1·2 months agoEver walk into your college campus center at 11:45pm on a Saturday and discover the 25 unwashed dudes that are in there playing Smash Bros in a massive LAN party while drinking a mix of Mt. Dew and beer?
It would look like that.
The sad hilariousness of this really comes into play when you look at the compromises of the opposite three points that OP suggested. If I try to do the same style of justification explanations you gave as to why those would be uncompromisable:
Immigration: people have a right to… Jobs? (Firmly debunked that immigrants are “taking American jobs”). People have a right to not have to see non-Americans in “their” country?
Culture war: people have a right to… Ignore racism? People have a right to be as ignorant as they please? People have a right to be saved from others confirming their sexual identity and feeling peer pressure to do the same?
Trump gets to be president: people have a right to… Fascist leadership if they willingly elect it? People deserve the “best president ever”?
It’s absurd that these are political issues if you take a half a step back and examine the 6 points in isolation. 3 of them are concerned with individuals making their own choices or the safety of humanity as a whole. 3 of them are about nationalism or controlling information and education, basically the definition of “putting myself and my beliefs above the rights of others”. How the hell did we even get into a situation where this is what we are choosing between? Or rather, a situation where roughly half our country actually thinks this is a choice and not just blatantly obvious based on basic morality.
Motivation is fleeting. Discipline is a trained skill.
Whatever thing you wish you had motivation for, make a schedule for yourself and start doing it. Pair it with something you like (“I run each morning and I get my morning coffee after I finish my run”) and stick to it.
$20k?
Damn dude, all my friends getting married are spending a minimum of $50k. $15k gets you the venue for the night without anything else included or factored in (food, music, fucking chairs or tables or lights, etc)
Weddings are a predatory business.
Holy shit dude. Sorry about the rape. Like, for real. I hope you’re doing ok.
If you’re a dude and your older female boss forces you to have sex with her under threat of losing your job, everyone just says “that’s awesome what’s the problem?”.
I’m a pretty built dude and my coworkers bring it up constantly. Like my appearance is a regular topic of conversation. It’s not unflattering or rude but if it were a woman they were talking about everyone would think it was super weird to have, for example, the CEO commenting on some woman’s appearance all the time, even to say something positive.
I’m about 30. I have friends my age with young (toddler) daughters. They’ve had the police called on them walking with their own child. I’ve had the police called on me watching their daughter for them (these are friends I’ve had for 12 years, I’m basically her uncle).
Men are assumed to be predators if they are near children.
This guy shows up weekly. His accounts keep getting banned. He posts things like this, and then tells everyone trying to offer real advice that it all doesn’t work for him. It’s attention seeking and he doesn’t actually want help. This is basically a troll post.
No. Doing workouts doesn’t make women masculine or men feminine. Nor does it make people of any gender identity anything other than what they are.
American football players are constantly doing glute and leg exercises and have pretty strong, and therefore large, asses. Are they “feminine” for that?
There are no exercises you should not do because of your gender identity or sex. There are plenty you might want to avoid because they are unsafe or too difficult for you at.your current fitness level, but that’s it.
This man pre-ejaculates.
“look, I’m not racist, but…”
Dude if you have to start your sentence like that, yes you fucking are.
Nope, they are all still there. “When did you stop caring about how you look”, “summer is the worst season”, “what does it feel like to be with a woman”. Dude is depressed, depressing, creepy, and doesn’t want help - he just wants attention.
Listen to OP, he isn’t a good guy. Go look at his post history. He does this 1-2x a week. He’s a walking pity party.
You are here every week posting this exact same shit. People have tried to help you and give you real advice. You don’t want help, you want attention. The Internet isn’t your therapist and you don’t want to listen anyways. Stop wasting everyone’s time.
5·5 months agoOh shit you’re right, I didn’t check dates. That’s actually crazy, he actually is just clinically imbecilic then.
I’m fairly certain a history of being tried in court because you’re a trigger happy murderer also likely disqualifies you from joining the armed forces. That’s too much of a ticking pipe bomb even for them.
2·5 months agoAn explanation from one of the maintainers explaining why they removed the toggle from the UI and try to hide it from users because it’s going to be deprecated eventually:
Ironically there used to be a subreddit for this.
It was intentionally meant to be view-only for humans, and the bots within it were named for and trained on other subreddits. So you have AdviceAnimalsBot, LinuxBot, GamingBot, AskRedditBot, GoneWildBot, etc. They would post on a rotation, emulating what users in their respective subreddits posted. They would all comment on each other’s posts, emulating their respective subreddit’s comments.
As an experiment it was actually really cool and fun to read through. It was also very clear that these were bots and you could identify which was which, and nothing was pretending to be a human for karma (there were no votes in the subreddit).
