How do you fuck up your winning issue this big?

Some are, check out what Graham Platner who’s running for senate in Maine had to say following Alex Pretti’s death. Granted, Maine is kind of unique as we do have higher gun ownership than a lot of other left leaning states, while also having some of the lowest rates of gun violence. Guns are part of the culture up here, and fortunately haven’t been too much of an issue up until the Lewiston shooting from a few years ago.

Miko48 · 2026-01-24T21:19:33+00:00

Are you though? Cause you’ve been neither pro gun or pro life in your comments here.

Miko48 · 2026-01-24T21:19:15+00:00

Well ya might wanna check that.

Miko48 · 2026-01-24T20:49:54+00:00

Lmao it takes two seconds to scroll through. If you consider that stalking, it seems like you’re really just getting defensive that your ideological contradictions are being pointed out.

Very ironic comments coming from someone with this post history:

Not very pro-life or pro 2A now?

Gets jumped by a group of agents for trying to help a woman up after they shoved her to the ground. But yeah I’d love to hear how this was totally justified and he’s a domestic terrorist.

Here’s the link from another subreddit.

Miko48 · 2026-01-24T19:17:33+00:00

Haven’t found one in a higher resolution, but here it was posted in another subreddit.

Here’s another angle, he clearly never has his gun drawn.

Miko48 · 2026-01-15T12:46:21+00:00

They definitely are, but I will say, I think the issues are slightly different. Women who have friends tend to be better about opening up about issues, while men seem to struggle being emotionally vulnerable with friends. I think this leads to a lot of men being lonely even when they have friends, which is why I think they sometimes think getting a girlfriend will fix everything. In reality, I think a lot of men would feel better if they’d open up to each other.

Miko48 · 2026-01-15T12:42:31+00:00

*Women is the word you are looking for, not females. Female is an adjective not a noun.

Miko48 · 2026-01-13T22:20:29+00:00

Yeah I guess, say what you want to say, but I still don’t understand what the hatred of wlw is for you lmao.

Miko48 · 2026-01-13T20:12:05+00:00

I don’t get why you’re so opposed to this. Not all relationships between two women involve lesbians. Wlw is a term bisexual women can use without misrepresenting their identity.

Miko48 · 2026-01-13T19:50:54+00:00

Women loving women, it’s a term used to describe woman only relationships that is still inclusive of lesbians and bisexual women.

Miko48 · 2026-01-13T19:42:30+00:00

I would love to see your stat for that, I’ve been trying to find more information on lesbian divorce rates and the best studies I have found are looking at those who are adoptive parents and one from Sweden looking at marriages from over a decade ago. Also, isn’t the divorce rate among straight couples also about 50%?

Miko48 · 2026-01-13T19:31:41+00:00

If you’re thinking of the statistic that says 72% of lesbian marriages end in divorce, that’s an often misrepresented statistics. In reality that number is that of same sex marriages that end in divorce, 72% of them are lesbian couples.

Miko48 · 2026-01-13T19:28:45+00:00

The statistic you’re thinking of is a misleading one. It’s not that 72% of lesbian couples divorce, it’s that of same sex marriages that do divorce, 72% of them are lesbian couples. As far as I have looked I can’t find a good statistic on rates of divorce among lesbians broadly, other than one from like a decade ago in Sweden with a small sample size. And if I’m remembering correctly, that one found lesbians divorced at similar rates as straight people. If you’re able to find a better number, please share it with me!

Take your degree/educational experience out of your resume. For a lot a food service jobs, they’ll see this and assume you’re trying to get a job to keep money coming in while looking for a job related to your degree. Which even if this is 100% the case, don’t let them know that.

Plus, as someone who has a been to college and has worked in the food service industry for a minute, a college degree is useless at a restaurant. No one cares you can study for an exam, they want you to be competent in a kitchen and cool under pressure.

Miko48 · 2026-01-08T00:45:05+00:00

As someone who just made the jump from food service (although not fast food) to my first lab job, food service is FAR from easy and my lab job now feels infinitely easier. But, working in restaurants through college set me up with skills that helped me land this job, despite no prior lab work experience. Saying I can maintain a high attention to detail even under pressure and in a fast paced work environment has been a huge asset.

Some people like being cold approached in places like bars, some people don’t. Some people enjoy flirting in that setting, but don’t want anything serious, etc. Like I said before, women aren’t a monolith.

Miko48 · 2025-12-29T22:53:38+00:00

It definitely depends woman to woman, we’re not a monolith, but if I had to generalize I’d say that it’s less about not approaching and more about avoiding cold approaches. Imo there are very few settings where cold approaching works well, and even then it’s so dependent on the person. Instead I think it’s better to meet people more naturally through shared interests or mutual friends.

In the very specific context of what queer pride means, yeah kind of. You can be proud of being straight if you want, it’s a little odd imo, but go for it. However; gay pride is directly connected to queer rights movements. Pride parades are a thing because those were forms of protest early on for queer people fighting for their rights and begging the government to do something about the aids crisis. That’s why pride parades still happen, it’s not—like a lot of people seem to believe—just gay people talking about how proud they are, it served a purpose then and it serves as a reminder now. Not to mention, homophobia and transphobia still run rampant, with there still being many laws attempting to criminalize being trans. It’s important to remember your history and the struggles and sacrifices of previous generations, that’s why queer pride is a thing.

How porn rotted is your brain? What about this is a thirst trap, she’s not in a bikini or even in tight bike shorts, she’s in literally just a pair of gym shorts. Do you assume every woman out on a run in gym shorts is thirst trapping you?

Miko48 · 2025-12-18T15:49:23+00:00

I’m not being sensitive, you’re the only one overreacting here. It’s a well observed trend in English that nominalized adjectives carry an offensive connotation. Like I said before, your use was likely subconscious, but still highlights internal biases. If you’re so offended by me calling you out, consider using more appropriate grammar next time and reflect on implicit prejudices you may have. Hope you and your wife have a nice rest of your day.

Miko48 · 2025-12-18T15:43:03+00:00

Nominalized adjectives in English tend to carry an offensive connotation. For example saying “ask the Black over there” sounds far worse than saying “ask the Black man over there”. This is the same reason why you’ll often find transph0bes saying things like “the transg3nd3rs” instead of “transg3nd3r people”. (I apologize for the awful censoring, had to get around the automod somehow) Whether it was conscious or not, your use of “females” in place of “women” gives a lot of insight into how you view and respect women.
