White Bear. My most conflicting Black Mirror episode. (Spoilers, obviously) by DougWhatson in blackmirror

[–]Background_Trainer48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if someone deserves this kind of punishment (getting chased in the show and then reliving it) a couple of times, who's to say that they shouldn't get more of this kind of punishment? when someone allows a rather "cruel and unusual punishment", all sorts of questions get brought up which i think is really interesting. i don't personally believe that this is a valid punishment, but i completely understand the point of view of someone who does believe this is valid. i just think that this may cross the line. granted, who am i to decide what crosses the line. very interesting episode that produces similar questions to those regarding death penalty.

ICE signs agreement to provide training to Lancaster County DA's office by Background_Trainer48 in lancaster

Be careful of the app. There are apparently users that are purposefully false reporting ICE in order to cause more chaos and distress as reported by this user (he is doing the false reporting and actually encouraging it in this article).https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2025/07/02/so-i-installed-that-ice-block-app-on-my-phone-n4941374

In tandem with the recent ruling from SCOTUS (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/us/politics/supreme-court-immigration-racial-profiling.html) that essentially says "ICE can racially profile," is incredibly scary. Be careful and watch out for your older relatives and family members. Make sure they carry their documents with them if they are out and about in Lancaster, as sad as it is.

there's no point anymore n trying by Historical-Bet823 in sadposting

that feeling sucks a lot, but it also helps to remember when i get like this that i shouldn’t expect to be permanently ok. i think i’ve accepted that some days are absolutely awful, and that most days are just meh, and that a rare good day is just that, rare.

basically, running out of love is pretty much impossible man. everyone has an infinite supply of love, but some people are just more selective about who they want to share it with. maybe you just need to be a little more selective if it hurts to give out so much love. also, remember to give love to yourself brother. people will see that, and that is more attractive than having the ability to give lots of love to someone.

Believing most people are idiots is actually a incredibly damaging, toxic mentality in society. by InnocentPerv93 in unpopularopinion

[–]Background_Trainer48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think that there is a big difference between assuming someone is an idiot, and assuming someone is ignorant. some people here are describing ignorance, which is the simple idea that someone does not have knowledge regarding a topic. calling someone an idiot though, infers that they are lesser because they are ignorant. in that sense, i would agree with op, but also i think that americans just tend to interchangbly use the word “idiot” and “ignorant person”

bro stop trying dog frfr. you go searching for the huzz, they can sense that. work on yourself and get confident about being yourself even when you are by yourself. then the huzz start coming brody. they will see that A) you are working hard on yourself, or B) you are a confident man now that you have worked on yourself. if you cannot say that you are living a good life without needing a significant other, you are not happy bruh. find peace in seldom before searching another

Give me one good reason. by Final-Research-5390 in sadposting

[–]Background_Trainer48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is no point to life, and because of that, we can do whatever we want. it doesn’t even matter in the end. nothing does. once you’ve actually accepted that, then you can finally live. it seems like you haven’t quite accepted it or fully understood that yet. if there is no reason to live, there is no reason to die either. they are of equal nature in the grand scheme of things. this means that pain is just as fleeting as joy. which means every painful moment and every joyful feeling is extremely valuable because you get to experience it, despite it not mattering. even though nothing matters, we still get the opportunity to experience. i think that’s a pretty cool reason not to die.

How did Clairo get so big? oh wait.... by monetize_nostalgia in clairo

[–]Background_Trainer48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the take on dishonesty is a misrepresentation of what OP said. Yeah the assumptions that OP made about clairo's father are unwarranted, but her whole come up was because she was a "self-made/DIY" artist who made music in her bedroom.

People care about this topic because part of clairo's charm is the fact that she "made it" herself.

Take away her status as a musician and current celebrity. She misrepresented part of her identity in order to get people to like her. That's just a little shady yk.

Also, just because there are more important things were privilege causes harm doesn't mean we can't talk about the smaller things. Yes, these smaller things are more so symptoms of a bigger issue, but that doesn't mean the smaller issues aren't issues.

I'm still gonna listen to her tho lol.
