I’ve had some people at least try to say “Oh sure a dog can adapt but it’s still just a different kind of dog.”

Which I can sorta get. I mean it’s still wrong, but at least I get why someone can believe in adaptation but not evolution if that’s their logic.

And it is hard to argue. We watch bacteria evolve and it’s still bacteria.

Of course the answer is “Evolution to change a species takes longer and the fossil record proves this.”

But I can see how they’re getting the wrong answer.

Are you sure? This doesn’t sound right

So what does this do for me exactly?

I thought when the Right thought of a Democrat, they thought of a purple haired hippie wearing a pussy hat and a health mask on a college campus who wears his pronouns on a name tag at all times…a caricature that doesn’t actually represent any group that actually exists.

I’m an ex-spiritualist, used to really be into New Age. Seeing people go into QAnon was a big reason why I stopped. Never understood it at the time, considering the Right was everything I was taught a New Ager wasn’t. Sadly it’s not a big surprise in retrospect

People are attracted to New Age because they want to feel special.

What do you mean by wave function collapse?

It bothers me that Creationists somehow think failing to understand Evolution is the same as debunking it.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “No that’s not evolution, that’s just an adaptation.”

The problem is that it’s very hard to get them to understand reality, because they think YOU’RE the one who’s misinformed.

I actually had a friend be baffled by me saying Gavin Newsom was a neo-liberal, he swore that Gavin was this ultra leftist and by not liking him I “proved no one’s Left enough for me.”

Fuck me for wanting a President who doesn’t meet up with Charlie Kirk and pals on a podcast to talk about how transpeople eat puppies.

I never understood why we blame rape victims for what happens to them. For some reason society at large seems to think everyone deserves everything that happens to them

Religion seems to make this worse “Oh you have bad karma”, “Oh Law of Attraction, you get what you vibrate out.”, “Haven’t you heard the prosperity gospel? The poor are poor because they’ve angered God.”

I’m sick of this shit

I mean how often have we heard “Elon must be a genius, if he wasn’t he wouldn’t be rich and famous!”

As a rule, I try to never justify someone’s abuse by saying that person was abused themselves. We must all do what we can to stop the cycle of violence.

I really hate the idea that rape is just “Something that happens to women”

I’m a trans woman, but when I was sexually assaulted I was an 11 year old boy. Nothing was ever done about it, because it was another boy that did it and “Boys will be boys”

I find nothing more sus than a man who thinks a desire to commit statutory is normal.

I legit don’t get it, why would you even want a sex partner who is underdeveloped and inexperienced even if there was nothing morally wrong with it? (Which there most DEFINITELY is something morally wrong with it)

You didn’t get a message either?

I was hoping that’s what that meant.

Currently having this problem and it persists no matter what device or client I use

The fact that people take JK Rowling seriously saddens me.

Sadly people get Tankies, Neo-Liberals and the Real Left mixed up
