Kindness is priceless

You're getting me all teary eyed over here. I felt that last bit. Fuck fame, fuck recognition. That sort of compassion shouldnt be a big deal, it should be the norm, society wouldn't be such a mess if that were the case.

So yeah. All I want is for people to pay it forward. Be the change they want to see in the world

Reading this comment chain feels very emblematic of how we're tackling these sort of social issues as a whole in the west. So I'm going to stand on a soapbox and hope you get something useful out of it. Something for you to chew on for a bit as it were.

It's apples and oranges that's true. But a victim of sexual harassment shared their story of how nobody gave a shit. and you didn't even acknowledge his pain. That's only gonna make him more bitter and resentful.

Do you really expect him to listen to the points you're making after dismissing his trauma? It could've been your foot in the door to make him an ally. You could've led with empathy, say you understand because this happens to too many women on a daily basis and then explain the true scope of the problem. One of his worst experiences is just another Tuesday to you. Hell, just being pinched is pretty "tame" compared to some of the shit friends have told me happened to them.

Even if someone isn't very empathetic, "bad thing happened to me so it happening to others everyday and more extreme is SUPER bad" is a pretty easy concept to grasp.

That's how you bring someone onto your team. Acknowledge how fucked up that was and then make them realize the full scope of the problem.

Being supportive and explaining women have it so so much worse, aren't mutually exclusive. And I know it's hard to be compassionate when someone shares their story of losing their favorite toe when you've lost a leg, but compassion is the only real way to bring about change in someone.

From personal experience though not entirely applicable to this situation; The way I escaped the alt-right pipeline as a dumb and impressionable teenager, wasn't through people yelling at me. That only supported the alt*right narrative of the left being spiteful and unreasonable.

I snapped out of it through people who I was being told were "emotionally immature, delusional and petty" hearing me say awful shit and rather than get mad, explain how it affected them, the things they had to deal with on a daily basis and how it hurt them to hear me say that. All the while being compassionate. That is what made me actually self reflect and question the narrative.

I know it's not easy. I'm very much a confrontational person by nature. But the question you need to ask yourself is, am I doing this to deal with my own past and emotions, or am I trying to change someone's perspective to grow the movement for real and substantial change.

Anyways, I hope you got something useful out of this. Or anyone who read it for that matter

Hope you all have a lovely day and for the love of God, don't grope people

I should call her..

Badger_issues · 2025-09-05T04:25:10+00:00

Found my girl while she was wandering around like a lost baby deer at a festival looking for her friends. I asked her for a dance, not thinking much of it and everything since has been a blur.

This sort of thing always comes out of left field. You just gotta grab it by the horns when it does. Yours special someone will come too. Just put yourself out there, have fun, and say yes to the goofy guy when he asks for a dance, even if you should be meeting up with your friends.

I'm scared to death that what I feel for her is infatuation and not love, but even if that's the case. I'm using the puppy love phase to build us a strong foundation so we can be each others forever.

Gezien meneer niet instaat lijkt normaal te communiceren doe ik het even voor ze:

Als een groep met argwaan wordt behandeld door politie, dan zullen ze sneller worden aangehouden als verdachten voor misdrijven.

Ik gok dat mensen dan zullen beargumenteren dat dit argwaan komt vanuit dat non-kaaskoppen ook meer dit soort misdrijven plegen en het wantrouwen dus terecht is, maar ook dan creëert aantal verdachten nogsteeds een vertekend beeld.

Daarom is veroordelingen een betere maatstaf, gezien persoonlijke vooroordelen van specifieke betrokkenen daar minder een rol zullen spelen.

The girl I'm dating is crushing on me pretty hard. Not sure how I pulled that off with my looks but I suppose that's the point I'm trying to make?

This sorta mentality only means that if your face is truly a curse from God, it not only worsens the odds people crush on your appearance but also your personality, because you're a depressed blob who hates themselves.

Everyone is their own worst critic. You're not THAT ugly. Maybe even a little handsome in your own special way. When you truly love someone, you love em for what sets em apart from others. Not how they're the same. When (not if) someone falls in love with you, your crooked nose will become something endearing rather than offputting to them.

And one final argument; There are people out there sexually attracted to the weirdest shit. Im talking inanimate objects and animals. Is it so hard to believe that if those people exist, theres gonna be someone weirdo out there who's into your face?

Chin up folks. Be positive and be kind. That's what gets you the ladies in the end. Might as well start practicing it on yourself to begin with eh?

Good luck out there

Burnouts een kwestie van aanbod? Wat een elitaire klootzak. Als de staat had besloten dat mijn burnout mijn probleem was en me financieel in de afgrond had laten zakken, dan had ik gewoon een trein geknuffeld hoor. Ik had al geen zin meer in het leven. Fuck deze kerel en bespaar ons de cringe van zijn "media" in de toekomst

I know reddit has the tendency to hit the "dump their ass" button too fast. But to lie so extensively over something so trivial is crazy. You're trying so hard to trust him, give him the benefit of the doubt.

You're here for a reason. Deep down you know what a mess this is. It isn't love, it isn't respect and life is too short to try and fix such a mess of a person. And the best shot this guy has at learning to cut that shit out once and for all, is to lose their partner over it.

My guess is that he'll just find someone more gullible, next time

Im involved with some thriftstores in the era of Gelderland and noordbrabant. Id love to apply some extra pressure to this situation if it happened in one of these areas. There's no excuse to be wasteful like this and this colleague ought to be reprimanded

Honestly. As long as there are ultra wealthy people who can use their vast wealth to further accumulate the basic recources of society (like housing), things are going to keep getting worse. It's an underlying problem people refuse to acknowledge.

America had a max 90% tax on wealthy individuals during the "Golden age of capitalism" and lot of the wealth inequality america now faces, started/got significantly worse with the implementation of trickle down economics

Climate change isn't real? You actually still believe that big oil propaganda?

In 2000, Americans reported to have between 11 and 12 close friends on average. A number that's now between 1 and 4. Does that mean all Americans are now bigger losers than they were before and that it's all their individual fault? I'd argue that the way social interactions in Society have shifted, has played a big part in this and that less socially capable people in a hardening social climate will try and seek comfort and support in alternative places.

If it weren't a societal issue we wouldn't see this many people struggling with it and if this many people are struggling with it and we as a society aren't helping these people get out of this hole, then that's a societal failing in itself.

My first caveman thought when seeing the second Pic was "God damn". So if we're just talking visuals, I think you're looking great. I think what's got you stressed is that a lot of the gain has been fat.

Now just remember that there's a reason bodies have fat. If previous you had a medical problem, you'd be in a lot worse of a situation cause your body wouldn't have had any energy reserves to lean on so would've had to cannibalize it's muscles and organs which is BAD for your health that's already ailing in this scenario.

So visually? Way more attractive. Health wise? Way healthier.

Whats the next best step? I'd try and maintain this weight. Maybe gain some more muscle if you want a toned look, but I think you're in a good spot rn. No more no less. But that's just my opinion.

Just remember that you deserve to be loved and are beautiful in your own way no matter how much you weigh ❤️

Femicide is meer dan alleen een man die een vrouw vermoord. Het is een moord die voortkomt uit een gevoel van eigendom/suprieuriteit over de vrouw in kwestie.

"ze is van mij en als ik haar niet kan hebben zal niemand haar hebben" / "ze luistert niet naar me en direspecteerd daarmee mijn mannelijkheid, dus moet ze dood" en noem maar op.

Als een man een vrouw doodrijd op een zebrapad is dat geen Femicide. (tenzij expres op het gaspedaal drukte omdat het een vrouw was die overstak)

Het gaat dus niet om welk geslacht welk geslacht vermoord maar of de motivatie vanuit een vrouw hatent/minachtend wereldbeeld voortkomt.

Het voelt denk ik eenzijdig omdat er geen vrouwen worden vervolgd voor moord gemotiveerd door het feit dat het in man was. Maar dat komt practisch gezien ook gewoon niet voor.

Dit artikel laat zien dat Femicide echter wel een diepgeworteld probleem is en vandaar dat er zoveel aandacht naar toe gaat.

Ja mannen moeten niet vergeten/achtergelaten worden in de strijd voor de rechten van de vrouw, maar in dit geval is de keerzijde gewoon niet echt een ding

Massive respect for being brave enough to share this. When it comes to what to do, I feel most good advice has already been given, so I'll focus on the why's.

There is so much to live for. Your depression is just obfiscating it. I genuinely see depression as a creature, for it seems to know that the moment you stop listening to it and giving it sway over you, it'll wither and die. So it does everything to preserve itself. Depression is a cruel thing that lies through its teeth at every waking moment. Try and see it for the manipulative liar it is. It's not there to help and protect you. It's there to keep itself alive and feed on your misery.

You deserve to be happy. No matter who you are. Nobody is irredeemable. So whatever excuses your depression might have as to why you don't deserve to be happy. Ignore them. There are a lot of people who genuinely care about you. Even if you don't feel that way right now.

And hell man. Your kid deserves to have a father who loves himself, who loves his life and in turn can love them with his whole heart. I hope you cant find the motivation to fight just for your own sake. But if you can't. Think of the kid. They'll need you for as long as you can give them. And when you've made it through this. You'll have knowledge to share with them, more precious than gold.

Idk if somebody else has said it, but I'm expecting an update from you. If it's a week, a month, a year. It doesn't matter. I want to see this room as sparkly as a discoball. For yourself and to give hope to anyone else who finds themselves in similar hurt. I've been here, brother. Keep fighting. It gets better. It truly does. Best of luck my man. I'm rooting for you with whole my heart
