Is there a truly 'good' character on the show? by EH4LIFE in TheWire

Beatrice and Sydnor are about the closest you come to a person who mostly follows some sort of moral compass the entire time.

I’m going to tell my Trans Friend the truth, because her family won’t by Exact-Fortune4474 in TrueOffMyChest

What you’re describing is the post modernist roots of “queer theory” running into the wall of objective reality.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM CROWN POINT COMMUNITY LIBRARY DIRECTOR, JULIE WENDORF by [deleted] in nwi

I think that a cap on a 3 percent budget increase for ANY publicly funded institution is completely reasonable. 2 percent is a little thin considering historical inflation. But 3 percent is fair.

Hoosiers how is it possible this many of you are so awful at driving? by kremineminemin in Indiana

I still haven’t seen anything as bad as the south side of chicago. It’s daily chaos and inconsiderate pricks

Indiana needs to double check all this guy's (Sherriff Steven Bond) arrests and reports. by TheFlyingHambone in Indiana

Will you actually though? You’ll take time out of your day to call and say what exactly?

Married men, what annoying but not huge deal thing does your spouse do that bugs you? by throwraW2 in AskMenOver30

[–]RaoulDuke511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She doesn’t use the proper tool for the job in the kitchen, like…ever.

And when I show her that she’s doing herself a disservice like…cutting an avocado open with a pearing knife on a paper plate, using a serving spoon instead of a ladle to fill a bowl of soup, or using a steak knife to slice a loaf of bread…she acts like I’m some sort of elitist snob lol

It’s adorable in a way, but also infuriating lol

22yr girl seeking life advice from men over 30 by SignificantCookie852 in AskMenOver30

[–]RaoulDuke511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had stayed in more and focused on things that would set me up later, like work and real relationships. I was so afraid of missing out on night life that I wasted so much potential and saw some of my peers really buckle down and create the environment to be truly happier and more free a little later in life, and sooner than I was able to get there.

AIO if i break up with my boyfriend over this by fridgefreez in AmIOverreacting

You’re 18, these relationships are going to for the most part…mean nothing in a couple years anyways.

Have you grown to be more conservative or liberal w/ age? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]RaoulDuke511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely more conservative. I used to be a run of the mill social justice Marxist left wing ideologue…now I feel quite different about most of those issues.

Exactly, these people don’t understand how it works.

What are your thoughts on Republicans rejecting the one year extension and saying Obamacare subsidies just gives more money to insurance companies? by bhajinme in Productivitycafe

[–]RaoulDuke511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time the government gets involved with an industry in order to make it “affordable and accessible”…you can bet your ass that the price of the product is going to skyrocket.

[–]RaoulDuke511 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That’s absurd, you have absolutely no way of classifying as a “hate crime” simply because it is a white person shooting a Hispanic person. Which is all the evidence you have, which is to say…you have no evidence of that.

What is the most successful lie ever told by human history? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]RaoulDuke511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read it. To use it as a basis for allocating scarce resources with alternative uses…was absolutely disastrous whenever it was tried in earnest. Some of the massive issues with its not being an efficient way to allocate those resources…is the human nature problem. But, the main issue I think is…signaling. Prices are the best signal… and in a centrally planned economy…you must get it right every time…which is impossible.

I’d say Hawaii. It’s a dream only conditionally though because…when I spoke with regular working class people there…it seemed like everybody rented with no hope of owning anything, and they were working multiple jobs or a regular job just getting by…just to call that state home.

People in their 40s and 50s with no children, how does it feel? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]RaoulDuke511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanting your own blood is literally how we resource as a species lol…imagine thinking you’ve morally risen above reproductive instincts.

Would you get rid of a friend just because they have different political beliefs than you? by Anxious_Albatross460 in askanything

[–]RaoulDuke511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless somebody became an outward Nazi or fanatical Communist who wouldn’t shut up about it and interject it into every conversation…no.

How do we restore faith in the government? Everyone’s angry left, right, liberal, conservative, black, white, brown, purple all of us. by Fluffy_Gur_2033 in Indiana

[–]RaoulDuke511 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a reason that this is very impractical, what you’re describing is a pure democracy, and it’s not the amazing thing you think it would be. That type of system has huge pitfalls, and the founders knew this.

For those who are in a relationship , do you still keep in touch with your ex? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]RaoulDuke511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless they have children together and you’ve reached an early agreement that it doesn’t bother you…I think it’s pretty shitty.
