- Comment on How do we get people to drop the saying, "It's my money and I should be allowed to be stupid with it."? 3 hours ago:
Sure, if you want to see it that way. But considering they’ve gotten tired of having to listen to you and they still haven’t changed their minds on the subject, I don’t know if you could call that a victory on your part.
I don’t know you from Adam so maybe this take is off, but based on your post and your responses here, you seem somewhat more concerned with being right than actually getting people to be receptive to your ideas. I’d suggest reflecting on that if you really want to make a difference.

Typically, when someone tosses a “thought-terminating cliche” or “ultimate argument-ender” at you, it’s not because they think it’ll make them “win” the argument. It’s because they want to be done talking to you.
- Comment on Other (non-American?) superhero movie franchises besides Marvel and DC? 1 week ago:
Legit might be the best segue from Marvel/DC movies; the setting is exactly based on (and highly cognizant of) American comic book heroes. All Might even serves as a genuinely fascinating portrait of what Superman might look like if he was just some human and not a practically immortal alien.

Hate to break it to you sport, but you’re the one who keeps coming back for more. The only one wasting your time here is you.
But please, don’t let me distract you from your “neighbour”; I’m sure they’re a real handful.

Lol you’re confronted with the fact that literally everyone disagrees with you and rather than accept the L and grow from it, your response is “well you’re all fascists anyway.”
I kinda thought you were trolling at first, but now I’m positive you’re seriousーyou can’t fake this level of insecurity. Don’t worry champ, you’ll grow out of it eventually.

Well, seeing as not a single person in this thread thus far has responded to you in a positive way, I probably do lol

Have you ever considered writing an encyclopedia? You have so much wisdom to share.
- Comment on That'll be $100k per credit hour, please. 2 weeks ago:
Am American, can confirm. Not only do they make you take the classes, they make you retake them every year. I usually don’t mind though because it means I get to chill out and game for a couple hours while I let the videos play on mute.
- Comment on why do we punish people when nothing bad happened ? 3 weeks ago:
Imagine someone points a gun into a crowd, closes their eyes, and pulls the trigger, but the gun jams so no bullet is fired and everyone is fine. Do you think that person should be let off scot-free just because nothing bad happened?
- Comment on Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used? 1 month ago:
I mean, there’s also historical context to be considered here. Throughout history (and still today in many places) women have been treated as subhuman, or at least as lesser to men; in many cultures, married women were literally considered the chattel of their husbands. In that context, using the term “female” which almost explicitly carries no connotations of personhood feels a lot more like a hateful slur. I don’t think “male” really carries that same historical baggage, though.
- Comment on Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used? 1 month ago:
To add on, I’ve found that referring to human women as “females” in anything other than formal or scientific contexts has adopted something of a sour taste in recent years. The practice is often associated with incel/misogynistic behavior and ideology, probably because it implicitly strips women of their personhood and reduces them to their gender. Put another way, both a female dog and a female human could be called a “female”, but only one could be called a “woman”.
That’s my own two cents though, take them with a grain of salt.

- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 3 months ago:
This is exactly why I’ve stayed working for the same company for the last 6 years. I could definitely go elsewhere and get paid more (job hopping for higher salary is pretty common in my field), but I seriously doubt they’d be as cool with my senior dog’s frequent vet appointments.
- Comment on Justice, ParkMobile is finally forced to pay up. 1 year ago:
I worked as a pizza delivery man at the same restaurant for 6 years. My severance was my old car topper.
Haven’t had to pay for parking since. Thing is worth its weight in gold.
