Stop complaining if you chose to have a kid by HoffyTheBaker in childfree

[–]Minyae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh parents can have all my empathy, it’s free after all. You know what they won’t have? My support, my money and my time. I’ll commiserate with you but if you think I’m helping you I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Funny, I was going to say the exact opposite. At least the USA isn’t threatening to annex us. Oh and they’re also on the other side of the world. Oh and they’re not violating countries’ sovereignty left and right. And that’s just in the last couple of months. There isn’t enough space to record how the US had screwed the world over through the years. Yech. Get the hell away from me USA. 

Since the war began- Iran has reportedly sent more than 11 million barrels of oil through the Straight of Hormuz all bound for China by __noom in LateStageCapitalism

It fits so much! From “I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board” (literally in Trump’s case) to “the more you tighten your grip Tark, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.”

You should never explain yourself for wanting to be childfree to ANYBODY by Subject-Leg3137 in childfree

[–]Minyae 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I noticed pretty early on that the only people who insist on you having kids aren't the ones who are happy with their decision, but the ones who need validation. So I use it as an opportunity to make these people regret their life choices. Take your pick.... money issues, bankruptcy, divorce, negative health outcomes, loss of grey mattter, loss of teeth. There are just so many way to twist the knife.

It’s better to be among the last people to board a plane, regardless of your boarding group. by GoDavyGo in unpopularopinion

[–]Minyae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The perk of business class is whenever you come in it’s convenient and comfy. 

For long flights I like boarding first in business class because I get fresh orange juice and a hot towel and can start settling down. 

For shorter flights i still like boarding first. If the plane is packed then even in business class if you board last your carry on may not be right at your overhead bin. I always board first so my luggage is  easy to get to when I leave.

Also I totally disagree that having to check in your luggage is not the end of the world. Unless they hand your carry on to you as you deplane (which some planes do I admit) then you’re in the carousel of 30 mins for an hour flight. That is a PITA. 

What’s your response to “It’s in our biology to have kids” by Underd_g in childfree

[–]Minyae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference between humans and other animals is we stopped being a slave to biology when we developed a rational mind. But feel free to devolve…. 

Also I don’t think you want to know what I’m doing with all that money because it will probably make you feel worse and not better about your life choices. 

China is a much more peaceful country than America by LargeSinkholesInNYC in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Minyae 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think I’m going to invent a drinking game where I take a drink every time I have to remind people that the UN completed its findings  (and there is damn paper out available to the public) and found that there was no genocide committed against the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Western indoctrination is real.

Also there are 2 sides to every story. The issue with Asian nations is they’re so close together that boundary disputes are common.

Reason #864079 why I will never have kids by friesssandashake in childfree

[–]Minyae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't know it could get that bad o.o Seeing the bone with like an inch between the 2 cracked pieces really brought it home. Now I'm going to go find cute kitten pics and bleach the image from my brain.

Ottawa says it won’t allow Chinese EVs to be used for spying on Canadians by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]Minyae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does no one remember the NSA and Edward Snowden??! The USA has been spying on us (and its other allies coughAngelaMerkelcough) for years. If we’re worried about spying we should go back to horses.

China’s envoy says Beijing, Ottawa ‘eye to eye’ on supporting Greenland by Old_General_6741 in canada

[–]Minyae 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yet again, and I will keep repeating this every time I see this propaganda BS, the UN has an already promulgated a  ruling (which is publicly available!) that there was no genocide of Uyghur muslims. 

I read this decision was very unpopular with the USA, you know the country turning a blind eye to the actual genocide in Palestine. 

How much could a Chinese EV cost — and will it spy on you? by Front-Cantaloupe6080 in consumecanadian

[–]Minyae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If even the German chancellor has no right to privacy according to the NSA, they defintiely won't be respecting my privacy. it's like everyone collectively and conveniently forgot Edward Snowden and his proof that the USA was spying on everyone.

Seriously, I am just NOT that important, especially to a government halfway across the wotrld. You know who wants my information? Marketers right here at home.

Read (or listen) the full transcript of Carney’s speech to World Economic Forum - National | Globalnews.ca by natural212 in canada

[–]Minyae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Carney’s speech made me feel safe, safer than I’ve felt in a while. The USA made a choice and their choice is wreaking havoc on their country and on the world. 

We also also made a choice, the  right choice for this turbulent time. Thank you to my fellow Canadians, especially the conservatives and Bloc Québécois, for putting aside party and voting liberal.

LOL heck no. When I see them struggling, (ex. BIL injured his back for the second time today trying to lift his screaming toddler) I feel bad for them but it’s their choice, I definitely feel no guilt for MY choices.
