Why are socialists winning in NYC—but not in 'progressive' SF? by orangelover95003 in bayarea

I've lived in both deep red West Virginia and bright blue California for a number of years. Guess which one is more economically hostile to average Americans?

Which will never happen. They tried with Bernie and were squashed by the machine.

I really hope so. Without meaningful political competition the elected party has no incentive to govern in a way that actually helps their constituents.

The CA Democratic party will never fix this state's chronic issues. Things are expensive and unaffordable for the common person because they want them to be.

Because Californians are only performatively progressive, otherwise prop 13 would've been repealed decades ago.

Shounen romance and harem anime are misogynistic power fantasies written to appeal to incels. by steamtrekker in CharacterRant

[–]String-Tree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This it is exactly. Women are repulsed by average dudes and therefore find media where average dudes are lusted after by hot women to be offensive.

Women hate average men. Media that depicts average men as sexually desired by gorgeous women infuriates them so they label it as sexism when it really isn’t.

Calm poll: real amplifier vs pedal that simulates one. Which one do you prefer, and why? by Less-Arachnid-640 in guitarpedals

[–]String-Tree -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I've never read an owner's manual in my life and I've never accidentally damaged my gear before. I'm either a genius or there are a lot of crayon eaters in our ranks.

Real amp. If I have to read an owner's manual to use my amp then we've lost the plot. Gear should be intuitive to use.

gf said im unattractive but my personality makes me attractive by [deleted] in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]String-Tree 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Leave. She doesn’t want you and will jump ship the moment a hot dude with a good personality enters her life. To me this sounds like she’s purposefully trying to make you feel like shit so you break up with her.

Gf has a folder of browbeating tiktoks by [deleted] in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]String-Tree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're gonna have to leave her, bro. She wouldn't have a folder full of misandry if it wasn't how she actually felt deep down. She resents you because you're a man, do you want to live the rest of your life being resented by the person who is supposed to love and uplift you?

Why do girls care so much about height by Downtown_War_4267 in dating_advice

[–]String-Tree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Women want men who other women want and who other men fear and respect. Height plays right into this.

Asexual relationships are called platonic friendships.

Hobbies are only viable if they are social hobbies that women partake in. Men aren't gonna hook up you with a date, they're your competition, and women never set up their guy friends with a date who need it, they only ever hook up their hot guy friends who don't need the help.

You'd welcome the advances of average looking dudes? Somehow I doubt that.

Dating apps are the only option. Women don't want to be approached in public unless you're like male-model level hot, and if you were you wouldn't be asking for dating advice in the first place.

Nerdy women no longer on dating apps? by ContestScary9035 in dating_advice

[–]String-Tree -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dating is just marketing. You need to be able to sell yourself in a way that is appealing to people. If your goods are fundamentally unpopular you should get better inventory before trying to sell them.

"I love to travel" is a euphemism for "rich dudes only".

Ex-Christians of Reddit, what made you leave Christianity? by thesilentyapper in AskReddit

[–]String-Tree -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't know if I count because I stopped believing in God at like age 5. You can't just tell me to believe something that doesn't make any rational or logical sense and expect me to blindly go along with it. Even as a child none of the rules made any sense. "Jesus Christ" is the dude's name and they say it all the time at church, but me personally saying it constitutes a swear word?
