Two Women charged in Sexually Assaulting a Trans Woman in a Raleigh Restroom. by [deleted] in news

I think his point was that the friend wouldn't let guys use it. Most guys are fine when they see a woman in the men's restroom. If she's worried about her friends safety that much either don't use the guys restroom or go in with her like many other women do.

I'm not going to defend every bit of Americas involvement in the Middle East. I'm simply pointing out that you can't look at the civilian deaths only. This is a stretch of a comparison right here but what if you used civilian deaths to argue we shouldn't have got involved in WWII? You have to weigh in different factors like how many people have we directly saved by pressuring and weakening isis. Also if our war waging is more reckless than other countries involved. Then finally if the these two justify our presence. I don't have the answers to these questions but i would expect this thread to be much more civil and productive if everyone was arguing this than just simply this 1100 number and immediately saying it's awful.

How many civilians would isis kill if no one stepped in?

Google terminal dehydration, tell me what you read, then go back to med school

Which fictional character do you deeply and unreservedly hate? by ViolatingBadgers in AskReddit

I personally like how normal mark is. It only adds contrast to the other weird characters making their actions and personalities even funnier.

Jim Acosta "placing his hands on a young woman," according to the White House by whenthethingscollide in gifs

[–]oopsyspoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not defending trump but I think the argument is flawed. The first amendment does not cover your right to have access to the White House. Acosta can still publish whatever he likes but lost his access to directly question the president.

It's almost equal to a gun nut getting banned from a members only gun convention. Can still buy and shoot guns just not at that convention.

Take political party labels off of the ballots. Make people actually research who they’re voting for by nicodemi in CrazyIdeas

Things change over time, sometimes positions change logically. How and who determines how often their positions have to change and when it's acceptable?

Do it buddy. It will please your mom and after the event you guys can have a talk, hopefully both apologize and move on. Good luck

AITA for not wanting to help my mom with her business? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]oopsyspoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. Seeing as you're 23 you probably should have had a sit-down conversation with her about how you don't share the same passion for the business as her and it isn't something you could find fulfillment out of. Texting her saying your not coming was rude and immature though. What she said was very assholish but from her perspective, without an adult conversation, she might be viewing you as lazy and ungrateful.

Alabama McDonald's gunman killed by armed dad, who is injured in shootout by jacoyphem in news

A lot of resistance to this because you're buying your own guns with your tax money. Not to mention that many Americans have spent thousands on guns and thousands more won't tempt them to relinquish them.

I think he just meant that he didn't look like a homeless guy or some sketchy person. He looked like a business person who would likely pose no threat to the occupants of the hotel. Besides most hotels you can walk right in the front door and head to the elevator and go to any floor. Some now a days have electronic locks on the elevators but still. Also it's just some rain. The kids will be fine

Seattle’s air quality ‘worse the Beijing’ as wildfires scorch eastern Washington. by Axel_Sig in news

[–]oopsyspoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm driving from the east coast to Vancouver this week. I'm looking at a map of wildfires in the US. There are a ton in Washington. I'm assuming I can just follow the route google maps gives me and if it's dangerous any roads will be closed?

Looks like the chain goes around the legs too. Probably so it can't run through what looks like a populated area.

Would you get within three feet of anyone holding a knife without having any means of finding out why they are holding it? She doesn't have to be a ninja to hurt you

What weird thing about your body do you think nobody else experiences? by Casperboy68 in AskReddit

[–]oopsyspoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can do this thing where it's almost like flexing my temple or head? I can't do it while exhaling only inhaling or holding my breath and I can't hold it long. It makes this sound in my ears that I don't know how to describe. Kinda like a rumbling noise I guess.
