I'm the type of guy to say we ought to show the goodness of humanity even to our most evil members. But I'm not one to say you're unjustified for any actions you take when that evil is right in front you, murdering a child. I won't call your answer good, but I won't call it wrong either.

    I dunno how true your claim is. I've seen a lot of UAP footage, as well as tons of claims from people in passing that they've seen something. Hell, my partner has a couple stories of her own.

    I can't speak on the legitimacy of the footage or claims (I tend to assume it's bullshit, but I've an open mind), but I can say there was a period of time where I saw 10s of reports a week, oftentimes the same event being documented by different people from multiple angles. I'm assuming you must be referring to official reports or something, but unofficial reports are still reports, so...

    Lol yeah? And? Not every comment has to be filled with insight. You can find ideology all over the place. What you're describing is something that humans just do, anywhere there's a line in the sand to be drawn. It's amplified online. It just is what it is. I don't see how this is uniquely leftist, nor what you expect to be done about it besides, like, a moderator for every interaction involving two people who disagree with each other and don't want to bother going into ideals? This is hardly the forum.

    These days, it's used for emphasis to make sure you're properly upset about it. Try using it in a context where age doesn't matter, and you see how much implied severity it can add.

    "I saw you speaking to a girl. What's up with that?"

    vs

    "I saw you speaking to an underage girl. What's up with that?"

    One of them sounds much more like a crime.

    That last point is where any hope I could've had dies. The will of capitalism is, apparently, stronger than our will to survive. We will not stop burning fossil fuels until the people who profit off of them burn first.

    I'm a smug dickhead, but usually when I make that mistake, it's because swype doesn't know which "your" I meant, and I fail to catch the mis-swype. Same with "too/to". And, weirdly, "me/Mr". It's actually a pretty common occurrence, and it's a huge pain point.
