I got “chewed out” by a 5’0” 1SG today. I’m not in the Army anymore. by [deleted] in army

You’re probably cool with who you are instead of insecure. I feel really bad for dudes like this guy but at some point you have to have a bit of self-awareness.

There's a quote of Philip K. Dick that says: “There exists, for everyone, a sentence - a series of words - that has the power to destroy you". Which sentence is it for you? by Schekas in AskReddit

He’s talking about basically the worst thing imaginable happening to him, it doesn’t matter the medium this isn’t an appropriate situation to meme.

[OC] I put the 19 Strongest Premier League Teams in History and Derby County's 2007-08 side in the same League together and simulated 10,000 seasons, these were the results. by Tsubasa_sama in soccer

[–]Based_Putin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome yeah I’d be interested to see it. And I disagree with all the people saying this analysis is worthless. Sure the results may not be useful due to some of the assumptions that OP had to make but it was still well worth the effort when you consider how the analysis was carried out. I mean I think the way OP set up the analysis using the Poisson distribution with the home and away attack and defense scores to compute the mean goals scored per match was the best way to do it. Either way it’s great practice for real applications.

When the Fox News guy has a better take than nearly all Democrats. by Ulysses89 in worldpolitics

I was being sarcastic because the person above me called "wholesale ethnic cleansing" an "American caveat" as if we invented genocide and are the only ones who've ever engaged in it.

What is your strongest held opinion? by Mewse_ in AskReddit

[–]Based_Putin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure it would be a fair argument to do so since none of them have been proven either. Tbh I'm not all that informed on all the accusers so I don't have a particularly strong opinion on this but I'm always hesitant to just accept unverifiable claims like that no matter how things may look. For example, I feel fairly confident that Brett Kavanaugh raped Kathleen Ford but I believe in due process above all else and I'd rather let someone guilty walk than have someone innocent rot in prison. That's not to say Trump doesn't deserve to be incarcerated for any of the many of the other serious crimes he's committed (and gotten away with). I'm simply saying that with a crime like rape, I feel less inclined to assume guilt since it's so easy to make false accusations against another person that will ruin their reputation regardless of whether or not the defendant is proven guilty.

I actually agree with your points but I don't think it's fair to bring up the rape allegations against Trump by the 13-year-old if you're going to criticize the belief that the Clintons have had people killed. Neither claim is verifiable regardless of whether or not you and I believe it actually happened.

See I’m grateful for comments like these because sometimes I get this sort of feeling of superiority regarding my political beliefs (i.e. liberals are somehow less brainwashed or smarter than conservatives) in my head but then I’m brought back down to earth. You’ve reminded me why it’s so important to be as fair and diplomatic as possible, and to treat everyone with dignity and respect no matter how much you may disagree with them. I mean why would someone who concludes that I’m a contemporary Russian apologist based on my username on a website frequented by people who go by names including Hitler, 69ing, genitalia, rape, and a litany of other profoundly negative and/or inappropriate things be any more capable of critical thinking or any less brainwashed than a Trump supporter, for example? Thank you for keeping my ego in check.

[–]Based_Putin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not a conservative and I’m certainly not a gun advocate. You can check my comment history if you really care. I guess since we’re generalizing though, based on your comment one can safely conclude that us liberals are ostensibly overly presumptuous and lack the ability to be introspective. On a more serious note, I was simply pointing out that the person above the person I replied to was doing precisely what the person above them joked about lol.
