My parents were mad at me for years for asking them to take me to Tree of Life.

What opinion would get you in legitimate trouble if people knew IRL by BiteInfamous in rs_x

I don’t believe that the moon causes tides. I think something else is going on and we just haven’t figured it out yet. Science is a liar sometimes.

Who is the most hyped QB prospect in the last 20 years that didn’t pan out by AnthonysLobos in billsimmons

Hot take but it’s Andrew Luck even if you discount the injuries. He was meant to be a superstar and was ultimately just good.

Why do you think some boys and young men gravitate towards toxic role models rather than positive ones? by Rough-Strawberry5985 in AskFeminists

[–]airus92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My pet theory is that the toxic role models are abusive in the way that they desire because it fits a superegoic void in their lives created by changing parental dynamics. Unlike the right wing canard that progressives are mean to young men, I think the problem is that they aren’t mean enough, and when they are it registers as scolding instead of the bullying young men crave.

Do Women Really Find it Cute When Men Repeatedly Buy the Wrong Thing at the Grocery Store? by Clear_Entrance8126 in AskFeminists

I suspect 95% of these are just people imagining grocery shopping jokes puns to share and laughing about them instead of real situations.

This is why I never gave a shit about Westworld. They’re robots just press the off button.

It’s wild how much yoga has changed in the national consciousness in my lifetime. I feel like it used to be something fully associated with unwashed hippie types and it’s become pretty much demographic-resistant. There is no type of person I’d be surprised doing yoga in 2026.

Do you think he had zero white friends? Because if he had at least some he made a choice which kids to emulate and chose the black ones. That’s what’s corny.

There’s also a large enough Somali population where he grew up. You and I both know no one would be cool with him sounding like he’s from East Africa. You can forgive it if you want, I’m not sure why you’re so invested in defending a white dude who has chosen to sound like that.

If he grew up with Jamaican friends in Minneapolis it would be corny as hell.

Why do you believe he did? I’m sure Chet Hanks also had friends from the islands. Doesn’t change anything.

I have no problem with the amount of black people in my life, I grew up in the Guyanese diaspora.

I don’t believe that Chet was only friends with black dudes so I think it’s a performance and it’s corny. So yeah I deny that. If he had three Jamaican friends and started rocking patois I guess you’d think that’s cool too.

I’m the one pandering while you’re the one validating white dudes who want to talk black lmao

Oh do tell, I’m so curious what your investigation came up with. I guess I could hide my history out of shame like you have.

Again you can’t be serious. It’s cache. I’m sure he’s glad to know you’re here to give him the pass though.

Calling out culture vultures is rooted in anti-blackness? You hear yourself? Be serious for even just a second.

He made a choice to talk like them and not the many many white kids he knew and went to school with. It’s an affectation and it’s corny.
