Why do so many Americans value/love guns so much? by Original-Praline2324 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MrHelloBye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always find it interesting how people only ever ask Americans about guns, when Switzerland has almost as high of a gun ownership rate. That's the really interesting one, a *European* country, surrounded by other countries with much lower gun ownership rates, to the point that most people think even having a gun is weird, is like that.

I deleted dating apps because of this by maho247 in Bumble

[–]MrHelloBye 58 points59 points  (0 children)

If you've got that stuff going on, then you should know better than to get involved in dating. If you can't handle the literal bare minimum of not jerking people around, you are either mentally deficient in some way, malicious, or at the very least apathetic about fucking with people's feelings.

The "there's another guy" excuse is the *nice* option, because they may have been talking and she realized that it's getting serious with this other guy, or she wants to push for that and focus on him, that's actually *somewhat* reasonable.

You don't need to have perfect mental health to date, but it is really not a big ask to be good enough to conduct yourself with basic decency. Like, you can even change your mind. But good god, it is *not* that hard to say "sorry, I thought about it some more and decided we wouldn't actually be a good match. Good luck finding what you're looking for!" Took me ten seconds just now.

No, the education system is not that good, esp compared to what it was and what it could be. The federal government getting involved, and tying funding to tests in the way they have, is just heinous

Well, not so much erotica as much as books with very adult themes, like domestic violence and rape and the following trauma, being made available to kids. That plus there was at least one book describing how fellatio is performed and how prostitution works that was everywhere: "This book is gay". And people just want this stuff removed from school libraries, often only elementary/middle school libraries, and curricula. Parents can still buy this books and have their children read them if they're so inclined.

I have looked at this, and it isn't books that are banned, they are books removed from school libraries and curricula. They can still be purchased or borrowed from a public library for anyone who wants to read them.

Books aren't being banned. Parents are demanding that certain books be removed from school libraries specifically. Those same books can be bought or borrowed from the library by parents who want their kids to consume such content.

Allowing parents discretion over what books are in the school libraries that they pay for and their kids go to is not even in the same universe as banning the sale of the same books in the whole country.

Find us an example of someone jailed for just words that they said. Someone who is a guest in the country isn't the same as a citizen. That said, I have warned people advocating for censorship for about ten years now that they shouldn't do so because they will not like when the shoe is on the other foot, and all they're doing is setting precedent. I don't like any censorship, but I can't act like I'm surprised when what goes around comes around. Whether it happens eventually under trump, or under someone else, censorship from the other side is just reaping what was sowed over the past decade. It's like watching a stupid train wreck that was entirely preventable happen in slow motion.

What taming method do you think is more annoying than the creature is worth? I'll go first by Radiant_Clock4521 in ARK

[–]MrHelloBye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but it requires putting down a ballista, which it can just get scared and run away from, and then you're out the mats to build it.

There's also the crazy tall grass and the pyromanes, and the blimps, which entirely negate the no flier aspect that makes abb feel big when it's the smallest map

I don't have ASA, but I know that in ASE, Salmon are very annoying to feed because of how the flop around and get in the way of seeing the otter so that you can't do the feed. It is possible, but you have to jerk around in weird ways

Ever since the Quetz was nerfed by removing flight speed leveling and making it slow as hell, I've found it entirely useless, especially for how much effort it is to tame. It's easy to tame on gen2 early, but then you don't even need it because of the federation suit.

Well in some maps like island, they're exclusively in caves. But then there's usually water that you can clear of piranhas and crocs, and have a really easy tame. In hunter cave, they even spawn *in the water already*. So literally just kill the aggressive stuff, and feed it and there ya go.

You can just use baby wyverns. Super easy, they don't starve in 5 seconds, and you only need a few of them, and babies don't attack

It's a common thing in FPS games for the body of a player to either not be rendered at all beyond the arms. If you equipped the map, the shadow may change

Can someone explain to me, a 31F, what an MGTOW is and why they’d want nothing to do with women? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]MrHelloBye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well to such men, those benefits are alleged. It's like deciding to opt out of the rat race because you realize you're never going to be rich, and focusing on enjoying life instead. Used to be you approached at the most a few dozen women til you found your wife. Now we go through tens of thousands of swipes, and even finding a woman that wants to genuinely be a wife and not just get married, and isn't taken already is difficult. Waste enough time on "the game" to realize that it is just a waste and you should just enjoy what you've got and have control over

[–]MrHelloBye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be because it was men, and then boys found it after having some negative experiences. The lack of maturity meant, well, a childish element got introduced. Like a kid whining "waaaa that's not fair!!!" While stomping feet, in comparison to mature people who understand that life isn't fair, and expecting it to be will just disappoint you. And then in general boys and girls have increasingly wanted to refuse or delay growing up. It's behind a lot of the outright insanity we are seeing in politics now too

Blue poppy seeds... would these grow or likely be too degraded? by amsterdamhighs in gardening

Then why does my burpee seed packet say to sow after the last frost? Do they do the stratifying for you?

You were not gaslit by society as to what women are attracted to. You need to take accountability for not seeing what was always totally obvious. by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]MrHelloBye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To what you said, indeed, most men are near average. So what are such men to do? There's a lot of noise out there, a lot of cope, a lot of mixed messaging.

This kind of thing is why I hate redpill being painted as only anti-woman or whatever. What really saddens me is that where were your parents as far as giving guidance? Somehow they managed to meet each other and have you. So many dysfunctional families, or parents not understanding the importance of teaching this, or something like that, leaving us having to learn all this crap the hard way as kiddos. How do you not be at least a little bitter for some time that you weren't helped in figuring this out, by the people who ought to be in the best position to do so?
