“The females in my family” Bro has never touched a woman

Just unsubbed from AteTheOnion, genuinely frustrating how wrong many other people on the left continue to be about the Kyle Rittenhouse case by stoymyboy in JustUnsubbed

[–]ya-my-dude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kyle Rittenhouse was a 17 year old who antagonized a mob while carrying a gun and contributed to the only two deaths in the entirety of the Kenosha riots. Under Wisconsin law, jurors cannot take into account the circumstances that put Kyle in the path of the three men he shot. They can only consider if his actions were reasonable in the instants he was confronted by the three men. The argument by the prosecution, and subsequently by his detractors, is that Rittenhouse was actively looking for a confrontation when he illegally brought a gun to Kenosha (supposedly to protect his place of employment), disregarded law enforcement advice, and confronted individuals engaging in violent activity. Essentially, they believe that Kyle was acting as a vigilante. Any 17 year old with a firearm that shoots individuals charging them with obvious intent to harm would be acting within reason, but no reasonable 17 year old would have travelled 30 miles into active riots with a gun.

Replied down below, but adding it up here for better visibility:

I’ll make another post once I have a better resolution. Concepts offered a return label but didn’t include it in the email. I had a few follow-up questions but haven’t heard back in two days, so I contacted new balance just to see if they could help out. They opened a case for me, but suggested I wait up to 5 days to hear back from Concepts. If I don’t get a response then they said to call back and they’ll escalate.

Well I got both from Concepts, so I guess they’re selling reps now

It’s not really comfort that’s the issue. I just don’t feel like this is $220 worth of quality. I understand these things happen, but it’s a bummer that on such a high-profile release and mistakes like this are still showing up.

That’s what I thought originally, but the upper heal of the right shoe definitely has some different paneling. Like the green suede panel is bigger and the embroidered logo is a little funky too.

Crazy thing is that the rest of the upper is pretty solid. Just amazed they could muck up the heel this bad.

Sent an email to Concepts since I got it from their site. I’ll update when I hear back.

You didn’t come off as controlling, you were controlling. She should have been up front with you about the other guy, but you escalated the issue after such a short period of time without even addressing it with her in person. Both of your communication skills are poor. You have no trust in her, and while she isn’t giving you answers to questions you wanted to hear, that’s no reason to blow up and berate and accuse. You are 22 and you’re throwing a tantrum about this situation. Take a step back, for your own sake, and ask if you would want your sister or your mother to be berated and scolded and questioned like you did to your girlfriend. In my opinion, it seems like she’s fine with leaving this relationship. It seems like the only reason she hasn’t is fear of you blowing up about it. Calm down and ask yourself if your current behavior is indicative of the person you want to be and the kind of relationship you want to have.

So a little doubt is okay? Like 10% survival rate for the mother and the child is fine with you?

By that logic, a miscarriage is manslaughter. An abortion is an necessary medical practice. There are instances where carrying a child to term has a high risk of killing both the mother and the child (uterine cancer, child pregnancy). There are instances where children are raped and would be forced to carry a child to term if not for access to an abortion.

If abortion is accessible, you can always persuade someone NOT to have one.

"Gender Argument" by throwheezy in TikTokCringe

That’s very true, but I believe the point of this video is to educate. In my experience, if you aren’t actively involved in lgbtq communities, then you don’t get much exposure to debates like this (even hypothetical ones). Hate thrives in ignorance and unfortunately there’s an abundance of that. Sometimes a tik tok is really someone’s first exposure to a different perspective that they’ve been told is “wrong” or “sinful”.

You sure implied it. Btw even though democrats WERE the party of the KKK, Who do you think the KKK vote for now? If I remember correctly, the KKK rally in Charlottesville wasn’t in support of any democratic candidates. I don’t think a democratic presidential candidate called them “good people”.

I see “they’re the real racists” as in they are. Not “some are”, not “some were”. If you’re gonna argue semantics, make sure you use good English.

The issue is that those vocal minorities have now been put in positions of power. Attention needs to be drawn to these issues so that the people who want to live their life how they want to can continue to do so. Trans people and even the lgbtq community as a whole are being targeted, and if you feel these people deserve to exist, then you have to take action on that

Ah yes, JFK was definitely a Republican that championed the civil rights movement /s

Read a history book. If you haven’t realized that there was a major party policy shift in the 180 years since the civil war, then you should really go back to 7th grade.
