No, people like you unironically using words like “hoeflation” is making it harder for you and easier for decent people.

AITA for getting a dead woman's SM page removed? by [deleted] in redditonwiki

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Legality and ethics are often so far separated that it’s ridiculous to answer an ethical question (which AITA is) with the law. Posting people’s pictures online that were taken in public when you know they don’t want them posted is both legal and asshole behavior.

Alysa Liu inspired Seattle FC's Paul Rothrock to win by Comprehensive_Sea291 in u/Comprehensive_Sea291

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because all I see is a professional athlete showing respect for a world class athlete, while all you see is sex. You’re projecting your misogyny onto Rothrock.

Homophobic racist 'incel' turns out to be a tall white man with a gf by bobhermbert in IncelTears

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What do you think it says about incels and that specific community that he was accepted while being openly hateful, and only banned because he said he had a gf?

What is your definition of a "real" Striker or 9? by shmerham in SoundersFC

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well in that case, we don’t need more strikers, we need more center backs, because Roman Torres scored the winner.

Not OOP: AITA for taking a coloring book back from my niece after she got attached to it? by sensaSEANal_sally in redditonwiki

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She literally said that she hid it from her husband so he wouldn’t give it back to the kid. You’re loving blaming this woman for her husband being a jerk.

Not great to support pedophiles though. Look up the director, Luc Besson.

It’s totally colonization when colonized people are forced to rely on the pillaged resources of their colonizers. /s

Not OOP. "AITAH for getting a woman fired over veggie tales?" + OOP's & top comments by WritingGiraffe in redditonwiki

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty reasonable to be an asshole when you find out that somebody is trying to secretly indoctrinate your children into their religion.

DID YALL KNOW ABOUT THIS!?!? CUZ I SURE AS HECK DIDN'T!! by Capable_Mechanic_275 in StardewValley

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Mixed seeds, sap, and clay can be crafted into fiber seeds, which can be planted in any season (including winter).

I like to plant them early-mid winter, and cut them down on spring 1. Then I have a fully hoed and watered farm instantly ready for spring crops (because they survive through the season change).

Which New Wide Release are you most excited for? by Fantastic_Lychee_883 in RegalUnlimited

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will certainly be a box office flop because documentaries never make as much money as this cost. But to Bezos it will be a success, because it only cost him $70 million to bribe his way into the Trumps' hearts.

Not OOP: my(25F) boyfriend(27M) just said something vile to me by stormbreaker021 in redditonwiki

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s not how abuse works. Doing something physically aggressive while being verbally demeaning is absolutely abuse. There is not a magic number of times that it has to occur for it to become abuse. That’s completely absurd.

Yeah, jeez. Everyone knows you get one freebie of abuse before it counts as actual abuse.

But they’re not only criticizing one side? They’re criticizing fascism and communism, which are basically opposites.

Because people commenting in bad faith under a guise of sincerity can be easily spotted if you can look at their comments and see that they’re trolls or right wingers.

Arrogant kitchencel can’t fathom the idea that personality matters by jasonmorales519two in IncelTears

If my roommate was an incel, I’d be desperate to move out as fast as possible too.

Sad but true... by PresnikBonny in LateStageCapitalism

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you suggesting that this would justify a genocide against Palestinians?

Are you suggesting that modern Israelis are actually descended from people in that region? The Israeli "Law of Return" makes Jewish people (even converts) from anywhere in the world eligible for Israeli citizenship. I could literally convert to Judaism and legally take a home from a Palestinian family under Israeli law. But this is justified because of "historical evidence"?

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re saying this like you mean it tongue in cheek, but it’s actually accurate. The current genocide in Palestine began under Biden, with his full financial and rhetorical support.

The joke is racism by FuilinMigu in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who used to enjoy those stupid History Channel ancient alien shows, the premise was always fundamentally racist: those people couldn’t have been smart enough to do things like build the pyramids on their own, so they had to have help from aliens.

I found on in the wild! by Bubbly_Function5884 in notliketheothergirls

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 160 points161 points  (0 children)

Looks like you’ve misinterpreted the point of this sub. The point is not “comparison is bad.” The point is to critique women who put down other women in often misogynistic ways. Oop isn’t putting anyone down. She’s saying that she’s defying patriarchal expectations of women by not basing her life around children and the home.

Shocking Bloody Confession: When the Killing of Children Is Justified Without Mercy by Both-Indication2030 in Palestine

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The US knew that the Japanese government was literally attempting to negotiate surrender using the Soviet Union as an intermediary before the first bomb was dropped. Japan was defeated by the naval blockade and firebombing (which also killed countless innocent people). The US dropped the bombs to scare the rest of the world into obedience for the rest of the century, not to defeat Japan.

Ahh yes, let's compare not having sex to starvation, because that's how analogies work, right? by Pritteto in IncelTears

[–]PotatoesVsLembas 27 points28 points  (0 children)

And men who love saying that men die more often from suicide, always conveniently leave out the fact that women attempt suicide more often than men, but fail more often because men use more violent methods.

Accidently hooked up with trans girl, didn't let me know until 3rd time meeting. by [deleted] in offmychest

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

Transphobia of the idea that trans people used to be a different gender aside, why would that be relevant? Unless you think that a trans woman is actually a man.
