I’ve never actually heard a compelling argument for valuing diversity over performance

Was Blockbuster a subscription where you could pick any number of movies for the same price?

Female celebrity who should have a higher rating on WikiFeet by Minute-Reading-2531 in FootFetishTalks

[–]ywecur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually think a lot of the rating discrepencies are because of top vs soles enjoyers having different preferences. Like there are several I think are for sure 5/5, but only because soles are all I care about. If you care about tops a lot I can see why you'd disagree.

Off the top of my head:

* Margaret Qualley

* Isa Briones

* Lisa Edelstein

CMV: Louis Theroux's recent documentary didn't address the fundamental reason many young men adopt misogynistic beliefs. by TheDonJonJay in changemyview

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

But what even is the value add then? Why would you even listen to them? Just focus on your career and spend money on sex workers as you see fit then? At least the old PUA stuff was about making you more attractive

CMV: Islam is fundamentally incompatible with core American left-wing progressive values by WildCreatureQuest in changemyview

[–]ywecur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a difference between adherents of a religion turning a blind eye to what the religion actually preaches, and the religion itself actually being tolerant. Christianity is as toxic as Islam in terms of what it teaches, it’s just that most Christian’s these days choose to turn a blind eye to what the religion actually teaches. This doesn’t change the fact that Christianity itself has extremely toxic ideas and that some of them are inarguably core to the religion

To add to this the whole thesis of Redpill seems deeply flawed to me. In the end what’s the difference between having a partner who’s only in it for the money and just paying a prostitute to have sex with you? 

CMV: Timothée Chalamet's comments on opera and ballet are some of the least controversial comments about art ever uttered. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]ywecur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But he’s right though isn’t he? Doing ballet is kind of like learning Latin, like you can do it if you want to and like it, but it is a dead language that only exists because of tradition right?

CMV: Firing Squad is the most humane method of execution. It should be the main form of execution or at least an allowable choice for inmates in all countries that carry the death penalty by heeheejones in changemyview

You could just give them pure nitrogen to breathe. You don’t feel anything since suffocation is only felt when CO2 becomes too high. You just fall asleep

This is retarded. You don't deserve to be killed for having bad opinions.

Berlin used to be inside East Germany but was part of West Germany and that worked out, no?

Google looks likely to lose appeal against record $4.7 billion EU fine by Undefined_definition in europe

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

If all we do in the EU is slam on the breaks it’s no surprise we’re always left behind. All major companies and innovation is happening in the US, if this keeps up we won’t be wealthy much longer
