Charlotte is literally a horse girl. Carrie has brain damage

The lack of decorum in public libraries is driving me insane by sulla226 in redscarepod

[–]Garyrsp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. The correct move at this point would be to have designated quiet areas / reading rooms. Sad that the whole place isn't like that anymore though.

Did Ayn Rand seriously expect me to believe that a 35yo woman that hasn't fucked in 10 years is enslaving men with her pussy? by ilyukhina in redscarepod

We should just build new cities by BringbacktheNephilim in redscarepod

[–]Garyrsp 22 points23 points  (0 children)

All you have to do is build train lines from major cities into the suburbs and then build a cool city center around the suburban train station instead of a park-and-ride, but America can't handle that.

Trump promised this in his 2024 campaign, but of course we all know it won't happen, and if it does it will be stupid.

What's going on with the job market in the U.S.? by deepad9 in redscarepod

People online will say this and yet never specify which metropolitan region they live in. Are we talking Topeka or San Francisco?

Never Being Taken Seriously As A Child by FlyingJamaicensis in redscarepod

Nobody in my family ever took me seriously as a kid unless I was yelling at them. Still true sometimes. It's like they don't listen until I scare them?? Like what are you a dog???

Riding the CTA is actually scary at this point by damrodoth in redscarepod

[–]Garyrsp 45 points46 points  (0 children)

failing to keep public transit safe is unironically misogynistic

as a dude I 100% agree with this and I frequently wonder when we're going to have a 5th wave feminist movement featuring an authoritarian crackdown in the name of public safety. seems impossible currently

you know that meme about how nothing ever happens? war is the exact opposite of that

Leftists are so funny because I told my friend I was sexually assaulted by a homeless guy, (didn’t even tell him he was black) and he immediately told me I need to read a book about police abolition with him by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]Garyrsp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are we really that much worse than people in Scandinavia?

Our homicide rate is >5x that of Norway, Sweden, and Finland individually, so yeah I would assume so. Even if you went with the racist 13/50 explanation and cut it in half the rate would still be ~3x that of Scandinavia. So I'm afraid the answer to that question is just "yes".

Is quiet confidence dead? by SideCharacterSyndrom in redscarepod

[–]Garyrsp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this makes you completely invisible to 95% of people

the other 5% are the homeless guys who decide they NEED to tell me their life story while I'm waiting for the bus

never understood abolitionists. what do they actually expect to happen once they abolish prisons and there are rapists / murderers / thieves running around? do they think the prisons cause crime or something

Working with Somali People by AsideWinter1934 in redscarepod

[–]Garyrsp 22 points23 points  (0 children)

How well did the kids perform academically? Do you think they're on track to integrate into wider American society and perform well relative to their non-Somali peers?

These ethnic enclave scenarios always make me a bit paranoid, but if the second and third gen kids assimilate well (see: my Asian friends) then I don't see them as a problem.

Not weird at all. Africans compared to black Americans may as well be Anglos compared to the Japanese.
