To a degree where you can stomach it of course, having friends with opposing views, especially politically, is very healthy and beneficial.
IMHO...
- 100%! I have far right oriented friends and I'm totally OK with their views. We argue and shit but I respect them and they respect me and that's all that countsrenderedred
- One of my really close and dear friends is a fascist. For real.renderedred
- Same with religion, I'm an atheist and have a few very religious friends. That's fine too.renderedred
- whatever...oey_oey
- +_-oey_oey
- Fascists... that’s probably past the point of something I can stomach. I have conservative and religious friends.jagara
- It’s beneficial of course until their views are so disgustingly bigoted, racist, hateful and fear based nonsense that they can’t be stomached.monospaced
- Hence the stomach part.jagara
- i get what you guys are saying, but as long as the discourse is civil and respectful, i have no problem. and it is, even with the fascist. other than that...renderedred
- he's a great guy.renderedred
- he helped me more than once in various ways knowing fully what i believe. for example. and vice versa.renderedred
- 'he's a great guy'
absolute peak liberalism. all fash should follow their leaders and be hanging upside-down from lamp posts.face_melter - make them live in fear and crawl back under their fucking rocks. and if you're 'ok' with them, then you're complicit in their actions. sorry, not sorry.face_melter
- bUt TeH DiSCourSe!!!!11! fuck me.face_melter
- sMasH thE fAsh!Gnash
- To be clear, I never meant completely diametrically opposed views. That's probably not possible, at least bot for for most people.jagara
- *notjagara
- yeah but nah .. I have a very old friend who we have been drifting apart for a while now.. then called me a couple of weeks back and he has totally drunkenautoflavour
- koolaid and to be honest, i lost all will to engage. he has sent me a few messages and i have left it on unread. people can have opposing views, but yepautoflavour
- my life is busy enough as it is with people i dont have to struggle with, the thought of now dealing with this, especially given its not even his country, nope.autoflavour
- was disappointing tho.. made me question so much of our friendship now as I sense he has been like this the whole time and just hiding it..autoflavour
- and what kind of friendship can it be if one person has to hide who they truly are.. regardless of political flavour. bad taste for sureautoflavour
- and very disappointing.. you dont have to agree with everyone, but red hat is not my vibe at allautoflavour

Elon Musk
The X exodus - could Bluesky spike spark end of Elon Musk's social media platform?
- no, because he'd buy it for billions a nd run that into the ground as well_niko

- x will always remain relevant for those looking for uncensored informationhotroddy

- uncensored and unverifiedd_gitale
- verified by? World Health Organization? WHO? WHO?hotroddy
- If you want 'verified info' tune into Corporate media. No point in blue skyhotroddy
- Verified Botsutopian
- verified by 50 FBI agentshotroddy
- Why do you say uncensored? Reddit is moderated, not against free speech, but against people being cunts.Ianbolton
- What about the pile on, for the paediatrician, who was bullied and abused because people couldn’t read and thought she was a pedophile?Ianbolton
- And the amount of Bots on Twitter is obscene. Elon could stop them, but I think he likes muddying the water - to encourage freedumb. Hotroddy, you’re a dick!Ianbolton
- The Founding Fathers understood the dangers of government overreach, especially when it comes to controlling information.hotroddy
- You might dislike it, but as long as legislators (Democrats) are perceived as attempting to impose 'guardrails' on free speech..hotroddy
- The other side will be seen as the defenders of free speech.hotroddy
- Kamala has more in common with authoritarian gov't (Maduro, Ortega, Lula, JingPin) than you think. They all shut down twitter in the name of promoting 'hate'hotroddy
- be careful who you insult online Ian. You may get a knock from the crown police.hotroddy
- Yeah but being anti-vaxx, flat-earth, racist, religious zealot, sandy hook hoaxer, pro gun fucking Karen isn’t free speech it’s idiocy._niko
- Idiocy at best, dangerous at worst. Just because you voted in a complete moron and he appointed slightly less moronic idiots in all important posts doesn’t mean_niko

- i don't understand what you mean about guardrails on speech. The only time i see that are from 10 year old being silly.Ianbolton
- Yesterday Elon reposted about how the UK is now a police state. It's bullshit, and he know's it. If you go out into the streets, most people are just getting onIanbolton
- The media and Elon are both wanking themselves into a frenzy of illiberal nonsense. In real life, there is no mental breakdown just people trying to get onIanbolton

Old day catch-ups?
I’ve not been here for a bit.I lost my hearing kind of suddenly and was deaf for about a decade, then a few years ago got a cochlear implant and it’s all back and sound is so beautiful and I connect my brain to anything with bluetooth. I closed down my studio in the US and moved back to NZ and got a little spot on an island at a nude beach and spend my days painting and diving. I teach some figure drawing and work on a few private commissions. It's a slow and calm existence. Besides a twitter account, I’m not on the internet so much these days but do like to check in here and read through and I still recognise a few names.
- That’s amazing!monospaced
- damn! I thought about you this week! how are the kids doing? do you still have that studio?oey_oey
- oh, I just read your post.oey_oey
- :-) kids are all getting older and starting to move out on their own - but keep coming back for laundry and foodbjladams

fight of the day
That was silly. Glad it was free, glad there were some earlier fights that were great.
Just totally silly.
Paul post-fight saying Tyson is the GOAT... NOBODY THINKS THAT. There isn't a single list of top boxers of all time that has Tyson at #1.
- agree. it was a circus.renderedred
- That was shitd_gitale
- best ear biter?
But I think an argument can be made for peak Tyson vs peak anybody._niko - Netflix is free?nb
- They streamed it for free for non-subscribers as well.palimpsest
- nb - always starting shit for no reason. We're talking about the Tyson fight not netflix you walking dildocanoe

Is Paul just showing the guy respect? he could have knocked the man senseless a few times now.

fight of the day
tyson is looking old. When will Paul fight someone in their prime. Everyone else has been retired
- He should fight Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua. Those would be fun to watch.maquito

- I sold a kidney, and went all-in with a Z 9 with some supporting cast, I am mean glass. They took the non-stone kidney.thenohero
- nice. debating on getting the 24-120 f4 or the 24-70 f2.8 thinking the f4 is all I need but I hate the protruding focus.HijoDMaite
- I also love internal zoom, yet that 24-120 f/4 is an all day & all travel lens, and epic at that. You will own it one way or another.thenohero
- the 24-70 f/2.8 is just going to drive nuts until you complete the trifecta with the 14-24mm 2.8 & 70-200mm 2.8. Devil's grass.thenohero
