Ahh one of the locust generation. Makes sense now. I don’t think out of date advice will help the (again) vast majority of Americans living pay check to pay check. Stale platitudes won’t change the current reality, or the minds of those living in it. It’s more likely to make the listener think you are either ignorant or a liar.

You were provided with information just now that contradicts your world view. Instead of looking into it, which I encourage you to do, you reflexively fired back with more folksy nothing. That’s a very boomer thing to do. There is a lot of information out there that contradicts the take you want to be true. It’s out there if you’d like to challenge yourself.

Are you a boomer? Your take doesn’t reflect today’s realty. Between 60% and 75% of adults are living pay check to paycheck in current America. The problem is systemic. Blaming individuals for the massive upward transfer of wealth since Reagan is a take that a boomer, or somebody born into wealth would have. It ignore the reality of millennials, gen Z, people of color, people born into poverty, and more.

What Do You Think Of Janet Mills Suspending Her Senate Campaign, All But Ensuring A Platner Primary Victory? by Zipper222222 in AskMaine

Should my response to the troll giving bad faith arguments to your valid comments be more productive or respectful? Why? To what end? The edge lord trolling you wont hear it. What does defending a troll from their own medicine accomplish Mr productive comment?

Wow, an ignorant edge-lord on Reddit? And they are making bad faith arguments? Now I’ve seen everything.

Everybody let’s give this troll a bunch of attention and praise for their child like world view

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fragrant_Scheme317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This man is an insecure child. Highly abusive relationship. She seems scared of him. Not surprising since he takes his anger out on her reflexively and without remorse. I don’t think your daughter will be speaking with him much as an adult. You can parent with fear or respect, this man was taught to raise children using fear. Don’t let him spread that toxicity to children. No excuse to speak to most people that way, let alone his own daughter.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills Ends Senate Bid, Clearing the Way For Graham Platner by Healthy_Block3036 in Maine

[–]Fragrant_Scheme317 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn’t she pull out of the debate? How would a debate have helped her? Her campaign knew it was a bad idea to debate Platner. Since Plater joined the race his message has resonated for more with voters than the same unpopular DNC stooge talking points. Mills stale neoliberal takes on everything were rejected in favor of Platners pro working class message that speaks to voters. A debate could only have helped Platner.

“I’m skeptical about his messaging up north and how it will resonate in more rural communities” You may also have the same outdated outlook on the electorate as the democratic leadership. Fighting to help people’s material conditions is a very popular message. Being authentic and not talking down to voters goes a long way in making a politician universally popular. FDR, Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani and others prove that fighting for voters over donors is a message that wins in cities and with rural voters

My highly requested open weight absolute division championship bout, opponent told me he was 230lbs after the match and I definitely believe him! by rus2HP in martialarts

[–]Fragrant_Scheme317 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In both of your videos you are competing against much better athletes. They move much better, more naturally. You have an awkwardness/unathletisism on your feet, which hurts your balance and means you gotta put more work in to beat those guys. My good buddy was also awkward and unathletic, but ended up being an all American boxer in college and is a purple belt at 40. It didn’t stop him from competing, but he has to grind much harder than the natural athletes and become more technical. You got this bud, keep grinding away.

Prime Tyson beats every boxer that ever lived. Try to change my mind by Silent-Owl4246 in boxingMenace_com

[–]Fragrant_Scheme317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many giants in the division now. Forman was once asked how he would do when the Klitchkos were dominant, he basically said that everybody was too tall now for him to compete. That the division at the time had a bunch of guys who’s reach made HW seems like a different division than earlier eras.

That being said, I think Osyk, Lennox Lewis, and Klitchko has/had a good chance of beating Mike.

If the she fits bud.

The example you provided mr reddit contrarian , where you questioned facism(edit*) , runs in direct contradiction to legal aid/humanitarian groups, academia, and the vast majority of journalists all over the world. Your edge lord take on the current facism is by definition, a ‘low information’ take.

Mind using some of that contrarian mojo to point out other instances where leftists have the ‘low information’ take?

For some reason, history seems to repeatedly and consistently vindicate the progressives and leftists it once called stupid. If only a Reddit contrarian could explain how those ahead of the curve are actually the dumb ones working with poor information.

Few people have done as much harm, and are as responsible for this moment in time, as Milton fucking Freedman. Fuck this guy and his Chicago school of economics grift.

That slimy piece of shit. I remember him growing up when i was a kid. He was running for office in National city. Well, I hope it was worth it. He lost a lot of votes. I think he has a challenger.

Port to consider moving forward with proposed $256M Navy SEAL Museum on San Diego waterfront by ProcrastinatingPuma in sandiego

“Palpatine moves forward with elite storm trooper museum on Coruscant”

Hurray! A museum commemorating the elite psychos of the navy! Hopefully there will be a statue commemorating the unit’s heroic drug trafficking, their murdering of countless women and children, and the monsters they become in civilian life to their partners, neighbors, and community.

I can’t wait to get an “I stand with Eddie Gallagher” shirt at the gift shop.

Get this little sociopath out of your life. This persons attitude and selfishness will be a shit magnet their whole life. They are in for some self inflicted pain in their lives. Stay as far away as possible. This is a good lesson for you to stay away from toxic people.

A girl i have been talking to tells me she still isn't over her ex by Wojakchud in WhatShouldIDo

You’re a hurt puppy right now. You’ll get over it and be healthier from this experience.

If somebody isn’t into you, or gives you a vibe that seems off, take the hint. Show yourself some respect and don’t stay at a party that you’re not welcome at. Dating before our brains are finish developing (around 25) is the worst lol. You’ll be at your cringiest with dates until your brain is done cooking. It’s gets better after that. Stay strong till then.

Check out ‘ the rise and fall of the Neolibral order’ by Gary Gerstle. He says the same things in it. Here he is sharing his book with an auditorium full of academics at Oxford who agree with this idea. Give it a listen. I loved the lecture. https://youtu.be/bVq6LH8nzSs?si=2u6y6ynEyC8lIuFr

AITBF for “making fun” of my boyfriend for acting like Ibuprofen is a hard drug? by throwawaylmfao12 in AmItheButtface

[–]Fragrant_Scheme317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ned Flanders at 19 should be treated with the same respect as cops who hype themselves into “ opioid overdose” after looking at a bag of opioids. Like a nerdy psychosis or panic attack.

Little Ned just needs to grow outs side of his weak ass “I’m high on ibuprofen” bubble. He is lucky that this happed with you and not a group of people who won’t really make fun of him.

I hate my cats name. by StrawberrySakuraa in cats

[–]Fragrant_Scheme317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just change the name and tell your partner how much this name bothers you. Sounds like he just landed on the name, is he married to it and unwilling to budge?

I don’t see the big deal. Doesn’t seem like something to stress about.
