  • Radio is licensed to transmit at certain levels on certain frequencies, Spotify does not transmit in open air.

    Point to where I said it was happening. I said taxis were licensed because of crazy shit like rapists driving people to word places and having at. You don't get that with Uber.

  • Man who calls women "females" hopes to one day be allowed within 500 meters of one
  • No, it was wif - man. I offered a source, an indignant nuh uh is not a source so how about you go and get one.

    adult female human," late Old English wimman, wiman (plural wimmen), literally "woman-man," alteration of wifman (plural wifmen) "woman, female servant" (8c.), a compound of wif "woman" (see wife) + man "human being" (in Old English used in reference to both sexes; see man (n.)). Compare Dutch vrouwmens "wife," literally "woman-man."

    Compare that to female.

    early 14c., female, femele, "woman, human being of the sex which brings forth young," from Old French femelle "woman, female" (12c.), from Medieval Latin femella "a female," from Latin femella "young female, girl," diminutive of femina "woman, a female" ("woman, female," literally "she who suckles," from PIE root *dhe(i)- "to suck").

    Which one seems to you to be more sexist and therefore dehumanizing? The one who's derived from the concept of a wife as property or the one based on Latin for basically can breastfeed.

    Property v fucking life creator

  • That's literally what it does. Taxis didn't have monopoly, they have a licensed job specifically because unlicensed taxis were dangerous and people at the time were getting shanghaied.

  • Stone Rule
  • It's not at all one of the seven wonders of the world, is not even the coolest henge in England and like maybe 5 top five in Europe. It's just famous because it was restored well within your parents lifetime for most of us.

  • I’ve got a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty baby, and I’ll write your name: Just Stop Oil paint private jets hours after Taylor Swift’s lands
  • It makes perfect sense.

    "It's literally rocks.." Whats just rocks? Stonehenge!

    "You're valuing human life less than rocks, I think that says more about you than them."

    What are the protestors protesting for? Climate change.

    Ie. If vandalizing Stonehenge is a bigger issue to you than climate change then you're valuing human life less than rocks.

    It could not be any more clear and I think that's pretty evident based on the lack of offering a better wording.
