quoted from this cnn article
QuoteLast month, Biden hinted he was considering taking executive action, telling Jimmy Kimmel that while he believed Congress should codify Roe, "There's some executive orders I could employ, we believe -- we're looking at that right now."
and later in the article
Quotewho the White House says will provide "technical assistance to states affording legal protection to out-of-state patients as well as providers who offer legal reproductive health care."
seems to me like biden is just trying to use executive orders to circumvent the legislature, judicial branch, and the authority of states. how is this not breaking every check and balance we have.
QuoteBut Biden said recently he would support making an exception to the filibuster -- the 60-vote threshold in the Senate needed to pass most legislation -- in order to codify abortion rights and the right to privacy through legislation passed by Congress. The President had previously been reluctant to support changing the Senate's rules in order to pass his agenda.
so hes willing to completely change how the senate works just to pass his agenda. pretty unconstitutional, and also it will set a precedent for anyone after biden to just change how systems of government work in order to get what they want
its also interesting to me that when trump uses executive orders, this other cnn article only talk about what critics say and how critics say that its bad. but when biden wants to use an executive order to circumvent the judicial and legislative branch, and even considers changing how the legislative branch works, the article doesnt mention a single critic at all

theyre not real, its a hypothetical situation
Quoteexamples for what?
Quote↩ erin I mean.. the problem I see with that analogy is that if there were 1000 identical houses and one of them randomly failed structurally, there’s a good chance that the rest of the houses would be evacuated to work out the cause of the fault before more people are hurt or property is damaged. A similar stance, albeit in a more extreme case, is that often thousands of aircraft are grounded if there’s reasonable cause that a mechanical fault caused just one crash in that model.
youre 100% right, i think i said i know that 1 out of 1000 is huge for houses but just to roll with the analogy. i was kinda rushing and couldnt think of a better analogy

vouch, incredibly capable and dependable. hes proven his abilities as an admin, senior admin, and executive. no reason not to reinstate him
plus as a bonus hes racist

↩ Luke the point is that the overall pattern of the neighborhood (metaphor for society) is that the houses work in almost all cases. however, by using anecdotal evidence (like billy’s house) to describe the entire neighborhood, you create a description contrary to the actual neighborhood: that the houses suck.
in a more real example: lets say there a 3 people i know. they have an american flag on their houses, and as some random people walk by, they throw eggs at their houses and the flag. now, i could look at anecdotal evidence and say “wow our country hates the american flag, what happened to patriotism?” or i could step back and look at the larger picture: “this only happened 3 times, theres bound to be a few idiots in a huge country.”
the point of these examples is that by using anecdotal evidence you dont capture an honest picture of society, the only way to do that is by looking at larger trends and patterns. focusing on the outliers and anecdotes only creates a skewed view of reality

i wouldnt say so, ive literally never seen anyone saying rape is fine unironically
Quotelet me rephrase. the gender pay gap being caused by discrimination has been debunked
Quotethe allegations had no merit. there was no evidence, her own friend had contradictory testimony, and she only reported it 40 years later right before he was about to become a supreme court justice. convenient timing. as for amber heard, i have not heard (pun intended) officially from warner bros if she is getting dropped from aquaman 2. however, they sure were quick to drop depp from fantastic beasts. seems to me that being accused is more frowned upon than falsely accusing someone
Quoteaccording to https://chapterland.org/wp-con…US_FactsFigures_Flyer.pdf its only 1.4x. however, i dont know how its counted. i have two ideas on how it could be counted, and how men die 4x as much if they attempt suicide less. first: say 100 men and 140 (1.4x) women attempt suicide. men might just be much more likely to succeed, so 80 men succeed and 20 women succeed (4x death rate). second explanation: 100 men attempt suicide and 80 succeed. 48 women attempt suicide, and 20 succeed (20 male vs 28 female survivors). in this model, the male suicide death rate is 4x, but the amount of attempted suicides is 1.4 times larger for women. the second model makes more sense to me, because the first model has such a huge difference between attempts leaning to female and deaths leaning for men. im not sure about this tho, just speculation. as for suicidal thinking, i dont think thats a good metric. ive had serious suicidal thoughts, but i never actually planned on attempting it. id bet lots of people also have had suicidal thoughts. i think the best metric is the people who are actually willing to fully carry out a suicide, not attempts or ideation.
Quotethe point is that its not fair to say men are favored in the workplace when they make up basically all workplace deaths. anecdote so take it with a grain of salt but even in my own personal experience working in a place with almost all women, my manager would choose me to take out the trash, do any work outside, or any sort of heavy lifting.
Quoteive sometimes felt the need to carry a knife for self defense. i find myself being extra aware and looking around at night, looking for places i could get attacked from or escape to. ill be cautious walking near people at night. all of this is especially amplified if im around women. its considered polite for me to walk next to the road if im with a woman because if a car runs off the road as a man i should be the one to get hit.
Quotei know, my point is that throwing anecdotes back and forth does nothing because theres an endless supply of “i know someone who…”
Quotelive, i wouldnt wish suicide on anyone. suicide prevents any chance of growing or working through regret
Quote↩ @'Ryan' Those two are in no way shape or form comparable to the examples / hypotheticals already provided…
why not? im asking if it would be preferable to have your loved ones experience trauma or ptsd, or have them die. its a question to see whether theyd rather have someone die or live with trauma, im just removing the abortion part of the question.
Quote↩ @'Ryan' Your entire argument around that paragraph could easily be a thread of its own because it’s not accurate… Certainky not globally.
in america* typed it in kind of a rush, sorry i missed that
Quoteno, im saying its false to say that women are being oppressed by men when a lot of mens lives are total shit. if men are oppressing women, they why are they committing suicide 4x as much? why do they lose custody battles more than women? why do international mens day events literally get shut down because of protesting? why do events speaking about PREVENTING FUCKING MALE SUICIDE get PROTESTED?
Quotelets say 1000 people have identical houses in a neighborhood (its a fatass neighborhood). now, one person named billy has his house collapse on him. does that mean the houses are bad? maybe, maybe not. doesnt seem like it, since it only happened to 1 out of 1000 houses. instead, it would be better to look at other causes for why the house collapsed. if you step back and look at the neighborhood at large, theres a 0.1% chance of the house failing. not a huge chance (ik it is in real life but just roll with the example). however, if you zoom in on ol billy, youd think “wow these houses suck, they collapsed on billy.” that doesnt capture a completely description of the neighborhood.
Quoteyouve failed to provide any examples, so for now im staying with 3
Quotesocial advantages then, not rights. although legally, in some states women are automatically granted custody unless she can be proved incapable of parenting, and women are also not requires to enter the draft.
Quote↩ RedEastWood Why is, objectively, being “killed” worse than having trauma?
actually, now that i think about it, that probably isnt objective. id say because the most valuable thing humans possess is life, which means losing life is worse than losing something else. however, life being the most valuable thing humans have probably isnt objective so i rescind that

↩ @'luca nyahoooo' has openly downplayed the trauma for the person carrying the rape baby multiple times in my presence
yea no. again, quit bullshitting. im not downplaying any trauma, im holding a consistent belief that human life is valuable and should be protected.
Quote↩ @'luca nyahoooo' downplaying the trauma of a rape victim giving birth to a baby saying it’s worse for the fetus in the womb with no fucking concept of the world is downplaying rape victims experiences making rape and rape pregnancies like nothing- it’s apart of rape apologist culture, you might not realise this but its the rhetoric.
rape apologist culture does not fucking exist. there are maybe 3 people who think rape is fine, and then everyone around them calls them retards. even if it does exist, i sure as hell am not spreading “rape apologist rhetoric.” convenient that you dont specify what the fuck that is, keeping it vague allows you to just brand anything as rape apologist rhetoric if you disagree with it. and i mean objectively being killed is worse than having trauma. im not downplaying trauma of rape victims, im just being objective. trauma can be mitigated, or worked through in therapy. even if that doesnt happen, youre still alive. if youre dead, thats it. no way to fix that.
Quote↩ @'luca nyahoooo' source: common sense,
its not common sense if youre the only one who believes it. its actually common sense to not automatically assume someone you disagree with is a rape apologist
Quote↩ @'luca nyahoooo' being for banning abortions as a whole excludes mothers who are at risk, you should have made this clear in your wording.
if you mean at risk as in life of the mother, i have literally said in like every post i am fine with abortions only in the cases where the mother would die. how more fucking clear do you want me to be
Quote↩ @'luca nyahoooo' You don’t understand systems of oppression, the people in power. It’s a deeper issue
because they dont exist. there is no systematic oppression of women. the gender pay gap has been debunked hundreds of times since the 1980s. women have higher voter turnout than men. women have the exact same rights men do. if anything, women have more rights than men. women dont have to enter the draft. women are more likely to win child custody. women can make a false allegation against a man and ruin his life or reputation (amber heard vs johnny depp, brett kavanaugh). people literally say to believe all women no matter what. men commit suicide 4 times as much as women do. men make up 90% of workplace fatalities. where the fuck is the oppression of women?
Quote↩ @'luca nyahoooo' Beyond statistics and further into learning about the stories of actual women.
you mean ignoring the actual facts of our society and instead using a couple anecdotes to construe all of society. this is how you come up with shitty ideas. but here is a story from an actual woman i know: she was 20 and got pregnant on accident. she didnt know what to do, so she went and got an abortion. it is one of her biggest regrets, getting that abortion. there are many stories of actual women like this.
