Think of the dragons!

Isn't the story regarding a cop sexually assaulting a student at UMass Dartmouth?

Kilz makes a good water stain coverage primer. Should be easy to find at any home improvement store.

> Black mold is a danger to the environment.

Is it? Seems naturally occurring to me, and only dangerous to people who enter your home. In other words, not a public benefit. But in the end, it's all where we, as society, decide to draw the line.

Presumably mattress disposal was prohibited based on its dangers to the environment, which we all share. So a community could choose to use public funds to fund their recycling.

Would you prefer an analogy regarding a public park? We all pay for it because it is there for the benefit of us all. And, while some narrow-minded individuals could say, "I have a yard at my house, why should I pay for that", it still isn't a good argument against it.

You bought the house, you used the house, why should I have to pay the people who put it out when it's on fire?

It's the same argument. What makes one "right" and one "wrong"? It's just a question where you draw the line.

> Now ask yourself, what makes anything you think you have to say, important enough for me to read any of that?

Because you did. Not only that, but you responded. The worst of all, you know I'm right.

Have a good night!

> are you a robot?

No.

> If you’re not a robot...

I just said I wasn't a robot, I can pick stop lights and crosswalks out of photographs and everything.

> ...you’re really just made a comment that was like full of generic statements that have been regurgitated hundreds and hundreds of thousands of times by now. btw forgettable, is subjective,

Hundreds of thousands of people saying a movie is forgettable certainly isn't a good thing.

> I’ve seen the movie at least 80 times in the past 13 years. So no I didn’t forget anything.

That's sad. See different movies, there are lots of better movies out there.

> And just a heads up, yes being the biggest grossing movie of all time, Literally makes it special.

Not really. If you adjust for inflation, it's not the highest grossing movie. If you don't adjust for inflation, it will be surpassed in the next few years.

> plus All of the other technological advances created to make the films. That also make it special.

Yes, it was technically impressive, that's literally the only positive. That's almost exactly the critic consensus from rotten tomatoes.

> It might be more impressive on a technical level than as a piece of storytelling...

Technically impressive, but as a film it's rather pedestrian.

> Hey my guy it’s just a movie it can’t hurt you, it’s OK. You’ll be OK. I’m sorry people enjoying things upsets you.

Good to know. Like whatever you want. I was simply pointing out that saying that it was the "biggest movie" of all time, is really an overstatement.

> biggest movie of all time

Please say highest grossing, there is nothing special about Avatar. For as much money as it made, it has had zero cultural significance. It was an entirely forgettable movie.

I don't see the scam. Isn't everyone aware of the odds? A Nigerian prince offering you a million dollars if only you send $5,000 today, is a scam. Betting $100 to win $150 if the Patriots beat the Cardinals isn't. We all know they could lose.

Furthermore, nearly every surrounding state allows sports betting, not to mention online bookmaking sites. So any negative which comes from betting is already being suffered, we might as well make money from it, which allows us to use a portion of that money to aid those with a gambling problem.

What kind of PoS talks about the "lower class"?

Some people enjoy sports betting, some don't. So why not allow those that do, to be able to do it, the people that don't want to don't have to, and we use some of the revenue to aid those people who have a problem?

This is quite possibly the most libertarian stance ever...people should have maximal freedom, unless it's something I don't like.

> It is not really a matter of which side is to blame or who is right or wrong.

One side has advanced clearly fabricated claims and then attempted a coup. It truly is a matter of one side being wrong.

> If you feel like you hold some kind of moral righteousness over people due to the points above then fine, you are a truly good person and the people who disagree with you are really bad. Enjoy your reddit victory.

Never said anything like this, you're just deflecting at this point.

> All I seek to point out is that maybe, framing it as moral superiority

Haven't done this.

> when you don't like the behavior and then dismissing the behavior when the "right side" engages in it might actually be part of the reason why these populist movements sometimes gain momentum. \

WTF are you going on about? Behavior I don't like? They're not wearing white after Labor Day or putting pineapple on a pizza, they're trying to violently overthrow the government and install a Christian Authoritarian government. I'd say you're an idiot but you know precisely what you're doing and it's disgusting.

> With the growth of mail in voting

Vote by mail is safe and accurate. Oregon since 2000, and Washington since 2011 have been broadly vote by mail without issue. Absentee ballots are used everywhere. Questioning voting by mail is a political stunt by the right.

> the labeling of common sense voter ID laws as somehow bad

Voter ID laws were enacted to solve a problem that didn't exist. In-person voter fraud is incredibly rare. Proponents of voter ID laws have said that they are designed to disenfranchise. Stopping lawful voters from voting is bad, it's a poll tax with extra steps.

> and the overplayed hysteria over state election laws like Georgia you have had a lot of change and turmoil over the election process.

Yes there is a concern when voter laws are changed to be easier to rig in the future. When those who supported a failed coup change the laws to make it easier next time, that's concerning

> There are always winner effects with elections - Dems used "Russian Hackers" in 2016 as their version of the republicans "Stolen Election" of 2020 and i am sure the will be other trends.

No they absolutely did not. No one said the vote was rigged. It was alleged, and fairly conclusively proven that Russian agents created a web of disinformation to influence the election. It was not asserted that the vote was fraudulent, nor that Trump wasn't the rightful president in any meaningful way.

The majority of the Republican party is of the opinion that the election was illegitimate and that vote totals were changed. No evidence of this has ever been substantiated. Over 60 lawsuits were filed and dismissed.

> The key takeaway to this by both parties this should be - lets work to make sure we address what we can around the integrity of our elections.

Both parties? One party should stop being insurrection planning fascists. If Republicans didn't gerrymander and disenfranchise they'd never hold the executive branch again, nor a majority in Congress. They no longer have a platform because their ideas are wildly out of touch with the majority of Americans.

Please stop with your dishonest framing and false equivalency. If you think both sides are to blame you simply aren't paying attention.

> Poll: 61% of Republicans still believe Biden didn’t win fair and square in 2020

You can't possibly be foolish enough to think that 61% of Republicans believing the election was stolen isn't an issue. Can you?

What do you think happens when you erode confidence in elections? People resort to political violence or other illegal tactics. Government loses legitimacy as well. Election denial is catastrophic.
