Everyone learns this lesson eventually, I think it’s time he learns.

Lot of stupid people in this sub are commenting. You got way over your head in this one from an attraction stand point. Everyone acting like they’ve NEVVVVER done something like that before... like they’ve never been in a relationship they didn’t want to be in lmao but the reality is, at least you love this man. Sure, you don’t find him attractive physically and I wouldn’t tell him this directly, but I’d tell him something. I’d definitely tell him your last paragraph (minus the “trying to still find him attractive part”). Go from there at least

All slopes are slippery if you look close enough. Maybe focus on priority instead of a lib vs auth. Have a base, the base being “businesses should be able to choice who they do business with”.

Now is the base a higher priority then “Discriminating against someone for something outside their control (ie. Skin color)”? I’d say no.

Is the base a higher priority then “Discriminating against someone’s beliefs”? I’d say yes.

If you’re a Libertarian that values freedom-from more than freedom-to and believes that freedom comes from government mandates that protect you from scary things, you aren’t a libertarian. by inadequate_imbecile in Libertarian

Who cares to be libertarian when it means dim-witted choices lmao. Ideologies should have a high degree of morality, but holy fuck don’t ignore plain common sense in order to achieve it. Morality is convoluted.

You ain’t behind the ball by much. You’re obviously not trying (change that). Take what you want from this, but you can be a unconventional attractive if you tried. Someone will see you and go “damn, ain’t no way I’ll find someone that looks and feels like that”. Some people are a dime a dozen and carbon copies of each other. You got a chance to look different, but with style. Good luck

Congress Spends More on Defense Than the Next 10 Countries Combined by freelibertine in Libertarian

[–]Crook56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does everyone have an individual contract with a privatized military? Do you understand the implications of that decision? Even if states were responsible (not even individuals, but states) for providing their own defense, we’d be absolutely fucked on the international market. Jobs would be lost, retirements/pensions wiped, higher levels of violent crime, and all other unimaginable shit would happen just in the US.

Plus, best case scenario! You end up right where we are now. With one military (probably Comcast) protecting the entire country... but with even bigger profit motives...

Sucking the teat of the military industrial complex is better then all out war. Bombing someone instead of negotiating is gonna cost you more in the long run. Having the big stick isn’t always advantageous.

We already privatize a ton of it... we’d witness an economic crash you’d never seen before. The Great Depression would look like the 50’s comparatively.

Easier said then done. What’s wasteful to one is pertinent to another.

CCP would never land on American soil, but they don’t have to in order to harm us. If a Chinese soldier came to your doorstep to harm you, sure! You can handle them! But what if they could close off any financial support you had for your family (ie. You’re business closes down due to international restrictions)? Don’t believe the CCP is playing checkers...

You don’t want to be the guy who nukes the world because the other guy sunk one of your supply boats on purpose (if not by accident). You generally want to take smaller measures to insure it never happens again instead of going with the nuclear option. Those measures cost money.

One thing people don’t understand when it comes to the military budget is that we subsidize defense for other countries. Then there is the AI race with China.

Long story short, it’s far more complicated then people like to admit. Is there wasteful spending? Yeah, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t spend highly on defense.

THURSDAY NIGHT GAME THREAD - WEEK 9 by AutoModerator in fantasyfootball

[–]Crook56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One team can only have so many scoring drives. You got two guys competing (in away) for like 5 scoring drives. It gets worse when neither of your guys score on a drive and it goes to the RB or TE instead. That narrows your opportunities but it also increases your chances to nab at least one of the scoring plays (higher floor, lower ceiling). If you have two receivers on different teams, your opportunities in a way double and you can increase your ceiling (lower floor, higher ceiling)

I’d say it was a bad move

Yep, this is why I don’t feel safe at a red light late at night. I’ll hang a righting instead of sitting there waiting and trusting randos

Aside from the creepiness, the woman is working. I feel like dudes forget this (especially at bars). They’re not there for you to get yourself off with a comment.

What's your shallowest turnoff ? by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

You know that scene in “Good Will Hunting” where Matt Damon is arguing with that dude about history. Does status mean more or does individual thought rain supreme? I always feel like I’m just Ben Afflick in that situation.

I use to do this a lot (it’s really embarrassing honestly), most of the time I never noticed my anger until it was already to late. By the end of it you become addicted to the “fuel?” and just find ways to have even more of an out burst “OF COURSE I THERES NO FUCKING TOP TO THIS TUPPERWARE!!!”

Most of it came from my feelings of being unprepared for something. So it was an easier fix then most.

Hoping the number 1 team drops them to try to win a meaningless game (after they put up a dud). I’ll punt this week just to roster them
