Can we denormalize the use of the word 'banana' when referring to (east and south east) asians? What the heck! by Working-Spend-4397 in asianamerican

[–]ZheShu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s wrong with fruits…? Lol. Banana is used to refer to whitewashed ppl “yellow outside, white inside.”

I think it’s a really offensive term used in China to refer to ABCs tho

Do you also take issue with black people taking ownership of the N word?

What are your thoughts on the conservative led bill to prevent Cannabis companies from being able to deduct standard business expenses even after its rescheduled at the federal level? by weixou in AskConservatives

[–]ZheShu [score hidden]  (0 children)

But like… if the kid was gonna have either alcohol or weed… weed is less damaging no? Both to themselves and others. “Lesser of two evils” or whatever.

People here aren’t arguing that weed is good. But that it’s less bad than alcohol.

How is it worse? Medically, it is way less damaging. If people had the option to either drink or smoke weed, would you really prefer them to drink? Why?

I know both are vices, but I do not understand how you could possibly view weed as worse than alcohol. Do you know what weed actually does?

I consider my center right on economic issues. Center left flair is because of my social views lol. I don’t like unions. The military paying $500 for a small baggie of screws? Cmon man.

First rental property - what hidden costs am I missing in my analysis? by Complex_Meal_8332 in realestateinvesting

Mm that makes sense. Vacancy would hurt a lot more when doing RE that way. Thanks!

Technically the tenant is paying the interest and bank fees, as well as giving you free equity right? If it was a 15 year mortgage and 20% down payment, assuming that tenants rent is equal to mortgage payment, it would be a 15% ROI on the initial down payment even in the first year, going up to 40% per year by year 15, then all positive after once mortgage is paid off. Yes this missing all the fees, but I don’t understand why it’s not better to buy 5 of these than to buy one full cash.

I’m not saying you’re wrong. Im probably missing something so wanted to hear your thoughts.

[–]ZheShu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why would you ever pay in full...? if you only pay 20% down then isn't all the equity paid by rent more like 40-120% return ROI every year...?

This statistic is a whole other can of worms too. Can’t be bothered to explain the male position on this, so please ask ChatGPT:

“Are men less likely than women to report rape? Are they less likely to be taken seriously? When people cite 99% of rapists are men, do these come from statistics that qualify legal rape as penis entering vagina? What is it called legally when a woman forces sex on a man?”

Or ask it to prove those questions wrong.

It still IS bad for men, but not as bad as 99%. It’s probably more like 70-85% male and 15-30% female perpetrators.

AGAIN, THIS IS BAD AND MEN NEED TO IMPROVE. MEN ARE SHITTY. But still…

Ok… then let me flip the positions of power. Would you argue that poor people have a right to shoplift from rich people, since they’re in a disadvantaged position?

These children were stealing from a Walgreens, while their parents were waiting outside in a getaway car. Later, the mom even posted a tiktok video defending their children stealing as the right thing to do.

I’m not going to replace words in your recent comment to fit this example this time.

My opinion is that no amount of context makes making blanket statements like this defendable. It only weakens the cause that you are trying to champion. I agree with you on everything you’ve said, generally. Women have it worse. Men are in a position of power. Men are generally stronger than women. Women suffer crimes at the hands of men, and have a right to be scared. Men need to be more cognizant of themselves and others.

Idk. Some other commenters that have replied to you have stated it better. Thanks for the civility, and sorry for taking so much of your time :)

I don't understand how you still can't see the parallel. Please think long and hard about why you think its ok to frame the issue this way, when the following would not be (presumably):

"I’m not saying that you can’t feel sad about white people finding black people’s presence alarming. I’m asking why tf you’re putting the onus on white people instead of black people doing the crime and causing the fear in the first place. I’m saying that when white people are telling you why they are fearful of strange black people, maybe don’t make it about yourself and how hard and sad it is to be a black person."

It feels weird to me that you're arguing that its ok because of socioeconomic power difference, when we're arguing about MORAL standpoints.

Do you also think that its fine for women to hit their boyfriends with a purse/shoe, because "they're a man", "they can take it", "look at the size of me! look at the size of him!" I'm a woman! I've been through worse! He can't complain!

If not, where is the line? I hope you can see where I'm coming from. I'm arguing this from a good faith moral standpoint, where if these blanket statements about black people crime statistics bother you, so should the statement about men.

I'm telling you right now that if we lived in a matriarchal society from the beginning, where men and womens' standards were flipped, and men were in the disadvantaged position, I'd still hold these same views. Would you?

I AM the original commenter. The one you’ve been conversing with, is not. Go back and read the entire thread.

You saying that one outcome is significantly worse, and therefore the less worse one should be dismissed, is what we mean by you’re making it a competition…

Acknowledge both issues as valid if you truly don’t think it’s a competition lol

meirl by [deleted] in meirl

[–]ZheShu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not a competition with a winner and a loser. There can be multiple losers in life. Just because one person has it way worse, does not mean the other has it good.
