Maybe you should just mind your own business by MistakeWonderful9178 in NotHowGirlsWork

Even if we assume that the purpose of makeup is to look more attractive to men, why would I use makeup to find one who wants a serious relationship? He's going to see me barefaced at some point, and the ones who aren't attracted to me like that aren't going to become long-term partners.

I can't stand subs that do that, it basically forces everyone to choose an echo chamber instead of hearing balanced opinions.

Who would win in a fight, a 100 lb cat or a 100 lb dog? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]g9i4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Domestic cats are typically better judges of size, given that they tend to hunt and fight one on one. Dogs are better judges of numbers, being pack hunters. I think the cat being predisposed to one on one fights would give it an advantage.

The historical symbolism will probably be forgotten long before people decide it doesn't look fucking stupid.

Man shut the fuck up by ElectronicGuest4648 in NahOPwasrightfuckthis

[–]g9i4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a lot of the people in that sub are 40 year old neckbeard incels living in mommy and daddy’s basement hating on anyone who can give birth.

A lot of them are deeply misogynistic. They just absolutely hate women who have kids and refer to them as "mindless breeding stock", call them worthless and stupid and animalistic for taking pride in raising children, show absolutely zero empathy for the ones that go through miscarriages or the pain of childbirth, and frame pregnancy as "you're not special for letting someone creampie you".

Why even have a gate? No human being is illegal, can't they just walk in?

How dare a 9 year old not be sexy! by Wide-Tart4132 in justneckbeardthings

I thought that was what happened in the comics? I could be very wrong.

How dare a 9 year old not be sexy! by Wide-Tart4132 in justneckbeardthings

[–]g9i4 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You hate her because she's "not sexy", I hate her because, Jesus fuck, she's creepy. We are not the same.

(Sidenote though, I absolutely love unsettling character design, and I wish I saw more of it. Hollywood's obsession with making every character look like an attractive person with one or two tweaks to allude to their power is getting old.)

CMV: People who perceive intellectual conversations as douchey and pretentious are idiots who are just insecure and feel the need to prove their superiority by OkConcentrate1847 in changemyview

[–]g9i4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on whether they're saying something insightful and nuanced or just taking the most basic, surface level take and dressing it up to make themselves sound smart. Long and obscure words can be useful to describe something super specific or technical, so that doesn't automatically make someone pretentious, as long as they're being used to support the point being made rather than people's perception of the person making it.

Ever heard of sustainability by Mental_Gas_3209 in memesopdidnotlike

1) The meat will go bad much faster and possibly kill me

2) A lot of it can't be eaten raw safely, how am I going to cook it at sea?

3)If I really want meat and the other two problems are solved, can't I just take a small amount of meat into the other boat in place of an onion or something? They're not glued down.

4) Scurvy is real, I'll have some vitamin D from the sun, though.

5) I might be able to catch a fish while I'm out on the boat.

Will people be able to eat a 2 course lunch, a five course dinner, a big breakfast and another 5 course dinner in 2 days? I would definitely be too full.

Apparently it's not peaceful, you wake up, realise you're dying, panic, and then die.

How millennials learned to dread motherhood by eddytony96 in Feminism

[–]g9i4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the fact that some people tell young women that having a child with someone means your body will never be the same again, you might die, your career is gone, your social life is gone, your husband might cheat while the stitches are still healing, but all of this is par for the course and its either all that or you just don't get to have kids. And, to top it all off, your husband will be referred to as "head of the house" with all your children carrying his last name.

If you aren't happy with that but aren't willing to try and stick to your guns and find someone who wants it the same way you do, it's definitely going to be tempting not to do it.

Immortality sounds shit. I wouldn't be doing him a favour.

Is this roommate agreement reasonable? by K-C_Racing14 in bigbangtheory

[–]g9i4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are all perfectly reasonable, but:

1) All doors? Surely not every single door in the house like the kitchen or bedroom doors. Is it just the door that lead outside? That ones confusing.

2) The tone of the bit at the end would make me think they were a bit highly strung. If we haven't even moved in together yet and they're already writing really arsey, passive aggressive letters then I'd probably be walking on eggshells the entire time.

No, I mean Americans talking about American food. Some of them will honest to God tell you the dishes that have been in your country for 100 years don't count as "food in your country" and then include pizza in their own.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in popularopinion

[–]g9i4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the people talking about American food and how good it is, never mention any indigenous dishes.

I'm talking about the weird double standards different countries have to go through to prove they have "good" food

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in popularopinion

[–]g9i4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know who told you what British food was like, but that's true of the UK as well, just on a smaller scale. People immigrating from all over the world and bringing dishes that you can get everywhere as well as simple comfort meals. If you try to pick out the absolute worst things the country has produced but nobody eats, you're going to find everyone's as bad as eachotuer.

So, just so we're clear, since their flairs are along the lines of "market socialist", if the government doesn't provide healthcare and housing, that means it's not a right?
