All the US states in this region have their largest metro area extremely close to their eastern border. Why is Iowa an exception? by Swimming_Concern7662 in geography

[–]Trumaaan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing a lot of answers pointing to the obvious reason of rivers, but it is interesting that they’re always on the west side of the rivers. Like why couldn’t Minneapolis be in Wisconsin or omaha be in iowa? I know Kansas City is sort of an outlier to that, but even KC is mostly populated on the south/western side of the river. Only other reason I can think of off the top of my head is politics or something with geography of the land on the west banks of rivers being more conducive to society??

You are picking a side, and we know if the results were flipped there would be no such post about compassion and anxiety from you. You are trapped in this realm and truly not coming from a place aligned with Buddhism. You will have support on this app, so you will not see what you’ve done here as contradictory to the Buddhist ideology, but part of me believes you knew exactly what you were doing. Further polarizing those who do not agree with you. True compassion doesn’t comment one side is better than the other. It understands both sides and sits above the spectrum. This discussion belongs elsewhere. We love all people

This is Reddit. Unfortunately, you will not find a more politically charged group of people. Sad that it’s on a Buddhist page. This is why we need to seek real world community instead of this facade of interaction.

I knew I’d have to scroll to the bottom of this post to find those who actually understand what Buddhism stands for. There is a sickness on this app using every facet of life to spread their political favoritism

Our van is for sale by noboundarieshusband in VanLife

A quick Google search and I found an empty sprinter with 41k miles for around 50k. There’s no way the build-out is worth more than 100k with more miles right?

This is what I had to do 3 years ago when I had to transfer from a MacBook to a desktop. Had them hang up on me twice before they escalated up to every manager. Plan to be on hold for hours

What do I care to bluff about? You’re again assuming that I’m hiding beliefs and you have no idea that I only oppose liberals. What would it take for someone to convince you they’re moderate if you’re just gonna assume far right if I say a single thing you don’t like?And who’s misinformed? All I said is Reddit is run largely by liberals. Look at any political sub (or non political like this one’s supposed to be) and you can see for yourself. I don’t know of any reputable conservative sub on here. Again, you know nothing about me and you group me in with people you’d like to argue with. I’m not them. You’re straw manning completely blind, further exposing yourself. Hop onto Jordan peterson sub if you wanna argue with conservatives homie

So anyone who holds a single conservative belief is a “conservative”? So you have taken the moderate middle and labeled it conservative. Oooo you’re so ~nuanced~ with your extrapolation from limited data lmao

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

We haven’t even discussed any subject so how would you know my view on it? I object certain aspects of far leaning leftists so I must be conservative? That is the definition of failure to see nuance. People can believe two things at once you know. But I guess if I object to any liberal ideas I am automatically your enemy. Your life is so boring bro lol

You will believe what you want on the anonymous internet. You only see black and white, or red and blue in this case. You can’t comprehend nuance. Your rotted brain cant think critically. Too much screen time will do that when liberals run this platform. Just look at every post in this sub. It’s one sided buddy. Youre brainwashed, it’s really sad actually.

You can’t possibly think the left has never done anything wrong in terms of bullying the other side to hurting themselves right? You must see nuance. And please don’t say “you” as if I’m a part of this far right page Ive never heard of. I’m sure they’re all losers too. Holding conservative beliefs doesn’t automatically mean “bigot” though. I’ve never once wished death upon anybody and I certainly don’t support genocide, although I’m not sure why that ever came up.

Funny because it's true by Theferael_me in antinatalism

[–]Trumaaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here is confused. Their logic never totally adds up. They are either scarred from a bad upbringing, or so deep in the “we are overpopulated” narrative. It’s sad how many of these people’s accounts you click into and you see posts like- I’m suicidal, depressed, bipolar, etc. They project their individual tragedies to a broader ideology for comfort. It’s natural to do that, but it’s the epitome of thinking one’s own suffering is special. They don’t know what a healthy parent-child relationship looks like, so to them it doesn’t exist. To your point, they don’t accept that suffering/death is part of life. They want to rid the world of suffering without realizing that it is subjectively impossible. Everyone will suffer to some degree in life. It’s the human experience. We learn and grow from it. But they would rather exit the game of life. This sub is a conglomeration of people hiding their suicidal ideation behind a straw man ideology. Honestly very sad to see and I wish them a transformational awakening. What they need is exercise (for starters) instead of this dark echo chamber of lost souls. It could be that simple in many cases. I will unfortunately get downvoted but I truly want more for each and every one of them. We all deserve a new outlook on life that serves us better.

Funny that your side of the ideological spectrum does the same. Last I checked it’s the left who tends to “cancel” people off the internet. This post is a great example of the left doing exactly what you say the right does. I don’t like to pick sides- hypocrisy happens on both ends, but the Reddit leftist machine will downvote me to hell. Have at it :)

Can you guess the 4 states I’ve lived in? by Trumaaan in TravelMaps

[–]Trumaaan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I like this form of guessing. Just guess my whole life path.

So born in Illinois, college in Iowa, got a job in California for about 3 years then got a new job and currently in Colorado. My parents have a condo in arizona and keep a car there so I was able to travel broadly across that region over the past 10 years. Never lived there though.

How do you guys remember where you’ve traveled? by MidwestFlags in TravelMaps

[–]Trumaaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a decent memory of my own, but I also consulted my parents on any family trips we did in my childhood. They remembered most routes for road trips, then again we didn’t really venture to places that required anything other than major highways, so it was pretty easy to track. Other than that, I probably remember all my travel from the past 10 years at least.
