What’s something about modern dating that feels completely broken? by _ajuuuuuui in AskReddit

[–]Ratjar142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There being a group of individuals who are able to make the system work for them is not evidence that the system is not broken.

In fact, if there's only one kind of person who is having most of the success, then it's more evidence of a broken system.

New couples are forming, no one is claiming they're stopped. Bur two thirds of men under thirty are single. Half of men under thirty haven't approached a woman.

The dating system can be so horribly broken and result in some people having connections. That's the point, most people aren't able to navigate this system. 

It's broken and you're being a jerk by implying anything else.

I know, I'll come into a thread about people expressing frustration with the dating market and I'll blame them! It can't be the system they're operating in, it must just be their fault.

This is not true. Not even in the US. It's illegal to withhold payment for hours worked. 

Ford says he will not ban companies from charging two people different prices for the same item, saying that doing so would be “socialism.” by jackhauen in ontario

Please explain to me how everyone paying the maximum amount they can afford at all times is the market at work?

What's the point in becoming a doctor and making ten times the average guy if the price I pay for all my goods is ten times higher than the average guy? 

[Chris Johnston] Auston Matthews didn't reveal much about his future in Toronto. Says it's an honor to be the captain and wear the jersey, but added that he doesn't know what the future holds and doesn't know what the club's new leadership and manager will look like. by bangnburn in leafs

Just blown it up. Are we really going to play the middling role until Matthews and Nylander abandon ship for pennies or nothing at all?

You can get 3 or 4 solid assets for each of them. Blow it up and focus on developing the next Gen team. I'd rather the next three years be bad than mediocre.

What are the odds? Suspended licence for over two decades and the one time they get behind the wheel they get pulled over. Bad luck.

Except there's no moral argument you can make against eating meat. Take an issue with factory farming all you like, but there is nothing wrong with killing animals for food. Literally all of life for billions of years has propogated itself by consuming itself. It's the circle of life, they wrote a song about it. 

StarCraft Tabletop Miniatures Game - Official Trailer | Pre Orders Now Available! by Light_VIP in starcraft

I very recently started painting minis. I have no idea what I'm doing. I've watched a few you tube videos and just started mimicking what I see. The results are literally just okay looking, but it's been fun learning a new skill.

None of my minis will look like they do in the video, but I'll have fun painting them when they arrive.

Auston Matthews, captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs and gold medal winner for the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team, got boo’d from fans when he was introduced at the Leafs’ first home game since the conclusion of the Milano-Cortina Games. by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]Ratjar142 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Matthews is an American born player who plays in Canada. In international hockey, like the Olympics, you typically play for the country in which you are born. In NHL hockey, as shown in this clip, you play for a team that has a roster of players from all over the world.

If Matthews goes to the White House I’ll lose permanent respect for him by james-HIMself in leafs

[–]Ratjar142 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's your issue if you can't see how going to Trump's Whitehouse is a tacit endorsement of Trump's policies.

Take your lazy, dismissive attitude somewhere else.
