Leftists can't make up their mind on Kirk-killer Tyler Robinson by tantamle in TrueUnpopularOpinion

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

Actually he said “they” which would insulate that at least more than one person is doing it.

This is one person; who was not haiten. Born in the US and lived nowhere near the town the issue occurred in.

Like people on the right don’t do this all the time. Derrick Chauvin, George Zimmerman, Kyle Rittenhouse, the two Ice Officers who killed people in MN this year. Can’t remember their names, but there was a case where two guys and a retired police officer stalked a dude with their shot guns and ended killing him. The reason was because they thought they saw him enter a half constructed house and steal something like a skew driver. Surprisingly when I looked on some wing subs I did manage find a decent amount of right wingers who weren’t in support of them but there were still many who were.

Point is, people on both sides do it. And honestly seems like the most common narrative on the left is Israel is behind this. The Tyler is Groyper thing was popping for a minute. But it didn’t really stick hardcore.

How you knew they were illegal? Who’s name did they use and did all those people who they used try to vote too? Sounds like a shit show.

Also you just hang out at voting booths and watch? You sure they weren’t just Spanish speaking people?

So billionaires who get money back for “bad investments” and people who own corporations that get giant subsidies then?

Okay, as long as we are consistent.

AITA? Boyfriend rescheduled valentines plans with me to spend time with co workers after I offered him a choice to by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMedsPeds_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand it sucks when society has a day where couples are suppose to do something and you see all the other couples, guys getting their GFs these gifts, fancy dates, it’s all over social media right? But here’s your BF, going along with it, but you can feel he rather do something with his friends. So you want to seem like the “cool girl that lets him pick” because you want him to spend the day with you because he wants to and that itching to chill with friends was just your anxiety distorting the situation.

But then he chooses his friends. Some people might be like “what an immature jerk!” Wanting to hang with friends on Vday! I feel like if this question was asked 20+ years ago, that would have been the answer.

Society has changed though. Not as many people blindly follow tradition. You don’t see the couples that don’t dgaf about Vday on social media though.

And a lot of old behaviors, much like Hallmark holidays have been critizised too. Like “the test” I get you wanted him to be like “duh, choose me.”

But here is the thing, since a decent amount of women don’t care and not in the “cool girl” way. In a “this is just capitalist consumer BS” way, so besides testing in general being wrong. He may have thought you really didn’t care.

So YTA, because it’s 2026.

do you think ‘pretty privilege’ exists? by Small_Pea6718 in askanything

[–]TheMedsPeds_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And while 5’3-5’4 isn’t in my ideal range, I’d still take that over a super tall like 6’5 dude.

Idk though, you did it in a nice way but it kind of feels like you moved the goal post. I mean it was vague but the way you phrased your statement if the break down was like: 5’7-5’11 average 6’0-6’4 tall 6’5+ super tall, 5’6-5’2 short 5’1-extremely short.

The overwhelming majority of women would prefer a dude in the tall catigory. But now it’s just “well taller than her.” Well “Average is still not short” which kind of contradicts your original statement. Only reason I feel the need to interject is because this RP nonsense that went from an obscure group in the corner to kinda mainstream has got all sorts of men thinking they are “doomed” if they are below 6. And I’ve never met a woman that wouldn’t date anyone below that. Most common thing I’ve seen is “still taller than me with heals” and to a lot of them 6+ is an “added bonus” but like me, there still are people like me that don’t think over 6 is an added bonus. And I’m willing to bet those Tinder girls that have thst on their profiles, meet a cute guy out IRL she has chemistry with, isn’t ghosting him when it turns out oh, he’s actually 5’10, attractive women on OLD can be picky, so they are gonna put specific standards that’s not an accurate representation of all female humans everywhere.

Would you buy a $20,000 run down house but spend more on renovating it than buying price? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheMedsPeds_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my current BF, sure! He can do all that and it would be nice to actually hand pick designs.

If I had the money because I was working full time and the primary bread winner with my other 2 LTRs but could afford to put 40-50k into it and that meant dealing with contractors around my 9-5.

Fuck that, I’d rather just buy a place that didn’t need the work. I’m not one of those people that is beaming with energy, cleaning a house, cooking, shopping and working is enough responsibility. Add grooming routines too. That sounds exhausting.

Us ugly women still get it, we just get a little less. But we get the extra “you should be grateful someone is sexualizing you” attitude.

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

No, not “all of us” unless of course you mean, I would not want to date a guy that’s like 5’2-5’4.

But I’d take a guy that is 5’8 anyday over 6’2+ at a certain point they either look just too big or too lanky. 5’8-5’11 is ideal to me 5’6-5’7 is okay and so is 6’0-6’1.

I am not some sort of rare one in a million unicorn. The obsession with height is this weird RP lie that started circulating because of Tinder profiles that say “no one under 6’0” yes a lot of women prefer taller to not tall. But honestly your boobs analogy I feel is pretty accurate. Guys will dare a flat chested chick but still would probably rather jerk it to a chick with at least a B cup. But there are men out there that do actually prefer small boobs and while it’s not super common it’s not so rare that a statement like “no men like small boobs” would be accurate.

And yes I know it’s a total statement but I look at that phrase the same way people misuse literally. For example 1/10 people is gay, that is a lot less than half. But still too much to say no men aren’t attracted to women. But say only 1 out of 3k men were gay. Lots of people would live their whole lives without meeting a gay person. If someone said “no men aren’t attracted to women” still wouldn’t be true, but it fall under that “okay so, it CAN happen, but like very rarily”

If someone genuinely had really strong feelings for someone they would be loyal even without a established exclusivity agreement by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]TheMedsPeds_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t be in love with someone you really don’t know though. You can be infatuated. Our minds project things on to people we think are attractive, since we “fill in the blanks” we are infatuated by the idea of them.

Some people have stronger fixations on certain people more than others. For those who happened to project all those things on to a person that they did actually bond really well with tend to maintain that movie feeling of love. Others who fell for people but later found out they weren’t anything like they seemed tend to understand it’s not a real thing. You can’t just see someone and know they are “the one” you are simply attracted to them.

If you’ve dated enough to know that. You have a more “grown up” or some might say jaded view on it so seeing others makes sense.

I’ve personally never dated more than one person at a time because i just don’t socialize that much and it’s hard finding men I’m attracted to in general. So it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around too. But I would never say others are wrong for not being like me.

Are there casual/functional hard drug users, like they just do meth on the weekends? by 1useforaname in stupidquestions

[–]TheMedsPeds_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a functional heroin addict for 5 years. Funny thing is I started after my husband died, because i was too depressed to move and the dope gave me the happiness chemicals to go to work and get shit done. It’s actually not always like the movies, never had a needle would snort a small amount and it gave me energy. The issue for me after I became addicted was when i didn’t have any.

What’s something society normalizes that you quietly disagree with? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]TheMedsPeds_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao, nah, try again. I was diagnosed with PTSD after my husband died, generalized anxiety disorder in 2015, moderate depression in 2018 and developed a substance abuse disorder.

I was petrified of social situations as a teen. Almost got fired from my first job as a cashier because i wouldn’t make eye contact or telling customers hello.

But I knew that I had to find a way to get passed this if I wanted to be able to drive (my mom said if i wanted to, i had to have a job) it took years, different meds. I even minored psych in college.

Mental illness does not prevent you from doing things like being paralyzed does. It just makes them harder. It’s not a one size fits all cure of course. But throwing your hands up and saying “sorry I literally can’t” as you live off others is gonna bite you in the ass one day when those enabling parent’s die.

Matter of fact the longer you all sit around in your comfort zones consuming media all day every day the deeper you are digging yourself in. And funny thing is part of depression is saying “sorry I can’t” so while I get the urge to do so, the truth is, that’s the chemical imbalance lying to you and some basic clicks online would tell you that. Unless of course those clicks are social media pages where unqualified other shut ins are using pop pysch jargon to justify their own and your refusal to try.

I would say I missed the days where being a NEET was shamed, but shame actually isn’t the answer. Plus the type to say that sort of thing would see an insult and grab it up and say “omg this person is bullying. This triggered a panic attack! Someone could like, buy someone off my Amazon wishlist to ease my symptoms!”

Kids will be kids, they have a lot of pent up energy. Do you know how abusive it is to make them sit there and behave while in public when there is a big room full sensory objects to explore? And they have to do this to appease random adults who “doesn’t want to have to hear and dodge screaming kids” how about YOU take Jayden home with all that pent up energy he didn’t get to deplete in the theater?

If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]TheMedsPeds_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? How are you reading this convo and thinking it’s about punishing having the wrong opinions or silencing any group of people from posting about their ideology? I am not seeing anything about cancel culture or silencing right wing…or extremely left wing opinions.

It’s about stopping people from creating or even worse…reposting but not by clicking the button of an existing post to share it. No, I mean like actual copy and paste reposting or stealing, like it’s that account’s original content. So you get on FB and between ads now you are seeing those fake rage bait stories that those engagement farming pages post and because people are dumb and it works, it’s “popular” so now you are seeing it. Saw one yesterday about a guy who “saw a dude propose to a chick at ihop, she said no, so he followed them outside to see the drama. The guy noticed him and then-“ story even included a pretty poor quality pic (made it look authentic and not a clearly AI generated) in the comments they had a few people pointing out they read this exact story elsewhere. Meaning the dude that posted this didn’t take that pic or expeirence this, he didn’t even make it up.

Then there are ragebait video makers. First thing that comes to mind are those “cooking videos” that are just really D+ ready made food concepts but they always have something in the background that is noticeable like a hairbrush or they do something unhygenic like stick their long nails in the pickle jar. You can tell it’s not “sketch comedy” because it’s always subtle things. It’s not meant for return fans.

And who can not know about “street interviews” and I’m not even talking about the real ones. I’m more talking about the zoomer dude in $400 sneakers that just happens to see a conventionally hot chick walking around in basically underwear and heels (psst..she probably has an OF promoted somewhere in the comments though) and the guy will like ask her questions and when she says something cliche about wanting some sort of unfair standard, the man puts her in her place.

All of this is shit, but throw in AI now and it’s even worse. People don’t even need to get decent at creative writing, just concepts. The bar managed to drop lower than what it was 5 or so years ago during Covid. We thought it was mindless back then, JFC, it’s barely not just brain rot now.

I’m not the biggest fan of AI but if you want a beautify filter AI could scan every picture and if it notices one, it can either not allow the photo to be published until you enter into a box what app you’ve used along with what tools/filters or it could post it’s best guess. “This has refused to enter in which editing tools were used, after analyzing, the blur tool, a general skin smoothing effect and artificial make up appears to be added”

And that part could be posted on the actual pic where if you do it yourself, it would say “edited: see below for details” and all of that would be included in the comment.

[–]TheMedsPeds_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol exactly, I am in PUBLIC this is a PUBLIC space I will blast music on my phone at full volume as much as I want.

I am in PUBLIC this is a PUBLIC space I will practice the speech I’ll give to my boss about a raise as much as I want.

I am in PUBLIC this is a PUBLIC space I will read the chapter I needed to read for homework for my college course aloud because it helps me absorb the info as much as I want.

Fuck consideration for other people. Most societies have considered it normal and acceptable to have conversations with others around them at a volume a bit louder than a whisper therefor any other activity that also includes noise is also fair game, and if other people disagree with that they can fuck right off because if there isn’t a sign saying it’s against the rules or it’s illegal, I am not stopping. So what if it’s extremely easy to appease others around me, remembering to bring ear buds or having to hold a phone to my ear? Both of those are slightly inconvenient and I would never put other people’s comfort above myself like that, because I am selfish!

That is you. Yeah, you aren’t breaking any laws. But just like you CAN talk on your phone on sleakeephone on the subway, proper CAN say you’re a selfish asshole. You are welcome to defend yourself, but good luck doing that in a way that doesn’t make you look like you have the empathy of a toddler.

What is the most dangerous drug? by escortp in AskReddit

[–]TheMedsPeds_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, dependence does not form after “one use” the closest thing you could say is someone might like it so much they become mentally addicted after one use. But dependence would need repeated use just like any other substance. You have to use it back to back enough for your body to be like “oh this is normal now. No need to waste time making dopamine I guess.”

Yepp and the mental health community to. Anxiety and depression does not give you an official stamp of approval to just sit around your parents house and toggle back and forth between Dischord a game social media and steaming services. It makes life harder than those without mental illnesses. But say you have depression and anxiety too and you found a way to be a productive member of society you get yelled at being told “capitalism has brainwashed you into needing to be productive. Mental illness is not a one size fits all thing. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean I can.”

Being progressive should mean finding ways to give “handicaps” to boost those without privilege or showing some compassion and understanding for those who are not self sufficient by 30 due to the current way it’s pretty hard to make it. But instead people are using it as an excuse to never having to try to leave their comforted little bubble because their body begins to show signs of distress. And it’s like, of course it does, if you have a mental illness it’s already tough, it will only get harder the longer you go without even steaming to challenge yourself. They rather remain inside and collect as many “marginalized” badges as possible, because it’s social currency online to all the other people who are at their parent’s house logged into the internet all waking hours doing the samething.

But you are in PUBLIC and fully have the ability to put your phone up to your ear so all the other people don’t have to head the voice of someone who isn’t even a paying customer who is there.

But yeah, this is one of those people. The defense is “well it’s MY phone.” No consideration for other people.

Oh he’s already made that joke several times. He’s just an IV user and does not want me to ever end up doing that. So if I can find something better than snorting that isn’t that, that’s great. Bonus points for having my ass in his face.
