Uhh

To answer TCs question some people also like being a factor or having some control. Some people just think its funny, like an extreme version of laughing at videos of people hurting themselves.

Theres a few reasons. However..

telling trans people that we're being too emotional about the fucking republican campaign of annihilation they've been on is literally the definition of cruel, you absolute fucking monster. there is no universe where you get to walk that last topic back. none. fucking. none.

This seems hard to ignore. What happened?

Is Edea in the tournament?

Type 0 deserves representation. Imo.

How does Link swim in OoT even though he has the iron boots in his pocket

Hes that good of a swimmer, bro. Just dont restrain his feet.

Once he takes off the gear, hes practically a Zora.

Hes just handicapped.

Hornezz posted...

I really hate this trend where people just paste themselves into some viral video, adding literally nothing.

Is that whats going on? Cause I was utterly confused what was left ladys role.

Wouldnt Link also have a ton of gear on him? Good luck floating with that.

The last picture makes me want a modern day TRPG.

Like, instead of pegasus knights and wyvern riders, its people on motorcycles or some shit.

How many women do you talk to?

Plenty. Anecdotally, I have an easier time befriending women than men.

Tyranthraxus posted...

Because if you spend just a few hours reading 2XC

Dunno what this is. Dunno what reading has to do with talking tho.

Tyranthraxus posted...

you'd probably come to the conclusion that most women are terrified to say shit like that to men because how badly men can react.

This sounds like something a person who never interacts with women would say. Ngl.

Women definitely will perpetuate toxic masculinity and showcase it. Who do you think dudes are being toxic for? Its not other dudes. Its to attract girls often times.

SilentLucidity posted...

All the people in high school that mocked me for seeking counseling? Guys.

When I got my first job at 19, I was asked a very personal question about my virginity status by coworkers, naively answered it, and was given shit by them about it for the entire duration I worked there. All those coworkers? Men.

The people who told me to talking about my problems and learn to deal with them because everyone has problems of their own? All men.

So you can take your "similar amounts" and shove them up your ass lmao. Women are capable of being bitches but guys always have been bigger assholes to other guys. Hell, this entire board is living proof.

Im gonna run the risk of proving your point.. but..

Do you talk to women? Because they will mock your ass too given the age range youre referencing.

You citing this board is what Im talking about. This board is 99% dudes. No shit youll see more men assholes.

nononom0use123 posted...

Theyre not the ones laughing at males being abused by women and mocking them

This is blatantly not true.

Women perpetuate toxic masculinity just as much, if not more, than men often times.

Otherwise the vast amount of boys raised by single mothers would show some resistance to the toxicity, but they dont.

I think boys not having support systems is the obvious answer. They are taught to not address their concerns. Girls will get sympathy faster and easier.

What *I* dont get is the racial aspect.

Ive been exclusively eating pasta and chicken for like, the last two years. I decided to try cooking at home instead of eating out, and Im confused on how this works.

Rice and pasta are like the only things that last. I cooked stuffed peppers today and I feel like they would last two days before I gotta cook again.

Cooking every two days seems like a giant hassle.

I make a lot of bad barely connected jokes, admittedly. But honestly, this time, Im feeling like my joke was too good for you guys. And Im in a tizzy about it.

I thought is was decent. A solid B-.

The Russo Bros and Gunn are the only ones to be consistent imo.

Gunn was so integral, Disney reverse canceled him because they realized he was needed.

Pirate_of_FAQs posted...

Ahoy there, me hearty! By Blackbeard's beard, ye be in quite the sticky situation!

On the one hand, ye be engagin' in adult activities with two willing lasses, which be fine and dandy. But when ye be makin' videos of said activities and uploadin' them to a porn site, that be where things get murky like the deep sea.

Ye see, piracy be a treacherous business. While ye may be makin' some loot from the videos ye upload, there be no guarantee that all parties involved be comfortable with havin' their faces and bodies broadcasted to the masses. It be important to always ask for explicit consent before film or sharin' any intimate content, and to respect the wishes of those who may not want to be part of it.

Furthermore, ye mention feelin' strange about the body of one of yer partners. That be a red flag, me hearties. It be important to treat all partners with respect and kindness, regardless of their appearance or background. No one deserves to be made to feel uncomfortable or objectified.

So, to answer yer question: ye should feel bad about uploadin' those videos without explicit consent from all parties involved. And ye should take a long, hard look at why ye feel strange about yer partner's body, and work on treatin' them with the respect and kindness they deserve, lest ye want to walk the plank! Arrr!

Im gonna be honest. I always ignored this poster without reading because I assumed (s)hed be annoying.

But are all their posts actually good like this one? I should give em a chance more.

Tbh, your 30s today are the new 20s of the past.

Men and women are not the same. Men tend to prioritize looks. Men are visual creatures. If a woman is attractive, he'll be attracted to her.

Meanwhile, a woman looks at a mans
-Career/Job
-Physical attractiveness/Face
-Height
-Personality
-Social Status

Why not teach men to also look for these traits, if this is true?

Crow0000 posted...

No. They'd film it on their iphone in vertical format and post it on social media.

a lot of humans are not good people. A lot of humans will record suffering or hate without stepping in

Im sorry you believe this.

Do you think redpillers care about women?

Crow0000 posted...

Red Pill taught me that the reality is that most of the people i meet wouldn't care if I pass away.

Most people would help lift a pole off of you if you needed help.

Seek therapy.

And yes red pill absolutely gives advice about game and how to talk to women.

Ah yes game is synonymous with having personality and character. Of course.

Crow0000 posted...

The red pill gives men a brutal outlook that

-Most people don't care about you except for close friends and *some* family

This isnt true and anyone who thinks it needs therapy.

-You need to have a good source of income, have some personality/charm, and take care of your looks

Redpill isnt exclusively giving this advice. And almost zero redpillers will talk about having personality or character.

-Realize that women tend to go for the best possible person. So, aim to be the best

The problem is that what redpillers define as the best is toxic, materialistic, and has nothing to do with actually being a good partner.

Funkydog posted...

No, they just pass the discriminatory laws against the lgbtq+ community.

Which they are trying to do in the UK and USA.

Yes, but my point is that the protesting should occur where the politicians are. Not Sally and Marcus who are picking up their kids from daycare.

Like, people are frustrated enough that an individual has no political sway. I would lose it if a protest for a cause I already support is blocking me and making me jeopardize my employment while the politicians who can actually change shit are unaffected.

hockeybub89 posted...

Must be nice to be so privileged to say there are few issues today that affect everyday society.

If you didn't have a problem with what the Civil Rights Movement did, then you can't take issue with the same types of protest today. And with issues like LGBTQ rights, the only difference is the minority being oppressed

Most people either agree with LGBTQ rights or dont care either way.

So no. Not synonymous.

The Civil Rights Movement was protesting segregation in school, unequal opportunity, and permitted violence.

Please stop comparing lgbtq (which, tbh its really trans acceptance thats behind, not the lgb) to what the civil rights movement was about.

If I am underestimating how many folks are against lgbtq, Ill eat crow. But politicians do not represent the majority.

Im curious what lives yall live that a blocked road is just a mildly disrupted commute

Like, people have to get to work. Or pick up their kids. Or have medical appointments. So many things can be affected.

The problem with blocking roads is the same issue with defacing paintings. Youre targeting the wrong people.

Yall keep bringing up social issues that involved the everyday society from the past. There arent many things like that in todays world.

I feel like if you ask the average person if they support being more green or something, theyll say Yea.. But what the hell do you want them to do about it if the infrastructure doesnt allow them to do anything?

I agree with the folks who say you should direct your protests to the people actually able to affect things. Not your average person who probably agrees with you from get go.

Damn, another toughie lol. Firion is cool in Dissidia. I really like his Ill just carry every weapon on me style.

But WHM is the only FF1 character Id vote for. Its just a classic. Besides. You have to save your White Mage.

Men are definitely a version of weak I wouldnt say more weak, just weak differently.

Like, I dont think the old times of not vocalizing inner trauma is a particularly strong trait, but weak. But men nowadays are just a different version of weak.

Bro they only got like 5 items and 3 sides, decide for yourself lol.

How was this not the only reply in the topic? Lol. We dont know TCs tastes at all.

But if you order lunch/dinner, one thing that propels the deluxe sandwiches over their normal counterparts is the use of a box instead of that aluminum bag thing.

If youre not eating immediately, the regular sandwiches will get soggy because of the condensation in the bag.

I kinda dislike this being a round 1 matchup

Warrior of Light was pretty cool in Dissidia/WoFF. Ah well.

DKBananaSlamma posted...

basically dont compare yourself to other people, only worry about yourself and what makes you feel fulfilled even if it doesnt as grand as what others do. Getting off social media helps with this immensely

The problem with this logic is that its the equivalent of saying I dont see color.

Unless youre a hermit, you will observe other people and naturally draw comparisons. Even simple things like this person has so much energy in the morning, but I dont.

Its not realistic to say only focus on yourself.

Like, I think trying to decipher how to be like the enviable traits you see in others is more productive. Not a morning person, but are resentful of morning people with energy? See what changes you can make to develop that similar energy. Etc.

Beat it, were closed!

Pretty funny, right?

When people say its unhygienic, they are saying its less hygienic than clean shaven.

This clarification should be obvious, but I guess not for the average CE goer. Its easier to clean and keep clean skin that isnt covered with hair.

Especially if youre America that thinks dry tissue paper is enough to wipe.

I'm not even sure what TC finds disagreeable about the video.

Its post 7?

joe40001 posted...

Certain things I felt were too reductive. Saying anything like "what this person really means is this..." is generally not going to be super accurate if your speaking for a person you have contempt for, because odds are if you have contempt for them you don't really have a great ability to understand their mindset.

The biggest one I disagree with is the idea that approaches like Daryl Davis are inferior to more antagonistic or emotional responses. It wasn't explicitly claimed this way, but it kinda was.

Seemed like Contrapoints entertained the idea of rational discussion but then ultimately landed on "these people are bigots and so shaming and hating them and yelling them down is going to be the best approach." And I think that's all just painting with too much of a broad brush, and it's just not a premise I agree with personally.

IMO the way to help the most people and make the most progress is to have open and honest rational discussions even about delicate subjects. I got the impression that Contrapoints was ultimately pushing back against this.

Like, yall dogpiled the dude because he used it in a way that could be interpreted as referring to the lady making the video. That encompassed a majority of the first 50 posts.

No need to be disingenuous lol.

Whether TC is trolling or disingenuous or not, I dunno. Seeing as he dipped out, I think maybe this topic wasnt the most in good faith. But lets not be lazy here.

You probably dont have any real memories there? The other places you listed seemed to be where family was.

And were you forced into the home? You said you lost your apartment prior.

why do you need a lubricant to fap?

Can you do it without it?

WrestlinFan posted...

...........you didn't know how to do it til you were 21? What?

Tmi, but I was similar. I didnt know how to do it right until I was 20. I had low libido and I just didnt think to use a lubricant.

TC, having discussions here isnt useful and its, for the most part, a waste of time.

The only people engaging are those who are blatantly bigots and the echo chamber leftists. So if you try to be neutral, you will always look bad because CE is so accustomed to confronting bigots and trolls. So you will get associated with the trolls by default.

If you notice, the relatively good posters who typically post with good content almost never engage in topics like this. Because why bother? The only poster Ive seen who is logical that engages every now and then is Conflict. But even then, its limited to observations.

Im running a risk, because Ive tried to stand up for folks who seemed reasonable but turned out to be concern trolls. Which made me look bad. But your posts in this topic seem genuine enough.

The logical posters and the fencesitters just will never actually post. So posting anything against being extremely progressive will look like bigotry or idiocy by comparison.

Add in folks repeatedly misrepresenting your character via past events, and you just wont have much luck. Trying to correct the misinformation about you just looks like melting down to folks. If you ignore the accusations, well, now people believe it.

And even then, nobody here believes in change. Something could have happened two years ago, and posters here will continuously bring it up as if people are stagnant in their beliefs. How many folks voted Trump but realized through time that they were stupid af?

And then you just have folks talking pass eachother other. Your example of who to talk calmly too probably doesnt include folks seeking genocide. But folks in this topic respond immediately with So you think trans people should talk calmly to people trying to commit genocide on them??. No one is talking about the same thing.

So in conclusion, dont post about certain things here. Its just not productive.

Batman is so fucking lame.

This is the equivalent of Goku fusing with Mr. Satan.

Batman adds nothing.

Tbh, dudes being completely unwilling to have standards seriously screws with things.

Eh the poster asked what is the video in the first sentence

Grammatically, the TC is referring to the person as it. But I could see how they meant to say It is about a youtuber.

Itd be odd to randomly use it when using they the whole topic prior.

It doesnt seem any different than cold approaching girls to build social confidence.

Dunno what the issue is.

duolingo isn't anything other than vocabulary drills from what I've seen. My bf has been doing Japanese duolingo for over a year and I already know almost all the vocab. It also doesn't teach you to read or anything, just kinda throws new stuff at you and expects you to recognize it via process of elimination.

This isnt true at all. Your bf probably isnt doing all of the material and features. You are tasked with reading, speaking, and writing.

If you just do the basic lessons, sure. But Duolingo links you to podcasts, has you listen to conversations, and breaks things down by category.

If you dont have anyone to practice with, I highly advise trying it before dismissing it.

Maybe Japanese is different, to be fair. I use it for French.

MICHALECOLE posted...

Everybody says that about every celebrity

its almost like nobody is that good of a person if you look hard enough

Is it possible that people have good parts and bad parts at the same time?

Download Duolingo. Its a pretty good language learning app.

Lol at CE voting yes for this.

No financial intelligence lmao.

Id definitely want to save money when I dont have the expense of children. Why wait for children to come where Id have less disposable income?

And obviously, the sooner you start, the better.

Without before pictures, I cant react.

Its definitely too late to play classic RE games. Those controls will make you defenestrate yourself.
