| Anteaterking 08/05/21 11:49:47 PM #19 | jeffhardyb0yz posted... Fun fact: I was taken to one of his young earth presentations as a kid by super conservative family friends. yuck. If you've seen the documentary Jesus Camp, Becky Fischer led a week long children's bible camp at my church. At the time I told my parents there was something off about her and I didn't want to be part of it. --- |
| Topic | "Nice guys" wouldn't exist if people weren't raised to be nice. |
| Anteaterking 08/05/21 7:59:46 PM #26 | NoxObscuras posted... It's not a baseless accusation though. Putting "nice guy" in quotes like that means you're talking about the guy that's just pretending to be nice. Tbf, I think a lot of "nice guys" don't see what they're doing as pretending. --- |
| Topic | The Office is quite infuriating to watch. |
| Anteaterking 08/05/21 6:22:59 PM #52 | refmon posted... Leslie Knope is incredibly annoying and she ends up almost never being in the wrong. But Leslie Knope's role in the show is more like Jim's than Michael's. It's obviously not a one to one comparison between either of them, but that's why she gets less mockery within the show. --- |

| Anteaterking 08/02/21 9:53:44 PM #38 | Kuuko posted... I agree the word plot hole is used in all the wrong contexts but characters behaving extremely stupid to move the plot the right way is lazy writing and can be criticized all the same. It's bad when people are stupider than their characters are supposed to be, it just seems like a lot of people think it's a plot hole when someone makes a suboptimal decision that's reasonable for the character to make or when they don't act like they know they are in a movie. --- |
| Topic | Journalist wants a porn site for children |
| Anteaterking 07/30/21 2:23:42 PM #129 | I just really don't think this solves the problem that she is suggesting exists. Either you're a teenager who watches pornography and wouldn't care for whatever sanitized version that would exist for this (I believe in teaching more about e.g. consent, but that doesn't mean when I'm watching a video that I need to see them acquire it) or teenagers who don't watch pornography would watch more, which isn't bad but I don't see how it's good either. The idea of pornography motivated as a teaching tool for people to have sex seems like a weird place to try to instill these values. --- |
| Topic | All the mill decks in MTG arena are infuriating so I built an Izzet deck to |
| Anteaterking 07/21/21 11:10:19 PM #5 | Ryuko_Chan posted... playing stuff like mill in online card games or stall in online Pokmon is some deranged shit. the point of mill/stall is to either troll your friends IRL by wasting their time or to win an actual prize in a tournament. why do this in an online match vs a random for no reward? Why is mill different from any other strategy? I like getting milled roughly on par with being super beat down, etc. --- |

| Topic | Riley Reid brutally trolled after getting married as haters mock porn star job |
| Anteaterking 07/18/21 12:07:24 AM #82 | Zikten posted... Even if so, people don't have the right to insult someone just for getting married. I can't understand why people are mad about 2 strangers they don't know getting married People generally have "the right" to insult people for any reason. I think you're projecting a lot of anger on the part of the commenters in the original article. Do you think people only punch down at people out of anger? As much as it doesn't make sense to care about whether Riley Reid got married, it makes less sense to get riled up about what random people on the internet are saying about it. --- |
| Topic | Riley Reid brutally trolled after getting married as haters mock porn star job |
| Anteaterking 07/17/21 8:22:10 PM #74 | People shouldn't be anti-sex worker but I don't think the "You watch porn yet don't respect porn actresses? Hypocrisy!" line is as much of a gotcha as people think it is. --- |

Like conservative grifts usually aren't just "I don't believe everything I pretend to". They tend to either try to hawk products/services or get a huge pay out from a shadow donor to promote e.g. Koch brother viewpoints. Hasan makes all of his money from his subscribers/ad revenue/etc. --- |

We have essential workerspeople who literally save lives like surgeons or firemen who get paid dogs*** compared to people like Brady who get millions for doing something that isnt important at all . Tom Brady (and other player's) salary comes from a pool of money that's ~50% of the revenue that the NFL brings in every year. --- |

| Topic | Wealth shown to scale. |
| Anteaterking 07/11/21 3:03:00 PM #82 | Squall28 posted... How does Jeff Bezos having more money affect you personally? I think only some people would go far to say that if I made CDs by myself and they were popular enough that millions of people bought it and I became a billionaire that I'm negatively affecting people in a vacuum (ignoring silly things like people enjoying my music means that they focus less on other music). But it doesn't really work that way for most billionaires. They lobby to reduce their tax burden to lower their contributions to society. Often times they pay wages such that their workers have to rely on the government safety net to survive (essentially your taxes subsidizing cheap labor). They use their scale to undercut other companies, which in the short term is beneficial to the consumer, but in the long term leads to monopolies. They also push for policies that are beneficial to their company but harmful to society like reducing regulations, etc. It definitely does impact you, just not in the "I'm jealous!" way. --- |

| Topic | Stop making topics/posts about how you don't like age gap relationships. |
| Anteaterking 07/10/21 8:30:42 PM #4 | It's surprising how much people who "don't ask for your approval" feel the need to post about how they don't care what you think about their relationship. I'm not someone who actually cares about age gap relationships, but whenever someone posts a disapproving opinion there are people tripping over themselves to talk about how much they don't care which always comes off as defensive. Like when I see a topic that says "People shouldn't date their coworkers", I don't run in there to defend my relationship. --- |

| Anteaterking 07/08/21 5:39:02 PM #40 | Zikten posted... What is the difference between heros journey and heroines journey. There are a few differences but to be overly simplistic about it, it's "hero slays the dragon" vs "heroine negotiates with the dragon". --- |
| Topic | Some people aren't convinced that The Matrix was a trans allegory. |
| Anteaterking 07/08/21 4:52:52 PM #30 | I remember way back in 2005 someone explaining to me that the second and third Matrix movies follow the heroine's journey more than the hero's journey which is why people were so disappointed in the last one, which was before the Wachowskis had publicly transitioned so I don't think this is just "a more accepting culture now looking back and reading into things". --- |

| Topic | NSA responds to Tucker Carlson |
| Anteaterking 06/30/21 9:39:34 PM #52 | David1988 posted... Didnt think of that, I guess the NSA is more for spying on foreigners. Does that mean the NSA doesnt spy on American citizens but other agencies do? If a President or someone high up in the executive branch wanted a particular American targeted on domestic soil, they would have a far easier time tasking the domestic agencies with doing it since they would have more authorities to do so. Like I'm not going to pretend corruption doesn't exists, etc. etc. it's just that it would be easier for a corrupt president to go after Tucker or leftist activists with the FBI because it affords more plausible deniability. --- |

| Anteaterking 06/30/21 9:28:38 PM #49 | David1988 posted... what?

| Topic | Tucker Carlson claims NSA is spying on him |
| Anteaterking 06/30/21 12:11:38 AM #23 | Another_Voice posted... Unironically yes, he's a government whistleblower And you believe that this whistleblower got put on the Spy on Tucker team and they didn't realize he'd be against it? Wouldn't you think we would have heard more whistleblowers about other people over the last four years and not just someone who specifically benefits from believing he's being targeted? Also the NSA does not have a politically appointed head like e.g. CIA. The leadership is the same as it was under Trump. You think the Sec of Defense is going down to General Nakasone and saying "Hey word from the President is we need you guys to spy on Tucker so we can get his show cancelled". --- |

| Anteaterking 06/29/21 11:56:54 PM #19 | Another_Voice posted... Well apparently his source was able to confirm that they're spying on him, because he knew details of an upcoming story they were going to run, and he only could've known that information if he had access to Tucker's texts and calls. He has no evidence of this though. Also what, Tucker's source is the guy on the "Spy on Tucker" team? --- |

Joe, I just don't understand why you're so invested in Ivermectin being "real". I just can't see an explanation for someone who isn't an anti-vaxxer (which you claim you aren't) to be putting a bunch of stock in a potential quasi-cure to the point of announcing when you suspected new studies would come out, etc. --- |
