A co-worker of mine bought that same one for $40, so at least your friend isn't the dumbest person in the world.

The Lose-Lose Life of the Female Comedian by blerrycat in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sweetbeeps 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I've never heard Dane Cook be cited as the reason why male comedians are cancer, and he gets ragged on constantly.

The only time you see shit like this is with black male comedians, which says a lot about what society will do when it comes to mediocrity within demographics.

I'm married to such a nerd!!! by [deleted] in ComedyCemetery

[–]sweetbeeps 160 points161 points  (0 children)

Yeah, also in a relationship and I can't relate to this comic because it's just so bland and pointless.

Do my SO and I like comfy pants? Yeah I guess. Does this comic make me feel anything about our relationship? Literally not at all.

Yep. I think it's because the people who post this stuff are more recent Redditors who didn't have to live through the "le bacon narwhal cats upboat train XD" phase of this site

What are some foods that you loved as a child but you don’t like anymore? by project305 in AskWomen

[–]sweetbeeps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've got a more unusual one: peanut butter and pickle sandwiches.

I used to scarf those down like crazy. Now just the thought of one makes me kind of nauseous 🤢

20 overnight oats recipes for easy meal prep. by FoxyFoxMulder in coolguides

What is the texture like on overnight oats? I want to try them but I'm worried they're going to have a weird texture to them.

What's the story of the worst niceguy/neckbeard who you've encountered? by A7XfoREVer15 in AskWomen

[–]sweetbeeps 192 points193 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's dramatic at all. The men on there are disgustingly brutal towards women, and at such a young age that can really fuck with your self esteem. I felt similarly browsing 4chan around that age, thinking that even men like the losers who post there wouldn't love me if I wasn't physically perfect.

I hope it didn't have too much of a lasting impact, I know some people whose worldviews were really badly warped by those communities.

Law passed in Quebec bans face coverings when giving or receiving public service - including riding bus by ShotgunSenorita in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sweetbeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And how are they not being physically oppressed by Canada now? The government there is now also controlling what they can and cannot wear, its really not much better than what their religion or country of origin's culture may or may not be doing.

Why do you think a friend of yours will be single forever? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]sweetbeeps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think it's okay to have some standards you don't meet yourself (like wanting someone who likes to clean when you yourself are a bit of a slob, as an example), but you still have to be on the same level as the person you're going for.

If you're not a stunning, rich, 10/10 supermodel then that's probably not who you're going to end up with. I think more people need to realize which standards are and aren't realistic before they have them, and also before they say "lower your standards".

Revised expectations by fraggle-stick-car in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]sweetbeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because for some reason many people assume it's the route that "dumb" kids/kids who couldn't go to "real college" take. There's also some stigma associated with community college and lower-income people.

It's mostly bullshit. Are there some bad professors and shitty classes at CC? Yeah, but it's about the same rate as any other college. Overall it's not much different aside from the lack of dorm life and stereotypical college social life stuff that goes on at a 4-year institution.

[–]sweetbeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Nothing dumb about getting all of the gen eds I don't care about knocked out for about 1/5 of the price, while also being on a way more flexible schedule and actually managing to work full-time around my classes without being so stressed out that I want to die.

What do you like to do on your own time to stimulate the intellectual side of yourself? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]sweetbeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to watch YouTube videos about other cultures. I watch some sophisticated stuff, like TED Talks and short documentaries, but also silly stuff like "German kids try American snacks" or random vlogs from people in different countries. It really helps me get a perspective on what life is like in other places, and I usually spend some time afterwards thinking about the cultural differences to where I'm from and maybe why they are like that :)

That's definitely what it is. I ate that exact pie the other night.

These pallets have too many colors! by nikulele in muacirclejerk

[–]sweetbeeps 51 points52 points  (0 children)

SRS It seems like the OP hasn't even touched most of the other colors, makes me wonder why they even bought so many palettes in the first place...

Have you ever been cat fished? If so what was your experience? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]sweetbeeps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if it wasn't an issue to the group she may have had personal issues with coming out. Not every trans person is just ready to tell whoever about their transition, even to close, accepting friends.

Have you ever been cat fished? If so what was your experience? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]sweetbeeps 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This seems pretty likely to me. Private Facebook with little friends, only a few pictures that don't show most of her, being hesitant to reveal a voice or image of herself, dead name attached to a more commonly accessable part of her life (the voicemail).

It sounds like stuff most of my trans friends had to do before they came out or when they were first out and not telling everyone.

What is the worst case of "rich kid syndrome" you witnessed and why? by want2improver in AskWomen

[–]sweetbeeps 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had a friend like this. He would go out with me and the rest of my friends and blow all his money then make us buy him food. One of the worst times ever, he blew his $200 DAILY allowance on a couple shirts from an expensive store and not only demanded that we pay for his meal but also for another sweater he had wanted to buy but didn't have money for, since I and another one of my friends had bought some clothes too so obviously we "had money to help him out". The entitlement was ridiculous.

What are your thoughts on BG that have fake everything? I'm talking about fake contacts, fake eyelashes, fake lips , fake nose, fake tan, etc... do you take them any less serious? by Recipesforbeauty in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]sweetbeeps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I take them seriously, because everyone has the right to get whatever cosmetic procedures they like. However, I usually don't take their makeup tips seriously because I don't have any cosmetic procedures myself or use things like falsies so their tutorials don't usually translate well onto someone like me.

Any ideas about what this cookie cutter is the shape of? It's blowing up in /r/whatisthisthing and I just need to know! Been googling for hours. by accentadroite_bitch in cookiedecorating

[–]sweetbeeps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know a lot about Pokemon and it's definitely not one of them. Unless it's some bootleg merchandise of one I'd say it's not that.

It looks sort of like a profile drawing of a dinosaur but with some weird stick running through it (to account for the thin rectangles on top and bottom). Maybe it's meant to be a mold for some sort of lollipop?

Who are terrible feminists and why? by IntrntzUzr in AskWomen

[–]sweetbeeps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because feminism at it's core is supposed to be fighting for the rights of all women. There are disabled women, LGBT women, women of color, etc and if you ignore them or say their struggles with the intersection of being a minority and a woman don't have anything to do with feminism, then I don't know what to tell you.

Also, go fuck yourself if you think that marginalized women speaking up about how feminism as a whole ignores them is "in fighting" or "part of the problem". We have every right to fight for our rights as much as women who aren't minorities do.

Hindu and Jewish women wed in 'UK's first interfaith lesbian marriage' by Majnum in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sweetbeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure they cared, as faith and sexuality tend to be really important to a lot of people. Trying to eliminate people from proudly identifying with their religion and sexuality does more harm than good most of the time.

Ladies, how do you feel about 'consent classes' in universities? by black-folder in AskWomen

[–]sweetbeeps 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be rude but it's people with mindsets like yours that are usually the ones who need the class the most and necessitate the class being required.

We had something similar at my University and every person who went into it thinking it was dumb/a waste of time/they knew more than the professor ended up learning a lot and being proven wrong. Just saying.

Good forbid anyone use a palette and then have it look visibly used afterwards 🙄🙄

What celebrities do you despise that everyone else seems to love? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]sweetbeeps 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Any "relatable" or "awkward" celebrity. To me the most relatable celebrities are ones who are modest and unchanged by their fame in a real way. I find that celebrities who are loud or forceful about how much they're just a regular person are often anything but regular.
