Controversial but I can’t help but be curious…

What is going on with those faces?! lol

All hobbies that don’t involve a screen. I’ve been having serious mobility issues, where standing for more than a few minutes is painful and I leave the house only in my wheelchair. It makes going to restaurants, concerts and events difficult. Makes going on hikes impossible or even existing in parks more painful than pleasurable.

Appreciate your legs y’all. :(

I worked for a newspaper overseeing delivery drivers, one of which was regularly hotboxing his car while waiting for his route to be printed. He wasn’t subtle and he was always a little out of it. My bosses said it wasn’t our problem because technically he was a contractor, not an hourly employee. His route took place around 2 AM so with empty roads it hadn’t really been a problem, but I didn’t want indirect blood on my hands when it invariably DID become a problem.

So I called in a suspicious driving report after he left the warehouse one night. The next night his route was being done by someone else. I worry that I caused him long term trouble by involving the police, but I try to balance that against the potential trouble of a crash.

Idk, I don’t regret my choice, but I do still feel conflicted when I think on it.

Oooooh that’s good! I’m gonna try incorporating that in to my day to day. Ty!

This is an oversimplification, but tldr…

Tankies are Authoritarian communist, as opposed to democratic or liberal communism. It refers to when the soviet union put down rebellion in Hungry and Czechoslovakia by rolling in the tanks. It prioritizes order over individual freedoms.

Don’t give money to Nazis no matter what.

But it does help that each and everyone of those brand objectively suck in their respective field.

Oh that was it. My mom used to say it a lot. Sort of a meta answer I suppose. 😂

When getting advice, consider if the speakers life is one you want for yourself.

I smoked for a couple years but gave it up when a new GF complained. I know I’m lucky af for this… but I quit just over a single weekend. Physically it wasn’t a big deal for me. I only miss the social aspect of meeting new random strangers. This was about a decade ago and don’t have any cravings at all.

Booze? I used to binge drink in my 20s, not healthy mentally or physically, but once I hit 30 it felt like my tolerance dissapered and hangovers lasted days. Only on the rarest occasions do I have a single cocktail at a restaurant. Like maybe every 6 months or so.

Do a fair amount of CBD and CBN for pain relief, and around bedtime THC, but all that is edibles.

Transition decades earlier. Or more precisely have the courage, vocabulary and fortitude to stand up to my religious mother and bigoted father. I always knew what I wanted, but they both insisted on doing football and weight lifting, no matter how out of place and unnatural those environments felt to me.

You do you, we’re all entitled to our opinions but super duper hard disagree there.

On characters alone it shows up the originals, Jyn and Andor have much more nuanced reasons to be in the rebellion than than either Han or Leia which leads to stronger story arcs.

Waaaah…

Menace and Jedi sure, absolutely trash. But Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie.

Mark Zuckerberg Liked this post.

Context matters. If it’s alongside some alt right bigotry, then yes. If it’s just a dumb joke about frens and feels, then not at all.

Just how the Christian cross can be a hate sign or a sign of community. In vacuum these are just symbols a collection of shapes and color. Much like these individual pictographic letters combine to make words and sentences. When pepe is used to convey hate, then he is quite literally a hate symbol, but not in any other.

HA!

I feel like I should be annoyed at the headline, but honestly it’s clever. Veganism isn’t just a diet, but an ethical framework on minimizing harm so this fits all three aspects in the articles.

• I support artists who had their work stolen as part of dataset, it’s largely the same reason I don’t eat animals, it’s all about consent. Being harmed without consent is always wrong.

• Likewise the environmental footprint of meat and AI are massive and unnecessary. The carbon footprint between meat and plant protein is massive, just like the difference between building more data centers and supporting existing artists.

• AI is bad for your mental health, we don’t really have complete research on what exactly AI does to our brains but I’ve seen enough people thinking they “unlocked sentience”, became “digital gods” and started AI “relationships” to steer clear for my own protection. Not dissimilar to the studies that show a plant based diet is better for your heart and immune system. I’d still be eating plants even if it were bad for my health, I care more about the ethical side, but existing research very much shows it as a net positive.

Neat concept.

If I have to pick a burger, then same! But if we’re talking vegan fast food options than my first choice is always gonna be fresco style burritos at 🌮 🔔

Just curious, what was the male version?

I don’t know you, how could I have possibly pre-formed an opinion WITHOUT reading your post? I’m sorry, but that is just ludicrous and a poor deflection.

Yet also a predictable one based off the responses you gave to those who were forgiving. I’m critical of your actions so somehow unfair and biased, but those saying “That camp police dude is just a wannabe white knight” are applauded. This thread wasn’t a sanity check, it was you fishing for affirmations and apparently that is all you will accept.

Bottom line, you were removed from a space for saying creepy things to women. You should spend more time reflecting why it was inappropriate than writing threads on how “camp police” went overboard with punishment.

I think you’re far too old to be this obtuse. Older men complementing younger women “especially when naked” is always going to be read as sexual. Intentions matter far less than actions, so if you want to insist that you didn’t mean to be creepy, that doesn’t change the reality that what you said to her was exponentially creepy.

Honestly, this reads less you taking responsibility for your actions and more at venting your frustrations at her and the community for not hearing you out enough. Even though she gave you multiple chances to do exactly that.

Top to bottom inappropriate behavior.
