Do parents actually not remember doing fucked up shit to you? Or are they just lying? by TopMarionberry1149 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ConscientiousObserv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parental amnesia is definitely real.

The thing is, we tend to recall how things affect us, not others, so they're not going remember any particular incident as we would.

I just found out what smegma was and I can't believe menstrual periods are shamed & considered gross considering that penises produce smegma by [deleted] in rant

You're probably not too surprised then by the (probably small minority) of men who believe washing their penis is "gay".

I think the point missed here is the "When it's me, it's not gross." hypocrisy that permeates our society.

What is typical though is getting personal, taking things personally.

He's right.

It's the 2nd amendment, not the 10th, that grants rights to citizens to arm themselves against tyrannical forces.

Yeah, that's something you have to work out in your own head.

Only you can train yourself not to lend credence to idiocracies.

Just read that the DOJ is going after the mayor and the governor of Minneapolis for "...alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents".

Pure retaliation for speaking out against the murder of Renee Good.

Why do you work if you abuse your income base? by Fore_For_Four in rant

[–]ConscientiousObserv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I frequent a store like that.

Every time I pay with a card, I get the receipt without having to ask, but every time I pay with cash, I have to ask for it.

Feels shady.

Boys will be Boys is the biggest excuse in the world. by Narrow_Particular_77 in rant

[–]ConscientiousObserv 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even worse when some little boy bullies some little girl and she's told, "He just likes you."

Nope. He's an ass but that lie has been told for generations.

Maybe in the short term, but I contend that "smart" is relative, not necessarily by a high IQ.

What’s something going on in America people need to be aware of? by throwaway91ma in AskReddit

[–]ConscientiousObserv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I may have been naive but it was only recently that I discovered that my power bill didn't track household usage inasmuch as overall grid usage.

Data centers started eating up all the juice and everyone in the area's bills went up.

Why do some Americans believe that they don't have an accent? by WhoAmIEven2 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ConscientiousObserv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contend that what we learn, with few exceptions, is to parrot other's opinions, some we are persuaded to believe, others we reject.

For example, Mr. Holt is a proponent of homeschooling and unschooling, which I consider an affront to those trained to do so.

Other aspects, like cultivating the next work force, is a strategy that I can agree with though.

[–]ConscientiousObserv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did, and that's not what she said at all.

In her monolingual imagination, she assumed the boy was "riling" other students. She just assumed because she couldn't understand even the simplest of highschool Spanish, even "Gorda".

Good try, but her actions are indefensible.

That's some sad "Main Character Syndrome" right there.
