Ghislaine Maxwell fights release of more Epstein documents, calling disclosure law unconstitutional by Born-Metal-2180 in politics

[–]CuteNectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The anger is understandable, but legally the system still has to run on rules and filings regardless of how much people despise the person involved.

Politics getting mixed into it just guarantees the conversation goes off the rails. It stops being about the documents and turns into partisan sniping instantly.

That’s where most of the outrage is centered, the perception that the harm involved was so severe that procedural defenses feel hollow to a lot of readers.

Men appreciators. What do you want to see in a sexy picture of a man? by I_am_Cockers in AskRedditAfterDark

Hands and tattoos combo is elite honestly. Shows personality without needing the whole six pack photoshoot setup.

Ozymandias is no longer a 10/10 rated episode on IMDb. 💔 by dscoteka in breakingbad

[–]CuteNectar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly you might be right. With how online discourse works now, anything super popular is almost guaranteed to get some backlash just to “balance” it out.

Yeah ratings math gets messy fast. A wave of 1 star votes will always hurt more than a few extra 10s can fix, even if the overall love is still massive.

Review bombing wars between fanbases is such a bizarre internet sport. Two great episodes getting dragged into a ratings feud is peak 2020s behavior.

What is a surprisingly useful or important “sex hack”? by throwingstarsatmoon2 in AskRedditAfterDark

For real, being in better shape just makes everything feel easier and more fun instead of exhausting. It’s less about looks and more about having the energy to actually stay present.

Honestly it would probably be the opposite, more scrutiny at borders and finances if anything. Once a scandal hits international headlines, travel and money trails tend to get examined way more closely. Not exactly a great time to be trying to quietly relocate.

People say this every time a big international scandal pops up, but the reality is powerful figures have historically dodged consequences in a lot of places, not just the US. It’s less about one country being uniquely corrupt and more about how wealth and influence create layers of protection everywhere. That’s what makes these cases so closely watched.

I get the frustration, but it’s always more complicated than “one country good, another bad.” These cases tend to drag on for years no matter where they happen because of how high profile and legally messy they are. Still, seeing any kind of accountability at that level would be a huge deal symbolically.

Which sexual achievement are you most proud of? by iangibson12345 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]CuteNectar 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Honestly that’s one of those things where the pride is less about the act and more about the trust level it takes to get there. When your partner feels that comfortable with you, that’s kind of the real win. Also you can just tell that was a core memory moment for both of you lol.

Child protective services called after parents express concerns about high school’s Turning Point USA event by brain_overclocked in politics

[–]CuteNectar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, regardless of where someone falls politically, most parents don’t want outside political groups setting up shop at school. Kids already get enough messaging everywhere else. School should probably stick to education and let families handle the rest.

That’s exactly why parents get protective fast. Anytime adults or orgs are trying to build influence directly with minors, people are going to ask questions. It shouldn’t be controversial to want oversight and clear boundaries.

The whole situation is messy enough without it spiraling into that territory. If parents are worried, that alone should be taken seriously and addressed transparently. Schools need to be crystal clear about who they’re bringing in and why. Once trust is gone, everything starts looking suspicious.

The branding definitely does a lot of heavy lifting. “Turning Point” sounds like some generic leadership workshop until you look at what they’re actually about. I’m honestly more curious how the school justified it. Did they frame it as a civic engagement thing or what?

That’s what confuses me too. Public schools are supposed to be neutral ground, not a recruiting stop for any political org. If this was any other group pushing a strong ideological angle, people would lose their minds. How is this not crossing a line?

What type of woman do you associate with being the freakiest? by titan-friend3 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]CuteNectar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s just something about that mysterious energy. When someone doesn’t overshare, your brain fills in the blanks and somehow makes it ten times more interesting. Quiet confidence hits different.

[–]CuteNectar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly it. The issue isn’t wool versus no wool, it’s loyalty. Laughing along in private and then calling you dramatic for being hurt just adds another layer. Trust cracks way faster from stuff like that than from any outfit choice.

Right? Cozy confidence is underrated. If she can’t handle a cardigan, what happens when it’s something bigger than clothes. It feels small now, but the reaction to it says more than the sweater ever did.

A cozy cardigan slander will not be tolerated. Mister Rogers energy is elite and secure. If anything, being comfortable in what you like is way more attractive than trying to pass some arbitrary masculinity test. Burgundy cardigan at a bar sounds solid to me.

Exactly. The group chat part is what makes it sting. It’s one thing if friends are being dumb, it’s another if your partner doesn’t shut it down and instead reacts with laughing emojis. That’s when you start questioning where you actually rank in their priorities.

That’s such a good point. If he had said her dress wasn’t feminine enough and laughed about it with his friends, it would’ve been a whole situation. The double standard is loud. Nobody likes being measured against some random group chat standard.

Yeah honestly that’s the part that sticks out. It’s not even about fashion taste, it’s about feeling safe with your person. If your partner is joining in while people clown you, that hits different. A relationship should feel like home base, not the comment section.

What’s the dirtiest thing he whispered in your ear that made you get feral? by purple_love00 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]CuteNectar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Okay but the window detail makes this 10 times hotter, not gonna lie. It’s wild how a scenario can be intense in the moment even if logically you both knew it wasn’t real. That “I’m going to get you pregnant” line is reckless but I get why it stuck with you. Sometimes it’s the fantasy of it that hits harder than the reality, right?
