding a loaded weapon?

There's still the question of why he would point a device at a cop when that device is not supposed to be pointed at other people. That sounds like a dumb move to me.

Actually the one time I called, they assumed the wounds were self-inflicted. I personally knew one cop, who knew I'm Pyrophobic. He wrote that I was having an episode of Pyromania. Because that makes complete sense.

I used to care about football (rugby, just so you know which one) back when I was actually playing it. I still watch it sometimes to see guys getting drilled but I'm not interested in it enough to actively follow it.

I would have preferred if the cops had actually been at all paying attention when they had had a vape pen pointed at them, because they're not in the least gun-shaped. At the very worst it might have looked like a knife, in which case the thought to discharge their weapons was STILL overkill.

I wish they had been behaving like trained professionals, kept a cool head, looked closely at the situation they had been called to HELP COOL DOWN, and not killed a man who needed help.

cops serve the people and enforce the law or did that change at some point? i wonder how many of the anti-cops side of things hate cops for simply doing their jobs. blaming all for the bad actions of some isn't a good argument.

you sure enjoy arguing for the negative side of things.

Don't call pregnant patients 'mothers': Doctors are banned from using the word over fears it will upset those who are transgender

"over fears it will upset those who are transgender"

that sounds really familiar... oh wait, we have a 7 month thread that was locked not long ago where people wanted to come up with alternative words for that EXACT reason.

and before this there was another article talking about how doctors should no longer call pregnant women (yes, females) "expectant mothers" for the same exact reason.

controlling what people can and cannot speak to protect the feelings of others. this is something right out of 1942 isn't it?

oh, bearing made a video about this too.

1:17 i think you mean, "put her operation on hold". since...you know...male humans don't give birth.

The totalitarian state in 1942 wasn't motivated by protecting peoples' feelings.

If a dystopian comparison needs to be made, that is closer to Brave New World, but not enough people are familiar with that book.

What about all the expectant mothers who want to be called expectant mothers and/or find the term pregnant people offensive? Do they all now have to eat shit just to protect the feelings of one single person?

Honestly, Doctors just need to pay more attention, and people need to calm down and just politely let people know if they used the wrong term. If you're freaking out over somebody making a natural assumption, then you're both an idiot and an asshole.

It's just a term. I know, I'm kind of being a hypocrite after going into the cuntboy/dickgirl discussion and taking a complete 180 from my original opinion, but if people are getting upset because of being called a mother, then I don't think they understand how reproduction works. Or the fact that there's a difference between gender identity and biological sex. You have to *biologically* be a female to give birth to a child. Not unless you're a seahorse. Doctors should not have to stop saying anything because people refuse to accept that they are sexually female. I'll call them whatever they want to identify (I can relate, being genderfluid and all), but they need to accept that no matter what they believe they are, sexually, they are still female. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to give birth.

I may be fat, but I can't give birth because I choose to act girly one day. I'm still sexually male.

I gotta agree it IS weird for Doctors to just outright ban calling pregnant people mothers; Ideally the idea would be to ask for their pronouns before as part of checking them in and go from there. Just refusing to refer to a pregnant person with any given pronoun one way or the other is unhelpful to anyone.

You said male and female is all there is. Even if intersex is essentially both, it's still a third possibility outside of "male" and "female". I understand the frustration, especially since the whole thing is indirectly responsible for people assuming I'm trans, but the world isn't divided into "cisgender" and "tumblr", and tumblr is just showing the worst of things like it always has about any possible concept whatsoever.

dude...intersex isn't a sex. theres only 2 types of genitals: male and female. even in the case of hermaphrodites, that simply means the person has both male and female genitals, not that they're some 3rd sex.

Technically, a hermaphrodite has both male and female gonads, not genitals. You're gonna have a hard time finding someone outside of fiction with both a penis and a vagina (especially since part of both would occupy the exact same space) but someone with both a testicle and an ovary (or even ovatestes) does happen extremely rarely (and even rarer to find someone with both functioning).

intersex is real existing thing. they are human beings with genitals somewhere between penis and vagina (one example: enlargened clitoris that almost resembles small penis, vagina and testicles inside labia majora) or people with unusual chromosomes (for example person with xxy chromosomes). they do not fit in the female or male category.

"was assigned X gender at birth."

ಠ_ಠ you're not assigned a gender at birth. you're born as either male or female (or in some cases intersex).

seeing people repeat this obviously false statement is about as dumb as people saying "islam is a religion of peace". which, at this point, has been disproven so many times that that's now little more than an annoying meme at best.

I think the real problem is that they assume the doctor is referring to the gender when the birth certificate clearly says "sex", meaning the doctor isn't even referring to the gender. People just assumed hostility because Sturgeon's Law is in full effect.

There are all sorts of inconsistencies with the scores. Good images with low scores because hardly anyone's seen them and not so good images with higher scores because of the subject matter. Then there's the infamous cheese grater image that is downvoted beyond hell at this point because of its shock value. The score are at the whim of (often very biased) personal opinion and there's very little you can do about it.

Unless it's a really obscure MMO your best bet is always to look up the information on a wiki. Fextralife's is pretty good but seems to be specialized towards certain types of games. Gamepedia is a little more general and also a good choice.

I agree most of the time with this, though there are loaded yes/no questions that exist exclusively to misinform. It's like the question "Did you stop beating your wife?" I don't have a wife, so the correct answer is "no", but that frames me for continuing to beat a wife who doesn't exist.

Basically, there are questions that are yes/no, but exist for no other purpose than to remove context and physically cannot be answered "yes" or "no" without deceiving. You see it in court all the time, as well as elementary schools, when they need to "make an example".

You just reminded me of another one. Whenever someone asks a question on a forum and the first answer they get is "why would you want to do that? That doesn't make any sense."

I'm like seriously, either answer the question or shut the fuck up. Don't ask me why I want to know a particular thing or tell me I should be searching for something else. I know my reasons and I don't need to justify them to you in order for my question to be a valid question, and you don't look like a genius when you answer my question with a question about the reason for my asking the original question in the first place.

This is especially prominent on tech forums and stuff like that where people are asking about computer-related stuff. It's about equal in prominence to the whole "I've never encountered the thing you're referring to so therefore what you're going through never happens to anyone" line... which in turn is even more annoying when the experience in question is a common occurrence that is asked about on different forums over long periods of time.

again, been there done that. it makes me wonder why some people even bother visiting such sites or forums and offer to help someone.

another good one is the "anti-cheating" type of user. i've seen such a person a few times on the forums at gamefaqs.com. which is one of THE biggest and oldest websites that hosts guides, and all manner of info on cheats, glitches, passwords (for games that use them), and achievement/trophy info among other info.

you go on the forums and ask for help with a cheat or glitch or something and sooner or later 1 or more people come up and start going on about how you shouldn't cheat in games, how it ruins the experience, or something else. i usually just ignore such people or let the thread die and get archived at that point. cheating in games has been a thing since LONG before video games even came into existence. it is not for you to choose whether or not other people can or cannot cheat in a video game.

...unless it's multiplayer only like in MMO's. in that case, YES, i too would be against cheating but if it's single player and/or offline then who gives a f what someone does while playing a game? especially if they already paid for it.

hmmm... i wonder if theres any let's players here who post on youtube. if there are and they use PS4 games then i bet the added control devs now have on what you are and aren't allowed to share is highly annoying.

cutscene starts... oops, sorry, that's a blocked scene (dragon quest builders intro and star ocean: integrity and faithlessness's credits...that one seems a bit suspicious imo). a certain in-game event happens... oops, blocked again. or in some cases anywhere from 90-100% of the entire game is blocked: WTF DEVS?! (i think 1 or both dragon ball xenoverse games were like this)

that doesn't bother me directly as i don't do things like let's plays but i can definitely see it causing trouble for those who do do that. and it leaves me wondering...why do game devs want gamers sharing less and less content/info about their games these days? what do they have in their games that they feel the need to hide it from the public? o_O

and for that matter, what's the deal with blocking the PS4's media player in some games too? can't use it at all in dragon quest heroes because apparently the entire game is a "blocked scene" for that app. and no, i don't see a reason to use spotify, upload my 10-25GB+ of music to have a 2nd copy of my music folder for the PS4. that is stupid.

another good one is the "anti-cheating" type of user. i've seen such a person a few times on the forums at gamefaqs.com. which is one of THE biggest and oldest websites that hosts guides, and all manner of info on cheats, glitches, passwords (for games that use them), and achievement/trophy info among other info.

you go on the forums and ask for help with a cheat or glitch or something and sooner or later 1 or more people come up and start going on about how you shouldn't cheat in games, how it ruins the experience, or something else. i usually just ignore such people or let the thread die and get archived at that point. cheating in games has been a thing since LONG before video games even came into existence. it is not for you to choose whether or not other people can or cannot cheat in a video game.

...unless it's multiplayer only like in MMO's. in that case, YES, i too would be against cheating but if it's single player and/or offline then who gives a f what someone does while playing a game? especially if they already paid for it.

hmmm... i wonder if theres any let's players here who post on youtube. if there are and they use PS4 games then i bet the added control devs now have on what you are and aren't allowed to share is highly annoying.

cutscene starts... oops, sorry, that's a blocked scene (dragon quest builders intro and star ocean: integrity and faithlessness's credits...that one seems a bit suspicious imo). a certain in-game event happens... oops, blocked again. or in some cases anywhere from 90-100% of the entire game is blocked: WTF DEVS?! (i think 1 or both dragon ball xenoverse games were like this)

that doesn't bother me directly as i don't do things like let's plays but i can definitely see it causing trouble for those who do do that. and it leaves me wondering...why do game devs want gamers sharing less and less content/info about their games these days? what do they have in their games that they feel the need to hide it from the public? o_O

and for that matter, what's the deal with blocking the PS4's media player in some games too? can't use it at all in dragon quest heroes because apparently the entire game is a "blocked scene" for that app. and no, i don't see a reason to use spotify, upload my 10-25GB+ of music to have a 2nd copy of my music folder for the PS4. that is stupid.

I can say that for a time, Kingdom Heart's opening/closing song was sung by somebody who didn't want her music available for free, so she was copyright claiming it and deleting it. Eventually she did wisen up and realize that it's publicity, so she just claims the monetary gain from it. Monetary claim is fine, as long as it's a legitimate claim.

It does make me angry when companies claim something that isn't actually theirs.

Pubstompers. They're people in multiplayer games like TF2 who team up on a server and just stick together so that no matter what you do, you absolutely CANNOT ever get a kill on them.

I was just having this very problem in TF2. I got so pissed off by this soldier with a pocket medic that was just stomping the rest of us into the ground that I ended up ragequitting. People like that are worse than cheaters, because not only are they ten times better than anyone on the server, never make a mistake, pop the uber at exactly the perfect time, and always catch you, but there's no way you can legitimately ban them because they're not actually doing anything that's against the rules. They're just really super good at the game and are rubbing everyone else's face in it to make everyone mad. Kind of like an NBA player playing in a high school basketball game: the only reason they're there is to make everyone else jealous.

I get where you're coming from but there are some people who consider such things to be friendly.

(That said I also get that to some people there's a threshhold of "I know you" vs "Who the fuck are you" where that starts being acceptable and most people who do it aren't in the right side of that hold)

Same for "I get where you're coming from."
I have a few friends like that actually and like you said it's nothing against me personally since they do it kind of in the playful/ironic kind of way.

Though when it comes to random match making, it's fair to say doing that to some random dood isn't exactly the best first impression you could make on a guy ya know?

It's like calling somebody you just meet some mean/rude nickname you give your friends. Your friends are cool with it because they 'Know' your just playing around but that new guys gonna take it at face value and think your that kind of person that just call random people you just met that.
