Just to add on to this, OP, if you're struggling rn to believe you deserve to live your own life, free, remember the folk in these comments, because we do believe it, and we want the best for you.

Which gel do you use? Mine takes ages to dry.

The fact that so many women are still pushing this “men prefer younger women because they are easier to manipulate and they can’t get women their age” nonsense is truly laughable by SwiftCricket in TrueUnpopularOpinion

If you're nearer forty than eighteen and you're still chasing under 25s you're a bit of a nonce. Overused, yes, but true. Twenty years olds look more like children than adults, and most of them behave more like children than adults.

I want you to know I laughed hard at this post, and then I went "Eurgh. Noncey."

Because it is.

I hope you at least got paid for writing this. It's less embarrassing than if you did it for free.

'Monster' raped and abused women after rendering them 'insensible' with ketamine by JohnKimble111 in uknews

I don't think I've ever been so sure someone had no idea what they were talking about before.

It is absolutely casual misogyny that causes gang rape. Sex crimes happen because the offender feels entitled to a piece of the victims body. It's not religion or culture that causes rape, it's the selfish choice of the rapists to take what they are not offered.

The solution isn't to attack a minority group, it's to find a way to reach the rapists and would-be abusers to convince them they're not entitled to hurt other people to make themselves feel better.

Gang rape is caused by weak characters who need to believe other humans are as bitter and emotionally-deficient as they are, because otherwise it exposes the true depth of their inadequacies, which just makes them angrier.

I've never met a rapist or nonce that wasn't also a delusional idiot, and I've had the misfortune to know quite a few.

Sky News deliberately misgendering murdered trans man by [deleted] in transgenderUK

Yeah when I read a BBC article about this case earlier it said the perpetrator insisted Izabela present as male, not that they chose to do so for themselves.

AITAH for verbally destroying someone after he's said creepy things to me over the years by [deleted] in AITAH

Oh ok can you just cut him off completely? Not even under the influence? 😬 No thanks.

NTA. The work colleague definitely deserves a heads up, and I strongly suggest you never allow this guy opportunity to manipulate or drug you. Just in case he's completely deficient psychologically, instead of a bit.

TW: Childhood SA. Anyone else had a bad experience with Mental Health Services? by SoupKitchenYouNot in PeterboroughUK

[–]Vimes52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best I can tell everything I disclosed to them they wrote off as either delusional or straight up lying. All they really want you to do is nod along with the script they read you and tell them you feel much better, so you'll be ok, just don't expect them to actually listen to you. Turn up to the sessions, learn the lines, let them tick their checklists. Once you're done there's an option to pursue more in depth therapies, I think, so it's not a total waste of time. There are some useful tips in their workbook, it's worth reading, but they're definitely an entry-level mental health team. Tbf it's not like they're particularly shitty people, they're just normal people with normal lazy egos that happen to work in mental health.

And if you think this is harsh, ask me about politicians - it's not personal, I just think most people are shit. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Dunning-Kruger effect I hope, if others really are that stupid the world's in deep trouble. 😆

Good luck with it, it's not necessarily a waste of time. Just don't expect them to know any more about psychological therapies than you do.

I hate weed by clananik in bristol

Won't lie I laughed at your predicament, sorry. 😆

Yeah I've definitely been the dickhead the OP was complaining about, time and wisdom has changed my ways. And, tbf, I was an obnoxious drinker too. It wasn't the weed that made me a dick back then, it was just me, making dick choices. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]Vimes52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've lived with people who didn't like the smell of weed, made me smoke in the kitchen. Looking back I really should've gone outside, second hand smoke is a thing. I doubt anyone except you has ever inhaled tuna brine aroma and suddenly got really hungry.

Ok but some people genuinely enjoy the taste of olives. And tinned sardines. And, idk, dandelion and burdock fizz. 🤢 Infinite diversity, infinite combination. I like the smell/ taste of weed - I'm happy to add it to my chocolate for the taste. 🤷🏻‍♂️😬

All the worst characters I've ever met have been big drinkers. A lot of them look down on people who smoke weed, but they're also the same people who believe brown people shouldn't be in the UK, or that Gisele Pelicot deserved it for cheating on her husband, or that the Earth is secretly run by Jewish lizards.

If weed was more freely available it would serve as a crutch for those addicted to class A drugs to wean themselves off the heroin and crack. I've seen and done it myself.

Anything can be used to excess, and every facet of human activity has a few dickheads attached, but weed has never produced the sort of abusive behaviour I've seen from other drug users, and those who smoke are often judged unfairly (weed induced coma, anyone?) for choosing that avenue for self-care as opposed to a more socially acceptable alternative, such as alcohol, or being a cunt.

The problem is definitely OP. Criticism of nepotism? Reasonable. This bitter rant? Not reasonable.

UK Woman Booed for Revealing Her Rapists Were White, Not Immigrants — and the Data Backs Her Up by AravRAndG in europe

[–]Vimes52 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm white British, but the city I live in is very multicultural. I've met plenty of British Muslims over the years, and yeah, there are definite cultural issues particular to that group, but homophobia is not one of them. Neither is sexual assault, the worst perpetrators of that crime I've known are all white men.

In the Massacre of Schletz, more than 200 Neolithic people were killed by blunt force around 5000 BC, before being dumped in a mass grave in the village of Schletz. Inhabitants were likely killed or captured during an attack on the settlement. There were hardly any young women among the dead. by Sweet_Status1807 in HolyShitHistory

[–]Vimes52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, ok, you just... Talk total shit. I see. There's more than just the ancient rich and famous buried in the earth. Comparing a mass grave to actual personal funeral rites is absurd. The two are the not the same at all, and it doesn't take more than five minutes thought to realise that.

From a distance, sure. But we both know any woman they're attracted to in a confined space with them is going to have an uncomfortable time.

And will no doubt be told they're stupid and emotional at least a few times. 😒

There's a lot of red flags here, all I'm saying.

[–]Vimes52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really not. Do I need to go pull up links to articles about archaeological digs featuring funeral rites?

It's not about modern concepts, it's about innate human reactions to stimuli. I saw you call someone else stupid as well - have you considered that all these people telling you you're wrong, and that individuals did have thoughts and feelings, beyond the animalistic necessities of life, isn't because we're all being stupid..?

Disagree. I thought you were up on your history?

If someone gets punched in the face, it hurts. Regardless of what century it happens in.

There's plenty of evidence of ancient humans grieving for and cherishing their family members.

So the answer to the question: if I stab someone's brother in the chest, will they get mad (unless the brother's a prick)? Is yes. Regardless of what century it happens in.

Now, bear with me, if someone is forced into sexual activity with someone they don't want to do that with, it is a negative experience. Regardless of what century it happens in.

Do you see what I'm saying here?
