  • Then you are willfully ignoring the powers that your government has.

    You’re not wrong to say it’s all being influenced to the point of almost total control by the people with the money, but it’s not correct to say that both parties are equivalent and will pursue the same policies. Or that voting makes no difference.

    It absolutely does matter, and you’re either being disingenuous, or getting high on some copium.

    Please go vote, Jesus






  • When I was around 14 I tried listening to the bible on audio book, couldn’t even make it past genesis (or the one after?) because of how terrible the writing was.

    Like, bible, I don’t want to hear the entire fucking lineage of every single character you’re introducing. Appendices would have been much appreciated.

    Never tried again because I was an edgy 14 year old atheist who was only doing it to be able to “win” arguments on the topic.

    Ahh to be a hormonal teenager…


  • Society has reinforced that women should be passive, and even after much progress on that front in general, somehow this still applies in some people’s minds.

    I would guess.

    No biggie though, depends what you personality traits you yourself are looking for, if being proactive is one of them, then I guess you haven’t missed out 😅

    And if you weren’t interested and the friend is yelling at you angrily, that’s mega questionable. Last I checked, no one is obligated to be interested romantically in anyone else…


  • I haven’t read much on the topic, so forgive me for my ramble:

    I agree with this sentiment. And find myself particularly cringing to people I agree with, espousing something as a FACT, as a part of their argument.

    To me, science (my personal philosophy) is the best way we have to determine what is likely to be true, and the best way we have to describe the world in which we live.

    When people start saying things like “and that’s a FACT” like it somehow makes their position more credible, annoys me greatly.

    Getting ahead of the semantics, I don’t have an issue with the word itself, as being “something true”. Just that when people use it as something being self-evident. And I see it happening a lot, even with people saying something I agree with.
