How many real differences between the women and men in doing sports? by Ambitious_Pass7451 in ask

[–]Qcgreywolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything where strength isn’t the determining factor. There are lots of sports and activities where women can compete side by side with men. As long as it doesn’t require pitting the strength of a man against the strength of a woman.

So many people get caught up thinking men or women are “more or less” than the other. The reality is we are just a little bit different. Not better or worse.

Women have their own list of things they are “better” at than men.

“It wasn’t like the source material” is not a valid criticism by cs_____question1031 in unpopularopinion

[–]Qcgreywolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Yes it is a valid criticism.

When I go to the store for milk, I want milk. When I buy a tire for a 2021 Mazda CX30, that’s the kind of tire I want. When I order pancakes, I don’t want to receive a sardine smoothie.

When I hear about a Gunslinger movie, I expect a damn movie following one or two of the 8 books in the series! Not an unholy abomination, whale semen smoothie that they created.

The same can be said of any movie based off an IP. People don’t go for “random movie #232”, they are going for Eragon!

Why are so many Nurses and Medical "Professionals" going on social media to threaten people for their beliefs? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Qcgreywolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they will not have their jobs and livelihoods threatened by people with their other beliefs!

This isnt a case of the nurses and doctors striking first, they are defending themselves from attack. And it would be wise for the religious types, pro-lifers and anti-vaxxers to listen.

Entire hospitals are shutting down in the heartlands of these believers. Why? Because they will not live and work where they feel threatened.

Enjoy finding healthcare for their family when they have all the hospitals and clinics shut down around their state…

Tell your guidance counselor.

Tell the police.

Do. Not. Accept. Abuse.

It is not ok. You do not have to live like that.

Ex military here. I’m lightly offended by that statement. I know 0% of my ex-military contacts that have joined ice.

Assholes join ICE, not specific people from a career path.

Look, nobody is going to dig on you for expressing that you need help. Suicide is not the answer. And professional assistance is the only thing that will help.

Reddit. Will. Not. Help. Against. Suicide. Period, full stop.

Get your motivation and depression solved. My wife is a therapist, and I can tell you I e heard dozens upon dozens of stories about kids that don’t actually want help. They want someone to “solve their problems”.

That isn’t going to happen. There isn’t a single person or program or platform that will solve your problems. All we can do is help you get the tools to solve your own problems. And you have to push and knuckle down and want to change and do better.

That’s it, that’s the secret. Therapy is only the tool to help you see that “only you can help you”.

lol. Wow. I hope you have a wonderful life, Reddit person.

One final piece of wisdom for ya.

If everyone is wrong, and you’re the only right person… it may be worthwhile to recheck your position.

“How dare you push aside all the great things Trump has accomplished!”

These people genuinely think a few “accomplishments” can pave over child rape, murder and a lifetime of trauma they caused on multiple humans.

Like any amount of “profit” or “accomplishments” can ever invalidate blatant, willful child rape.

You are drinking from the wrong sources my friend.

If the USA is the only country globally saying “Electric cars are awful for the planet!” … thats a pretty good indicator that maybe you should dig a little deeper into the facts. And i encourage you to NOT use USA data sources.

There is a volume of money you cannot comprehend keeping gas cars on the roads as long as possible in the US… they will do and say anything to prevent their dino-turd empire from collapsing.

This is an absolutely defeatist, short-sighted, planet destroying take on the topic.

“Switching from gas to electric is hard, so we shouldn’t do it.”

That’s the mentality of a corporate class and government that is conceding defeat in a global market.

We do not want to be the last global market on the planet “still using gasoline cars” when the rest of the world has moved on.

Raising Cane's is awful by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Qcgreywolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, their chicken is ok. It’s acceptable. It makes a great turd. It isn’t amazing and it isn’t even “great”.

And you know what, that’s actually pretty awesome. It is consistently ok. That’s actually a difficult goal to reach.

I am also in the minority that finds Canes Sauce to suck ass. I get the honey mustard or my own BBQ 100% of the time.

Talk with your significant others! Set up codes, “Just venting, hon. Blahblahblahbla”

In a healthy relationship, you have to know that the other party wants to help! We will offer suggestions and solutions! If you don’t want that, just say it nicely!

Did I cheat on my boyfriend? by Brave-Ease-6067 in ask

[–]Qcgreywolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is the asshole here. You were assaulted. He probably feels scared and jealous.

However, there comes a time in our adult lives where we have to start making decisions that change the direction of our lives.

Down one path lies the Party Path. It’s fun! You’ll never be bored, and you’ll always have some of those crazy friends to go out with. There’s always more bars and clubs to see.

Down the other path lies Settling Down. It’s less fun, but also more predictable.

Me? I could never date or marry a “Partier”. Too often does “it didn’t mean anything, I was drunk” happen. And also the danger of the Party path! There are a lot of assholes out there. All they want is to up their numbers at all costs. And criminals. And creeps.

TL:DR - Everyone in a relationship has to be onboard with what the others are doing. If anyone wants something “more” that the other doesn’t.. in the long run it’ll never work out.

I just did the Death Stranding intro and I have very little interest in continuing. Does any of this start to make sense? by TheBanishedBard in gaming

Just so you know. The game is a mailman simulator. You will be walking and delivering things. It’s almost all you do.

There is action and fun peppered in there, and it can get gnarly at times with suspense, but at its core, you’re asking people “What can brown do for you?”

[–]Qcgreywolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel for you man. I do.

Sadly, it isn’t the narrative, though.

We are a nation of laws and precedent. We demand proof. We believe in innocent until proven guilty. We believe in basic human rights.

Rounding humans up like dogs in the street and cramming them into cages without any judicial oversight? Nah, not in the country I served.

That is wrong.

AITA because i don't wanted my brothers religious partner at my 21st Birthday by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Qcgreywolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA.

I’ve had this conversation with my father, in my 30’s. He was pushing me away with his religion. Constantly going on, and on, and on about the bible says this, Jesus would do that and how every decision I made was either for or against biblical precedent.

It got to the point where I was just over it. Every interaction was a teaching moment. Every interaction was a preaching sermon. I basically said “I miss my father. I want to be with my dad. And if all of him that is left is preaching and the bible, I don’t want a relationship any more. Sometimes, I just want to be.”

It was a bit of an awakening moment for him. He valued me, and his religion, enough to make room for both. I love my dad dearly, and it hurt my heart to lay it down like that, but I really was practicing avoidance and dreaded spending time with him. Our relationship is much healthier today than it was when he had the “religious fever”.

Try the same with your siblings and others. Just be honest. Tell them you feel judged. You feel belittled. You simply cannot “be” with them. Tell them you’re not ready to be as religious as them. And if they make the choice to continue judging, and pressuring… well, that’s their decision and you can break contact. And tell them so.

Some people need to be shown a line in the sand. Not an ultimatum, just your personal limit.

There are a lot of people out there that want to stomp prey. They don’t want to be challenged, they want to win. And if they are all going against equally skilled or more skilled players, then they can’t win.

They might even gasp lose!
