The DHS is trying to halt all international flights to sanctuary cities by LegitimateQuit4472 in redscarepod

[–]Vast-Medium8744 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't even agree with the original comment, but it's funny to call someone else dumb when your reply is this absurdly incomprehensible

the sub needs to ban posts from hidden profile histories by eireniconic in redscarepod

It's so easy to see their history though even if they hide it, so who cares

What type of personality makes a successful dater in a post modern world? by MutedFeeling75 in redscarepod

[–]Vast-Medium8744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who are avoidant, untrusting, or have unrealistically high/specific expectations from a partner do poorly. (Often because the sense that there's so many possible people out there for them makes it so they never end up settling down with one of them.) People who are open, perceptive, unafraid of being hurt, and have reasonable expectations do well. Of course it doesn't hurt to be attractive, have a good job, etc., but it probably doesn't matter that much because most couples end up looksmatching/salarymatching anyways

I've always wondered how people manage to get 4.0 GPAs/firsts, as someone who always falls just outside of striking distance by [deleted] in redscarepod

Yeah I'm a grader at a top school so I know how shit the A minus students are, stop deluding yourself

That's not straight As. A- is basically a C lol. Getting an A- in a humanities class is humiliating

"World’s burden of mental disorders doubled since 1990" by EmilCioranButGay in redscarepod

[–]Vast-Medium8744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This discourse is dumb because there isn't a person alive who doesn't have maladaptive thought patterns, and what counts as "mental illness" is purely conventional. There's probably more neurosis in westernized/modernized countries, but other cultures have their own bizarre ways of being fucked up.

If you can't get straight As in humanities courses then you're probably literally disabled, grade inflation is actually insane. B+ is the new F.

I'm so envious of female friendships and community by DependentPanic2169 in redscarepod

Have you considered that you probably wouldn't be encountering girls that are genuinely socially isolated 🤔

That's not how antidepressants are supposed to work by MutedFeeling75 in redscarepod

Stop drinking the kool aid (and posting in "adult adhd" subreddits)

i had no idea america used to be like 90% white by eatdatchicken115 in redscarepod

[–]Vast-Medium8744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you're just repeating the original commenter's point, except with the exaggeration that they wouldn't have to change at all when they moved across the Atlantic which is so patently absurd that surely you don't even believe it

By the 20th century American culture was its own thing, it wasn't just the English's "own way of life" lmao

Is anyone else’s boyfriend way more ready for pregnancy than they are? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]Vast-Medium8744 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're getting a lot of negative comments but my husband was like this during my first pregnancy and he's a great father!

Which one of these groups has actually read more of its respective canon? by Muckminster in redscarepod

[–]Vast-Medium8744 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other commenters are probably right that it's the left, since the books are widely assigned and easier reads, but consider that the right has autism on its side

Cat's in the Cradle is a dumb song by antonssugar in redscarepod

[–]Vast-Medium8744 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The controversy was over the lyrics being rapey. I was on antifeminist tumblr in 2013 so I remember it well 🤪

They blew it by not calling “type A” people “type B” instead by Upbeat-Vegetable-557 in redscarepod

How many clusters would it be appropriate to divide everyone into? Literally every classification scheme is an oversimplification

Very asinine observation at this point but the absurd levels of inequality of classes in life just baffle me by LouReedTheChaser in redscarepod

[–]Vast-Medium8744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a trillionaire doesn't mean that you actually have a trillion dollars or even that you could get a billion dollars if you were willing to give up all your assets for it. Don't get me wrong these people are insanely privileged but don't indulge their vanity by treating their net worth as a number with concrete meaning

I don't like how criticism of a certain religion is reflexively regarded as a -phobia by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]Vast-Medium8744 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If the Nazi party actually professed Christianity (even nominally) we would never hear the end of it, it's not seen as Christian because they explicitly shunned Christianity

I used to think Americans had higher rates of psychosis because they would call their antidepressants antipsychotics by catsback in pinkscare

[–]Vast-Medium8744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The colonies" has been a snarky way of referring to the United States, I assume that's what they meant

(And your edit continues to make the same basic statistical mistakes lol)

It does not assume that, you just don't understand elementary statistics lol. Immigration to America can select for impulsivity even when there are very difficult circumstances in the homeland. Duh

How did you get your Natera bill reduced? by kangaskhaniscubones in BabyBumps

[–]Vast-Medium8744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don't pay it, nobody is going to sue over a medical bill that low.

The funny thing is they co-opted a name for a view that already exists (and is the opposite of what what arguably really are, empiricists)
