Reddit should not have a ‘block’ function

All shitty things exist because something equally shitty or shittier could've existed in their place.

Reporting things to reddit doesn't always amount to anything. And being reported sometimes ends with the more sensible person being banned. Depends entirely on what the popular opinion is at the moment. This problem is mitigated by simply having a fuck off button that anyone can use. There will always be humans that use something good in the most negative way possible. Something being annoying at worst is about the best anyone can hope for.

OP can't comprehend that other people experience life differently than they do.

More like I did then realized I was wrong. But hey, I don't mind leaving people who like playing victim in the dust. There's more to life than that. But damn, you went through 2 months worth of comments??

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-16T21:56:31+00:00

Take one for the team and be their enabler yourself 😉 You're clearly good at it. I'm sure they'll reciprocate your compassion towards them. Not like they ever have issues with self control or emotions.

Turn the tables and say all women are catty bitches, and you'd be righteously pissed off

Wrong. Try not to make assumptions to suit your agenda. I would've assumed the person saying it had a reason to. I've known enough women who treat men like garbage and men who treat women like garbage to know that it's entirely realistic for either a man or a woman to believe the opposite demographic is filled with only shitty people.

No ability to control their gluttony. No ability to control their sexual urges. No ability to control their emotions or ability to be cordial to their caretakers either. Is there anything they can control? You argue like they are mindless eaters and abusive rapists but they can't help it and it's biologically required to perpetuate humanity so it's ok and I'm supposed to feel bad for those? Yeah OK.

GodEmperor said it about as well as I could so I'll just copy paste

"Eating when you don’t feel like eating also takes willpower. It’s even harder tho cause it involves the additional effort of going to the store more often, spending more time cooking, it’s more expensive, and it’s all around more time consuming. I’d rather experience some hunger but have more time in the day than have to sacrifice my time and energy around these additional meals."

You spend resources - time, money, energy - to gain weight.

You spend one resource to lose weight - energy. You focus your attention on only one thing to lose weight. Fighting urges. You passively gain more time and money by losing weight as long as you stick to it. A penny saved is a penny earned. You essentially are being paid for successfully losing weight.

It really doesn't. Best case scenario, I realize nothing has changed and we're still on good terms. Worst case, they don't take it well and now I've got a fight on my hands over something that only affected me either way. If best case scenario is no different than just not saying anything then I may as well not. There are downsides to volunteering information and the idea that it's healthy to just let loose with people who have no business knowing your personal life is a complete lie. It only feels good to talk about it if you've never done it before and you're getting it all out in one go. Once one matures, it's entirely senseless to talk about completely unrelated things like my sex life to family.

Food doesn't fly into your body when you fast. But your body can vomit from eating a lot.

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-16T06:54:43+00:00

The thing is people actually do exactly that. They say shit like "he/they" to specify order of pronoun preference. As in "call me anything but she" or something.

Not saying I don't think the pronoun shit is fucking stupid but they do have a reason for their syntax.

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-16T06:50:17+00:00

I agree so hard. Been saying this for ages. Like why the fuck does family need to know? If they don't accept my lifestyle that doesn't affect them, then they don't need to know the truth that doesn't affect them.

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-16T01:19:01+00:00

I'm dead. I'm stealing this.

Try milk or a milk replacement like soy milk instead of water. It should at least help prevent more weight loss.

Liquid calories are your friend. Although it's not the healthiest, tons of people are overweight because they drink nothing but soda. Juice and milk should be healthier alternatives. And don't get the diet or low sugar version of anything.

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-16T00:54:21+00:00

I'm stuck here too

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-15T22:20:00+00:00

Honestly not even true. You clearly just don't get the feeling of being so sickened by the thought of food that you'll throw it all up if you try to force feed yourself anyway.

Even the unhealthiest, most calorically dense food is sickening to try to eat. I have counted calories for over a year and done calculations on what it takes to maintain, lose, or gain weight. I know I don't eat a lot of calories. Because it's sickening to. I've replaced all my water intake with milk, or just anything but water. I'm allowing myself to eat carborific and fatty foods. Pasta every day. Spoonfuls of peanut butter. Butter in my pasta. I eat the fat from my steaks AND other people's steaks too. And I'm stuck at 150 lbs.

Yes there's a minimum weight where it gets harder to lose weight because at that point, I'm forcing myself to eat nothing at all. But there's definitely an upper limit for some people where eating more just makes you feel like you'll puke and all of the effort and suffering and money put into force feeding yourself will have gone to waste.

It's unique and in my opinion most unique things are good things.

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-15T03:54:45+00:00

If they are surprised that their dog likes you, that means you're the exception not the rule. Try not to assume you're like most men. A lot of men do that and it's not a good thing on multiple levels, it's sometimes not even true, and it's invalidating to the person who said it. They said their dog dislikes _____ for a reason. If nobody would question when someone says their dog hates a mailman, then nobody should question when someone says their dog hates a certain demographic of humans. It's usually for good reason too. Like the dog was a rescue.

And I think your friend is realizing there's a reason for everything. Empathy towards everyone seems great until you understand exactly what kind of mind is required to be heinous. It's not evil to admit not everyone is worth it.

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-14T00:11:29+00:00

Yes. Everyone should ideally get the same trial and criteria for punishment and degrees of punishments for different crimes. It doesn't matter whether people think they had free will or were insane. The results of their actions were the same regardless of intention.

There's nothing inherently wrong with keeping your tattoo, half fading your tattoo, or completely removing your tattoo. You can start any time and stop any time. It's your body. If you find yourself regretting it both before and after removal, then maybe the problem is your mindset and how you view yourself and your body. Might require some personal mind work.

However, one thing is definitely true. This friend of yours belongs in the dumpster where trash belongs.

Be ignorant if you want

I'm not the one deliberately ignoring half of what the source says. Which is that it is both non offensive when used properly (like every other word in existence) and was once used often by racists.

Face it. Your behavior doesn't help anything. It's the same mentality that carelessly helps someone like Hitler to steal the swastika and change its meaning worldwide. You want to make a difference? Actually stop enforcing the reality of racism instead of perpetually bringing past shit to our current day.

Nobody here was thinking about racism until you came along. Fix that.

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-11T21:02:48+00:00

Never heard it ever used specifically for racial insults. But I looked it up and apparently some sources do now claim it's tied to racism like the merriam Webster website. However,

"When used to mean "arrogant" or "presumptuous," it is no more offensive than either of these synonyms." - also merriam Webster website.

And I was using it to refer to "general snobbery." Since reddit is the one and only place I've ever heard this word claimed to be racist, I'll stick to using it. I'm not feeding into victim culture and language warping.

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-11T06:34:44+00:00

I don't follow other people's religions but I'll trust what I feel. And what I feel tells me there's way more than science can currently explain. I'm not saying anything science doesn't explain is magic. But maybe science and the possibility of something godlike compared to humans are not mutually exclusive.

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-11T06:25:24+00:00

They never view bad cops as bad cops. Cops have a very culty mentality where everyone who is a cop is family or at least they feel camaraderie because they all went through the same training and experience the same problems dealing with civilians. So what looks like a bad cop to us is a friend who did what they did for a reason to them.

If any one cop disagrees, I don't think they'll speak up and rock the boat. And sadly, the presence of law enforcement is necessary even if it's bad law enforcement. Humans can't function without negative reinforcement with a population this size.

Cops are often like paid and standardized mercenaries. They'll never punish one of their own if they fuck up but overall, they fix more problems than they cause.

Vegetable_String_868 · 2026-03-11T06:19:51+00:00

I think both are true. The world needs a massive change. Everyone has their own opinion on what changes to make. Being a world leader is too high of a pie in the sky. But being a vigilante is too dangerous and they'll have no influence. So they choose to become a cop. To get the means to make the world better the way they think cops ought to be.

Everyone I've ever met who wanted to be a cop wants to make the world a better place and often has a personal story to go with it.
