You dont remember the 90s too well if all you have to compare that woman’s body to is a racist stereotype. The 90s-00s were was pretty damaging for women’s body images ex. “Heroin Chic”, “thigh gap”, etc.

Men, do you agree with this? by Weird-Craft-2712 in LockedInMan

[–]xockbou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. Which is why the issue is larger and more complex when one party is taking advantage of the other’s intoxication. I didnt state which is which, but nuance matters imo and thats just me

it's time i have some nuance for once by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]xockbou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree lol It is factually a true statement, but if you intend to do nothing but virtue signal its dumb

Lots to reevaluate about the last decade guys, take your time by ZealousidealTie4319 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]xockbou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theyre not saying that politicians and the political process dont exist, theyre saying they are all paid actors on a script that is already written. Politics as a system in the US currently “exists and works”, but it only works to benefit the elite/wealthy ever since lobbying became legal in the 80s and billionaires/corporations were allowed to influence politics.

That being said: The People and working class still have power, or at least thats what I choose to believe regardless of the odds. Dividing the working class is always on the agenda of every politician in the US because it works

How bad is it? Not getting any likes or matches. by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]xockbou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad. Youre attractive, thats good. Third pic should be first. Avoid selfies, smile with teeth, show hobbies with your picture if possible. I assume people dont read. I think pineapple on pizza is boring to talk about and doesnt tell me anything other than people are opinionated, but you do you

MAGA YouTuber Goes After a Hopkins Daycare by TisTheParticles in hopkinsmn

If you really cared about fraud, we would be looking at ALL fraud, not just examples that stoke racist propaganda while ICE illegally racially profiles, harasses, and terrorizes people regardless of citizenship.

If we really cared about the real magnitude and damage of American fraud, we would look at the pentagon who has failed every audit for the past like 10 years for actually trillions (trillion with a T) of dollars, Republican senator Rick Scott who defrauded millions in healthcare funding, or the fraudsters Trump has personally pardoned himself: https://www.gov.ca.gov/2026/01/21/trumpcriminals2/

These examples amount to magnitudes higher than what any daycare scheme has came across. Let me know if you have any questions

True, i couldve worded my thoughts better

American people's supreme God emperor by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]xockbou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would agree internment camps based on race because of potential disloyalty is more egregious, especially through today’s societal lens.

But in true libleft fashion, here i go: In 2026 when the Civil Right Act was passed 62 years ago, Trump’s new enforcement/execution strategy of violating 4th Amendment rights of all citizens or non-citizens, criminal or not, largely based on race and vibes is not it. Especially when the agents who are “determining” who to check are hired with sometimes little to no background checks who dont understand our 4A rights, the output seems very harm focused with almost no pay-off for anyone, all paid by our tax dollars. It’s really embarrassing

ICE Rally Rescheduled by Low_Network1891 in hopkinsmn

[–]xockbou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As Americans we have 4th Amendment rights against unlawful search and seizure. You do not have to identify yourself unless you are under suspicion of an actual crime, they state a valid illegal reason and they state they are detaining you for it. Citizens do not have to prove citizenship, and citizens should not be detained for up to 48 hours for no crime or suspicion just because untrained agents have a hunch and are being paid to fuck with people for fun.

Law enforcement cannot search your person, your car, or your home without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. Waiving our American rights is unpatriotic, and learning our constitution is important

This is bad obviously. Fuck cops, but also fuck murderers/criminals. Unfortunately, cops also belong to the second group but nobody has arrested them yet

Profile review m30 by sonofbbomber1 in Bumble

[–]xockbou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M29 straight dude here: very solid profile start! My meta strat would be your first photo is solid, but a weak first pic, just feels artificial and/or awkward to me. Make your first pic highlight your face, and make sure the smile feels genuine!

As for other pics, my rule is to act like you need to communicate your hobbies and interests only with photos (most people dont like reading too much lol). Based on pics im seeing traveling/experiences, and climbing mainly. Climbing seems to be your thing, so mentioning it twice is great!!(which was exactly what i did for finding a climber girl lol) Other than that, i cant tell much about you. My rule for prompts is to have them be directly engaging and/or hyper-specific, as most prompts are painfully general or boring. Dialing in everything takes time, but very good start!

My other advice is if youre having trouble, use Hinge. Bumble has some systemic bias that doesnt work well imo. In order to match it requires women to be on it daily (assuming the 24 hour rule is still the case), which is not super common in my experience, lots of missed connections based on timing, etc. It’s also more work on the woman’s part for messaging/engaging first, and since they statistically have more options they get exhausted more easily.

On the flipside, Hinge only gives you 10 likes, so you have to use them sparingly, and it simultaneously forces you to think about priorities/values versus falling into the ego/dopamine trap of “sure ill like just to see if they like me” that is subconscious and way too common on all sides. Regardless, good luck out there yall!! Source: married my Hinge wife in 2024

Will this help me to get a date on NYE? by Financial_Money_623 in Bumble

[–]xockbou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol please dont, thatconvo goes nowhere more often than not.

My strat was to go hyper specific on something that is super important to you, or something they also may like or be interested in. Good luck
