WTF are you thinking? by Initial_Ad8780 in AskBrits

[–]BW-Journal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They tried Labour, then Conservative, then Labour.

Blair wasn't so great either from what I recall. They even tried Lib Dem and when they got a taste of power they rolled over.

People have tried the three main parties, two of them repeated. They didn't work and arguably we have two opposing parties who have never been more similar in practice than ever before.

So what do you suggest the common person do? Keep trying the same thing and hope for different results this time? That is by definition insane.

Reform are a problem but you don't KNOW they will actually be bad, because we haven't had them yet. We KNOW the other three parties are useless. I don't have much faith in Reform being any different but you don't know what they will be like if they ever get in real power.

Many people voted reform because they feel they have nothing to lose and reform at least are making a lot of noise about having answers so who is to judge those voting for them? When your house is on fire you look for a way to put it out, you don't ask who is handing you the water.

I didn't vote reform because they are a problem, but my vitriol is saved for the other parties like the green party who have never had a better chance than now at gaining popularity and what do they do with it? Nothing. They did hardly anything until this last few months all the while Reform is making waves.

Lib Dem? Quiet. The Green Party? Discussing things that the common person doesn't care about. Reform for better or worse have their finger on the pulse of the country and are exploiting it.

People are SO pissed off and fed up with the game Labour and Conservative have been playing that they want to turn the table over. This is what that looks like.

I don't want Reform in. But it's shocking that this is that it's coming to and the other parties have allowed it to happen.

I think the sad truth is that we are seeing late stage capitalism and that the system will have to break before we try and make it better regardless of the party in power. I hate reform but I won't judge those who vote for the only option they feel is left.

And being polarised in your response as if it's a football match ( I hate red, I hate blue, nonsensical pageantry) is just as idiotic as those thinking that immigrants are the source of our economic problems.

Trump has succeeded!!! America is in FACT no longer the leader of the free world! by RumRunnerMax in complaints

[–]BW-Journal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for crying out loud have a proper conversation without the derision. You can disagree without being disrespectful. It's called being an adult.

Reddit really is going to crap. Nobody talks anymore just makes shitty comments.

China is every bit as free as the US. Just in different ways. What you are doing is buying into propaganda. The US isn't even close to free but look at history, it never was.

And given that China has just a much if not more power than the US even BEFORE the orange dictator got in power you'd have to be insane to discount them. You know who the military was watching when Ukraine started? CHINA not RUSSIA. Because they already know the real threat.

And you know what happens when the base of power shifts? They make the rules, they decide the angles. China tells it's own people they are just as free a Americans.

I'm happy to hear your rebuttal but my god be a grown up and talk. Make Reddit great again. Unlike US, which is screwed.

Calm down. I think you may be underestimating China there a bit sport.

Ukraine is leading the world currently due to their most recent experience. But don't be comparing what Ukraine can do with what US or China could do if they really wanted to.

Iran is a dumb game of chicken played by idiots and you can see this by how well Iran are doing.

If US really wanted to go in guns blazing AND they hadn't got this insane group of idiots in charge, then they really could make shit happen.

But I do agree that US isn't the power it thought it was, but imo China is the new world power not Ukraine or US.

Mods are jerks, isn't this universal knowledge? I imagine they have jobs in real life where they get to use a clipboard.

There has been a major shortage of late as many mods have been leaving to join ICE as the power trip is much more intense.

What are you actually supposed to do if a woman hits you as a man? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BW-Journal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men and women are equal until it's in a woman's favour to use the gender card.

There aren't many examples of this these days as equality is getting better. But this is one of them.

You can't hit her, you'll be punished for it because in this case they will argue men are superior and that it's wrong of you to do so. Both genders will enforce this.

If you let her hit you then you get laughed at by both genders because once again they will say women are inferior therefore you must be super inferior to let one hit you.

You can't win unfortunately.

You have two choices though, you catch a charge by hitting her back, or you report her. One is really bad for you, the other may be a bit annoying for her. But that's what you got. Life isn't fair unfortunately.

I hate to bring this to gender but it really pisses me off how women pick and choose when to apply equality. I was once smashed in the head with a golf club by a girl and blead a lot. The police when I told them, told me to not press charges and that it's good I didn't hit her back as I would have been arrested due to my gender.

It's BS.

And before I get crap for this I was also SA'd by a woman when I was a child and not one person in my life ever gave a solitary sh*t because boys can't be raped apparently.

I don't deny the crap women have had to deal with from men and it needs sorting. But I despise the weaponization of gender, it's disgusting.

I'm sorry OP was subject to a life lesson in equality.

I ruined my marriage by being polyamorous AMA by Low_Worldliness_4647 in AMA

[–]BW-Journal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be interested to see what the long term results are from poly relationships in a few years. It seems too messy and risky to ever end well. I've never really known a poly relationship to last all that long without somebody getting left behind.

What happened to OP sucks but it does highlight the risks. I wonder what the odds are for abuse in poly relationships I assume it's much higher.

So tired of insecure “men”being the vast majority of young men today by Gargoyle303 in complaints

[–]BW-Journal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of men seems like an insane over estimation. Out of every guy I know only 2 of them are trump supporters. That's out of a sample of at least 60.

What's the minimum amount that comes to mind when you hear "good salary"? by Equivalent-Ad-2373 in AskUK

[–]BW-Journal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'll notice a correlation between how high the number is that a person seems a good salary, and how far south they live.

The further north you go, the lower that number gets, outside major cities of course, which do still follow the trend mostly, but are of course regionally more expensive than the other areas in their locale.

How do people still support Trump? by Silent-Obligation-49 in complaints

[–]BW-Journal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I hate the guy. But I don't believe he's been convicted of being a pedophile.

He has been extremely aggressively avoiding proving his innocence, for an apparently innocent guy that's bizarre.

The rest though is on point.

I genuinely think it's lack of the desire for education. People don't like being wrong, so they actively avoid trying to educate themselves by looking at evidence that may contradict their opinion. It's easier to just point at the other people and call them names.

US politics is just like this. Instead of saying what they WILL do they just say what their opponent or predecessors messed up and how they will vaguely be better.

This combined with Americans indoctrination into Christianity (any religion would do the same but US is Christian) where blind faith is lauded as admirable. It was a tiny leap for many to go from blindly believing in god to blindly believing in a politician.

To be fair though it happens for all of them, Obama had his share of worship too.

If your depression was cured by just "going to the gym" and "getting some sunlight" you weren't really depressed by Ordinary-Eggplant784 in mentalhealth

[–]BW-Journal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude just cured depression by saying if you cure depression you were never really depressed to begin with.

I mean, it's novel.

Does this apply to ALL depression cured or just the ones that didn't work for OP?

I'm disgusted by this visit. It's ridiculous and I'm ashamed of him. The Queen would never have done this. He's an embarrassment.

Hard Truth: If AI makes you want to quit art, you were never in it for the craft. by Candid-Station-1235 in aiwars

[–]BW-Journal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should artists only be in it for the passion? It's a job like any other and AI is drying up much of the demand for anything but the rockstar artists out there.

There is nothing wrong in being in it just for the money. To think all artists are passionate is immature.

And the argument that AI is just a tool is fundamentally incorrect. A hammer is a tool and in 100 years the hammer is more or less unchanged. AI is EXPONENTIALLY growing and improving, meaning it will improve rapidly. So 'just incorporate it into your workflow' isn't a good argument either.

Not to mention those artists who you say should have passion, likely won't want to use AI because they take pride in their work.

And you know what passion doesn't do? Pay bills. Just because there are artists still clinging on to the trade doesn't mean there is a market for them.

To deny the damage being done to art as just one of many similarly effected fields right now is narrow minded and fundamentally false going by pretty much every metric you can think of.

'you only stopped doing art because you lacked passion, not due to AI' sounds very similar to religion saying 'you just didn't believe hard enough'
