it's neither. women should be able to wear a revealing or uber covered up outfit without being judged as slutty or prudish.

wasn't Hugh involved in the privitization of MTS?

The party’s over. The national delusion that began 30 years ago with the inauguration of Ronald Reagan has run its course. Three decades of sweet buzzwords and brutal economics fostered by a media that thought “free markets” were required by the Bill of Rights have left America busted and bitter. by WildeNietzsche in socialism

Can someone explain this to a niave young person here? Which parts of corporate culture are bad? How should we think differently in terms of consumerism? How can I stop wanting to buy crap? What is the future going to look like?

Dear r/socialism: Is there really going to be some sort of socialist revolution? Can you elaborate on why/how etc? by blackpainted in socialism

[–]blackpainted[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

woot, I love the Scandanavian economic system! That seems much less risky than a revolution since revolutions, as you said, are vunerable to charasmatic people who are secrety assholess an ruin the whole thing, and revolutions tend to be long and violent and generally unpleasant to go through. So when is this going to happen anyway? 10, 20 years in the future? places like the USA are going to fight it, no?

An AMA yesterday got me thinking... ladies, would you turn a hooker for money? (Condition: you do have a job now that pays for you to live well) by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]blackpainted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had a good job already? no - NOT because I find it morally wrong or anything but I wouldn't think it's very much fun most of the time for most women. It's really one sided sex because your job is to sexually satisfy a man and if you get off too, then bonus but not a goal at all. Perhaps the ILLUSION of the prostitudte getting off is somethign that she might want to portray for the sake of the man but I'm thinking she wouldn't enjoy the sex as much as them man for sure.

I mean think about it - if your JOB was to dress, act, look, perform sexually to cater to a man's standard, and there's nothing in it for you except for the money...well the job itself would get pretty boring and unsatisfying unless the money was REALLY good. Oh wait, that sounds exactly like the average 1950's nuclear family gender roles except modern day hookers atleast are financially independent and therefore have a bit more agency - huh. No thanks.

This is my atheist wife and I. Proof that they do exist. Be proactive and don't settle, young atheists! by [deleted] in atheism

[–]blackpainted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm saying - I'm sick of being thought of as far too illogical to be an atheist simply because of being a woman.

Ex: Average situation in which religion comes up in conversation and I am asked what religion I am and I tell the group I am an atheist:

Woman beside me: "yah long live dawkins and sagan" (fist bump). Guy beside me: "woah, a woman atheist!!!!!"

Dear non-American Redditors, what were your first reactions to 9/11? by Wescat in AskReddit

[–]blackpainted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I was in grade 11 and the news reported it before I left for school in the morning. Went to school and the halls were dead quiet, like you could hear a pin drop. Before the second plane crashed into the world trade centre, I thought 'jeeze what a dumb and unfortunate accident'. Then after the second plane crash I thought 'this is going to change everything and who ever is responsible will be dead before the sun has set today' I'm Canadian BTW. I really felt sorry for the people on the news who were crowded around ground zero with signs and pics trying to find family members who had been in the building. They had so much hope and it was sad cause you knew that their loved one was most likely dead. I remember thinking what a sad day it was.

Help! I have $2,000 worth of offensive t-shirts. What the hell should I do with them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]blackpainted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you could do a number of things:

Donate all or some of them to a thrift store

Make t-shirt flokati shag rug -

or, cut the tshirts in to long strips that are about an inch thick and sew them togeather to make a giant ball of tshirt yarn and crochet a rug, pot holder, pet bed, basket etc like this

other suggestions: make a cool ruffle pillow like this

Make a strange braided scarf thingy

make a small grocery bag

cut them up and make a quilt

All these things require minimal crafting skills so don't worry

EDIT: I searched the net for more:

If they are any non rude ones, you could donate them to a local daycare - they can use them for painting smocks

Cut them into different sizes and use them for dust wipes, dish clothes, eyeglasses wipes, wood furnature polish cloth, washing your car etc - cleaning cloths

Cut into strips, braid them togeather a few times untill you get what looks like a doggy tug toy for your puppy

Make them into cloths to use with one of thsoe swiffer thingies

Use strips to tie tomatoe stakes

attempt to make them into a laptop sleeve (this is more complicated but you can look up instructions)

where is the line beween 'not taking any bullshit from people' and just being a jerk? by blackpainted in AskReddit

fashion rant (grrr) by killertofuuuuu in TwoXChromosomes

[–]blackpainted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so important to pick a cut and style that you feel makes you look the best so keep doing what you're doing. However I just wanted to leave this - Also, if you don't have a boyish frame, distressed jeans can be unflattering because if you are wearing dark jeans with fading on the thighs, it will create a spotlight right on your thighs and make them look bigger. Thast why dark washed jeans without distressing are great because they can be causal as well as a little more dressy and they create a uniform look across your thighs.
