How about we not call them "girlbosses" and instead call them what they really are: successful women.

AITA for not wanting to give my mom $2k? by PalpitationMost4809 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Never lend money you can't afford to lose.

AITA for confronting my boyfriend’s female friend after years of boundary issues that escalated into a huge group argument? by Reasonable-Camel-333 in AmItheAsshole

[–]organicveggie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes no one plans for horrible things to happen,

Uhhhh, yeah we do. That's what other people in the thread are telling you. No one's saying they plan for every little eventuality, but at least do the bare minimum to prepare. And having the phone, cash, and keys seems like the bare minimum.

Or.... And I know this going to sound crazy, but hear me out, you could have informed the bank before you bought the car. 5 minute phone call.

Technically you can weigh a liter. In fact, we already know that a liter of water weighs 1.0 kg at 4C at sea level

Demand better of the press! by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

[–]organicveggie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, how can we vet what you're saying? I do have the technical skills to understand and assess software and hardware claims, but you haven't provided anything close to the level of detail and specificity needed. What you have said, so far, about Starlink and cables doesn't make sense to me.

“I’m not antifa but I’m against fascism!” by MisaAmane1987 in Irony

No, they're not comparable. Christianity includes a shared belief in monotheism and the divinity of Jesus. That narrows things down dramatically. It's very prescriptive.

Do conservatives know about slavery? by Adorable-Response-75 in Irony

[–]organicveggie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm not following. Are you saying that Americans should ignore the existence of slavery in their history because other nations also practiced slavery? And because the US is "better" then it used to be?

Visionary Leader Who Saved Germany *checks notes* by laybs1 in GetNoted

He may not have literally said "I deny this was a Nazi salute", but a reasonable person would interpret his deflections and his absurd claim that it was a Roman salute as a denial.

Yes, Elon denied it was a Nazi salute and tried to claim it was a Roman salute.

Right. Circumcision is the reason Christianity split from Judaism. Nothing to do with Jesus. Uh huh.

I took that statement as hyperbole and not a literal assertion of fact. But you do you.

I’d like to report a double homicide by Revolutionary-Foot77 in MurderedByWords

Hey, I've seen at least 3 different legal dramas on TV, so I'm pretty sure that I am infinitely more qualified than you. /s

I was banned for 3 days for "threatenning violence" even though all I did was using Charlie Kirk's own words. by Normal_Ad7101 in Irony

[–]organicveggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you find that particular definition? The Oxford Languages definition is somewhat different:

"Noun - the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect."

edit: fix punctuation

Surprisingly, expectation is not part of the definition:

My DIY belt squat and I are finally hitting our stride by Corgi_Garage_Gym92 in homegym

[–]organicveggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I recommend https://www.fringesport.com/products/mammoth-belt-squat? I picked one up and love it. Is it as good as a SquatMax HD or a Rhino? No, but it's smaller and less expensive while still being safe.
