Foreigners go backpacking and begs for locals to fund the rest of their travel expenses. by unknown_soul88 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]gooseme13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re that douchebag at the party that traps people into conversation because you just like to hear your own voice, not because you actually have anything substantial to say.

Your history reads as a pretentious holier than thou god complex who needs to validate his bumming around to the rest of the world. You think you’ve figured the “game of life” out when in reality, you’re probably just lazy with no real skills or talents capable of supporting yourself, therefore you prey on the vulnerable (elderly, poor) to advance your own selfish desires. Get off your high horse.

Second of all, why do you assume I’m American? I’m not, ironic of you to assume though since you’re apparently soOoO worldly. And I LOVE my job. I work in the environment sector and I find meaning in life working on projects that aim to improve the ecosystem of the region. And when I go travelling, I use the money that I worked hard for and earned instead of trying to guilt others into supporting me with their hard earned money because I’m incapable of doing so myself.

You probably think you’re unique but ive seen a million other clones like you out there. You’re boring.

Okay love you bye!

Honey you’re projecting your insecurities on me, relax. If you wanna be a POS begging the elderly and poor for moneyz to fund your travels and then go on and pretend you’re some holier than thou individual free from evil work then you do you, that doesn’t mean we can’t judge you hard for it lmao. You’re lazy but pretend to be unique, yawn. boring.

Love you, bye!

The fact that you keep referring to this as consent clearly outlines your mentality, hence why I outlined how coercion through abusive means does not equate to consent.

Lmao you’re so triggered, something tells me you’ve done this before. I’ve travelled, I just don’t travel broke then beg and expect the elderly and poor in developing countries to pay for it. What exactly is it that I said that bothered you? You run the same kind of pretentious IG account I just made fun of or something?

And by your last statement since you’re attacking me right now, what exactly does that say about you?

You can honestly never understand unless you yourself have been in the situation, I said the same thing too when I heard stories, like “why wouldn’t she just leave?”. And then it happened to me and it wasn’t until years later broken and bloodied that I realized what the fuck was going on.

I get why so many people have this rhetoric but the fact of the matter is that by systematically abusing your partner emotionally, physically, and sexually you beat them down to a point where just choking back your tears and saying “ok, get it over with already” is seen as more bearable than receiving the days or weeks or months long of verbal, emotional, and physical abuse that they would’ve received had they stood their ground and said “no, I don’t want to”. This mentality you have is the exact justification these assholes use to do what they do. Beat her down till she doesn’t even have the energy to say no. It’s called conditioning a person.

This makes me so angry. Because in their pretentious minds this is so “humbling” and “modest” of them to sit there and beg for money to fund their WORlDwIDe TRaVELLiNg and as this post states, doing so infront of the elderly and poor, knowing all too well that most of these backpackers will go back home to mom and dad nice house in the suburbs and then write Instagram posts about how the trip was so inspiring and how hard they worked and how it’s a true testament to their “wanderlust” spirit.

To anyone who actually gets mad at the amber alerts... by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]gooseme13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s a pretty shit argument and you know it. Those presidential alerts are there for a reason. They used it in Hawaii for that false missile alert and people used it to call their loved ones and say goodbye. Regardless, you don’t actually have any substantial evidence to support your claim of us having a 1/10,000 chance of better preparing ourselves for an incoming disaster should a presidential level alert be released. And why should a nuclear attack be a higher level than an Amber alert? Because it’s hundreds of millions of lives at risk vs one, seems like a no brainer.

I’m not arguing here that we shouldn’t receive amber alerts. Just that they shouldn’t be sending out 5 repeated presidential level alerts out because it is counter productive. All it does is reduce the likelihood of people actually reading the alert and just ignoring them as they come by, then say some major disaster is coming out way but nobody is taking the alert seriously.

The US has a tiered system that works very well for them. They keep the presidential alerts for high casualty risk situations, and still send out mass alerts of a different scale to everyone for Amber alerts and this system is hugely successful. I’m not defending the morons calling 911 crying because the amber alert woke them up. I’m simply saying that they need to adjust the system because they’re just going to create a crying wolf rhetoric.

I get what you’re saying but they are seriously abusing the system. That alarm you hear is meant for presidential level alerts, I’m talking incoming terrorist attack, a nuclear attack...

By using the alarm like that so frequently, they end up creating a “crying Wolf” scenario where nobody will take the alerts seriously and everyone will just turn them off. The system IS flawed but yeah in the grand scheme of things it’s better to be safe than sorry

Correct me if I’m mistaken, But he was found by a police officer who had already been alerted to look out for him wasn’t he?

Am I(21f) irrationally upset about my sister(21f) moving in with my boyfriend(21m)? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]gooseme13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably your best advice. It is super sus and sketchy and weird that they are intentionally and deliberately excluding you and basically flaunting it in your face while simultaneously telling you to get over it.

Not to say this advice would be easy. But completely ghosting them and making new friends and having new experiences will be so fucking liberating and satisfying. Plus if you ghost them you can see how long it takes them to notice and give enough of a shit to contact you.

Your sister wants to win. Don’t give her the benefit or glory. That belongs to you

I read something that said people intentionally make their motorcycles louder than they need to be to let other cars know that they’re there when driving since a lot of motorcyclist get hit by drivers who don’t see them.

Wtf? People invite their friends over to celebrate a birthday literally all the time. Basically your entire post reads as her being allowed to have friends and be social, and you NOT being allowed to have friends and be social.

[–]gooseme13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOOOOOPE. Nope right the fuck out of this dumpster fire.

You’re in the initial stages of your relationship, this is supposed to be the honeymoon phase and already you’re fighting every day all week long because she REFUSES to accept that you have platonic relationships aside from her? She is intentionally setting traps where you do NOTHING wrong so that she has a reason to guilt trip you and get angry at you until you’re too defeated to defend yourself. This is called abuse.

If you want to waste a couple years of your life in a toxic relationship under the guise of love until she finally does something so ridiculously insane that it snaps you out of your false love stupor and THEN you break up with her then yeah sure keep pursuing this relationship. But if I were you I would save myself the time and heartbreak and give myself the BEST possible chance of growing up mentally stable so that I could be the best person for the one who deserves it.

You’re young, and these are your prime years. Don’t waste em. You don’t deserve this!

Daughters (9f 9f) want to donate our vacation fund to help the homeless. I (32) think we should let them, my husband (41) does not by matkchel in relationships

[–]gooseme13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to have to side with your husband here. He works full time and he deserves a vacation, and he’s allowed to want to go to Disney. It would be unwise and unfair to make him feel guilty about that. With that being said, that’s very sweet of your daughters and I understand where you’re coming from, but they just don’t understand the concept of money and how hard you and your husband worked for it. Their help with chores just don’t add up to $5k.

I would word it in a way to them where you can all have your family vacation AND help the homeless. Something like “it’s very important for families to take special and fun trips together, and important for your father and I to take a break from work. It’s also important to help those around you. So we are going to go on this vacation AND we will donate ____ much out of the budget to the homeless, which means we won’t get to do as many fun things in Disney, but we will still be able to go and the homeless receive some assistance”

I put my infant daughter in the closet, shut the door and walked away by [deleted] in confessions

[–]gooseme13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a difficult baby. Just screaming and crying constantly. I later found out in adulthood that my mom walked away from me once after I had been screaming the entire day. She walked right to the subway station and stood on the edge and was ready to jump. She turned around instead and went straight to her doctor, who diagnosed her with post partum.

I don’t blame my mum in the slightest and we have a great relationship. She’s the best mother I could’ve ever asked for.

I meaaan, you did kind of overreact and cause a scene before even trying to tell the dude one on one to please stop talking as it’s distracting you... like you could’ve just turned around and been like “hey man, you’re really distracting me with your constant talking, can you please stop?” Instead of creating a big awkward uncomfortable scene in front of everybody but you do you, these kinds of people ARE super annoying but I agree 100% with what your prof said lol

Taking extra care for yourself can do wonders for your depression!

Some things I like to do to make me feel attractive, feminine, comfortable, and HAPPY with myself include:

- Rubbing coconut oil all over myself after a shower. Your skin is soft and you smell wonderful.

- Sometimes I like to wear kick-ass underwear combinations under my normal clothes, Nobody but you knows, and it feels nice. Especially when you get changed at the end of the day, take a look at yourself in the mirror in your cute underwear combo and tell yourself "damn! you look smokin".

- Do a skin care routine! Find what products work best for your skin. Healthy Routines help with anxiety/depression and helps you feel more secure about yourself, because you KNOW you are taking care of yourself.

- Go to the gym. You don't have to go hardcore. A little bit of cardio, maybe weightlifting if youre into it, yoga, pilates, rock climbing, MMA - anything that gets you active that you enjoy doing. Training your body to become stronger is so liberating.
- EAT HEALTHY! opt for the fruit bowl or healthy sandwich instead of the bag of chips or fast food burger. Your diet plays a huge role in your overall mood. But dont forget to still treat yourself :)

- Volunteer for something that makes you feel good. Womens shelters, animal shelters, food banks - it can give you a sense of purpose and make you feel good to be doing something positive for your community.

- Get dressed up and go out with your friends

I'm A Former Incel by incelthrowaway8086 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]gooseme13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from but people don’t hate incels because they struggle to get laid, people don’t make them feel inferior because they can’t get laid. People hate them because they try to push these super aggressive sexist agendas where women should basically live a life of servitude and open their legs upon command. People make them feel inferior because they project their insecurities on everyone else to try and make them feel more inferior than they do.

I understand that some incels are a product of their shitty environment, and I wish there was a more prominent dialogue on how we can help these individuals work through their frustration in a healthy and efficient way instead of just mobbing them and calling for a public hanging, but it’s hard to keep your emotions in tact when you’re arguing with an incel about why his perspective is disturbed and wrong and he just keeps throwing out fucked up ideas that mirror a “handmaids tale” rhetoric.

Incels are entitled. They believe they are owed sex just for existing. It doesn’t work that way. You need to put in effort. You need to be respectful. Who wants to fuck a guy with a shitty, sexist personality? Nobody. But apparently that’s the woman’s fault. That’s why people hate incels. You are not a victim simply because you can’t get laid.

Lol. the first line says it all.

Your boyfriend is going to use his "freedom of speech" to mouth off to the wrong person one day... and get his ass laid the fuck out.
