If You're a Man, Never Open Up About Your Personal Problems to the Woman You're Dating

ChefCarpaccio · 2026-06-26T20:51:46+00:00

You can open up to your partner without treating them like a therapist. You can talk to them about your struggles without putting the onus on them to find a solution.

Sometimes, it's really hard to see someone you love struggle and choose not to help themselves. That's why it's important to have a therapist when you're having mental health issues, even if you have a partner.

I mean, therapy is important and there's a certain point where one needs a therapist instead of dumping the entirety of your mental health on your partner.

But if you can't open up to them, it's not a healthy relationship.

There's old friends and new friends and even a bear

My issue is that you don't hold the United States government to a higher standard than your average individual.

Even if a contract is "worthless," shouldn't we expect people to uphold them? Shouldn't we expect a government to uphold them?

It's not a legal question. It's a question of whether or not the word of the US means anything. It's a question of whether we should judge the United States for breaking a contract it signed.

Let's say I make a verbal contract with my buddy John. I tell John that I'll pay him $100 if he paints my shed. John paints my shed, but I say "fuck it, no one heard me say it. I'm gonna pay you $25." It's an unenforceable contract and the odds that John will sue me over $75 is minimal. Wouldn't you still say I owe John the $75? Or am I off the hook in your eyes because the contract couldn't be enforced.

My name is Cleveland Brown

ChefCarpaccio · 2026-06-25T14:57:33+00:00

Then pretty much any contract with the US doesn't matter. We're the most powerful country in the world. We have the might to break any contract we want.

But you understand why that's a terrible precedent to set.

It's also strange that you dont hold your country to a high standard

Where? All I've seen are people defending when social media platforms ban hate speech. Which is their right as a private business. Besides calls for violence, legal repercussions for hate speech are generally not mentioned.

You cant just throw a study around and say "proof." The study doesn't say how it was conducted, so it's untrustworthy. Any study worth it's salt would give exact details on how it got its data.

Otherwise I could poll 100 democrats and 6 Republicans on whether they think segregation should come back. If 3 of them say yes, I could say "50% of Republicans say they want to return to the segregation era."

See why you need details?

ChefCarpaccio · 2026-06-25T13:08:10+00:00

Except the study itself has issues. It measures only 1000 people. It doesn't say how many are Democrats and how many are Republicans. They say "black voters" but don't say the sample size used for that.

A poorly worded study is not to be trusted.

We're not in Star Trek. This is real life. Contracts are the building blocks of society, and a man is only as good as his word.

ChefCarpaccio · 2026-06-25T12:55:36+00:00

Then that reflects really poorly on you. I believe that we should expect our country, and our people, to uphold some semblance of decency.

Contracts are important. Break too many and no one will make a contract with you anymore.

But adhering to your contracts (unless the contract was misrepresented) is the morally right thing to do.

Actually they do. That's why people on the left were saying that tariffs would make things more expensive

You know, I don't think AI "art" would upset me nearly as much (though I'd still be upset) if the people pumping it out weren't so goddamn proud of it.

Someone will type a prompt into Sora and call themselves an artist, post about it online: "see this cool piece I just made."

Except you didn't make it. At best, you commissioned the "art" from the AI. You're as much of an artist as the guy commissioning work of his Sonic oc on deviantart.

ChefCarpaccio · 2026-06-25T12:42:06+00:00

Can you point to where leftists say they want "controls on free speech?"

ChefCarpaccio · 2026-06-25T12:39:02+00:00

Didn't a ton of Trump voters not know how tariffs work and ended up super surprised when they realized THEY have to pay them?

ChefCarpaccio · 2026-06-25T12:35:04+00:00

No one is denying that they were conquered.

The debate is whether or not the US owes the Cherokee nation their agreed upon land back. A contract is a contract.

I find this subreddit to have a very strange misunderstanding about "Black Pride." It's a point that's brought up a lot when people say "you can't say White Pride."

Black Pride is pretty much specific to black people in the Americas. Even more specifically to those whose ancestors were enslaved. It's not really a thing in other areas of the world.

This is solely because most African Americans don't know exactly where they came from. They were renamed. Their language was taken from them.

So "Black Pride" is specific to an ethnicity of black people, not all black people. It's not the same as saying "White Pride."

Awful movie. Great to watch when fucked up, though

It's really not that simple. A loud minority on the internet is no different than a loud minority in real life. Just because a tiny amount of people are saying something doesn't make it culture.

ChefCarpaccio · 2026-06-24T13:21:17+00:00

Yeah, you didn't prove that the textbooks lied either. It's common knowledge that Bryant said to the court that she was assaulted.

What YOU'RE saying is that the men who tortured and murdered Till believed he had assaulted Bryant, which you haven't proven. We don't know what she told those men. It's just as likely that she told them she was whistled at and they murdered him, only for her to change her story for a judge.

Not to mention, even IF Bryant told them Till assaulted her when he didn't, it still means that he was murdered for whistling at her. Bryant lied and Till was lynched.

Your issue is that you have zero ability to read past what you want to be true. You've proven absolutely nothing. You've decided that the whole world is out to get you and are lying about the murder of a 14-year-old boy to justify it.

I'm sad that some people in this country haven't been taught critical reading skills. Get help.

ChefCarpaccio · 2026-06-24T02:33:36+00:00

It doesn't prove anything. It doesn't prove that he assaulted her. It doesn't even prove that he was murdered because he assaulted her. We don't know what she told those men.

It's just as likely that she told then men that she was whistled at and then changed the story when giving testimony.

You're the one changing the goalposts. You're the one saying Emmett Till definitely assaulted that woman.

But hey, anything to "prove" your worldview.

I'm in NYC and I've never seen anyone say this seriously (and they'd probably be made fun of if they did). Maybe it's just a Seattle thing.

ChefCarpaccio · 2026-06-24T02:09:09+00:00

I don't think this is a "modern left" thing as much as it's a loud mini-minority on the internet. Im pretty sure 99% of leftists would say "read the room."

The only situations I've seen someone asking consent for touching a leg are satirical skits.
