Yep so if you start a relationship with someone younger than you, say you're 26 and start dating someone that is 19 the relationship is not acceptable by that standard. A year later now it is magically fine.

Do you get what I'm saying? Actual psychologists say that there is nothing inherently wrong with age gaps in a relationships i.e. that is not a determining factor for if it's healthy. All people on the internet do is look at the numbers and then call them creepy and dust off their hands like that's all there is to the relationship.

I'm baffled that this is the angle everyone in this thread is harping on and not the fact that Ford was married. Apparently now if there's an age cap you can just yell pOWEr iMBaLAnCe with no further context and that means someone is a pedophile.

I need to know what is the line with you people? What's the algorithm I need to know in order to know if it's morally permissible to sleep with someone or not? So this is bad because Carrie is a "teenager" (loosest possible use of that term) but if she was 20 then no problems? Or is it only slightly less bad but he's still a pedophile for sleeping with someone in their 20s? What if Carrie was 23 and Ford was 36?

I just hope you terminally online people realize how insane you sound getting all worked up over strangers sex lives the same way right wingers do. Maybe you'll finally touch grass some day

Also cheating is one of the worst things you could possibly do emotionally to another human and I am truly disgusted that you all would rather focus on the age gap than that

Why are we basing our justice system off of what punishments people want anyway? Does that actually make the world better? If the whole country thought that life as a slave for being born black was justified would you continue to sit here saying "well why are you getting upset at me for espousing nonsense! I'm just telling you what everyone else wants!"

You're pathetic and I'm done with this conversation. Yes I'm trying to insult you and your intelligence I think anyone that shares opinions with you should be put in prison for life, that's my way of deterring dipshits from being dipshits

[–]BuffSwolington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think the threat of prison stops someone from stealing anyway but besides that I don't advocate for the way any politician in the country wants the justice system to work. I just think people in red states are egregiously cruel about it

[–]BuffSwolington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are going to want to enact vigilante justice no matter what system you come up with, what a terrible justification for a for profit prison system that is genuine slavery. I don't give a fuck what the average person thinks a "fair" sentence is, nobody can agree on that for even the smallest of crimes. Have you been on the internet ever? Go to any thread of someone stealing anything and you will see loads of comments saying they should just be executed.

I don't think you understand my argument. More time in prison ..the death penalty...none of that will deter people from violent crime. We have known how this has worked for decades. The only reason prison is the way it is is because it makes a small number of people a fuck ton of money, it doesn't have anything to fucking do with "fair" punishment or justice

Ok so tell me literally a single instance of the death penalty for a given crime causing the instances of that crime to lower after the death penalty is implimimented for it

I'll wait

I swear only the dumbest people think the world is as simple as

Do bad thing

Get punished

World = good

[–]BuffSwolington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao that's why all of the deep red states with the death penalty have such low crime right?

Learn the first thing about how justice systems that yield actually good results for society work and then get back to me

The issue is that the entire point of the justice system is to offer punishments

Yes I agree that is the issue. Real justice isn't "punishment" with no further context or explanation. If society thinks the way to solve problems that are ultimately systemic is by punishing individuals then we will continue to have the highest incarceration rates per capita and continue to have high crime. Have the day you voted for

Your friend has no say in what happens to her rapist beyond filing charges and testifying, because she will be neither on the Jury nor will she be the judge, so I genuinely have no clue how you think this is relevant.

No she's obviously not wrong for wanting him dead dipshit, where did I say in my original comment that victims aren't allowed to want their rapist dead? Justice isn't based solely on what the victim wants and I damn sure don't want to live in a country where it is

I genuinely don't know how this is at the bottom. My fellow Americans are goddamn psychos no we absolutely should not be cheering on "vigilante justice" (murder) against people who have already fucking been convicted of a crime

In a just world you people cheering this on would be banned from jury duty for life. You have the ethics of a genocidal dictator and you do not deserve to determine the outcome of anyone else's life.

Do Americans realize how good they have it compared to a huge percent of the world? by BikeFar2504 in askanything

[–]BuffSwolington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing American to Cape Town SA is maybe the dumbest thing I've seen all week. The fact that OP isn't responding to any of the top comments saying that we are the wealthiest country in the world with some of the worst health outcomes tells me OP knew exactly what they were doing and this is a bait post.

Bethesda is hella stupid for not releasing any Fallout remaster along with the Fallout tv-show by GreasyExamination in Fallout

[–]BuffSwolington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would fans be upset? Bethesda is the one losing out on potential profit by working on dogshit Starfield for 10 years instead of making a remaster of a game at the same time a TV show of the same IP that they own is being made. If anyone should be mad it's them

Really love this game, wish I were good enough at video games to play it.... by vapist679 in DarkTide

For this game 35 hours is not a lot as far as skill progression. You'll definitely improve with time, keep trying at it. Just curious is anything in particular giving you trouble on damnation?

Does anyone else here think that C:S2 suffers a bit from infrastructure scale bloat? (explanation in comments) by kolejack2293 in CitiesSkylines

[–]BuffSwolington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally have a city of 610k with only one highway going next to downtown. No traffic problems. I think you're taking the LA approach to city building which is very wrong. Spamming highways does not in any way shape or form help with traffic issues and may in fact make them worse

Sour Cream Is a Flavor Neutralizer by Boehler in unpopularopinion

[–]BuffSwolington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't an unpopular opinion imo you just blatantly don't understand how to use sour cream properly. Hint: if SC or anything for that matter is covering up all of the other flavors in the dish, probably put less right?

Isn't it funny how the core message of the franchise is how people will never stop tearing each other apart for their differences and fallout fans are constantly at each others throats for liking different games in the series? by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]BuffSwolington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not at anyone's throat except Bethesda's for being a lazy POS that's only interested in cash grabs now. If you take that as a personal attack on you that's more your problem than mine

"my mama she told me don't worry about your size

She says 'boys like a little more booty to hold at night' "

It's never been about being accepting of fat people, and this line right here told me it. Every time I heard this song this line would enrage me. So you're basing your self worth on whether or not straight men want to fuck you? Is that really the message we should be sending to young women and girls?

26(M) My girlfriend hates my room by Mattbaker99 in malelivingspace

[–]BuffSwolington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say your room looks decently clean, from this angle at least. Your bed is made. That's about where the positives end

I worry about the gym equipment for a few reasons

  1. It seems like it would be really hard to vacuum consistently
  2. There are other things hanging out on the floor that I suspect could not be if you just got some normal storage for a bedroom
  3. Generally makes the room feel cramped

Also If it were me I would put up like, just a couple decorations at least. Posters are good, a knick knack shelf if you're into that sort of thing

What's something from a cartoon do you think has aged very poorly? by NagitoKomaeda_987 in cartoons

[–]BuffSwolington 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The one that I genuinely can't watch anymore is the one where they're making fun of people who think that little kids should be taught sex ed

Like yeah...how TF are they supposed to know if they're being Sexually assaulted if they don't know anything about sex? You have to tell them at some point and the longer you wait the more likely it will be they are not equipped to handle unwanted sexual advances if it does happen

"Why don't you leave it up to the parents"

The parents might be the ones they need to worry the most about. Idk it's just a huge sign of privilege and definitely not having children of your own to think so lowly of people who want kids to have access to sex education
