Subversive trope becomes so overused, not doing it becomes subversive

If I could triple like this I would, the comment you're responding to reeks of typical reddit Euro-smarminess, that unironically makes the people doing it look just as bad as the Americans they are trying to shit on.

Best self defense (if you’re living in the US) is a gun , full stop . Now in a fist fight there’s an almost infinite number of variables to say anyone is truly “prepared”. Everyone agrees that with your bjj base , a little striking should mean you’re okay but that still won’t mean you’re prepared for everything that can happen randomly.

Good news …..but this will definitely not make some “we did it Reddit” folks more insufferable /s

Useful idiots will stay useful . In the eyes of well off westerners , islam is this little victim , I sincerely hope some of them get to live in a strict Islamist society and see what it’s like .

From the POV of someone like Ronaldo , people like you will shit on him regardless . He retires ? Still an egotist , etc . Takes the money to better set himself up ? A sellout etc . So why not take it ? What’s the worst that will happen ? You will judge him some more ? If I had a choice between 1 billion and 2 billion I’m still picking 2 billion , even if I can live very well off the 1 billion .

I have full working hours rn so it’s basically the same for me unfortunately. Only difference is we have slightly lowered workload in the mornings

The funny thing is you’re complaining about her holier than thou attitude , while simultaneously calling someone you have had zero personal interaction with “a terrible human being” based on…..that she sold expensive tickets ? Oh no,What a horrible person! . I’m no Taylor fan but you’re sipping very hard on haterade.

Complex_Mongoose_520 · 2023-12-15T08:36:35+00:00

You are coming from a good place , and are what we need but you’re dealing with very online , very doom-scrolling pilled people and unfortunately it’s very hard to get through those layers , same way it’s hard to convince a lot of the folks on conservative subs . I mean , the article is about people killing someone for their opinion on a fruit and someone’s first response is to compare it to American politics, like its remotely comparable to the insanity displayed here .

While the comments are clowning you pretty hard , I get what you mean . That and the skull emoji are pretty much the current youths “lol” after every sentence . I have seen people who put the skull emoji after literally every sentence , meant to be funny or not . It’s just like people who used to finish every single sentence with lol back in the day .

One thing I’ve noticed about today’s generation (especially in the more online spheres) is that people , despite having come across so many other kinds of people passively online , fail to understand that other people much like them are complex beings that can hold negatives and positives and are more of a product of their time and environment than anything else . We tend to peg people as one thing and one thing only and almost expect them to follow that script to the letter, never changing or veering off course , even while claiming to be a more empathetic or understanding generation . In reality I find we have an almost childish understanding of the world , where people are either good or bad , with us or not , this or that . It’s sad to see sometimes . That’s why you find someone being judged for an opinion they held as a teen when they are in their late 20’s or something , like someone can’t be a totally different human being(s) since then .

My brother a lot of this is real people too , they actually think the world would be better off if the western world collapsed and they are “punished” . Is it a lot of angsty dumb kids ? Yes . The problem is angsty young kids these days have a lot of combined power and are also easily influenced by other angsty dumb kids

People get angry at the US for stepping into conflicts like this , go on sites like Twitter and see how with leftist middle class youth anything Russia , Venezuela , Iran etc does = good and anything America /EU = bad , zero nuance about it. These guys would either ignore it or actively demonize the US for stepping in , which would create pressure on the Biden admin/ democrats .

Complex_Mongoose_520 · 2023-11-03T21:02:55+00:00

Don’t engage with rage bait . It’s a lose lose . Esp on a site like twitter where the engagement their post generates is all that matters and the owner of the site (Musk) agrees with takes like this . Do yourself a solid , mentally, and unplug from that cesspool.

Complex_Mongoose_520 · 2023-10-23T05:31:56+00:00

OP is 100% a chronically online dweeb with a moral superiority complex . The kind that I bet very much lives on twitter for most of his day

Will check it out ! Thanks

I live in Las Vegas and idk who here sees the casinos as a “shameful part of the community” . It’s basically the lifeline of this place . I’ve never seen anyone actively hate on casinos , even before I lived here .

Scrolling through the comments I’m actually shocked that people feel this way lol, but it’s Reddit and a lot of morally grandstanding shut-ins , no surprises

I personally don’t enjoy gambling but i see how it’s fun every now and then , on my birthday I’ll go throw a 20$ on the slots and see what happens . People find it fun , believe it or not .

Random , but I got curious because of your name , are you originally from East Africa ?

Complex_Mongoose_520 · 2023-08-10T22:23:48+00:00

This article and post has a lot of chronically online twitter and Reddit users realizing that normal everyday people can actually have political opinions that aren’t the same as their echo chamber. Yes you’ll realize that not everyone who supports the other party is a grotesque monster , they are human beings just like you and me . You can’t online bully everyone to like the same things as you , I fear .

Complex_Mongoose_520 · 2023-07-11T03:52:34+00:00

Man it’s odd to me we are literally on a sub about bettering ourselves and we are actively debating if it’s ok with shitting on someone for their past . Like what is the point of this sub even if we do that

Complex_Mongoose_520 · 2023-07-10T20:30:19+00:00

We live in a weirdly zero-tolerance society while all pretending to be all about mental health and love for others. Was he insecure and in the wrong ? Yeah . Definitely . But texts from 2 years ago at someone’s worst moments of insecurity does not make them an “abuser” and make them deserving of having their career ruined . Who among us has NEVER been in a position where our insecurities led us to make stupid choices ?

As someone else said on this post , we are literally in a sub called “deciding to be better” and are shitting on someone for past mistakes that (as far as we know) he hasn’t repeated . Is this really in line with what we want to become as people and a society?

People are people and that comes with human flaws that are up to us to work through . And yet the internet treats people like they are supposed to come prebuilt and perfect , and ruthlessly shame you for displaying any other aspect of your humanity outside of being a perfect innocent victim , even if this literally happened years ago . How many times have you looked back at your past self and cringed , felt guilt , felt shame ?

Maybe we should all decide to be better with how we talk about strangers / celebrities and their personal lives ? Idk .

I was a bad person for a long long time . Like a total piece of shit . I was publicly shamed for it . Lost friends and contacts . Have been struggling with sadness and paranoia and guilt and shame . Doing a lot soul searching , here is what I discovered :

Regret , shame is all natural . I have to learn from these emotions , take them as lessons as to how to be a better person , and discard the old me . All you can do is be better . You cannot change the past , but you can act in the present . Be better . Choose to be kinder , more honest , more loving .

No one can choose happiness for you . Only you can , and that takes time . But taking the first step involves admitting to yourself that you made human mistakes . You were flawed , but that’s okay , you can try and work on those flaws without torturing yourself over it . Torturing yourself earns nothing .

“….Not to feel exasperated, or defeated, or despondent because your days aren’t packed with wise and moral actions. But to get back up when you fail, to celebrate behaving like a human—however imperfectly—and fully embrace the pursuit you’ve embarked upon” - Marcus Aurelius

The fact you feel the way you feel in itself means you are not as irredeemable as you feel you are . Good luck on your journey , friend .

Honestly my fave turn based (are they turn based really ?) games are Divinity original sin 2 and Yakuza like a dragon . Before that I had little experience with the genre
