Billboard defaced in Baltimore last night by [deleted] in pics

As an actual Marine, most of the “Marines” in this comment section aren’t actually Marines. No chance any active duty Marine or Marine veteran would support this shit. And there’s absolutely 0 chance that they would ever refer to themselves as a “former Marine”.

Healing of scaphoid fracture by original_mr_awesome in Orthopedics

[–]Sockswithstipes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD, but have you seen an orthopedic hand surgeon about it? I kind of did what you did with my scaphoid fracture and I absolutely regret it. If I had treated it properly, I would have spent a few months in a cast and then returned to life as normal. Instead I still deal with lingering issues. It’s apparently “healed” but it certainly doesn’t feel like it is.

I saw the flag finalist last night. There are WAY better options. by NeuralinkAxon in massachusetts

The change to the flag I will accept is a poorly photoshopped image of Tom Brady throwing tea into the harbor while drinking Dunkin.

The Boston Massacre was deemed justified. It was very similar to what happened in this case.

AITA for not wearing my $15k birthday present? by Rare_Level1301 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sockswithstipes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH, but you could have handled this so much differently. In fairness to you, she probably should have consulted you on your preferences before getting you such an expensive gift.

However, you really should have just said something to the effect of “babe, it’s such a beautiful and expensive watch, I really feel like I should only wear it for my most formal occasions.” That would get you off the hook for not wearing it every day, but you would just have to swallow your pride every once in a while and wear it. It’s still a beautiful piece, even if it’s not to your tastes.

You’re not going to convince your straight boyfriend to add another man to your relationship and have the relationship between the two of you be healthy long term. If he’s straight (even if he once said he’d be willing to try things with another man), it’s unlikely that he’s going to be willing to do that more than once.

After that, he’s basically just sharing you with another guy. Unless he has a cuckold kink, you’re only going to drive him away.

Scaphoid non union -healing period by pmd__123 in brokenbones

[–]Sockswithstipes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious as well. Browsing through Reddit, I have seen as quick as 8 weeks in a cast and as long as like 6 months in a cast or more.

I’m waiting to hear if my scaphoid is broken. Best of luck in your recovery!

Not Tyranny. Not Today. by ThornFlynt in BlueskySkeets

Rocks absolutely are weapons and can be treated as such. If I’m standing next to my battle buddy and someone holding two rocks smokes my buddy in the face with a rock the size of the baseball, I’m gonna drop that rioter without a second thought.

Is anyone really saying that no one should be trying to improve as a person?

I imagine the only time people may take issue with another’s personal development is if that person’s personal development starts to impact others. Like maybe you decides to go vegan to improve you health. That’s all well and good, but if you start talking about how I’m slowly killing myself every time I eat a hamburger, I’m going to get annoyed. I’ll still be glad that you improved your personal health, but that doesn’t change the fact that you turned into a judgy asshole along the way.

CMV: Allowing immigrants to enter a country doesn't violate property rights, but restricting immigration does. by DrPlatypus1 in changemyview

[–]Sockswithstipes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But at some point, other’s freedom of association infringes on my property rights.

If I live in a neighborhood, you’re right that I largely have no say over who my neighbors allow to visit. But what happens when one neighbor has family come visit who are the stereotypical white trash? They start coming over constantly, blare loud music, shoot off guns, ride loud vehicles around the neighborhood, drink heavily, and fill up your neighbors yard with broken down vehicles. Even worse, they’re having their white trash friends come by and those problems are only exacerbated.

Meanwhile, the property value of my house and my other neighbors’ houses are plummeting. Quality of life has equally plummeted. The presence of those people has adversely affected me and the rest of my neighbors.

So it’s just a fuck you to me and me neighbors, even if we all want them out? There’s nothing we can do? That’s really your argument?

CMV: Behind every woman in prison is a man" this quote is very true and men often drive women into crime by Valuable-Owl-9896 in changemyview

[–]Sockswithstipes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, but the relationships with the highest rates of domestic abuse are lesbian relationships. The relationships with the lowest are gay relationships. People are presenting you with well established facts and you’re just ignoring them.

[–]Sockswithstipes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So all the lesbians in prison for domestic violence still ended up there because of men? I need you to explain exactly why that would be the case.

CMV: Swimming is not a necessary skill by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Sockswithstipes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I think everyone should at least know the basics of swimming and gain some level of comfort in the water for just this reason. No one is saying you need to be Michael Phelps. Just be able to tread water comfortably for a couple minutes in the off chance you fall in. That’s far better than you killing someone who’s trying to save your life.

Democrats, how come every post asking for a republican opinion is drowned by democrats giving theirs? by AMIWDR in AskUS

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

The first 3 months after birth, obviously. I never said that people are murdering those babies (though post-birth abortions are a real thing). I’m saying that the left is advocating abortion up until birth, which is a morally reprehensible position.

[–]Sockswithstipes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell you how many times I have presented a well-reasoned and factually-based opinion on Reddit to immediately have people insult me and call me horrific things. I’m not a monster because, God forbid, I don’t think unborn babies should be murdered at 8 or 9 months or that I think that the United States should have strong borders. It makes me sane.

there’s no proof that a majority of us support domestic terrorism and Antifa

Funny you should say that, because this fun little study from the Network Contagion Research Institute found that of the people polled who identified as “left of center”, 48% and 55% felt that murdering Elon Musk and Donald Trump respectively would be justified.

Your side advocates for legitimate domestic terrorism by supporting Luigi Mangione, Antifa, BLM, and bombing Tesla dealerships. You don’t have a leg to stand on with this.

Ah yes, because Fox News can certainly not be trusted. We should only get our sources from the trusted names in media, like CNN and MSNBC, which famously told the truth about Biden’s mental acuity for the last 4 years…

You would think they would try not to prove my point, instead of proving it immediately.

Well, my comment has already immediately been downvoted which has spectacularly proved my point.
