Not making fun of them or anything, but I genuinely dont get it. It seems like such a basic instinct to keep propelling yourself upwards with your feet and hands. Pushing the water beneath you.

Except that its not natural to inhale and hold breath to stay afloat. I didnt know for so long that hold your breath meant Fill your chest with air.. I DONt have fat, so I always sank like a rock until then.

Its also not natural to feel yourself submerge in water and not panic. Getting used to water is a must.

Its also hard to not have your eyes open. Your natural instinct is to close your eyes when water surrounds them. Swimming blind is also not productive when trying to learn.

Just when I couldnt think CE can get more negative and whiny.

Complaining about how folks sneeze has happened.

I get concerned yall are just miserable

Any topic about dating I really always advocate for speed dating.

Its online dating but in person. It also fast forwards to the important part. Conversation.

Its like skipping the resume stage of job searching. Being able to go straight to interviews is a godsend.

But TC is correct. I see young women dating dudes 30+ because they are stable. Not willing to work with younger guys who arent already good. Dudes are always aiming for women that look great but wont value what the guy can do. Completely ignoring the women who would.

Its a matter of not being willing to see the beyond surface level traits people have. How do they act when youre sad? How do they treat your family? Do they act different when alone with you vs with their friends?

So many traits that, tbh, are much harder to change than the surface level ones. But its ignored.

Especially in an age where people encourage not talking about serious topics early. Like dating intent or kids.

How can people expect perfect things if yall aint talking about what ideal even is?

Clementine instantly comes to mind.

It's seriously not that hard to understand.

You repeating your opinion does not sway my opinion lol.

The things hard to follow is when hes airborne. So like no, its not because I dont know he makes other things rubber.

Its because the overly dramatic camera and frame second cuts to the dragon hes fighting isnt done well. I dont even get a this is so fast! impression. I get nothing from this.

What does that have to do with anything?

It has to do with you posting four times in the span of five posts about something nobody cares about.

The topic moved on. Shut up. Its not important. Youre adding nothing of value.

My sample number isn't high because I don't personally know many conservatives, but the people I do know aren't extreme. They wouldn't support pregnant women being turned away from care or not being able to receive abortions when medically necessary.

Im at the point where I genuinely thought Well, republicans arent like the mainstream politicians. The average voter isnt crazy.

But if you do vote republican youre cosigning this stuff. You can say democrats are bad. But I feel the bad things about republicans are so dramatically worse, that I can wrap my head around how you still go red.

My only theories are:

1) Republican voters dont care about things not affecting them. Or better, things they think dont affect them.

2) They are evil.

3) They arent aware of the bad things. They tune in zero news and just vote red on election day.

So either selfishness, maliciousness, or ignorance. None of the three are good lol.

Someone said earlier that democrats should be putting this shit on blast. I agree 100%. Make it abundantly clear who is doing what. These are the people upset Obama wears a beige suit. Like come the fuck on.

But it's not that hard to tell what's happening in that clip. Not at all. It's also very well animated.

Im not familiar with One Piece.

I have no fucking clue whats happening in the clip lol. Animation is good, but terrible direction.

Are we really gaslighting deoxxys instead of focusing on the actual topic?

Not everyone is as pessimistic when it comes to the lengths republicans will go.

Turns out its not pessimism. Its being realistic.

To be completely honest, its making me want to talk to people at work more. Im surrounded by conservatives and Im curious of their take.

Like, I am continuously shocked at how evil some of the things I hear are. Like, as a receptionist or whatever. I dont even think I could have the balls to just reject someone. What kinda fear are these facilities facing?

The video, in general, is good to illustrate how you can make conversations easier for people.

When you dont add opinions or questions back, you are not a good conversationist in general. As a safe rule of thumb.

If you dont want a conversation, then just say that too. In a nice way ofc.

For the same reason no one knows how to say La Croix.

Careful you don't get banned from CE altogether lol resorting to personal insults is a crutch btw.

Nah, its just gamefaq. I dont really care that much.

Just tried to get him modded back. But the poor soul blocked me lmao.

You don't have a valid argument, I won't let you get away with pretending context doesn't exist, so all you can do is fling shit. I guess I was wrong and you really are that illiterate.

Yes, people are deliberately taking that one sentence out of context. For example, the specific quote of mine that you replied to was about Hypno repeatedly claiming that cjs is "lying to people about their problems," which is explicitly false because the problem is being acknowledged.

Bro, real talk. Mod me.

Are you a fucking moron?

Daremo posted...

Because what you think it said is not what it said. You're insisting on one meaning, which was clarified in the op to not be that one meaning.

Bro, what?

Whether youre 50, 100, or 300 pounds overweight, please remember: You are not fat. You have fat.

I know that I have a health topic for those interested in weight loss, and I welcome anyone who wishes to join. However, I feel its important to share a message for anyone who might need to hear it, and everyone on the board. Whether youre 50, 100, or 300 pounds overweight, please remember: You have fat. Fat does not define you; it is not your personality, nor is it an intrinsic part of who you are. Its simply something that you carry with you. If fat were truly a part of your identity, it would imply it is permanent, but thats not the case. You can shed fat, but you cant lose what truly makes you, you. And for those trying to lose keep going. Remember the only easy day was yesterday. But the goal is worth it.

TC posts this and he wouldnt get nearly the same amount of pushback.

TheOtherMike posted...

Quote the op in its entirety and tell me what it means.

I dont care. People itt are specifically replying to his one statement.

TC said many things. Most people itt have issue with one specific comment.

So why bring up the other things nobody is addressing?

Like, you are being silly.

I think teachers should get paid more. They have long hours, and they cant get funding for what they need to effectively teach a class. They shouldnt have to deal with unruly kids either. They should be able to beat kids who don't behave. The schools should stand up for their teachers and they should have more freedom to reprimand bad apples. Otherwise, we dont give teachers enough tools to teach kids.

I dont give a shit about the overall message. The above example just slipped in an extremely disagreeable statement. Just because I disagree with one part does not mean Im addressing everything.

TC advocates lying by saying someone fat is not fat. Thats all posters are addressing. Period.

TheOtherMike posted...

Try reading the op and applying that context to the sentence "you are not fat." I refuse to believe you or anyone else on a text-based message board are this illiterate.

TC says to tell people You are not fat.

Yes or No?

TheOtherMike posted...

No, the entire premise of your argument has been that cjs is "lying" when he says people have fat rather than are fat.

Ffs, no. Its lying to say You are not fat. Which tc says verbatim.

cjsdowg posted...

If someone has an STD. Do you say they have an this illness , or do you say they are this illness.

Illness I use possessive language.

Physical traits, I do not.

But as someone else mentioned, its not 100%.

Someone can have diabetes or be diabetic. Its the same thing.

cjsdowg posted...

I literally said they are carrying fat.

You also said you are not fat.

Make it make sense.

Again, you dont an issue with the word fat. You want people to be tactful.

But thats not what the op says.

In a topic about language, you can surely admit your language could have been better.

Miquella posted...

I understand what TC is saying. There is nothing wrong with moving away from derogatory labels. I don't think it is lying to someone by telling them they're overweight or obese while still outlining how unhealthy it is. The message is there and doesn't somehow become clearer by calling the person fat.

Bro, TC is not saying Use a nicer term. Hes saying No, you are not fat at all.

cjsdowg posted...

However, I feel its important to share a message for anyone who might need to hear it, and everyone on the board. Whether youre 50, 100, or 300 pounds overweight, please remember: You are not fat. You have fat. Fat does not define you; it is not your personality, nor is it an intrinsic part of who you are.

If he was saying the former, there would be little pushback. Ffs.

cjsdowg posted...

When has calling someone fat not been insult?

Being fat and calling someone fat are different things.

Its just like how if someone passed away, Im not gonna just outright say Your husband is dead to a widow.

What your problem is with is the tact. Not the word.

Fat people know they are fat. But dont claim they are not fat. Obviously being nicer is better. But dont lie. Its patronizing.

What part of they don't have to wear it don't you understand? There's dozens of options available for them and that's one of many. They have lots of choices, and if the athlete prefers that unitard it's serving its reason as her preference.

Not only that but It turns out the unitard isn't even bad itself as Katie Moon, actually tried it on and it's only the mannequin that it looks weird on.

Tbh, this post should end the discussion.

Unless educated, and totally righteous men of CE need to be outraged on behalf of women is the angle.

cjsdowg posted...

This idea isnt about acceptance of an unhealthy state; its about recognizing that excess weight is a condition, not a character flaw. Its something a person carries, not who they are.

Nobody cares, bro.

Carrying extra weight and fat mean the same thing. Anyone with a brain knows what youre saying. Youre not doing anything kind here. Its patronizing more than anything.

People are fat. But its important to know what you are today to change it for the future.

Is there an explanation of how its enforced? And what constitutes user uploaded content?

Like, does wikipedia fall under it? And what about sites not based in the US? Does it rely on people reporting rule breakers?

It takes away all privacy from you.

Is the info going to the website owners then, I presume?

Is this the same method the porn stuff is doing?

Thanks for answering instead of being a smartass btw.

Puts age restriction on all websites with any form of user-uploaded content in a way that basically necessitates giving your ID.

Whats bad about this?

We talking amongst pokemon fans specifically or in general?

She's an artist, and an optimist. Beautiful, talented, and a lover of puzzles.

She surprised me at my place just a few days ago so we could wake up and go apartment hunting together.

Wouldn't trade her for the world.

Ohhhh, planning to move in? Big next step! Im happy for yall. To be able to surprise show and not be annoying means you really like her lol.
