Ever seen a discussion about men complaining that they are assumed to be a threat just for being male get derailed by comments that it isn’t a problem worth complaining about compared to women’s issues?
No I haven’t ever seen that. But that would be an example of whataboutism so pretty shitty thing to say.
Or when the topic of how sexual abuse of boys is extremely common gets derailed as not really being an issue and dismissed by crime stats that often exclude non-penatrating sexual assaults?
No I haven’t ever seen thing either but again that is dismissive and a terrible way to invalidate a legitimate problem.
Yes it sucks when whataboutism is used to dismiss complaints, but it is also frustrating that the same whataboutism is used to silence discussion that is about the issues that men face.
So you feel whataboutism/dismissive responses are only used against men? Or do you agree that that is not a good way to respond to legitimate issues regardless of gender?
Both scenarios are possible and it is shitty to use whataboutism in both scenarios.
Whenever I do see the opposite and when the guy interjects all that’s said is “there’s a time and a place to talk about men’s issues” but like when is it then?
When it’s not being used as a whataboutism.
3·3 days agoI am vegan because of all the health problems caused by eating animal cells:
- visceral fat
- colon cancer
- diabetes
- overeating from lack of fiber
- reduced recovery time
Just to name a few.
I would prefer no animals be harmed but when making that the basis for a vegan diet it is much harder to convince people that don’t care about animal suffering. Also, there are so many arguments used as “gotchas” that it becomes counterproductive, like the vaccine example you gave.
Pointing out what’s in it for them is a much better approach than trying to convince people that animal consent is important.

What a joke.

23612·10 days agoIt is important to note that foreign nations like Iran, Russia and China are using this topic to convince voters to allow facism to win the election in the US. This doesn’t mean that Israel shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions. But history shows how foreign actors use these topics to manipulate us.

If you buy a PHEV be prepared for the cost of a gas car and an EV combined
No need for insults
I’ve found the range is better than what they claim for stop and go city driving due to regen braking. But otherwise the range estimate is about as accurate as the miles per gallon estimate on a gas car.
It is definitely way cheaper to own than a gas car.
They’re referring to Native Americans

When you ignore politics:
3·1 month agoIt has everything to do with the streaming service. Because they can’t sell as many prime memberships without it.
It’s not a bonus. They weren’t selling as many memberships as they wanted so they had to make the deal better by adding the service.
No streaming service. No membership.
It wasn’t “tacked on” because Amazon is generous. They did the math and decided it would help them make more profit by selling more Amazon prime memberships.
No one feels they are owed. They feel it is not worth it to pay for ads.
How can it be a free trial if you’re paying for a membership? Just to make them more money by watching ads?
Your comment sounds like something a marketing team would say.
We aren’t consuming batteries anywhere near the rate we consume oil and coal. Hydrogen even less than batteries.
So the amount of ships needed would still be a fraction of what we use now.
