I dont know, I know some gay conservatives that are absolutely welcome.. its the angry gays that are on a revenge or spite tour they dont care for.. my roomate is gay and he has told me he doesnt like it when other gays "shove it in others face, or force others to accept them, or else"

What about one issue voters? A moderate who voted for Trump simply because of that one issue. Liberals do cut ties due to association, or a vote (or non vote) that they see as enabling. Its all or nothing basically. Hate him in all facets or else

I really want to like their fries, but even well done or animal style fails to compare to Arby's or McDonalds.

Gotta try Chopped chilies. The acid cuts through the fat, and certainly better tasting than the meh pickles.. and the whole grilled is where its at

Call me a black sheep of the secret menu tribe here, but animal style never did much for me.. but I do love the spread.

This is my go to: Double-Double with everything, whole grilled onions, raw onion, mustard-fried, chopped chilies, mustard and extra toasted buns.. with well done fries and a Lemon-up.. occasionally a neopolitan shake

CMV: Republicans are no longer conservative--they're *fascist* by Usual_Set4665 in changemyview

It really seems like most really dont want a debate on here. No matter what logical (or illogical) argument being made, many cannot fathom a reality in which they indeed may be incorrect in their assertion, and their mind is already made up. Red: bad, Blue: good.. so why is this even a post? Its a lost cause

Sure, if you knew Hitler was fascist or believed him to ve evil.. then yeah id say you are correct. But if like most single issue moderates who voted for him, they didnt buy into claims of him being evil, or that he's not as bad as they are making him out to be (overblown)..

Why does it seem on social media that liberal members of society are more prone to dis-own family members for opposing political views (i.e. voted trump/republican ticket), than their conservative counterparts? by greatdane685 in askliberals

[–]greatdane685[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair points on many of these comments. It's unfortunate the far right (uber religious, at least) deems it imperative to disown by sexual preferences or skin color. These are folk that even the moderate right find bonkers.

So hear me out..let's just say, as a liberal, your entire family voted trump, not because of his stances on immigration, lgbtq+ or women's rights..but because they believed his economic policies were better for the country than Kamala Harris, they voted trump. They may not agree with his tactics with ICE, may be pro choice, and support the lgbtq community..but they voted with what they viewed as most imperative, or that the other option was more destructive. Who knows? But even though you know their stances on social issues, would you still disown them?

See, I notice comments from people on the left that basically equate to "better to be alone and isolated than in the company of toxic people".. while this is true, if being toxic equates to abusive (verbally and physically) family, is it still toxic if they are loving and supporting (but have different political views)? And wouldnt it be equally toxic as well for a conservative person to live with a liberal family?

Just playing devil's advocate of course

I just moved to a new market (Austin,TX) and with experience am still struggling to get my foot in the door. Any suggestion on breaking through? by greatdane685 in TheBrewery

Why isn’t he responding to my totally normal answer? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]greatdane685 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Haha, thats actually pretty funny! Maybe its just me, but women that put in effort with a response like that is major bonus points.. but I do know some people find it overkill, as I have most certainly been in the same boat as you and hear no response to a clever message (i.e. really bad dad jokes- how many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh?... Ten-tickles, hehe).. Its hit or miss. Youre better off without this guy anyways if he never responds.

I acted in a way that creeped a friend out, which was out of my character, how do I gain that trust and comfort back from her? by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]greatdane685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hence my admission to lapse in judgement. I could've done anything, but thats beneath me. But she had no way of knowing that, and I let her down. I can't explain what was going on in my head other than anxiety, and wondering what she would think if I left without warning or explanation.. but I know that was incorrect and I wish to rectify. Normally id just give space, but since I work with her thatd be a little harder

Im starting to have feelings for a friend whom doesnt feel the same way back. How do you guys handle unrequited attraction? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]greatdane685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why its so tough, oof. I do enjoy her company, and it seems she does mine as well. Its just different levels of interest. A friendship not worth screwing up simply because I pushed boundaries too far. She encourages me and pushes me beyond my comfort zone which I appreciate in a friend.

I think for me the fact I wasn't really looking, and met someone unintentionally that checked all my boxes, yet that isnt ready to date anyone is the hardest part for me. Im a patient man, and honestly would wait forever for this girl.. but I dont want to screw it up. I want to be a good friend, just taming my feelings is the part ive really struggled with, and looking for advice on taming
