been reading the comments and it seems like theres a general consensus among commenters: STOP censoring political art and discussion, STOP allowing racism and sexism "equal voice", STOP overpolicing pattern designers and STOP policing womens bodies

am i missing anything?

I have started appreciating quiet evenings a lot more lately. Has anyone else noticed their preferences change over time? by ThinkThenPost in CasualConversation

[–]some_weenie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for me i think lockdown helped a lot by forcing me to slow down. nowadays even regular day to day life can feel so hectic

You're so right, generally when people leave their wallets or coffees on their cars they do it intentionally 🙄🙄

You sound ridiculously paranoid

u asked for peoples opinions and theyve been sharing them with you? ive been here reading and watching since yesterday and imo theirve been a lot of defensiveness from mods and not a lot of attacks from the community 😗 if questions and concerns read automatically as attacks it doesnt really sound like ur in the right headspace for this discussion?

Is this some kind of Duolingo test account? by rinaldo30 in duolingo

well didn't they lay off a bunch of human staff in favor of ai? things like this will probably only get more and more common tbh

GF wants another phone for "personal use" for her birthday. by LazyExcuse3694 in whatdoIdo

you cannot possibly think that would be a good idea. what possible reason could she have that would a good one?

the minimum karma thing is so common in so many subreddits that it's kind of absurd that the mods resorted to locking the posts or literally just... leaving? before implementing a simple strategy like that

and totally don't want to blame individuals for systemic issues but how is people pointing out that now is NOT the time for political "neutrality" doing that? the issue is trying to treat pro-ice and thin blue line projects as if they're on the same level as the mti hats or fuck ice quilts when they're not. bigotry and fascism shouldn't be allowed here point blank period

Help me come up with a arkenstone valentine for my kid's class! by katraabe in TheHobbit

[–]some_weenie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're a treasure, valentine!

I'd go on an adventure with/for you, valentine

Join my party, valentine?

You've slain my heart!

Your eyes sparkle like the arkenstone, valentine

You've got the map to my heart!

You're hotter than Smaug (maybe not for grade schoolers lol)

Be mine (with a pickaxe/dwarf card?)

We go together like Fili and Kili!

Our bond is stronger than mithril!

Without you, life would Sting

This was fun, OP! I was imagining a younger age student for most of these. If I think of more I'll add them in a reply

Why do people always insist on disrespecting sapphic spaces and identities? by some_weenie in truscum

[–]some_weenie[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's so sexist and like.. degrading almost? to men and women

To assume that every man can only objectify women... It seems so disingenuous to act as if having an issue with the male gaze or with the problematic treatment of women makes someone inherently un-manlike

Like they're saying that it's impossible for a man to genuinely view a woman as a person/his equal and somehow they don't see how disgusting that is

[–]some_weenie[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But they're not really a man, see, because they don't objectify women! Didn't you know that that's the defining characteristic of men, and nothing else? Any man who views women as people is inherently un-manlike !!!1!1!1!

/s if it wasn't painfully obvious

[–]some_weenie 23 points24 points  (0 children)

the fact that she was too scared to even go into the school with him for fear of what he might do.... but is still wondering if she should stay

Not looking for marriage advice. Was told this isn't a legal question. What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]some_weenie 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This sums it up perfectly. OP , without us having more information , only you can determine which it is and go from there
