  I agree. Having sex with women is the gayest thing a straight man could do.

  My man, almost every worker you have ever interacted with is doing that job out of desperation. That doesn’t stop you in every other case so why choose this issue to start being concerned about their motivations?

  If the lowest percentage on the screen is 20% then you get nothing even if I was planning on giving 20%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best way to turn off people and get lower tips⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nudity aside, 100% tip on a total of less than $10 is way more reasonable than 100% on a $100 total

  Congrats, you just made the argument for abandoning these platforms and the excuse for not doing so in the same post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You understand you’re equating two vastly different things, right? One idea is rooted in scientific research and the other is rooted in racism and bigotry. If those two things seem equal to you then you’re not paying as much attention as you think you are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t Look Up director says ‘half a billion people’ have now seen film despite critics⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For real though, film critics are largely useless these days. It’s like they can’t tell the difference between a film made for Cannes and a film made for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Not everything needs to be deep and meaningful on a personal level. Films shouldn’t be penalized for not being something they were never intended to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Par for the course⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This kind of thing is an interesting topic. Obviously Zuck is a shit bag but that’s not what I’m talking about.

  I’m not one to say that men are being repressed or that masculinity is under attack, although I do think elements of both of those things are true if the statements are interpreted in a generous fashion. I’ve found that people will accept the general statement that men have problems but talking about men’s issues in any detail is usually met with scorn. You can say “men have problems like everybody else” and that’s generally tolerated but if you say “X Y or Z is a problem for men” then all of a sudden you’re misogynistic or otherwise associating yourself with team white male privilege. I see this happen essentially every time the topic comes up. The vibe seems to be “we’re dealing with everyone else’s problems so we don’t have time to listen to your complaints”.

  People like Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate have made a career out of listening to those problems. They offer shitty solutions and horrible explanations but they’re paying attention and in return they get views from people who don’t feel like anyone else is. There are a lot of guys out there doing their best to be good people who need to feel like their problems matter to society. You don’t have to abandon the things that are important to you to listen to them. Just commiserate a bit and a lot of them will be happy to listen to your problems in return. That’s how empathy is supposed to work.

  Aramaic is an ancient language used by some Middle Eastern cultures which reached its peak usage during the height of the Roman Empire. It is not the modern Arabic language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These dames wanting inclusivity⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently not. The world would be a much better place if we all stopped making such a big deal about specific trigger words and focused on the ideas being communicated. If someone’s intent was to be an asshole then sure, get the pitchforks out, but make it clear it’s the idea that’s bad. Don’t just scapegoat the word. If they weren’t obviously trying to be a dick then calibrate your response accordingly.

  To put it another way, if you’re upset about the use of a word that a scientist might use to describe something then you’re probably being overly sensitive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to techbros from the 90s to now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That accurately describes just about every industry and business in America. MBAs are the most overrated educational path in the world. The characteristics of a leech in human form.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So I cut my wrist and black my eyes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tom did it right. He is what all social media execs should have been (afaik, he may be a terrible person in secret but all evidence I’ve seen points to the contrary). He built a popular site, made his money, then fucked off into the sunset without trying to ruin society for a bit more money.

  I’m guessing you mean just the disposable kind of drones popularized in Ukraine? We’ve been dropping hellfire missles from Reaper drones at 10,000+ feet for a couple of decades now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The burden of being different⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an interesting concept but no way I would play that. Building a career is a boring concept in real life. I don’t want to emulate someone else doing something I wish I didn’t have to do in real life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to retain your sanity while married⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being content despite less than ideal circumstances is not a character flaw. Deferring to a partner with stronger preferences is not laziness. Stop conflating things you don’t understand with bad behavior.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to retain your sanity while married⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your example ends with the man realizing that he actually did care about the hotel when in reality he would have probably said something like “oh well, we’re only going to be here a few hours and we’ll be unconscious for most of them”. That is what it means when someone says they don’t care. They’re not hiding their true feelings from you just to be annoying.

  If you are tired of making decisions tell the other person to book the hotel. Most laid back people will be fine with that. Just don’t complain if that ends with you not getting what you wanted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ohh ...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If that’s the lesson then when were we supposed to learn it? I am old enough to remember very well the last time Democrats tried to do something about healthcare. They gave up on single payer before the debate even started. Was that when I was supposed to learn to vote for them harder or was it one of the times they fucked over the only person with actual plans to implement universal healthcare?

  Yes, Democrats are clearly better than the fascists masquerading as conservatives, but that doesn’t mean they’re fighting the good fight. They don’t even try to force a vote on most things people actually care about. They just throw up their hands and complain that doing things is hard. Then everyone sits around blaming voters for not loving these ineffectual dipshits enough. Fuck that, they suck it’s been that way for a lot more than 12 years.

  I think it would be easier to convince a few people to take out more CEOs than it would be to convince all the progressives in America that the DNC is worth investing more energy in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creep. Smdh⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, I keep seeing people quoting stuff outside of the bible like biblical truth, like The Rapture, and stuff from Dante’s Inferno which is, at best, Bible fan-fic.

  So much of the average person’s understanding of Christianity comes from sources other than the Bible. That is true for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is a really interesting phenomenon. So many arguments over things that are essentially unrelated to the actual debate people think they are having.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t have to do this. They’re choosing to. It’s not like these guys can just walk into the unemployment office and say “I’d like one CEO job please”. There’s more people interested in executive positions than there are positions available. Why is it only acceptable to use that knowledge to negotiate lower wages for lower ranking positions?
