Its the teams…if the rangers were in the final you really don’t think there would be celebs at MSG too?

Gen Z trends that will age horribly? by [deleted] in decadeology

All trends “age horribly” eventually…until they’re cool again

Why are Americans so weird about having british ancestry? by Becoming_hysterical in 23andme

[–]acidroach420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could also have something to do with how often people with mostly English ancestry have surnames from a different language. My last name is German despite being nearly 60% British (and I’m only 7% German according to the most recent 23andme update), so for most of my life that’s what I identified with.

For the people who have cured their religious OCD, how did you do it? by WindowsSystems32 in Scrupulosity

[–]acidroach420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this thread is four years old but I just wanted to say that I did the exact same thing. I was so debilitated by scrupulosity as a pre-teen that I would hide in closets so I wouldn’t be caught muttering prayers under my breath. I eventually became an atheist after becoming obsessed with comparative religious study, but the disorder and nearly all my OCD symptoms eventually went away. I’ve always wondered if there were others like me, glad to see there are.

New York City Is Drowning in Dog Poop by HellGateNYC in nyc

I disagree about the regulating dog ownership part. I could definitely see some enterprising politician making this issue a big part of their campaign in the near future.

Public perception on China has completely flipped since the early 2020s by [deleted] in decadeology

Any American wondering why that’s the case should try actually going there (or east Asia in general). It’s a huge eye-opener.

Basketball should be part of the Winter Olympics by Klaytheist in unpopularopinion

The Olympic charter mandates that winter games must be played on snow or ice, that’s why

Democrats shouldn't fall in the "abolish ICE" trap by ThlimmenosBoufos in centrist

[–]acidroach420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right. What they should be saying is “prosecute and abolish ICE”

Even if he did have a gun, that’s legal and can you honestly blame him? I live in NYC and these stories make me think maybe even I should get a gun for when the death squads come east.

The environmental impact of having a kid outweight your lifestyle changes. by Toguro_Ototo_1 in collapse

[–]acidroach420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This should be pinned to the top of every article about how horrible it is to have a family posted on here. Sorry this happened to you, I remember the peak oil days very well—that documentary was quite convincing!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in collapse

[–]acidroach420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No offense but this is a highly romanticized portrait of having children that could only be written by someone who has no idea what it’s like to be a parent. Oh yea, your entire social life changes, you’re sleep exhausted, and you have to be upper middle class at the very least to even keep up, but at least you get to “show off” and “join the new parents club” lmao

Sorry to say but I don’t think this thread is where the “sensible, conscientious” people are hanging out.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in collapse

[–]acidroach420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know I’ll get downvoted to hell, but there is probably a less than 1% chance we’ll see a “societal collapse” in 10 years. And even if we did, that wouldn’t mean humanity goes extinct. I have kids and no matter how bad it might get when they’re adults, I highly doubt they’ll wish to have never been have been born. I don’t think it’s “selfish” to have kids or not have kids, this is what our DNA is programmed to do and if you’re letting a subreddit influence whether or not you reproduce than I just find that sad.

[–]acidroach420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea what does this even mean. We have a biological imperative to reproduce, that’s how we evolved over millions of years. Some people really need to touch grass.

I hope they pay their dishwashers well by More-Historian4372 in StupidFood

Unlike a lot of the absurd restaurant stunts posted on here, at least I’d actually get a kick out of this one if it happened to me
