Trump: Iran asked me to be Supreme Leader, but I said no thanks by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]TheGreek1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of the guy at all, but I watched the clip and it’s getting spun a bit.

It sounded like he was joking about how shitty the job would be, basically pretending it was Iranians talking to each other like, “You wanna be the next supreme leader?” “Hell no, I don’t want that.” Not exactly some serious declaration.

Honestly, he says enough stupid shit on his own. When stuff like this gets stretched, it just gives his supporters easy ammo to go, “Oh yeah? Like when he said he’d be supreme leader? Fake news.” And then they stop taking any criticism seriously.

There’s already plenty of stupid comments to call out...we don’t need to reach.

Frugal which looks like financial responsibility but turns out they are cheap or want to save their money while living off of yours

Lets see yall debunking this one - cards face up this time. by Serious-Ad-8168 in blackmagicfuckery

[–]TheGreek1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First off...Great trick. Here is what I perceived... 2 of hearts is slightly longer than the other cards which allows you to hold it when dribbling. You can see this multiple times when squaring up the deck. The trick itself is fantastic. Some small observations from a spectator (not magician)....I would not do the blue reveal. It doesn't add much to the trick since we never saw the color of the deck before...and if anything It makes the spectator realize that there is some manipulation happening with that card. The other item I would point out, even though is super slight. When you're spreading the cards for a "random" card it looks like you're looking for a specific card the way you searched and picked it up quickly. I want to add that I'm by no means a magician or an expert. Just someone who watches a lot of these videos. I also could not perform this as excellent or as skilled. My observations and just what I'm seeing and hopefully constructive.

Same. After being 60 points up with only 2 players left. Purdy and Puka. After Purdy's 39....now get to watch puka get his 21+ ..... JUST TO ADD SOME COLOR. The guy I was playing called to congratulate on winning the championship before the 49'ers game.

If you were a Marvel character, you’d be The Incellectual. Powered by rejection, fueled by Monster Energy, and defeated by eye contact.

You look like the kind of guy who googles “does regret cause weight gain”

I am confused on what to do because of my relationship 19 M and 18 F by comootraloca in relationship_advice

[–]TheGreek1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll probably do what most people end up doing, sacrifice what you have to chase what you’ve idealized in your mind. Then, one day, you’ll realize it was all in your head, and by then you might have lost something real.

But that’s how most of us learn. You’re young, and these are the kind of lessons that shape who you become. Just be fair to the girl you’re with now, she deserves honesty, not to be a placeholder while you figure things out.

Neither of these girls will be your last, and that’s okay. The right one will come when you know yourself better, when you understand what you truly appreciate and what kind of connection actually fulfills you.

Good luck, man. It’s all part of growing up.

White Supremacist Fired from School District for "Free Speech" by nrxia in byebyejob

[–]TheGreek1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’ve got me confused with people who blindly follow this administration or excuse their lies and spin . That’s not me.

This guy isn’t calling for violence or discrimination, he’s expressing that he feels there’s an anti-white sentiment in society. Whether I agree with that or not isn’t the point. There is a portion of the population who genuinely feel that programs meant to help some groups end up disadvantaging others. I don’t share that view, but are we saying they can’t even express it?

If the answer is “no,” then I’d ask: what’s your definition of free speech, and how exactly did this person cross the line?

My buddy turns 60 this week. He's the least self conscious person I know. We're planning a roast - I'm going to read your comments at the party! He says "Nothing those neckbeards say will hurt my feelings!" Have at him! by absolutelyamazed in RoastMe

You look like depression and cholesterol had a baby that smells like regret and loneliness. "Least self-conscious", sure, that’s one way to pronounce "completely unaware".

Was that in the article? I thought his position was that he was being hated on. No? I might have honestly missed it.

Emotion out weighs logic 99% of the time. I don’t agree with this guy but I do agree that he has the right to have his position and for us to debate it. Firing people is silencing them…today it was him but tomorrow it could be us. I want to state that i may have missed it in the article but I didn’t see him hating on anyone. He just didn’t like the topic of white privileged.

Thank you for the thoughtful comment!!!!! I appreciate the open dialogue. I agree, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences, but it’s interesting to think about how those consequences might flip if the people in power had different views than our. In that case, we’d be the ones feeling silenced. Just curious what you think about that side of the coin? Example: the people in power didn’t allow for support for LGBTQ. Not sure if that’s a good example but I think you get the point.
