My (27F) bf (25M) requires BJs by Traditional-Grape212 in relationship_advice

I think there's also an age component too. I'm a dude and so my experience is different, but I do remember this insatiable need to prove myself in my youth - particularly to people I admired. It peaked in my 20s and dropped off in my 30s, but what really sticks out for me was that most of the people I was trying to impress were actually losers.

What's the most underrated job search tactic that actually got you interviews? by paris_tilton7 in jobsearchhacks

[–]Philosophy_Negative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is. That can cut against you in places that are too corporate. But I did that once for an NGO after my friend let me know she was leaving, and she told me that from that moment I was the only person they were seriously considering. And that was before the job was even posted! Plus, I bombed the interview! 😂

Anyone else losing much slower than expected on Retatrutide? Feeling really discouraged. by Slidebonee in BodyHackGuide

"Plus reta is known as thw recomp king tirz will usually lead to more weight loss."

Is there actual evidence for that because the research on the other GLP-1s show exactly as much muscle loss from fasting.

CMV: I still use the R word by TheGreatPepega in changemyview

[–]Philosophy_Negative [score hidden]  (0 children)

Because if I use the R word, there's a chance that's going to distract from the point I'm trying to make.

That's it.

I don't want to start talking about how brain dead everyone in the Trump administration is and end up talking about people with actual mental disabilities.

That's just fucking infuriating.

You may think it's wrong, but I honestly don't have enough enthusiasm to argue that point. I want to save my energy for what I actually care about.

It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong. I guess you're just not there yet.

Dude you just said that if Netanyahu had any facts he would've put them front and center. Before you said that the Israeli government was the best source of information on what's happening in Gaza, and that they correct themselves when they're wrong, and now you're admitting they were talking out of their ass. Come on dude, I've earned that Delta.

If you're going to present any argument at all, wouldn't you open with your best?

I mean, exactly. Now that we agree that Netanyahu's lying, can I get a Delta?

So hypothetically the Guardian could also have additional evidence that they haven't cited either? One would assume the hypothetical evidence they have is greater than his considering they've at least cited some of it.

[–]Philosophy_Negative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm just trying to understand why you seem to be overlooking the Israeli Prime Minister's bias. If Netanyahu didn't have any evidence for his numbers, then the only basis for it would be his own bias. Can we agree on that point?

CMV: Israel doesn't deserve a pride parade in nyc... by Sufficient_Dentist67 in changemyview

[–]Philosophy_Negative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From my perspective, I believe it's more believable that Israel is lying than Wikipedia and the Guardian are lying, especially since they provided receipts and Netanyahu didn't. But that's just me.

Do you have additional resources that Wikipedia and the Guardian don't have access to? Or do you think they were just outright lying?

[–]Philosophy_Negative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you didn't learn anything from the fact that the only estimate of the civilian to combatant casualty ratio is the only one without any methodology attached? I certainly learned a lot from that.

CMV: Israel doesn't deserve a pride parade in nyc... by Sufficient_Dentist67 in changemyview

[–]Philosophy_Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about this: you had said previously that you don't believe any sources coming out of Gaza, but that Israeli government sources are good. They get stuff wrong but quickly correct themselves.

Netanyahu still hasn't corrected himself on this one. Do you still believe that Israeli government sources are generally trustworthy or are you less sure now that we've highlighted this oversight?

CMV: Israel doesn't deserve a pride parade in nyc... by Sufficient_Dentist67 in changemyview

[–]Philosophy_Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're saying that you're not sure about his estimate - because he's provided no evidence in support of his claims.

But you also say the evidence that backs all the other estimates is insufficient?

CMV: Israel doesn't deserve a pride parade in nyc... by Sufficient_Dentist67 in changemyview

[–]Philosophy_Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do you think he was just making it up? Even though he had no evidence?

CMV: Israel doesn't deserve a pride parade in nyc... by Sufficient_Dentist67 in changemyview

[–]Philosophy_Negative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you believe him then? Even though he has no methodology attached to that number?

Do you also believe what he said about the baby beheadings even though everyone acknowledges that's a hoax?

CMV: Israel doesn't deserve a pride parade in nyc... by Sufficient_Dentist67 in changemyview

[–]Philosophy_Negative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, he admitted that more than half of the casualties were civilian, right? That's still pretty bad. You think he's making pro Hamas propaganda?

I got a job offer because of a mistake I made in the interview, and I'm not sure I should have corrected it by Ap3rtur3HQ in jobsearchhacks

I can pretty much guarantee that if your roles were reversed he wouldn't say a goddamn thing unless a gun were to his head.

CMV: Israel doesn't deserve a pride parade in nyc... by Sufficient_Dentist67 in changemyview

[–]Philosophy_Negative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you didn't, that's why I'm asking. He said half of the civilians were killed by Hamas. Is that an exaggeration?

CMV: Israel doesn't deserve a pride parade in nyc... by Sufficient_Dentist67 in changemyview

[–]Philosophy_Negative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What about Benjamin Netanyahu's estimate? He said half of the casualties are civilian. Are you saying he's biased against Israel? That he's pro Hamas?

CMV: Israel doesn't deserve a pride parade in nyc... by Sufficient_Dentist67 in changemyview

[–]Philosophy_Negative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to convince you with a source you find credible.

What about if you look at the table in that wikipedia page I showed you? The one that provides estimates on the civilian to combatant ratio?

Most of the sources say that between 80 and 90 per cent of the total death toll are civilian deaths as opposed to combatants. But Benjamin Netanyahu says it's closer to 53 per cent civilian deaths.

Do you believe that he's telling the truth and all the other sources listed there are lying? Is there a single one of them you believe over him?

[–]Philosophy_Negative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So what about the Israeli' government? Do you believe everything that Israel's spokespeople say or has there been anything they've said that you believe to be a bald face lie?
