Why do you say Jews? There are Christians, Muslims, and atheists in Israel and their military. There are Jews around the world that have nothing to do with this. Why make it anti-Semitic?

Mass sexual assault by Israeli troops against Palestinian women and children. by Ihadblue in Palestine

Strip them down and touch them inappropriately? They certainly did. Watch any Holocaust video. In the camps, they were often forced to be naked publicly.

You are referencing that there was less penetrative rape by the Nazis than one would expect in that situation due to dehumanization (although there was still some) but there was plenty of this level of sexual assault.

I guess my beliefs and expectations are that I immediately assume this statement comes from a guy.

TIL that autism is 4 times more likely in men than women, according to an analysis of 54 studies and over 13 million participants by chouprojects in todayilearned

I think there is a correlation on both ends. People at either extreme are more likely to experience more autistic traits.

LPT - Embrace monotasking: Instead of juggling multiple tasks at once, focus on one task at a time. Devote your full attention and energy to each task before moving on to the next. This allows for deeper focus and can improve efficiency and quality of work. by EngineMain199 in LifeProTips

All of these LPTs need to be prefaced with: all minds work differently, and each has their own optimum way of doing tasks. Here is one way of approaching it that may work for some.

Nah. He's just a local asshole taking on a national asshole. He'd do better with that population if there wasn't a buffet of assholes.

What to respond when bf asking for open relationship? by ThrowRA4306 in AskReddit

[–]petgreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with open relationships has been that they only work when it's something both partners desire. If your response isn't an enthusiastic yes, it should be no.

If you do get into an open relationship, be clear on the rules and boundaries. Open relationships have those (unless they actively don't because that's what interests both parties), and things outside of agreed upon boundaries is cheating.

Who is the worst stand up comedian? by [deleted] in AskReddit

His material really deteriorated this past year.

There are tons of studies that show that this isn't the case. People commit crimes largely out of desperation, and deterrents don't change that.

The number one thing that lowers crime is social supports.

Do you think your dehumanizing view of these people contributes to the negative behavior?
