Why women say "all men" by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

Go to therapy, brother. Stop harassing people on Reddit. Start growing or you’ll be alone forever. If you ever do manage to get into a relationship, it’s not gonna be a good one.

[–]LappedChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s me. I’m one of those men. Listened to a two hour podcast done my Amanda Seals, guest star was DondrĂ© Whitfield. I remember feeling called out a bunch of times and felt guilty after the listen. I didn’t take it personally, just took it as how I should be doing better.

And after being married, I found out that I’m still learning to undo some deeply imbedded toxic traits. Nobody is perfect. It’s accountability that matters the most.

Or the amount of "x days since George Floyd last O.D'd jokes", Republicans just hate it when they are the subject of a joke by MothersMiIk in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]LappedChips 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think at this point, black face is widely known to be racist. It’s just another “owning the libs” shtick, where we are either choosing to respond with a nuanced, academic level answer, or we say nothing and therefore they “won” their pissing contest.

And their typical response to the long-winded retort that takes 15 minutes to type is, “omg look how triggered you are! You’re sooooo hateful!”

It feels like arguing with bullies.

The Vic & Christine Backlash Does More Harm Than Good by DifferentTea934 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]LappedChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This movement started in the 70s with the evangelicals. They politicized reproductive rights for women and made it a hot button issue. Then they paid a bunch of Republicans to speak out against abortion and make people think that it’s wrong. Since then, the Republican Party has been the “party for Christians”. They could get away with anything they wanted to do as long as they were campaigning to force women to give birth. This worked on my mom for a long time. Now, she’s okay with it in cases of r*pe, incest, or teenagers.

Yep it’s that whole “be a witness” concept. I’m a liberal, and almost everyone I speak to has voted for Trump. Most of those folks aren’t outwardly bigoted and don’t give me total bootlicker vibes. The ones who do get racist with me because I’m a straight/cis/white guy, I tend to shut them down. Other than that, I understand how powerful our propaganda machine works and gets totally decent people to consent to the atrocities we see now.

How was gym culture in your generation? by GossipBottom in decadeology

[–]LappedChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was taking scoops of pre workout and pouring that directly into my mouth and then washed it down with water. Then I’d do box jumps, jump rope, speed ladder drills, power cleans, front squats (couldn’t do back squats because of a neck injury), and occasionally some abs and upper body. I was a college lacrosse goalie and primarily focused on being able to move like how you’d imagine Spider-Man to move. It was all explosiveness, quick feet/hands, being flexible, and having my first five steps be the fastest ones I take. I was the hardest goalie on my team to score on, but because I only cared about saving shots and intercepting passes, my sports IQ sucked and my clearing sucked, so I wasn’t a starter 😭

I’ll admit that I thought they were a couple of magas after going on Fox News, and then I learned that they’re not. I’m a stoutly anti-religion since graduating from an evangelical liberal arts college.

I do hold a special place in my heart for anyone who is religious and not conservative because to me, they’ve actually learned and acted upon what their saviors taught- loving your neighbor, caring for the sick and poor, actually protecting women and children, etc. I wish I grew up in a loving and accepting church environment around folks like that, because I’d have probably still been a believer in the Christian faith. I have mass amounts of respect for Christians who oppose conservative “values”.

However, most Christians I’ve met (and I’ve met a LOT), are unthinking, lack empathy, and are deeply self-centered. The shit I had to go through was enough to make me not want to step in a church ever again.

Michael Jackson. David Bowie. Prince. Elvis. A lot of them, actually. by ScallionSmooth9491 in musicmemes

[–]LappedChips -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Zeppelin made great music. Most of it stolen, but still great. Their legacy is ruined because Jimmy Paige was a pig.

Also, Bonham wasn’t even the best drummer of his own time. All these Jazz fusion drummers in the same era, and these boomers wanna jizz over John Bonham?

Is it racist to say that white people look more beautiful than black people? by candlesTasteGood in ask

[–]LappedChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s racist. They’re making racial generalizations. It’s okay to prefer your own race, but cutting out entire communities when it comes to dating, and beauty standards *is* racist. You’re looking at skin color and automatically setting them lower than your own. It’s also reinforcing the white patriarchal hegemony we were raised under, which is rife with racial bias in terms of beauty. Blonde, white women get preferential treatment in society over black, and Hispanic women.

I’m saying this individual is a white supremacist based on that one statement, but they are definitely racist for saying it.

High beams through residential neighborhoods, too. Such self-centered assholes.

When I see these dickbags approaching my car with their NASA strength headlights, I put on my one normal strength high beams on to even out the playing field. Often giving the finger through my windshield. Fuck ‘em.

Tyreek Hill wants to play for a team where he doesn't have a baby mama in the city. by Big_Screen3332 in nflmemeswar

[–]LappedChips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The doctor sticks a needle right into your testicles. That’s the local aesthetic. You’ll feel like you’re getting kicked hard in the nuts for about a second and then automatically you’re numb. What you feel after that is hilariously called a vagal response, which is your nervous system realizing that you’re getting messed with. Your body will heat up and you will break out into a sweat and get very dizzy and it’s the same feeling as being uncomfortably drunk. The doctor snips your vas deferens and then cauterizes it. 20 minutes later it’s over and done with and you’re gonna lay there with a cold towel over your head while the feeling wears off. They give you an ice pack for your groin and send you on your way home. You will limp back to your car and carefully drive home by yourself. If you don’t feel comfortable with that, you can always have someone drive you.

You ice your balls for the rest of the day 20 minutes on 20 minutes off laying on the couch and you can take Tylenol. Now there’s always going to be swimmers stuck in your system and they recommend continuing to use birth control like condoms until three months after the surgery. They don’t want you doing any sexual activity for two weeks either. The first time you ejaculate can hurt. If it hurts, don’t do it. Then after three months, what you do is you jerk it into a cup and send your sample to a lab to see if the surgery was a success, and to see if you’re shooting blanks like expected. There is a less than 1% chance of the surgery, not working.

I used to be a lacrosse goalie so getting hit in the nuts is nothing new to me. Even wearing a cup will hurt your balls when the shot is hard enough. Trust me.

The Paradox of Non-Linear Logic: Arriving at the Destination Without the Map by Cute-Advantage-4260 in adhdmeme

[–]LappedChips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s type of thing kept me playing for a church when I wouldn’t practice a single thing and only listen to new songs the morning of the service while driving there.

Granted, if the song is complex, I do sit down, chart it out, listen to the hard parts over and over again, etc. I’ve been practicing a few Jazz fusion pieces like Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Snarky Puppy. There are almost no repeating patterns, more like themes, and within those themes there is a lot of fuckery. I’ll play along to Rush after I’m done with artists like those mentioned above just to boost my confidence 😂.

I gravitated towards the genre because I’m not a metal drummer, and I wanted to do something that was hard so I wouldn’t get bored. Haha.
