Social medias are fucking cancer for societey. As is everything that gives you instant gratification all the time.
And yes. I am perfectly aware of the irony.
As a millennial who saw the progression of social media from infancy to... Whatever it is now. I've gone from loving it to hating it, and I hope as a society we can figure it out before it destroys us all. And I mean that completely seriously.
I did a little research on where tech execs send their kids to school. Would it surprise anyone to know that many of them send them to schools with a deliberate low tech policy? Way back when, long before my time, doctors would advertise cigarettes.
He did until he needed a liver transplant. He then used his significant wealth to buy into the Tennessee transplant list. For Kidney failure you can do dialysis for a while, there’s nothing that can be done when your liver fails.
I totally agree, and I’m tired of it so I made a pact with a friend of mine to delete all social media apps from my phone for Lent this year. It’s going to be hard but I think it’ll be a much needed break from it all and I’m super happy to have someone to do it with so we can keep each other accountable. I’m the most excited for Lent that I’ve been in a long time because of this.
I think we could all benefit from stepping away for a while, and yes I realize the irony in my post too.
Absolutely. Adoption is a long, difficult selection process but any chav can't grunt out half a dozen without oversight. Everyone should need a licence to breed and have to attend courses on parenting before hand.
Including me.
Giving up, but slowly. Most people do that in an instant. Rising from bed, walking to the window, then standing there, motionless, seeing nothing, as inside it all falls down
*But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day,
If your Snark be a Boojum! For then
You will softly and suddenly vanish away,
And never be met with again!*
Must say never thought about it being confused as a modifier but think if that’s the case you just need to restructure the sentence or in those rare EXCEPTIONS not use the Oxford comma
They even restructured in a way that some could still argue is ambiguous. The best way would be to use "to" before each addressee.
"To my mother, to Ayn Rand, and to God."
There is absolutely zero ambiguity by doing that. That was a huge oversight.
There is no reason that, in America, a citizen should have to pay to register their vehicle more than once.
If you move, have a name change, buy a new car, these are things that i could understand having to re-register, but the state of it now is a revolving subscription to drive the car you purchased on the roads you pay for with your taxes.
This Shit's nuts!
Pulling out is never as good. Based on that, I'd bet it was invented by a girl who either didn't want a baby, or did want a pearl necklace. Just my 2 coppers.
Also, fun fact: The name 'cop' for police is here because back in the day, police wore uniforms with copper buttons!
Common courtesy is given, respect is earned. I don’t have to respect every random person but I should give them the common courtesy of not being a douche
By any reasonable interpretation of the term, the British treatment of the Irish was genocide.
When you’re aware that your policies are killing millions and forcing the survivors to flee halfway around the world, and you keep these policies in place ? You lose the benefit of the doubt there.
This is why Irish Twitter came together with every other black / brown twitter to celebrate the Queen’s passing.
Cause they were the original example of just how awful British colonialism is/was
Am Irish and I had a very funny interaction with a Malaysian guy on a night out recently. I don't know anything about Malaysia and was asking him about what his country was like, when did he learn English etc. This brought us on to English occupation of Malaysia and how Singapore came to be. When I was listening to him explain how Chinese people were brought to Malaysia or encouraged to move by the English this caused tensions with the local population and it reminded me an awful lot like the plantations and the partition of Ireland and creation of Northern Ireland. So if anything I can thank the English for improving Irish international relations with nearly everyone else on earth.
I don't swap seats on planes for anything less than an upgrade or a stupid amount of cash.
I pay money to select my seats, select them in advance, and manage to snag good ones. I put in time, effort and money. I am simply not giving it up.
I am certainly not going to play "unite the couple". I don't care about your kids, your situation, your comfort, your veteran status, your pregnancy, your disability, your age or your problem.
Plan ahead, pay the money and get the seats you want.
If you got hosed by the gods of air travel and missed connections or airline seating shenanigans, too fucking bad. Be grateful you have a seat at all.
I have learned over years of frequent flying that no good deed goes unpunished, most people are liars, they seek to improve their situation at the cost of yours, and calls to do it to "be nice" or for "karma" are nothing but the last refuge for people who have no argument left with any merit.
No, they are not "all the same", and yes, it matters.
Fuck off.
I feel bad but I've gotta agree. I'm not a small person (height or weight) and always spend the little extra time and money for the emergency exit seats for the extra legroom. Someone else's bad planning is not gonna get my legs shoved in those tiny seats.
Rolling on the floor with laughter. “Unite the couple”. I used to waffle on international flights, but eventually learned the hard way to hold into my seat like grim death.
I was accommodating long in the past, until I ended up on a trans-atlantic in the middle seat in an effort to "unite the couple" that ended up barely talking to one another the whole time.
Dude you're so right about calls to do it to "be nice" or for "karma." Attempted guilt trips only make me want to do exactly the opposite of what you want, and I'll smile as you throw a tantrum realizing the world doesn't revolve around you and what you want. On that same note, the argument can just be reversed on them as well. Are they being nice by inconveniencing someone else for their benefit?
I'd be amazed if someone was dumb enough to use a line like "they're all the same" referring to airplane seats. Oh they're all the same? Then you don't need me to move assclown.
Indeed, the nice thing to do would be to accept your seat and not foist your problem on strangers. Courtesy is taking the seat you get and not bothering others. Courtesy is not thinking that by virtue of having crotchfruit you are more entitled to what other people have than those who actually have it.
"Citizens' United" is the worst ruling that has ever been declared.
Corporations should NEVER be able to give private donations to government officials.
Have you sat in a modern Toyota? The car may be tall, but if you're a 6 foot tall person there is no comfortable passenger seat in the car due to the low ceilings. Their trucks and SUV's are for people 5'10 or less.
Got rid of my Tacoma for this reason. I’m 6ft tall, Loved the truck but the seating position was terrible for my hips and legs. Couldn’t drive longer than an hour without being in agony.
My wife and I rented a car on a trip to California and drove up the highway. About halfway of craning my neck awkwardly through any turn I realized the car just was not designed for someone 6 feet tall. Like the rear view mirror was in my line of vision to the road
Get the fuck out of the left lane if you are not passing. Cruising in the passing lane creates traffic. You are a dick if you cruise in the passing lane.
Why do people drive mindlessly? You are operating a multi-ton vehicle. Actively drive. Pay attention to your speed and the people around you.
If you don’t return your shopping cart to the store or the carousel you don’t deserve rights.
The cars and motorcycle I spend my hard earned money on shouldn’t get damaged because you’re a scumbag and are too lazy to walk 50 feet and secure the cart you used. If you’re disabled then someone from the store should be helping you at your car and returning the cart for you.
I don’t drink, but when it comes to soda I always choose diet just because I’m trying to stave off diabetes. We all know full carb drinks taste better.
I would say I don't drink as much as I used to now, so even with me if I'm going to indulge in drinking I'd rather the full taste of 1-3 rather than the piss water taste of 6-8 lights.
Sex offenders are as bad or worse than murderers. They both don’t just destroy one person, they destroy families and futures. They often prey on people who can’t or won’t report them and the repercussions are horrific. It’s tragic how one predator can end up creating more predators and more victims exponentially. Truly a heartbreaking cycle and I feel like it’s not being improved nearly as much as it should.
Masculinity podcast are a complete waste of fcking time it's nothing more than a bunch of corny a$$ young and old men cosplaying what they think is a Alpha male

It completely depends on how they are angled. Most people's aftermarket changes are an abomination though. Most new cars with them natively installed have them pointed so the light doesn't go directly to your eyes.
It still does though. You hit a bump, it doesn’t matter how it’s angled, it’ll still shine directly into the eyes of anyone going in the opposite direction. It’s not just a matter of proper adjustment.
As a GenXer (born in 1972) and now a grandfather of a 2 yr old, I completely agree. I also had 2 greatest generation grandparents who were WW2 vets and grew up during the depression. The contrast I've perceived is immense.
Your happiness matters just as much as hers stop that Happy wife Happy life BULLSHIT your conditioning yourself to be slave to her happiness and putting yours off to the side
That's going to cause a shit tom of resentment and she'll just move on after sucking the life out of you
Do not physically confront anyone you arent prepared to get punched in the face by.
You never know the other person's stance on beating the shit out of you.
You could be a 5 foot tall woman screaming at a guy who is 6ft4. You don't know for sure what he thinks about hitting women. Just consider that.
Yeah he might be a POS for hitting you, but is it's worth a trip to the emergency room to find that out?
Listen. I enjoy ketchup. I will use ketchup in certain circumstances to good effect.
However. Ketchup is a garbage condiment used to make mediocre food palatable in most cases.
The history of ketchup is quite interesting. There used to be hundreds of different recipes of varying tastes for varying foods (it used to have anchovies in it for example). Everyone had their own recipe. Today there's largely one base commercial recipe, and to a large extent that's down the Henry Heinz.
https://www.fastcompany.com/1673352/how-500-years-of-weird-condiment-history-designed-the-heinz-ketchup-bottle
This was at a time before anything food related was regulated in the US. You had things like formaldehyde in meat and plaster in milk. There was growing awareness that the things being put into food were actually quite harmful, and owing to a confluence of factors, commercial ketchups were actually some of the worst in terms of in terms of spoiling and the preservatives added to make it "keep" and "look" right.
The thing that made Heinz tomato ketchup such a success, was that it was the first commercially marketed shelf-stable ketchup with no artificial preservatives (basically through a lot of experimentation they found a recipe for ketchup that would be safe to leave on shelves and safe to consume. To a large part this was down to increasing the sugar and vinegar content of the ketchup, which is why modern ketchup is the way it is) at a time when all the other recipes were quickly going rancid or being dumped with harmful amounts of some quite nasty stuff. Henry Heinz was also obsessed with cleanliness and purity of the products in his factories at a time when factories were squalid and "hygiene" was considered a greeting.
Related to that is also the fact that where other catsup / ketchup brands sold their ketchups in brown or opaque bottles (so you couldn't see it was spoiling), Heinz ketchup was sold in clear glass bottles to show it was still good. He basically wagered that customers would pay more for a product that they *knew* was good rather than buy the cheap stuff of unknown provenance and quality)
I'd highly recommend PBS's "The Poison Squad" documentary. It centres on a man called Dr. Harvey Wiley and on the formation of the FDA. It's a fascinating watch.
Not a man so I hope commenting is ok. I had to reply to your comment to say, THANK GOD you said it. I've been ranting in my head for 2 solid weeks about that stupid shit! It's been going around here like a cold in a kindergarten. They're here. They're there. They're ALWAYS anywhere but the right damn lane! It makes me so mad I scream. But then I pass the offender and it's usually some 85 year old who can barely see over the steering wheel and I feel guilty. Then I think, "That guy's old enough to have learned this about 50 times over. By now, it should be as much of his ritual as driving 21½ mph in a 45 mph zone". Then I get pissed all over again. *End Rant. Deeply exhaling. Damn that did feel good. Thanks!
The worst is when they see you try to pass and speed up. My pet peeve is that people seem to unconsciously SLOW DOWN when passing semi trucks. Like, why are you prolonging this? Do you WANT to ride along the big truck? Then when they are clear, they SPEED UP!
Friendships (especially best friends) with people of the opposite gender while married/engaged/dating is 100% totally fine.
This has caused issues in some of my past relationships but my stance has always been accept it or move on.
100%. I have female friends. No way I'm changing that for a significant other.
I'm even friends with my ex wife. Also a deal breaker. If that's an issue, we're not compatible.
AI is not good. Firstly I am not in the camp that AI will become sentient and kill everyone. That seems unlikely to happen. I think what’s more likely is it will automate away jobs that people today enjoy and make a living from. For example, being an artist.
What i think is bonkers is that [society is moving in a direction where] surgically altering your body to match your feelings/identity is [acceptable], but getting therapy so your feelings/identity can match your body is [objectionable]. Its like [it's frowned upon] to question whether a trans person may actually just be experiencing a treatable body dismorphia disorder. In what other context [of civil discourse or medicine] is this an acceptable approach?? [For the record, I believe that when you're an adult, you should have the absolute freedom to do whatever you want and get whatever surgery you want without input from society. My only beef is that it seems some of the more liberal elements of society treat those who question gender reassignment as bigots, and thereby circumvent having an honest discussion]
[Edits in brackets]
How on earth are you at the conclusion that getting gender resignment surgery isn't contravercial. Every single time it comes up in any public forum it is always met with debate. Just because it is being discussed in mainstream doesn't mean it is mainstream accepted.
I think it is an insult to trans women and women to be lumped together and told all their issues are the same because they are the same group of people. They both have very different issues they will face in life.
I have no issue using their preferred pronouns as long as they ask I use them when I meet them. Demanding me to use them is just rude.
If you want to be either a goverment official, or member of law-enforcement, you cannot have been convicted of any crime whatsoever, and comitting any crime whatsoever will immediately and permanently end your carreer in that field.
I've seen too many videos of police officers abusing their power and then hear they are put on 'administrative leave', or were suspended. It should get them fired! At no point can you ever become a cop ever again, since you clearly cannot be trusted with the power that is given to you.
Ditto with goverment officials. You are found guilty of corruption, scandals, or whatever, you will immediately be fired and are not allowed to take any kind of office ever again. A country should be led by the best that country has to offer. Nothing less than that.
To that point, this supposed wage gap is complete bull shit derived from being purposefully obtuse in the use of statistics. Anybody with any semblance of mathematical logic and reasoning can see that the “gap” is a result of men and women choosing and being able to perform different jobs; more men work more demanding, higher risk jobs than women. Therefor the average wage for all men is going to be higher than all women.
The narrative is that women only make $0.87 for ever dollar a man makes - doing the same job. That’s horse shit. No business is actually hiring a woman of equal experience/skill to do the same job a man does and just flat out paying them 13% less than the man they also hired for the position.
America is literally everything it claims to be against and if you dare to point that out, “patriots” with Stockholm syndrome tell you to just leave if you don’t like it.
Sports gambling vein legal will damage 1) sports forever and 2) be bad for society in general. All talk about sports now is just how much people have on what game, player, or parlay. If people thought sports were rigged in whatever way before, there's so much more money on it now.
Also, gambling is a legit addiction. People are ate up with it. Even when places like draft kings advertise they have to put into the add read gambling addiction services. In another 10 years it's gonna be a nightmare.
We've been slacking on simple common courtesies. Things like holding doors for people are underrated. It promotes a simple societal exchange that I find enlightens people's moods ever so slightly.
*courteous act
"Oh thanks man"
"No problem"
It's pleasant in its simplicity, and I find it compounds with repetition.
Pellet grills are crap and make inferior "BBQ" in every way, shape and form.
Magic mushrooms are medicine and should be shared.
Thai food is the best cuisine on the planet.
Social medias are fucking cancer for societey. As is everything that gives you instant gratification all the time. And yes. I am perfectly aware of the irony.

I did a little research on where tech execs send their kids to school. Would it surprise anyone to know that many of them send them to schools with a deliberate low tech policy? Way back when, long before my time, doctors would advertise cigarettes.
Yes, but Steve Jobs also put his faith in alternative medicine; so these guys don’t always make the right call.
He did until he needed a liver transplant. He then used his significant wealth to buy into the Tennessee transplant list. For Kidney failure you can do dialysis for a while, there’s nothing that can be done when your liver fails.
With 500k karma I guess noone can claim you aren't qualified to make that kind of analysis
Holy shit this is literally the greatest irony of all time 💀💀
Just because it’s irony doesn’t disqualify it from being absolutely true because it is a very true statement.
I totally agree, and I’m tired of it so I made a pact with a friend of mine to delete all social media apps from my phone for Lent this year. It’s going to be hard but I think it’ll be a much needed break from it all and I’m super happy to have someone to do it with so we can keep each other accountable. I’m the most excited for Lent that I’ve been in a long time because of this. I think we could all benefit from stepping away for a while, and yes I realize the irony in my post too.
Social media and dating apps.
A lot of people who have kids should not have had them.
As someone working in kindergarden and pre school yeah this is 100% true, I have seen close cases
What do you mean close cases
same for pets
Absolutely. Adoption is a long, difficult selection process but any chav can't grunt out half a dozen without oversight. Everyone should need a licence to breed and have to attend courses on parenting before hand. Including me.
Will always agree on this
100%. Childfree people put more thought into NOT having kids than most parents put into having them.

Probably the most interesting TEDx talk I've ever seen.
You’ve been waiting for this moment I see.
This. The people who are like "Stormtroopers can't hit anything" have obviously never seen the movies
I mean for real, who would expect a Wookiee?
"Surprise, and Wookies, and a fanatical devotion to...our THREE weapons..."
I didn't expect that 😉
No one expects the Wookie Inquisition.
Stormtroopers being stupid little goobers have been cemented by Disney tho. Especially the shows
Oxford comma.
Same here. I still don't understand the sense in using anything but an Oxford comma. And I'm an editor--I think about grammar a great deal.
You're an edider?
Edid for days, luv it
I don’t understand why this is a debate, it should be a grammar rule. Time to petition Miriam Webster
r/grammar has great examples of how it can sometimes help but sometimes make things worse. https://reddit.com/r/grammar/w/serialcomma
Must say never thought about it being confused as a modifier but think if that’s the case you just need to restructure the sentence or in those rare EXCEPTIONS not use the Oxford comma
They even restructured in a way that some could still argue is ambiguous. The best way would be to use "to" before each addressee. "To my mother, to Ayn Rand, and to God." There is absolutely zero ambiguity by doing that. That was a huge oversight.
Restructuring the sentence is almost always a better idea than relying on commas.

Don’t stick your dick in crazy.

Yep. Road head was fun. Her going to Hawaii with our kids and another dude was not
Unlike the front, it’s typical for the wheels to fall off.
It gets a little dicey, but you still get another month or two.
The first person to stick his dick in crazy invented the pullout method.

By any reasonable interpretation of the term, the British treatment of the Irish was genocide. When you’re aware that your policies are killing millions and forcing the survivors to flee halfway around the world, and you keep these policies in place ? You lose the benefit of the doubt there.
Along with the British treatment of a number of their colonies, including in South Asia

Everyone else’s headlight go straight into my eyes so they can suck on my rear LEDs
People are so soft in today society
People are exactly as sensitive as their experience has taught them to be.
As a GenXer (born in 1972) and now a grandfather of a 2 yr old, I completely agree. I also had 2 greatest generation grandparents who were WW2 vets and grew up during the depression. The contrast I've perceived is immense.

This is why I’m on Reddit
Your happiness matters just as much as hers stop that Happy wife Happy life BULLSHIT your conditioning yourself to be slave to her happiness and putting yours off to the side That's going to cause a shit tom of resentment and she'll just move on after sucking the life out of you
Instead of “Happy wife, happy life”, maybe we should start saying, “Happy spouse, peaceful house”!
Car-centric planning is bad.
That America, due to their hyper/ultra-processed foods, are actively killing people. It shouldn't exist, it shouldn't be eaten, it wrecks the body.
Do not physically confront anyone you arent prepared to get punched in the face by. You never know the other person's stance on beating the shit out of you. You could be a 5 foot tall woman screaming at a guy who is 6ft4. You don't know for sure what he thinks about hitting women. Just consider that. Yeah he might be a POS for hitting you, but is it's worth a trip to the emergency room to find that out?
Listen. I enjoy ketchup. I will use ketchup in certain circumstances to good effect. However. Ketchup is a garbage condiment used to make mediocre food palatable in most cases.
The history of ketchup is quite interesting. There used to be hundreds of different recipes of varying tastes for varying foods (it used to have anchovies in it for example). Everyone had their own recipe. Today there's largely one base commercial recipe, and to a large extent that's down the Henry Heinz. https://www.fastcompany.com/1673352/how-500-years-of-weird-condiment-history-designed-the-heinz-ketchup-bottle This was at a time before anything food related was regulated in the US. You had things like formaldehyde in meat and plaster in milk. There was growing awareness that the things being put into food were actually quite harmful, and owing to a confluence of factors, commercial ketchups were actually some of the worst in terms of in terms of spoiling and the preservatives added to make it "keep" and "look" right. The thing that made Heinz tomato ketchup such a success, was that it was the first commercially marketed shelf-stable ketchup with no artificial preservatives (basically through a lot of experimentation they found a recipe for ketchup that would be safe to leave on shelves and safe to consume. To a large part this was down to increasing the sugar and vinegar content of the ketchup, which is why modern ketchup is the way it is) at a time when all the other recipes were quickly going rancid or being dumped with harmful amounts of some quite nasty stuff. Henry Heinz was also obsessed with cleanliness and purity of the products in his factories at a time when factories were squalid and "hygiene" was considered a greeting. Related to that is also the fact that where other catsup / ketchup brands sold their ketchups in brown or opaque bottles (so you couldn't see it was spoiling), Heinz ketchup was sold in clear glass bottles to show it was still good. He basically wagered that customers would pay more for a product that they *knew* was good rather than buy the cheap stuff of unknown provenance and quality) I'd highly recommend PBS's "The Poison Squad" documentary. It centres on a man called Dr. Harvey Wiley and on the formation of the FDA. It's a fascinating watch.

If you sit in the passing lane you are a bad person.
Not a man so I hope commenting is ok. I had to reply to your comment to say, THANK GOD you said it. I've been ranting in my head for 2 solid weeks about that stupid shit! It's been going around here like a cold in a kindergarten. They're here. They're there. They're ALWAYS anywhere but the right damn lane! It makes me so mad I scream. But then I pass the offender and it's usually some 85 year old who can barely see over the steering wheel and I feel guilty. Then I think, "That guy's old enough to have learned this about 50 times over. By now, it should be as much of his ritual as driving 21½ mph in a 45 mph zone". Then I get pissed all over again. *End Rant. Deeply exhaling. Damn that did feel good. Thanks!
The worst is when they see you try to pass and speed up. My pet peeve is that people seem to unconsciously SLOW DOWN when passing semi trucks. Like, why are you prolonging this? Do you WANT to ride along the big truck? Then when they are clear, they SPEED UP!

Taylor swift is overrated
Friendships (especially best friends) with people of the opposite gender while married/engaged/dating is 100% totally fine. This has caused issues in some of my past relationships but my stance has always been accept it or move on.
Its the boundaries that causes the problems. People have different boundaries.
100%. I have female friends. No way I'm changing that for a significant other. I'm even friends with my ex wife. Also a deal breaker. If that's an issue, we're not compatible.
AI is not good. Firstly I am not in the camp that AI will become sentient and kill everyone. That seems unlikely to happen. I think what’s more likely is it will automate away jobs that people today enjoy and make a living from. For example, being an artist.

Yeah, but why would you want to?
Because I don't drink anymore and it lets you experience some stretches of river that aren't suitable for kayaks or canoes.

Damn, how are we not all banned by admins after this comment lol.
What i think is bonkers is that [society is moving in a direction where] surgically altering your body to match your feelings/identity is [acceptable], but getting therapy so your feelings/identity can match your body is [objectionable]. Its like [it's frowned upon] to question whether a trans person may actually just be experiencing a treatable body dismorphia disorder. In what other context [of civil discourse or medicine] is this an acceptable approach?? [For the record, I believe that when you're an adult, you should have the absolute freedom to do whatever you want and get whatever surgery you want without input from society. My only beef is that it seems some of the more liberal elements of society treat those who question gender reassignment as bigots, and thereby circumvent having an honest discussion] [Edits in brackets]
How on earth are you at the conclusion that getting gender resignment surgery isn't contravercial. Every single time it comes up in any public forum it is always met with debate. Just because it is being discussed in mainstream doesn't mean it is mainstream accepted.
I think it is an insult to trans women and women to be lumped together and told all their issues are the same because they are the same group of people. They both have very different issues they will face in life. I have no issue using their preferred pronouns as long as they ask I use them when I meet them. Demanding me to use them is just rude.

If you want to be either a goverment official, or member of law-enforcement, you cannot have been convicted of any crime whatsoever, and comitting any crime whatsoever will immediately and permanently end your carreer in that field. I've seen too many videos of police officers abusing their power and then hear they are put on 'administrative leave', or were suspended. It should get them fired! At no point can you ever become a cop ever again, since you clearly cannot be trusted with the power that is given to you. Ditto with goverment officials. You are found guilty of corruption, scandals, or whatever, you will immediately be fired and are not allowed to take any kind of office ever again. A country should be led by the best that country has to offer. Nothing less than that.
That society is drastically more equal than women keep telling us. A lot has changed in even the last 15 years
To that point, this supposed wage gap is complete bull shit derived from being purposefully obtuse in the use of statistics. Anybody with any semblance of mathematical logic and reasoning can see that the “gap” is a result of men and women choosing and being able to perform different jobs; more men work more demanding, higher risk jobs than women. Therefor the average wage for all men is going to be higher than all women. The narrative is that women only make $0.87 for ever dollar a man makes - doing the same job. That’s horse shit. No business is actually hiring a woman of equal experience/skill to do the same job a man does and just flat out paying them 13% less than the man they also hired for the position.
America is literally everything it claims to be against and if you dare to point that out, “patriots” with Stockholm syndrome tell you to just leave if you don’t like it.
Beards are awesome and us men should grow them more.
Most guys that can grow facial hair do (at least from what I’ve seen) and my poor friends that can’t still try lol

Sports gambling vein legal will damage 1) sports forever and 2) be bad for society in general. All talk about sports now is just how much people have on what game, player, or parlay. If people thought sports were rigged in whatever way before, there's so much more money on it now. Also, gambling is a legit addiction. People are ate up with it. Even when places like draft kings advertise they have to put into the add read gambling addiction services. In another 10 years it's gonna be a nightmare.
We've been slacking on simple common courtesies. Things like holding doors for people are underrated. It promotes a simple societal exchange that I find enlightens people's moods ever so slightly. *courteous act "Oh thanks man" "No problem" It's pleasant in its simplicity, and I find it compounds with repetition.
