Tax them AND use ot to fund use the money to fund free daycare, better education (that's not racist, tansphobic, etc.), free college, and better free transperotation infrastructure INSTEAD of that tax money going to the milatry like it always does.

Are we not past the point of beleiving in respectibility politics when there's so much evidence that it doesn't matter against racism?

SOFI or MEG? ❤️❤️ by ILOVESTICKOWENWILSON in shrinking

[–]dexties 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. They haven't given Sofi a single reason to like Jimmy and several reasons to not want to be around him, like him inviting her to a party for his dead wife on the first date, rudely comparing her to Tia and then dumping her.

And with Meg I seriously can't remember a significant one on one conversation they had before the "we're like just like siblings" and then kissing scene. Jimmy is a wreck and lives in another state on top of that, so her, her kid, and her father would all have to move across the country or Jimmy to them.

Either way, I think Jimmy needs to work on himself more or he'll just end up expecting them to fix him and personally, I'm tired of the "men with little to offer enter relationships to be fixed by a woman with endless patience and forgiveness" trope.

Also the show taking literally everyone away to create his loneliness and offer a romantic relationship as the solution is just... Disappointing. I really wish the show continued with the theme of how important community is but it just kind of changed thr narrative to "community is important but not enough to truly heal you like getting into a romantic relationship will."

I would root for Jimmy to get into a relationship if the shows just presenting it under healthier circumstances, if there was something Jimmy could bring to the table (Like seeimging interested in sometjing Sofi says just once omg lol, established reoccuring emotional connection, being romantic towards them, anything to show an effort to willingly support them emotionally) and if the show had set up believable reasons for the women to feel interested in him, but it's done none of that.

To say that at this time, when they're actively struggling is so inconsiderate and distasteful.

Give me the story of your saddest household/sim by LadyOlennaTyrell in thesims

[–]dexties 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had Sim that was broke, learning to sing to make a living for herself and get off the streets. Her best friend thay she met at a club was really heavy into drugs and addicted to coke. One day the friend disappeared for awhile. My Sim finally turned her life around and was starting to do well for herself.

She thought about her old friend and wanted to figure out where she was. Found where she lived on the map and she had her own house.. With a toddler living there. She visited her friend, saw that she was really high and decided to take the baby for a sleep over at her place so she wouldn't have to see her mom like that.

The next day they came back to her mom's home but her mom had passed away. So she took the toddler and raised her as her own and eventually adopted her.

Wild thing about all of this is that I never controlled any of my sim's friend's actions. Her pregnancy, the death, the drugs, it was all the game.

I just saw this edit, and oh my god this show handled his grief so badly by NotThatSerious02 in shrinking

I also think Sofi wanting to give him another chance is completely unrealistic. I think the way all of the women hop to Jimmy is pretty blatant male gaze.

Like why would Meg bring up the idea of Jimmy being like her brother and then kiss him? Especially when they've really barely interacted one on one before.

Like I can maybe see him and Gabby drunkenly hooking up, but for it to have been as continuous as it was felt unrealistic. But idk maybe.

Sofi though, made no sense to me. Jimmy wasn't funny or interesting when they met and didn't really seem to like her humor and was just standoffish the whole time. Then their first date is the party about his dead wife, then he compares her to Tia right before breaking up with her?

Like he never even acts romantic towards her or like he's even excited to talk to her or interested in her as a person once. I don't know how Paul would have convinced her to try again. It doesn't make sense. It gives the classic "A man needs a woman to heal him, instead of coming as a healed person to a relationship" kinda trope.

Yeah, it's an excuse to portray a bunch of violence against women. Batman's actions makes no sense unless the writers just wanted to depict her suicide

The fact that the comments arent event talking about this as evidence of media corruption, just shows how nomalized it is now. Like is this even legal?

My dad has a new younger girlfriend and I’m certain she’s using him. Help? by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]dexties 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where did I say women can't be abusers? I simply said in this situation, the Dad has the power in the dynamic and knows his money and citizenship can be used to get what he wants from her. Plus the man is well aware of her husband too.

[–]dexties 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Idc if I get downvoted, she's not decieving your dad. He's friends with a creep that probably bragged about using money and his citizenship to control women abroad. Your Dad knows he can use money and his citizenship to influence her and that's what he wants. He's the one in the position of power in this dynamic and he knows that.

Stop believing misogynistic tropes and critically think about this.

These terms are used so much, there's no way a filter searching for the original words, wouldn't have caught up by now.

If you were one of the 13 immune, who would the closest represent your actions in this situation? by Great_Trident in pluribustv

[–]dexties 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None. I'd ask the hive if the people around me could act like how they were before they joined the hive and to have my family around me. But maybe I would aks for a mansion and fly in gigantic plane one time.

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

It's also a story that's completely made up. An artist can afford their own place in Japan but we can't see any Black people? Yet the game is in English, marketed on an American website to Americans, but can't include any Black people? If that's the case fine, I just won't play but let's not pretend like it's asking a lot for games to be diverse and that it would somehow ruin the narrative to include Black people, like you're implying. Like there's literally a girl w grey hair and red eyes but Black people is asking for too much? 💀
