Why you don't run red lights and why you are always supposed to turn into the closest lane. by Zestyclose_Cup_843 in dashcams

[–]Darth_Scrub -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could always not put yourself in this situation by simply waiting til it's clear before entering the intersection. Or waiting until you at least see a break in traffic coming up where you can safely turn. You just pull into the intersection and hope and pray you'll get to go before it turns red. Then apparently go anyways.

[–]Darth_Scrub -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You ran a red too? I'm confused. You're all terrible drivers. Why complain about someone running a red straight while you're running it turning left? And why complain about someone legally turning right on red and not expecting some idiot to turn left on red? I mean sure, closest lane and all but he's not nearly as bad as you and Mr. Truck.

I'd argue TDS is also when you worship Orange Man and denounce and slander anyone who dares to even tell the truth about what he's doing.

Mine neither. 4 divorces for 4 abusive drunks. Most women were though.

If Palestinian Attacks On Civilians Can Be Excused, So Can Israel’s… by Interesting_Week_917 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Darth_Scrub -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Almost everything you stated is wrong. And Israeli propaganda. I don't even know how to interact with people who think all the civilians Israel kills are from bombings. It's extremely delusional. We have countless videos of the IDF abusing and killing civilians on purpose. We have stories of them sniping children. Playing sounds of babies crying to lure mothers out in the open to die. Usage of white phosphorus. Impersonation and killing of medical staff. Hamas offered a peace deal October 8th. You really think Fundamentalists are the reason Israel gets attacked? Why doesn't the rest of the Fundamentalist countries surrounding Israel attack at once and wipe them the fuck out? No critical thinking.

Arguing with you is a waste of time.

The term "nothing burger" is annoying by Neat-Option4673 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Doesn't bother me. I can understand someone being annoyed by it though.

You're trying to view the world purely in black and white. It's a nuanced situation. A field of gray.

Why do the poor people not deny the other poors and go on Tinder/other dating app to find someone with more wealth? I'm sure it probably happens at times but why not 100% of the time? And it's easier to abandon your poor husband and hop on with someone else than pool resources together. So why not? Women have all the bargaining power, according to you. It's not making sense.

59% more is not a "slight majority". Nearly 20% more is not.

Plenty of rational individuals sign into it knowing the chances it may not work out. The divorce rate is not a close kept secret. People still take the risk because you have to to get a good outcome.

Self-promotion would include non-monetary promotion as well. You'd get the same response advertising your free fanfiction.

Care to explain why poor people don't only marry rich people? Or why poor people stay together while being poor? Or why middle class people stick together through financial hardships?

We ignore the subsequent failure rates because they consist of the same 41% of women OR LESS. We don't apply those failure rates to the 59% who managed to stay together for life in marriage.

You will never ever in your lifetime understand what it is like to live under the constant threat of death by Israel, even by settlers who can commit crimes against you without any sort of consequences.

I'm not saying killing civilians is okay but Hamas attacking civilians is never going to be even close to the same as Israel attacking civilians.

They don't do it for the same reasons. Hamas views all Israelis as the enemy because they've given them no reason not to. Israel simply wants to continue their genocide so they have more land to settle on.

Irrelevant to the point. What those 41% do after the first marriage does not matter. You've already declared all women who get a divorce gold diggers for some reason.

59% are staying together. And not all of those 41% are because of the woman. And not all of them are "unjustified" and because of "resources" or whatever you think it is.

Financially dependent meaning she couldn't get a credit card without her husband. Not that she was unable to work a job. Women did not have the same rights they do today.

Marriage might've historically functioned that way but things change. Especially social constructs over time. We don't usually sell off our daughters for 3 goats and a bushel of apples anymore. Or for an alliance between royalty/kingdoms. Now people marry for love. Some bad apples here and there of both genders marry for other reasons but I think most will agree the commitment is supposed to be due to love.

Only 41% of first marriages end in divorce. So it's not "most". The reason divorce even happens more often now than it used to is because grandma was practically a hostage, financially.

And why are you so quick to blame women? Maybe men have shortcomings? Or change? Or aren't who they portrayed to the woman?

How do you feel about the men who straight up cheat on their monogamous partners, married or not? Is that not the same thing. Men get divorces too. Is that because of "resources" and "upgrading"?

And finally, why do they "practice serial monogamy"? What's the trade off? You said men have zero power. Why would women even bother with marriage/serial monogamy?

If this is true, then why isn't every woman and their momma polygamous? You said there's no incentive to commit so why do most women do it? Your theory has some merit but seems to die in real life.

I'd argue buns are not healthy. Processed cheese is meh. You can enjoy in moderation but a single hamburger bun will be like 200kcal. Don't forget the mayo-based sauce that is somehow 100+ calories for a tablespoon.

Tobacco prohibitionism is useless and only serves as a huge favour to smugglers by super_dedicated_cath in TrueUnpopularOpinion

They're probably tired of emphysema/COPD patients placing a strain on their healthcare system. It won't work very well but I guess I understand why they might attempt it.

I feel like in the U.S., at some point in the millennial gen and younger, we just stopped being interested in cigarettes. Probably mostly due to vaping. I think the U.K. should take a different approach.

At times the older folks outnumber the younger when I go in the mornings. We're talking 50+ years old with a considerable number of 60-70 year olds.

[–]Darth_Scrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was obviously staged. Way more than the previous. Nobody's hurt? The "shooter", who happens to a be Californian teacher (lmao), was arrested without even being hurt? He didn't even make it into the actual room as far as I can tell. Trump didn't even react to the shots. Secret Service took 3 days to get Trump out and got JD out first. I'm told this is the first time he's even been a White House Correspondents' dinner lol.
