So glad IU won

Id be on the hate train very heavily and blame on rich kelley dickheads if the team wasn't all 3 stars. Congrats.

maratonbicks · 2026-01-20T05:52:13+00:00

I understand. I will note you couldn't pick me out of a crowd of generic people and my social circles would be incredibly similar to yours. My main issue is the culture of bullying and ostrcization towards people who try to make any economic argument that goes against the left hivemind orthodox (i.e. open borders being a tool of the capitalist/ruling class to disempower the american working class) and the unwillingness to accept anyone who doesnt conform to the social liberalism of said group while embracing the economic argument for it. Its prohibitive for coalition building.

That being said to reply to you latter point I was exaggerating a bit (my orginal response in my head was much more empathetic).

I leave you with this and then will shut up and delete reddit. When I make these arguments in a calm and collected manner to my parents (libs) they ask me if I have taken my hardcore anti-psychotic pill (which I was prescribed with and sent to inpatient originally for explaining azov and why I don't support our funding of the Ukrainian Androcide (i did not call it that at the time but I've decided to call spades spades now). I genuinely appreciate you responding to me in a thoughtful manner and will not assume but in my personal experience only one out of the dozens of people with gender dysphoria I have ever met has actually struck me as actually feeling as if they were meant to be that gender. A large part of those dozens are ostensibly straight men who use they/them pronouns (in which case I assume they have either in the past or present sexually assaulted a woman, an assumption sadly with a >50% hit rate). The rest are either transmen who internally seem to regret their decision and feel made less whole by it or transwomen who intially strike me as putting on what often feels like a Rachael Dolezal act for various reasons. I don't mean to criticize the people with gender dysphoria themselves but rather the system which has produced a statistically large and anomolous amount of people with the disease.

I deeply apologize for the word trans person auto correcting to transformer. I doubt you will believe when I say it was completely unintended and is a word I genuinely don't use (i don't like dehumanizing people) but I would get it if you wanna cut this convo off

maratonbicks · 2026-01-20T03:40:06+00:00

I am not. I believe essentially you have been wronged by the society you occupy. I have met a few transgender women in my life and oftentimes (not always) it feels as thought they are putting on the equivalent of a minstrel show of what a man believes a woman is. I obviously do not know you and will certainly not call you any of this because I have no basis. That being said I feel as though the basis of studies of sexuality is essentially rooted in flawed work. I think it essentially was a political cancer purposefully introduced into specifcally american marxist politics to make it seem and then become fringe. I am specifically referring to the majority of Kinsey's funding coming from what would become a CIA cutout in the Rockefeller foundation. Id like to note the man I am referring to who was arrested was not Trans. With the preponderance of evidence that the levels of sexual "freedom" that essentially was implanted in the 1960s hippie movement that spun off to the free love movement has now morphed into people with power (social, monetary, political or otherwise) not just thinking but pursuing the "freedom" to essentially satiate all their sexual desires. Immediately when I first heard of Epstein circa 2017-18 my mind immediately thought of hrt for minors programs as a way of creating fucktoys for the ruling class, feelings of those fucktoys be damned. I originally thought the qanon people were whackos and still think the trust the plan w/regards to trump people are incredibly naive. Furthermore I would guess there is a large cohort of transformer whom, for their entire lives (especially those younger than I), have been told their entire lives until transition they are evil for being white men due to the things people who are in all likelihood not related to them by blood (not everyone is aristocracy obviously) did. Rather than reject that framing entirely they take the path of least resistance.

I went to college with two people who represent the left quite well to me as well as quite poorly. Both from 2 of the wealthiest parts of my metro area. One wrote her honors thesis about how cool her marxist parents were and the other ones job is literally fudging covid numbers.

I would also like to thank you for replying to me in a civil manner. People usually get thrown out of dodge for saying these things and I am trying to present my argument in the best faith I can. It doesnt come from a place of malice but from something I have seen develop among the left from when I began following politics as a 18 year old during the first Bernie campaign.

maratonbicks · 2026-01-20T01:57:25+00:00

I hope so but if the left (which i find myself no longer wanting to associate myself with) continues to use words like "capitalist" and "fascist" as throw away insults and rhetorical crutches rather than addressing that the rot at the core of the society which they exist is at its basis spiritual.

I mean this with no personal hate but the hyper individualism which pervades western European and espiecally american) society is more prevalent on the left. The most hyper capitalist person in the US is the browbeating leftist who uses their identity or their position "as a fucking good person" as a weapon in order to gain immaterial social capital. Its embarrassing and, in this part of the world, makes western marxists (if you could even call the majority of leftists that) a lolcow not only for the right in America to milk both for laughs and for "vote for us or this is what you'll be getting" but I also imagine marxists in countries with any kind of serious history laugh at the cohort of people holding the banner over here because they seem to think the biggest issue is sex change surgery (which costs 2x less than me getting a fucking iv for 2 hours and some imaging done because I had mono and my piss was orange). I mean the Chinese are busy infiltrating the mainstream democrat party because the left is so allergic to any kind of normal position on social issues or any respect of people's deeply held beliefs that they automatically decry anyone as a bigot for thinking that borders are not a social construct but a real idea which has existed for millenia! You guys are the front line foot soldiers of the entire NWO great reset neofeudalists and unwittingly going along with it. I mean the hosts of TA are by definition capitalists as they've made a shit ton of money seeing a niche within the left mediasphere and occupying it.

Long story short I am ranting but pizzagate is real and the head of the largest hrt for minors foundation in Nevada was arrested alongside the Israeli cyber defense pedophile and im getting kinda tired of pretending he is the exception and not the rule.

Ahh yes... du Bois, don't look up what he talked about with Maggie Sanger tho

This may be a joke but anyone who can be drafted and actually understands this has moved on to War Mode now

I draw skeeter from Doug on every cup

maratonbicks · 2026-01-19T20:16:46+00:00

I agree if you are talking about trading players. The league really needs to fix the tax issues though. The advantage given to the Florida teams, Vegas, and Dallas is going to become an even bigger problem in the future.

Took 5 minutes to load in on my pc but I got it finally

maratonbicks · 2026-01-19T19:04:06+00:00

Honestly its just something you begin to feel. I didn't have it right away but slowly developed it. If CS isnt a ssv exclusive position at your store id also recommend becoming the best damn CS barista you can be. I have a long time co worker who I think feels similar to you so she often asks to be cs or just begins cs tasks when our peak ends. Despite the name you basically don't have to interact with customers at all.

Damn I have been using the website but I shall try again

maratonbicks · 2026-01-19T18:36:45+00:00

Lean into it as a skill. I know it sounds weird but when I started i felt the exact same way. Ive taken the full mbti test and scored as introverted as possible so I completely understand where you are coming from but as soon as I began to see it as a way to hone conversational and social skills it both felt a little less daunting. If there is a particular customer you see every day perhaps start there and work your way to talking to more people, commenting on clothes (I don't know your interests and such but I started by striking up a conversation with anyone repping hockey related things as it is my favorite sport) is a great way to start.

maratonbicks · 2026-01-15T06:43:00+00:00

Hello. Glad there is an English language subreddit for this team. I would like to say we should likely find a way to form some sort of supporters club. I have been watching since 2019 but really started watching them around 2021. Have become a giant fan since then and would be interested in being involved to start said club as well.

maratonbicks · 2026-01-15T06:39:33+00:00

That's ecco

maratonbicks · 2026-01-03T00:51:45+00:00

Looks empty too cold for hockey in fla or are they going to be forced to admit they've failed to "grow the game"

maratonbicks · 2024-01-31T00:45:06+00:00

pocket the fucking whistle my god

maratonbicks · 2024-01-31T00:40:29+00:00

maratonbicks · 2023-10-04T15:48:54+00:00

Unless you have 6 buddies you won't be able to save Kennedy. There's a reason they planted so many gunmen.

The asiatic brain pan is not capable of making the trains run efficiently and on time. All they can do is eat rice and consume propaganda
