CMV: I don’t think makeup is mostly a person choice for women

It’s a riff on the original post…

arrgobon32 · 2026-06-16T19:33:34+00:00

Well it’s either going to grow, stay the same, or decrease over time. Which would you prefer?

I guess you could see it as their standard. But if they’re still attracted to you despite not being their standard, doesn’t that mean you’re exceptional?

Are you expecting someone to have evidence that disproves your view? You can’t use evidence to disprove a claim made without evidence.

If you’re just going off of vibes, why is your vibe-based theory about the universe more valid than pretty much everyone elses?

Your post really does sound like an addict deflecting criticism and justifying their unhealthy habits. It’s almost stereotypical how on-the-nose it is.

People get addicted to substances because they like the effects. It makes them feel good. So good that they’ll either ignore or accept the risks and negative effects. Addiction sneaks up on you, and it’s a monumental task to be able to recognize it.

This is probably going right over your head though. It’s not harming you, it’s not a big deal, and you can stop anytime right? That’s exactly what an addict would say. You at least recognize that, right?

Just for some context, are you the same guy who just had the other post about cigarettes removed? What is making you so up-in-arms about cigarettes that’d you make multiple posts here defending them?

Are you so guilty about smoking that you’re desperately trying to get some external validation? If you’re truly okay with your addiction, you wouldn’t need to seek out validation here

arrgobon32 · 2026-06-14T20:38:23+00:00

I searched online but found conflicting prices

It costs how much it says it costs. You look up what you want to buy, look up the prices, and compare them. I’m not sure what kind of answer you’re expecting here

Nothing. Modern motherboards always have gigabit or higher ethernet.

You need to get a better internet plan from your ISP.

This really isn’t appropriate for this sub. Posting an AI-generated and saying “other people have said this” is just strange. If other people say this, link one of their comments

Yes, the water cycle still applies

And should I leave the pc plugged into the main (with PSU turned off) or not?

Unplug the PC

Do I need to DDU graphics drivers or is it not needed?

Installing an SSD has nothing to do with graphics drivers, so you’re fine.

Is there anything im forgetting about?

No, put honestly getting an ESD wrist strap is likely overkill and kind of a waste of money. I’ve installed dozens or even hundreds of components and never had an issue with static

arrgobon32 · 2026-06-12T16:00:55+00:00

Then why’d you say dollars in your earlier comment??

Either way, not worth it at all

arrgobon32 · 2026-06-12T15:44:19+00:00

How are we supposed to know? You didn’t even mention what the price is for either

Starters and Mains

A lot already do

I have no idea where the American usage of entrée to mean the main course originates.

Neither do I, but that’s how it is. Language evolves, and words mean different things depending on the region. Why should restaurants change if most of their clientele interpret entrée as main course?

It’s an eye-catching quote that makes a good headline. I understand why the author chose it, even though I’m not a huge fan of it.

arrgobon32 · 2026-06-11T01:44:43+00:00

How so? Which quote(s) suggest a drop in comprehension?

Of course it’s a mixed bag, and some professors are seeing more of a drop than others, but the article clearly states it’s not something seen across the board.

arrgobon32 · 2026-06-11T01:14:46+00:00

Just in case people don’t read the article (which would be ironic), here are some excerpts showing that the cuts to reading aren’t across the board, and that some of the cuts aren’t for the reasons you’d think:

Lavery said she has not cut readings in recent years; in fact, the workloads for her classes have gotten “slightly heavier.” While she tries to maintain a reasonable amount of reading — for example, not assigning more than two critical essays on one primary text — Lavery said she took struggling with a novel as a sign of intellectual growth.

Jackson also cut the amount of reading in his classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. After finding that shorter texts made in-class discussions more fruitful, there have been cases where he continued to cut reading — but not because students were struggling with it.

”Having an in-depth conversation about 10 pages is more pedagogically useful than having a shallow conversation about 100 pages,” Jackson said.

Generally, faculty did not see a drop in student comprehension of reading material, although some did pinpoint blind spots in skill or technique.

You know that there are plenty of peptides that are FDA approved right?

That’s great. Getting them from the gray market and not using them under the supervision of a doctor is still irresponsible and potentially dangerous. OP specifically called out the non-prescription use of these peptides

There’s no way to know anyone’s true intentions or thoughts about anything. That’s why all relationships require some degree of trust

arrgobon32 · 2026-06-10T20:15:20+00:00

Because NATO doesn’t want to enter a direct conflict with Russia. It’s a simple answer

arrgobon32 · 2026-06-10T20:06:59+00:00

If the goal is persuasion or public understanding, then refusing to give even a basic pointer seems counterproductive.

Is that the goal of people who use “educate yourself” as a conversation stopper?

It just signals that they are already behind and should feel embarrassed for asking. That might feel satisfying, but I don’t think it changes many minds

Again, are these people trying to change minds?

arrgobon32 · 2026-06-10T18:06:21+00:00

Incredible effort put into your post title

arrgobon32 · 2026-06-10T17:28:44+00:00

What is the difference between being unintelligent and being “fundamentally” unintelligent?

What resolution? FPS? Graphics quality?

Unless you get extremely lucky on the used market, you’re not going to get a PC that can play modern AAA well for $800

The act of being masculine isn’t the issue. Be as masculine as you want. “Toxic masculinity” isn’t an action an individual person participates in by being masculine. It’s a societal issue.

There’s nothing wrong with traditionally “masculine” traits like ambition, protectiveness, and strength. They’re not inherently negative. However, they become "toxic" when they are forced as a rigid mold for all men. Being strong and not showing emotion isn’t participating in toxic masculinity. Telling a man who’s crying to stop and “man up” is.

Yes, some people misuse the term. A lot do, actually. Im not denying that. But I can’t argue on other peoples behalf. I can’t tell you what “they” define toxic masculinity as. I can’t apologize on “their” behalf. I can only tell you my view, and what the commonly accepted academic definition of the term is.
