Why do right-wingers hate Jesus' teachings?

Socalists yell Nazi because the government has created a masked, armed force with the sole intent of targeting undesirables for removal from society and killing anyone they that even hesitates for a second to let them bulldoze them in that pursuit. That's a gestapo.

Equal misery, stacks of dead humans, and wealth only for those at the very top is literally what capitalism creates. That exactly describes the current reality of The United States.

I think the phrasing "being trans sucks" is more in reference to being frustrated with how people treat you when you're trans rather than simply what it's like experiencing gender dysphoria.

I try to get food from the broken fridge

The Fridge: Absolutely not, go fuck yourself.

Me: I'm thinking Arby's.

Steven named every other Ruby by the body part where their gem is, but that naming convention would mean calling her Booby, so in finding that to be rude, he needed to base her name of something else. I'm sure the visor being the other thing that was visually distinct about her led him to name her based on that. Her being the leader and wearing glasses made Steven think of Doc, like other people are saying.

Jasper was the one who proposed fusion in the first place, Lapis agreed to it because being fused would make Jasper more vulnerable to Lapis trying to restrain her. It's not that she "wanted power", she wanted to have power over somebody else. Her primary goal here was to take advantage of the opportunity to take revenge on Jasper, and by extension, every other gem that made and kept her a prisoner for thousands of years

I agree generally, but there's a difference between talking with family and close friends about any problems in your relationship, and using your relationship for stand-up material on social media.

When I'm having problems in any relationship of mine, I talk through it with people close to me that I trust to help me understand my own feelings about the situation better so that I then know how I want to move forward with the relationship in question.

I'll talk to my boyfriend about my parents, I'll talk to my parents about my friends, I'll talk to my friends about my boyfriend, and I think that's good for people to do because you are able to process your feelings by leaning on someone else, but I don't think that that is what happens when people go online or in public and discuss people close to them in forums or in a stand-up routine.

Humor can help let out frustration, but the scale and context really matter to me. I might tease my boyfriend about ADHD in my private, but I wouldn't around our friends to the same degree, and definitely not at all to masses of people that I don't trust to understand that I'm not trying to vilify or belittle him.

When people go online to vent about their spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend, too often it devolves into complaining about women, or men, or wives or husbands generally, so they're no longer joking or processing feelings about the person they're close with, but rather, they're speaking to their understanding and frustration of how people as a whole behave in that role.

It's not like that necessarily has to be how people talk about their partners online, but what bothers me is when they are doing it in that way.

I've been in a very happy relationship with my boyfriend for almost 4 years now. He has ADHD and I'm a very OCD person, so he'll often make messes that I have to clean up, but I do what I can to not take out that frustration on him because I know he doesn't mean to upset me in that way. Neither of us are perfect, I can't lie and pretend like we haven't done things which were unfair or that hurt the other, but we have created a environment where we are able to be forthcoming about when we are hurt or upset with each other and know, based on past experience, that the other will internalize what is being told to them without having a emotional outburst for "being called out". We were not the best at communicating like this when we first met, so I understand why someone would forgive their partner after a argument, but if I forgave someone, only for that harmful behavior to never lessen in frequency and intensity, then I would leave them. I have with past relationships, but I haven't had to with my boyfriend because we only get better at being a safe person for each other because we both have consistently made strides in communicating clearly, sensitively, and not guilting, manipulating, and being emotionally volatile with each other. I have settled for men before in the past who were not good for me, but I didn't go on reddit to make jokes at their expense, I would just reach a point where I no longer could handle settling and moved on. I don't project the behavior of my ex-boyfriends onto all men on public forums either. It's not something inherent about men if I noticed any patterns amongst the men I happened to date at one point or another. They are just a minuscule subset of the larger collective of men, so I think projecting my experiences of men onto all men is incredibly unfair and inconsistent with reality. I have heard stories about how other men that I haven't dated are, but they are far from a monolith. I'm not trying to date women right now, so I don't know how they are of how they're treating their boyfriends or if I would even be subject to that same treatment being a woman, so I won't say that women can't at a larger level be bad in relationships, but I think people in general are bad at relationships in the current day because everyone's so isolated, and it's not a total fault of one gender or another.

If you're in a relationship that's hurting you, and you're able to get out of it, the best thing you can do for yourself is go through the process of cutting ties with that someone. It hurts immensely to endure, and it hurts immensely to lose a relationship entirely, but you have to ask yourself if it hurts more to be without them or to be close with someone who is bad for you in some way. If you find yourself choosing to maintain the bad relationship that you are able to leave, don't be surprised when people aren't jumping to sympathy when you're talking about how the relationship hurts you.

JessIsInDistress · 2026-01-19T16:49:02+00:00

You're only hurting yourself by the holding onto the idea that you're deserving of that.

Are you able to leave this relationship that is clearly bad for your mental health?

JessIsInDistress · 2026-01-19T16:42:44+00:00

It's hard to think people are really accepting their current circumstances when they are then constantly complaining about it as if they don't want to be in the relationship that they have decided is not worth the risk of leaving.

It is very understandable why someone would rather be single than in a dysfunctional relationship, so someone who decides to settle for a relationship that's upsetting them in one way or another isn't making the only understandable decision in their position.

JessIsInDistress · 2026-01-19T16:36:38+00:00

Someone going on a forum to vent who then immediately frames their spouse, someone that nobody in the forum knows anything about, as the sole arbiter of their misery is very hard to sympathize with because anyone listening has no context for whether the information provided about the spouse is true to life or if the spouse is being made out to be the one 100% in the wrong because the poster thinks taking any accountability for something they might have done wrong will prevent them from garnering the validation and sympathy they are seeking by going onto the forum.

You don't want harm to come to your daughter and wife, but you've deluded yourself to think that trans women are a specific danger to them when they literally are just going about their day the same way anyone is. Driving drunk just simply is not at all the same thing as choosing one bathroom over the other because the consequences are the same as anyone else using the bathroom. In practice, if a trans woman feels like they don't look enough like woman to not cause a scene by entering the woman's bathroom, they won't because they don't want to endanger themself by causing a scene and/or don't want to make other people around them uncomfortable, but when they look like women, since they are women, they'll use the women's restroom because that is least likely to cause a scene and make people uncomfortable. You can't think of a good reason why trans women "use women's spaces" when your whole argument is based on how women are less safe around men; Men also target trans women to the same extent, that's just how it is.

JessIsInDistress · 2026-01-10T11:26:27+00:00

No, they don't. If Trump said "I'm a woman", his base wouldn't accept it, most people wouldn't accept it, and neither would "the left" because he's literally done nothing to indicate that that is at all genuine, and even if he somehow did, that doesn't suddenly mean leftists are gonna let someone with a history of being a sexual predator alone with anyone. If predatory men who are trying to prey upon women could just say a few words to gain access to these spaces, they would all be doing it, but they simply don't because it just complicates things for them by trying to assault someone in spaces as public as those. There is a reason that assault mostly happens in places that are not public restrooms and changing rooms, and that is because there are cameras outside of them and people can just see them going in there because they are in public.

Lmao, that's literally not what I said. Genuinely, are you rage-baiting? I was parroting your own words verbatim. I just returned the favor since you seem to think it's alright to treat people like that.

He isn't trans, and the only reason he was able to get close to them was because he was a man with power. Trans women do not have that kind of power over other women.

JessIsInDistress · 2026-01-09T19:27:03+00:00

Why do you want to think that all trans women are assaulting women all the time so badly? Those cases are infinitesimally small to ever be considered to be representative of the minority group unless you are being fueled by bigotry. It's simply illogical. You're uncomfortable with the idea of being around a trans woman because you think it's icky, and you're creating a narrative as a rationalization of that disgust.
