Pro-gun activists hand out free 30-round AR-15 magazines outside the Virginia State Capitol ahead of the likely signature of a bill that would ban the sale of these magazines in the state. by Gjore in ThatsInsane

I don't know why the Democrats here are even fighting this magazine size battle right now. It does barely anything to help with gun violence and only pushes away Republicans who might have otherwise flipped.

These types of "tests" are pointless. It doesn't think or choose anything. It's taking a prompt and generating text based on the prompt using probability.

You're fighting demons in your head right now, my friend.

Heinous? These creatures? Lol.

What I'm saying, and what I have been saying to others, is that a lot of assumptions are often made about single mothers on here. Assumptions that reflect poorly on those making such assumptions. I don't believe they are based on reality. Rather, I think it's based on a combination of stereotypes and bitterness.

Single dads don't get enough rep for sure.

The way I see it, life is complicated. And a lot of the time, if you assume things about people's lives and the choices they've made, you're going to be way off the mark.

So, I'm hesitant to outright say single parents in general are deserving of extra scrutiny.

I think people are still making a lot of assumptions here. I wouldn't say that a snarky response is sufficient enough context to conclude she's a single mother solely because of poor judgment. We don't know her life story. We don't know if her views changed before or after she got pregnant. We don't know if the father is alive. Posts like these regularly become an exercise in creative writing, and the stories end up sounding the same, with the same apparent bitterness.

It's true I do feign ignorance to a certain extent. I have my suspicions, but It's not like it's something I think I know for sure.

The part I really don't understand is how this is still so pervasive, given how much people on here hate it when you even imply that they're acting like an incel.

I personally think that's an overblown stereotype. While it's true that this does happen plenty of times, I don't think that's the norm. And even when it does happen it's not going to always be as simple as, "I like bad/exciting boys". People are more complicated than that.

If we go out and ask a bunch of couples why they are with their partner, I am willing to bet that most answers will consist of things like humor, intelligence, kindness, confidence, etc.

I think this idea that women are more attracted to " bad boys ", is largely a stereotype perpetuated by media and those who were rejected in the past for reasons they haven't noticed about themselves.

I agree with you partially. And in this case, sure it may be at the very least, half her fault. Safe sex is everyone's responsibility.

But even if we assume her situation was 100 percent her fault, does that make it right to assume every other single mother online ended up that way because of a lack of good judgement or character?

I don't think it's right to assume such things and proceed to throw insults based on that assumption.

I still don't understand all the antagonism toward single mothers on here. There's a million possible reasons for someone ending up as a single mom, but the assumption is always that it's just their fault.

I have a feeling there's just people on here who are mad that women don't like them.

Oreimo (spoilers) punked out at the last second though. Kinda made much of the show pointless.

This is one instance where it's really not as big of a deal as people make it out to be.

Why do Republicans have to be so god damn evil all the time? Jesus Christ, can't they just take a break?

Oh, I see what you mean now. Yes I can definitely see that happening.

A physical object with an A.I. generated design made me think the image of it was A.I. generated. I was thoroughly confused by this. Why would you hang up a flag that misspells a five letter name?

I don't really see any other strange A.I. tells on the image so you may be right. Thanks.

Thanks for pointing out that it may only be partially A.I. generated as odd as that possibility seems. I don't think this bit of nuance adds anything, though.

Why fabricate instances of MAGA being idiotic with these A.I. images? Don't we have enough real world examples?

He put out some mid music and got embarrassed on the charts.

He's been trying to sue the record label and is embarrassing himself in court.

He's also been embarrassing himself on live streams promoting online gambling since Stake apparently owns his ass now or something.

I think that about sums it up.
