Your question is why I considered a sweeping generalization about a group of people to be bigoted?
Just clarifying here. You are confused about why assigning a stereotype to people based on genetic traits came off as bigotry.
Oh your feelings were hurt after you stereotyped me? Boo freaken hoo
I am not an incel. I have been with my wife for 13 years. My eldest is 9. Before I met her I did more than alright in dating, thank you very much.
I am not right-wing. I consider myself a centralist but in practice I vote democratic the vast majority of the time.
I have never found crypto to be impressive but yeah I do have a few hundred in it because meh why not? I bought 20 bucks worth years ago and didn't sell.
As I explained to you I don't exactly get veto power over my clients and I am not in a position where I can storm off when Koch comes by with an order. If you want a fucking purity test go work for that overpriced ice cream place in Vermont. Just don't come crying to me when they make you watch videos about issues you disagree with. I live in the real world where it isn't realistic to only do business with people who 100% agree with me on every issue and have never ever done something wrong.
It's funny how you demand this from me but wouldn't yell at some guy working at a McDonald's for filling Cheney's order. Shows how consistent you are but demand that I be more consistent. Hypocrisy.
Must be nice on that high horse. You go enjoy yourself. I am going to deal with the real world, warts and all.
