Yeah, they don’t even get great PR.
- Comment on The town and HOA only have two settings for a holiday: Jesus and Troops. I guess Labor days is a "Troops" holiday. 5 days ago:
They exist because trashy disrespectful people exist.

We are under attack.
- Comment on Woman refuses to pay restaurant bill 1 week ago:
It’s really sad to see someone at a very low point in their life.
- Comment on Walmart actually teaches their employees how to get food stamps 1 week ago:
Many places won’t rent to someone that cannot prove monthly income greater than 3x the rent.
- Comment on Why is the approach to nudity and sex in films and tv so vastly different between the US and Europe? 1 week ago:
And just like that, suddenly Alles Scheiße is no longer cool, go figure.
Europeans are the masters of nihilism. It’s kind of honestly surprising your birth rates aren’t lower. We have our own growing culture of nihilism to battle and we certainly don’t need it harder.
Americans are far from prudes, but there’s a place and a time for nudity. If we allowed public nudity in advertisements, half of our billboards would turn into porn. If you don’t believe me, look at any state that’s legalize marijuana: it seems literally half of all advertising is for weed. Maybe if we didn’t have hyper aggressive market forces we could relax our laws a bit.

Are you European? Do you think nothing matters? I have been around far too many Europeans that think that way and definitely do not look towards Europe for what I want America to be. Is it the desensitization of nudity? Probably not alone. But it’s one tiny piece of the nihilistic puzzle.
Look, you have it, you enjoyed it, and now it’s no longer a big deal. In other words, you no longer enjoy it like you once did. We’d rather not go that way. Everything in moderation. We’ll save the cyberpunk dystopia for another day.

I think Americans are mostly terrified of European nihilism and don’t want to fall into the same trap.
- Comment on It's never been about helping people 2 weeks ago:
I’ve said far milder stuff than this and had my comment removed for incivility.
- Comment on Choose a major you love 2 weeks ago:
And how’s that going?
- Comment on Funny how that works 2 weeks ago:
Everyone you post it you should put it in quotes and end it with --nonentity for a stylist touch.
- Comment on Funny how that works 2 weeks ago:
Do you just post this everywhere?
- Comment on Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing. 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
If you want men to like your body, yes. Personally, I don’t want that.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
You made the implied assertion that people need to like it because it’s natural.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t that for you to decide?
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 2 weeks ago:
Natural body is a polite way of framing ungroomed. Men nor women like seeing poor hygiene. Some types of poor hygiene are seen as worse than others. Dirty hair? Sorta gross. Body hair? Disgusting.
