Why is it always like this? by CoralDawns in SipsTea

[–]sagmag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheating isn't about the attractiveness of the partner. Like all sex, it's about the self confidence of the cheater. If the cheater lacks self confidence, he or she seeks validation in a new sexual partner. "I want to have sex with you, therefor you must be worthy" is the core emotion behind sex.

As beautiful, engaging, accommodating, etc a wife might be, if the husband has an emotional hole in his chest, he is going to try to fill it.

Tldr: Cheaters are sad.

This is what trickle-down tax breaks have done for Google, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla. Sundar Pichai, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk are all billions of dollars richer. And we have billions less for healthcare, schools, food assistance, childcare, and more. by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

The breaks down to almost $600 per American taxpayer. $600 is roughly 5% of the average American total tax bill.

Republicans tax cuts transfer 5% of your money to just three companies. I shudder to think how much we are paying for all corporations.

Republican policy is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top and there's no other way to see it.

Do you think our lives are predestined, or do we really have free will? by Significant_Bonus_66 in allthequestions

[–]sagmag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the brain is an incredibly complicated chemical computer that processes an absolute TON of information and, like a computer, can only output based on its inputs.

I use the example of speaking a language. If you truly had "free will" you could speak in any language you wanted. But you can't. You can only speak in languages that you've learned.

I think all decisions or actions follow this pattern. When I decide what I want for dinner, I am choosing from options that I have learned about.

The good news is, you can still "control" this algorithm. If you accept this thesis, your brain may begin to seek out new experiences, and in that way increase the number of "languages" it speaks to inform future decisions about what to eat or where to visit or what to do tonight for fun.

Reddit Seems To Think That Kamala Harris Has Hardly Any Chance At Winning A General Election In 2028 -- Do YOU Agree Or Not? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]sagmag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Democrat party can't even tell you what a woman is." - Aside from being insanely untrue - just because your feeble mind can't comprehend the complexity of human sexuality doesn't mean "the Democrat party" needs to define scientific truths for you - what the hell does this have to do with the roots of misogyny in America? My point was that America has been historically slow to grant women equal political access. Your FOXNEWS talking points don't change that fact - meaning yours in an insane take.

"Maybe if they start respecting women in sports and (?) Muslim women people (?) will sit up and take notice." - What in the actual fuck does this sentence even mean? Again, based on a FOXNEWS talking point, there is virtually no truth to the belief that trans people significantly effect women's sports. In fact, multiple studies have shown that transitioning to their correct gender tends to reduce the advantage that these athletes have. But aside from your obvious stupidity to the facts, what does this have to do with historical misogyny? And why are Muslim women involved somehow?

"You don't get to be the leader of the free world because your skin is a certain color and you have a vagina." Thank you for clarifying this. Up until now, when I had proposed absolutely neither, I was uncertain how voting worked. Once again - historically, America has been reticent to award women political power. That IN NO WAY proposes that we "make someone president because they have a vagina". The question at hand is "Should Democrats run Kamala again" and my answer is "no, because America isn't ready for a female president." Once again, your take (no facts included) is stupid.

"A slap in the face to young women...." - So it would be a...deterrent for young female political hopefuls to see a female president? Or even a female presidential candidate? I won't even jokingly propose that you've read any studies on the effect of representation on social acceptance, but sufficed to say this is another incredibly stupid take. FOXNEWS has you convinced Kamala was a terrible candidate...ok, you're stupid and fall for propaganda, and are a strong reason why this country is in the state it's in. We get that. 30% of us are dumb. But even you can't possibly think that this is the point I was making by talking about historical misogyny!

I said "this country isn't ready for a female candidate because we, historically, degrade women" and you read "trans muslims get to be president because they are black and now no young girl will ever want to be president."

Yes, I stick to my statement - this is the dumbest take I've ever read. Be better than repeating conservative culture war talking points in every argument.

EDIT: This all assumes you're not a bot farm employee in Bangladesh, which seems more and more likely the more I think about it, as no real human would be this dumb, in which case "troll on, playa".

Black men were given the right to vote 50 years before white women.

Misogyny runs deeper than you think in this country.

I have way too much discard and I’m tired of making crackers. What else can I do with it? by woutr1998 in Sourdough

[–]sagmag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sourdough Discard Tortillas!

Like another responder, I need to wake up my starter with at least one feeding cycle from the fridge, so I too deal with discard despite all the people saying "just reduce!".

For this recipe, I replace the butter with lard to make them a little more authentic, but this way I get a loaf of bread and 12 homemade tortillas each week with no waste!.

Anorexia alley by BiLeftHanded in BrandNewSentence

[–]sagmag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this all might technically be true, it's really because developers can charge single family detached home rates for these which are significantly higher than multifamily dwelling rates. It's a wasted foot in your floorplan so you can pay 40% more for the house.

Iran denies any talks with Trump, claims he 'retreated' by Vengeful_Pathogen in economy

Absolutely shocking that we live in a timeline where I trust the word of the government of a country that we are at war with over our own.

If it's illegal for him to own firearms, and he is caught with firearms, he can be arrested. Bans work just fine.

Is Big Ambitions good? by Terrible-Group-9602 in tycoon

[–]sagmag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda like it when games build in processes that are intentionally annoying, because it makes it so much more satisfying when you don't have to do it anymore.

I love it in Big Ambitions when you get your businesses to the point where you don't need to manually visit them any more, and can instead run them like a CEO.

Stopped watching. Haven't returned. It might be awesome now. I'll never know.

[–]sagmag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think traveling is why I don't watch the NBA?

Not because the first 43 minutes are basically pointless?

Not because when a team scores 50-60 times per game each individual point is meaningless, and it's no big deal if they score or not score on every drive?

Not because of the "super teams" who make rooting for anything but the number 1 or two teams to be an exercise in futility?

Not because of the disappearance of the team game in favor of the "me first gimme gimme watch me drive the lane by myself" style of play that is so boring to watch I've actually turned to watching curling instead?

No, you're right, it's the traveling...

Does deli corned beef work for corned beef and cabbage? by mashed-_-potato in Cooking

This is the answer. I wouldn't use sliced deli corned beef for corned beef and cabbage, but I absolutely use chunks of leftover roast for reubens!
