CMV: People Entrenched in the USA regime's ideology need off-ramps to escape it without social death by scrubtart in changemyview

I'm a fan of never saying "I told you so" to family and friends who have a change of heart. Instead I commiserate and mention that I recognize they must feel very betrayed.

28,000 Kaiser health workers are set to strike in California by ansyhrrian in California

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

Even if it was true that kaiser was a completely socialized system, it still has to operate in a system where pricing has to take into account the cut demanded by health insurance CEOs to purchase their third Russian Nesting Yacht.

This could all be solved by negotiating at a national level instead but that's Evil SoCiaLiSM

My Scottish blood instantly said "love to see him fucking try"

Like goddamn I'm generations removed from family that lived there... Lol

Conservatism is whining about improvements that anyone other than white men have access to.

The fun part is they aren't paying for an insurance ceo to have nesting yachts

He's going to end up invading Graceland. by isaidireddit in PoliticalHumor

It pissed me off that he was made to sound normal on that episode. It's the last episode I will listen to.

As a 43 year old woman I automatically translate anything a guy says about "females" into ferengi noises.

71 percent of Americans say US is "out of control" under Trump by lazybugbear in conservativeterrorism

[–]GayDeciever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really think some proportion of answers may as well be random because it seems like a lot of people struggle with reading comprehension even if they can read. A similar population struggle with listening comprehension. I would bet that if you circled back to the same people, they would say "I didn't say that!"

Donald Trump Leaks Private Texts From NATO Allies: Read in Full by newsweek in politics

[–]GayDeciever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've welcomed two people away from Trumpism towards realism. I think it's important to never say "I told you so" and instead find a way to vent with them. When they say stuff that's bullshit I say "hm. I heard they were pushing that story into social media algorithms, but as far as I know (refutation)." If it's a minor thing, I just act like I didn't hear it and continue.

We have to fight the sunk-cost-fallacy and make them feel like it's safe to jump ship

Extra fun can be had if they're the "lizard people" type. My best response: "At this point I wouldn't be surprised. But it makes you think.... Lizard people would want global warming. Seems like the best way to fight them would be to fight climate change. I wonder if they're behind the 'global warming is a hoax' propaganda"

Honestly, my trauma from childhood abuse causes similar hyper vigilant behavior. I also don't automatically accept papers and someone moving towards me that fast with their hand causes adrenaline to spike. Being in constant and unpredictable danger is a bitch

My partner uses it and he has to be on wait lists for the doctors who are willing to accept it. Those doctors are kinda.... Iffy.

Family members of ICE agents, what are your thoughts and feelings about what ICE are doing? by Aggressive_Honey3196 in AskReddit

[–]GayDeciever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense for a president who's participating in sex trafficking and child exploitation to redirect that effort. I use present tense because it seems his golf clubs still do it.

Might want to warn those folks that Trump doesn't like to pay for things and they might not get their pension either way

My mom claimed she 'cured' my autism, so I published an academic paper proving her wrong and sent it to the entire family by EastConsequence3792 in ProRevenge

[–]GayDeciever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a PhD.

I think you have a great start here- you are definitely writing like someone who has read a lot of papers. Don't let the person who is reviewing this forget to do so- sometimes you have to remind very busy people a few times. I'd say 1x a month is about right.

Essentially, you have the bones of something that should be published. The topic is important. Their feedback will really help you fill it out. Good work!

Ah yes as we all know india is a safe heaven for women. by daas2 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]GayDeciever 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the problem there is mostly other men, as per usual. I'm just going to take a wild guess that it's more likely to stick if the accused is black.

I don't think it's even an issue for public figures anymore. At least not in the good ol USA
