Finish that "non-violence is ineffective" essay (it's dense). Join the collective on the front lines. Results: A) we gather steam and ultimately succeed. B) martyrdom gives my death meaning. C) prison provides healthcare and three squares. D) prison is so awful that we revisit B.

As far as using non conventional pronouns irl, you probably haven't heard it since it is genuinely dangerous to be outed in a lot of places.

This is usually true enough for rule of thumb, but can vary wildly by geography. I would be willing to help smuggle a gender minority out of a rural zone, whereas I wouldn't be too surprised to hear "ze/zim" in some cities. In general, the GSRM community will appreciate a cis ally signaling ally-ship. OP, as long as it's safe for you, the community would appreciate your announcing pronouns; it signals that you are not a totally garbage human.

Yes, it is a power that should be used responsibly. Just as one shouldn't block every stupid commenter, only the egregious ones, the likes and dislikes should be saved pretty much for the bigots outing themselves.

How dare you. Now I'm going to remember your username. I will hunt down your IRL identity, and ... send you sugar free gummy bears in the mail.

Seriously, though, haven't you looked at a comment with up or downvotes and thought to yourself, "If I block every idiot that did that, my timeline would be a little less stupid"?

I heard a rumor you can look at the usernames who dislike a post or comment on a specific app. This is what I want: help taking the trash out.

According to the inventors of sin, sin is a crime or offense against God. If there is no deity, sin is impossible to commit. Also, they say all sin is equal: you are equally condemned for committing murder or for looking at someone lustfully. So this question, as worded, is deceptively hard to answer.

If you're asking "what's the most awesome thing you've done that people would consider a sin" well, I'd probably add to the list of people who answered with atheism, as questioning and searching for the truth is taboo in Abrahamic societies.

If you're asking "what's the most awful thing you've done?" Well, it might be somewhat tame, but I wake up in a cold sweat sometimes when I think about it. Imagine a 13-year-old kid confident of having the answers to someone's questions, when a life is on the line.

That the US Government killed MLK. I looked at the Wikipedia article (I'm saying my knowledge is not that in-depth, don't @ me), and the case in either direction is less than compelling to me. I'd say if the government didn't kill King, it would have been a matter of time.

I've had no luck trying in Connect and Liftoff. Jerboa recently broke for me so I can't check. Can't do it in browser either. 😔

Oh, I wasn't referring to your problems with TLJ, I was referring to people who make hating TLJ their whole personality--you know, the ones you can allow to talk for about a minute and three different bigotry colors will shine bright. There's "TLJ was bad," then there's these guys, who usually can't stop talking about Rey.

As a replacement option for thunder foot, try Paulogia. I enjoy Viced Rhino for more scientific looks at anti-evolution claims, but he might be too condescending for you; he does have at least one playlist where he explains all the evidence for evolution without reacting to any one person that you might enjoy, though.

Honestly, like some other comments pointed out, you may be happier with explanations that aren't framed as responses. Philosophy Tube comes to mind. Just be aware that no matter the tone, condescension may be steeped into a person's massage.

Gosh, you remember more about that movie than I do; I spent a lot of the time in that theater waiting for the plot to develop. Or, you know, character interactions to change. I felt like the movie should have been cut in half. But rather than hate on Rey being a main character, I'll just get on with my life tyvm.
