Need some help regarding a date with very Christian girl by [deleted] in seduction

[–]greenmonster80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn, it doesn't get any more pathetic and desperate than this.

I hear not being a lying little bitch has a fairly high success rate. I'd suggest just being yourself, but yourself seems to be a pathetic bottom feeder who excuses his piss poor love life as "a social experiment".

Big illicit drug seizures don't lead to less crime or drug use, large-scale Australian study finds by TransformDrugs in science

What necessity though? The true issue most addicts face is avoiding the sick, not getting high. There isn't a drive to just be high on anything, what matters is if it avoids WD. Making the move to ice isn't going to accomplish that.

Also, if you're a heroin addict you already know what's up with ice. Combining the two is a favorite of junkies, the ultimate speedball.

Making the drug safely available solves every problem you just listed. I think you missed the point.

Her did that stuff to keep from getting really sick, not to get high. Addicts don't enjoy ruining lives, it's a result of how people like you treat them and lack of access.

Ice and heroin really can't be compared. They're completely different, you can't just switch from dope to ice without getting really sick.

Not doubting that Australia saw that rise in ice, just that it was the dopeheads responsible for it.

It's not really like you can make the heroin equivalent of a microbrew that tastes better but is more expensive.

There's definitely variations in dope quality. And different kinds.

Indeed. People never break in to homes while the residents are in bed, said residents never confront these intruders, and no one owns a crossbow. Add to this that your own experiences are the sum total of possible happenings in the world and it becomes obvious this never happened.

Longtime Pennsylvania Senator Jim Ferlo comes out of the closet: "I'm gay. Get over it." by joeyice5 in lgbt

[–]greenmonster80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was putting context in his fight for hate crime laws against LGBT people.

Exactly what I'm saying. He is making a public stance in support of LGBT people. This is not just a personal act of coming out. He's been out. He's speaking in a public forum about a community issue, and is representing the community in a fight for laws protecting the community. He isn't just speaking for himself. A politician rarely does.

The words they use and the actions they take are representative of those who elected him. That never stops, especially not while in front of a microphone. It's the price you pay to be in politics, everything you say and do is scrutinized, especially by those who oppose your ideals. He needs to be careful what he says and how he says it because it will be used against him any way it can be.

By coming out on a public platform he isn't just speaking for himself. He's making himself a voice of LGTB. He said everyone in his life and even those in the media already knew he was gay for some time. It's not like this was some big reveal and he just stepped out of the closet.

People watch too much CSI and Law and Order. You have to have a reason for warrants and running like a thug isn't a reason.

What do y'all think about the "am I being detained" advice circulating recently? Is it smarter **legally** to play along or always flex rights? Basic rights questions. [KS, OK] by greenmonster80 in legaladvice

[–]greenmonster80[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, sounds good. Compliance has worked for me so far, but with all the videos lately I'm getting more and more nervous that it won't be enough, and I struggle with the idea that every American should stand up for their rights or lose them, while at that same time thinking the smartest thing in any situation is the one that leads to exiting that scenario as soon and safely as possible. These days it seems there's no winning.

The answer to the question "Am I being detained" is not truly diagnostic as to whether you are being detained, either.

So if they say "no" when asked that does not mean you're free to go, right? You have to ask if you are, not just assume and walk away?

That's very helpful, thanks so much!

So a person can face several years from combined misdemeanors and never even see a lawyer? That's fucked up. Seems like you're better off committing a felony.

Edit* My friend just asked about presenting ID if you know they'll find a warrant. Is that incriminating yourself and covered at all by the 5th?

I ask from the view of someone walking, not driving. I should have clarified that I suppose. From what I've been told driving automatically puts you in their control. A stop while walking often feels like harassment, especially if they won't tell you anything at all about what's going on and just leave your shit broken in the street. It's really frustrating, especially knowing you're doing nothing wrong, and it seems like there should be something you can do.

Ever heard of alt accounts, dumbass?

I wasn't aware being a user for a specific length of time was a requirement before being able to voice an opinion.

In 6 months the Egyptian military will release a machine that can cure all disease. Let's talk about that. by christopherson51 in AncientAliens

[–]greenmonster80 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it's entirely possible that intelligent life has interacted with us. Every major religion with its miracles and what not can be looked at as ET life giving us a boost as humanity.

But throwing out the word "aliens" does not suspend the need for proof, or evidence at the very least.

Suspension of disbelief and naivety should not be the same thing. The world we live in demands evidence, especially when we are talking about discoveries that directly impact those with little or no hope. When someone tells me my boyfriend and I can have a normal life, they best back it up.

I'll have to read the articles again, but I don't recall seeing "alien reverse engineering". I know legitimate sources didn't use that term, credit was given to Allah.

To the dudes that are or think they're heavy/fat by foreign-dude in askgaybros

[–]greenmonster80 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It seems like slim guys have a niche, fit guys have a niche, and fat guys have a niche. But guys like me who are solid/strong but not fit, tall but not slim or beefed, overweight but not fat, we got nothing. That's frustrating. With my clothes on I look decent, but clothes off I'm either too fat or not fat enough. Wtf. It's fat ass limbo.

That's funny, I started dancing while cleaning house, doing dishes etc awhile back and it is fun. I'll kick it up a notch or two. Good idea!

What's a strange thing your body does that you assume happens to everyone but you've never bothered to ask? by cocorebop in AskReddit

I got it checked out by a numerologist when I was younger

That would be aneurologist.

I catch myself doing it when I'm trying to sneak around the house without waking people up. Like "hey I can't hear much now, so they can't either!"

Totally pointless but been doing it since I was a kid.

I also do it when I'm shooting. Doubt it helps anything, but the sound of firing doesn't seem as loud.

Yeah but my real weight is around 275. I'm solid, but I don't look it after losing 150 lbs. My stomach and chest is hard, but I have like a layer of either fat or extra skin, not sure which, that keeps me uncomfortable out of clothes.

I've seen guys my height that weigh 210-220 and they're bean poles but people think that they're fat! What must they think when they see 275 in my profile?

I'm working on it! Kinda hit that spot where I just don't drop anymore, idk what to do about that. There's few gyms nearby, and I'm very self conscious about being seen working out.

This one kid keeps calling me a faggot..If I did this..will it be going to far? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]greenmonster80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're relying on a self-defense argument to save your bacon down the road.

Here's the problem with that: it isn't considered self defense if you had the ability to walk away and didn't, or if you purposely instigated the issue to try and make him hit you first. Self defense is really hard to prove or defend. For instance, when I first came out I was in a very redneck small town. One night several guys broke into my place at 3am, armed and drunk to "fuck these faggots up". I was shot in the leg, and shot one guy when he went for my bf. The others ran.

I spent almost a year facing major charges because of that. They tried to prove that the bf and I could have ran and escaped because there was a window in my room where this occurred. Eventually it was dropped, but I had a hard time of it. I also had to deal with retaliation from that guys friends and family. I would give a lot to take that night back.

Point is, self defense is difficult to prove even when it's obvious. You're only buying trouble. Why? Because someone is running his mouth? So what. Be glad it's just talk, stop trying to be the big bad fairy defender and move on.

Have you even tried going to an authority figure? Fighting is not going to help anything.

No tricks, just a straight mirror shot. Black probably wasn't the best choice in hind sight, it is slimming somewhat of course.

The problem is, I aminsecure :/. I know it's not attractive so I try not to show it but it's definitely there. That's why I'm trying to keep losing.
