You respect people more for admitting mistakes. Others decide people who make mistakes are unreliable and respect people who don't appear to make mistakes.

I think sacrificing lives to defend a country's sovereignity against an invader is generally more excusable than sacrificing lives to a technical accident by not accepting aid. I'm sure the same Ukrainians that are the sacrifices in the former case would generally be more eager to sacrifice themselves in the former case than in the latter.
Indeed, I've heard quite a few opinions to the effect of "I will sacrifice my life if I have to, to defend my country/my family/my culture/kill those fuckers". I've heard "I will sacrifice my life if it means my country doesn't have to show weakness" far less often.

Maybe the reason why I keep getting baffled by all those "actually this elite progressive is a pro-paedo" is that on the ground level, I see pretty much no increase in tolerance towards paedos. In fact the age gap taboo keeps expanding to cover age gaps between adults. If all those elites are pushing LGBT for the nefarious purpose of adding P, they don't seem to be doing a good job at all. Their successes, if any, of 50-100 years ago are completely negated.

No need to cook up an "actually women don't think about things"-like explanation where "it's painfully obvious for anyone who is in college or would want to go there that you wouldn't be able to go to college if you were a 1800s peasant" suffices.
Frankly, I'm tempted to write off many mottizen politically incorrect posts as "they actually haven't evaluated those ideas, they just learned to rehash Wrongthink (and quote 1984isms while doing so) to feed their compulsive contrarianism". Do you believe that would be charitable? Or even falsifiable?

Well since you asked, I think it's retarded. I also said that in more words the last 5 times you asked.

I would hazard a guess that a peace platform with "Russian separatists in Donbass" in 2021 and a peace platform with Russia shelling you and rolling the tanks in in 2022 are two different peace platforms.

Women object to dick pics because they find most of them unsexy, not because they find them too sexy to function.

Nerds are low value and high inhibition. (Defining "value" here as "able to get sex without rape"). THey are the ones who get bullied, but it is the low value low inhibition types who rape (and often bully).

You're being overly charitable to middle-schoolers if you think most of bullying is that "they didn't know better". They know better well enough, they simply don't care.

Consider that the next iteration of targeted ads is not to recommend you the product you 'genuinely are interested in', but to manipulate you in a more targeted way than generic manipulative ads.

I doubt anyone is really that much cowed by the legacy of Genghis Khan, more like he's too irrelevant to cancel the Pope over, unlike Russia.

Nobility, as far as I understand it, is about owning land, developing it and those who dwell on it and protecting it and them from harm. (Whatever "bloodline" and "good stock" are, they only contribute to nobility as much as they contribute to what nobles do). Perhaps Burdensome has neglected to mention everything he does that makes him, as he puts it, "better", but from what I gathered from his post he moves money around the Western market and earns a premium based on how much of it ends up in his employers' hands. Hardly evokes an image of a noble patriarch, that.

I think you overestimate how much trepidation the average scriptwriter feels before progressives, as opposed to support.

Aging is merely the ability of the body to repair itself breaking down. Who says we mustn't repair that one, too? (Rhetorical question, Christians!)

In other words, objective truth is more important to me than either your ego or your life.
No, your ego is nore important to you than objective truth. Objective truth does not require that people accept it; it is enough to be correct. "I am correct and you must admit it" is the ego speaking.

I've seen a (possibly) female profile on a horny subreddit, and in her profile there's a vent post about how she feels worthless because everyone only values her for sex. My sister in Christ, how am I supposed to value you for anything else when all you present (on this profile, at least) are cybersex offers!? At least suggest something, anything else to talk about! Sorry, "being a human person I don't know" is not interesting enough. There are 8 billion people offering that.

Maybe they're changelings who are used to courts working like Faerie courts do - with the proper phrasing being more vital than who's holding the guns.

Which is silly. Russia lacks the capacity to do it again.
Even in my wildest anti-Russian fantasies do I not believe that Russia, if given a peace and concessions instead of some kind of "a lesson", would lack the capacity to do it again.

What? No. Sovereignity is specifically about the control you have over the territory. Pride is more about keeping face.
So? Did Odessa disappear in a puff of historical consistency?
All that "legacy" is for Ukraine right now is a casus belli for Russia.
"She needed to lie about him to protect her reputation" is the real banger here. Something on the level of "he had to rape her to avoid being called a virgin".
