went to my first protest today :33 - Blåhaj Lemmy

sadly, masking yourself when protesting is forbidden here in my country :c
It kinda makes sense, protests are supposed to be peaceful, why bring a mask if your intent is a peaceful protest?
Protest is never peaceful, if it is you’re doing it wrong. It should be non-violent and as respectful as possible but it needs to be disruptive and you can’t be peacefully disruptive
Peaceful and non-violent are synonyms….
No, they aren’t. You must be disruptive, which isn’t peaceful.
How can you be non-violent and not peaceful at the same time lmfao. They mean the exact same thing.
Disruptive doesn’t mean violent, but it isn’t peaceful.
Peaceful and non-violent mean the exact same thing…
Skydiving isn’t peaceful, but it certainly isn’t violent.
What’s not peaceful about skydiving…?
I’d go with the wind, noise, speed, and imminent possiblity of death.

wind, noise, speed.

So going for a drive wouldn’t be peaceful either…?

imminent possiblity of death.

So… driving again? Or riding a motor bike?

Strange example to try and use lol.

Go ahead, take a nice bath, read a book, or do some origami while skydiving, or driving at 200mph with the top down.

Strange example to try and use lol.

You know what is peaceful? Take a hike.

Getting chased by bears is peaceful…? Getting attacked by wasps is peaceful…?

Anything can be twisted one way or the other dude lol.

You’re making petty, empty, semantic “arguments” and you know it.

Also, whoosh.

You started…

And I knew that, lmfao hence why I gave you the same stupid bull shit.

Ah, so if someone catches a charge for disturbing the peace, then they must have been violent?

So yeah skydiving is actually peaceful by definition, no matter which pedantic argument EITHER of us use.

1st definition of peaceful. adjective

free from disturbance; tranquil. "everything was so quiet and peaceful in the early morning" synonyms: tranquil, calm, restful, pleasant, quiet, still, relaxing, soothing, sleepy, silent, soundless, hushed, noiseless, undisturbed, untroubled, private, secluded, solitary, isolated, serene, composed, placid, at peace, at rest, at ease, in repose, reposeful, unworried, unruffled, anxiety-free, content, blissful, secure

You are factually wrong on this statement.

The term is “causing a disturbance” they avoid that term for a very good reason.

You understand a word can mean multiple things… yeah…?

I thought your point was that neither definition fit my usage of peaceful? Is that not what you meant by…

…So yeah skydiving is actually peaceful by definition, no matter which pedantic argument EITHER of us use.

Does skydiving involve war or violence…? It fits both and neither depending on how you twist it… yeesh.
