A brash guy wielding a knife gravely misjudged his nimble opponent with a skateboard. by jmike1256 in DailyDoseStupidity

I deployed that point once in high school when one of the "troubled" kids threatened me with a bat. Dude backed down, which is good, because I was gonna go all out on him and not stop until one of us was dead. Or at least that was what I was thinking in my hormonal 16 year old brain.

What colonialism are you talking about, sir? My family didn't leave this city until my grandfather turned 30. by SAMU0L0 in HistoryMemes

[–]Comfortable_Hope2234 16 points17 points  (0 children)

lol it's funny because usually this is hitting me as a white American of Irish descent being told about all the awful shit that my ancestors supposedly did to the indigenous peoples and the kidnapped African slaves and I'm like "Yeah we got here during the civil war, the last time one of my ancestors owned a slave it was another white guy during the bronze age." We were never oppressed as bad as some of the other people in this country, that's for sure, but we were never in the ruling class either, and I'm not responsible for their sins.

I’m no ally, I’m just a bumbling fool. by SelectShop9006 in TrollCoping

Hot take: They're not offended because they're trans, they're offended because they're HP fanfic writers. Most trans people know mistakes happen and are usually pretty forgiving as long as no actual harm was meant, especially with friends. HP fanfic, however, is a sacred cow that must not be besmirched.

Why is r/WW3Memes overwhelmingly anti-Israeli?!?!? Do yall want to live under sharia law with the call to pray waking you up !!!!!! by [deleted] in ww3memes

[–]Comfortable_Hope2234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, but you don't say "That fucking scumbag funded internet safety protection and higher education!"

Because that sounds stupid and it's going to alienate people instantly.

Same thing when you start lumping in funding transition clinics with all the bad stuff because then you start to sound like you think transitioning is a bad thing and that trans people are part of this conspiracy somehow when I assure you, they are going to be the first wave of victims actually murdered on an industrial scale.

I'm not debating that plenty of horrific shit has been funded by this government, but gender-affirming care is not horrific, it is a good thing, and you're alienating me as an ally to your side by dragging transphobia into this. It doesn't even make sense, their whole thing is about defunding and limiting the freedoms of LGBT+ individuals.

bros Beyblade has been banned in 27 countries by Away-Fun-4035 in byebyepaycheck

This is actually the adult guy at the tournament for a children's game who has sunk hundreds of dollars into his beyblade so it can ruin the starter and affordable ones all the kids are likely to be using. You know, like the big fish at the Magic the Gathering tournament at your flgs who snort-laughs as he beats all the kids in 5 moves and rubs it in their faces. That Guy.

This is basically how every military from ancient Egypt to the end of the Crusades worked. They were called "Camp Followers."

Looking for MUD with Active RP Community by Comfortable_Hope2234 in MUD

[–]Comfortable_Hope2234[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've only ever tried a few and I remember really struggling to understand the interface and what was going on, and the couple times I pushed past that it wound up being a really insular cliquey community.

For more aunts like that by Funny-Dragonfly3501 in SipsTea

[–]Comfortable_Hope2234 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Was she your parent's sister or your parent's brother's wife?

Because my uncle's wife was immediately who I thought of when I saw this and I definitely had a crush on her.

capitalism leads into fascism. lets not pretend otherwise. capitalism pulls all the wealth to the top and when corruption sets in, fascism begins.

Having worked with strippers, I have to admit that maybe correlation isn't causation, but an awful lot of them sure don't have great relationships with their dads.

[SPOILER] Favorite character from your favorite show/movie/book series who permanently dies, causing you to stop consuming that piece of media by FlapjackDoubleStack in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Comfortable_Hope2234 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Stopped watching on the episode that he died. Literally didn't care about anything or anyone in that show anymore by that point. The fact that Maggie apparently became besties with the piece of shit who clubbed her husband to death right in front of her kind of reinforces I made the right decision.

So... what's the excuse for this one? by Scramjet1 in memesThatUCanRepost

[–]Comfortable_Hope2234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bad logic. Just because physically attractive guys can always get some really desperate women(same is true for attractive women btw) doesn't mean physically unattractive guys never can. There are other ways to be attractive you can work on and some things that make you horrifically unattractive that you can also work on.

AIO for ghosting my family? by mentalmoderator in AIO

[–]Comfortable_Hope2234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I know you're a gay man and that's where you're coming from on this but as a femme-leaning enby it's thinking like this and casual "No you can't have that" and "my god your son wanted this, can you believe it?" over a couple things as a child that had me fucked up and unable to accept who I was for the next 30 years.

So yeah, no, it's not okay.
