  • The maintenance and taxes on my home are far cheaper then rent in my area. I could not afford to rent the home I own.

    People don't understand that a landlord is going to charge enough rent to cover all those costs and still make a profit. Otherwise they would just sell the home.

  • We know because the guy who wrote it told us.

    The guy who first wrote "eiland" spelled it as such. Then some idiot put an 's' on it as a stylistic choice to latinize a word that has no Latin root. Now if you spell it any way other than "island" you are wrong because that is the way to word is used and understood.

    Or, to put it another way, if you want to insist language is set in stone let me translate for you:

    Se mann þe ǣrest wrāt "eiland," swā hine stæfode. Þā sum dysig mann an 's' onlēde swā stīlcræft, tō Lǣden sprǣce þæt word þe næfþ nān Lǣden rōt. Nū gif þū hine stæfian on ǣnige wīsan būtan "island," þū bist wōh, forþām þæt is sēo wīs þe þæt word is gebrocen and understonden.

  • I encountered someone who was foaming at the mouth certain about how I was saying it wrong

    And here you are. The circle is complete.

  • That's why you had to spell it wrong in order to communicate that.

  • It's a sign of mental illness. If I had $500 million I wouldn't work another day in my life. You would never hear about me. I would go live somewhere quiet and have everything I could possibly want delivered to me.

    To have more wealth than you could possibly spend in the rest of your miserable life, and yet so desperately desire more that you're willing to break any moral, ethical, or legal framework in your way and make political enemies in order to do so, is a sign of a deeply disturbed individual who not only should not be in charge of anything but should probably be kept away from the general public.

  • If everyone is speeding on a road and not constantly getting into accidents does that not indicate that the posted speed limit is incorrect?

  • They're silent because they know all the protestors will go back to work tomorrow. If you want to force them to acknowledge it you need to show up the next day as well.

  • So how much would it cost to give American's healthcare?

  • I'm sorry, I see you just wanted to knock your straw man around and are unable to handle actual push back. I'll leave you to it.

  • The Catholic Church

    Catholics and Christians, while similar, go to different churches. So despite the fact that:

    “Of their local church” is what [you] clearly stated

    You are in fact associating them with people who do not attend "their local church".

  • You think every church has pedos in it and you accuse me of building a straw man?

  • You are the people you associate with

    Do they associate with people 2000 miles away? Or do they just like the same book?

    Is everyone who enjoys Lord of the Rings responsible for the actions of other LotR fans?

  • Many of them do speak out against and actively oppose those who use religion as an excuse for bigotry.

    Then some idiot responds with "No True Scotsman" and thinks they made a brilliant retort against someone who you would think they would be on the same side as.

  • There were 2 big things that cover 90% of things Jesus said in the Bible.

    1. love people. Full stop. Yes, them too.
    2. don't listen to hypocrites that make up religious rules and tell you you have to obey them.
  • Are you stalking them around Lemmy to complain about their discord? Or did you go searching through their posting history for a whataboutism after they disagreed with you?

    Either way it's past time for you to touch grass.

  • He’s basically a grown up older Varuka Salt

    FTFY

  • Ah, so I didn't say it anywhere and you are stereotyping anyone who disagrees with you as an excuse to call them hypocrites, while you wish bad things upon them because you care about bad things not happening to people. Got it.

  • there would have been just as many palestinians dead

    So we agree that Trump isn't any better for Palestinians?Then your "single issue" is irrelevant to the options you had available.

    I'm surprised your bothering to comment on Lemmy. Commenting on Lemmy won't stop the genocide in Gaza, and apparently if it won't stop the genocide in Gaza you don't participate.

  • When did I make excuses for Democrats?

  • "I have morals and care about people, that's why you deserve bad things to happen!"
