I am not the only one who disagrees with this decision, right?
From the Chinese perspective: Negotiating with a governor without contacting the Chairman and coming here is definitely NOT something you want to do as a governmental official.
From the American perspective: Triggering the 2nd greatest country as of this point in terms of global importance(when they are already somewhat triggered) is definitely NOT something you want to do as a governmental official. (Also, many Americans protested against this decision)
So, who supports this decision and why?

The problem is that the libertarians might hate the government and public policies for the sake of doing it because a center of their belief is that government bad.

I believe grades reflect and determine how smart you are according to the school system. The school system is not necessarily accurate. When it is so inaccurate, we reform and improve it. For example, the southerners stopped learning that the black people were being treated fine because this is a lie and does not help with anything.

We were taught as kids to not get in strangers cars or meet strangers from the Internet, and now we literally summon strangers from the Internet and get in their cars.
It is all a matter of consent. You don't eat anything the local human trafficker gives you, but you willingly gobbles down anything the 3-star chef cooks for you, because it is wanted.

I believe this is not a random thought, because this has been a meme for a few years already to say the least. I highly doubt that you thought of all that on your own especially in the same order as everyone says. I don't think anything weird is going on with your post, since I could pull up Google and ask her what the origin for every word(especially common words like these) are.
Though I am curious if killing a sentient android counts as murder or not. I mean, you get prison when you kill a fellow human, but you don't when you break the freezer.

We don't need sex believe it or not. It is not like without sex we can't survive(well, being the end of a lineage does not kill me more than naturally).
I would say that we can engineer drugs so we can stimulate dopamine in sex conditions without having sex. Fuck porn(irony intended). This is the real deal. (This statement is an irony, don't do drugs kids)

It is basically the same thing. You replace parts with different parts, old ones with new ones. If the empire moves net westward but has a constant area, this is the same thing. It replaces obviously different parts without changing the function of anything.

Why would you be mad being banned off of a platform? I mean, me and my homies were howl laughing when we speedran banning from twitter and actually got it within like 10 minutes. Even if you are trying to post, post here, we don't use the moral high ground that often and we don't ban people until we don't make sense.

For "possible interpretation", I am obviously not endorsing extreme semantical kritiks. They actually have to make sense in the sentence. What doesn't make sense? To give a simple example, using a noun definition of "love" for "I love you" does not make coherent sense and should be dismissed immediately. What is better than allowing kritiks on definition? Defining the terms yourself beforehand.

I generally disagree with what people think is "good faith" in debating. If I beat an instigator with a rational argument that is thought to be outside the consideration of the topic's scope(despite that a possible and rational interpretation can lead to that argument), it is the instigator's responsibility for not ruling out the consideration of such interpretation, and his own fault for not seeing this coming. If I am an instigator with a preset obviously favoring me and someone accepts it and loses obviously, it is the contender's responsibility regarding seeing how the preset really is. Debating a topic itself means that the scope should be defined as the topic itself and anything that could be interpreted from the topic itself should be valid.
In the same way, the scope of the vote is in the debating section for every debating webpage we have here. The comments should not be regarded unless they have been referenced in the argument section. We are really debating who has the better argument here, not who has the better faith or who is being convinced here, at least that is not decisive in terms of our voting structure on this very site. If you hold an argument, wrote an argument with significant quality, then decide that it is flawed so you concede, you should not lose because of it because then it is the equivalent of taking a position of "devil's advocate", and people do that all the time.
This is an issue albeit rare, but I have seen existing examples of it. Voters should generally not vote against someone just because they conceded in the comments, and if they conceded in the comments before the debate itself ends, they either should keep arguing a devil's advocate for the remaining rounds or just concede in a debate round in order to receive fair judgement. And if you really want to lose those points, which sounds extremely bizarre in my opinion, you are always free to open another debate.

and even after Abe (who was extremely racist still btw) freed the slaves
And you'd be correct, Lincoln was still racist, but at least they get shit done and do constructive action in society, unlike today where all they do is make society more of a shithole and be proud of themselves every time they do something.
Or at least that is what it seems like. Both sides bashing each other does not make me or millions of other Americans or non-Americans sway to either side, they just want us to desperately hate both.

Just name it, idk, the old party? The republican party is pretty damn far from the French republicans back in the revolutions of Napoleon Bonaparte, and as damn far as the republican party in Abe Lincoln's presidency. The US used to be about protecting people's rights in the most practical way possible, now it is about different politicians protecting their own rights in the most hilarious way possible.

Just what republic they are trying to be anyways. Might as well make it an empire or confederacy. They are not even trying to be republic anymore, the democrats neither are trying to be democratic.

To date I have been permanently suspended from Instagram, Facebook and Twitter directly (and very specifically) due to posting fact-based truth backed by criminological (and other scientific) data that clearly demonstrates that black Americans, namely half of the roughly 6% of black male population in the US do in fact commit over 50% of the entire nation's murders and non-negligent manslaughters; and that they are also disproportionately represented among other violent crimes like robberies and rapes.
"You are a fucking retard with an incomplete brain" arguably is not the best thing to say to someone with medically diagnosed severe brain damage.
IDK about those democrats, they can do any crazy shit these days, but for the people, they probably do know it is true, it is just they don't need it. I am not saying Twitter is right, but these data might sway the public away from their ideology, even though it is true. Maybe they think you are not on their side once posting it.
Then again, if you are in need of posting anything, go to Reddit or 4chan. The only concern is that their posts are too weird.

Lack of demand. You are the first one in a few years I have seen to request such a thing. We can actually add or remove topics from the MEEPs, it is just that we haven’t even asked ourselves to add such a thing yet.

@Lemming
Where individual actors or themes could be switched,Example, say one was filming Star Wars, do it twice, with characters of opposite sex playing everyone, Rather than the Emperor, the Empress,Or have character's all be Japanese, or Nigerian,
How about we make carved model movements for everyone then we make realistic models of various actors so we could see, for example, Hayden Christensen playing Obiwan, inserting Anakin's model onto Obi-wan's movements and call that a movie, for every scene.
Trust me, it will not be a movie website anymore, it will be a sandbox site, a funny one, but due to how hard it is, if one movie exists in this format, either the format will never be popular or the popularity of that movie rises tenfold.

You can use urinals, but only if you identify as "He/Him".
What a joke. Just remove this system and just put a sign of a penis on a door and the uterus on another one, because the bathrooms are designed for which set of organs, not what gender identity people have external of organ placement. You identify as a woman but has a penis? Great, enter the room with the urinals then.

They became the Hungarians after breeding with other Asians and Europeans(which are just geographical terms, not racial) for centuries. And yes, some Hungarians live in the USA, they do. As for the main concentration of the Huns, back in like 2nd century AD in Han dynasty, they fought with the Huns. The Huns lived in…well, Mongolia and Russia as known as today. Then again, you don’t just call Russia “Hungary”.

For 5, yes, that is what telomeres do or as the textbook say. We replace old cells but eventually the replacement function gets slower than the speed the cells die out, the max supply is less than the demand, and you begin to die. That is when you have to put on life support and eventually the life support cannot catch up, so you die and your family members wave goodbye with a tear in their eyes.

As time progresses, old cells go from "yours" to "not yours" and the newly generated cells become yours. You just add and remove elements from an existing set of "you" that does not disappear.

Suppose you run an empire. There is no competitors east but there is a larger and more powerful force in the west so you move your territory east and east every time, adding new territory to the east and removing those in the west. You are adding eastern soil to your collection, removing western ones so they are not yours anymore. This happened, well kinda. The Huns used to live in where Russia is now, but now their descendants live in Hungary with no territorial overlap.
If one component of the ship is removed, it is no longer yours, whereas the replacement of it is yours. That set becomes you, removing one element and adding another, recognizably. If another ship is built after complete replacement that it looks identical, it comprises of elements all of them being rejected away from you. Since none of them is now a part of you, that ship is not you. Instead, you should be the other ship, with replacements for all elements, because that set was from the beginning you and only removed and added elements revised onto it. A folder does not automatically change its name even if you delete all files and add new ones.

If so, then there is also something, because it never was nothing. As a result, existence is eternal, resulting in a transcendental God external of existence required to create existence, obsolete. Unless we change definitions, I am pretty sure this disproves God instead of proving it.

Quite. I just think that no one intentionally act like an asshole(except maybe Wyited). Maybe some people are way sensitive to things like this but to me, all these cold and harsh tones used in debate arguments just feel like what would be normally expected for an argument. You are here to fight with words, well. I still respect your effort to make arguments respectful, I just think it is ok with or without.

- Don't be too harsh. That last sentence in the previous bullet point is probably not how you should do it, but it's how I'd do it. Being too harsh just makes people view your entire argument with a negative light. It makes you out to be an asshole. Take people in good faith unless you are absolutely sure and capable of proving that their argument is in bad faith/laughably incorrect. This is also advice I should have followed more.
It is either wrong or not. We should point it out in the straightest way possible without it being so bad conduct is removed, not just generally "don't be harsh". That is my view.

However, a car without an automative motion-inducing system should not be a car. For example, a clay model of a car.
Created:
Might as well interpret cars topographically. Any machine powered by automatic sources of kinetic motion(as opposed to manual, e.g. hand-drawn or pedaled), with at least 3 cylinders(or even spheres, at least something in which at least one cross-section through the "wheels" is a circle) touching the ground, rotating as how it is to move fowards and backwards, and can store subjects and/or objects(Including such as people and coffee cups) is a car. Therefore, stripping a car down to its wheels, engine and chassis, and add an autopilot system, a GPS, and just place a cup holder on stilts(or thin pillars, whatever you call them), that should count as a car, an auto-transport of cup(s).
Do you agree?

Nobody is telling you to let it be a routine. For example, even if you go to school everyday at the same hour, you learn different things. Even if you go to work at the same hours, you still compile different information. These make you feel different unless you make yourself numb. Nothing is that kind of “routine” unless you say it is yourself.

That’s the point. How do you prove it? There is no way to prove it
I am not skilled enough nor evil enough to track you down through the dark web, but it could be proven. Right now, I only know that I am talking directly to an account and indirectly to a person owning this account, while not knowing who this person is. I don't even need to know.

So if I change my gender to female I’m a female? And the fact you’re asking for “proof” makes you transphobic
Do I even care what "some" people say are "transphobic"? These days, you get called transphobic even if you just acknowledge that male and female are definitely existent genders. I would argue that if your account shows that you are female, your account is female, that is what it means when you say "You are female". It could also mean that the user behind this projection is female, but that would be doxxing. I am talking to an account projection, not an IRL person controlling some account on some debating website.

You are lying until your claims and your actual evidence aligns. Either you change your gender to female on your account or you take back those words.
The separation of account and user is needed. The account is a projection of the user. Let’s not talk about how a coat of code can be “female”, a male person can also use a “female” account (V-tubers for example). No one can prove that, not even if they dox.

Gender norms are the derivative and the case-specific of the biological distinction, not the opposite. Psychological classifications only reinforces this misunderstanding because before we develop a way for a man to truly have functioning breasts, ovaries and vaginas in replacement to penises and testicles all the "trans" people are really based just on gender norms or "this is how a woman looks and thinks like, I want to be like that!"
