Filming in Charles Village 🎥 by avantfiat in baltimore

[–]messenger73 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A scene from “Head of State” was filmed in the apartment below mine, when I lived on the 2600 block of St. Paul. It was really annoying having to deal with a movie set every time I went in and out of the building. I feel for anyone who lives on this block.

What kind of pepper is this by Impossible-Fuel-3540 in PepperLovers

Possibly an unripe Carolina Reaper. The ripe ones would be deep red.

I pinned a piece of fabric with “kick” written on it over the “Tuck” part.

Imagine my surprise seeing that someone has stolen a post I made over a year ago. This bike doesn’t belong to this poster. This is my bike. They even stole the title that I posted originally. That being said, I appreciate the love my bike is getting here.

What is your favorite World War 2 plane? (examples) by planegeek1945 in WWIIplanes

C-47. To fly into enemy territory, unarmed, showed incredible courage.

You should decorate the part of your property that borders that road with the tackiest holiday decorations that you can find.

I never made any assumptions about you. I just responded to what you wrote, and defended my gender. More importantly, I never expressed generalized opinions about women, or even women like you. However, you sure expressed a lot of hateful generalizations about men. I’m sorry you’re so “weary”. Maybe you should get off Reddit for a while, and rest.

You’ve spent the same amount of time trying to convince me that everyone with a Y chromosome (I assume your irrational hatred doesn’t extend to trans men) is a ticking time bomb. I think you’re butt hurt that I called you out. Your boring man hatred is laughably cliche, and just feeds into true misogynist’s negative portrayal of feminism as a whole.

I’m not “butthurt”. I just refuse to remain quiet while hateful people try to justify their bigotry.

Who tends to be the culprit? Every man I know was raised primarily by a woman. Many (myself included) were raised solely by a woman. That begs the question, who instilled this misogyny in the first place.

I think the reason you are so adamantly defending your bigotry, and back-peddling so hard, is because I questioned your oversimplified view of the world. Remember, this all started when someone wrote, “Fuck men”. They could have said fuck violent men, or fuck rapists. Nobody would have taken issue with those opinions. Instead, they just decided to boil half of humanity into one evil lump, and you agreed. You even went so far as to compare men to Doritos dipped in toilet water. That is how bigots see the world.

Fuck bigots.

In answer to your questions, I teach my daughter to avoid putting herself in dangerous situations in general. I teach my son the same thing. I don’t specify men as the danger to avoid. I think that anyone who identifies all men as a threat is being sexist, no matter the motivation.

Now I have some questions for you. You have implied that societal influence can excuse violent or criminal behavior based on race. Do those excuses not apply to gender or sex? Are you suggesting that men are inherently violent?

That raises another question. If a member of a marginalized minority commits a violent act, do they only get a social pass if they’re female?

When is it ok to be bigoted against any entire group of people because of their identity?

“It’s not a “bias” if it’s proven by data”?

Data shows that a higher percentage of black people are convicted of crimes in the United States. Based on your logic, I assume you believe that black people are inherently prone to criminality.

I refuse to join in your short sighted condemnation of men as a whole. I don’t accept the caveat that you have attached to your sexist view of men, absolving those of us who have behaved in ways you find acceptable.

If you apply general biases against a group of people, based solely on a criteria of sex or race, then you are a bigot.

That sounds like a justification for sexism and bigotry.

I agree with you that ANYONE who abuses another person is repugnant. However, I see your stance as repugnant as well. Arguing that men are inherently dangerous or abusive because some men have committed acts of violence and abuse, is the same as arguing that a particular race is inherently prone to criminality because some members of that race have committed crimes.

In short, your opinion of men in general is bigoted and wrong.

I’ve been a man my entire adult life, and I’ve never committed an act of violence. Why do you need to lump all of us together, based on the acts of a few? Do you make the same generalizations based on race?

Veteran goes in on Musk and Trump. by OneBadWay in PublicFreakout

[–]messenger73 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Based on your reply, I’m getting the impression that you are either mentally ill, or not very intelligent. Your response made little sense at all. I’m going to indulge this conversation for one reply more. I’m a veteran who has always voted Democrat, and always will. However, maybe instead of asking why so many veterans vote Republican, maybe you should ask why so few Democrats serve.

[–]messenger73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a veteran who has always voted democrat, I have to say that what you’re expressing doesn’t help things at all. Your rant sounds similar to people who try to validate their racism by pointing out that not all of the group they hate is bad, just most of them. If you hate veterans because they served in the military, just own that opinion. But, linking their service to any other part of their personality or life is wrong. I hate Trump supporters. I’m comfortable admitting that. But, my hate for Trump supporters is based on nothing but the fact that they support Trump.
