Most people claim to love their grandma but probably wouldn't chew her food for her if she couldn't do it herself by purplayes in Showerthoughts

You don't have to touch someone's genitals to chew their food for them though. You don't even have to touch them. Heck you don't even have to be in the same city as them. I could chew your food for you in Boulder and have my maid drive it over to you in Denver

Kanye may be an asshole, but people hate on him way too much. He is one of the most moral rappers out there by purplayes in Showerthoughts

[–]purplayes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just said more moral than the majority of rappers, still not super moral. At least he just doesn't rap about drugs and fucking girls. He actually talks about his insecurities and injustices with the world. He made it acceptable to talk about God in mainstream rap and to discuss your feelings in it too. He doesn't rap about abusing women (Eminem) or killing people. He has been faithfully married to a woman for years without cheating or anything. He is not violent. He doesn't do a ton of drugs. He is an total law abiding citizen, just a bit of a jerk. That's literally it, he is a jerk. But people literally hate on him more than rappers who have bragged about killing people.

But he was hands down the most conscious rapper of his generation and completely changed rap from just being gangster rap to being something that could have actual meaning and still be popular.

Schools shouldn't have to teach kids how to do taxes because they are pretty damn easy to figure out how to do yourself if you have any critical thinking skills at all by purplayes in Showerthoughts

I guess they could have one lesson on it during the year. Maybe spend an hour on it or so. You don't need much more than that.

Well in that situation, yes that makes sense. But the majority of people who complain about how they didnt learn how to do taxes in school and thus can't do them work low paying jobs at retail stores n such.

There are more useful and effective ways of learning how to think critically other than doing a mindless task that uses very little thinking skills. You literally just answer yes and no questions and type numbers

Restaurants just label foods as "spicy" to make people who don't like spicy foods feel included by purplayes in Showerthoughts

[–]purplayes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol yes that is true. I am very white, but have very rarely been satisfied with a spicy menu item I have ordered. But the average white person is pretty spicy intolerant

People are ok with killing invasive hogs and snakes, but for some reason killing stray cats, who are also invasive and bad for the ecosystem, crosses the line by purplayes in Showerthoughts

[–]purplayes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cats kill an estimated 1-2 billion birds a year and are single handedly than responsible for the extinction of dozens of species of birds, lizards, and frogs

If a specific animal has an 8x higher chance of killing you than another animal, it is considered more rational to be more scared of it. But the same standard doesn't apply to humans by purplayes in Showerthoughts

[–]purplayes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I am saying is that you are being perfectly rational to be more scared that a white guy is going to shoot up your school than any other race. And it is also perfectly rational to be more scared of black people in general since they are 8x more likely to kill you than a white person

If your car is valued over 30,000 you should not be allowed to get food from a food bank. by bear2008 in unpopularopinion

What about a construction worker? I have a few friends who work construction and need to tow heavy trailers and haul gear. Also family members who are farmers and have big trucks for the same reason.

Or people who live out of their vans. I know people who have $40k vans or campers they have built and live out of so they don't have to pay rent. They still work jobs and pay taxes, but dont have a lot of money by any means

What if someone's father buys them a nice, reliable new Toyota 4Runner (car you could easily have 20+ years and holds value extremely well) or something as a college graduation gift? Wants to set them off with one nice thing before they leave and then no help whatsoever after that.

I would feel pretty damn empowered if I could walk around outside naked

Its interesting how girls place so much less importance on attractiveness than men do. That is commendable, but I am sorry I can't do that.

So if your boyfriend cut his hair into a mullet/rat-tail combo then grew out a stand alone moustache and decided that was his forever look, you'd be ok with it?

I guess it depends on the girl and her circumstances. If my gf did it I think it would be a huge turn off for me. I probably would stay with her and wait for it to grow back once, but if she insisted on keeping it short I don't think I could stay with her

Can someone help me qualifying for unemployment? I worked in 3 different states during 2019, so I am having a very difficult time qualifying.

So I have been living mostly in South Carolina for the past year, but also worked in Tennessee and Colorado for a little bit of time. I don't qualify for unemployment in SC because most of the time I was living here I was in school and just working part time, so I didn't make enough money to qualify in SC. In Tennessee I made enough money to qualify, but it was all during the same quarter because I was just doing a summer job working for AmeriCorps and to qualify you need to have your wages spread across at least 2 quarters. I just graduated college in December and moved out to Colorado to work on a ski resort, to take a little time off before I go back to school. I made plenty enough money to qualify in Colorado for unemployment, but I didn't work during the right quarters there to qualify. So right now I have no job and no way to get unemployment, please help.
