Why didn’t they just say “in all states…” puzzles me. What other states can we be talking about?

Your neighbour, Mexico, has states for one.

Yeah, but no one actually lives there, right? And if they do, they’re certainly not on the internet.

All countries are states, and a good handful or so countries are federations which call their largest constituencies states, so Germany for example has states, as does Malaysia, as does Australia.

Edit: just reading now that there’s no consensus on what a state is exactly, so, fuck knows.

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

  • Personal appearance (“You’re fat”, “You’re ugly”)
  • Posts with little-to-no context
  • Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
  • Dick jokes, “Yo mama”, “No, you” type responses and other low effort insults
  • “Your values are bad” without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong (“I believe in capitalism” - “Well, then you must be evil” or “Fuck you you ignorant asshole”)

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.
