Why is it when you like a guy you don't text him/contact him? Is it fear of rejection or something?

Not even in a first move scenario. You've already established something. Why do so many women just sit there and never send a message? WIth guys, If we haven't sent a message it's probably because we were busy or we don't like you. We don't play games avoiding messages.

Example. You go on a date with a guy, things go well. So you wait for him to contact you. You don't think about maybe reaching out yourself.

Real life example: I figured this girl wasn't into me because she had been slow to text back and I noticed her instagram had updated. Whatever, so I left it. Then a few weeks later I saw it was her birthday and said "Happy Birthday". Then she writes "I was wondering if you were going to talk to me again".

Wtf is up with that?

So like a month ago they removed the profile views function. Now you can't tell if someone visited your profile. Their justification was they wanted people to have more "meaningful" interactions with one another. So now you're seeing less potential options than before.

And just today or yesterday they've made it so anyone you "liked" no longer appears in your search function. I clicked on the browse page today (the page that shows you everyone in your search parameters basically) and there were...3 profiles.

So now I have no one to talk to. There's literally nothing to do. I can't find all the people I maybe liked but didn't talk to. The only way I'll ever be able to get in touch with those people is if they like me back, which is a function women don't use.

Okay. So after years of hearing this "brony" stuff mentioned I'm finally going to ask. Maybe it was these pics that did it.
What is this? I get that it's grown men being fans of a little girl's cartoon to a really creepy degree. But why?

That's not what it is.

Basically, you know how older people are fully capable of liking "kids" cartoons? But there's less stigma about it if the cartoon is supposedly specifically for boys, like Adventure Time?

Well, Lauren Faust basically set out to make a traditionally "girly" cartoon, but with the notion that such a cartoon doesn't have to be basically, bad. And only appealing to little girls who have no sense of anything so will just watch the bright and pretty colors. She wanted to make a good enjoyable cartoon anyone could like. That was the intent and driving force behind the show.

And then people watched it, and found it to be surprisingly fun and good, and the absurdity of a MLP cartoon actually being good and well written drew a lot more people to check it out, usually out of skepticism. And a lot more fans came to be as a result.

It's nothing complicated. It's literally the creator of the show going, "A cartoon about subject matter traditionally being "girly" doesn't have to be vapid stupid garbage. It can be a just generally good cartoon" and then it was and people who aren't so stuffy and insecure that they can enjoy cartoons still despite their age liked it.

Which also means, every single time someone goes "hurr grown men like a cartoon for little girls" that's objectively false. That's NOT what the cartoon was, it was literally made with the conscious intent for it to be exactly not that.

Nothing about nationalism, totalitarianism, or tyranny disqualifies one from being leftist. While true they opposed Leninism/Bolshevism, it's false to say they opposed socialism. They didn't. They called themselves socialists and their government was arranged to be a planned collectivist economy with heavy influence over private industry, much like most socialist countries have. Because fascism is just a derivative of socialism.

They absolutely opposed socialism. From Richard J Evans:

True, as some have pointed out, its rhetoric was frequently egalitarian, it stressed the need to put common needs above the needs of the individual, and it often declared itself opposed to big business and international finance capital. Famously, too, anti-Semitism was once declared to be the socialism of fools. But from the very beginning, Hitler declared himself implacably opposed to Social Democracy and, initially to a much smaller extent, Communism: after all, the November traitors who had signed the Armistice and later the Treaty of Versailles were not Communists at all, but the Social Democrats.


Nazis took the leftist label for tactical reasons. Joachim Fest:
And whatever premises the party may have started with, by 1930 Hitlers party was socialist only to take advantage of the emotional value of the word, and a workers party in order to lure the most energetic social force. As with Hitlers protestations of belief in tradition, in conservative values, or in Christianity, the socialist slogans were merely movable ideological props to serve as camouflage and confuse the enemy.

Left wing nationalism typically rejects ethno nationalism and fascism. Right wing nationalism doesn't. And how do we assess the basis for right wing politics? Right-wing politics hold that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable, natural, normal or desirable.

And also they ran a collectivist government which seized the means of production from private owners and rallied workers to fight against imperialist capitalist nations.

So they are clearly heavily influenced by socialism, and all the fascist thinkers and politicians were either Marxists or socialists.

But somehow, they're not left-wing.

The Nazis gained power by promising voters to alleviate a German economy mired in depression while also restoring German cultural values, reverse the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, turn back the perceived threat of a Communist uprising, put the German people back to work, and restore Germany to its 'rightful position' as a world power,". This all from the holocaust museum.

The key word here is not socialism, it's "national". They opposed everything traditionally socialism and instead preached a fundamentally undemocratic nationalistic agenda. Privileges for aryans, concentration camps for others.

You're right in one sense. The nazis weren't traditionally Tight, and some of the things were influenced by socialist politics. This ultimately came down to lip service on the way to totalitarian power.

Huh, I never thought about it before but phrasing it that way makes it a lot easier to understand the reasoning. During my childhood everyone used to use the R-word as an insult, and while we as children weren't thinking "we are conflating your stupidity with an actual mental disability", more like "this is just another word that means dumb", I can see the harm it could have done to people with that disability by making it essentially a synonym for stupidity. And now I guess autism is used the same way, maybe not deliberately maliciously, but still causing problems due to the conflation.

Yeah that makes perfect sense to me, thanks

Exactly. "Autistic" is used (on the internet especially) as a slang anytime someone is awkward or lacks self awareness in social situations. You can imagine how that's damaging to people who legitimately have a brain wired differently and can't help it.

I swear I never heard of it before in my life until about two years ago, and since then everyone keeps talking about it.

Why is it getting so much attention? It's just sorta weird that it becomes so mainstream out of nowhere. You don't hear about other diseases nearly this much. Hell, even gamefaqs is giving me a warning before posting this topic not to use it in a non-clinical matter and not to use it as an insult (which I am in no way doing, this topic is an honest non-insulting attempt at getting information), where if I were to say "get cancer, jerkwad" nobody would bat an eye about it despite the fact that I'm using another disease in a derogative manner and gamefaqs sure as hell isn't warning me about using the word cancer.

You could certainly be modded for saying "get cancer, jerkwad". 100%.

Autism is getting a lot of attention because it's a fairly new condition in terms of being diagnosed effectively. And it's incredibly prevalent.

Consider what would happen if you made jokes about someone having an intellectual disability (using the R-word), or down syndrome, or really any kind of disability. You're conflating stupidity with an actual mental disability and that's what makes it a problem.

Yes, it certainly is. What I don't understand is this bullshit claim that hard work is a "white ideology." Take white people out of it entirely: if you have two black people who are equal, the one who works harder will do better than the one he doesn't. Is he going to be able to rival someone like Donald Trump due to his hard work? No, most likely not. But he's going to do relatively better, and there is nothing "white" about that reality.

The claim that "hard work is a white ideology" is contextual, it's talking about people who dismiss privilege with the counter argument "eh, if you work hard race doesn't matter". If you work hard you can be successful but race will still play a part in how you got there, that's what the OP is saying.

It's amazing to me that you can admit that a black person won't do as well as donald trump but then follow up that sentence with "but he's doing well so what's the problem?".

White people didn't get all the wealth in American society by some incredible coincidence. It's not some accident or false correlation that the incredibly vast majority of wealth is held by ancient white families that continue to pass it down within exclusive white circles, while black society somehow got almost zero of that wealth or power. Slavery was hundreds of years ago but the rolling effects on social privilege continue. Donnie's wealth legacy goes back to a time when black people were property and white people owned them. His family hoarded all that wealth and the fortune increased exponentially. Donnie was born on 3rd base and thinks that hitting a home run means he's a harder working baseball player than anyone else.

Once again and a million times, white privilege has never suggested that "all white people are better off than all black people and that black people can never do as well as any white person." White privilege is simply "because of the world we live in and the way it was setup, black people have certain kinds of obstacles to face that white people don't."

Hard work is obviously not the only factor, but all else being equal, someone who works hard will outperform someone who doesn't. And even when all things are not equal, hard work can give someone an advantage over others who have privileges or advantages that they don't.

Oh so you do understand the subject matter. This whole time you've been saying things like you don't get it.

Nobody is saying hard work counts for nothing. They're saying that "all things are not equal".

Being able to overcome privilege or class doesn't mean that privilege and class doesn't exist. Surely that's pretty simple to understand.
