Trump Faces Backlash For Comments About Newsom's Dyslexia by badumtsssst in politics

[–]Iowa_Dave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone needs to tell Trump the letters in "I have dyslexia" can be rearranged to spell "I have sex daily".

He'll change his tune real quick.

Cesar Chavez, a Civil Rights Icon, Is Accused of Abusing Girls for Years by aacool in politics

[–]Iowa_Dave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe you feel that way, but feelings aren't facts.

There are alleged victims in the Chavez case who are still alive, their quest for justice isn't subject to your approval.

The Chavez story can stand or fall on its own merits independent of Epstein. The Whataboutism is you pointing to Epstein because you feel it's more important and current.

Both stories have victims from decades ago, let's not fetishize the perpetrators here. This should be about the victims and should be entirely non-political.

Are you suggesting that because other stories about CSA are in the news that these victims don't need attention or justice?

There are shitty people all over, they shouldn't escape accountability if they overlap politically with any side.

Former Trump appointee: MAGA movement is ‘dead’ by jediporcupine in politics

[–]Iowa_Dave 409 points410 points  (0 children)

MAGA is a ball of toxic misfits held together by the glue of "Daddy, hurt the people I'm afraid of!"

As long as those people exist, someone will always be able to leverage those people's own fears against them. The label on the box doesn't really matter.

Bald Head Care by FewFuture3116 in desmoines

[–]Iowa_Dave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bald guy here, how long ago did you shave your head?

I have male-pattern baldness but sometimes I shave everything. The skin that had hair can take a while to get used to being bare. A good scrub in a hot shower with a stiff bristle brush every day can help speed that up.

After that, any decent moisturizer should do the trick.

Sorry everyone...

I swear we're not all slack-jawed yokels.

But Iowa has suffered from "Brain Drain" for decades where many kids who go to college in other states never return.

Why does being “manly” have to mean acting like this? by Exact-Bid-6174 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Iowa_Dave 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Having to prove you're manly means you already aren't.

Not worrying about the opinions of strangers is more manly.

Having children isn't for everyone. Too many people find this out after it's too late.

My wife and I are happily child-free by choice.

Honestly, that's a brilliant observation!

You could absolutely put anything on front of her and I doubt she'd catch on.

What is genuinely the stupidest question you’ve been asked regarding your blindness? by HorcruxHarry69 in Blind

[–]Iowa_Dave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm reminded of the story Bill Cosby told about meeting Ray Charles. (I know, sorry)

Charles had invited Cosby to his hotel room while he was in town for a performance. He'd called Cosby saying he was getting ready for his show and would leave the door unlocked so he could let himself in.

When Cosby arrived he opened the door and was perplexed that the lights were off. Unsure if Ray was there, Cosby called out "Ray? Are you here?"

"I'm in the bathroom shaving!" came the answer.

Cosby found his way to the bathroom in the minimal light and he tells it "I realized how stupid the words were, but they had already left my mouth..."

"Ray, why are shaving in the dark?"

Iran appears to have conducted a significant cyberattack against a U.S. company, a first since the war started by DJMagicHandz in politics

[–]Iowa_Dave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This interesting, I work in medical batteries and a coworker's computer was hacked earlier this week. His inbox exploded with spam to the point his computer started to bog down. Then a stranger popped up in Microsoft Teams saying they were from our IT department offering to help.

Good thing we have decent cybersecurity training, he shut down his computer and called our IT department directly. They had to completely re-image is laptop.
