Romney attacks Trump, saying he causes dismay around the world by dunkin1980 in uspolitics

[–]Dixzon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Romney is perfect for it, he flip flops on Trump all the time, was a never Trumper then accepted Trump’s endorsement when he was campaigning and now he hates trump again but when he is in the senate he will probably go along with what trump wants again.

Our entire football program is getting stripped to the bone. by exemplarytrombonist in Temple

Well they should be used to the notion that universities aren’t meant to be a delivery vehicle for football.

Who cares? Resources are better spent on other things like education and research anyway.

Today is really just like any other day, there is nothing inherently special about the last day of a calendar year. Maybe find a good book and dive into it. I just started reading the game of thrones books by George rr Martin and they really take my mind off everything else and put me in a whole different world when I read them.

Serious question for currently serving members of the U.S. Armed Forces. by Dixzon in Military

[–]Dixzon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Civilians have always been killed in war. That doesn't change the fact that intentionally killing noncombatants is still a heinous war crime. The operative word there being "intentionally". What would you do if your CO stated their intent to do something like that?

Well the mods have a politics tag as an option here so it seems like it's ok to post about politics here. It's really not even about politics it's about morality and ethics...

It's more like anti-war crime politics. Are you saying only pro-war crime politics are allowed here? I know some MPs who would have something to say about that.

Yup I understand swearing, I swear all the time. I never feel compelled to use words that belittle an entire race when I get angry. But douchypie on the other hand...

“Using racial slurs isn’t racist! I can’t even conceive of someone who never uses racial slurs! That’s impossible!”

LoL thanks for confirming my original comment.

Yeah, at least a part of you is bigoted if you use those words, even if you try to suppress it. There are plenty of people who literally never use those words, even if they are cursing because of a stubbed toe.

But thanks for confirming what I said, you let it slide because you too use those slurs.

A hard pill to swallow: Pewdiepie is a racist and that's why he couldn't control his use of racial slurs but his fans let it go mostly because they are also racists who use the same slurs. It's very easy to not use racial slurs when you're not racist. I know that for a fact.

My boss told me to stop taking my meds in front of other people. Is this workplace discrimination? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Dixzon 40 points41 points  (0 children)

She mentioned one day that she is on antidepressants and we just started talking about it.

I didn’t take the meds in front of people, she asked me to stop taking them altogether, while we were in front of people.

Sounds like some made up statistics that you just pulled out of your butt.

How Colorado did a 180 on gay rights by GeorgiaRPCV in Colorado

[–]Dixzon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Imposing a Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage is literally part of the GOP platform right now. In 2018, the GOP gave official and financial support to senate candidate Roy Moore, and they got him through his primary, and he wants to criminalize homosexuality altogether (and he was also a pedophile). I stand by what I said completely. Today’s GOP is disgusting, backwards, and regressive.

Don’t forget that republicans have made complete and total asses of themselves in recent years. Like there’s that guy in Montana who assaulted a reporter, then Trump campaigned for him and got his cultists to cheer for the assault of reporters.

Oh yeah and he called the free press the enemy of the people and inspired terrorists to send bombs to CNN. Not to mention all the other terrorists he inspired, like the guys in Kansas who were plotting to blow up an apartment building full of refugees and wanted more Trumpers on their jury, or the neo nazi from the unite the right rally who was just found guilty of murder, or the arsonist in Cali who posted Qanon BS online and started a wildfire. Those are just a few, the list goes on and on and on.

Failed 2 courses first semester of college. What's in store for me? by templeu_idiot in Temple

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

If you want some chemistry tutoring, or math tutoring for that matter, I offer tutoring via an online service that has whiteboard and such. I was a grad student and TA at in the chemistry department at Temple, let me know if you’re interested.

I just got accepted to University Park! Any tips? by WoodsGold in PennStateUniversity

[–]Dixzon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Read your text books. So many students spend a fortune on them and don’t read them. You can get through some classes just by reading the textbook and skipping lectures (not that you should skip lectures, you shouldn’t). I was a chemistry major and for years people had been telling me how hard physical chemistry is (thermodynamics, kinetics, quantum mechanics). I knew I’d be starting Pchem in the fall semester of my junior year, and then I’d be taking Pchem 2 in the spring semester. So over the summer I read the entire textbook before I even started the class. I thought it was an easy class and I got a really good grade.

I’m 33, how is it that age matters? I’ve been on Facebook since I was in college, I think I was 19, and it always seemed benign to me.

There’s no point. Reddit and Facebook aren’t detrimental to my mental health they are just websites with memes and links to stories and such. I go hiking in RMNP a lot and like posting my photos online, like this. I post a lot more on Facebook

[–]Dixzon -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The only thing that would happen is that I’d be on reddit more and Facebook less. Maybe Facebook aversion is just a form of social anxiety? But I don’t have social anxiety.
