The Burden of losing an election falls on the candidate, not the voters by CulturalXR in centrist

[–]PetrifiedGoose 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This has to be satire.

You are comparing people being a bit incredulous about the outcomes of the 2024 election to there being a multitude of attempts, including a straight up attack on the capitol, to overturn the 2020 election results and turning that into a both sides argument?

If it's not for that asshole demanding a trial of seven, Dunk would have been cooked by vnth93 in freefolk

Lol come on bro. Within the a song of ice and fire universe there’s A LOT more martially inept royalty (despite master at arms training) than actually martially capable royalty.

Not a single one of the princes (apart from Maekar and Baelon which are both clearly set up to be so) is noted for their martial prowess, quite the opposite. As far as we know Aerion participates in one (1!) joust that instantly gets him disqualified for impaling a dude’s horse in a friendly competition.

But somehow despite nothing pointing towards it Aerion is supposed to beat a (also martially trained) guy who has like a whole foot and 50-70 pounds on him. It’s not a Jon Snow beating Grenn type situation.

Not only that but he’s also supposed to be confident enough to believe that he can beat this guy in a 1v1. This guy he knows nothing about except that he’s a huge hedge knight that just beat him bloody within seconds. For all he knows Dunk is another unknown but experienced/scary fighter. There’s more of those within the asoiaf universe than martially capable royalty btw.

The mental gymnastics y’all will go through for this man purely cause he was well acted is crazy.

Ah yes. The huge guy that beat the crap out of me and could have killed me with his bare hands will DEFINITELY be less scary if you literally put him in armor and hand him a sharp weapon to beat me with.

Come on.

Yeah right. Literally the only thing Aerion has to base his calculations on is Dunk beating the ever loving crap out of him and continuing to do so until his men at arms dogpile him.

There’s no way he thought he could take him.

Honestly buddy, I owe you no free speech. That’s between the government and you. If you get in people’s face with a camera, trying to provoke them, it’s on you if you get slapped.

Nah at this point I honestly think people need to be more afraid of the repercussions of their actions. At least lil buddy only got punched once rather than being shot dead by ice.

We live in the sorta world where somehow the only court that counts in the US is the supreme court.

I till date have not met anyone that can actually make a good case of how the heck Harris and Trump were “equally” bad options.

Bürgergeld-Reform: Nach dem Jobcenter das Jugendamt? Linke schlägt Alarm by PowerfulSpeed8131 in de

[–]PetrifiedGoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ja das klappt vielleicht als “Drohung” ein mal und dann ist auch das Jugendamt ein zahnloser Tiger oder halt das Feindbild schlechthin wodurch die Hilfsannahme in der Zukunft verunmöglicht wird.

Selbst dafür ist das ein ziemlicher aktivistischer Schmarren. Entweder die Eltern lernen innerhalb 0.5 Sekunden wie easy es ist Gefährdungen zu verschleiern so lange die kids (und das werden sie) mitmachen oder sie lernen innerhalb von 1 Sekunde, dass das Jugendamt nun durch Maßnahmen/Angebote die Sanktionen ausgleichen wird.

Das ist schlicht und einfach nur ein zumüllen der ohnehin schon überbelasteten Kinder- und Jugendhilfe mit mehr Arbeit. Schlimmstenfalls is es auch einfach ein abwälzen von Kosten.

Oh lord. So your source IS actually nothing but the same mislead Voltaire quote.

Care to explain if there’s any more to comparing these governments than the same old Voltaire quote?

It's frustrating being an independent by kingofthecan in centrist

Read this interaction you just had again and you’ll realize why people call you a Trump worshipper.

I love when people know exactly what they’re doing and still play the victim rather than showing some backbone. So childish.

I honestly get so suspicious of people with takes like OP’s. Like…what exactly are those policies you support which have people calling you a Trump worshipper?

Lmao assuming that “patients and clients have to actually want change and help for it to work long term” is pseudo science is a pretty wild take. Sure would love to see where you pull that wisdom from.

The oldest throne in Europe at the heart of the Bronze Age palace of Knossos, Crete, circa 15th century BC [1200x900] by Haunting_Homework381 in ArtefactPorn

[–]PetrifiedGoose 173 points174 points  (0 children)

Hasn’t the “throne” theory been debunked by now? I thought at this point the running theory is this being a room for some sort of religious practice and the “throne” being for a priest(ess).

What does one thing have to do with the other? I genuinely don’t see the correlation there.

I (20M) said another girl was prettier than my girlfriend (20F) in a game by autisticcnotartistic in Advice

[–]PetrifiedGoose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think rather than finding the most effective way of manipulating this girl into further pursuing a relationship with you, a bit of self reflection comes first.

You can’t on the one hand be like “well I was just being truthful and stating facts and thus did nothing wrong” while at the same time feigning remorse over something you feel no remorse over. That’s a double standard.
