What difference does to make if someone is sitting on the bench, laying down, standing, crouching, or in any other comfortable resting position? It's a public bench, to be used by the public however they see fit, as long as they're not causing harm.

It's weird to enforce the "correct" usage of a public bench, or the "correct" amount of space a person is allowed to take up, especially with such drastic elements that you yourself admit are not very effective.

Literally anyone using the bench potentially prevents someone else from also using the bench. Why is it a bigger deal when it's a homeless person doing the using? Also, I'm sure there are other more attention grabbing options than a flyer, if we use our imaginations a little bit. Why is your focus on prevention and not education/outreach anyways?

Hey maybe I'm stupid too, but it seems to me it'd be way fucking easier and cheaper to just put some flyers in a little letterbox attached to the bench advertising the nearest homeless shelter or something, rather than inconveniencing literally everyone who wants to use the bench. But what do I know, I'm probably just stupid

god definitely exists, as it's just a philosophical concept to say the "cause of all causes".

I hope you stretched before making that leap.

Snark aside, this is just a dressed-up version of the "god of the gaps" argument, and is by no means proof of the existence of god. Changing the definition of "god" to be the "cause of all causes" is uselessly broad at best, and misattribution at worst - the "cause of all causes" may very well be a natural phenomenon, at which point attributing it to "god" is just straight up incorrect.

by definition, such a thing exists, i would say.

Actually, maybe not. There's some new theories and evidence suggesting that it's possible that the universe is eternal, as in it has always existed, making the existence of a "cause of all causes" impossible (unless of course you also water down the definition of that phrase to the point where it's meaningless).

If you were in marching band, there's a good possibility that you had more thorough training in marching than what's given in basic training, especially if you went to competitions. Marching makes up like half the activity of marching band (it's in the name). Marching is only one of a plethora of things that are taught during the few months of basic training, and once you're out of basic, you may never have to march again.

I also think your expectations on how rhythmically-inclined the average person (or soldier) is might be on the high side based on your experience in an activity with a bunch of highly rhythmically-inclined people.

A couple counterexamples doesn't mean the trend across all elections has changed. And that's what I'm talking about - the trend across all elections.

No, it is necessarily true, according to the data lol. The higher the voter turnout, the more left wing candidates win. I don't doubt that what you say is true at some level, but it doesn't happen enough to affect the trend of higher voter turnout = more left wing wins.

It has been continuing. It has been sustained. There has been constant protesting since Trump got back in office, it's just not being covered by mainstream news outlets. These latest No Kings protests have been the biggest protests so far, but they haven't been the only protests, not by a long shot.

We are the majority.

🌍🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀 Always have been. That's why conservatives constantly try to make it harder to vote - the more people vote, the more left wing politicians win. Because the majority of people agree with left wing ideals.

Do you also support gay people on your service by letting them organize and run a gay pride event on your service? Or is having to witness people celebrating gay pride too much for your delicate sensibilities?

I don't think it's the same discussion, video games and AI chatbots are two very different things that you engage with in very different ways.

Brick and mortar shops aren't comparable to websites, and I don't know why you keep trying to compare them. The places that sell alcohol and tobacco aren't asking me to upload a digital version of my legal identification to some cloud-backed database. They're just manually checking a date and a picture. Most places I buy from don't even make me physically hand over my ID, I can just show it to them without it ever leaving my possession.
