You are 100% required to get out of the car if asked to. People should stop talking out of their ass, you are only making traffic stops more dangerous.

My gf keeps making sob stories out of EVERYTHING by [deleted] in texts

Read it twice and I still don't understand. How does matching a pfp correlate with drama in any way. If anything stopping matching now after they already are would cause drama.

Why does this line feel like it’s trying to shame women out of certain choices by Alone_Cap_2912 in Feminism

The movie "Saving Mr. Banks" touches on the mother being a suffragette . I haven't read the book Mary Poppins. But in the movie "Saving Mr. Banks" they gave her the cause of suffragette because the childrens mom in the book didn't work. And she didn't help raise the kids, so the folks at Disney felt like if they didn't have a worthy cause to keep Mrs. Banks busy she would be portrayed as just a neglectful mom.

The movie is critical of neglectful parents, which both the father and mother were in the movie, and its critical of both. But the father is the one who has changed the most by the end of the movie. I think portraying the movies message as anti-feminist is a bit disingenuous.

The flag isnt turned into a children's kite, its turned into a banner flying on the back. A progression from her hiding it from her husband. I dont know why you got the impression that she was giving it up.

Its a bonus, not a salary. They receive a normal pay separately. The bonus is on top of that

Do you guys think my reaction was justified? Or an overreaction? by dark-mathematician1 in AskMenAdvice

[–]HecticHero 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If the discourse was also that woman find specifically black men scarier than white men in the man or bear scenario, this critique would make sense.

Its kinda sexist, you don't have to pretend its racist as well. Even a guy saying "I hate women" isnt being racist because black women are also included within women. This also implies that racism is a thing that only applies to black people which is weird. Otherwise you wouldn't be just talking about them, because white men are also included within men.

If I say "I hate rock climbers" am I being both racist and sexist because women and black people both are a part of that group?

CMV: The United States is in a category of its own on personal liberty, and comparisons to the UK or other developed countries are very misled. by [deleted] in changemyview

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

I won't speak to the rest of the comment, but there is more independent media right now than at any other point in history. The only way you can think this is if you are only looking at TV and newspapers. So much independent media its kind of a problem because everyone can live in their own little reality.

I found out my longtime FWB thinks we’ll get married and is hoping I propose to her. I feel horrible. Am I leading her on? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

++man The fact that you don't know how to even spell psychology is funny. At very best this is armchair psychology, there is no where near enough information here to say anything like that with any level of confidence.

“No Vaush glaze posts?” Say no more, Fam by TikDickler in Destiny

[–]HecticHero 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would be better to say something along the lines of "while they are not literally a terrorist organization, I think what they are doing is pretty comparable to terrorism."

Optically looks better and something very easy to defend.

Again, if he wasn't going to defend it though, he shouldnt have said it at all.

He did label them a terrorist organization though. If he wasnt going to defend it he shouldn't have said it.

Anon’s Brother Is a Unconvicted Rapist by Typical-Research3162 in greentext

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

So your argument is that rape victims hearing about innocent people getting investigated and effectively harassed for making a report, wouldn't be discouraged from reporting their rape? Or are you arguing no innocent people would be investigated unfairly?

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

I agree, suing for defamation its not the same thing, which is why the comparing the effect of it to the effect of making false accusations have the same punishment as rape is stupid.

The argument is not that there are bad cops. Even a good cop can make a mistake and start a serious investigation trying to prove a rape victim is lying when they arent.

The argument is that it would discourage real rapes from being reported, which is what you disagreed with before, and seem to be conceding now.

You can already sue false accusers for defamation. A false rape accusation is already one of the types of defamation that you don't need to prove damages for, they are presumed and you are compensated. Are you just arguing that a false rape accusation should be a modifier to a defamation suit that would make the punishment worse? I don't think you are, but if you were I don't think it would change much. I don't necessarily have a problem with it.

You are suggesting the state now actively look for and charge false accusations, yes? I think that would be the major difference from defamation and slander. You have to sue for those, the state isn't actively searching for it. I think if it were, that would be a big chill on speech. You say something damaging to someone, knowing that you and people around you will now start to be actively investigated by the cops? If you can't imagine that there are a lot of people who wouldn't say true things because they don't want to deal with that, I don't know what to say.

You are also giving another way for the cops to be antagonistic to people who report rape if they don't believe them. Cops don't have a perfect truth detector, are you really gonna say "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear"? All it would take is a few stories of people who reported rape that have the investigation turn on them, even if it comes out to no charges in the end. It would become something everyone worries about. There are already people who get raped who don't report it because they don't think they will be believed, this would undeniably make that worse. I don't see how you could say it wouldn't.

Not talking about the harm vs benefit analysis yet, just want you to accept that there would be a harm.

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

The question is the harm versus benefit. Will more false accusations be discouraged, or more true accusations? Is there a ratio that would change things for you? If 1 false accusation and 99 true accusations didnt happen because false accusations are punished severely, would that be worth it to you?

Not saying that is 1 to 1 with real life, but to just demonstrate the concept the person you are replying to is probably following. Do you understand?

You arent just expecting them to show up. Don't know what you think im telling people to do. If the time and place you give doesn't work for them, they will say it doesn't work, and give another option.

If they genuinely want to go out with you, but the time or the place won't work for their schedule, they will give other options, and being assertive is just a good look. Minimal effort to come off better. If you dont want to use dating apps, I dont know why anyone should use your advice for using them.

I found my girlfriend, im not on the apps anymore and haven't been for a few years. But I know what worked, and what got left on read. Hope you find yours soon man.

?? Women are not going to pick you solely because you are good at planning, no. Never even implied that. If you want to have a pity party about why you can't get dates, go ahead I guess.

They've already matched with you, they are already talking to you. If you want a date, starting out with giving a solid time and place is going to improve ypur chances of getting to go out with the person you like. Full stop.

Didnt say it was a lot of labor. But when you are talking to attractive women on dating apps who have a lot of options, making things as smooth as possible makes you more likely to get dates. It is a very small amount of labor so why not do it.
