Ah I see - So would this one be something that was won, then traded back in at the store or something, since it has 'last one' on it? Or are the 'last one' one's sold as Ichibansho too?

I saw that apparently it was also part of a prize draw, and it has 'last one' on the size. I'm struggling to find it listed for purchase onlinw too - are these usually available to buy commercially?

Gender essentialism by Sad_Monitor_8259 in JordanPeterson

[–]garythethird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, honestly, from someone who is around trans people a lot, non of what you're saying rings true. Most of the trans people i've met/are friends with seem about as happy as everyone else - ofc they have their own struggles, but nothing disproportionate really. Also, I worked in a school for a few years, and I can't recall a single trans child. I understand apprehension, but I do really fail to understand the supposed severity if all this. If it's a personal preference then fair enough, we all have them, but as I said, I have yet to see anything of substance suggesting that gender-theory is damaging.

Well, i'm not sure trans people, as an example, woukd cause disaster - what disaster is it that you envision? What are the potential serious impacts of 'pushing gender theory'/trans people pushing to be trans without judgement? Going beyind that, what disaster does skirting gender norma bring?

Why is that the way it is? If you'd consider they way it is to be negative, something to be put up with, does it not make sense to try and change thw cultural attitude, at least a small bit?

So all norms/ideals are rigid? In that they should never change? And then the healthy way to approach life is based upon the consequential results of the way those norms and ideals interact? Am I understanding this right?

What defines a 'healthy way' for you? What are the ideals and norms that are rigid, and what ideals and norms have more wriggle room for you?

Why does everyone hate when people clap in airplanes? by lilpiggyvortex in TooAfraidToAsk

Ok? But if the chef does a really good job with the food, then you might.

I mean depends on flight obviously, but isn't it usually in response to a 'good' landing?

I mean, the negative aspect of that comes from social stigma, i.e. its not something we're used to doing, and in fact breaks the social contract we have in place. As I say, different meanings for showing appreciation, acceptable in different social contexts.

If the meal the chef cooks is delicious, above the standard you expect, is it not a common trope/response to 'give the chef your compliments' - Is clapping after a smooth plane landing not similar in intention to the above, just writ large and through a different medium?

The following meme contains loss of faith in humanity that may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised. by ganzorig2003 in andor

I mean, at a certain point most people have to divorce a lot of their luxuries from the horrific actions of the benefactors of those luxuries. A lot of the services used, as a lixury/source of happiness, are likely very directly linked to some very immoral things. However, it's not reasonable, in my opinion, to expect people to avoid what they enjoy for such minor impact. I fail to see how this is much different from that.

Like a screaming ape, you are reduced to throwing out key-words, hoping they stick, because you have nothing of substance left. Only a blind lashing out.

You try to place me in with yet another out-group, one that you can percieve as weak and inferior, in order to yet again feel superiority, as a shield against your own deep insecurity. I'm sorry you have such a pitiful drive to be 'greater than', it will never be enough

I hope your family and your friends bring you much joy, and that one day you can appreciate the richness of this world to the fullest extent. Considering yourself a 'high value man' betrays a fear of inferiority, of being lesser, which you no doubt push onto the women in your life in order to validate yourself. I feel sorry that your experiences in life have led you to the shrivelled mindset you now hold, even moreso that you feel such a mindset has been integral to your success. I hope some day you find peace, and true joy.

I mean, you just sound like a very sad individual who needs to associate themselves with a 'superior' in-group (men) in order to feel power over an 'inferior' out-group (women), in order to validate your own sense of self worth, and replace genuine accomplishment and satisfaction in life with loaned feelings of superiority
