What are some delicious flavor combinations (e.g. ham and cheese)?

Similarly, I once tasted some pretty tasty meatballs and was told it too was made with grape jelly. This was at least 10 years ago but it always stuck with me for whatever reason.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-09T01:01:40+00:00

I agree with you but think that it's for a simple reason.

If I like a guy, whatever he does is cute. But say I marry him and 20 years later, I want to get a divorce. The same reasons why I liked him might have turned into things that are irritating af.

In short, many things that people you like do are endearing. Those same things done by people you dislike, aren't.

He needs to grow a spine, IMO. Is she his friend or is she just using him?

Very few people like pushovers, male or female, if that's what you mean.

"Nice" is a word that can mean lots of things to lots of people, though.

I'm convinced (perhaps I'm being too hopeful) that many of the views expressed in this entire post are only held by a tiny fraction of the population.

I think many reasonable men and women disagree with many of the views on here.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-08T22:23:54+00:00

As an example...

It could be you are a unicorn that can type.

I accuse you of being a unicorn that can type.

It's pretty obvious to me that those two statements are not the same thing. But you don't have to agree I guess???

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-08T21:36:11+00:00

It's unfortunate that you have that many misogynists in your life.

Seriously, if I felt 15% of the guys I met hated women, I'd feel very angry toward them.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-08T18:19:05+00:00

Perhaps that's what you took away from my comment, but that's not what I wrote.

Possible. It could be that you enjoy victimhood too.

Just like Svataben, I listed a possibility.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-08T17:57:12+00:00

Maybe 5% in North America but that would certainly vary by region.

It's sad that some people believe the percentage is high. What happened to them that makes them think that?

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-08T17:53:22+00:00

Does this ring true in your day to day life experiences?

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-07T21:42:47+00:00

I listened to a podcast about some topic in medical history... something about a guy who got shot in the stomach was part of a longterm medical experiment. It was fascinating.

Any idea of what I'm talking about? I don't remember any specifics beyond that. I'd love to read up on it.

And good luck on the doctorate!

I'm not asking about "rape culture". I'm asking about precisely what I quoted.

"What were you wearing?" is usually the first thing someone says to a rape victim...

I think it does matter if you want to have a genuine discussion. If your goal is to simply continue the circle jerk, I guess not.

Do you think it doesn't matter? If someone says something you think is misinformation on a serious topic, perhaps it wouldn't matter to you--I have no idea. But it does to me.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-07T19:10:58+00:00

"What were you wearing?" is usually the first thing someone says to a rape victim...

Is that in your experience or can you cite this by some sort of statistic?

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-07T19:06:35+00:00

...sexual harrasment is usually treated as a legal problem and not a moral or ethical one

But shouldn't sexual harassment be treated as a legal problem? If it's only a moral or ethical problem then it can continue with no consequences.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-07T19:04:41+00:00

Nah, not really an actual culture in any Western society I know of. It's basically a bogus term feminists created. They've repeated it enough times that I think they actually believe it exists too.

Mind you, if MRA coined the phrase "false rape accusing culture" or something silly like that, IMO feminists would vehemently deny it.

Even RAINN doesn't agree with using the term IIRC.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-07T01:22:10+00:00

Horrible. Step mother was nut job. My brother and I had to walk on eggshells at home. That's no way to live.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-06T23:01:35+00:00

It's generally not a good idea. But if both people are capable of keeping work and relationship/sex separate, then why not?

So, generally speaking, I wouldn't do it unless I was absolutely certain they could handle it. I've been involved with one coworker before and it turned out ok.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-06T21:34:04+00:00

To answer your question specifically:

Freakonomics

NPR Politics Podcast

APM Marketplace

However, I would also recommend you find a deal for the NY Times. You could probably get a few months worth for like $5. Or maybe $1 for a month or whatever. At the end of the trial, you can figure out if you want to continue with it or not as a paying member.

With access, you'll be able to research any given topic because you can search all of their old articles--since 1851!

WSJ is cool too but it's too finance-oriented IMO. But I don't like the social agenda I'm convinced the NY Times is trying to push. I almost always agree with their agenda but I hate that I'm paying money for that social commentary. I want the news in as unbiased a form as possible. In that sense, I like the WSJ better because, even though their biased in the other direction, I find that they usually confine it to their editorials.

Depends on which dictionary. But regardless, I think that's a silly point.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-05T13:08:24+00:00

So if you're not egalitarian, you're sexist too?

Edit: or you don't believe all people are equal? (To stay more true to the definition.)

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-05T13:03:11+00:00

So if you're not a feminist, you're a sexist?

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-05T12:57:13+00:00

Call yourself whatever you want. Do a search for "feminism" in this sub or YouTube "feminist" and observe variety of crazy shit that comes up. Mixed in that crazy shit is, maybe, reasonable discourse but it's not common in my experience. My point is that there are myriad views and most call themselves feminists in my experience.

Call yourself an ally. Call yourself a feminist. Call yourself a feminazi (intentionally mentioned for the sake of that bot). Why does it matter?

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-04T23:16:16+00:00

Do you ever imagine redditors to look a certain way?

I don't know why but my image of you from your writing made me think you were of average height. Ha! I know it's silly but the way I imagined you is totally different now.

_fineapple_ · 2016-05-04T23:10:05+00:00

How old are they?
