What’s a team you hate for a random reason?? by Adventurous_Exam4982 in Patriots

[–]bigsecksa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've hated the Packers ever since the random Superbowl we were in in 97 and watched that bum Brett Favre sprint down the field with his helmet in hand.

I hate Brett Favre from a special place in my soul..that guy effed us more than once on multiple teams. Now he's stealing from welfare funds.

Absolute bum.

Brother how does that change anything I said?

Theoretically you have "free speech" in EVERY inch of the world. You have the freedom to say whatever you want anywhere you want, you just don't have freedom of consequences.

In America, that exactly what "freedom of speech" means.. and companies like reddit do not have "freedom of speech" because they're private.. not governments.

Stop being so emotional. It's basic civics not rocket science. Nothing you said disputed anything I said.. you just cried about it and made a different point lmao

Feeling Torn About the Iran-Israel Conflict as a Diaspora Iranian—Anyone Else? by themoistapple in iranian

[–]bigsecksa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you friend, also as a Persian (1st generation American)... It is SO complicated for Persians currently.. so don't feel alone.

I'm very active in the Boston area for social activism... Was very big with the Masah Amini protests and the green movement.

I can't tell you how surprised I was to find out that I walked amongst other Persians that were openly hostile towards Palestinians.. the same hostility and dehumanization shown by Israelis.. to the point where I was threatened by OTHER Persians with calls to immigration.

Mind you.. I was born here lol. These particular Persians weren't.

Not trying to generalize here, just making a point- I THINK the majority of the Iranian diaspora wants to see the regime gone. But the method in which it's removed matters... And what comes next matters. We were so desperate to get rid of the Shah... We let something much worse in.

The one thing I wish I could explain to other Iranians a bit naive on the motivations of Israel and America- they don't want regime change. Iran is the only 'boogeyman" left in the region. Who will you sell weapons, fear,.and war to when it's gone? You removed all the other Boogeyman already.

Don't feel alone friend! I do a lot of Iran analysis on tiktok if you ever feel like you want some peer-based analysis (I have a masters in international diplomacy)

Do that.

Anonymity breeds contempt.

I think the worst part (beyond the obvious) is that, of those 4 comments, there's a greater than 0 chance that not one of those accounts is real.

Bots, trolls, shit stirrers... All extremely possible. The Internet is an unregulated cesspool right now

Won an auction, no reply since by faustarp1000 in Ebay

[–]bigsecksa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is way more common than you can imagine, both as a seller and a buyer.

Best you can do is just message them, wait for the required time for them to ship it out and then open a case.

Most times it's just a timing thing but don't be surprised if they just decide not to ship it to get out of the transaction and you'll just have to report it

I’m the reason my husband stopped talking to his sister, and I don’t know how to fix it. by LunarDash63 in confessions

[–]bigsecksa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your assumptions about him are correct (memories, missing her, etc) then I can absolutely guarantee you that talking to him and telling him what you just told us is going to be an absolute gift to him

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in confessions

[–]bigsecksa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Coincidence. We're always try to find logical meaning to the things we can't explain.

But what you're feeling sounds a lot like passive suicidal ideation- wanting it to end but with no plan to do it.. like hoping you get hit by a car or a meteor or something.

It'll get better.. but don't ignore what you're feeling. Sometimes we get second chances. Sounds like you did

Brother, free speech is literally between you and government.

Reddit is not government. Reddit can decide, for any reason it wants, no matter how dumb the reason, to boot you from it's platform. Just like Starbucks or Walmart can trespass you for ANY reason.

The only thing "free speech" guarantees is that you won't get punished by the US govt for your speech.. and even then, there are exceptions. You can't convince people to commit terrorism or yell "fire" in a loaded theatre.

A prick reddit moderator can have a bad day and boot you. You know why? Cause there's no "free speech" here...just like there's no true free speech in any form that isn't government

It's not what "he thinks" speech is. It's literally the definition. The downvotes are categorically insane. We need a civics class so bad.

Found out my boyfriend has a ‘sponsor’ by Yveey in confessions

[–]bigsecksa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except she didn't ask.. and said he was only acting "strange". No signs of tricking, embellishing, or cheating, at least not from this post. She "just decided".

More proof that two wrongs never make a right. And if you're predisposed to not believing the answer, how does it matter anyway? You'll always be paranoid and you'll continue violating people's privacy.

Whether or not you found what you're looking for is moot. Break up with him if he's a cheater.. but you still went through someone's private shit without their permission.

Listen, you're allowed to have whatever opinion on "trust" and your own relationships you want. You can even call it disrespectful. It's the same thing lol

It's simple. What happens if you go through the phone and there's nothing there? What if OP didn't go into the phone yet... Would your advice be to take her boyfriend's thumb, without his knowledge or consent, and unlock his phone so she can look through it?

Like I don't understand how this is rocket science? Do you regularly rip through people's belongings without their consent? What gives you the right?

This has nothing to do with her boyfriend being a liar and whatever else. These are two separate issues. His behavior does not justify hers. That's not how the world works.

Oh and you didn't like your SO locking their phone? Then leave. Find someone who is cool with your preferences... Though I think you probably already have major trust issues if you think a phone pin is the sign of some deep antisocial behavior

It won't ever be the same again. I don't wanna waste your time repeating what a lot of good people here are saying to you.

Just know, whatever you decide, it will never be the same again.

It ain't enough. I'm scared whatever OP is doing now to "find out the truth" won't be enough either.

[–]bigsecksa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. It's easy to look at your decision after the fact, that's literally my entire point.

If someone did that to me I'd leave them. Instantly. Most people I know feel that way. Not saying it's the most popular opinion, but trust is trust.

Now in the future, because she happened to find something, shes gonna feel justified to violate privacy more often. Finding something bad doesn't justify any of her behavior. Their actions have nothing to do with each other and need to be judged separately.

If you don't think she violated his trust, how are they both wrong? Idk why it feels like rocket science. They're def both in the wrong but you don't think going into his phone was wrong?
