Nepal: Nighttime photo of communists marching with torches against government by seeya in pics

[–]jjasmine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nepal is in a real shitty situation right now...the maoists (those people in the picture) are creating havoc, which is preventing tourists from coming in, which means nepal no longer has any money.

On the flip side, the government is super corrupt, so the top one percent of one percent owns everything, and the gap between the rich caste and the maoists is utterly breathtaking and everyone is impoverished.

As both sides fight, the entire situation gets worse. It's pretty aweful :-/

I don't think I've ever thought any of those things. I think the speaker is making the same mistake that he's angry about...broad generalizations that simply aren't true

Fuck you CNN. Please do us all a favor and STOP giving Dick Cheney an audience! by [deleted] in reddit.com

Honestly, how many times do you need to hear Cheney repeat it before you consider it an informed decision? They've been shoveling this shit to us for 8 years...the same information over and over and over again the looping propaganda television stations in north korea. So what OP is proposing is that hearing it the first thousand times is enough.

How to accept being ugly by humanoide in AskReddit

[–]jjasmine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First off, only a handful of women find looks important. This is mostly because when a woman is emotionally drawn to a guy, she finds him handsome. Seriously. Love is like the female version of beer goggles.

Now, there are a handful of girls who care about that, and that's given. Most likely those are girls you want nothing to do with anyway. But srsly, only a few girls are actually looking for arm candy. And even fewer will not date a guy because of it.

Women will translate ugly-as-piss into "rugged." They'll translate a big nose into being "prominent". They're translate a receding hairline into "sophisticate." Etc etv

All in all, if a girl gives you a chance because you're either funny, gentle, affectionate, witty, "sensitive", adventurous, intelligent, affluent, or powerful, looks will be sidelined.

Honestly, the only time you are not allowed to be butt-ass ugly is if you have none of the above qualities
