people he doesnt like

If you're breaking laws and commiting acts of violence and inciting terror, you are a terrorist.

It would stand to reason he would not like people that fit that definition.

If you are allowing terrorists acts to happen under the guise of "peace" you are complicit in their terrorist acts.

No he was playing boogie man for an issue that's never been a problem.

It can very quickly become a problem. People can endure double standards for a short period of time, but if it goes on long enough, there will be issues. The problem wasn't that racism exists in the black community, it's that racism this overt and extreme and transparent exists and he barely even apologized for it and doubled down, meanwhile we have good natured white people that ACTUALLY care for people of other race out here getting cancelled for soft racist shit they did like 20 yrs ago when the bar was far different then.

It's double standards, rules for the not me plain and simple.

No one is preaching black supremacy

Except Nick Cannon and everyone who is defending him, which is apparently a lot of people.
Honestly, this is even worse than the shit Trump supporters do and play Devil's Advocacy for him. At least in Trump's case, a lot of his rhetoric could be interpreted as 'not-racist' depending on how you interpret it and in full context, where there is ZERO context where Cannon's rhetoric isn't straight out of Mein Kampf just swapping Aryans with black people.

Blacks fighting for equality doesn't mean its going to turn into black supremacy.

Then why defend Nick Cannon in any shape or form? It's so much easier just to call him a racist and move the fuck on, yet you can't seem to do that. Why?

At no point have whites been pushed out of BLM.

BLM will push out other blacks if they aren't 100% behind everything the movement is doing.
You can be "pro police brutality against black people" and still have plenty of criticism.

...like the original leaders of it being Marxists and registered terrorists.
...like BLM not being a non-profit organization and no one will seem to answer where the hell all the money is going and even the Floyds have come out wondering where all the money being supposedly donated to their family is going. Most signs point that the money is going too...surprise, suprise, rich white liberals.
...like the extreme Devil's Advocacy for any rioting and looting or defending the killing of cops by protestors in any shape or form.
...like a lot of BLM members are very clear that they want the police defunded entirely or to an obscene extent, which is already proving to be a really stupid take in most cities where the cops have gone on strike.
...like the fact that we have recent MURDER cases for daughters advocating for Blue Lives Matter whose dad's who were cops were killed by BLM supporters, and then they get killed or cancelled.

The message of BLM is great, but the greatest enemy isn't someone who says they are your enemy, the greatest enemy is someone who pretends to be your friend. If you're out there murdering innocent cops or daughters of cops on the behalf of BLM, this seems to be pretty crystal clear that you think "Black lives > Blue lives."

At this point, it's extremely easy to hijack BLM, murder some cops, shuffle around millions in donation money and spread some anarchist agendas under the guise of helping black people and people will defend you as long as you attribute it to trying to help the BLM cause...

This is similar to how Jihadi starts. Muslims approve of Allah, bad muslims do bad shit but say it is in Allah's name, and then when you attack the extremists the good Muslims will play Devil's Advocacy for the bad ones because they feel it is an attack on their religion simply because saying bad shit is for a positive purpose seems to be enough to sucker good people in defending bad actions when they want a movement to be positive so badly.

I'm a semi-wealthy white man and I'd trade places with Chris Rock under the condition I get to be Chris Rock but at my current age, so Chris Rock at 30.

I don't want to lose 25 yrs of my life, regardless of the financial benefits.

Same with Jeff Bezos. I'm envious of being a billionaire, but the guy is still short, old, bald, and mostly ugly and I don't think his current gf is particularly attractive. I'm not entirely sure he could do better as he kinda looks like a Dobby from Harry Potter and I'd low key know that every woman is just dating me for my money.

I'd probably trade places with Zuckerberg. His wife is kinda meh and being a 5'7" scrawny manlet would suck, but I could always divorce her, pay the best personal trainers on the planet to get more fit, and even if I lose half my money in the divorce I'm still stupidly rich and young enough to enjoy my life as a world traveling party animal fuck boi.

Honestly, the only benefit of being rich vs. being middle class is being able to not work if you don't want to and being able to bang hotter women.

Private jets? Middle class have access to normal jets, which is the same damn thing just less pretensious.
Mansions? You can afford a really nice house as someone who is middle class if you save up and I have no need for 9 bedrooms.
Bouegy Hotels? Most luxury hotels are a rip off with most upper middle class hotels being more than nice enough, complete with nice finishes, good amenities, and usually a great view and solid location.

And the "being able to bang hot women" is typically contingent on you being both rich and still having some degree of good looks and youth and you can bang perfectly hot women without being rich, being rich just makes it a lot easier.

Yes, me pointing out that saying "damn she was hot" when someone passes away is tactless means you should never comment on anyone's looks ever.

Not really. I'd actually rather be called hot than handsome because hot means overall package attractive was while handsome could mean good looking but not actually attractive.

There's a lot of "good looking" and "beautiful" women I don't find that attractive. So ultimately, hot is the more encompassing compliment.

I'm not even going to read the rest of your post because of how monumentally stupid that question was.

Not really, getting uppity about compliments is pretty cringy unless people are being asses about it.

Maybe just don't do it at all?

Problem solved

Are you saying we should never comment positively on people's looks?

The only people who get offended about this are super attractive women who get too many compliments and then miss them the second they get older and the compliments go away, with pretty much everyone else in the spectrum appreciating them. And I guess lesbians hate compliments by men...still love compliments from women though, so it's more about bashing men than actually hating compliments.

Why not talk about something that's actually a quality people have more control over

"Damn, they were a nice and talented person"

You just imply that it's not as sad when unattractive or average-looking people die. It's dumb.

I mean, we have no idea what celebrities are actually like.

Complimenting their kindness is fake as we have no idea how nice they are and throwing a bunch of money at charities does not a good person make. Jeffrey Upstein donated plenty to charities...
Complimenting their talent fringes on them being talented...which honestly probably half of Hollywood isn't and they rely heavily on looks.

Complimenting looks is at the very least genuine.

The case study on the state of NY suggests the death rate is less than .1%, closer to .01% (which is still quite high and worth being alarmed about, but 1/100 dying is just bullshit) and most of the really bad long lasting effects of Covid like heart and lungs damage are overblown

My sister lives in China and got the bad shit: scientists have already acknowledged the strain has watered down compared to what Wuhan got hit with, where the mortality rate was like 6%.

She is 25 and super fit with no pre-existing condition other hand she used to smoke but jogs frequently so should have pretty strong lungs: she was in the ICU on a respirator with pneumonia.

She made it and has "lung damage and scarring of the lungs" and people really overinflating what long term damage actually looks like.

Will she be an Olympic athlete/triathlon runner? Prob not. Was she able to build her endurance back up and be able to run again, even though her lungs were weakened from the pneumonia for a time? Absolutely. The heart damage caused by Covid is typical in any disease that causes a long term fever that spikes your blood pressure. Nothing shows Covid or ANY Coronavirus attacks your heart.

The lungs are one of the toughest organs in the body, and the stress on your heart from years of obesity and high blood pressure is worse than short term blood pressure spikes from having a prolonged fever.

Again, no Coronavirus attacks your cardio system explicitly. The people who report having strokes, deleria, and brain damage would come from having a prolonged fever, as long as the fever is adequately treated and kept down, long term brain damage and strokes from severe fevers is highly rare.

Calling the police could be considered an act of violence.

Floyd didn't deserve to die, but he'd be rotting in jail today if he hadn't.

He was high on Fentanyl and Coke...while using fake money...while in the driver seat of the car he was driving around...while on probation from prison from holding a pregnant woman at gunpoint and had a history of having illegal firearms.

If he resists arrest, "violence" is the course of action police are entitled too.

You can never predict how the cops will act in todays society.

Actually, you can, thanks to statistics.

Barely over a handful of unarmed black men were killed by police officers in 2019. 7, I believe. Out of this handful, most were doing something unlawful in a tense situation.

You have damn near better odds of getting struck by lightning than being killed by a cop if you aren't breaking a crime and aren't armed.

Until there is meaningful reform in the nation, getting the cops involved should be avoided at all costs

Funny, they interviewed a bunch of older black people in Harlem and they overwhelming disagree with you.

I guess that must be some of that ignorant "I live in a nice neighborhood and don't know how bad shit is in the bad parts of town" priviledge.

The girl isnt bad looking, but the guy had really, really bad acne iirc.

It's hard to see in that video because the resolution is shit and he has it particularly bad on his back. But yeah, acne is a huge handicap. I would know as I went through some rough acne in middle school and my self esteem was total shit. It's pretty hard to view yourself as fuckable when you look in the mirror and your face has a bunch of piss offed bumps on it.

However, mine cleared up by Sophomore yr, if this guy is getting severe acne as an adult he really needs to see a dermatologist.

Also, you will need toie to guy and tell him you didn't know until after you slept with her. If you tell him that, it is 100% on her.

She is a hoe and if it's not you, it'll be someone else. Might as well be you as you're a nice enough guy to actually rat her out. Also, if you don't sleep with her, it's a big fat nothing burger and the guy might not even break up with her.

It depends.

When it comes to empathizing, you shouldn't be color blind.

When it comes to interacting with people, I would argue anything else other than being color blind makes you racist.

The way I see it, if a POC wants to voice their grievances, you should listen, but if you walk around assuming these grievances define the person, you will likely overcalibrate, and wind up indirectly condescending to them and treating them like a charity case...which while good intentioned, is racist.

Hard racism that comes from a place of actual hatred of looking down on black people should be fireable, perhaps even if shown years down the line.

Soft racism, like a bunch of YouTubers doing black face or making a cringy joke when we as a society were much less touchy about stuff 15 yrs ago and they didn't have any hate or condescension behind it, should not be a fireable/cancelable offense.

I don't believe in the whole derpy asexuality "I'm attracted to someone solely based on their mind" bullshit, when the people who say this are always women, and the men who they say this about typically wind up having lots of other high value traits, like being good looking, successful, while an overwhelming majority of women will not give your "mind" a chance if you aren't bringing something else attractive to the table.

Yes, personality matters. For both sexes. I could not date a woman who drove me bat shit crazy and bored me to tears regardless of how hot she was. But at the end of the day, "women are sex objects for men" is just bullshit. Most men are looking for legitimate relationships. And even the ones that aren't and are just trying to get laid, are usually doing it to self validate themselves, which is similar to what women do to lots of men who pursue them.

Men put sex on a bigger pedestal than women because sex is in far less abundance for us while relationships are usually super easy as long as you're halfway decent in the sack and have your shit together. If the chick is thirsty or the guy is hot enough, women will objectify the fuck out of men sexually. We see them do it to male celebrities all the time, and if you're decent looking or have a decent looking friend, talk to them about how nearly every one of them has been sexually assaulted by chubby chicks at bars/clubs.

Ironically enough, both sexes "objectify" shallow partners in a similar way: status symbols. For men, having a woman much younger than you and out of your league in looks is a status symbol that says you are a highly successful man. For women, having a man who is out of her league in social status says she is a highly successful woman and sets her apart from other beautiful women that date "loser" men.

At the end of the day, both sexes are looking for a prize. The criteria for what constitutes a prize in the opposite sexes eyes are different, but both genders are equally shallow in different ways. Hell, if we're going by dating site metrics, women are definitely more shallow there, where bell curves pretty much don't exist and like 80% of guys are viewed as undateable by polls and results.

His mother Karen Savage also issued a statement via Brettler, saying, "It makes me very sad to say this, but my daughter suffers from severe mental health challenges, and it's devastating that she's putting Adam and our entire family through this. Adam is a good man, and I support him completely."

Honestly, this wraps things up for me. People who are waiting for the "evidence" to come out...it's never coming. Even if this did happen, the only evidence that could possibly exist is for the parents or Adam's other siblings to testify.

Unless this mother is an absolute monster of a human being (which is unlikely, I can buy a rapey brother, but a rapey brother that is completely defended by his mom when he raped his own sister? what about the other siblings?), I am on Adam's side on this one.

White Knighting isn't a category like Simps or Cucks, it's just an action without proper context to any particular label.

Here's the difference:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sean-bean-stabbed-in-london-bar-fight/

Sean Bean....successfully actor, ruggedly handsome....He's an Alpha, and white-knighted to defend a girl from being abused, and he got stabbed for it...

..compared to...

....no nevermind, I'm not going to sully my youtube algorithm finding a video of a Simp white-knighting and defending some dime-a-dozen thot on Twitch....

See, this is why a lot of internet slang words are dumb, because people make up arbitrary definitions.

White Knighting means just that...being a white knight.

What is a white knight? In fairy tale tropes, a white knight is the good knight that saves the damsel in distress from the evil Black Knight.

As a white knight, you saving a woman like she is a damsel in distress from a bad man is white Knighting.

White Knight is the perfect example of a word that doesn't inherently have bad meaning that salty little internet nerds use to try to demean men.

Universally white Knighting women can certainly be bad, but white Knighting women when they actually need it and it's called for is not bad at all.

Saving a woman from a bar fight is white Knighting. Defending a woman in a Instagram comment section when some guy says something misogynistic is also white Knighting. One feat of white Knighting was more called for than the other, this why white knight has been used as an insult.

There is never a context where simping is good. Simping by it's very nature is bad.

Simping, at its core, are essentially men who fall in love with new wave sex workers. E-thoting is the new wave of sex work. Women have figured out it's more profitable to highly sexualize themselves and as long as the platform is large enough, there's enough pathetic men out there (aka the simps) to give them money for essential nothing. Stripping and actual prostitution are for 2nd and 3rd world women who don't have that marketing priviledge to a large enough volume of pathetic 1st world country men.

If anything, the analogy still isn't even quite apt, because a guy at least stands a maybe 1% chance of getting a hooker to fall for him if his sex is that good or he's that hot or charismatic and it's a direct exchange of value.

The simp stands absolutely 0% chance and is laying often large sums of money for something that is of lesser value than what every man regardless of outcome has for free (porn).

Sanity is a one trick pony, all you get with it is rational thought, but with crazy the sky's the limit.

Simp might be the first nerdy internet word that is actually apt.

Soiboi is overused tripe to describe any dude who isn't a muscle bound jock, which ironically enough, is probably 90% of the guys on the internet that use it.

I assume it's mostly used by fat fucks who think being an obese orc is more "manly" than being skinny with little muscle, which is pretty ironic given women typically prefer the later.

Cuck is short for cuckold, which is a guy that unintentionally raises another guy's child. I think porn did some culture stuff to it, to where enjoying seeing your girl get plowed by another dude makes you a cuck.

Still, men like this are almost non-existent, so this is a stupid and overused word and has practically lost all meaning.

'Chad' and 'Alpha' are extremely arbitrary and I see people call people Chad's that I would never consider Chad-like, same with Alpha.

My definition of a Chad is that extremely confident jock dude who is almost always muscular and good looking, is typically dumber than a box of rocks, who is naturally good with women. A guy who is clever that is good at talking to women doesn't even fall under my definition of Chad, because it's too try hard and not natural enough.

Basically, a Chad should embody "cave man game" or " big dick energy" to where he basically barely says anything and most just puts his hands all over girls and they just eat it up.

A Chad isn't even necessarily the archtypical guy who is "best" with women. A guy who is more try hard, with more money and intelligence, who plays the social game better will almost always get better results than a Chad, long term.

Simp however, is short for simpleton or fool and is used to insult men that worship and chase women that openly don't value them and treat them like garbage or openly and unapologetically use them.

'White Knighting' isn't Simping, white knighting is defending women, which depending on the context, is completely appropriate. Simping is you giving chicks money or insane amounts of attention when they have done little to nothing to earn it.

And guys like this, are absolutely real, and absolutely pathetic and deserve to be mocked. Guys who send girls on Twitch thousands of dollars for showing cleavage or quite literally some of the most pathetic men on the planet and the fuck up the sexual market place for everyone else.

That's the most extreme form of simping, but kissing some half naked chicks ass on her Instagram is the next worst thing. Mostly because it's pointless. It makes these girls further unobtainable and a pain in the ass for anyone who might be able to date her, and these girls don't take any of the man kissing her ass even remotely seriously. For her, it's just ego boosting validation.
