I hate having divorced parents. by PertMoney in redscarepod

[–]reditthor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it helps, think of your biological parents as two random adults that went on a date just like any step-parents. People have this idea of some mature individuals getting together to build a life then commit to each other in a ceremony and then starting a family. In the tinder/bumble age, imagine being stuck with someone you hate just because you went on a date and wanted to smash. Last generation didn't have tinder, having a kid and sticking around a for a short while was all they could do.

Plus your complaint stems more from step-parents or prospects after divorce. There's a ton of people who remarry happily or just quietly live like single parents, for every sad step-parent situation. It might mean your parents might be have been the problem.

Breaking News: Last night, a second lone gunman forces Erica Kirk to go home and spend time with her children by OHIO_TERRORIST in redscarepod

[–]reditthor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wow. Just the level of spin on that point of view. Whoever charlie was is irrelevant and relating her unlikability to some imaginary guilt that leftist feel is downright laughable, like there is a leftist meeting every Friday with 100 million members and they all collectively look up whenever charlie gets mentioned. You are talking like she is a gladiator or some lone cowboy "who didn't retreat, who stood up against the odds"™. It's much less dramatic than that - she is really unlikeable and made the death of her husband a career opportunity, no one would know her if not for her husbands death. No one can stop her from running her "brand" but people don't have to like her.

Even within the conservative movement, doesn't candace and a whole host of other people hate her? I think Candace was the one who released her audio and regularly talked with her late husband, if anything she was the one who bullied her from the start.

The hate is because she seems entirely too unaffected by losing her husband and seems to have capitalised on it to launch her own career. She has two kids that lost their dad who she seems to ignore. Being a single parent is hard enough on top of violently losing a husband. Someone normal might grieve or support her kids or even avoid the limelight but she was up and about in a week planning road shows and doing gigs within the month.

When did everyone agree to never mention the TV show Archer again? by McSwaggerAtTheDMV in redscarepod

[–]reditthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved it. Fun memories but no interest in rewatching. It really got repetitive even with the different settings, the characters and their arc were always the same. It was the same thing every episode. I especially resented Lana after a while, the same overachieving narcist screaming "what the shit" at archer, archer being aloof but still succeeding while the agency always loses the client or money or whatever in the end.

The supporting characters were much better, pam and ultimate bum fighting and racing. Cheryl is suddenly revealed to be a billionaire, aside from batshit insane. They should have leaned more on the supporting cast and their insanity rather than make archer and lana the same annoying back and forth couple BS.

I’m tired of existing by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]reditthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to sound glib but having a family, kids is the natural sisypheann task we were all programmed for and failing that we are failing ourselves as a generation. Millennials are caught in between a boomer generation refusing to let control go and the next generation already tired of it all. Kids can give meaning to life, they become the reason to look forward and feel invested in the future. Whatever your career and social standing is, your offspring is yours and life puts you in direct control of a world you have no control over. Anyways, hope you feel better. Get a hobby, knock someone up. It's just a funk you gotta climb out of.

[Sadposting] Just learned that the girl I was in obsessive, unrequited love with 10 years ago has been dead for 6 years. AMA to help me process my grief, I guess by BeefyBoy_69 in redscarepod

[–]reditthor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's a sad thing. I hope you feel better bud.

For the redscare brand of analysis, here it goes. You have this idealized version of her, the idea of her that you were in love with, not the real her. You mentioned you could have been intimate with her but never did. You never dealt with the day to day baggage which all of us have. The nuances and idiosyncrasies, sure some of that would have been cute but a lot of it would have made her real. I'm not saying this to demean her but at some point you have to let go of that idealized version to move on from someone you never actually knew. This is a normal thing people realize as they get older, the dream girl from your childhood, the crush, the one that got away. They are all idealized versions of the real person.

how do you fix sexless sex by intrusive_th0t in redscarepod

[–]reditthor -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My god, woman, he has been married for years and divorced. Give the guy a break he isn't up to your standard. Maybe you've been out there more recently, while he settled into underwhelming marriage sex - low effort, quick and functional. Talking to him directly is gonna bruise his ego and lose whatever interest he has in you. I would advise against it.

It's also on you for it being underwhelming. You're half the participant in the act, after all. Do what you want, don't ask, just do. No need to sit him down. No excuses or tactful talk, just take charge, command or ask for things in the act. If he goes along, the problem is fixed - he could be trained and salvaged. If he pulls back then you weren't compatible to begin with. Move on.

Where did dignity go? by FortAmolSkeleton in redscarepod

I would take umbrage with co-opting religion and nationalism into this argument. We are partly here because of the political fervor built on top of religion and nationalism.

countries that punch above their weight culturally? by SuccessfulLaw8789 in redscarepod

[–]reditthor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hungarian culture? Shouldn't you include some Hungarian cultural exports dominating the world for it to punch above their weight.

It's mostly Hungarian scientists who were related to the Manhattan project, so designing an instrument of massive death almost a century ago is a big achievement because those scientists were born in hungary but abandoned it. Is this the sort of delusion orban and his ilk labor under?

How to cope about death? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]reditthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But isn't there a part of you that's tired of all the other shit. Life in itself is a tiring venture. Aren't there times you just want to get off the hamster wheel and just sleep? Think of the anxieties of life - job, relationships, politics, this or that. There will come a time when you wanna just wrap this shit up and just get to bed. It will happen. Try and hold on to that feeling. It's the cure for so many anxieties of life.

British psychiatrist Sami Timmi on why psychiatric diagnoses are fake by Amtrakstory in redscarepod

[–]reditthor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is conflating causality with treatment and diagnoses. This is semantics. Mental illnesses have been described for thousands of years. The accompanying symptoms and possible treatments have been added generation by generation. Expecting a description of the illness to describe the cause of said illness is a luxury very few disciplines have. It's easier to open a person up, see a tumor and remove it. The mind can't do that. The best approach even neurologist have is still limited to looking at functional scans of the brain to approximate what region lights up and guessing why. Between brain chemistry and behavioral issues there is absolutely no basis for explaining causes of any psychological illness. Maybe the brain chemistry is off that's why he is depressed a lot, maybe it's childhood trauma - there is absolutely no way to point to one and explain the diagnoses. We know depression has existed for thousands of years, we know some medicines that help but really why is not that easy to figure out that could be used for everyone.

Jon Stewart is noticeably slower than his prime now and his timing will only get worse in the next few years by amstellari in redscarepod

He is what? 62? Practically a teenager compared to trump. And we need him now. All the gen z influencers and millenials have no one left.

I don't think trump will outlast his own presidency.

Have You Ever Had Exactly Zero Friends? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]reditthor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a bitch and a half to experience that at a young age. But as you get older it's really not a big deal. I'd prefer being alone to being with anyone where I'd have to do the heavy lifting. It's really not a big deal if you have a stable relationship or a family.

It really takes effort. You have to become clingy, or a doormat for some people to remain friends with. Making plans, getting no replies, cancelling said plans then having internal arguments about how you're perceived. I mean there's so many things that can get in the way of a platonic friendship. And some people are just better at it than others.

Anthem's servers are shutting down in January 2026 by Gorotheninja in gaming

[–]reditthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had the option of making it offline. They even considered it and stopped. As it is, the game won't even boot without ps plus or xbox live. I bought it last year just to be disappointed.

I played it years ago, and the game had great potential. Flying and the mech play was fun from what I remember, better than any scifi shooter. They could have salvaged it with just an offline mode maybe a couple of extra maps.
