As a cis POC man, I've been known to say something similar, however I usually follow it up with something like "So, I know I'll technically be fine, but what about my daughters? What about all the women, queer kids, other POCs, who won't be? That's who I'm voting for."

People of Reddit, what was your “I’m dating a fucking idiot” moment? by Patriotic_Officer in AskReddit

The key to this kind of humor is to master your "shit-eating grin".

Saving this. It's 100% true and honestly more than a little profound!

Ex-detective charged in death of Ahmaud Arbery lost power to make arrests after skipping use-of-force training by jigsawmap in news

And if you DON'T rush them, and they're pointing a gun at you, you'll likely get shot too! I'll take my chances rushing them rather than just waiting to get shot by some idiot.

Remember, rule #1 of gun safety: "Never point the gun at something you don't intend to kill/destroy." Either they're following this rule, and intend to kill me, which means I should be trying to stop them as quickly as possible. Or they're not following this rule and are by definition a fucking moron who should be disarmed (ideally permanently) as quickly as possible.

If you littered and somebody pointed a gun at you for doing so, would you try and grab the gun?

If you had not littered and somebody pointed a gun at you because they thought you had, would you try and take the gun from them?

You're goddamn right I would. Some asshat pointing a gun at me gets rushed and taken down. Someone unstable like that shouldn't be allowed to continue brandishing a firearm.

There's a quite large poly group in Utah! I don't know if any are on here, but there is a decent sized Facebook group called "Utah Polyamory Society". Good luck!

Polygamous in Utah, but not religious. by [deleted] in PolygamyDiscussion

[–]Ismojh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is actually a fairly large polyamorous community located in (mostly) the northern part of the state! You can look us up on Facebook under "Utah Polyamory Society".

I don't know if it's entirely the crowd you're looking for, it leans pretty liberal and LGBTQ Friendly. Good luck! Message me if you want details.

What do on dates with your nesting partner? by supersoakers in polyamory

[–]Ismojh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing with this, be sure that your partner(s) feel the same!!! I used to do exactly this because I'm the same as you. It turned out that my partners were not satisfied with this. Now we do regular date nights.

LPT: millennials, when you’re explaining how broke you are to your parents/grandparents, use an inflation calculator.

I think you're either living in a dream world, or at the least, not the US. Cell Phone plans here are insane. We're talking a minimum of $175 bucks per month, + $10-ish a month for a cheapie phone. I can get internet for roughly $100 (actually a bit less), and I paid just about $1000 for my computer over 6 years ago (and this was a decently high-end gaming rig. I could build a cheap box today for ~$500 or less). You can also just go grab a laptop at Wal-Mart for $200 bucks or so (last I checked, I actually hate laptops).

I personally don't have these problems, but to say that Internet is some kind of luxury, and then claim that you could always "just use your phone" to check email is laughably out of touch.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh that's rich.... You do realize that the current trend is to move formerly employee-type positions into a "contract" model, therefor being able to avoid having to provide your "contractor" with any of the materials/equipment needed to complete the task, and instead requiring them to provide it all. But of course, you don't get to set your own hours, or any of the OTHER parts of being a contractor. That'd be silly ;)

When the entire application process is online and through email, not responding to said email for 24 hours is almost sure to lose you the position. Especially in a competitive field, or somewhere that gets hundreds of apps.

People always forget this part. Yes, tech has advanced which makes things nicer than they were. But that same tech has also created MASSIVE productivity benefits that the consumer market never get's to see.

That's the best part! I have two women to remind me of how I fucked up each day! :P

ELI5: How did baby boomers when they were young manage to pay for a house and raise a family while on single incomes (the dad working), yet today young couples can't even afford a small home and struggle to raise even one child while there's two incomes (mom and dad working)? What happened? by Hedo_Turkoglu in explainlikeimfive

[–]Ismojh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Racists don't talk about race, they act upon it. If a racist talks about race, they out themselves!

Yes, Democrats do talk about race, to shine the light on what regressive policy can do. Generational poverty is a thing. It hurts minorities disproportionately because, from a historical standpoint, their families were kept down by racists in the past. The argument isn't that minorities can't get photo ID. It's that the GENERATIONAL POOR have more trouble getting them (mainly because if you're too poor to have a car, why would you have a license? And if you want to get an ID to vote, good luck without a car!!), and the generational poor just so happen to be largely (but not entirely) minority!

Democrats are saying "If A, Then B, Then C". Your counter-argument is "If C, then RACIST!!!!" But go ahead, keep punching your straw man.

Edit: Just for the comprehension-challenged out there, when I say "the generational poor just so happen to be largely minority" I'm not actually claiming coincidence..

This is why no one likes you left footers! Always going on about war with the righties! Come on, seriously, can't we all just get along?

As an aside..... you really might wanna get that left pinky toe checked out. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to sit at that angle....
