The three least heard words in the universe will serve you well, and often catch people off guard - don’t be afraid to use them.
“I was wrong.”
Admit your mistakes when they happen, then when something goes wrong no one will accuse you.
that is super bad ass, drawing and art supplies in general have gotten absurdly expensive.
yeah NGL the double quotation has me super confused in their first line, I think this is a pretty good example of what I am talking about and I appreciate you bring it to the thread.
oh wow, the subject matter is not funny at all, but the joke is… Goddamn got me here.
I think they’re making a joke about people’s dads and grandpas being maga, but I think he missed the WWII uniform joke.
As a self proclaimed leftist who has been to many protests, I have never once heard anyone say the word Antifa except for my Maga boss when he thought Antifa was going to come and rob his house after the BLM protests…
LOL
considering my biggest loss from Reddit was Cannabis communities, I can relate to the brain damaged perspective.
(I do not think cannabis causes brain damage, but I have been known to say some dumb shit while stoned).
Sometimes people respond with contextually sensible words, but its almost like they didn’t actually read what I said, just the topic of what I said.
I have been chalking it up to international userbase and possible translation issues, but maybe I’m encountering some bots? I would say its about 1/10 of my responses is kind of… Off?
thank you, hence my suggestion lol
You squash incremental progress with no alternative offered.
I feel like we need a lot more of them, so they can be responsible to a reasonably sized group of people.
Right now they represent so many of us they can just pretend to ignore us and only listen to the rich donors.
If there are a thousand reps it gets a lot more expensive to rig elections and buy votes.
thanks for the info, unable to get there via work permits or ancestry, but would love to be a Canadian lol, one day maybe.
Did you have an ancestor to help with Canadian citizenship, or are you actively pursuing that through a career path?
this hits it for me, thank you, I came to the understanding above that I had been painted this exact picture when I was younger, but learned better in college.
I think I was a bit blind to the fact that some people still paint the absurd picture of feminists shown above, I forget how far we still have to go as a species sometimes.
totally agree and this experience does make sense to me, people paint feminists very broadly and stupidly - personal anecdote I remember being blown away in college that being a feminist could simply mean supporting the right for women to vote, have equal pay, ect.
I had heard terms like “feminazi” growing up, so the picture in my mind was more similar to the comic than I think I initially realized when reading it.
Ok this makes sense and is the direction I was heading in at the end there (glad I wasn’t just blindly groping), thank you!!
Yeah I don’t understand that either, but thank you for the explanation!
Ok so further simplifying, Straw man fallacy is per wikipedia, the refuting of an argument by refuting a different argument that is not part of the original context, and failing to recognize the distinction.
So here, people refute feminists by using the stawman of them wanting to blow up the earth / being extremists? I feel like something has to come back to training bras, like societal expectations of underwear for women is the argument, but then the straw man is radical feminism?
Goddamn I really am not getting the humor in this one. I’m not trying to be obtuse or overly PC, I really enjoy comics and just want to understand the humor because it seems really abstract to me.
I’m not sure what I said is conflicting, and I feel like your statement is trying to minimize the point I am making, but thats ok, I believe we will never come to agreement here because I firmly disagree with the disruption of privacy for the sake of advertisement.
You can say my feelings are meaningless, but as this gets more invasive people will seek ways to opt out, which I believe is meaningful, although you can say and feel whatever you want my friend :).
Thanks for the book rec, I’ll look it over!
Right? we need the follow up strip where the dude is now addicted to opioids and is pan handling for “gas money” lol.
definitely some layers to this advice for sure, situation and relationship matters!
