After seeing many subreddits go private in an attempt to force Reddit's hand so they ban subs such as NoNewNormal and other such communities, it's made me start to think about how we treat people and communities with these controversial view points, Reddit has always been bad for echo-chambers,…
I'll start by saying that Steve Irwin seems like he was a genuinely nice guy with a big heart. He clearly loved animals and dedicated his life to protecting them. This has understandably made him a hero in the eyes of most Redditors. I'm not trying to attack him as a person. He didn't deserve to…
90% of the AITA posts I see are people posting morally questionable decisions/actions, then getting fawned over for those actions. I see few posts that actually call out the poster for their actions, and even fewer that try to see both sides of a conflict. Even more, the consequences of some of…
CMV: If it makes your life better and doesn't cause you to harm others, being religious is rational.
I think there are far too many words written about whether God exists and not enough written about whether it is rational to believe in God. I'm going to write this under the assumption that God doesn't exist because I think that will resonate with the average Reddit user better though I don't…
As I see it, religious exemptions boil down to, "If you have a firmly held belief that you should not have to follow this rule, then you don't have to follow the rule." But only if you belong to a pre-approved group of people who also feel strongly that they shouldn't have to follow that rule. I…
CMV: if you're anti-vax because you believe in "my body my choice" then you must also be pro-choice.
It all stems from this response I keep hearing from the anti-vax camp "my body my choice", which sounds an awful lot like something we've been hearing from the pro-choice movement for a long time. I think that if you believe in that statement as an argument for being anti-vaccination that you have…
I am combining Education and Labor as the same because they go hand in hand, the purpose of education is not only to teach the under generations so people become knowledgeable but also so that people can get careers and live productive lives. So I am going to split this into 3 parts. Part 1. K…
We live in a society where if you do not tip your server or delivery driver, you’re immediately branded as entitled, selfish, or rude. There are servers who threaten to spit in or tamper with food, intentionally provide terrible service, or refuse to deliver an order due to non-tipping…yet we as a…
I’m sick that all our choices the last few elections have all been super old, and not representative of our county. I think we need some young blood, most people retire at 65-70. Why should they be running the country, when we’ve 100% had presidents before that had started their cognitive decline…
Edit: Since I probably wasn't clear what I mean, I don't target the words specifically, but the meaning they convey. I'll try to explain by using a concrete example. A commonly used way of saying stuff is "Get GAME on PLATFORM". "Get Transport Fever 2 on GOG Galaxy" means I can get the game and…
Politicians are elected to lead us especially during major events like the current pandemic. Ignoring scientific data from experts and telling citizens not to trust vaccines is literally killing people. These people have influence socially and in the legislation they support. I’m not talking about…
With all the important news coming out of Afghanistan, lots of people are desperate for information on the status of the evacuation, etc, going on in Kabul. The BBC, ABC, Al-Jazeera, and others, all have female lead reporters on the ground who are trying to interview Taliban leaders for critical…
Last year when there was a run on toilet paper I ordered bidets instead of fighting over paper. As a result, I use less toilet paper, my butthole is much cleaner and I have to touch my butthole far less than when I was using toilet paper. Bidets are superior, affordable and the far better option…
Personally I do not believe in any religion I was raised by very heavy christians however. Some of the arguments I heard was " you can't prove god isn't real." Well I can't prove the tooth fairy isn't real either doesn't mean I can't think you're delusional if you believe it is. It's like religious…
After seeing so many different Reddit Post about stories with the below as the story and the comments in response, I am not sure if I am the one who is being the butt about this kind of issue. Man raises child Discovers woman cheated, lied about paternity Man asks what to do Reddit Hivemind says…
I just got banned from a subreddit I hadn't participated in for several years (/r/pokemongo) because I made a single comment in another subreddit I don't actively participate in (/r/conspiracy). I happened by /r/conspiracy and mocked a covid conspiracy theory. Instantly banned for "participating in…
The main reason that we have the society we have today can mainly be attributed to the fact that humans can compartmentalize work. At some point (Ancient Greece? Idk), we realized that not every single person needs to know every single thing. We can specialize and have jobs in a particular space of…
Hospitals are so full that people are coming in and being denied care for other medical stuff. A veteran died because of an appendicitis because the beds were so full of unvaccinated Covid patients. Enough is enough! I lost sympathy for people who are risking a mutant covid that makes vaccinated…
A person puts up a table and a sign that says “Pro Life, change my view”. As more people join the conversation, members of the crowd yell “sexist pig”, “my body my rights”, and generally get more aggressive with their heckling. The point of the debate was to truly change a persons mind, but it has…
Title. I'll use myself as an example to start. I'm Lumbee Indian (card-carrying), and thus college is free for me from many instutions. The issue arises from the fact that I don't live in Robeson County, North Carolina, where much of my family does, and where the Lumbee tend to be poorer than white…
A woman can decide not to be a mother and have all the responsibilities that come with it after conception. They can choose (where i live) to have an abortion or put their kid up for adoption. They can decide whether or not they want to be a parent after conception. A man has no choice, after…
It’s towards the end of summer and thankfully the end of mosquito season. Every year goes by and I have to slather myself in deet, to avoid tons of bites, and god knows what disease. Mosquitoes exist on planet earth, simply to be parasites and spread…
I think getting rejected sucks just as much as the next person, but it’s the risk you take when you decide to make an advance on your friend, especially your best friend. You know what lies in wait for you when you do it. You should know whether or not you can handle being friends with someone who…
Versatility Pies, jams, smoothies, muffins and more, I can't think of a single berry with more uses than the humble blueberry. Strawberries do have the advantage of making a sick ice cream but when's the last time you saw a strawberry muffin? I thought not. I suppose cranberry juice is pretty nice…
Been seeing a lot of videos lately of younger drivers driving like lunatics thru traffic, a lot of them ending in fiery, sometimes deadly crashes. As someone who was hit by a truck at 15 due to my own stupidity, it made me much more aware of the fact that it only takes one accident to thoroughly…
So for example, if you are an employee of a car dealership, you may have a goal to sell, say, 30 cars a month and if you sell more, you get a bonus of, say $500 per car above 30. I believe this kind of things encourages employees and customers to act in ways that are damaging to the business and…
No one gets upset when we call December the 12th month even tho December literally means "tenth month". So why do others get so pissed off over "decimate" being used to describe something that has been vanquished to a great degree? Language changes over time. The word "deer" for instance once…
Whenever discussions about twitter comes up, people seem to absolutely hate that site. And yet, there are several tweets on the front page right now, not to mention the subreddits specifically about posting twitter screenshots. I don't use twitter frequently, so I'm confused about what people on…
I watch a lot of cooking videos on YouTube, and it seems that the chefs always crack their eggs on the countertop, and some will come right out and say that it's the right way. Maybe they're doing it differently from how I do it, but every time I try I get a worse result. Counter crack: I get a…
Reddit as a whole tends to allow controversial or even downright incorrect information on this site. This is demonstrated time and time again within subreddits such as sino, which argues/believes tianmen massacre never happened. This is arguably dangerous as well as it gives them more ammo again the…
A lot of parents [especially in Asian culture (I am Asian)] where parents expect their children to take care of them when they are old, and throw around excuses such as “We sheltered you, fed you, clothed you, so you need to do the same when we are older.” Yea I absolutely do not believe in that.…
if a person is suffering from a serious mental or physical illness and cant live a happy life they should have the choice of peaceful assisted suicide their own terms. its selfish to keep these people alive and the only people who are against it are people who have never met these people before or…
As far as I know, it's not controversial to say that parasocial relationships are destructive. [https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/parasocial-relationships/] These relationships often take the form of celebrity worship or extreme fandom, wherein a person will become obsessed with a public figure…
Resort fees are an additional fee you are required to pay for a room at a hotel which in theory entitles you to certain amenities the hotel offers. I think this sort of fee should be banned as a bait and switch tactic, and any mandatory fee whatsoever should be built into all advertised prices. I am…
Saudi Arabia is the biggest funder and supporter of terrorism in the Middle east and likely around the world. They created ISIS and fund the terrorist group. Saudi Money funds the Islamic state, Saudi citizens fight for them in mass, and the Wahhabism government turns a blind eye because their…
The US is looked as an example of a success of democracy, but US was actually very undemocratic for most of its history. In fact, women could only start voting in the 1920s. There were more limits on who could vote depending on local policy. As we all know also, early America only (white) male…
I'm a 20 years old male and I think social media are more bad than good for my generation, hear me out. They don't teach inclusivity cause several races are left out from the equation and also thinner/normal body types. They help glorify sex work in an ill way and encourage it, which is degrading…
I’m a 5’9 male, so I don’t fit the bill for that standard, but don’t have an issue with it. Physical attraction is a huge part of a relationship and is very important (looks do matter). Anytime a woman says she prefers or will only date 6’0+ men, short men will get pissed and act like she’s the…
This is not about studio albums being better than gigs or vice versa. Both are amazing and bring different aspects to music. Studio albums provide highly polished and produced versions of songs, which is great. If a band whats to use effects or have members playing multiple instruments it allows…
Let's get this out of the way, the purpose of a prison is to punish someone for their actions and teach them not to repeat it. The US prison system does not accomplish any of this, it doesn't even come close. Look at the European (specifically Norway/Scandinavia) prisons, they treat prisoners like…
My nephew recently started pre-k and I just had a passing thought, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a male pre-k teacher. How can a man have a role in a field requiring care for children if he is not trusted with children’s basic care? Fathers often change diapers, help children use the toilet, and put…
There are a lot of people in an uproar because Blackwater is evacuating Afghan refugees who are willing and able to pay $6,500. I understand that this seems like evil profiteering by Blackwater, and maybe it is, but the truth is the world is a better place for them doing this. They are not going to…
In this country, the United States, there is supposedly an intentional wall between church and state. The state is capable of wielding enormous power and influence in public and private lives of citizens. The separation between church and state is to protect each body from the other. The state…
There's no such thing as ranked genocides. The extermination of natives, religions, countrymen, etc., are all just as horrible as the other. The Holocaust was not "better" or "worse" than the genocides of the Americas. Cambodians, Rwandans, Greeks, and so many more have genocides. I wouldn't be…
Ok, this is a big one for me emotionally, but I want to try to be as objective and reasonable as possible. Also I'd like to point out that I'd like nothing more than to be convinced here that my view is wrong, because I want to be more hopeful. The View: 1. It is the opinion of most experts on…
Defining antivaxx as people who are against all vaccines. The true original definition before COVID ever happened. I truly believe that we're past the point of censoring the outspoken to unknown platforms, because they are now everywhere. It's not just reddit, or Facebook, or Twitter. It's…
I’m not saying it’s horrible. It’s just irresponsible. If finances are tight, then having kids will make finances tighter. If you are living in a rural area, I’d say it’s better to have kids when the entire household income exceeds 80k/yr (both people making 40k/yr) if you are living in an expensive…
My view: The most popular social media platforms in the West, namely Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, all lack the equivalent of a "downvote" reaction. As Reddit has shown us over the past decade+, content which receives far more upvotes than downvotes moves up in the algorithm's ranking and is…
Okay so bear with me. Let me get this out of the way: I consider myself a feminist (I'm using this term to mean a supporter of the idea that women should 'have the same rights and opportunities as men' as per the Oxford dictionary). HOWEVER, I much prefer to use the term Gender-Egalitarianism…
Most of the discussions around inequality tends to focus on income. In my opinion this has limited meaning in a world where cost of basic stuff like Shelter, Healthcare and Education are inflating at extremely high rates. The better way to genuinely tackle the issue is to utilize technological know…
Context: I’ve been considering trying veganism out for moral reasons, but I feel that it would be too hard to give up omelettes in the morning. My parents have chickens which are kept free-range, and they lay enough eggs to support our family (and then some). These chickens are not kept specifically…
This is the perfect opportunity to purge these very important professions of the crazed, deluded, dangerous, and unintelligent. Medical personnel should be required to follow medical science point blank, doctors and nurses should not be allowed to keep their jobs if they are anti vaccine because it…
First of all, I'm not saying that most people want a dictatorship or will try to bring about one. Sure there are more people like this now and we've seen it. However, most people on some level want peace on some level and don't want to make waves. That being said, if a dictatorship were to be in…
Many like to claim that immigration is beneficial for the Economy and the People. It is claimed that everyone profits. Yet if one looks at the European Migrant Crisis of 2015/16 where in 2021 around half of all migrants still dont have a job - and most of the other half only low skill/low wage jobs …
The title pretty much sums up the view. I'm intentionally being pretty inclusive with what I'm talking about: it could be "I won't date Republicans/Democrats," or it could be "I won't date anyone who doesn't love Star Wars." I don't see any problem with wanting someone to be compatible with you…
So I completely understand that major corporations are the cause of a majority of carbon issues and should be taking a lot of the blame for climate change. And I definitely think for us to actively combat climate change we need legislation that would restrict the use of fossil fuels and wastefulness…
It has been normalized for decades that it is acceptable for women to slap men when they are angry or feel emotionally attacked. Physical violence should never be an appropriate response for non-physical violence. I somewhat equate this to the fact that it is never acceptable for a man to punch…
Let's use the examples of gun policy, climate change, and COVID-19 policy. Republican attitudes towards these issues value individual gain and/or freedom at the expense of collective safety. In the case of guns, there is a preponderance of evidence showing that the more guns there are in…
Entertainment culture abounds in noble protagonists who fight the forces of evil, who seek to improve their flaws and who are ultimately seen as heroes who save the world. There are relatively few books or movies that feature a villain in the foreground, and that's a bad thing. First, the audience…
Public schools have multiple functions: keeping kids off the street, socialization for kids, imparting lessons of society on them, and obviously education. According to Lawyers.com [https://www.lawyers.com/legal-info/research/education-law/what-kinds-of-behavior-can-lead-to-suspension-from…
I'm not talking about the religious relationships where people have multiple spouses or whatever. I mean the people who are in relationships but then go out fucking other random people all the time. How is that a relationship? You aren't exactly being loyal to your partner now are you. It also seems…
He was a overt racist, introduced segregation in the Federal Government, and Jim Crow in to Washington, D.C. He did nothing to limit lynching's in the South and appeared to out and out support the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). He and his administration set back racial relations by at least 50 years in…
First I want to say that empathy for people feel that way and can fully understand that someone is frustrated about it. But I cant understand the claim that "its over" in terms of a relationship just because of your looks. I dont see effidence for that in real life, I see unattractive people in a…
Following a great discussion with u/joopface [/u/joopface], I'll downgrade 'inevitable' to 'likely to inevitable, depending on specific sector and length of time'! (Can you tell I still hate markets?) Thanks for the discussion all, I'm going for the bike ride I wanted to take an hour ago :') So,…
Circumcision is unequivocally an outdated, unnecessary, and barbaric practice. The only reason it is done is because the Jews invented it for religious reasons and pushed it on the rest of the goyim. It is clearly genital mutilation, and I feel horribly violated that it happened to me. It’s one of…
I found out the other day about Disparate Impact in the United States and was kind of concerned. Here [https://www.investopedia.com/disparate-impact-5114526] defines disparate impact as: >Disparate impact refers to the result of the application of a standard, requirement, test or other screening…
If I have 10 dollars in a bank account, I do not in fact own 10 dollars. I own 10 IOUs from my bank. I can redeem these IOUs for cash at my local bank, or I can use them for payment directly in a bank transfer and let someone else redeem them. If the bank goes under, I can rest assured that my…
For some reason, many leftists have bought into the idea that men and women are the same and therefore every disparity is the result of sexism despite the fact that there is not a single study that has found no difference between the brains of men and women and several that have found clear…
Listen if its a catch all term for minorities i can understand it. But my friend described me as a person of color and that shit just sounds alien? Like im black i cant even fully articulate why its bothers me maybe it has something to do with how blacks were talked about in jim crow But…
I firmly believe that healthcare should be denied to no one regardless of their economic or social conditions. However, what boils my blood the most is that we have so many perfectly good vaccines against Covid that are readily available and accessible in most first-world countries, and yet people…
I first want to say that I don't think abortion is moral in all circumstances having an abortion after 9 months clearly isn't. I don't think human life in itself is valuable, I think that sentience is the most important factor which gives intrinsic value. Sentience = the ability to experience. For…
While I do not mind keeping the seat down and have been doing so whenever I share a bathroom with women, be it with familly, roomates, or at work, I always considered it a courtesy, like holding a door open. What I take issue with is women demanding or thinking that it should just be like that. In…
Reddit has a reputation wherein its users are generally introverted and have difficulty in making and maintaining relationships with people. After sometime here, it's pretty evident in subreddits i've seen and some people that I have talked to. It's not wrong to be intoverted, don't get me…
I've been fascinated recently with historical attempts at structurelessness and the effect that has on human behaviour given that hierarchies of one form or another have historically been an inevitable part of basically any large human society. The story of Tony Hseih's dream of a structureless…
I'm absolutely open to having my view changed on bit or whatever coins, but after a comment response I just made to someone trying to defend NFTs, stablecoins, smart contracts, I've realized a very specific thing that can clue you in to the fact that they're a type of Ponzi scheme or scam: "if you…
Changing opinions is usually seen as a sign of weakness or incompetence, and most people are subconsciously terrified of being wrong. With that being said, I believe that the reason why the split between the political community is so much larger than before isn’t solely because if echo chambers,…
A person should be given as much control over their body as possible and a man can decide to get a circumcision later on in life instead of the decision being made for him by his parents. From a religious standpoint as a parent you have to be aware that there is a chance that your child won't follow…
I’m almost 25 years old and am starting to realize going out and getting drunk kind of sucks. I have a great time in the moment obviously but always wake up with less money and a big ass headache. I wonder if there’s more I could be doing. I like to make music, but always feel more pressured to go…
I suffer from depression, am at the stage of suicide idealization, and generally speaking I have more or less accepted that I will die by my hand eventually. Not today and probably not tomorrow, but I can see the trend in my life and I don't see it getting better. Truth is that some people are dealt…
Nuclear energy is cheap, abundant, clean, and safe. It can be used industrially for manufacturing while solar cannot. And when people say we should be focusing on all, I see that as just people not investing all we can in Nuclear energy. There is a roadmap to achieve vast majority of your nation's…
Shorter men are widely considered as less attractive on average (all things being equal) to taller men. There’s nothing they can do about this, short of leg lengthening which is very expensive, high-risk, painful and can necessitate many many months of recovery time. Other than lifts there isn’t an…
As an engineering student I find this to be very crucial in learning. Memorizing the material for an exam is not a good way in learning the material whereas having an open book exam makes learning the materials much easier. All exams should be open resources. It increases note taking skills that…
During the initial lockdowns we were told that we had to wait for vaccines. Those vaccines are here now and the rate of new vaccinations is slowing down. Washington state just announced that there will be another mask mandate due to a rise in cases. Now what are we holding out for? Are we hoping…
I can already see the comments now “Dur, you’re an incel” “reee you must be fun in the bed”. This whole thing stems from a relationship I had where my then girlfriend introduced me to legit bdsm. At first it seemed kind of erotic, but then I realized how dark it has gotten. It’s not just leather…
We are allowed to promote and encourage choices that can lead us to live healthier lives. If you choose not to do these things, it is fine, that's your choice to make. This doesn't mean that information regarding these things is an attack on your right to choose whether or not to partake in them. It…
Most religions in fundamentalist form are dangerous. However Islam adds another layer to this, by preaching how to govern people, and clearly dictates what laws are and are not to be implemented. This is directly contradictory to the concept of developing laws by public forum, considering the views…
Let me first clarify that I am in no way trying to justify the sexual assault of children. It is, of course, disgusting and immoral. Having said that, I feel that my argument is primarily predicated upon my belief that treating pedophilia as a mental illness will lead to a decrease in the number of…
I wanted to make this post after seeing a woman on twitter basically say that a white woman shouldn't have made a cookbook about noodles and dumplings because she was not Asian. This weirded me out because from my perspective, I didn't do anything to create my cultures food, so I have no greater…
Most of us have seen them — a toddler wearing a backpack with a leash attached to it, which is either being held by their guardian, or, better yet, attached to a belt around the guardian's waist. And I think most of us are aware of the negative reactions a lot of people give to these leashes,…
The people - people of all races, colors, creeds, economic statuses, education levels, and morals - who pay their share of taxes do so because that is what they need to do in order to financially secure all of the benefits that being a citizen of the USA provides. When you pay taxes, that means…
I like being introverted and by myself. I feel like whenever someone tells me they’re worried about my lack of friendships it’s unhealthy. But what if I don’t want friends? Back in college I kind of realized I was an annoying person and now that I’m older, I’m more laidback but I don’t have…
Just as in the past, and specifically in this country to ensure religious freedoms, there was a clear and distinct separation between church and state, now there needs to be an updated view on this to ensure separation between state and private, corporate interests. It's no conspiracy to state that…
1. I know the videos of people clinging to planes is tragic and that the Taliban is evil but the fact of the matter is that out departure from Afghanistan was always going to be chaotic and we cant get out everyone who wants to flee the country. We could have waited another 6 moths and…
Okay now that I hooked you with the most blatant point time for the argument. Babies has 1-2 cups of blood in their body, you have to be a complete moron (which the biggest loser sized parents are to get that big in the first place) to put soda or sweet ice tea in the babies sippy cup. That is pure…
Unfortunately, society still clings on to sexist views. One of which is that it is not that bad for a girl to slap a guy, but it is terrible if a guy slaps a girl. Violence is wrong. Regardless of gender. Any other view is sexist. Even though guys are stronger, this advantage is offset by the fact…
Our interests don’t always align with good paying jobs. If yours do, good for you, but you’re an exception. That’s why there are so many starving musicians and freelance writers. So many people decide to choose a job that they enjoy when in reality, the job they enjoy is unrealistic and pays like…
UPDATE: I have changed my view. I have seen in one post that the Taliban group in Afghanistan should not be labelled as 'Muslim' terrorists because it will further endanger and stigmatize the good Islam people. The religion should be left out of the conversation, says one citizen. I do think that…
I'm in online spaces where this is a hot button issue and everyone is very vocal about their opinions. Key point: When I say pedophilic fanfiction and fanart, I specifically mean that which includes an adult having sex with a minor who is below the age of 16. This number is near-universally…
CMV: Pulling out of Afghanistan was the right decision and the Taliban takeover doesn't change that.
I am 100% convinced that Biden made the correct decision. This is a war that has been going on for 20 years, and for what? Billions of dollars and thousands of lives wasted. I'm so tired of hearing the same old excuses about why we (the U.S.) needed to stay. Yes, of course, entering the war was a…
I am genuinely looking for new perspectives on this, because I have thought long and hard about my position but my opinion on this still seems to be at odds a bit with several of my close friends. To begin, I am not anti-sex work. I technically have a job in the sex industry- my last year of…
I understand that they are the ones causing the continuous spread of covid and comedy is an outlet. As someone with a younger brother who is against the vaccine it bothers me to see posts celebrating the death of victims. He has been for lack of a better term “brainwashed” by the media and my family…
Because this is a topic with a lot of really fervent advocates whose attention I'm likely to draw, let me clarify some things about what I'm not saying: 1. I am espousing a PREDICTIVE view, not a normative view. I am not arguing whether nuclear power is good or bad, necessary or unnecessary. …
After watching people leave their cars with the keys on in a traffic jam and literally cling on to an airplane to escape the ISLAMIC Emirate of Afghanistan, there’s no way to not see that Islam is not a religion of peace. Let’s do a quick history exercise looking at religions with major…
When choosing a vehicle to purchase or when choosing how to customize your vehicle, you have options. You could buy an old 1990s sedan and replace the ancient FM radio with a Bluetooth receiver, you could buy a reliable SUV and install spill-proof seat covers for your messy kids, or you could buy a…
Me and my friends were discussing about how some celebrity said a slur within a another persons song at 16, she apologised at 18. My friends stance was “She should have known better at 16, she knew it was racist, she is racist for saying it and only cares know because she is getting cancelled” My…
Most Americans are familiar with the process by which you overpay your taxes throughout the year from each paycheck, and then come tax filing time, you receive a refund from the government equal to the amount you overpaid. But if you think about it, all you did was loan your money to the government…
Like the title says you always see the feminists talk about how patriarchy hurts men just as much as women, which I agree with only powerful rich men, usually politicians truly thrived for most of human history. However nowadays we have made many strives towards egalitarianism in the west, but far…
I believe that in abandoning Afghanistan, the United States is doing an immoral injustice to the Afghan people. I will go over the reasons I see most often cited as a justification for pulling out and explain why each of them is wrong in my opinion. 1. The US shouldn’t have been in Afghanistan in…
And Greeks and the Irish. It’s a known fact that throughout history certain groups have been assimilated into white American culture. The most prominent being the Italians. Italian immigration to the US was a huge cultural event that started in the 19th century. Millions of them would move to…
I don’t think it means that they have each other’s back because job is hard (more jobs are dangerous), they are big community that wants close knit community, hard job that needs support and all that other good jazz like every other profession has. I literally think it is about protecting bad apples…
There's this notion that pro-lifers want abortion reduced to almost zero, while pro-choicers prefer that there continue to be around 1 million abortions per year in America every year. But as I see it, both sides actually want abortion to be reduced to near zero. Pro-lifers, of course, want…
The people on those subs are simply mentally ill. Banning their communities simply moves a majority of those users to more fringe websites or message boards where those toxic ideals can be echoed in an even more isolated environment. I think most of the “incel subs” tend to stay in their own bubble…
I’ve been seeing countless posts by people who choose not to be vaccinated for myriad reasons. The thing they all have in common is the lack of reasonable judgement. There's seemingly this denialism of how disruptive the pandemic has been for everyone on the planet and yet the refusal to do their…
Churches are included in this. My line of thought is that too many incidents have occurred, especially in churches, where people have put money into these institutions expecting it to be spent for noble purposes only for it to be embezzled into the preacher’s pocket. Having every cent you put in…
By fear I mean all the fear-mongering rhetoric right-wing speakers use to present an idea. It's always in opposition to something, always presented as a defense of our values which the left, blacks, jews or any other minority want to "take away". By primary instincts, I mean judging and making…
There are countless flawed arguments used by people who support maintaining or bringing back the death penalty, but almost all of these fall apart upon closer scrutiny. "Screw them, they deserve it!" Humans are flawed and make mistakes, and there is no way to design a 100% fullproof justice…
I see people all the time call things grilled cheese that aren't and I don't understand it. How the hell is a sandwich with ham, turkey or even brisket a grilled cheese when the primary ingredients are not cheese. Cheese cannot be an after thought or an accent in something something called "grilled…
I personally do not see a use for the Senate. In theory, the senators are supposed to enact the interests of the state but in reality the senators pander to their political party. Representation is based entirely on States and not population so we end up having a backwards system where less people…
We could give people a warning, a last chance to get vaccinated, before sending the inoculation abroad. After that, resources will not be wasted on them. These stories of thousands of vaccines going bad because people refuse to get vaccinated demonstrates a mismatch in supply and demand. Since a…
I realize that many of you may need to take a devil's advocate stance on this, but with so much hatred towards him online from the political right I just have to try and understand where the anger comes from. I've seen him labeled a criminal, liar, and a terrorist for seemingly no reason. I…
Children and babies don’t/rarely get the chance to tell their parents and family members that they don’t want their photos taken or that they don’t want them posted online. I’ve heard people say that “It’s for the memories.” But photos getting posted online don’t disappear and what if your child…
I've seen the following argument a few times now: some evidence is provided to demonstrate that trans people's brains are, on average, more similar to the gender they identify with than you'd expect from an average member of their genetic sex. This illustrates they're on to something when they…
Afghanistan is a lost cause and countless thousands of afghans have grown up in a democracy and are going to be plunged into a handmaid's tale dystopia very soon. I met an all girls law school team of afghan women at an event a few years ago, and I can't imagine what they must be going through right…
In the Batman comics, Robin (a role that is taken on by various individuals) is a youngster, sometimes even a pre-teen, but more recently between 13-15. Here is another Redditor's informed opinion on the ages of Batman characters, including…
It was the household policy I grew up in, my mother raise us(me and my little bro and sis) by herself. She believes that since she raised us we owe it to her. I know others have lived the same thing. I believe being a parent is a selfish choice (I am a dad of two girls). And therefore it is the job…
The Netflix series for Witcher hired Anya Chalotra to play Yennefer. She is from England but she is half Indian and POC. As well as actress Anna Schaffer who plays Triss, from Germany but also POC. Both characters originally are from a slavic descent and are not described as POC in the books and…
I believe that we need to start investing more resources into the nuclear energy industry very soon if we want to have any chance at stopping climate change. It is the only energy source we have right now that is reliable AND carbon neutral. It may not be perfect as it produces nuclear waste which…
In a nutshell, I think that the campaigning of climate change action in conjunction with other leftist policy has been extremely detrimental to the movement. I shall speak from the perspective of an Australian, though I'm sure this is analogous to other national experiences. In Australia, the third…
First off, I don't blame them, it seems that their situation is deliberately externally imposed upon them. But the objective reality is that the average American person lacks a basic critical understanding of history, politics, geography, physical and natural sciences, philosophy, and language. I…
A true capitalist economy creates wage growth through very, very low unemployment. When businesses struggle to hire or retain employees because there are better options elsewhere, then their only options are to make the job more attractive through wages or incentives, or go out of business. In our…
I am not anti-vax (I had both) and I am not pro-life, but I have always felt that the 'my body, my choice - and the buck stops there' argument was weak ass. There are many good arguments on the pro-choice side, I just don't think this is one of them. If you think the bodily-autonomy argument is…
As far as media creation goes, the goal is generally to be appealing to potential audiences (viewers, readers, players, etc.), so it’s pretty much impossible to point at examples of “forced diversity” as uniquely cynical. Creative choices are either all legitimate or all “forced”. Even if someone…
NOTE: I’m not including slurs, as those are tied to trauma and are a completely different league from “Fuck”, “Shit”, “Ass”, etc as they were made to demean certain demographics. Edit: Perhaps the better title might be “The current social standards regarding swearing need a serious overhaul, as…
Its forces men and women to form life and morals around a societal idea that is designed to force people into roles. If you want to be approached by anyone, you've got to play this Alpha Male Dance, and force people into being interested. I've talked to many a person, after being friends with them…
More broadly, I feel like many statistics are reduced to uselessness when applied on an individual level. It is often said that having a gun in the home doubles, triples, etc your likelihood of being a victim of gun violence. This sort of thing is not useful information when applied to…
We all made sacrifices over the course of 2020 and the first part of 2021 as a result of the global pandemic. I struggled a great deal, but was able to pull through because there was a light at the end of the tunnel: vaccines and a return to normal life. I wore my mask. I stayed isolated to the…
Grades K-12 are intended to teach students the basic information that most people should know by adulthood. It is agreed upon that certain subjects be required in order to graduate. This is to ensure students are well educated on things a school board has deemed important like: their country’s…
I see a lot of posts that are like "don't tell women to "insert common safety precaution at night", tell men not to rape" and i AGREE, its fucked up 100% we have to do this But it is fucked up times we live in, so advising women to take ear phones out or to have a emergency contact dialed up or to…
Whether it’s because your candidate lost an election, or more simply because it’s “magnetic”, or because you view the current administration as evil, or it’s going to ruin our country, or it’s not safe because it’s “untested” or whatever lame reason is still yet to be heard, the real reason for the…
Hi all, after reading this link [https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thelondoneconomic.com/lifestyle/eight-per-cent-of-americans-think-they-could-beat-an-elephant-in-a-fight-269759/%3famp] I put a lot of thought into the average American’s fighting ability unarmed and found them… wanting. Now I know…
The 2021 budget for the US is about 6.8 trillion. The top 100 billionaire range from ~$130B to $18B. On a rough average let's say $75B x 100 is $7.5T. So even if we took 100% of there wealth we may be able to solve our problems for a year. Most of this isn't even cash, it is net worth based of the…
It is well-documented that 20th-century medical experiments in the US used African-Americans as guinea pigs in the Tuskegee syphilis study while telling them falsely that they were getting important medicine. This has been broadly cited as a reason that African-Americans do not trust the government…
You know the scene. A main character is pulled out of the water. Are they dead? OMG. Another main character starts doing chest compressions right away, and suddenly the person is coughing up water. They're OK. Hurray! Of course, that's not how it works. The person administering CPR didn't…
I think the entire world (less specific communities) eats too much meat. Science supports that fact that certain amino acids only available in meat (with the technology we have now) are necessary for neurological development. Even bone broth soup a few times a year is plenty for a grown adult.…
I've been hearing a lot of individuals (especially young people) who have grown a sense of hatred and shame for this country based on the dark parts of its history and what they're up to currently. However, I feel like not as much acknowledgement has been put towards the countless positive things…
I can't tell y'all the amount of posts I read on Reddit where someone is asking if they were in the wrong for being cruel towards their abusers (especially victims of child abuse) and being told they were, and to "be the bigger person". Not only is that mentality a roundabout way of saying, "you…
First of all, I'm not saying we shouldn't "go green" or try to stop our destruction of the environment, but the ship to "stop before irreversible damage" has long sailed. We can't just suck the CO2 and undo everything, the change is already underway and no human intervention can stop that. Instead…
I'm not even going to talk about the electoral college or senate representation because opinions on their reform are popular. Every fucking year, children in America are indoctrinated that their country has the greatest political system ever crafted by genius statesmen. When in reality, those…
let’s say if a black woman calls a white woman “Stacy” if their name isn’t such simply bc of their skin color is equivalent to a white woman calling a black woman “kisha” bc their skin. And I just think saying it’s not a valid argument is just to defect the idea, bc people can’t answer it. How can u…
I see how much the wealthy have broken down society and turned us into cold hustling sociopaths to better work for them and to kill ourselves or be killed when we become worthless in their eyes. I fully believe stealing from the rich isn't morally wrong... They're hoarding wealth they earned by…
With the recent Apple announcement of uploading encrypted hashes of all of your pictures to check for confirmed (CSAM) child pornography and reporting „affected“ users to authorities; Apple is building the very foundation of international surveillance they swore to combat. My view: This will cause…
It’s really frustrating to me seeing online communities and mainstream media pushing a narrative that you can still be healthy and obese when that’s completely false. When you’re overweight (but more so when you’re obese) fat builds up around your organs such as your heart and lungs which create…
I am an alcoholic in recovery (almost 6 years sober) and one thing that really sets me off is seeing articles and posts about how overweight people need to be better accommodated/catered to. While I consider myself to be an empathetic person and I would never be vocally cruel to anyone, this really…
I’ll start by saying that I understand why she did it, and I support it. Gymnastics is a very dangerous sport, and being in the wrong mindset can be lethal. On top of that, judges underscoring her difficulty must be so demoralizing and would be a drain on any person. Were I in her situation, I…
I’d understand if you had a 2yr-6yr employment gap that would literally have some explaining to do and if you are in no position to not be working I don’t think anyone should be doing that unless you became super successful or found ways of never having to work again and then suddenly needed…
So many people since Covid for example, are talking about how they “prayed to god, who told them they shouldn’t get the vaccine” Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t bishops, elders, cardinals and priests “special” because they talk to god? Why are they so special if everyone does it? Why do we need…
I really want to hear a logical counterpoint to this. It just seems so practical and basic. 99% of the industrialized world has implemented some form of it. I have lived a good portion of my life outside the US in both Germany and Japan (countries with Universal health care) and have found it…
View is pretty simple - I believe that no citizen should be subject at birth to the death penalty, but those who choose to accept state authority & responsibility ought to be held to a higher standard. By that, I mean that they should not only receive the death penalty for capital crimes, but a…
Lately it has dawned on me that I am the only thing that might actually exist. Everyone else is quite possibly just a figment of my imagination. If I die tomorrow, the whole universe will end with me. No one has ever been able to change my view about this - I have not seen one thing that would make…
The bombings were from anyway you look at it, morally, or militarily, the right move, From a moral standpoint, it is better to kill 200k Japanese than let 2 million Chinese die. The Japanese were committing war crimes on a massive scale, and even if you use the low end estimates, it’s still…
I've seen videos of animals either being neglected, abused, and sometimes even tortured. It's awful. I can't believe that the punishment is slim to nothing. There was a video of a man torturing animals and all he got was 2 months of jail time. I still can't believe that you can get more jail time…
Okay a classic: I am aware that this is a popular opinion. I want to use this post, to maybe get a different perspective on things, because for me it’s very clear that: cannabis should be legalized, especially if alcohol and Cigarettes are so fetishized. Or everything should be banned. Here are the…
It is great seeing kids as young as 12 participating and winning in the Olympics, but I believe that it shouldn't be allowed. Olympics are a lot of pressure and it might not be good for them to go against way more experienced athletes. I have seen countries where the atheletes need to train for…
The 21st century has been defined by the catastrophic failure of Western powers to spread democracy. The invasion of Iraq and the interventions in Libya used vague and poorly defined notions of freedom to engage in the destruction of state apparatuses, leading to outpourings of sectarian…
My opinion here goes both ways: People that collected PUA while moving back in with their parents, who used that money to better themselves somehow, and now no longer need to work retail/fast food/in a restaurant, and people who are straight up hoarding all of the money they got from PUA, and…
I'll start with Kevin Hart. In 2018, when Kevin Hart was set to host the Oscars, a series of homophobic tweets from 2009-2011 resurfaced, which eventually caused him to step down. I don't know if this was justified. He made those comments 7-9 years prior and he may very well have changed. Was their…
So, I am probably going to get downvoted for this, but I genuinely don't understand this whole concept. Why would anybody consider religion to be part of their identity? It is a set of claims about the universe, spirituality, ethics, God, supernatural elements etc. Why would anybody make a bunch…
From my understanding, unemployment exists to prevent a tidal wave of job loss and keep money flowing through our society. But it’s also an insurance policy. That people pay for. If I had a 2021 Mercedes-Benz, it got totaled due to natural events that were covered in my contract it would be…
I suffer from high functioning autism and while there are people out in the world with my disability who can make friends and socialize, not everyone wants to or cares. Basically I’m an introverted person and I’m not interested in people. When I tried to force myself to socialize I came across as…
It is my opinion that most people in society still look down on others who suffer from mental illness(es)... while they're alive. But if someone dies by suicide because of their mental illness(es), only then do most people in society suddenly and sincerely feel bad. To elaborate further on my view,…
I would be fine if this was for one month, or two months, but this policy has gone on too long. I personally am not a landlord and only own one home, but I feel if you own another property, e.g. you payed for it, then you should be able to control who lives there. If a tenant does not pay rent,…
So I believe that guns by themselves do not make places worse. I do not think they make it more dangerous. I think guns on top of other social and health issues becomes a bigger problem. Guns do not make a problem on their own though. Let’s look at the most dangerous US cities: Detroit, St. Louis,…
If it could be shown that the video or audio of an officer’s body cam was turned off manually especially during an active scene with injuries/death, the first violation should be a strict no pay suspension for many months. Second time it should be automatic termination and a charge of tampering with…
I do not believe any sort of ground based transportation (railed or tubed) will take the place of flying in the US any time soon (next century or so). I am specifying the US and I am basing that off of the struggles we face with smaller projects. Politics, environmental studies, unions & land…
I had this thought yesterday after seeing a bunch of these machines, and want to know if there's any reason why they shouldn't disclose odds. IIRC claw machines work by only grabbing the toy at full strength a fraction of the time to ensure that the machine earns a profit. If, for example, the…
Update: a better title would be "some degree of manipulation doesn't make a decision non consensual" Whenever I see people on the internet saying something like "oh, but (he/she) was in a position of power, so it wasn't really consensual" whether that's about sex or some other decision doesn't…
I've been ruminating on the meaning of love here lately, and I've come to the conclusion that love is a decision you make every day to elevate someone or something above your own self in terms of importance. Discussions with other folks has shown me how diverse the colloquial definitions of love…
Just wanna preface this by saying I don't want this to be a political debate of any kind. More of just a general discussion about the concept of democracy. Theoretically, a misinformed or ignorant public can do massive damage to itself and others by voting in a government or administration that is…
Video [https://twitter.com/TeamAOC/status/1422287825521844225?s=20] AOC claims that eviction is violence. I disagree. Can an eviction turn violent? Sure. However, removing someone from a property that they do no own is not an act of violence. An eviction can be simple… a letter or verbal…
To expand on my full idea, this stock held by the federal government becomes non-transferable for some extended period of time, say 25yrs. For example, if GM were to be bailed out right now for the same amount it has received ($50,744,648,329) the federal government would own ~931,436,276 of the…
I am very, very, very cynical about democracy's prospects in the US. Every day that passes feels like a checkmark on a countdown to the end of democracy. The defense of democracy is, to me, the single most important issue of the time, bar none. And I think that defense is... pathetic? Token? Less…
When police cars are black with dark lettering making it difficult to identify the car, to me, it says that police are not there to prevent crime but to catch people in the act of it. I have no issue with undercover police who are in completely unmarked vehicles, but a traffic cop sitting on the…
Honestly I saw a post about the Sims and someone killing the kids in their game so they could have more space and I thought it was funny. However I then found out that they removed kids dying after the first generation and replaced it with child services taking the kid a way and all I could think is…
Some will get auto-triggered but hear me out: Here's what I mean: I *constantly* see people trying to call out "cultural appropriation" without understanding what it really is, and acting as if they're the "defenders" of whatever culture is supposed to be offended. It's typically some SJW with…
We shouldn't cancel first, but educate first. Seems like everyone would agree, right? Some examples here may skew liberal just because it's most familiar to me personally—it's not my intent to make this a political argument, but rather the general topic of instantaneous cancel…
People really don’t have the right to complain about private businesses and stores requiring either a mask or proof of vaccination. Businesses helping promote vaccination by refusal of service to those who won’t wear a mask or provide a vaccination card is a good step towards ending the pandemic. I…
I keep seeing everyone beat on the other guy, like we created this situation for ourselves. I understand there is the science and the push to get everyone vaccinated so we can ALL have a better life and get back to normal. However, I can’t help but think that this is also the fault of governments…
Before the industrial age, anyone could use their hands and feet and grow things or make things, sell them, trade them for food, etc. and live. However, the world is changing fast, becoming exponentially more efficient and causing people to lose jobs, having no way to make a living. This is not…
While old age alone is not a reason to revoke a person’s drivers license, those with age-related physical and cognitive challenges such as slower reflexes or vision troubles pose a danger to the public and to themselves. As of right now in the United States, drivers are required to reapply for their…
Governments enact laws in order to keep its citizens safe. In this case, the government is justified in requiring vaccines in these settings in order to both stop the spread of covid overall and to protect patrons of these establishments. There is an analogy to seatbelts. There are laws where you…
I'm black myself. I follow a lot of what you'd call "black twitter". And frankly, its disgusting to me how many sites are basically saying how wrong it is that DaBaby is getting booted from music festivals. They are citing freedom of speech, blah blah blah. The fact that he went on a rant that was,…
I've become aware of a fascinating conspiracy theory that Lizard People run various governments--the United States of America, etc. Always, the operating assumption is that this is bad specifically because they are Lizard People. I find this close minded and offensive. We shouldn't be biased…
I remember a few months ago there were a few posts on this sub about how the riots that followed the murder of George Floyd were worse than the January 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Usually, the logic went something like this, “Only five people died in Capitol on January 6 and very little actual…
Even if you go to your dream country, a lavish resort or a big vibrant city, your company matters. Imagine going on holiday with a bunch of people who have a list that includes everything they wish to do, but you disagree with it and would rather roam around the place spontaneously (or vice versa).…
Here are the main reasons I believe this: 1. The current Presidential debate format is a joke and is an embarrassment to our country. Participants should not be allowed to interrupt, participants should not be asked more questions than another, and participants should not be allowed to…
No scrap yard should be legally allowed to buy Catalytic converters without the scrapper providing ID and a vehicle title matching the Catalytic converter. Too many people are getting their cars robbed of Cat converters which leads to expensive repairs that can be $100s of dollars. It causes cars to…
FYI I'm a male dude that almost everyday at work roll my eyes as people try to explain to me something I already know / argue in a topic they don't have ANY knowledge at all even I'm being a specialist at (UX/UI/design). Thus I realized that, even it probably happens more with women, it's…
Every time a company is issued a fine for criminal behavior, it's just accepted as the cost of doing business. Marginal profits are slightly diminished, or sometimes the fines are already anticipated and pre-allocated no differently than a simple bribe. What's the point of having laws at all, if the…
I shouldn't be expected to wear a mask if I'm vaccinated. I got my shots so I didn't have to. I wore a mask under our state mask mandate. I played by the rules during the first year or so of the pandemic. Clearly those who won't mask or get vaccinated don't care if they get sick. They've shown that…
(post uncensored for rhetorical effects as the subject matter pertains to it) So this is directly in response to multiple festivals cancelling Dababy. Let me start by saying, I don't care where you land ideological about his statements, that's not the basis for my view. This is purely about charging…
I'm in college debate and just moved on to uni where it's aggressively liberal. One of the things I've already been yelled at for is referring to homeless people as such. They want me to say unhouse individuals or people without housing. Which I found very semantic and nit-picky. The stated reason…
So I’ve had this idea since I was a teenager - another recent cmv about political debates reminded me of it. It’s pretty widely known that money buys a lot of elections. This doesn’t always mean that the richest candidate always wins, or that a shitty candidate with a lot of money will always do…
I understand why reddit would ban mgtow tbh, it was full of alt righters spewing hate. However mgtow2 was also banned which did not have that on any level at all. Regardless to my point, if reddit wants to ban these subs for being sexist or saying negative things about the other sex or whatever…
All three 'alternative' health practitioners utilise a combination of both western evidence based medicine and pseudoscience. If they only utilised proven effective therapies they would no longer practice pseudoscience. Without these pseudoscience's their scope of practice would match that of…
I mean this is a pretty basic one so essentially what it says above. But my three main reasons are the following: Easy to clean right after, soap is right there (urine while not actually sterile has very low bacteria levels). No "missing" because its right at crotch height Saves a ton of…
One of the top news stories on r/news [/r/news] right now is about an officer who committed suicide last week [https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/02/politics/dc-metropolitan-police-officer-suicide-january-6-capitol-riot/index.html]. The CNN article gives no indication of motive but they heavily imply that…
The title already says most of it. We’re in early pregnancy and are trying to decide if the missus should get her second dose of the Pfizer vaccine while she’s still in the first trimester. We’re UK based, are both working from home and not seeing many people socially at the moment and can continue…
They have another book of scripture called the book of mormon, they have churches and then temples that only faithful members can enter and believe that God, Jesus christ and the holy spirit are three separate beings. There are many other things that are a part of their faith that are unique to it…
Since the USAF declassified a bunch of UFO reports and admitted that unidentified aerial phenomena are a real thing that the government knows about and tracks, I have listened to a veritable buttload of podcasts and read a bevy of articles on the subject. The thing that is so frustrating to me about…
So firstly, notice the word "many" if my title, because this will obviously not apply to everyone. But I do think it applies to many. I think many of the people you see who support concepts such as "no human is illegal" and "no borders" are hypocrites, and only believe this for countries for which…
Isn't it amazing how when it comes to masks, a large cross section of America claims it causes mental distress. When it comes to mass shootings, a large cross section of America will quickly point to the mental health status of the shooter....even if the shooter had no previously diagnosed…
Pretty much what it says. Whenever I hear phrases like “raise awareness about mental health” or “taking care of mental health” and things of that nature, it feels like they really only mean anxiety, stress, and mild depression (not intending to diminish these at all) Mental illnesses I feel like…
I honestly like one punch man for this because it knows that Saitama being an unkillable god is boring so it does all kinds of other crazy stuff with the story. Compare that to DBZ or JoJo where characters have insane unbearable power and it's just kind of... boring. You pretty much know how every…
There are absolutely recreational drugs that should decriminalized/legalized. Marijuana is the most known example. Heroin is one that I have heard some people should be legal because when used responsibly, is no problem. The main reason I take issue with it is from personal expierience. One time…
Fast fashion brands like Shein, Zara, Topshop are major contributors to environmental problems progressing as a result of mass production of cheap, poor quality, disposable clothing. The fashion industry as a whole creates 80 billion garments a year which is over 10 for each person on earth. The…
My interest in him started in 2016 when I saw headline after headline likening him to Hitler, countless articles referring to him as racist, misogynist, transphobic, homophobic, the list of epithets endless. "This is going to be an interesting read" i thought to myself, and so I began watching full…
Yeah, pretty much the title. I feel religion really but Christianity in particular has created just large amounts of close minded people who take their bible as fact. If you have something they disagree with and they can find something in the bible that backs them up theres no changing their mind. I…
Edit for clarification: this is an anti-lockdown CMV, not stricter border control. Our elected government should not remove legal citizens liberties “for their own safety” if the government exhibits willful misconduct in preventing the spread of Covid due to illegal border crossings. Again, I’m not…
Inspired by an argument made with a user on here. Let's completely disregard the fact that currently I don't believe a surgically constructed sex organ is unidentifiable compared to a "natural" one, but lets disregard this and pretend there is no way to tell the difference at all. So let's…
"They do it for free" I don't know if you are familiar with the meme but it's a referance to internet moderators and what they do for no monetary compensation. On the surface it seems like a negative thing to say, and I would agree, but I would also agree with the point. There are countless of…
So let me start by saying CNN is not the only source guilty of this- the majority of American news sources have the same problem I'm about to describe. But over the last 4 years, CNN has become the worst, and I check over all the major sources on a daily basis (fox, CNN, NYT, Reuters, ABC, MSN, AP,…
Tone Edit: While this really is my view it is a light hearted one. I’m not angry or upset at Kellogg’s just genuinely of the view that food should be recognizable and identifiable even when out of the box and I’m equally perplexed as to why this particular item isn’t labeled as such. That said I’m…
Blue collar workers wearing protective gear makes sense. You don't need any special suit to make a spreadsheet. Some of the common arguments I've seen to contradict this go along the lines of: studies show that wearing a suit makes people more productive. But it seems that these studies were only…
When people die of COVID, where do you think they go? People die every day anyways, but funeral homes have been absolutely swamped since the start of this whole thing. The only thing you’ve probably heard about is the sheer number of bodies, having to be put into refrigerated trucks because the…
If someone is a gym shark athlete, IFBB pro, or just an actor who gained 20lb of muscle from eating "chicken, rice, and broccoli" The reality is that most if not all are probably on steroids yet so many people think that these people are natural and if they just train hard enough and diet they can…
