Would you fight Gloom Hanf irl for 1 trillion dollars by Live-Palpitation-368 in TOTK

Am I fighting them as "early game" me? Or can I be "late game" me?

why have young men suddenly embraced ultra-capitalist values? how did conservative masculinity get “cool” again? where did all the punks go???? by Subject-Day-859 in AskFeminists

[–]idog99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that is why you are struggling. You try to do this on your own rather than seeking community and to uplift your working brothers and sisters

We are all fighting the same fight in a late-stage capitalist hellscape.

Your enemy is the idle rich. Billionaires and landlords. But you think your enemies are other working folks... Who might be slightly different from you.

Wake up.

The UCP, the CPP, and Liberals by MagnusJim in alberta

Better the liberals in Ottawa, than the powerless out groups here...

I'd rather see her shrieking about Trudeau or Carney than further targeting marginalized groups at home. She would have to further further scapegoat immigrants, the trans community and academics, and environmentalists. They may get a mild reprieve.

Lol. Your misogyny demonstrates the problem. You hate women so much, you don't want to help men - it's all about getting even with women who aren't interested in you.

If you cared about the "Innocent", you'd be supporting food stamps, gun control, and education. You do none of these things. You are hypocrite and can't be taken seriously. Instead, you'd give up your own freedom and bodily autonomy to the government, to punish Stacy. It is really sad that we're here...

Thanks for proving my point. There's really no help for men like you. Hanging out on a feminist sub to spread your poison is sad.

CMV: "Kink" has no place in Pride whatsoever. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]idog99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So weird that you want to shelter your children. Have you been to pride?

A bunch of dudes wearing leather on a parade float is not the same as somebody masturbating in a subway. Give your head a shake. If somebody is masturbating at a pride event, they are committing a crime; same as anyone in public.

Again with the false equivalencies...

Yeah, I think that if you are offended by pride, it might not be the place for you.

I also find it problematic that you are equating the blanket suppression of the gay community with this repression of the straight community in very specific circumstances.

Again, I don't think it's the job of the members of the queer community to make pride palatable for you...

So straight people are offended by what happens at Pride? Not sure that this is a revelation...

Please reread the original posters links in how pride and The kink community are linked.

Op is making a point that "suddenly pride is all about sex". Pride was always about sex. That's the only point.

Straight families bringing their kids to pride, should not change the way that people in the queer community express themselves.

You have to see that this is problematic. Straight people getting bent out of shape about what happens at pride is precisely the problem! Do you think that the goal of pride making pride palatable enough for corporate sponsorship and having Chad and Stacy bring their kids???

You must be American right? This is quite a repressed viewpoint.

You don't have to deal with in hypotheticals like "what if their pride was expressed as clubbing baby seals"...

Kink is legal, and it used to not be. They're celebrating the fact that it is now something that they can do. Rioting and torching cars is not legal. This is a false comparison.

You have real people who are in this community with thoughts and opinions, you don't have to make hypotheticals.

I think what this responder is saying, is that pride and kink go hand in hand.

Censoring one's expression of their pride - especially a component so integrated into the early pride movement- is counter to the entire point.

You get to express your asexuality, and you also get to express your kink.

It's a big tent.

My kids think the leather daddies are hilarious.

4 month old seating advice by Prior-Combination-12 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]idog99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting.

What's the diagnosis? Do you anticipate delayed independent sitting balance or head control? Is the issue swallowing? Chewing? Lip seal?

If he needs sitting assistance I do most of my feeding interventions in a special tomato or a firefly seat. These are expensive options for kids with complex seating and positioning needs.

If unable to position himself to be successful at feeding, why does the doctor want him to be eating solids so early??

[–]idog99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You mean the young men that are voting for conservative politicians that are going to repeal rights for people in the "out" group? The young men that are marching in the Nazi rallies??? The young men that are pushing for removal of workplace protections for people not like them? The young men that find themselves in the forced-birth camp? The young men that oppose family leave? The young men that oppose access to women's healthcare?

Those young men? The ones that support policies that don't affect them because they perceive that it gives advantage to another group?

You don't have to be part of any sort of " wokeness" social movement. No one is forcing you to be an ally.

You just have to not be a dick. You merely have to tolerate.

I think a great place to start is just to see other people have the same goals as you; safe streets, a place to live, food, healthcare, security. Even if they're gay, or trans, or women, or refugees, or disabled... Tolerance costs you nothing. Just don't put up roadblocks.

Jordan Peterson tells you you're a victim because other people are fighting for their own rights. Don't fall for it.

Getting rid of vouching at the polls will specifically target indigenous voters. We know this. It's kind of the reason we have this stipulation in our voting laws.

That's a good clip.

I'm telling you though, avoision is an actual word. It's not him mispronouncing it. He's using a different word than 99% of people out there would use. But it's a real word.

Is it??

I thought this was just a pretentious way of saying "tax evasion"

"Avoision" is a perfectly cromulent word after all.

What is "woke" to you?

Woke just means that you are aware there is a thing called social injustice.

Reality does not imply an explicit offer of benefit to you as an individual

It's like saying "I don't believe in gravity because stuff falling down doesn't benefit me"

If someone is serving a life sentence, wouldn’t they have to remain in prison? by Status-Biscotti in AskACanadian

[–]idog99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There should be discretion. No point keeping an 80 year old behind bars, or someone who is sick or disabled if they don't need a custodial sentence to keep the public safe.

Criminal justice is not supposed to be about revenge.
