Men stastically perform the most rapes, but most people would rightfully have a conniption if I said "Men are the rapiest group in America." That's not an accurate conclusion and only serves to sow problems.

Lmao, thats a terrible example.

People right now have no problem painting men in general with a broad brush as being dangerous and prone to violence such as rape. For fucks sake, we have companies embracing the belief of toxic masculinity and how men approaching women is creepy and feminist sites will laugh at your male tears and meme about not all men, if you try to bring up this double standard.

it's about the insane idea of putting work above everything else, which is destroying US society.

Maybe, but perhaps thats the price that must be paid to achieve greatness in competitive fields. Its common for top tier athletes, musicians and other competitors to devote pretty much their entire lives, at least their formative years, to chasing excellence. Businesses and even countries arent that different.

Giving up those airbases to the taliban means a greatly reduce air presence.

I still cant believe how much of an epic fuck up that was.

Yeah, I totally get the need to exit, but pulling the military first and stranding other Americans and allies there, plus trusting or hoping the Taliban wouldnt immediately push forward is hard to wrap my head around. Seeing them conduct a parade with US assets was surreal.

I suggest you go back and rewatch it. I thought that as well until I just did. Andrew's Peter starts off stuttering and being awkward when girls talk to him, and getting bullied for being a wierd loner. He doesn't have any friends, unlike Tobey who had Harry. He's that kid in class who never talks to anyone and everyone thinks is weird.

Oh, Im aware they tried to portray Garfield as an awkward loner nerd. I am saying it didnt work. The whole movie Im chuckling and thinking this dude would be popular in any high school and have three girlfriends inside of a week.

Andrew Garfield.

His movies had some really wack moments, and almost everything about ASM2 sucked, but he really nailed being the character.

I dont get that all. His Peter was too cool and brooding.

Tobey was kinda old to play a high school student, but at least it was believable that hed be bullied for sure. And yeah, his Spidey wasnt as likable as he should have been, but he was the best at portraying the dilemma of not wanting to be a hero and yet sacrificing anyway because of the great responsibility theme.

Does anyone who thinks of this sort of thing go out of their way to imagine the women are not konsenting? The reason these kinda deals on misogyny bore me is how people don't get that me talking to the guys about some celebrity I'd like to fuck, when we all know she'd never realistically choose me is not me implying I want to rape said celebrity.

Eh, TC did not specify much in the original post. No sense in assuming the details when we know a lot of people are into some outrageous kinks.

If you were never a fan of the previous shows, then youll probably be Ok with it. Its not bad. On the other hand, some people had a problem with the main character Teela being generally unlikable. I mean is it important that you root for the main character or do you focus on plot and other things?

Yeah, Im not vegan, but I agree with your points. I donate to charity fairly often and friends push back on that sometimes, so I guess the analogy with going vegan is apt.

He also said something in response to "Your comedy kills!" to "****** die every day!" as if that makes it right?

And also erasing black trans-individuals.

Does Chapelles comedy, or really any comedians, actually kill directly or indirectly?

I've been hearing that stated more frequently lately, even here on CE. But its always said like a fact, just with no concrete evidence. It reminds me of good ol John Jack Thompsons crusade against video games because allegedly they cause school shootings.

My point is him having that power, regardless of consequences, but by virtue of being able to decide which placement thus which outcome negates free will. Because we ended up in a state he chose by his first decision on how he created us, when, where, how, and why.

I believe you will not find many, if any, Christians who will accept your argument against free will because then they would have to accept that their god allowed people to be damned not because of their own actions, but because of their gods. Core to Christianity is the belief that the most important thing you can do in this material life is to willingly submit to god. This is why, for example, youll hear even professional apologists emphasize that you must accept Christ as your savior and that their god does not send people to hell. You send yourself.

Your argument directly stands in opposition to that.

I don't think anyone is losing sleep over what you are or aren't going to take seriously when you're throwing a hissy fit about someone confronting their GF's mom over them calling her a slut. You post like someone who doesn't have any friends anyway and isn't equipped to discuss any of this

Lol, dude, youre perpetually mad about the world so Im surprised you took the time to put down the muh oppression sign and join the conversation.

If you think Im wrong about this one topic, go and ask random adults at your mall or park about what they do if some kid started criticizing them in their home about being a bad parent and what they can or cant say. Bonus points if you try this outside the US or Canada and dont get laughed at for even bringing up the question.

Yes, it is the adult thing to do because we are here talking about it. Thats what adults do. Hes not waiting outside her house and jumping out of the bushes when she gets off work.

Some of you guys are just trying to normalize this ghosting nonsense. And that dude saying these people have horror stories. If its traumatizing Im pretty god damn sure they wouldnt still be on social media dating apps looking for hookups.

You consider verbal and emotional abuse acceptable "rules of the house"?

Everyone has their own standard for what is and isnt acceptable, especially in their own home. This is why we can debate that here on the net for 500 posts, but we are not going to go to someone elses home and confront them about it. Clearly the girlfriend finally reached her limit and is moving out, so good for here. Did she, a twenty-something adult, need TC to escalate the situation by wedging himself in the middle of this family drama, like some self appointed white knight? Is he paying the mortgage or is an authorized representative of the government sent to check that nobodys being locked in the basement?

The answers are no, btw.

This does bring up an interesting question.

I accept that conquered and stolen mean the same thing in this regard, as in the land was forcibly taken. To even attempt to correct that would mean returning the land to whichever tribe previously held it. Are there homeowners here who would give that land back? Barring a few exceptions, my guess is almost nobody would do that or they would demand payment for it, which would be weird because they shouldnt have had it in the first place.

Because according to the bible, God created the perfect world and made one rule to follow, and they broke that one rule so sin cursed the earth and brought disease, natural disasters, etc into the world.

God doesn't interfere with human sins committed because that would interfere with free will. The idea is that God wanted his creations to decide to make the right decisions. Rather then creating perfect robots

Yeah, none of that makes sense though because Adam and Eve would not have understood the situation and its potential consequences until after eating the fruit, which then would have given them knowledge. Their god though would absolutely have known how dangerous it was to place that landmine of a tree where it was accessible to essentially children. Besides, couldn't a loving god just, you know, forgive them?

Even if we accept this beings existence, it makes more sense to accept that it is uncaring at best or sadistic at worst.

I dont get how anyone can read the moms text rant in post #15 and think that this is a rational human being who has any justification for acting the way she does.

Dont assume that I think highly of the mothers actions. But thats missing the point either way. This is her house and it was a verbal family issue for them to resolve. TC is not family. Hes just some boyfriend like every other boyfriend around the world, trying to get in the daughter pants. He hasnt paid his dues yet, so he has zero leeway. If youre going to show up at someones home and talk shit like he did, you better be prepared to get thrown out figuratively and possibly literally. I dont even have any guy friends who wouldnt have done that to TC the moment he opened his mouth, and I dont know any women who wouldnt expect their spouse to step up and do that.

I told her that she shouldnt be calling both her daughters sluts. She then went off on me saying that I have no right to tell her how to parent. I told her she was embarrassing herself and how she should be ashamed. My gfs older sister was present in the room as this was happening and she agreed and backed me up.

You did this in her home? And youre just a boyfriend?

Where was her husband and why didnt he throw your ass out of the house?

So many questions.

According to who

According to us.

You know, the people who have to live and struggle through our lives and prefer not to be burdened with the stress of fearing eternal punishment for the finite crime of not bowing before some entity that supposedly created everything but is also super concerned about whether we worship it or not. Apparently god is a cosmic Only Fans model with bipolar disorder and is Ok with torturing its non subscribers.

This is of course setting aside the fact that we havent even proved that this god, or really any gods, even exist.

In reality, we have about as much chance of apprehending and comprehending a super-galactic intelligence as goldfish have of understanding the complexities of the human world on the other side of the glass wall of their bowl.

Its worse than that because that example presupposes that there is even a glass bowl designed to house the fish. It could be that the fish simply lives in a natural body of water, with no designer needed at all.

I'd imagine he'd whip out his phone for a photo of the license plate. But he might have gloves on and need to take that off to access his smartphone, need a steady aim and be within range to take shot where the letters are legible.

Or

You could avoid the risk of crashing on your bike by following the suspect to their destination, taking your sweet time writing down their license plate and taking as many non-blurry photos of their now stationary vehicle, and even eat a sandwich as you draw a detailed artistic representation of the suspect waving their gun at you.
