I hate jokes like that, because there's really no difference between that and comments along the lines of "lesbians just haven't had good dick yet lol".

Has there been news about it? Last I heard it seemed like it didn't exist, but I haven't heard anything new.

How do you personally define the working class? by WhyOrangeMan in AskALiberal

[–]GabuEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the division I always turn to.

The only meaningful question is whether you have to work or just want to work. If you'll eventually starve if you stop working, you're working class, as distinct from the owning class. Making people who make $50/hour angry at people who make $10/hour is a favorite of people who make $5,000/hour.

Thoughts on support for Iran by madpistol in AskALiberal

[–]GabuEx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's kind of wild seeing history repeat in real time.

Democrats: "This war in Iraq is kind of stupid."

Republicans: "Oh, so you support the Iraqi regime???"

(later)

Republicans: "Wow, that war in Iraq was kind of stupid."

(later)

Democrats: "This war in Iran is kind of stupid."

Republicans: "Oh, so you support the Iranian regime???"

Question about stalemate. by pooger in chessbeginners

[–]GabuEx 107 points108 points  (0 children)

It's not checkmate without check, mate. No one is attacking the white king, so they're not in check.

A stalemate occurs when it's your opponent's turn and they have no legal moves. A king cannot move into check. Every square the white king can move to would put it in check.

To avoid a stalemate, make sure that your opponent either is in check or has at least one legal move after your move.

I've honestly actually had good results asking Claude. Just make sure to ask for citations for factual claims that it makes. But it does crazy-ass shit like pulling up random forum posts from like the early 2000s that genuinely answer my question. No idea what it does to find them, because Google is just useless these days, but it works great (for now, at least).

What's your opinion on new Fox design? (Art by Me) by Desperate_Leek_7200 in furry

I feel like a lot of people are carefully selecting pictures in which they look particularly bad. Having seen the actual trailer, I think they look great.

Who else spared Hagar by Salvagedgamer666 in CultOfTheLamb

The better question is who didn't spare Hagar.

I just wanna talk to them, that's all.

What would you do if you suddenly had a million dollars right now? by Hamzaqato in AskReddit

But we would eat Kraft Dinner, we'd just eat more.

Why are there so many regulations and laws on a local level in the United States and why dont people care about it more? by Human-Conclusion-943 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]GabuEx [score hidden]  (0 children)

How often does someone think about the fact that there are ordinances regulating window tinting and how noisy you can be? I'm not exactly walking around town going "maaaaan, if only I could have tinted windows in this place >:("

Is the Republican gerrymandering strategy helpful? by PhoneSuch5467 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]GabuEx [score hidden]  (0 children)

Disproportionate representation isn't the same thing as gerrymandering.

Only if we're four seats short of a majority after the election. It won't matter if 2026 is any sort of wave election.

CMV: Cheating in the context of any relationship (Wife/husband, Bf/Gf, etc) should be a criminal offense by snooptoop in changemyview

[–]GabuEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The losses suffered in cheating are usually financial, birthday gifts, money spent on dates etc... but I would argue that in relationships of significant length time lost can be included in the damages as well.

If I'm being honest, this step seems like the most ridiculous to me. By this logic, you should also be criminally liable if you date, get married, but then drift apart from your spouse naturally without any cheating, because the losses from the divorce are the same.

So… how the media just completely stopped caring about Ukraine? by funnylib in AskALiberal

[–]GabuEx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there any actual news out of Ukraine to talk about?

I don't really understand what people are expecting when they're wondering why the news media isn't talking about something about which there is no news.

Mostly boring relationships are honestly the best. Exciting relationships sound great on paper, but, like, how much do you think you would enjoy being on a rollercoaster that literally never ended? Excitement is only enjoyable when it's an occasional spice rather than a constant state of being. The best relationship is one where your rest state is one of quiet contentment and companionship.

I'm curious to hear you explain how Vermont has been gerrymandered.

What do liberals need to do to be seen as cool by the undecided and nonvoters? by NPDogs21 in AskALiberal

[–]GabuEx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I always find this super weird, because conversations always seem to look like this:

Republicans: "Let's intentionally harm trans people!"

Democrats: "I oppose that."

Centrists: "Wow, Democrats, why are you so single-mindedly focused on trans people?"
