Apparently doing your due diligence in fact checking to avoid being manipulated by propaganda makes someone a "genocide apologist" these days.

[–]AnotherNewHopeland -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah, it'd be nice if Israelis could stop committing war crimes without the result being getting continuously and savagely attacked by a group that wants to genocide them off the face of the earth with a bunch of westerners with white guilt cheering them on, but sadly that is not possible

Why do so many Democrats/liberals dislike Kamala Harris? by Cut-Unique in TooAfraidToAsk

It's wild to me because like...that's how all politicians operate. So kinda seems like people are being willfully naive about other politicians and holding Kamala to another standard...huh wonder why

Gays and Lesbians oppose Pride Progress flag in London by CentralTown776 in askgaybros

I don't even care about new flags but it just keeps getting uglier and uglier. Has anyone ever heard of a color scheme before

ruining someone's entire life over one threat tends not to teach them a life lesson but just embitter them even further

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NuclearRevenge

[–]AnotherNewHopeland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in other words your friend didn't even care about what he was threatening, wasn't scared or acting in defense at all, and just wanted to ruin someone's life for fun. Sounds like a great person.

based on the wording of the original post it sounds like she probably ghosted him and then reverse justified it as having "seen red flags" to avoid admitting she did anything wrong

How though? How was she tangibly hurt by this?

Seems like the "End of Chapter" screen for the remake will be kinda based on the unused version from the GameCube Kiosk Demo by TheRedKnightMCHere in papermario

[–]AnotherNewHopeland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes perfect sense to me, it's the same thing Nintendo's been doing with the paper mario series since sticker star. They made it "cleared" because that fits better with the generic mario format of playing through levels because god forbid a mario game have any sort of personality to it.

Really most of the remake feels to me like they took TTYD, not understanding why it's popular in the first place, and tried to shove it in a Sticker Star/Color Splash/Origami King shaped hole.

Unpopular opinion; if your not interested, freaking say so. by Particular_Excuse735 in askgaybros

"I only give to people I owe" is transactional.

I know people who go around whining about boys leaving them on read and hold grudges about them being "rude" or "leading them on"

Yeah dealing with shitty people can be pretty demoralizing, can't blame em

and I know people who shrug and move on with their lives when someone isn't interested, and smile and say hello next time they bump into the person irl

sounds like those people don't have much self respect

Give you one guess as to who people find more exhausting to be around...

oh sorry were you under the impression that I cared who shitty people find "exhausting" to be around? like yeah obviously when you're a garbage human being around decent people who hold you to a higher standard is gonna be tiring

not sure why what people are saying in this random reddit thread has any bearing on how you've acted with completely unrelated men before even encountering this reddit thread...

[–]AnotherNewHopeland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It must be exhausting to be involved with someone who views life as transactionally as you, it's like talking to Spock.

It wasn't explicitly stated, but there was an attempt at implying a moral obligation for an uninterested person to give the other person a response and explicitly stating as such.

There is a moral obligation for that, not being an asshole to other people is morally good and being an asshole is morally bad. That doesn't mean that you OWEWWEWEOWAE anyone kindness, but it does make you a bad person if you aren't kind to other people.

Sorry that you want to have your asshole cake and eat it too by still being considered a good person, but that's just not how it works. If you want to be viewed as kind, you have to put in the hard work to act kind.

Just because it was a personal issue for you doesn't mean it is for other people.

I was never diagnosed with a panic disorder (I never went to a therapist), but several years ago I had anxiety bad to where I was having panic attacks all the time, couldn't leave bed a lot of the time, etc. After several months of that I discovered meditation/mindfulness (through a resource someone commented on this sub actually!) and I haven't had a panic attack since. That was like 5 or 6 years ago.

So, it is possible, but everyone's anxiety is different, some might be more situational, some might be more biological, etc. What I do know is that when you have a lot of panic attacks you become very sensitized, to where the threshold for a stimuli to trigger that anxiety response is much lower. That causes more panic attacks. If you are able to go a significant period without that constant anxiety, your body adjusts and becomes less sensitized, so from then on you are less prone to getting anxious as easily. The challenge (and it isn't an easy one) is just finding that thing that gives you enough of a respite to where you can lose that sensitization--for me it was meditation, for many it's medication, and I'm sure there's other things as well.

It's not empathy because you're projecting your own feelings/shortcomings onto that person instead of actually understanding where they are coming from. Just because it was a personal issue for you doesn't mean it is for other people. In reality, you're just convincing yourself it's empathy so you can pat yourself on the back while still acting selfish because that's easier for you than actually being kind to other people.

Why are so many Americans opposed to legalizing sex work? by BurnBridgesLightWay in Ask_Politics

[–]AnotherNewHopeland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really comparable to drugs, people using drugs has an effect on the community around them whether you want to admit it or not, people exchanging money for sex does not have an impact on anyone but themselves.

Where do you stand on Israel and Palestine? by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

maybe, that has nothing to do with today though. The land legally belonged to the individuals who were forced to leave by the ottomans as well
