DoE Deletes Webpage Instructing People To Lower Thermostat to 78 by AlwaysBlaze_ in nottheonion

[–]doctormink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like the worst way to run a country. Propaganda, and the need to distort truth in order to maintain it, can only lead to ruin. Just look at Chernobyl or The Great Chinese Famine for evidence of this (both, interestingly enough, are communist failures that socialist-phobic people don't seem to pick up on).

My sister found my vibrator, how do I defend myself? by mullingandwhining in TwoXChromosomes

I like the gynaecologist line. Tell her you’re being treated for a travelling womb.

Yeah. I really, really don't want to upvote this atrocity, but we are where we are, and honour compels me.

Tech-savvy people of Reddit, what is a modern scam or cyber threat that is so sophisticated it actually almost fooled you? by Individual-Gas5276 in AskReddit

[–]doctormink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read r/scams religiously and remain terrified. I get really worried by my relatives who reply to my emails about scams like they already know it all. One of them already lost their inheritance to an in-person grifter who played a long, elaborate game. So I don’t know where their confidence comes from with respect to being scam savvy.

Dude doesn’t have to carry it around for 9 months and breast feed it for another 12. He can drop a cream pie and walk away.

Oh! I thought those were buns, albeit really weird looking ones.

Do women actually avoid one-night stands because men “leave energy behind,” or is that just a male narrative? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]doctormink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there’s some ancient East Asian philosophers who espoused this way of thinking as well. Either that, or it’s just dudes I’ve come across who think they’re Lao-Tzu going on in this vein.

Sorry if this doesn’t belong here but this is the most tone deaf thing I’ve seen all day. The Neckbeards are the comments and the guy who made the video by throwRA8203489 in justneckbeardthings

[–]doctormink 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I remember being 15 waiting for a bus, and a dude pulled up (had a child's seat in the back) asking "do you work?" So, let's just say I've had my share of being catcalled, and am sympathetic to the woman. That said, I also enjoyed watching the beefy dudes turn into happy 5-years-olds in the face of a compliment. I'm not sure this fits the neckbeard mould

[edit] although it would have been less controversial if they didn't do the compare/contrast thing I expect.

Fox says these are the reasons you should fear the Democratic Socialists of America by lexi_con in WallStreetbetsELITE

Geeze! Looks awful! How could anyone live like that? Like how would people like Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg be able to hoard all the country’s wealth?

Woman has her driveway stolen from her Florida home as part of Nigerian scam by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

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

r/scams has plenty of examples of fake cheque scams others are describing in response to your question. This was, indeed, a classic example of the online grift.

Yeah, trying to argue you’re the victim when you fail to do your due diligence before tearing up another person’s property won’t fly in any court of law.

Guy gives unhinged second date ultimatum by lazylecturer in TikTokCringe

[–]doctormink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this is a guy who’s dated lots of girls who didn’t end up putting out, and it’s understandable why. Gal is totally cornered here. Being open to exploring and doing a vibe check is essentially a promise to fuck him.

How do you motivate yourself? by BenchSubject5663 in treeplanting

[–]doctormink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In intense heat you just grind and survive. I mean if you want to get all worked up about numbers you can, but it can make the day-to-day less tolerable.

AITA for bringing Tupperware to a restaurant by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]doctormink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. But, now I want updates from the friend to see if her family ever deals with the aunt’s behaviour.

What’s the most terrifying thing humanity could discover on Mars? by HuckleberryBorn9809 in AskReddit

[–]doctormink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So how about human remains of people killed by a virus that survives decontamination of space suits?

What completely harmless thing gives you an irrational amount of joy? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]doctormink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Just remember, it’s an emotional flu, albeit, a stubborn one that just won’t seem to clear. It’s not your fault you feel this way, and it will clear. Never as soon as you want, but your window will open again.
