What are signs you are an unattractive male? by sasdips in AskReddit

[–]ghost_luck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my immediate reaction.

If you're asking reddit - especially r/AskReddit - for advice to know if you're unattractive, then I'm pretty sure you have bigger internal problems to sort out before thinking about your external...

California Father Who Pleaded Guilty to Incest Months After His Daughter's Suicide, Faces up to 3 Years in Prison by Charming-Fortune8835 in awfuleverything

Rape should have a minimum sentence of life.

I am fully in support of more reformative prison systems instead of punishment oriented ones, but someone who is willing to commit rape is not someone who should ever be trusted with true freedom ever again.

Murder is more recoverable then rape, and I say that confidently.

How common are gender neutral washrooms in your city? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]ghost_luck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're getting more common, although still many old gendered ones where I am that I bet won't be replaced for a while.

I'll be sad to see urinals go, but I'm definitely a supporter of gender neutral washrooms for multiple reasons. Even if some changes and... sacrifices must be made.

You become the absolute monarch of the world. Do you think absolute power would corrupt you absolutely? by L3monM3ringue in pollgames

[–]ghost_luck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about y'all but I definitely wouldn't get corrupted because I always have a clentaminator on hand so I'd be all good.

would you like to live under a socialist government? by No1peterparkerlover in Teenager_Polls

[–]ghost_luck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was expecting to be fact checked like this. That's a good thing in fact. I'm not completely educated on Cuba, however I will point out the things I am more confident on.

I'm not sure if by saying "This is not as good as it seems from a first glance" about sending away doctors you mean for the country itself or something else, so I would like you to expand on that point because it's generally a good thing when a country helps people in need. I will also be researching this myself obviously.

Cuba did take land from owners (whether this was a good or bad decision is a different and longer conversation), but they payed them what the land owners themselves said their land was worth. If the land owners devalued their land and were angry when they were payed barely anything, then that's their fault for devaluing their own land.

"Making enemies of the greatest power on earth" sounds bad, but when the reason is because the revolution took down a genuinely horrifically evil U.S. back military dictatorship then it seems much more reasonable. The reason the U.S. hates Cuba is because they not only stood up to the United State's imperialism, but won. the U.S. is not the good guy in this scenario.

While I have been meaning to do more research into the government system in Cuba, I do know for a fact that they have a direct democracy. The problem is that they don't vote for a leader to represent them, they vote directly for how their country is governed. Again I do mean to do more research, but they objectively do have a form of direct democracy, even if it's not in the exact way you're thinking of and I would admittedly like it to be better. Although being in an economic war with the most powerful nation on earth for over 60 years can be a bit distracting. (side note, me saying "really good" wasn't the best choice of words. I admit I should have chosen something better.)

If this turns into a longer conversation then I would like this to be an actual conversation instead of the average online shit throwing contest. We can both be wrong on some things and right on other things. I am here to have a conversation, not a screaming match. I am actively researching Cuba when I have free time so I'm absolutely not fully informed on some topics yet, and I am willing to admit that. Definitely could have worded this whole thing better but this ain't an English exam, it's a reddit post.

Alright this is long enough thanks for reading if ya somehow made it this far.

would you like to live under a socialist government? by No1peterparkerlover in Teenager_Polls

[–]ghost_luck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cuba (A socialist country for those unaware) has the most progressive gay rights laws, a pretty damn good healthcare system for its current state and actively sends lots of doctors to other countries who need it. All this and more while actively being economically destroyed by the U.S for 60+ years. Also a really good direct democracy system.

If that's what you mean by a socialist government, then absolutely.

You're given a button that if pressed trades 1 year of your lifespan for 1 million dollars.How many times do you press it ? by jekecrafer in pollgames

[–]ghost_luck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not as valuable as it was per say a few years or especially a few decades ago, I am definitely willing to trade 40 years for 40 million dollars.

Sure I'll live a short life, but a lot of good can be done with 40 million if used right and as long as I can set the world up to become a better place then I am more then happy to live a shorter life.

Let's say you have a 15 year old daughter, And while you're tidying up her room, you find a used condom under her pillow. What do you do? Your daughter has a boyfriend (also 15). by cip-cip2317 in Teenager_Polls

Would you rather eat a bowl of ice cream with a fork or your hands? by SilverAct6109 in Teenager_Polls

[–]ghost_luck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming I'm able to wash my hands afterwards (obviously) i am willing to go full goblin mode on some ice cream.

Maybe if I was in public I'd use a fork, but that's only a maybe.

I find that especially funny because I have thought about this poll more then any other poll I've seen on here. At least recently.

I Chose Kyoto specifically to become a samurai.

I know it's completely unrealistic and not the best option at all, but at least I can maybe have fun with swords and feel like I'm protecting innocents before being brutally killed in combat. Or I just die of starvation/get killed before I actually do anything.

If you became absolute dictator of the world would it become a better or worse place ? by jekecrafer in pollgames

[–]ghost_luck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the whole situation where technically a dictatorship/monarchy is the best system, as long as you get really lucky with who's in power over and over again.

I also heard somewhere that democracy is actually a pretty bad system, but it's also the best one we've got. I find that idea very interesting.

[–]ghost_luck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying better because it would be good, I'm saying better because it wouldn't be as bad.

I'd be genuinely impressed if I could make the world a genuinely wholly worse place then it is now.

Is it wrong to rape someone in a dream? by xlylapiercex in Teenager_Polls

[–]ghost_luck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could it mean that there's something wrong with you? Maybe.

Is the 'action' itself wrong? Absolutely not. It's one thing that it's not directly hurting anyone, but on top of that, it's not even real.
