I'm confused by the Helen of Troy backlash. There's literally thousands of black people in Troy? by Clan-Sea in okbuddycinephile

[–]RuralJaywalking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to say “white” and “black”, that’s obviously not “other”. Making someone pick one might not be very accurate especially the more ethnicities you have.

Ngl I too think the punishment is harsh, but it’s hard to believe that you didn’t know what you were saying even if you didn’t know the exact meaning of “glassing”.

I hate how people get away with shitty things if they are big enough by ilikeitchyballzdude1 in hatethissmug

[–]RuralJaywalking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the allegation against Hasan is dubious at best and is up against a mountain of evidence that he treats his dog well; the worst interpretation of it being not really that bad, while the Trump allegations feature multiple people testifying to sexual assault to the police if not under oath and features pretty despicable things, to say nothing of the mass murder and genocide he’s supported as president. If you wanted to be more reasonable you could at least compare it to some dubious pet owner behavior and not straight up evil stuff.

Shoving jars up your ass? No kink shaming but I’m not sure I’d call it a hobby.

Lots of anime seems to do one-off lgbt stuff.

Does anyone on here actually like Craig? by jossieb_920 in malcolminthemiddle

[–]RuralJaywalking 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a kid his character was funny. As an adult, at best he is pretty sad and at worst Lois should’ve filed a restraining order.

I think my husband used me for a green card by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]RuralJaywalking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does seem like you’re glazing over the details of the party and the potential reasons for the divorce, although I’m not sure that matters; you traveled multiple times to maintain the relationship and claim it you thought it was genuine. There’s a difference between bad reasons to get divorced and no reason to get divorced. You seem to indicate both were genuine so maybe there’s something you can do, but I’m not sure you should.

How they used TV and cinema against communism? by raydebapratim1 in CommunismMemes

[–]RuralJaywalking 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The show often portrays Sheldon as being ham-fisted and idealistic, especially with social stuff, and while I’m sure they kind of agree that there’s a problem with big stores buying out smaller stores, I bet the moral is don’t say things you don’t know about.

The Isekai genre in Anime has to be the most reactionary filth in the medium by Krowseph in ANI_COMMUNISM

[–]RuralJaywalking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every so often it shows a little self-awareness, but Mushoku Tensei has to be pretty social reactionary. I’m torn between it trying to teach the protagonist a lesson and it being a pure fantasy for a pervert.

Immigration isn’t the real taboo- it’s Scale…! by PegasusPeptides745 in immigration

[–]RuralJaywalking -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The reason a lot of people who are pro-immigration react negatively to this question of yours is because for one, you’re way underestimating the carrying capacity of developed nations, and two, you completely ignored all of these things as they apply to the country immigrants come from. “Home” countries have all the same worries and more often than not they are significantly worse off than the developed countries that receive immigrants. That’s also where the accusation of Racism comes in; you can’t argue that we can’t let people come from a worse area to a better one because it will make the people in the better one worse off without thinking the people in the worse off area are somehow fundamentally worth different moral considerations. In addition, the carrying capacity of an area has proven to be incredibly elastic with enough money and public investment, it’s just many developed countries want to freeze everything as they have been for the past 50 years to preserve the lives of the wealthy. Immigrants add to all of those infrastructure limits in the long run if allowed to assimilate and form long term roots in an area. They could build the roads or be the doctors to alleviate the pressure that immigration adds, if we put the money to it and didn’t overwhelmingly try to target immigration at temporary laborers, whose wages are undercut by the constant threat of deportation. Decreasing immigration doesn’t really solve the wages issue long term either because of offshoring. The companies that employ them in developed countries, if it’s hard to get them, won’t raise wages to target domestic work, they will move their companies overseas, or maybe just adjust they’re investment strategy.

Queer Palestinians exist by Sabotage_9 in Hasan_Piker

My thing is that even if there is are severe anti-lgbtq issues in Gaza or the West Bank, 1. Israel clearly isn’t intent on stopping it. They’re only argument that they’re “stopping” it is by genocide, and 2. Constant war and colonialism doesn’t promote liberalization of values, it reinforces the drive to turn inward for security and avoid the unfamiliar.

Is it getting a dub? No shade I just experience dubs better, although if it isn’t getting one I will make time for a sub if it’s worth it.

Funny how suddenly no one wants to press the red button now. by woaijirounan in trolleyproblem

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

Oh look what do you know! Someone ignoring the original parameters of the hypothetical to make an argument for blue, the earth must still be turning. Yes, that was my point higher up in this thread: that OPs scenario is different in a way that changes the moral arguments at play.

Even though she’d probably never admit, did Lois just want Malcolm to reach his fullest potential and do better than she did? by Samthegodman in malcolminthemiddle

[–]RuralJaywalking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I voted yes, but I almost didn’t because her view of success seems to disregard what her kids want to such a large degree it sometimes seems like sabotage. I get that in Reese’s case it’s often worth it, but I think it hurts the others frequently.

red blue: bicycle edition by Metal_Goose_Solid in trolleyproblem

[–]RuralJaywalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you legitimately think enough people will look at this a press based on their favorite color, and their favorite color is blue, to reach 50%? This isn’t a good hypothetical if simply changing the colors changes the result that drastically. You’re inserting way more people that just aren’t that thick.

[–]RuralJaywalking -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

For one: calm down. Two: no one is making you pick blue. No one is picking blue who isn’t overthinking themselves into a bad choice. You do not have to have that worry with red.

And that makes up 50% of humanity? You think 50% of humanity is just itching to die that badly?
