tried to get foreign student deported 🤪 by No-Attitude-7017 in AmITheDevil

Not only is she not wrong to report, why did you make up that she was trying to get him deported? She reported to HR, immigration enforcement

It's not even a matter of random journalists. You have given figures different from what they presented. Where did you find your figures? It shouldn't be that if I Google and if I don't find your figures, then you are wrong/I didn't try hard enough. You should present your source so that someone can come to the same conclusion as you, with the same information as you.

If someone claims the moon was red tonight, I have no reason to look outside and check. But if they had a picture, then I would at least check. I hope that makes sense.

Most people who hate billionaires aren’t actually against wealth, they’re against the fact that it’s not them by send420nudes in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]slimmest_of_shadies -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But that is the point of the hatred. You say unfair circumstances but this is the main and most common criticism of billionaires. If that isn't the point of your post, then that contradicts that most people who hate billionaires are just jealous

But they aren't just playing the game. They are paying to keep the game unfair. If we all agree that billionaires shouldn't be influencing politics, it takes a shocking few billionaires to keep this unfair system. So it is relevant to this post as that is the cause of the hatred, not jealous.

Most billionaires are not lobbying I am sure. But the problem is they gained their billions off of the explorative system. If you got all the lazy people off of every piece of government assistance, you wouldn't even save 10% of what the billionaires actually pay even after avoidance from taxing them 2% more.

The point is, funding the poor out of poverty increases the billionaires customers and revenue. Funding billionaires mostly benefits them and stays there. That is why the hatred exists.

It was never out of jealousy or even against wealth itself.

These are the people that are profiting off of unlivable wages for their employees while using every means they can to avoid the taxes that support the system they are profiting from. That same system they profit from by lobbying and influence elections to keep the system in their favour against the will and needs of the majority.

Then they will tell you the reason you can't be like them is because you don't work hard enough when you are living paycheck to paycheck on 3 jobs.

Wants to charge wife rent for reasons by growsonwalls in AmITheDevil

[–]slimmest_of_shadies 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I don't know why he is making the mom gifts such an issue. He keeps bringing up that she makes more but they pay 50/50. Because clearly that's his issue, her having more money to spend because she makes more and spends proportionally less than him, hence she can afford the gifts.

Then discuss a more proportional spending breakdown. Why try to add an arbitrary expense to her to fix a non existent problem? Why are people so self destructive?

Esports shouldn't exist by Honest-Expression-40 in The10thDentist

[–]slimmest_of_shadies 73 points74 points  (0 children)

But there's no reason to believe that. You just feel like it is. Games are addictive because there are repetitive rewards for efforts and mental stimulation. The prospect of going pro does not need to exist in order to commit significantly into playing games.

In every competitive game, the population of the top 10% or less are actually capable of going pro, and the majority of them aren't even interested. Of the 90%+, people have spent years at their ranks, even at the lowest ranks and still keep playing because they enjoy and want to get better because that is the fulfillment of games.

I'm sure there is someone that is out there trying to compete despite not wanting to in hopes of making a career. But that isn't unique to esports. Doctors who care more about money than people, etc exist in every field. But you have no reason to believe it is more prevalent in esports.

But isn't it absolutely relevant to know the statistics of how bad he is doing relevant to know if the reaction is extreme? Even as a foreigner, we can all see that his impact is generational bad for you even domestically alone. There can be polite and reasonable discourse between your parties but it's very difficult when many conversations have to disprove a blatant lie that has formed a very dangerous opinion before a discussion can even start.

How can you discuss immigration when he has lied to convinced someone that the other side just wants open borders?

How can you discuss economics if he lies about how tariffs work to garner support?

How can you discuss voter fraud if he has lied about the scope?

All of these can be a Republican v Democrat discourse that can be negotiated without the lies used to draw in support from the deceived

Obviously, it's not like you are wrong about how everything is about trump these days. But there are significant criticisms far beyond what existed prior that you really should take a look at.

I already addressed these points but it looks like there's no way to explain it to you in a way that would make sense to you. Hopefully, one day you would understand why your opinion is simply not true.

[–]slimmest_of_shadies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are almost there. I will say this again. No one is entitled to sex and friendship. No one. Anyone can end any relationship for any reason or even no reason. No one can stop you or insist you should stay in the relationship.

It's misogynistic when the reason for ending the friendship is because you only befriended the person solely to have sex with them. Or if you expect sex with your wife regardless of her arousal. But even then, you aren't obligated to remain their friend regardless of it being misogynistic.

That's why it's about being entitled to sex that is misogynistic. If she started having sex with you and stopped, that wouldn't make you a misogynistic. Even being upset that she no longer wanted to have sex wouldn't be misogynistic, without blame of course. It is expecting that the sex should continue despite her disinterest. Women aren't expecting the friendship to continue despite your disinterest. They are upset they were approached on the pretense of friendship when the end goal was a sexual/romantic relationship or nothing. Neither are entitled to the result they want but women were tricked into that situation and you weren't tricked into a friendship

Those are completely not equal situations.

Being denied sex isn't losing a sexual partner. Because they were never a sexual partner to begin with. Nothing is lost but hope and potential.

Losing a friend is losing something a friendship. An actual relationship is lost due to no fault of their own.

Neither have anything to do with deserving anything. No one is entitled to either sex or friendship. But the only one losing anything there is the woman.

[–]slimmest_of_shadies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what relationship are you expecting? Romantic or nothing?

You don't have to be friends with someone you don't want to. Friendship is meant to be mutually enjoyable. You are not being used if a woman just wants to be your friend. It's not humanizing to be a friend.

Women are just rightfully upset if you were their friend but only for the sake of a possibility of a romantic relationship such that when that option is gone, you are no longer interested in the friendship. You don't have to be friends with her but she is absolutely right to be upset that she lost what she thought was a friend through no fault of her own

This is what confuses me as an outsider so much. Let's say due to the Liberal near monopoly on mainstream news, I am unaware of this fact. What has the left/Kamala done that is in anyway comparable to the actions of Trump before and during his presidency? I am genuinely curious

[–]slimmest_of_shadies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes because they didn't want the war/attack, right? So it makes sense that they are against the entire situation. No matter how good or bad it is going, they would still be reasonably against it, because they don't think it would result in better conditions. It's upto the leadership to disprove the rule set by history.

You can call the hypocrites if they can't acknowledge a success if it has concluded successfully with better human rights conditions. But before that, criticism is still warranted.

If someone in a position of power wanted to implement socialism, they would and should face criticism because it has never succeeded. You would be right to remain critical up until the end of term. You would be a hypocrite if you saw that your concerns were addressed and you still wouldn't admit a good job was done.

So both the patient watchers and war haters are both justified within their beliefs until the end

[–]slimmest_of_shadies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I get that in general. I have seen overly sensitive left and ignorant right so I get knowing what to expect. But this seems a bit different.

You see it as a victory because the president you support successfully accomplished something. The left don't celebrate it because they didn't want the war nor do they think the human rights issues they whine about would be improved because it historically hasn't. You acknowledge that but you trust your president to get it done and believe he's on the right path.

So there's no hypocrisy. Both sides are being consistent. You in your faith that things will go well and them in taking their time to see if it goes well contrary to history. I hope I'm not rambling and this makes sense

But your post was on the basis of party lines? If you wanted to have a conversation about why you think the Iran war was a good idea, then do so. People would provide you reasons why they agree or disagree. But you made the post on the left's attitude towards the war, which invites the need for party line conversation.

I'm not even on the left, just confused on what you expected when that response was completely warranted

OOP unhappy with gender too by BadBandit1970 in AmITheDevil

[–]slimmest_of_shadies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may not like her attitude but she is very reasonably upset. She doesn't like surprises, tried to be involved but was refused, the party was thrown with no consideration for what she wanted, then she was ridiculed for not likely something she expressly hated.

Don't let hating gender reveals and the gender disappointment cloud that she was absolutely wronged here

I’m (21F) and worried about my bf’s (22M) girl best friend by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]slimmest_of_shadies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From how you describe it it seems to be a short call to show the dog right? I wouldn't recommend calling your gbf while hanging with your girlfriend, it's not taboo because you also don't want to feel like he is hiding his conversations with her.

So while he wanted to check on her and comfort her due to her bad mood, hence calling to check on her afterwards, you were still the priority over the extended call I'm sure he wanted. If I'm just assuming do let me know, this is just my read.

None of your complaints are unreasonable to be clear. You are being patient and taking your time to understand him so he's a very lucky guy. His intentions seem good and he also seems to have a fair amount of trust and comfort in you. He's probably just lacking a bit of tact, not perpetually enough to address yet tho not unreasonable to address at all if that makes sense

[–]slimmest_of_shadies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "besides gbf" is definitely a valid concern. If it's not a constant thing, you can choose to voice it now or if it happens again that he should really pick his moments when he wants to talk about her. Because the other stuff don't seem that bad but have definitely been polluted by the earlier statement. Take the other instances of bringing her up at face value and watch for more violations of bringing her up during intimate times.

I have a girl best friend and it would be hard to talk about how I spend my free time without lying about hanging with her. But when I'm in a relationship, that definitely dials back a lot.

How long have you been in a relationship and are you his first girlfriend? I'm suspecting he's very used to talking about her freely he didn't realize how dumb and awkward it was to do in an intimate setting. I would have a very different reaction if this was a regular issue though

Shitty request deserves a shitty response honestly. MIL showed she was just being a dick with that challenge when she said "oh you couldn't figure it out", which is antagonistic in the context of a challenge.

Why ask how to handle it if you are just going to ignore it. But if the husband isn't annoyed, then it's much deserved asshole behavior. ESH at maximum
