- Comment on Newsom Says Trump Is Destroying U.S. Democracy in Speech on L.A. Protests 2 days ago:
I think Mr. Newsom should get a heavily armed state funded (as in not federal) escort to protect himself as I honestly don’t believe that trump will allow him to go on for much longer
Man the US is speed running off a cliff here.
But things were soooo bad under Biden! Things are much better now, aren’t they?

Most of that can be traced back to Elmo being a giant idiot who got lucky because he lies all the fucking Time about everything. Everything he promoted, every promise he made over more than the past decade, its all been lies that people have been lapping up because reasons
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 6 days ago:
As sad as that was, the article only mentions that the family suspects it was the operation as they “don’t know what else could have caused the suicide”, to paraphrase it.
Not saying that Lasik couldn’t cause any of these issues, just that this particular example is just a suspicion

- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 1 week ago:
Like Wikipedia says: <citation needed>
I’m sure studies haven been done, and I’d love to see them.
Where, though, what demographics? What types of people, men, women, rich, poor, what language, what culture, what ethnicity? All of those matter.
I can tell you right now that Muslims would probably cheat less, mostly because of less opportunities and the extreme punishments involved. Mexicans, on the other hand, different story. Having lived there for two decades in different cities over the country, having had friends in different layers, rich, poor, brown, white… I can tell you from personal anecdotal experience there that 80+% cheats or has cheated. You can meet a new guy and presume he has cheated or will cheat. Some guys cheat weekly, some women cheat weekly. There are fuck hotels within a 500 meter radius in whatever city you are. Cheating is also seen differently than in Muslim countries.
Yeah, loads of people cheat and if you really believe it’s only 10% then I got a bridge to sell you.

Mobile phone keyboards have little to do with vision, though
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Yeah here is the thing: honor killings still happen in Muslim families in the west.
Not saying her family is that extreme, but they could very well be. If a Muslim girl tells you that she can’t tell her parents about you, idk trust her on her word. I know the feeling, it sucks, but that is part of the deal you made when you got serious with a Muslim girl

Source on that?
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 1 week ago:
There definitely are risks and i feel doctors can be too cavalier about those risks
Having said that, i got the procedure done 5 years ago, and install have better than 20/20 vision. The only issue inhad afterwards was that i could see things up to 1cm away from my eye ball, now that is 30cm at the least and since the last year or so i cannot read the 2 pixel size texts on medicine bottles anymore
Beyond that, I’m super happy with the result

- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 1 week ago:
No you’re not.
Cheating doesn’t automatically make a person bad, it makes a person a human being. Mist people cheat, and I’d say that most “cheating sessions” happen without the spouse knowing. It happens and usually there are underlying reasons ranging from “he just really really likes sex” to “they never have sex together” to a host of other reasons. I don’t think that the reason “he’s an asshole” is the real reason, ever.
Having said that; even if your dad cheated just and only just because he wanted to be an asshole to your mom, that still doesn’t mean that anything should have to change between you and your dad.
Your dad is your dad. Anyone trying to forcibly change that is raising a host of red flags.
I understand your mother feels hurt right now but if she isn’t able to see beyond that hurt what your best interests are then maybe she is actually the problem, not your father.

Cut the rope was a great game. If this is from the company behind them then I applaud how they’re handing trolling
- Comment on Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body? 1 week ago:
NAD.
Having said that, if your “primary” heart is having issues it’s usually something that a second heart wouldn’t be able to bypass.
For example, if the heart chambers are just fluttering then your second heart could try to take over, but I imagine that if the primary failing one would cause so much ruckus that the secondary wouldn’t be able to keep up normal blood flow.
I imagine a better system with some electronics that can either work as a pacemaker or take over completely in an emergency situation by just plain stopping the heart and taking over until help arrives, or something like that.
Again, NAD

- Comment on Anon tries to save money 2 weeks ago:
Piracy free?
100TB isn’t free Fast internet connections ain’t free VPN ain’t free Hundreds of hours ain’t free
What is free is the freedom that comes with just being able to watch whatever the hell I want to watch when I want to watch it, without ads, without “oh now we found another way to make money, we shuffle media between providers so now pay someone else too if you want to finish this show”

Being a step mother still is being a mother. Who cares if the mother is trans, she apparently takes good enough care of the kid for him to want to give her a flower, that’s all that matters
- Comment on If comey can be investigated by the secret service for an Instagram tweet what is stopping elon from taking hold of politicians/reporters accounts and making posts that will get them investigated? 3 weeks ago:
Dear baby Jesus, dude, go watch some “news” from US sources? Everyone just went with the program and there is very little pushback from the press. Oh yeah, there is pushback but it’s a fraction of what it could be, should be.
- Comment on If comey can be investigated by the secret service for an Instagram tweet what is stopping elon from taking hold of politicians/reporters accounts and making posts that will get them investigated? 3 weeks ago:
You haven’t watched the news lately, have you? Trump simply says you’re a traitor and you’ll be “investigated” as in someone will write a doc saying why you should be deported (you’re a terrorist! Evidence not required) and you’ll be on a flight out.
This current US government really doesn’t give a shit about facts

But in reality it’s not fucked up, it’s just who you are and what you like, though again your tight ass upbringing may have given you some ideas

Sounds like your partner has a lot more issues than just add. Have you ever looked into narcissistic behavior?
- Comment on If comey can be investigated by the secret service for an Instagram tweet what is stopping elon from taking hold of politicians/reporters accounts and making posts that will get them investigated? 3 weeks ago:
You’re quite enthusiastic there with the idea that anyone would actually investigate any of that instead of just saying “yeap, treason!”
