What do you secretly judge people for?
  • That's the exception for me. If the screen is cracked, but it bothers them I sympathize, but if it's cracked and they throw their phone around and get mad as if it was the phone's fault then I super, super judge them.

  • Should you trust that doctor?
  • How in the heckin' is JD below a dwarf, a mad scientist tinkerer, and a random catchy band?

    He is a caring, trained, and competent doctor who will put his pride and personal life aside to help a patient.

  • If you could only have 1GB of entertainment data, what would it be?
  • A compressed version of the Shrek movie.

    Make it 480p at 18 frames instead of 24, then compress the audio as much as needed, I already know most of the lines.

    There is no god, only Shrek.

    It's all Ogre now.

  • That bear didn't do anything that was unpredictable, it did what a bear does. I never said a bear wouldn't maul you, treat it as a bear.

    I didn't say women aren't unpredictable, that's a weird take at best, and an argument on a logical fallacy at worst.

    I didn't imply that women can't be just as evil as men, they absolutely can, because they're human beings. Same for anybody who's non-binary, they're just humans.

    I'm sorry that happened to you, nobody deserves abuse.

    I don't understand what you mean by data source. It was an internet trend and some men, not all, got really pissy that some women, not all, chose bear instead of man. A friend explained to me why they might do that and it makes sense, at the end of the day it's people sharing their opinions, and sometimes trying to understand others opinions helps us understand them better.

    I don't see how it's sexist, I see no proof, only your opinion based on talking points. Same goes for it being transphobic, it doesn't make sense to me, please clarify.

    If anything this is just a conversation, not proof, your word is worth just as much as mine. We're just two people sharing our opinions, that's it.

  • Tbf a friend had to explain it to me, when the debate went viral at first I was mainly confused. I'm sure when I was younger I would have been one of the men with delicate egos that would find it irrational to not choose a man. It's actually more thought out and rational when women say bear.

  • The question isn't sexist, it's emotionally driven, and dismissing it outright is narrow minded. That is what I think is dangerous.

    The truth is the question reveals that to most women asked the question, men are unpredictable, and women have to navigate the world that way.

    A bear is a bear, it's always going to do what it does, and you can work around that. Leave it alone and it will leave you alone, even if you have to work hard to avoid it. If you disturb it, it will kill you. It's predictable.

    Men on the other hand are very likely to respect women, maybe even work together. However, there is the small, small, SMALL chance that they will be a terrible person. They could attack, abuse, sexually assault, straight up rape, or even kill the woman; or they could do a disgusting combination of those.

    The true root of the question isn't "do you think a random man is more dangerous than a wild animal?" Of course not.

    The real question being put on a social scale is "what's more predictably dangerous, a random man, or a wild animal?" And the fact that women almost unanimously have the same answer should be commentary enough on how they have to live their lives.

  • Las Vegas staff say MrBeast should be blacklisted, cite OSHA, setting medics for failure
  • I get that, I think the difference is Mr. Beast never admitted to being a dick and presented himself as "fun and kind", whereas Louis expressly and repeatedly says "I think I'm doing a good thing, verify if you want, fuck you if you disagree, I don't care about your opinion."

    I've had both kinds of people as bosses and employees, and I would absolutely work with the second kind again.

  • Las Vegas staff say MrBeast should be blacklisted, cite OSHA, setting medics for failure
  • Louis is self-admittedly an asshole, but he's a fair asshole and his people stick by and swear by him, even after they leave.

    I respect him and truly feel he's honest, especially when he has so many receipts.

    I'd rather an honest asshole than a kind manipulator.

  • Ohio sheriff suggests residents keep a list of homes with Harris yard signs
    1. Trusting YouTube and TikTok over... Hmmm, I don't know, the US census, US department of Labor, dozens of scholarly studies, hundreds of reputable modern American sociologists, anthropologists, and other educated people who've come to a general consensus, seems like a bad start to form an educated opinion.

    2. The average human is sorrowfully terrible at understanding scale. "It's not just a few people, it's many" is a vague statement. What is many? Compared to what? "Almost 500 THOUSAND cases of cholera were reported last year!! Half a million people!! It's going to kill us all!!" Yeah, but that's 0.0000625% of humans. More than twice that many people die from accidents while playing sports for recreation. It doesn't mean we don't help people with cholera, and it doesn't mean we ban sports globally; to use that as an example of a greater issue is just disingenuous or ignorant.

    "Many" doesn't mean most, it doesn't even mean a considerable percentage. Many could just as easily be an insignificant percentage.
