  no, i just think i don’t like dealing with idiots like yourself who’s perogotive is to abscond anything you read that makes you feel any cognitive dissonance.

  i have nothing good to say to those who can’t engage in good-faith discussion, like yourself. you’re part of the problem with the world nowadays.

  um yes? because it’s the truth? do some research before posting man. even if you were alive back then that doesn’t mean you knew wtf was up everywhere in the country with every demographic.

  apologies for reddit as a source but full time wage in 1974 for mcdonald’s was, coupled with program like the GI program, absolutely more than enough capital to buy a family home. don’t spread misinformation. remember what was stolen, or for some never even given.

  my only disagreement is that unfortunately they’ve succeeded in pushing the overton window so hard that the ratio is actually much more controversial than the comment implies. if only every edgelord here read and seriously considered this.

  nope. i know what i said and i meant it.

  they start like this. then they become shitty, abusive incels in adulthood. then they vote for people like the cadre of neofascist in western politics rn.

  the incel to fascist pipeline is real and dangerous. and i won’t act like those who fall down it are victims and not complicit monsters anymore.

  this is a fair point, i don’t disagree. it’s valid to call me out on conflating ideas of common decency with absolute morality.

  that said, there are certain things that if you do; definitely make you a bad person. i think to the recently viral tweet of the ivy league ethics & philosophy professor who was absolutely aghast at incoming students’ ideas of morality. it speaks to the problem in this thread.

  no actually, i’m done sitting and acting like that sort of shit is acceptable, no thanks.

  paradox of tolerance demands you completely and decisively shut these fucks down before they takeover your society with their shitty ass rhetoric of hate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  lmfao what a fucking excuse of a reason. i hope you know i hate you. not hyperbole. i hope everyone else knows i hate you too. like genuinely, and actually; blatantly being a terrible person like you are is a large part of what is wrong with the world and i despise every single one of you chucklefucks that inches us every further away from decency day by day.

  do you recognize you’re doing olympic level mental gymnastics in order to make the people you identify with in the internet story the good guys or are you just incredibly dense and/or like fucking with people for kicks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  seriously jesus fucking christ what about this in particular is making it such a good litmus test to root out shitty people? they’re all just immediately, unironically, unabashedly identifying themselves in the comments here, just like that lmfao.

  absolute trash is absolute trash ig.

  hard agree i actually think france’s method of counting is pretty intuitive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has marital problems⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i’m responding to this one comment but more generally to the sentiment:

  i know this is just a green text

  however, it still pisses me off. that’s the written word for ya, huh?

  i think you’re one of the people who kind of gets that tho, it’s why im responding here.

  the well wishes mean a lot, but, i don’t know if you’re ever truly in a better spot after that.

  all we can do is make it better for the next guy. i used to think suicide was the answer. i realized if i was willing to hurt myself i should be willing to help.

  token “im an atheist,” but i really think it doesn’t matter what you think. things are right for inherent reasons beyond us. only so many ways to cut a cake and all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has marital problems⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i’m sure if we continue down a rabbit hole of discourse i’ll find multiple points where we can agree, but overall it seems we might have different outlooks on life.

  that’s okay; people are allowed to be different!

  i appreciate your civility and hope i didn’t offend.

  remember to live well and for others, u/Classy. if only we all could.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has marital problems⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  are you and the 93 people who upvoted you crazy??

  lmfao in what fucking world is serving divorce papers and then tearing them up right after they’re signed not even just a little bit toxic, if not emotionally abusive?

  maybe a fucking adam sandler movie but this is real life.

  think before you do stupid shit? other people don’t owe you discretion bc you’re an idiot? “uwu but what about the wife’s feeeeelings???” brother man grow tf up this isn’t a high school fling it’s a marriage. if you wanted to pull shit like this, why did you change it from girlfriend/boyfriend to husband/wife? was that about feelings too?

  oop shouldve ran when they had the chance and the papers were signed.

  sorry as someone who grew up as a child caught between this stupid shit people like you piss me off so much. this is traumatic for all involved.

  note this is good normally but terrible advice if you have ocd. idk what everyone else’s experience is like but i got so obsessive over handwashing that my skin started to slough off of my hands from how frequently i began to do it. turns out that what constitutes an activity versus a moment is really hard to tell when you’re mentally ill af. no good.

  now, this’n right here kids is a prime specimen of what those highfalutin desk jockeys call a “global citizen.”

  i misheard lady gaga’s bad romance the first few times. “want you in my rear window, baby, you’re sick;” came across to me as “while in morrowind, your baby is sick.” thought it was a commentary of some sorts lmao.
