this is odd because it seems to me that if culture is such that apps are now giving 37 different gender options, you'd think that would be a culture that skews democrat over republican. I guess the idea is gender identity options on tinder enrages a subset of the population to such a degree that it outweighed consideration on other issues and led to trump, which is kind of like a modern day barabbas. yeah I guess that is sort of funny when you think about it

I'm not a big fan of Trump, but the whole make fun of him because of things like "Space Force" thing drives me nuts. He's not the first person to propose it, and other Democrats have proposed it as well. He didn't just pull that out of nowhere. The media relentlessly criticizes him for things that they supported in the past from their liberal presidents and candidates. I think Trump does a lot of stupid shit, but the media is obviously biased when it comes to Trump.

Space Force coming from Trump is special because of how his proclivity toward petty domination and distracting tactics make it just another example of him focusing on something stupid in light of what should be primary. If Obama had proposed space force it probably wouldn't have been to distract from his treason or because of a star wars tier understanding of future space conflict. if it was, people would criticize him too. if you separate out the character of the people and just look at their relative priorities in light of what else is going on around them, its clear trump just isn't very good at sorting out how to handle whats important at the time, and i think that's why people say he's stupid, not because they are unfairly leveling criticism at him that others would escape for no reason. it has to do with the context trump brings and finds himself in. I mean in light of what all is happening trump is either a genius tier visionary for proposing space force, or a total dunce. given how he was so easily played by NK the former seems unlikely. making fun of anyone is wrong on some trivial level, and doesn't make the victim somehow more right because technically no one should ever mock anyone. its too easy a criticism of the criticism to say "no one deserves to be mocked" as if that acts to defend the actual policy that incited the mockery. you could find a policy justification for any stupid idea on those grounds making it effectively worthless as a means of evaluation
He seems to consistently say loud, stupid stuff precisely when he wants to distract people from reports of his latest fiasco.
Trump has the attention span of a goldfish and the depth of knowledge of an oil slick on a rain puddle. "Stupid shit" is the very definition of what Trump does.

you can talk about the weaknesses of a type or an individual without hating other individuals of that type.. in fact its the ability to do this that makes self development from socionics possible, since you have to do this with respect to yourself. i.e.: recognize your own weaknesses arising from type, and from individual, separate yourself from them as a different possible future individual, and attempt to be more like that person. if person = type = every other person of that type, then we're all robots acting out eachother's sins without hope of rising above ourselves. there's an implicit surrender to determinism and then people simply try to distance their associations with other people of the type or retype them something else without realizing the premise that maybe thats necessary because they connected is wrong, i.e.: they're not connected. if typology is implicitly a categorical scheme of deterministic groups we're all sorting eachother into, its just arising out of our implicitly prejudicial approach to other people.. its that we never really give anyone else, or ourselves, a chance. if thats the case nothing really matters anyway since we're all just acting out our preprogrammed routines and whether who hates who is more or less a meaningless claim because its all a foregone conclusion anyway

I think it's about me personaly, I really don't know when people are joking or not. I don't understand intentions either.
Couldn't read between the lines if my life depended on it.
There are some people with whom it's impossible to tell and ask, because the mere question is like an insult or something, idk. I can't tell... -w-
Then again, you aren't responsible for my confusion. You seem open to questions and to clarify your point and that's enough.
Ok... I guess I'd take my some time to get your style of humor.
Without the non-verbal part of the communication this is often hard to tell. Facial expressions or intonations provide additional information.
In boards emotions are meant for showing the non-verbal part of content.
I doubt that I'm so sweet. My impression is that you assumed I'm a woman based on my nickname, but this is a false.
I can tell you that I'm a man... at least last time I checked... anyway, Winnie is a name for both men and women.
It's also my official nickname, good friends and other family members are used to call me that name.
I had to learn the meaning of non-verbal communication. I noticed it but for me it was more like a foreign language when I was younger.
...but languages can be learned.
I guess there are a least two options.
You are not interested in understanding non-verbal communication or you are interested in it but it's difficult to understand for you.
Aspergers might be a cause... but I'm not a specialist to do a proper diagnosis.
The questions is, does this cause problems in your life, do you suffer from that circumstance?
...and I guess I de-rail this thread thematically any further...
Ha, you could be a bear or a girafe, once in a while I give people "sweetness", "darling", or something. Gender don't matter to me very much.
I am looking towards seeing a specialist in autism, because that is a problem and I cannot fix it no matter how much I tried.I had to learn the meaning of non-verbal communication. I noticed it but for me it was more like a foreign language when I was younger.

That's why I say so, if people know then we may be able to reach each other somewhere in the middle.
