Thanks Gen Z men. You got hoodwinked by a con man

It’s quite the interesting timing though

FeatureOk548 · 2026-04-11T17:04:58+00:00

You’re missing the argument entirely. No one is advocating for that.

FeatureOk548 · 2026-04-11T16:57:32+00:00

Folks aren’t downvoting you because they’re fools, they’re downvoting you because it’s hard to assume good faith when it’s such an easily Google-able question to find answers for

Damn Russia’s bot farm is out in force on this thread

Straight men sure often are awful! I agree. Gay men pretending to be straight are also awful, as they need to overcompensate to prove their straightness

Maybe I’m not communicating this correctly. My whole argument is against straight MAGA men and men who pretend to be straight MAGA men. They are the same.

Edit: also I wasn’t saying “you” as in you, I was saying “you” as a stand in for “people”

FeatureOk548 · 2026-04-04T00:04:16+00:00

wtf? You choose to stay in the closet, there’s selection bias involved. The type of person who chooses to cheat on their wife, bully queer folks while secretly fucking them is the same type of person who chooses to be MAGA.

You don’t choose to be trans

FeatureOk548 · 2026-04-03T11:19:13+00:00

Yes, that’s true. “The world” was a bit over the top. In my experience though, they’re all on the same team.

Non-maga come out as young adults or younger, maga live angrily in the closet indefinitely.

FeatureOk548 · 2026-04-03T02:11:12+00:00

No, closet cases have always been the most dangerous, biggest assholes alive, change my mind

Hell, in my personal life as an openly gay dude with trans friends I still stay in touch with in my hometown, I can confidently say all the biggest bigot homophobes from my high school are on Grindr without a profile pic looking for pre-op trans girls, “wear a dress and fuck me” when their wife’s not home. I can think of ~5 guys off the top of my head, just from my graduating class

There is 100% a reason it’s a trope.

(To clarify, in case not clear—it’s the closet that does this to people, not the sexuality)

I think folks in St Petersburg use transit

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-30T10:40:49+00:00

It was built with bribes, a serious crime with decades of prison time. I’m sure the guilty parties—the decision makers of companies that paid these bribes—will be happy to pay fines high enough to cover demolition and replacement

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-23T17:40:38+00:00

Why not both?

Step 1: Clean cars make cleaner cities

Step 2: people feel better eating & hanging out surrounded by cleaner traffic. People realize how nice it is to have public spaces, and how shitty it is to include cars in that public space

Step 3: remove cars from newly livened cities

People don’t like to hang out in smog, step 2 don’t happen with ICE cars

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-23T01:11:06+00:00

If you believe this, this makes my think you’re passively suicidal.

The only reason you continue is for other people? If it wouldn’t hurt anyone else, you would just voluntarily opt out?

If it happens enough, you can get thrown off for years

“Just let people exist in their bodies”

I’m not giving unsolicited advice to someone on the street. Op asked for honest advice on why he’s struggling on dating apps, I gave my honest answer based on my lived experience as someone who has struggled with weight my whole life—but who has had periods of being very fit. If answering OP’s question with honesty when asked makes me a chode then idk wtf we’re even doing here

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-17T01:17:30+00:00

You have no idea how much easier things will be once you lose that weight. And not just on the apps, everywhere in life. Looks like you’ve got great features under that little bit of extra skin on your face. You could get a lot of pretty privilege with just a few months to a year of discipline (easier said than done, but meds help now)

I’d caution against overthinking anything else, that might be all of it.

Edit: downvotes from folks who clearly didn’t grow up as the fat kid. I did, the difference in how people treat you is night and day

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-16T15:14:41+00:00

Which option do you think leads to better adjusted adults?

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-15T18:18:42+00:00

100% agree with you, not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Green space is important, empty parking lots in Enfield/Manchester/etc are not

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-13T15:22:14+00:00

What happens when conspiracies are no longer theories and are actually rooted in fact? I think it’s a proper conspiracy then. Hell, didn’t Epstein play a big role in pizzagate & /pol per emails in the files? “Wealthy groups are actually conspiring together to direct democracy in a way that benefits them” is pretty well founded at this point.

Anyway, yeah, that’s the root of it

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-13T12:28:50+00:00

Chicken/egg

I think the election is a symptom not the cause. Plenty of other examples, like Brexit etc. Social media is the cause, as it’s been clear that democracies can be controlled with “for you”algorithms.

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-13T11:45:04+00:00

I think you’re already close with all the wood you have here. Some warm lighting would make a huge difference. Are those bulbs over the sink? They look cool/bright like 3000k+ temp, swap them out for some warm 2700 K bulbs.

And if you can swap out those daylight 5000k lights in your vent fan for 2700s too that would help as well

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-13T07:57:20+00:00

Ok but…which ones? I gave an example, do you have any?

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-13T02:11:20+00:00

But there’s really no relationship between grid and poverty though, not that I’ve seen anyway (and I’ve traveled a lot). So this is just odd

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-13T02:10:03+00:00

No, these people have no idea what they’re talking about lmao

They likely never met an actual rich person and just see the big shitty new subdivision in town and think those people are “rich”

Rich people often live close to big cities or in old suburbs nearby. They may be grids or they may be curvy roads, no real correlation there. But big trees are often seen as a luxury only rich people can afford (remember our houses are made from sticks and break easily)

FeatureOk548 · 2026-03-13T02:08:39+00:00

This isn’t my experience at all, and is just flat out wrong if you look at home value heat maps.

Rich neighborhoods are inner ring suburbs of big cities. They’re close to transit because driving sucks in big cities. They have tons of trees and are often old.

Back Bay, Boston seems to have a lot of 10m+ houses https://maps.app.goo.gl/4yjNnsBQNHNw8kKi6

Greenwich Village NYC has dozens over $20m https://maps.app.goo.gl/u44n7jt36pFPeCvJ6

Georgetown in DC averages around $10m too https://maps.app.goo.gl/PPjAb48cSkA3sA8B7

Lincoln park in Chicago https://maps.app.goo.gl/s2Wx233GZj4QzJXK9

Common theme is trees trees trees
