That’s a whole lot of assumptions to make based on a couple of still images with no context, I think. “Obedient” about the first image especially weirded me out, I have to say.
likes to party and have fun
I always laugh at ‘likes to have fun’. It’s a completely meaningless phrase, since “fun” is subjectively defined. Boils down to “likes to do stuff they like”.
self-confident
But aren’t a large number of tattoos/piercings more correlated with low self-esteem?
That being said I also don’t believe it makes sense to tell others what they can and can’t do with their body.
To be fair, the OP is not actually doing that, “should we ban it” is obviously a joke. He’s just saying it’s unattractive. Similar comments have been made about all kinds of people/aesthetics with far more vitriol than the OP (a random example I witnessed personally some years back was someone saying men under 6’ tall should kill themselves, and getting plenty of agreement within their own bubble (was on Tumblr, iirc)).
The OP is honestly a ‘whatever’ post to me, doesn’t move the needle at all, and honestly doesn’t deserve to be engaged with at all. And the response is just an extremely basic ‘they don’t like you either’ that’s just as cringy as the OP imo, if you’re looking at both of them without bias toward either point of view.
All the more reason for parents to be actively involved with their children, especially at those ages.
It doesn’t cost you anything to refrain from using the word “morons”
That’s why I didn’t use it.
That was “Mastengwe”. Pay attention to who you’re replying to next time.
That goes for all of the people who upvoted your comment, too. Shameful.
You can have empathy while simultaneously realizing they obviously have no case.
The article quotes an attorney representing the families saying that the videos were “material they can’t turn away from”. Come on, now. Those kids weren’t Clockwork Orange’d. Let’s return to reality.
Reminder that you’re someone who reacts to being told condoms are less convenient to use than long-term hormonal contraception by claiming the person who told you hates women, lol.
You know I’m right. There’s no other explanation for devolving into nonsensical personal insults while simultaneously completely evading my rebuttals.
So I accept your concession.
But you will hear them saying they don’t want to raise taxes, thinking it will affect them with their low income.
You presume to know what they’re thinking, you mean. Have you never considered the possibility that they’re simply adhering to the point of view that you shouldn’t have to pay over and over for the ‘privilege’ of continuing to own what you own?
Taxes can be targeted at the ultra-wealthy, but low-information people have been made to believe they will be taxed.
You assume they believe that because they’re ignorant. But what if they just know their history? The income tax started with the exact same promise, a tax targeting only the wealthy, but somehow, we all have to pay it now, too.
The populace has every reason to be skeptical of taxes ‘targeting’ only the wealthiest among us.
Keep repeating it’s “nonsensical” doesn’t make it nonsensical.
It’s not my repetition that makes it nonsensical, it’s the fact that assets are purchased with already-taxed money. Having to pay the government for the ‘privilege’ of continuing to own what you’ve purchased, in perpetuity, is nonsensical, full stop.
Wrong. France had a wealth tax for decades.
And this was the result (emphasis added):
Capital flight since the ISF wealth tax’s creation in 1988 amounts to ca. €200 billion; The ISF causes an annual fiscal shortfall of €7 billion, or about twice what it yields
And it’s very telling that linking to speculation about some arbitrary future date is your response to being called out on your lies re the trends of life expectancy, educational attainment, and poverty. Your inability to own up to any of your falsehoods makes you pointless to continue engaging with. The statistics are crystal clear—your assertions are demonstrably bunk.
This reply serves only to directly contradict the most obvious additional falsehoods, for others who may read this exchange, before I move on.
Good luck getting enough volunteers to work in and maintain a sewer system.
I accept your concession.
Most likely not even the 3%, but a much smaller minority pushing the system as hard as possible.
Similar to how most successful freemium games are propped up by a tiny minority of “whales” who spend many orders of magnitude more than the vast majority of players.
Equivocating selfishness with evil only serves to dilute the word “evil” into meaninglessness.
Most people understand that “evil” requires malicious intent to harm others. Mere selfishness does not qualify.
Or do you believe a child who refuses to share their toys is “evil”, too?
pedophile child
“Stop calling me that, mom, my girlfriend and me are both 12!”
Reminder that perpetuation of child molesters looking a certain way helps child molesters who don’t look that way get away with their crimes.
He’s likely going to have mental health issues now
Now?
I have seen comments like this thousands of times, but I’ve never seen a single example of anyone genuinely expressing this sentiment.
Even if you ignore ethics and assume the billionaires are benevolent - it’s just a bad investment to invest majority of resources to a small number of investments. Does any successful large project hold 99% of their investments in few projects? It’s absurd.
Small number of investments? Billionaires have shitloads of investments, what are you talking about?
Some women like that little dance of rejecting and the guy not giving up, but even then only if they think you’re cute beforehand. But most women will just find that creepy and off-putting.
The big frustration comes with the fact that the “most” women above are still happily consuming the romance movies/novels with the toxic paradigm you describe, along with the “some”. And then they’ll turn around and get indignant about it existing in real life, while promoting/encouraging it culturally simultaneously.
Look at the colossal sales figures for 50 Shades of Grey, what percentage of that do you think came from men?
Do you believe that anytime anyone agrees to do something, but only if they get paid, that they’re being exploited?
…she’s just looking off to the side.
Why are so many people acting like they can psychoanalyze people from a single still image of them? lol
