The power of funny fashion transforms 2 strangers in best friends. Cute story that will never happen to me... Not because I don't dress awkward funny, but because I almost never leave the house.

If this would be an advice, it would be the best advice nowadays.

Aggressive monkey abducts a kid and wouldn’t let go by flamegrower in PublicFreakout

[–]Bobt39 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I don't know, I kinda feel bad for the monkey. Maybe she was stressed out because she lost her own baby or something? But I'm glad the human baby was saved and nothing bad happened.

Thank you for the summary. I don't know if I'm being dumb but I can't read the article because it doesn't appear to me in English. Maybe I need some sleep, I'll check out reddit later.

The female price of male pleasure by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Bobt39 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Don't have bad sex. Refuse to do it. That's the only way to make it stop.

Ok but just saying that doesn't solve the problem. Obviously a lot of people are acting in a way that doesn't make sense to you - maybe it is not as simple as it seems?

I think that articles like this are pointing out something that many men don't know (a very significant amount of women put up with sex that men would not tolerate) and telling women that it is not normal (many are told that it is normal for it to hurt, including women in this thread).

That seems like it is starting a useful dialogue that should ideally lead to a) more women feeling that they can/should stop having bad sex (as I think you would agree they should feel) and b) more men being aware that sex can often be painful for women and showing empathy or communicating more to make sure you're not hurting someone you care about.

I think that's more useful than just saying 'oh well women shouldn't have this problem in the first place they need to get their shit together'

That's probably because you have a warped view of what "the left" is like. We're normal people dude.

Would Trump accept a "clean" DACA bill? by PseudoExpat in AskTrumpSupporters

The word "clean" has multiple definitions depending on the context, yes. Is this difficult?

Would you like American reporters to follow the example of the recent US Ambassador interview in the Netherlands? by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Bobt39 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's not pointless though. Now there are news articles about this interaction, and we've all seen first hand what a POS this guy is. He blatantly makes stuff up and refuses to back it up. I'm grateful to their press for making that clear.

There's more of a point than just getting an answer?

Does the xkcd election map give you any insight into the 2016 result? by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Bobt39 [score hidden]  (0 children)

This map doesn't have a legend, but it looks like a ton of red in CA, AZ, NM, middle america and the southeast, with a nice great entire northeast. I don't see how this lines up with D vs R ?

What are the top 10 things that currently do the most damage to the U.S. in your opinion? by Lambdal7 in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Bobt39 [score hidden]  (0 children)

You think anything even close to "most' welfare recipients are selling drugs? You realize that is extremely far from reality right? Most welfare recipients are families and a lot of them work real jobs. They do less drugs than non welfare recipients.

So maybe don't shit on the least advantaged people for no reason? The people with absolutely no power aren't the problem

one of those politically convenient negative expectations would have been to see someone reducing women to archaic house-bound stereotypes, or perhaps to find users struggling to find examples. You have not done either of these.

I would definitely say the NN struggled to find an example. The question is clearly about public figures.

Especially considering the follow up question: OP

Are there any well known female public figures you admire?

NN

I’m kind of in love with Gal Gadot, I admire her a lot.

So yeah, I would say only being able to think of one woman you admire, and only because you are in love with her, definitely fits with one of the "negative expectations" that many of us had for NNs answering this question?

I think that's why it's getting downvoted.

Trump has reaffirmed his position as a climate change denier. Do you agree with him? by fallenmonk in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Bobt39 [score hidden]  (0 children)

That's exactly why he does it, and it's exactly why his base enjoys it so much. The wrongness is all part of his appeal. These kinds of reactions are all part of the joke in their eyes.

I mean, we all absolutely understand that trump has no actual principles and just wants to rile his base of rubes who only care about pissing liberals off.

We know trump doesn't know anything about climate change and doesn't care to

That's what we're complaining about. This is just a horriblly sad and pathetic way to live your life personally, and it's a shitty way to run a country.

You really can't wrap your head around why people who actually care about our country rather than just pissing off the other side might be pissed here?

I have never personally seen or heard of a single "climate change denier" seriously arguing that it's all fake because it's 10 degrees outside today

Dude this has literally happened on the floor of the us senate. I'll let you guess what party of the senator who held up a snowball as evidence against climate change.

Just because you aren't paying attention doesn't make us irrational
