  • I mean I don’t wanna play “Blame the victim”, but, come the fuck on…

    You can’t say you don’t want to do something then proceed to do it. I mean, you can but obviously if you didn’t want to play the card you could have chosen not to play it.

    That’s coming from someone that commits the same sin at times but I’m trying hard to curb that.

    If you’re going to say you don’t want to do something just don’t do it.

    Also, our civil liberties should be protected everywhere, the institution is in the wrong here. Just because someone has a particular gender identity should not matter.



  • Idk I think because of how much force needs to be contained by the restraint it is rigid for a reason. My guess is there is an engineering reason based on physics.

    Also you don’t want people to be falling asleep while driving (anymore than already happens) so maybe that’s a factor too? Like it’s not meant to be a pillow lol

    True some can’t adjust the angle, but obviously none of them protrude the ridiculous amount shown in the post.

    I’m not sure how this isn’t a joke, clearly it’s a riff on how headrests can be weirdly uncomfortable at times. Anyways, if you’re chilling with your head against that the whole time you’re driving you’re not doing it right.

    Isn’t that literally everyone who owns digital games? All your shit on Steam is a license to use the software, you don’t actually own any of those games.

    I mean, I get the point, cosmetics and such and anything virtual is not tangible in the real world but let’s not pretend we aren’t all doing that with every game we spend money on.

    Having said that, the amount of money companies charge for some of this stuff is outrageous. Luckily, nobody is pointing a gun to your head forcing you to buy it!


  • I think the problem most people have is that they expect things to happen instantaneously

    In my experience it’s oftentimes men that are looking to date women way more attractive than them. Like some fat slob incel that refuses to date or bang a chubby chick and then gets mad they’re not picking up women that are hot AF and upset “nobody will date [them].”

    It’s stupid, I know a guy on discord just like that. Unattractive fat guy and when I mentioned I think the biggest thing to coupling is being realistic and dating people about the same attractive level … Dude balked at that. Was like “what about a guy that has a great personality,” the man is delusional. No job, on food stamps and just getting by, living in a one bedroom (maybe studio?) apt, slobby and fat then hits the surprise Pikachu face that women don’t want to date him. Not to mention his social skills. Talk about a total lack of self awareness.

    Sure maybe if you were extremely rich a woman might overlook your physical appearance but let’s be realistic here.

    That to me is the problem most people have but I agree with the instantaneous thing too - it takes time to get in the groove so to speak. I’ve seen it go both ways gender wise just picking on my fellow dudes here.



  • I think it’s more along the lines of you’re being disingenuous with the lens you’re applying. Sure, the current admin, and future Harris if elected, can certainly be criticized on foreign policy around Israel and Gaza. The flip side is the context that Trump would be so much worse and doing the same shit except even worse. Harris openly discusses a two state solution.

    The point is, the two presidential candidates do differ and you’re implying they don’t. Regardless of your political bent, I’m pretty far on the left side, you have to admit in reality we have a two party system and one is better for the future of the people of Gaza.

    Hence, we should all vote accordingly. I think mostly it’s that you’re implying we shouldn’t vote Harris when the alternative is worse.
