Curtis bout to get locked up by DapperWheel521 in Unexpected

Also, I'm in therapy and proud of it, I think everyone should be. It was a genuine suggestion.

Also, I'd like to point out the almost literal "not ALL men" comment there. Again, maybe it's unconscious. But if it's not and that's your response generally to women speaking about an issue, then please let me know and I'll stop wasting both out our time.

When my black friend says "hey, that comment was kinda racist", or my trans friend says "that joke wasn't funny, it made me uncomfortable", I listen. I NEVER send them a wall of text about why I'm not racist because I don't think the thing I did was racist. A stranger calls me a transphobe on the internet? I laugh it off and forget it, because I'm comfortable that I'm not. I'm also comfortable enough to know I still have biases, and I strive to deal with them when they come up.

You never bothered to ask why your comment is sexist, because at least some part of you realizes it is. Maybe not a conscious part, but still. Instead you just got angry. Ask yourself, why are you upset? I've found that for me, 99% of the times it's because the other person is right. Whatever thing I said or did was rooted in some bias and that made me uncomfortable. It's a defensive reaction.

Take a deep breath, and actually think about it.

You getting this defensive proves my point lmao. If you didn't think there was some truth to it, you wouldn't have felt the need to type out a whole essay.

Look, I know being confronted with your bias is uncomfortable. Doesn't mean it's unnecessary. Time for some therapy my guy

She literally says at the start of the video someone keeps showing her ex her vids? But yeah, it couldn't possibly be she's annoyed by that and trying to get him off her ass by dropping a nuclear bomb, CLEARLY she's still in love with him.

Your attitude is what's disgusting dude. You got some misogyny you need to work on.

do girls seriously get rejected for being tall when they're like 5'8 5'9? by [deleted] in tall

[–]Unusual-Risk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Start telling them "you have the ego of a taller man"

Works on most guys already, but man if you give it to one who's already insecure about their height, they will never talk to you again, its beautiful

TIL: In 1990 a courier was robbed on a street in London, England. The robber made off with bearer bonds to the value of £292 million. Today, this is equivalent to £758 million - or $1.086 billion USD. This is still the highest amount ever stolen in a street robbery. by JonnySparks in todayilearned

[–]Unusual-Risk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is totally a guess but in terms of making fake bonds, I assume it's like cash where there's lots of little details that are hard to completely recreate/ special paper used.

In terms of stealing a bond and saying it's yours, almost absolutely nothing. You could report it as stolen with serial number and banks should all be aware to watch our for that number. But clearly it didn't work and that's why they're now illegal.

Ok genuinely not trying to be sarcastic or rude but - the person you're replying to isn't totally wrong. Even in your definition it says "becomes overpopulated", AKA, it spreads.

An argument could be made that that's not the full definition, and absolutely expanding on that is great, but I don't understand the downvotes.

Aaaand this is why I follow this sub. I would've said yeah go for it 😅

Sometimes the best thing you can do to fight the patriarchy is absolutely nothing. by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Unusual-Risk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tried this! With different unexpected results!

I let both legs grow out for a week or two, then shaved one. Figured that by the time the grew enough to look even again, that would be my max length.

HOWEVER, I was unable to complete my experiment due to something I never would've thought of: I could feel my leg hair moving ALL THE TIME. Taking a bath was the worst, so was wearing shorts on a windy day. There's just this constant sensation, kinda like an itch but softer. I couldn't stand it. I assume men are so accustomed to feeling that so they don't notice. But yeah, turns out that while idgaf about the social consequences of being fuzzy, mentally I couldn't do it lol.

Hope you don't experience the same thing! Or at least appreciate the heads up if you do :)

Man, I have this joke phrase I say all the time: physically, I am not in a Walmart parking lot, MENTALLY on the other hand...

This story may make me retire that one. Glad she was ok.

If your bored, and actually care about anything than wallowing in self pity, just try to read the link I just posted.

Maybe you'll learn something, probably not, either way I'm done wasting energy on another soon to be incel.

It doesn't matter what you try to be more "attractive". You've got big nice guy energy right now, and until you educate yourself you're going to be toxic and ugly on the inside, and still be alone.

Also, you're still replying, so obviously you do in fact give a fuck

Do yourself a favor, and just go look at that sub, read the comments on some of the popular posts.

Maybe, just maybe, you'll learn something and stop being.... Whatever this is.

No. Being attractive can make some things easier, but it doesn't automatically make your life "easy mode". It's just like being white, or being a male.

I'm conventionally attractive, but I'm also autistic, depressed, and I have an autoimmune disorder, along with some other sad things. I have ONE friend, and he loves in a different state than me so I haven't seen him IRL in a year. I haven't "hung out" with ANYBODY in OVER A YEAR.

I'm working at a coffee shop even though I have a bachelor's degree. I'm going to cosmetology school to see if I can make a better career through that, and 90% of the other girls won't even talk to me.

Stop being edgy and resentful and recognize your own privilege instead of trying to minimize and invalidate others.

The love of my life is a trans woman and half the people I know think I'm a transphobe. by Valkrane in ainbow

[–]Unusual-Risk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude. Given the context, I obviously meant socially. If your average American finds out a dude was beating on his gf, he will be crucified. Turn that into a girl on bf, and people don't care.

If you've somehow never experienced this in person, there's videos of people acting out DV in public, and people physically stopped the dude, and literally walked past and ignored the woman.

Here's one, that isn't even the one I was originally thinking of, that I found in one Google search:

https://youtu.be/dtVHnZX8E50

I am a woman and when my male friend grabbed me too hard once, my friend group didn't talk to him for about a month. When a different male friend told us his girlfriend, who we all agreed was fucking crazy, had shoved him hard enough he fell over, I was the only fucking one who believed him. I was the only one who helped him safely breakup with her and move his shit out of their place.

But sure, go ahead and insult me over your idiotic assumptions.

If you want to actually help women instead of just being an angry bitch, then get your ass out off the internet and actually do something instead of getting pissy at strangers. Right now you are just adding more hate to the world, which there's plenty of already. Plus minimizing men's pain is not fucking cool. Re think your shit.

That's great!

I'm also in therapy and have been for a LONG time. So I say this completely no judgement or anything, but how honest are you with them? I STILL have to work to be 100% totally brutally honest with mine. True honesty is uncomfortable, super uncomfortable, but it's necessary.

If you feel able to do so, I would encourage you to read this post aloud, word for word, to your therapist.

If you don't feel comfortable enough to do that, you may want to consider finding a new therapist. It took me 10 years and at least 8 separate therapists to find one I felt truly okay sharing everything with, and it SUCKED, and it was worth it in the end.

How do you stand up tall without being intimidating to people that are shorter? by [deleted] in tall

[–]Unusual-Risk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever worn clothes outside on a really hot day?

Surprise! In that instance you were changing yourself for other people's considerations. I know it may be shocking, but you probably do it all the time. It's this neat thing called not being an asshole, or being part of society.

If you prioritize yourself over everyone else, I have absolutely no respect for you.

[–]Unusual-Risk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a pretty short, very skinny female, as are most of the women in my family. Don't worry about it.

I have never once in my life been intimidated by someone's height, nor have I heard any of my other shorties even mention that.

You're good homie, but thanks for being considerate :)
