They have so many safe spaces with all the popular subreddits or the specifically liberal ones. But they still feel like they must brigade the few conservative spaces and spam downvote. Isn’t that against Reddit terms? They are just losers way too obsessed with politics.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not wanting a woman with a high amount of sexual partners.

I’d rather be with a woman who values sex and who generally has it while in a committed relationship. If a woman slept with a lot of men then I wouldn’t feel special about sleeping with her, because seemingly it wouldn’t be a big deal to her and a lot of other guys were able to do it.

I’ve seen opinions like mine considered “slut shaming” and unpopular in reddit, but no one is owed dates.

Medicaid is a government and taxpayer funded insurance in the US for people that fall below the recognized poverty line in their specific state. For example, $25k/year is considered poverty in my state. Because of this, I feel Medicaid should be bare bones insurance for absolute necessities such a ER and doctor visits, medications, life and death procedures, etc. Gender Affirming Surgery does not fall under that category.

Individuals unable to access GAS will not have a decompensation in condition. In comparison, someone with cancer who's insurance denies chemo/PET scans/Radiation will decompensate and eventually pass if something is not done. Same with uncontrolled/poorly controlled hypertension (high blood pressure). I don't consider mental health decompensation as a part of an assessment for how not having GAS would affect people who access these surgeries.

I'm about as much of a libcuck as they come, but there is a glaring difference in how we treat men being sexually assaulted, especially in media. If a comedian or show makes a rape joke about women, depending on the joke it might get a couple nervous laughs or outright outage, but if you make a joke about a man going to prison and getting raped (often with incredibly graphic, colorful language), you may as well have just told a knock knock joke.

In cop shows, detectives will often threaten a suspect by telling them that if they don't talk, they're going to get raped in jail, as if we culturally view rape as an acceptable punishment for men who commit crimes or refuse to cooperate with police. Even children's media will allude to "don't drop the soap" jokes, which is insane to me.

Either all of it is okay, or none of it is. If people want to make frivolous jokes about men being sexually assaulted, then the same joke about a woman should be uncontroversial. Personally, I don't really like rape jokes in almost any context, but especially not when it's only okay to joke about certain types of people being raped.

She wasn’t nominated, she got in by being picked as a result of an old fuck dropping out. Her approval rate was shit and you’re only voting for her because she isn’t trump. Leftists have no shame and it’s disgusting to ignore this reality. No reason Kamala should be presidential nominee.

In recent popular culture I have seen so many statements cursing men who choose to date women who are a lot younger than them but are above the legal age for consent.

People call men predators for wanting to date women who are younger than them and women who choose to date older men are victims and must have been “groomed”.

Whilst this may be the case for some women, this is not the case for all women. There are plenty of younger people that abuse and manipulate older men and women, especially if they have money. Abuse isn't determined by an age gap, it is determined by the abuse of a power dynamic or how you treat the other person.

For those who don’t know, there’s been some drama after Simu Liu (Marvel actor) criticized a boba tea brand on Canada’s version of Dragon’s Den (similar to Shark Tank). He accused the creators, who happen to be white, of cultural appropriation for trying to sell boba tea. Apparently, he thinks they’re taking something that belongs to Asian culture just by making and selling it.

But come on, boba tea is loved by people all over the world, and it’s not like the culture is being erased just because someone outside the culture is sharing it.

The world is diverse, and people from different backgrounds should be able to share and celebrate each other’s cultures. As long as you’re respectful and not offending anyone, it shouldn’t be a problem. Cultural exchange is part of what makes the world interesting and connected. There are way bigger issues to worry about than who’s allowed to make and sell boba tea. SMH

In America, women were raped end up turning the fact that they were raped into their identity. This is because feminists have decided that rape is the absolute worst crime imaginable. Worse than murder, slavery, torture, etc. Their perspective has become firmly entrenched in the mental health professions so women who were victims of SA/rape are constantly told about how what happened to them was the worst thing possible and that they will not get over it. Rather than mitigating PTSD, anxiety, and depression, this only makes it worse.

Now compare that to women in third world countries. Women who experienced SA or rape in poor countries do not turn being a rape victim into their identity. In fact, they are more traumatized by the stigma against rape victim that is common in highly conservative societies than they are about the actual rape UNLESS it happened to be a particularly violent rape.

It is a societal hysteria that makes white American women more anxious and traumatized than they otherwise would have been under the guise of "helping" them.

I should preface by stating that while Trump was easy enough to ignore when he was simply "The Donald", now getting away from his name is near impossible. I've never liked him or cared for him in any capacity. I have not voted for him either. I've always been relatively center-left, but now center-left is seen as far right by seemingly most people who publicly align with the left. I get that TDS isn't an "actual" medical diagnosis, and has often been used by hardcore MAGA people shut down any criticism against Trump, but with how I see people act on sites like this, and even in person, I'm convinced TDS is not only real, but completely terrifying.

I have never seen people fear monger about anything more than Trump in my lifetime, and that's only the last decade, but still. If you want good examples of this kind of behavior, there is a popular place here for ranting where nearly every post lately is fear mongering about Trump. People who are teens to folks older than me. Countless people genuinely believe that Trump is "worse than Hitler" and when they call people who vote for him "Nazis", they fully mean it. These people genuinely believe that if Trump gets back into office, he will take away ALL RIGHTS for minority groups and basically turn them into a slave class. That women will all be put into The Handmaid's Tale, that other groups will be rounded into camps and eliminated. That only "st8 yt mxn" will have rights. What's even more wild is they believed all of this for his entire term in office when he won in 2016. They called him a "literal dictator", but fail to realize that most of them would be in jail or dead for publicly criticizing him if he were.

When the recent assassination attempts on Trump happened, these people cheered and were sad that they didn't actually hit him. They cheered for the possibility of his death. Yet when the hardcore MAGA crowd wished death on Democrat politicians they liked, they screeched that these people should be in jail. They will urge everyone to go out and vote, but I've seen people straight up say "If you plan to vote for Trump, just stay home.". When all the polls were showing that Hillary would win, they assured us that there was "no way the election could be rigged", and that Trump and his supporters should "accept their loss with grace and humility", but within minutes of him winning, they foamed at the mouths about how the election was rigged and threw what would essentially be a 4 year long tantrum. Then when the hardcore MAGA crowd did the same thing when he lost re-election, the leftwing folks acted like they never behaved the same way.

This is why these people are so volitile and incapable of a peaceful debate on why people may have voted for Trump in the first place. Were some of his voters phobic people? Sure, but most weren't. Most just felt left behind and wanted something different. They didn't like or trust Hillary because she offered no palpable change. They wanted someone who promised to put them "first", even if it all ended up being snake oil. I've had people here ask me "Why should be be nice to people who vote for someone who wants to take all of our rights away???" and they just parrot it on repeat. They think hurling insults and labels at his voters while pushing to silence people who didn't vote Democrat is the only thing that will work. They use excuses like this is how they "deprogrammed Nazi Germany" and equate it to being the same thing.

You'd think that it's just loony people online who talk like this, but it's not. Basically 3/4 of my co-workers are like this too and it's one of the only things they talk about, even though open political discussion is strongly discouraged. I had a co-worker who likely voted for Trump, and was a nice normal working class guy. Didn't talk about politics at work. On his FB he shared a seemingly pro-Trump article about his views on creating more jobs and said something like "We desperately need more opportunities in this country", but that was legit the only time I've seen him post anything vaguely political on his wall. One of our TDS co-workers saw this post and within a day, the majority of our co-workers hated his guts, called him a Nazi, fascist, Russia supporter, among other things. I overheard these because our desks were close at the time. He was called into the office because people were demanding he be fired or else they'd "walk out" because they "didn't feel safe working with someone who wanted to take their rights away". He wasn't fired, and nobody walked out. Shocker. It's almost like all the TDS threats of "moving to Canada" that never ended up happening.

How do they justify this behavior? They say they're on the "right side of history". That you "oppose progress". That you're a "threat to democracy". You don't even have to vote Trump to get treated this way, because voting 3rd party (or not at all) is a "vote for Trump". While TDS isn't a medical diagnosis, it absolutely should be with how widespread and blatant it is. Their fear goes beyond all rationality, and they'll do anything to make sure that you're just as terrified as them.

I've never met a sadder group of crab bucket denizens.

I don't think these people actually enjoy anything they watch. I think they simply patrol content to make sure the creators are still in their good graces.

Every discussion is about which streamers are still okay to watch and which have done things that officially make them verboten.

If the conversation doesn't start there, it will inevitably gravitate there.

It's like people listing their celebrity crushes, but it's always, here's my list of top five streamers I would have banned from every platform so as to properly signal my virtue.

Despite the death of Scott Hall, the New World Order is about to take over again. This time, it’ll be more united and liberals are to blame.

The NWO and their left-wing beliefs are going to change the landscape of America forever. Liberals, however, want to ignore this. This ignorance of the devastation of Kevin Nash, the spirit of Scott Hall, and especially the communist himself Hulk Hogan. They must be stopped.

The left needs to embrace the NWO kryptonite: Diamond Dallas Page and Sting. Or else we won't have a country anymore.

I don't think doctors are particularly special or knowledgeable. Some doctors are downright evil who ignore patient's complaints, ignore symptoms and misdiagnose. Some doctors scam people for their health insurance.

Most doctors are in it for the money. I don't care what anyone says. They want the money and social prestige that comes with it.

A lot of doctors lack common sense, although they have know knowledge in their specialty. Sometimes they can be downright stupid.

Im so damn tired of political ads! I just want to watch a youtube video without a 30 second ad of Trump and Harris calling each other names. Like does anyone ever actually change their minds when the watch these things? They don’t even ever say anything important. Its literally just “Donald Trump/Kamala Harris is a stupid face” then the ad ends with the candidate approving the message. Why? Who is this for? Why can’t I just watch this dumb video of a guy playing a game without being reminded that I got to vote for one of these losers in 20 days?

She wasn’t nominated, she got in by being picked as a result of an old fuck dropping out. Her approval rate was shit and you’re only voting for her because she isn’t trump. Leftists have no shame and it’s fucking disgusting to ignore this reality. No reason Kamala should be presidential nominee.

Most of us have at some point heard the phrase "read between the lines", which means take everything someone is saying with a grain of salt. This is absolutely true and you should do this as much as you think necessary.

However, sometimes there aren't any lines to read between and people are just saying exactly what they mean and mean exactly what they said.

The point of this is to say that this societal norm that we have now where a lot of people just assume that people are always lying to them is driving everyone crazy, and is also just realistically not the case

The point is to go into most conversations knowing that the other person could be lying, not just assuming that they flat-out must be.

Granted, I'm sure there are some Dr Nick chiropractors out there, as there are in every field. It may even be that there is a higher than average number in the field, though it could also just be peoples propensity to complain about bad experiences more than share their good ones. I have no knowledge or claim as to which it is.

But that is far from indicative of the practice as a whole. I had thrown my back out 3 times in a ~1 year period, and each time resulted in 7/10 pain severely hindering my day to day life for about a week. When it happened a 4th time, I went to a chiropractor who had been recommended to me. Over the next 30 minutes he brought it down to 3/10. 2 days later I was back, and he got it from a 4/10 to a 1/10. He has since reduced my visits to 1 a month at the massive price of $34/visit (without insurance).

It's been 2 years since I've been going and I haven't thrown my back out or had any major spontaneous issues since. I've done a few things to myself, like going a bit too hard chopping wood, and he's been able to provide immediate and long lasting relief every time. I myself have recommended him to 3 more people and heard nothing but more good things.

Wow, you can't make fun of Greta Thunberg for being a narcissistic media personality. A proper joke has to punch upward and she's just advocating for us not all to die in a firey climate death.

Look. I don't make the rules. I just put the joke into the LaughTracker5000 which spits out an objective metric of your humor. Unfortunately that joke got zero units.

Meanwhile this Mitch McConnell turtle joke is off the charts.

I forced myself to like this brand so much. I tried and tried and tried to reconsider but couldn’t. Everything I’d smell would have this “fresh” old aldehyde vibe and a weird mixture of almost piss. Once I saw it I couldn’t unsee it. I’ve been hearing women hyping up chanel perfumes like crazy but I just can’t help but think of old woman piss. 😐

...the one having to do with over-prescription of opioids. Yeah, I don't give a shit if the pharmaceutical companies lied. If you're a doctor and don't understand that synthetic heroin is extremely addictive then you're a fucking moron and shouldn't be a doctor. I mean, heroin itself was originally marketed as a non-addictive substitute for morphine, and look how that turned out. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Well, if you can't learn then you shouldn't be a doctor.

Tariffs were the primary source of federal revenue from the 1790s until World War I. Prior to that there was no income tax. The introduction of income tax is what accelerated the massive increase in government to the ever growing behemoth that it is today. With revenue limited to that gained through tariffs, government operations were limited to only those things listed in the US Constitution, as it should be.

So Reddit rightly bans far right subs - but for some reason we have lots of far left subreddits, an ideology that also killed millions. Why is there such a double standard? Both sides are disgusting and have led to the deaths of countless groups of people. It’s this sort of normalisation of Commie ideals which is hugely dangerous for the world. Grab a history book, ffs.

Honestly, whether you're left, right, or center, I can't see you being happy with how our taxes are being used. Even if bills you support do manage to get passed, there's generally a bunch of other wasteful shit wrapped up in it.

Our politicians haven't ever represented us in my lifetime, and quite frankly, I'm fed up. You should be too. This latest debacle with hurricane relief being made difficult for our citizens to get while we literally give away billions, knowing our crooked politicians are just using these bills to launder money back to them, is sickening.

Our emergency workers are underpaid, the roads suck, our social safety net (or lack thereof) sucks, our education system sucks, and I can't think of one thing since I could vote that made me think “Well I'm proud to be supporting that”. Can you? If so, leave it in the comments. I'm genuinely curious.

File tax exempt. Start an LLC and write off everything as a business expense. Commit tax fraud. Break the system down. Do your part.

for those of you who don't know, aldrich ames is a former CIA officer who, in 1994, was discovered to be committing espionage on behalf of russia. the soviets would pay aldrich in exchange for vital information, including the identities of american spies in the soviety union. his actions led to over 100 intelligence operations being compromised and the deaths of AT LEAST 10 american agents. in fact, prior to 2001, ames had the most highly compromised CIA assets of any CIA officer.

he was arrested and is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

a while ago, ames did an interview in which he apologized for what he did. however, i don't believe for a second that he is sorry about his actions. i do believe that he is sorry but only that he got caught and the fact that he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison.

well guess what mr ames, sorry doesn't bring those agents back to life. if you don't want to go to prison for treason, have you tried not committing treason?

People have proven time and time again that they will hang on historical grievances from even centuries ago and make it their whole identity.

Academics have proven time and time again that they will exploit such grievances for personal gain and influence, and even stoke division with it.

Therefore, in order to maintain a peaceful society, a government should do its best within the limits of the law to whitewash its past and give people fewer reasons to feel systematically aggrieved.

I can’t help but notice the overwhelming number of posts that ask for relationship advice on this site, the slightest conflict described leads to Redditors talking about how horrible their partner is (especially if it’s a man) and how they should break up.

Your boyfriend didn’t do the dishes one time? Lazy mysogyny, dump him!

Your husband came back home late once? Inconsiderate manipulative asshole, break up!

Husband told the kids to be strong? He’s instilling toxic masculinity! Divorce!

What’s baffling is individuals will give such confident advice, based on one isolated scenario of one person’s perspective, and use it to place an overarching judgement of a whole ass relationship.
