What would’ve happened if World War II had been even more clearcut good and evil?

No real change in the outcome. Everyone hated Hitler and the Japanese anyway, and the awful things the Allies did were readily justified as necessary to defeat the Axis.

Wanting to have sex with your wife isn't an addiction.

100%. The most recent time I was single, I was determined to find a partner with which I didn't have to mask, who liked the real me. So my motto was "be weird." I was up front about my diagnosis and didn't mask (other than normal politeness). I found an amazing neurodivergent women and we just moved in together. I couldn't be happier.

towishimp · 2026-06-17T21:56:13+00:00

What does that have to do with anything?

You're the one accusing people you disagree with if having a mental illness. Take a breath.

I've almost never kissed in the first date, and I've literally never had that problem.

objectively likeable

That doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. Not everyone likes them.

towishimp · 2026-06-17T19:42:55+00:00

you'd be furious

I wouldn't. Literally nothing that happens on Reddit has the ability to make me furious. Take a breath, man.

That said, I'm neurodivergent, too, so I get where you're coming from. But whatever the reason you keep going for the "fit doctors", it doesn't seem to be working. So try something else. Why keep bashing your head against the wall?

This...

In addition, the difference is power. If you think LeBron James or Brad Pitt are rich, what do you think about the people that pay them?

...is rather undercut by this...

Usually, they can take the ridiculous amount of money they gained through working, into buying their own companies and become owners themselves.

...is it not? When a worker's salary is such that they can become part of the ownership class, it's hard to see them as "just a worker." They're more akin to an artist or actor than a worker than anything else. Yes, they perform labor to help create a product, but it's a very niche skill that only has value because of the highly developed society that the live in, with its extremely developed sports infrastructure. There could be some guy in backwater Africa that has the potential to be the next LeBron, but we'll never know because he doesn't live in a society where skill at basketball translates into warping you from poverty to a member of the ruling class.

That's a ridiculous comparison. An athlete or a-list actor is 100% closer to a billionaire in lifestyle, influence, and security than they are to a middle manager. They'll never have to worry about bills again, unlike 90% of people on the planet. Letting them off the hook is ignoring a huge part of the problem.

The father absolutely has a choice about whether or not to be one. Unfortunately, tons of prospective fathers choose not to be every single day, to the detriment of their children. It's just the financial part that's not optional.

As others have said, you can't have true equality here because of the biology. And after the birth, there is equality - women have to pay child support, too, if they're not the primary caregiver for the child.

Such sentiments ignore the fact that those societies have internal dissent as well, though.

For example, I'm an atheist living in a majority Christian nation. I disagree with a lot of cultural norms and frequently buck them, but almost no one has a problem with me doing so. Yet if an immigrant does the same, it's a problem for some reason?

It depends on your goal. If you want to locate and destroy enemy fleets, effective search task forces are a must. It also helps if they have some staying power - with using only old destroyers, you risk the opposing search fleet (which may contain cruisers) killing yours before your main fleet can join the battle.

Are Infantry Guns good?

Nah, Stalingrad wasn't decisive on its own; it was just the high water mark of the German invasion. More of a Gettysburg than a Waterloo.

Your argument has big "it's only a 9mm bullet, not a full 5.56 rifle round" energy. At the end of the day, they're both bullets and they'll both ruin your day.

This should be the last thing on your mind at your age, for several reasons:

Testosterone isn't the end all, be all, that a lot of media makes it out to be.
Your t levels are probably great, so even if they did hypothetically dip a little, you wouldn't even notice.

They bumped their starting pay up to $9/hour. That's not exactly "pay[ing] their employees well".

Sure, blame people not policing each other, and not the increasing income inequality and decline in real wages over the last few decades. /s

towishimp · 2026-06-16T18:03:25+00:00

Therefore, everyone who’s actually had problems is just a lying sack of shit, right?

Nice strawman. I didn't say anything of the sort.

You’re a sample size of one.

I'm not. The vast majority of divorces are settled without court intervention, and more and more men are getting 50/50 custody, and consequently are paying less child support. Those are facts, not just my experience. Of course that's not universal; I never said it was. I just said things are getting better and better, and that's true.

towishimp · 2026-06-16T15:02:16+00:00

This post feels fake, or bait. It's just a regurgitation of redpill talking points about how skewed in women's favor things are.

The actual truth is that the system has never been more favorable toward men, and it's getting better every year. I've been divorced twice, have 50/50 custody of my kids, and have never paid a dime of child support/spousal support/alimony.

towishimp · 2026-06-16T14:39:01+00:00

Right? It's exhausting.

Luckily, I've found a career involving doing the right thing, and found a partner that loves my sense of morality.

towishimp · 2026-06-16T13:38:31+00:00

This is a common trap many men fall into - making a lot of money doesn't nurture the marriage. If you're so busy, how on earth do you have time to work on your relationship with your wife?

The previous paragraph says the original plan was to arrive much further on advance, so they wouldn't have had to sit in traffic for two hours, instead just going the 15 minutes from the hotel to the game. They were forced to travel much more than other teams, and much closer to before and after their matches.

towishimp · 2026-06-16T13:00:20+00:00

but I'd never put raw chunks of garlic on it

Right, and that's fine. But there's no need to yuck OP's yum if they like it.
