I wonder how many people I have offended by coming up with the idea that the ignore feature can been abused. I did want to point out that you shouldn’t use it for the sole reason that people don’t agree with you, but I think that angered others, especially those who do use it for that reason. I understand if the opponent supports oppression, but I don’t support oppression. But how are these considered oppression:

- Opposing communism
- Opposing political correctness
- Opposing sanctuary cities
- Opposing gun control
- Opposing free healthcare
- Opposing taxpayer-funded abortions
- Thinking goods and services shouldn’t be free
- Thinking that it’s okay to be neutral to political issues

They say they’re in support of rights, but all of the things I listed above (like communism and political correctness) take away human rights. It’s not worth blocking people if they support smaller government or free speech.

I came here to use this place for it's intended purpose. Was this sort of this discussed before you brought it up? I don't think any discussion of that here is going to have any positive effect in either direction.
 
Seeing how the Western states are turning blue (including Arizona, Utah, Montana, and Alaska) shows how California’s proposition 187 seemed to have affected Republicans at the national level in not just 1994, but also 2020. Ever since they passed it and won the vote in 1994, Republicans have been kicked out of the state, and then the supermajority has ruined the state of California for both liberals and conservatives. While the liberals would move to cheaper states, the conservatives escaping California are liberal by national standards, hence why the other mountain states are turning blue. And it was all because of one law back in 1994.
 
So apparently the SM64 penguins looked pretty terrifying in the beta build of the game.

Here are 20 facts that I compiled. I try to stay objective as I can while showing the other side.

- All 50 states have positive attributes and negative attributes. The South may have higher crime rates and substandard education, but the Northeast is crazy expensive and unbearably cold in the winter.
- Fossil fuels are limited supply and make more pollution, but alternative resources that are unlimited and cleaner only work in certain areas. California made a push for all solar and wind energy, which is great for a desert or coastal state (especially when it was notorious for air pollution), but bad for states like Tennessee and Mississippi because of their location, climate, and biome.
- Private transportation is more dangerous if you consider all of the car accidents, but public transportation exposes you to all kinds of people, including people you don’t want to be near.
- Cities are more crowded and can be more dangerous, but there’s not much to do in the country, as you have a higher risk of wild animals. Even the suburbs aren’t the best.
- All wild animals, including rabbits, are dangerous, and any animal can have a positive relationship with humans, depending on how you raise them. It’s like Pokémon, where even the crap ‘mons can defeat a team of all legendary Pokémon.
- Although you can survive without eating meat, the healthiest people at least has some meat in their diet.
- Obama’s “57 states” comment is more about being inclusive, not being stupid. He’s wrong about how many states there are, but he’s right that we should treat US territories as part of our nation.
- Even historical villains have done good things. Our historical heroes have done horrible things as well.
- Even video games like Pokémon and Call of Duty have some educational material up to a certain extent. But that doesn’t mean you can play video games as a way to educate.
- Not every one who spent time in prison is evil. And not everyone who goes to church is good.
- Religion may have caused a lot of damage, but those who hate it for what it has done are also contributing to the religious conflict.
- Everything that is wrong with Nazi Germany is true about the key Allies of World War II. And everything wrong with the Allies are also true about the other Axis powers.
- If you are going to criticize America or England for the crimes they have committed, you should also criticize China for doing the same things at a much greater extent.
- Our early settlers and European explorers like Christopher Columbus are pretty savage, but the Native Americans have done these savage acts against other tribes for centuries before Columbus has arrived. But the people that should be shamed for doing these savage acts were the 20th century Americans that used their nationalist attitudes to persecute others and the Trump protesters that engaged in barbaric activities.
- All majors in college have a certain type of assignment that you would not want to do.
- Just because Disney World is bigger and has more to do than Disneyland doesn’t mean Disney World is any better. It also doesn’t hurt to try the more inferior alternatives like the Cedar Fair parks and the Six Flags parks, especially if you consider how expensive and how crowded the Disney parks are.
- For every reason why any fast food is better than McDonald’s, McDonald’s is better than the rest of the fast food industry for different reasons. I could say this about other chains, but McDonald’s is the most famous one.
- Diversity is good for business and media, but there are times where it doesn’t work.
- You may believe whatever you want, but some things are true no matter what.
- Laziness is bad, but working too much isn’t good for you either.
 
I love how literally translating Google Translate is. I've been running so Tackey & Tsubasa auctions thru it and it keeps saying "Tucky & Wings" (Tsubasa writes Tsubasa with a "wings" kanji" lolol)

A proper argument has to have a win condition. What is your goal here?
 
Because of some recent incident when a Harvard grad threatened to stab people for saying “all lives matter”, I decided to update my signature to include something else.

Even in an age when the cancel culture is going rampant and when political correctness is out of control, people can still lose once they make a death threats. It’s already immoral to call people “racist” for not agreeing with you or for being neutral, but death threats are even worse.

It’s also worth mentioning that personal responsibility is important. If you got in trouble for something you did, it’s your fault that you got in trouble. Don’t blame others. And more importantly, think before you share something like that on the internet.
 
IKEA seriously got one of the worst customer services I've spoken to.
I'd like to hear about your experience. I've had some interesting Nintendo support. Walmart customer support can be nonexistent.

They are also destroying random statues, like one of just an elk. There is a logical fallacy called moving the goal posts. They need to settle on one list of demands.

I'll try make it tl;dr cause I went thru some **** lol...

Well yeah basically I went to the closest IKEA here some days ago to buy a plushie I wanted (a white whale one), of course they didn't have it and the few staff there said it was a "seasonal" stock. Went back home, tried to order it online(nope didn't work aside from picking it up several hours away from me), contacted their chat support and they could by no means ship it from stores that had it in stock to my store nor mail it to me (the ones that had it in stock are not within my post code. Called their actual support the day and they told me the same thing except that lady was nicer, and that was some "limited" item they don't keep at their main warehouse. And I can't order it from eg. UK's IKEA online store either.

Ironically random Asian sites has it for purchasing though it's more expensive o_o

So yeah one of the biggest companies that are also associated with my country (Sweden) can't even offer back-order or ****. Lmfao.
