You need better reading comprehension.

I agree, I used to be a Duolingo user but over time they pushed me to seek alternatives and LingoDeer is such a better app. It’s probably the best in language learning apps at the moment.

Pain has a scientific definition, right?

Scientifically speaking, pain requires pain receptors, nerves and the like, so trees feel no pain. But the point that other people are trying to make, if I understand correctly, is that plants have agency and can perceive their environment and adapt in a way that’s not too dissimilar from animals, and you may think of the stimulus that causes them to adapt to survive as analogous to pain. Personally I find where we draw lines in scientific knowledge arbitrary at times, such as with some taxonomy, or how viruses are often not thought of as alive because they don’t fit a definition that’s man-made. So I can see why people would say plants may feel some kind of pain, just not the way we do as animals, and that depending on how we agree to define pain it may or may not count.

Well, if you want to talk about some Soviet vegetables, we can.

Sounds like he may be a socially progressive liberal.

You do support the right of liberals to be moderate over my right to be alive and my country to not be invaded, based on your own words. You also don’t even know how to spell Uyghur, nor anything else on the matter.

If people are okay with, say, me and my family being genocided just because of where we were born, why should I care whether they identify as moderate or whatever else? Again, don’t agree with genocide and wars on our countries and you’re welcome. It’s not that much to ask lmao.

We have a very simple purity test, don’t support genocide or wars on the global south and we have no issue with you. If you can’t agree on that much then there’s no reason why we should accommodate you.

The downfall of imperialism can’t come soon enough.

Yeah, it’s so frustrating talking to liberals about anything that requires good faith and having a better memory than a goldfish.

Also unrelated, but lovely name.

Capitalists hate this one simple trick!

It’s not confusing if you have been paying attention this year.

Depending on what you mean by saving us, I don’t think China will, but they’re not invading random countries, staging coups, droning civilians, etc, so these two countries are not even remotely comparable.

Yikes.

“Trump is the true communist”

Elixir.

I spent every other evening for a week trying to install fedora.

Skill issue.

China is the factory of the world, and even then they’re constantly told they’re bad, and that they should be destroyed, etc. The difference is that they’re the most industrialized and well organized country out there so they can call the bluff.

It’s okay, Comrade Sharkfucker
