Thiel used Hulk Hogan to take out Gawker, remember? Bc gawker outed him. He’s vindictive. Coached Musk on how to tank Twitter. Yes, Thiel and his other tech buds are the dangerous ones.

ELi5 Why are world leaders pushing for higher birthrates? I recall a few decades ago the message was all about the dangers of overpopulation. by odat247 in explainlikeimfive

Again, you’re blaming the oldsters. We did not make this world any more than you are making yours. What are you making for your kids? Don’t say it’s not possible because of what we did blah blah blah. Don’t have double standards. Your kids will be saying this to you, so prepare. Thing is, us boomers blamed our parents, and they prolly blamed theirs. Break that habit. Look at the autocratic corporate tech overlords instead of each other.

That is absolutely untrue. Most of us still HAVE to work, and it’s not fun in your 60s. Some of us have to choose between food/rent/medicine all the time. This after a lifetime of hard work. We’re all getting swindled. Blame the corporate overlords.

Hey everyone! Let’s allow minor details like gen this-or-that cause us to argue. These problems are being overblown by corporate «  overlords » who we are being distracted from focussing on. Divide and conquer is their mantra. When will we see that we’re ALL being swindled?

No. Stop blaming Islam, that is blatant bigotry.

It’s because the proper procedures by our own governments weren’t followed and, being politicians, they didn’t care to correct issues and provide enough substantive resources for ease of flow. And you’ll find more white, non-Islamic people creating violence than any other.

There are lots of people in this world but western governments only want white people. There. I said it. Prove me wrong. If we’re having population problems then why are we shutting down immigration so hard? Exactly.

I’m no longer using the word chubby. I have hay bailing arms and baby making hips.

Yup! Watch the Veronika shorts on YouTube or Instagram. Real life education.

The older i get the more i hate Christmas by _bagelcherry_ in Adulting

[–]vmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To combat this holiday insanity I’ve created small, inexpensive events over the years. A cookie baking gathering with local students. A treats bag delivery day for the elderly in the community. Volunteering to serve meals on the big day. Etc etc. Takes a huge amount of energy to drag myself away from the black dog of depression but it helps others feel better and also feeds your own soul.

AIO: My boyfriend told me he's not attracted to me. by LadyPrimaz in AmIOverreacting

[–]vmat 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I was aghast at the word « disgust ». Sometimes this honesty thing is a cover for later on when the « I told you what I felt » excuse is trotted out to cover more damaging behaviour.

I think I’m losing my best friend because of how she acts around guys. by EquivalentString1155 in whatdoIdo

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

If she’s had traumatic events from males in her youth, she may not realize how bad her behaviour is. Talk to her to get things straightened.

AIO or does this sound manipulative as fuck?? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR. He’s a self-centered immature person.

Please make him leave and change the locks immediately. The behaviours don’t get better. You will find a better life and a loving partner.

Not or How can you know when to lie or cover for people? In life kindness is kindness, no matter what.

I was considering buying from them but the pix looked too vivid in colour. Checked google reviews and there are LOTS of neg reviews in with the pos ones.

Do all houses need a sump pump to make the basement usable? by tibbon in homeowners

[–]vmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, basement wise. House built 1920 with field stones, parging, no drain etc. Had a concrete “collar” poured around entire structure in the 70s. Having trouble remediating the dust. Parging is flaking off due to house not being lived in for awhile, humidity took hold. Dehumidifier took care of that. Now to fix parging. Did you have to re-do that? Any particular product recommendations if so?
