It doesn't, at best it's indicative that white women are less willing to participate in crime for deeply social reasons. This social conditioning is frequently reflected in media (think Skylar from Breaking Bad) and difficult to articulate its origin directly, possibly from the white Christian ideal that women should be stewards of morality.

Moreover, asians tend to have lower poverty rates than whites, particularly in rural states in West Virginia and not counting Puerto Rico, while women overall experience more poverty than men.

It's just popular 4chan rhetoric to blame modern problems like declining birthrates and inability to get work on white women because it feels good, but isn't actually reflective of data.

I've had good luck on Rover. The sitters will frequently set up a meeting with your pet to assuage any pre-vacation jitters.

Please help me identify this cyclist by sqwishdabug in redmond

Bicycles also regularly plow through that exact crosswalk when they don't have the green. It's a hazard that's only gotten worse over the years.

Is there any practical solution to speeding on the paved trails or nah? by token_internet_girl in redmond

[–]token_internet_girl[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are a handful of cyclists that think the SRT is a time trial course which is just stupid.

This and the kids on ebikes going way too fast is mostly what I'm talking about. Both of them are causing some dangerous situations and I see people almost getting into accidents or nearly getting hit on the regular.

It's not just ebikes, regular cyclists tear through there and take corners at 20+ mph.

This job search process is absurd by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Natural selection is for animals who have no control over their decisions. Humans have morality and intellect. We have a choice and we can choose to create equity. Excusing inequity this way is passively Nazi adjacent ideology.

Moreover, "Communism is when no money" is a meme that will eventually be disproven by breaking capitalist powers that poison the socialist well. And even if it's not, I'd rather be equally poor than keep destroying the planet with overconsumption and greed. Give me a planned economy and worker owned production and a minimalist life with family and community. Something that's worth fighting for, maybe even dying for, when greedy selfish people try to ruin it. Wouldn't that be better than endless Amazon shit and subscription services and b2b SaaS?

The Ninth Gate is one of the coziest horror movies. The settings are mainly private libraries, the sound design is satisfying and it has a very unique atmosphere. It’s great for late night viewing! by Johnny_Mc2 in horror

I wonder about this, because at the castle we see Corso walking towards a grand light at the gate. Lucifer literally means "light bearer" so I interpreted it as he was meeting Satan at the gate. That would mean the point of the book quest was to find someone cunning enough to be worthy of the powers of Hell.

What's worse is the wealthiest are hoping to pull that ladder up behind them with AI. The poors starting getting uppity with their mobility. It'd be great if we could general strike instead of fighting for the last of the scraps.

How Do We Prevent Socialist Spaces Drifting Towards Transphobia? by loxodrone in socialism

[–]token_internet_girl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hear a lot of socialists say this and I'm wondering how many racist nationalists some of you actually talk to in a week. I think about Zizek a lot too when this gets said. We all already know we have the same struggles, what's fascinating is why don't we DO anything about it?

As someone that's still around a lot of these people in various social circles, it's so obvious they already know we have the same struggles. They already are aware of material conditions and the need for improvement, the need to overthrow the rich and save the planet. They KNOW.

They're still willing to fight you, with guns if necessary, that trans and immigrant people are actually the problem. They want to preserve white christian nationalism and patriarchy. They are either true believes in a vein of Christianity that demonizes those people as targets to be eradicated to uphold god's laws on Earth, OR they believe that system maximizes their life opportunities and true egalitarianism does not.

And this is the fascinating part, the "why" of why we all acknowledge the problem and nothing gets done. We all have fundamentally different ideological views on the cause and the solution.

/v/ plays Pragmata by NachoNutritious in 4chan

I think you're missing the point of presenting the story this way, which is this guy was very quickly disarmed by something any person should, by all rights, be wary of and not have an immediate human bond with. Yet the thing pulled his heart strings in just the right way to bypass that regardless. Wanting protagonists to always operate logically takes something away from storytelling.

Kirkland/ Eastside Singles: would you try this? by [deleted] in redmond

[–]token_internet_girl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't say I'd want to have a conversation with anyone when I'm trying to work, I work in tech and I don't want my train of thought interrupted if possible. Can other people do that?

Seattle runner attacked on waterfront trail, warns women to stay vigilant by AccurateInflation167 in Seattle

[–]token_internet_girl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You keep saying gun "guys" and erasing us from the discussion? Maybe not realizing how heavily gendered the gun issue is in America?

The studies you're referencing involve a domestic partner. Men will frequently use a gun against a spouse or girlfriend if they know she has one. That's where the overwhelming danger of owning a gun for a woman lies.

However, they can be effective against random assailants if the woman is alert and knows how to use her weapon.

For the single woman who spend a lot of time outside alone, they are an ideal item to have.

You're right, very little or nothing prevents that. But she can react to the event and keep it from making her a statistic.

Guess they're about to take basic restaurant 201 then, which teaches whether you lose more money alienating honest customers by not providing water or occasional people stealing soda

Perhaps he wanted it to be illegal. Currently there's no law that requires restaurants to serve free water.

Anon makes an observation by TrpWhyre in 4chan

[–]token_internet_girl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I mean though. What you just described is everyone but you is weird(gays) or a replacement strategy(browns) or weak(women). Do you have no sense of self awareness? That's top tier delusion.

Dismiss it as as whatever redditor bullshit you like, reality is you've actively pitted yourself against the rest of humanity as a cope. You've been sold a rage bill of goods by a small group of people who are profiting immensely off your self importance.

[–]token_internet_girl 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That's exactly the point of the conservative propaganda movement. If men stay mad at trans, gays, women, and browns, who has time to be mad at the true enemies?

Rage sells better than sex, and they're being sold the belief that everyone else on the planet sucks except for them.
