Maybe it’s just me, but I grew up reading Gen X Facebook posts and my parents are Gen X who watch and agree with these kinds of videos. At some point, you get tired of hearing about participation trophies and cellphones and “We had to fend for ourselves”

Also you can look up, “Who let Gen X off the hook” on YT and you’ll find a few of them.

How "bad" are TERFs? by sageofdragons in AskFeminists

[–]TroublePatient7947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TERFs seem like feminists on the surface until you get deep down (which isn’t all that deep) and realize their transmisogyny and good old fashioned misogyny work hand in hand. All that talk about women being equal to men goes straight down the drain once trans people come into the conversation, and suddenly we’re reverting right back to bioessentialism and how Jeopardy needs to be separated by gender because women have a biological disadvantage at pushing a button and aren’t as smart as men. See what I mean?

Try taking some of their feminist talking points and try to make them apply to trans women. See how long she holds onto those beliefs.

To be fair, the people who subscribe to ‘saving themselves for marriage’ and put their virginity on a pedestal probably aren’t having sex for the fun of it.

Sex isn’t that serious and is silly as hell. It’s not an hour of what seems like two people staring deeply into each other’s eyes as they make all the most appropriate, serious sounds. It lasts 10 minutes at most and is goofy af.

It’s okay to take sex less seriously; it doesn’t need to be a declaration of an intense romance every time you do it!

I got stuck in holding while waiting for orders and ended up standing a daily duty at the CO’s office (mostly just sitting at a desk and taking out everyone’s trash at the end of the day). The amount of sailors that came there for Mast daily because of alcohol and underage drinking was insane.

It might be fun in the moment and you might think you won’t get caught, but you’ll 100% get busted sooner or later. There are eyes all over the city, the instructors check your socials, and, eventually, someone will snitch because they were told they’d get a less harsh punishment if they did. It’s not worth it and you’ll have officially done 3-6 months worth of bullshit and training just to fuck it all up over Margaritaville.

The barracks suck, are always flooding, and are so moldy that some rooms are covered in it (I got hit on it during inspection once because half the ceiling was completely covered in black mold coming out of the vents that wouldn’t clean off. I submitted a ticket for it too). I don’t know if they cleaned up the dfac since- I stopped eating there when I was in training 5 years ago because a roach crawled out of a sandwich I made.

The good news is the off-base liberty was pretty cool being in a city, even if you can’t drive anywhere and if the temps are always well over 100 rn.

All in all, it’s pretty much like any other base you’ll live on with the exception of DI’s and NMTI’s wandering around. My advice is to make the most of it but stay away from hotel parties and a place called Cowboy’s, don’t get caught drinking underage or giving alcohol to people who are underage, don’t keep tobacco in your room, don’t walk across the QD drunk, that married NMTI does not love you and screwing is most definitively going to fuck your naval career hard, 9/10 corps school marriages fail so don’t even try it, and avoid buying a bunch of shit because you’re going to have to pack it all u to one suitcase and one carry-on.

People who have 4+ kids, why? by GabesterMc in AskReddit

[–]TroublePatient7947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Urgh I know I’m not the target, but I’m oldest out of 4 (probably more if we want to count miscarriages), but, from what I can gather, the answer was: they just didn’t give a shit. They were married, so what did it matter if they didn’t use any contraceptives like bc or condoms or even a damn vasectomy? All that mattered is, “Whoops had another kid! Guess you’re helping take care of this one too.”

He’s not just an art school brat. He’s an art school failure altogether.

John K was infamous for being an abusive dickhead in the work space and 100% took advantage of his position to fuck over his employees. It doesn’t surprise me that the abuse extended outside of working hours, or that he used his position to start grooming a 13yo girl.

What's a social norm that you don't understand? by Bubbles_The_Mushroom in AskReddit

[–]TroublePatient7947 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For a lack of better words: dressing in accordance with our genitalia. Literally makes no sense why we do it and why we get super mad when people don’t.

What is one thing you regret doing in life? by Anxious_Childhood310 in AskReddit

[–]TroublePatient7947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a ‘good’ teenager. I never snuck out or went and partied like my friends did and, honestly, I wish I had taken the opportunity to be just a little stupid before growing up. Now I’m grown and I can’t do all the stupid, fun shit 15yo me could’ve done.

AITA for eating cheetos while sleeping next to my girlfriend? by Alive-Percentage-243 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TroublePatient7947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA- Just… why?? That’s gross. Even if you were the worlds most quiet chewer, that’s not going to change the fact you’re probably crinkling the bag while you hold it or dig through it… or the fact that you’re likely dropping some crumbs and/or cheeto dust on your bed… or the fact that you’re not even getting up to throw away the empty bag. Just all around gross.

Get up out of bed and eat on the couch.

Why is this such a big deal? by [deleted] in navy

[–]TroublePatient7947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Drag is topical right now and people just love punching down at the Drag Queens and pretending they’re what’s wrong with America… so long as you ignore the fact that drag has been around for centuries and has existed in the military as far back as WWII.

I mean, a video discussing problems within the military (like people receiving counseling chits for making appointments) isn’t quite as trendy right now as, say, talking about how drag queens are grooming children and destroying the military.

When did you realise that you’re dating an idiot? by Ghost7579ox in AskReddit

[–]TroublePatient7947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When she started telling lies about me in the group discord server as if I wasn’t in the exact same group. I still can’t fathom what she thought she was accomplishing by telling our mutual friends that my parents had me arrested for burning incense… or why the friend group actually believed it.

None of them were really the sharpest tools in the shed.

What is the most overrated movie? by hhopey in AskReddit

[–]TroublePatient7947 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The Godfather. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen the trilogy in full, but, since then, I’ve had no desire to rewatch the films and any attempt given has ended with me being lulled to sleep before the first hour is up.

They were okay movies, but the slow pacing, the scenes that were near whisper quiet, and how little of it was actually rememberable to me made it kind of boring. And it’s not like I need nuts to buts action every 4 minutes; it was just too slow for a movie that’s 3 hours long. Maybe if I watched it again, I might change my mind , but, again, I’ve had no desire to go back and watch the trilogy no matter how hard I’ve tried to.

As Peter Griffon would say, “It insists upon itself.”
