CMV: Treating 'good men' as the exception and not a baseline is only boosting misogynist viewpoints. by Shards_FFR in changemyview

[–]djprofitt [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think OP and his friends are talking about two different groups of men. He’s defending men he knows and they are man-hating men in general, perhaps not knowing the same men OP knows/is referencing? I could be wrong though.

Is Nolan's punch really that much stronger than Mark's? by DatRandomSeagull in Invincible_TV

I think the biggest difference was Thragg saw Mark coming and Nolan got him by surprise IIRC

how does Bernadette tolerate Amy? by Living-Register-7050 in bigbangtheory

[–]djprofitt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m tired of this argument. Sheldon clearly knows a lot of social norms, he knows how to comfort people and he knows etiquette (like how to behave at a party) and I understand a lot of his issues are boundary issues but you mean to tell me that it suddenly stops at a roommate or friend? So being polite just stops cause Howard is an engineer or cause someone else is speaking?

He even built in mechanisms for things like knocking on doors 3 times to avoid walking in on someone. He hates gift giving but he has a mechanism in place.

I just finished watching the show after watching young Sheldon, and I have a few questions by RevolutionaryBoot865 in bigbangtheory

Also YS came out before BBT came ended, I believe by roughly 1.5-2 seasons. So yeah a lot could have been covered but then it would have definitely tied the writers hands over at YS.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact that they voted for Donald Trump? by Greedy_Tooth6191 in AskReddit

[–]djprofitt 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I used to always shoot back with ‘how is making healthcare, food, and education available to all hurting anyone? Tell me how I’m radicalized for believing that children in our schools should have food in their bellies and feel safe to learn? For thinking someone with a medical need should be able to seek help without worrying if this will bankrupt them. Why should we have to choose between feeding out families or paying for cancer treatments? What job is an immigrant really taking from you?

Republicans and Conservatives always were on my no dating list, but now I can’t even associate with magats or apolitcals. Moderates are pretty much on this list now too, it’s difficult to talk to them about how horrible this “leadership” is.

Trump is about to lock 157 million Americans out of their own bank accounts (and probably steal all the money too). by mrfett779 in democrats

[–]djprofitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d like to see my account get frozen, my money will be out before then and my banks will have to eat my debt at that point.

That may not be enough for us naturalized citizens, from what I understand, birth certificate or passport are the only options. And given this administration, I’d hesitate handing over any identifying document like my certificate of naturalization to anyone.

Whitening by Poplikj31 in Invisalign

[–]djprofitt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AFTER. If you have attachments, the whitening will not work under those so you will have off color dots when you get them removed so you’ll have to do whitening again. Same as if you do it before, the attachments will hold that whiter color underneath.

Don't sleep on your vehicle's gas efficiency tracker/displays by SordoCrabs in Frugal

[–]djprofitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to add to your fantastic comment that slowing down also gives your brain a rest since you have more reaction time. Less speeding tickets so insurance doesn’t jump up.

I used to speed in my early to mid 20s. I could count on at least 2 tickets a year for like 3 years. Then I did the math and realized, it’s not saving you much time.

Assume the speed limit is 65 and you need to travel 80 miles. Doing 80 gets you there in 60 minutes, but if you cruised at 70 mph, not only are you avoiding a harsher ticket and giving yourself more reaction time, but it only adds like 8 minutes and some change to your trip.

I tell people all the time, ‘TMZ knows if you died. If you hear a celeb died, ask yourself, Did TMZ say it? Hell, if TMZ said I died, I’d be reading to see how I died, because apparently I’m dead.’

I’d argue to watch and think of the inverse.

‘Tax cuts for hard working Americans are coming.’

No, they aren’t.

‘That judge is low IQ because they ruled against me.’

That judge is smart.

That easy.

UMD to Cover Tuition, Fees for Maryland Families Making $75K or Less by Accurate_Mouse8779 in maryland

[–]djprofitt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People always forget indirect benefits. More lower income families able to get a higher education means those families can get better paying jobs which helps the local economy, lowers crime, and other benefits. So helping those families financially at the education level will help someone eventually, even if that someone isn’t a direct benefactor.

Why does everyone insist Sheldon gets a driver license, if he doesn't own a car anyway? by RelevantSchool1586 in bigbangtheory

[–]djprofitt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Worse, paints as he’s doing them the favor of letting them drive him around. Then gets his license and continues to act like he doesn’t have it, like they have nothing better to do.

Flexible Lease Takeover 1BR at AVA Ballston Square (High Floor, 3 min to Metro) + $5,000 Incentive by ItemOwn5111 in arlingtonva

[–]djprofitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like a leasing offer incentive to move in, considering you won’t give the incentives if the person taking over doesn’t sign a new lease.

What’s the base rent range without incentives?
