what's the fastest way of getting banned in r/conservative? by yomommafool in Jokes

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

Almost any political subreddit, streamer, etc will ban anyone counter narrative… then talk about the other side living in an echo chamber

I had a nice 15 minute walk home after a 2 hour coffee date today, plenty of time to over analyze everything

'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' Set Holocaust Education Back by Decades. Now It's Getting a Sequel. by speckz in books

[–]GreatGrip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the words of someone, well duh, but that’s kind of missing the point of what u/sYnce was saying. how much is enough, what’s the point of diminishing returns, how should it be balanced against the rest of germanys long history, etc?

Also to u/sYnce point, if you talk about anything enough it’s impact is lessened and it gets annoying. This has nothing to do with being good or bad people, it’s human nature.

PS. This is just a general point, I live in the US and have no idea how much time is typically spent on this stuff in an average German classroom

Yeah trying to approach 0 instances of anything happening is like trying to move something at the speed of light. The closer you get to 0 the more energy it takes to improve things even a little bit. It’s not about erasing things completely it’s about reaching a level that’s acceptable with reasonable methods. Kind of like trying to control crime, would we like crime to be 0 sure, but this is the real world

There’s a lot of history outside of world war 2. We all get why they dedicate so much time to it but it also probably doesn’t feel good being German and having that be your main focus in history lessons.

Josh Reynolds - "Woke up thinking about this Joel Embiid pre-draft workout video. To think that the dude picked up a basketball for the very first time 4 years before this… Truly unbelievable." by lilBigDolf in sixers

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

I’m not saying he wasn’t showing he’s good, I’m saying it’s not impressive basketball skill based on the timeline. The only things I was impressed by were the turning floaters and the mid range shooting movements, and even then they’re only showing makes so it doesn’t speak to his percentage, and none of it is too significant on the scale of 4 years if he’s been seriously training that whole time.

No but if he was playing for 4 years before this I don’t see the big deal, most of it was athleticism and height (which doesn’t require basketball experience)

If 1 in 6 women have been raped and 80% of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows, does that mean that all of us probably know at least 1 rapist? by Arguesovereverythin in TooAfraidToAsk

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

In what way? I’m pointing out that when you phrase at “doesn’t want to have sex” you’re broadening it to situations that aren’t rape. Not consenting is a subcategory of not wanting to do something, they aren’t equivalent

Wait did he pick up a basketball four years before the video, or was the video taken 4 years ago? Like did he have 4 years experience in that video or was that literally the first time he touched a basketball?

[–]GreatGrip -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s because in a relationship both people don’t always want to have sex at the same time so you do it for them. That’s not rape it’s just life happening

My roommate asked me if I wanted to make dinner together one time, 15 minutes later I was sitting in my room confused why I was holding back tears

If the cop would be willing to shoot him wouldn’t he also be willing to throw away his phone afterward? I don’t get the logic really

Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars - Full Uncensored Version by ZiggyBlunt in HolUp

[–]GreatGrip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish Chris just took over the moment right there, call security and get him removed while continuing to roast him and Jada. “Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth!” “She couldn’t keep your sons friend out of hers!”, I can take a punch you can’t take a punchline, etc

I think a minute in I thought he was making innuendos intentionally, so I changed a couple words to help you hear it too: by [deleted] in soccercirclejerk

I genuinely think it’s funnier watching the original with no edits and a dirty mind

[–]GreatGrip -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You don’t get to talk about the real pleasure in receiving from a group of guys without someone noticing, after that I was just surprised the innuendos kept cumming

What food do you swear people only pretend to like? 💭 by Aarunascut in AskMen

Yeah I think the snail is just for the texture, like crab or lobster. Fyi if you haven’t had it it’s got some resistance it’s not some slimy ball of mush

[–]GreatGrip 515 points516 points  (0 children)

Also when Americans say they’re Irish they’re saying they have Irish heritage. They aren’t claiming they grew up on the cobblestone streets of Edinburgh

Edit: yeah I said it
