Ah shit, that's a good point! Thank you!
Ooou! I love that! I think mentioning the price sets the expectation perfectly without feeling out of place.
Thank you!
Shit, I am sorry my dude, this does sound like an unhealthy dynamic. While not as severe, I have been in situations like yours, and while I was able to cognitively handle what was being thrown at me, I didn't realize the emotional, and subconscious trauma.
Slowly overtime your brain is adapting to this environment. All that criticism from her is going to stick with you.
I wish you the best man, I know these situations aren't easy to leave.
Asking Someone to Go Dutch?
Hey! 😋
So I'm super awkward, and anxious! (ADHD Autisic) And I'm really hoping I could get some help finding a casual way to ask someone out to a concert or dinner without creating the assumption that I'm paying for both tickets/meals.
Any ideas other then just bluntly asking to go Dutch?
Dude you are basically frothing at the mouth attempting to call me stupid for not approaching the conversation in a manner you like. That's you. You got darkness inside.
🥱 Not trolling. You want to control the conversation, and I'm not letting you so now you're ranting. Classic Marxist.
Listen, you could have left this conversation at anytime, you choose to sit here and rage.
I'm an individualist, and that pushes me to anarchism because I support individual rights over societal goals. I have zero desire to convert other people to anarchism, and don't see anarchism as the solution or anything.
I think for any mainstream political party to achieve their goals would require a level of social conformity that doesn't exist, so the only solution is force, which I don't believe is moral or even practical.
I was voting liberal prepandemic, but as a proponent of body rights, and free speech I can't in good faith support them anymore. The change in political climate has been staggering to say the least. I got a bit more to say, but work calls!
I appreciate the prompt ✌️😋
Dude if you can do anything other then deflect to propaganda by all means go back and respond to my initial criticism towards your position.
The whole point of having threads is that discussions can branch out. There's no direction or perspective I'm beholden to, and I see absolutely nothing wrong with me calling out your position as I see fit.
Woo!
This makes me happy! I've been working to re-engage my skepticism, and called this one!
Your inability to understand ain't really my problem buddy. We've established you have zero authority here, you and I both agreed on that point.
What you mean to say is you feel I've only made useless noises, which is cool, you're allowed to have all the feelings you want.
Okay sweet, we both agree you're not an authority here.
You are applying labels you obviously understand extremely poorly.
Please, if you're upset I'm not playing from your book, tough, Marxists aren't an authority on political perspectives.
The observation that workers are exploited is one that is completely straightforward, and is broadly understood in any pro-worker space.
Irrelevant to the fact that Marxists look to exploit the individual.
Called it!!
Sorry, but Marxist are deluded, you want to exploit individuals just like everyone else.
Wait until you hear about X-Men.
And people can criticize that choice.
We're in the comments on an article about a woman being thrown in jail for endangering her fetus, and you're arguing that because a fetus could turn into a person that's fine.
I'm an antinatalist, I just find your arguments bad.
Women aren't houses, so criminalizing their behavior because of the impact it might have in a person who does not yet exist is not great.
Women "not being houses" is irrelevant to the point I made. We criminalize actions all the time when harm isn't actual, only potential.
"Learning to wear a mask is the first lesson in patriarchal masculinity that a boy learns" - Men's Liberation
This week’s prompt from the Marxist Men's Lib community is: > “Learning to wear a mask (that word already embedded in the term “masculinity”) is the first lesson in patriarchal masculinity that a boy learns. He learns that his core feelings cannot be expressed if they do not conform to the acceptable behaviors sexism defines as male. Asked to give up the true self in order to realize the patriarchal ideal, boys learn self-betrayal early and are rewarded for these acts of soul murder.”
― bell hooks, The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love
Rebuttal: All people mask. We mask because we know our emotions can't always take priority, and being an adult means making room for, and having consideration for others. There's nothing shameful in this.
"Patriarchy" is not a reason to deminsish, and shame men for being stoic.
Fuck Some Parents
Like holy fuck do you not hear your kid screaming? Do you not have consideration for other fucking people? Or are you just so fucking useless you have zero ability to parent your child? I'm assuming the latter.
Fuck people.
I'm chilling in a hotel hottub, and there's a kid in the pool just screaming, fucking just screaming on and off at the top of their lungs, the sound just echoing off all the tile, it's fucking horrible, holy fuck.
Ughh, just really needed to vent that. Thank you. And fucking thank god they just left.
Fuck I'm greatful I don't have kids.
-edit-
New group of kids started floating around the hot tub bumping into me 😑 Asked them to stop, and then had to speak to their parents about it.
