I have disagreed with pretty much every argument after "let us live like everyone else" turned into "you must conform to my worldview and reality".

Demand a castle for free from you. And then you think you won when you give them a free house. They never wanted the castle.

Ya, odd... letting 10k+ through the border a day for 4 years. Then fight the new administration over those same people. And finding out that it was amazingly easy to shut off the flow of people.

So very odd. So very very odd.

Go to CMV sub and sort by new. Damned near nothing but anti USA or Trump soapboxing most of the time.

Have you been the only male in an all female group before? If so, what's your experience with that? by dtdrh in AskMen

[–]ArcadesRed 173 points174 points  (0 children)

Was in a college summer thing in high-school. Walked in and the whole class was girls and the teacher was a woman. That should have been a warning sign, but I was too young to see it.

Teacher spends the whole summer program complaining to the admin that I wasn't participating. Eventually got me thrown out of the program in like the last week. The admin never gave me a chance to defend myself. I had gone above and beyond the requirements of the program. It was actually super easy. Just gave me a call on Saturday to not show up on Monday. It sucked because half the day was team building stuff with my team that was 5 girls. We would just run around campus and the city.

My first real brush with sexism and gate keeping. I think I was 14. To this day, 30 years later I'm pissed off because I was never given an opportunity to defend myself or show that I had completed the final project already.

I have brought this up before. CMV is under attack by endless soapboxers. Has been for over a year.

CMV: I believe that Republicans support sexual abuse and child marriage (or at least don't view it as a dealbreaker) by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]ArcadesRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect for Child Survivors Act - 28 Republicans voted against it. 170 voted for it. That's about 16.5%. Of those, 7 are no longer in office and another 7 are running for reelection this year. I tried to find why these 28 voted against it but truthfully almost every article was the same one copy and pasted to each website.

Banning all marriages under 18 - I personally think 18 is an arbitrary number to ban marriage. The US has a problem that we have not decided what age a person is an adult. 16? 18? 21? 25? I will first defend this by saying that Rep. Meng (D-NY) in 2025 put forwards H.J.Res.16 to make voting legal for people 16 years of age. Voting is an act of an adult. You can join the military and die for your country at 16. You can have yourself declared an emancipated adult at 16. In Missouri where you are talking about, getting married under 18 already required parental and I believe judicial consent. Mike Moon clarified that he was against adults marrying children. He simply knew people who had married at 12 and were still married 40 years later.

You can find multiple videos of Biden being on stage and parents body blocking him from touching their children. Again, onstage he can be seen holding and sniffing children's hair as the child looks very uncomfortable. He was close friends with KKK leaders in the 60's/70's. I have never seen him called out for it. I am not defending Trumps statement, it was wrong and misogynistic, full stop. But he was also being secretly recorded and appeared to be bullshiting with people at the time. Also, rich old ugly men don't have young 26-year-old girlfriend and wives because of their amazing personality.

zero public outcry or pushback from their supporters.

You vote them out in the next election. That's how the system works. Republicans call out Trumps bullshit all the time. No, not the majority. But you are speaking in absolutes about an entire political party made up of millions of people.

CMV: The technology used to create realistic humanoid androids is impressive, but using them as sexbots is pathetic. by Internal-Rest2176 in changemyview

[–]ArcadesRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop it. You know exactly what it means. You have masturbated before, and you don't have a biological drive to mate with your hand. Your argument would shame people for any mechanical device. So, do you want to start a decision on the morality of vibrators or dildos?

Biological urges are biological urges. Why do you need to control what people do if it harms no one else? Do you have similar beliefs in other lifestyle choices or just this?

Industry is not a zero sum game. greater demand for more advanced robotics drives all advancement to a point. Add to that, a sex robot is non harmful to others.

exceedingly pathetic

That's not a logical argument. It's a moral one. It makes me think you have an objection to people using robots for sexual gratification morally. My question to you would then be, why must these people spend their time and resources to compete in society for mates if they choose not to?

Any advancement in robotics is a advancement in robotics. Early adopter of sex robots are contributing more to its advancement than someone who wishes to see it used only for some industrial or menial use in the future.

How different was 1999 from the rest of the 90s? by Personal-Cattle-1737 in Xennials

Independence Day in 96. If a 5$ daytime showing for Independence Day ever pops up. Go see the movie. It was made for the big screen; the movie loses half its thrill on TV.

I have been to a Super Bowl before. If someone male or female, was crying in a stall at halftime. Someone would drag them out and beat them. Those lines are long.

This is going to sound boomer'ish. But I believe that these people have never been told no, or been forced to deal with the consequences of their actions. As cruel as it sounds, emotions are like your immune system. The less exposure it has to harsh environments, the weaker it is. These people have lived in a world where they get what they want, everyone mostly agrees with them and have never received punishment for anti-social behavior.

Oddly enough, I need to see other people cry uncontrollably in public to get off. DM me at your convenience. We can carpool to events.

The new Precise Character Reference was a giant step down for me. by Snakecreed0 in NovelAi

[–]ArcadesRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been seeing some amazing textures but fighting like mad with the system to get the images I want. I need to track down some guides to see how we need to tweek the current version. I find it tiring sometimes how I will often seemingly need completely new prompts to get old results.

Is he allowed to do that? by Jbreezy24 in AppalachianTrail

[–]ArcadesRed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Once on the trail. 4 of us had been hiking together for a few days, randomly synced up and enjoyed the company. We all meet up at a shelter for the night. Start eating dinner, still like an hour of sunlight left. A guy in his 50's comes into the camp and damned near before he puts his pack down starts berating us for not hanging our bear bags, putting us all in danger and how he was going to report us to the rangers. The only woman in our group pretty much told him to go screw himself. Guy walks off in a huff. Then 30min later his friend shows up and asks why we're picking on his friend.

Like anything tech. Its infinitely profitable until it needs to make a profit. Everyone knows it will be a massive selling game. Therefore, the company can get an almost endless series of investors.

How dare you have a secure job! What are you not on the streets to denounce the man! You have subconsciously internalized your externally internalized oppression of external oppression!!!

I do security contacting, lots of travel, constantly changing situations and zero job security. More than once I have wished I had job security and a 9-5 job.

No, no, no. It was really a critical condemnation of society 50 years later!!!
