        Really? Prove it.

        e: you’ve had an hour. It shouldn’t take this long to prove something you so confidently asserted.

          Holy cow my man. Do you live on here?

          Like, not agreeing with the guy, but if you assume that he didn’t respond to you in an hour because he can’t, as opposed to just having a life, that’s a far more negative reflection on you than him.

          Most people aren’t on here every waking hour. And if you are, I genuinely recommend you self reflect and maybe step away from the keyboard a bit.

            No, but when I say something controversial, I tend to monitor replies for a short while in case anyone responds.

            I don’t tend to troll, but I’d expect a troll to monitor even longer, since otherwise what’s the point?

            (Hence, I’m still in here.)

            Personally, I find it distasteful to default to “man” when referring to people that you’re unsure of the pronouns of, especially those that are seemingly female presenting. This is an example in choosing your battles, because nitpicking someone detracts from their point. Pettifogging and such.

            Furthermore, I think the number of sentences in your reply is entertaining, for someone criticizing another for spending too much time on this app. Also yes I am indeed pettifogging. =^}

              Listen my guy, I definitely don’t read all these dude’s usernames when I post.

              But while I’m sure being misgendered is upsetting to any hombres I’ve mistakenly done it to, I feel like there’s a difference between misgendering some bro in real life and over a faceless medium like a message board. Or, as I like to call it, a man-ssage board.

              … And yeah, I’m overly wordy. It’s just how I post. Stream of consciousness bby!

          I was thinking about Obama’s Libya, Afghanistan, ISIS while Clinton was complicit in striking Yugoslavia.

          Biden is a lesser match here, but he could be blamed for enabling Israel in 2023

          Ps: have you assumed I was getting a healthy piece of sleep?

      By the standards of the Nuremberg trials, every president since Eisenhower has been a war criminal. Chomsky wrote a piece on this in 1990, giving brief but convincing arguments for every president individually up till then. The pattern hasn’t stopped since then. Bush needs no argument, I hope. Obama has his explicit protection of the torturers of abu ghraib, the expansion of the drone program which killed thousands (including hundreds of civilians), killed an entire wedding. Biden bombed Yemen, Syria, and others, and of course the genocide. Trump, I hope, needs no argument. Terrorist state.
