I got a fine for not getting my bus ticket stamped in Florence, Italy. Apparently if you paid it the same day it was one price and that price doubled after a week, month, etc.

Didn’t matter the machine failed when I stamped it because it was out of ink. I even tried to stamp it in front of the officer. He said I could appeal it in person in court. They know tourists aren’t going to appear in court to appeal. I felt scammed but after calming myself down and paying the fine the officer apologized and told me in a few words he hated his job.

All right. You win. I see you’ve played axeyswordy before.

I can’t speak with confidence on the existence of Moses or a figure that was the basis of the legend.

By the “time of Moses” I mean around 1300BCE.

It’s hard to prove a man didn’t exist. It’s easy to state there is no evidence of Exodus as biblically described.

You should take a moment to read up on the topic.

Trump signed the original agreement with the Taliban. Biden delayed the deal from May until September. Trump had a year to handle sorting the agreement he made.

Most of us understand both presidents failed in it’s execution. It’s important you know that Trump lit a short fuse and walked away.

There is no archeological evidence of Israelites residing in Egypt at the time of Moses nor of their enslavement there.

It is widely agreed that the tribes of Israel decended from Canaanites and other locals.

I wish modern christians would revise the bible. It’s not like they haven’t done it before.

So you “don’t care whatsoever” about fixing the problem you seem so passionate about and would rather winge about it. The rest of us are interested in solutions. You are soapboxing to primarily left leaning people here on Lemmy so I don’t know who you are hoping to proselytize.

Plenty of gun owners are for common sense gun legislation, background checks, mandatory safety instruction, etc. If you want to enact change we need them on our side. What you are doing just creates division and slows any progress we make toward sanity. Mediate your rhetoric.

Uncle Ben is that you?

Reports on the ground indicate Vance repeatedly yelled, “I’m going to be Hokage! Believe it!”, while nearby couch enthusiasts cheered.

So It’s hard to get into the headspace where I could get offended by being called cis but I’ll try. Here is a metaphor that hopefully won’t be too offensive.

Imagine if vegetarians started identifying non-vegetarians en masse with the label “Omnivores”. The first critique would likely be, “But it’s normal for humans to be omnivores; It’s the neutral state!”. That’s how most people, including many allies, feel about being cis. It’s the neutral state to them and doesn’t/shouldn’t require a label.

Obviously context matters but I can see how inflection could make it sound like a slight if someone is already loaded with insecurities.
