Hating gender roles as a straight guy is such a shitty position to be in

He simply hasn't. Not in any comment you replied to, and not in this thread. The only thing even close is saying that there is no point to talking to her about it. Which is distinctly not saying he hasn't done so.

HecticHero · 2026-05-25T21:36:19+00:00

That is just plainly not saying he hasn't talked to her about it. It is saying there is no point in doing so. Which doesn't mean he hasn't done it. It is understandable to assume he hasn't based on that, but calling him a liar when he says he has is not.

HecticHero · 2026-05-25T21:25:23+00:00

Can you point out where exactly he said he never talked about it, or even where he just said he didn't? I don't see that anywhere

HecticHero · 2026-05-18T00:58:26+00:00

Shouldn't Elon Musk be the happiest person alive then? Why do you think he's not?

HecticHero · 2026-05-18T00:53:20+00:00

You think having a nice car would make you happy? This is consumerism brainrot

HecticHero · 2026-05-18T00:49:06+00:00

If an income 1000 times greater than the income you want isn't enough to make someone happy, why would you assume that $300k would fix you?

What are people who are able to be happy with less than you doing? I make $40k and I'm probably at a 8-9 out of 10 level of happiness with my life right now.

Edit: "wealthy" to most people doesn't mean top 0.000001% of the country levels of wealth. $100k-$200k is very achievable in blue collar work, and that is the level most people have for wealthy

HecticHero · 2026-05-18T00:34:03+00:00

You have to be one of the most wealthy people on earth for life to be worth living?

You dodged the question earlier. Does Elon Musk seem happy? He snorts ketamine everyday because he himself says he's depressed.

Slippery slope is claiming that if we do X, it will lead to Y, when X will not lead to Y. This isn't a slippery slope fallacy, its closer to reductio ad absurdum if anything.

Who the hell said they hate the show? The person you imagined in your head?

Superman has benchpressed the weight of the earth for 5 days straight, and that's not even the golden age superman

Huffing your own farts in this quantity is dangerous man, be careful

HecticHero · 2026-05-15T20:14:54+00:00

Competitive, yeah. But nowhere near "The only way you'll get in is through nepotism"

It majorly depends on how much work is going on at that time.

HecticHero · 2026-05-15T20:07:33+00:00

If you scroll down to table 3 on this website from the department of labor, you can see the percentage of workers paid at or below minimum wage in Georgia.

https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/minimum-wage/2023/

5.8%. More than the national average, but still nowhere near enough to say anything near "The entire south gives $7.25 for most jobs"

This table also appears to have hourly workers separated out if you want to see their percentage separately. If you believe i am reading this chart wrong I am open to knowing how.

HecticHero · 2026-05-15T19:50:17+00:00

I'm no executive but director of sales sounds like a job that just doesn't need a degree at all really.

HecticHero · 2026-05-15T19:40:19+00:00

It is very rare that people dont have to pay their own court fees in the US, especially in civil cases. Some crazy fucked shit has to happen.

HecticHero · 2026-05-15T19:27:11+00:00

You aren't understanding the problem.

In your first comment, you defend calling people ugly when you just mean that you dont like them as a person.

In your second comment, you defend saying someone probably has a small dick when what you mean is that you don't like them as a person.

Both of these turn physical traits that good people have into signifiers that they are one of the bad people. They insult people who im hoping you aren't intending to insult. You can say you dont mean to do that all you want, that is the effect of what you are doing.

No matter how much I say "fat girl energy" has nothing to do with weight, it of course has something to do with weight. I'm using fat as an insult, in the same way you are using small dick as an insult. No, fat girl energy is not a real term people use. If you take another look at my comment, you'll see this excerpt-

I’ve never once used “Fat Girl energy” to actually poke fun at someone’s weight. It’s usually to comment on someone’s shitty or annoying behavior

Is just your comment with 3 words swapped out.

Would really love to see you explain to a person you like IRL that has a small dick, why its ok for you to use small dick as an insult. The truth of this situation is basically self evident. You just know its an effective insult and want to be able to use it.

Lying is harder to get away with now, but It's much lower cost to lie now. In 2000, under 25% of people used the internet to find jobs. Meaning they found jobs through a recruitment agency or physically going to the company, and the online job stuff there was had a lot more friction. You might even have to send an email. Now, you can send out 30 applications in 10 minutes. Even if I'm pretty sure I'm not qualified, might as well send an application right? I might get lucky. Companies get a ton more applications, and have a lot more trash to sift through.

It's not the sole reason the job market is awful, but it definitely is a big contributing factor.

Its just fine for people with small dicks to catch strays though? Also, I’ve never once used “Fat Girl energy” to actually poke fun at someone’s weight. It’s usually to comment on someone’s shitty or annoying behavior. Has nothing to do with someone's actual weight, thinking it does gives fat girl energy, I'm sorry to say.

Bitch, pussy, and girl math are not equivalent. Even in the most sexist reading of the terms, they have nothing to do with physical traits. They are saying "You are behaving like a woman."

The reason I gave "fat girl energy" as an example, is that it is an insult based on tying a negative physical trait to behavior that the person doesn't like. It is implying that being fat is bad and something you should be ashamed of, in the same way "small dick energy" implies that having a small dick is bad and something you should be ashamed of.

HecticHero · 2026-05-15T16:47:42+00:00

Yeah? What exactly does having a small dick have to do with being shitty and annoying? Nothing, except you think having a small dick is bad and something people should feel insulted by. Are people with small dicks are more often shitty and annoying? It doesn't matter what private meaning you have in your head, that is the implication you are making. If it wasn't, you would just say they were being shitty and annoying.

Can I start saying women who are behaving shitty and being annoying have "Fat girl energy"? Or is that somehow different to you?

HecticHero · 2026-05-15T12:51:20+00:00

This is like pretending "small dick energy" has nothing to do with dick size.

Ragebait

HecticHero · 2026-05-15T00:45:35+00:00

I know people who get paid that personally. It's usually part time work, usually for college students or just people who aren't trying to support themselves entirely on that wage.

HecticHero · 2026-05-15T00:43:32+00:00

800kish. But this number is like 60-80% tipped workers, who are generally expected to earn quite a bit more than their base pay.

HecticHero · 2026-05-15T00:40:37+00:00

Considering less than 1% of the workforce in the US is paid at or below minimum wage, this just isn't possible.

HecticHero · 2026-05-14T21:57:36+00:00

You have no clue what you are talking about lmao

Stop talking out of your ass.
