@shortstories I think you are a bit lost in the weeds by making this out to be a hypergamy issue. I doubt there was any sex going on between the two of them, but rather the "marriage" was just a way for them to fraud the immigration system.

I could be completely wrong about that, but I think that it is bad enough that they were committing fraud without allowing some "fact checkers" to "debunk" this by proclaiming it is totally false because no sex (apparently) took place.

@caekislove there is already a lacking of procreation going on, as birth rates indicate below replacement for countries like the USA. And this is due to feminism/"women's rights." Rolling back these policies would go towards solving the issue. But that will not come through a vote.

Not a fan of the GTA series, but I have seen plenty of reactions to GTA6 being awful for anyone who has been a fan of the series.

I find it funny that there is an enlistment incentive in the military in the form of early access to the game. Imagine risking your life in defense of Israel and your reward is that game. You just might not be able to be saved if you are willing to die even for a good video game.

It seems that my "the carrot is rotten" quote fits pretty well here.

@PNS when you are too stupid to see any perspective beyond your own, you cannot come up with a theory of mind with how someone else thinks. She already concludes that women like Hillary Clinton cannot be hated for valid reasons, so she just dismisses it as if any issue with her is just "you hate women."

If anything, men are upset by the amount of mental gymnastics women will do to not simply label the act of murder as evil.

@caekislove @mitchconner I have seen homosexuality-promoters claim that the story of the centurion with the sick servant had Jesus affirm a gay couple because "the centurion and the servant were totally a gay couple."

It is not just homosexual agenda pushing where they make up things too. Far too many progressive "Christians" lie about other stories in the Bible too. They may fool people who do not read the Bible, but any serious Christian should immediately recognize the lies.

@Aether even if those men were 100 percent telling her the truth, just think about whether or not she would even consider a first date with any of those men. Chances are that she already filtered them out as "undesirables" and the men she chooses are the ones that other women also want. Thus, those men have options and don't want to commit to a prostitute.

Every time someone brings up the topic of "Why do we call it homophobia? The people who are 'homophobic are not afraid of gay people, they just hate them" they think they have some sort of Gotcha towards the 'homophobes'.

The problem with this is that the 'homophobes' did not come up with this term or ever use it themselves. So really it is just lefties criticizing other lefties for their own made up terms that don't even make sense. When is the last time you heard a right winger use that word?

@NoDoxGregBrady @deprecated_ii Indeed. What are the odds a woman is going to be wanting a long term commitment from a man who does not have a college degree at least to her level? Far too many women think that having a degree puts them at a level above men who do not have the equivalent, so perhaps the few marriages that take place in these circumstances are when the woman has less of an ego due to "my degree."

It is like asking Lebron James how you can be a great basketball player like him, and he responds with "Eat your vegetables, get lots of exercise, get a good nights sleep every night and practice your basketball skills!"

Sure, this might help you to do better in your general health and possibly basketball, but lets not ignore the fact that genetics is a huge factor in his success, and a large part of why many people cannot simply copy what he does and be an NBA star.

A large part of the issue of Boomer-tier advice of "eat out less often and spend less on frivolous things" is not that it is bad advice. Spending less money on eating out and finding ways to save money can go a long way for your bottom line.

The problem is that Millennials and Zoomers can follow this advice to a T and still find themselves unable to afford a home where they live. The expensive home prices is the real issue, and it is a slap in the face to younger generations to ignore this fact

@sickburnbro having a group constantly being on the edge of voting left if you say something "the wrong way" just begs the question of whether or not those voters truly are on your side to begin with. The short answer is no, they are not.

I get why politicians pander and focus so much on tone and messaging, because they have to make sure that they still have enough of the women's vote due to universal suffrage. Wouldn't it be better if we didn't have to dance around issues all the time?

@Shadowman311 "She may not be a virgin" is one thing (still not preferable), but insisting that a woman being a single mom or a cheater is simply "you won't always get what you want" shows why many men are checking out of the dating market. It is tragic, as there are many men who do want a wife and kids, but the available choices are often a ticking timebomb of bad consequences and we have witnessed far too many divorces from other men for marriage to be a good sell for young men.

@SamTate she wants "Christians to stop making Jewish practice and belief look bad." You don't need Christians to do any work for you in that, you are doing it yourself by attempting to subvert them.

Also, one who does not belief Jesus is the Son of God should not be allowed anywhere near any Christian organizations. Reminds me of the r/Christianity having an atheist mod. But with Reddit, you can expect garbage. This is most certainly worse.

But it turns out, we could still do those "essential" things, so long as we followed a bunch of rules that really would not help considering how even people following the rules to the best of their ability would still not be realistically able to prevent spreading viruses in general.

Along with that, the multiple goalpost shifts for the lockdown timeframe made it clear the government was full of shit there too. The BLM riots being allowed just made it even more obvious.

Looking back on the Covid panic, there were earlier signs that our government was full of shit than the BLM riots after George Floyd. While not as overt as permitting the riots, the looser definition of "essential jobs" being put in place should have raised eyebrows far more.

Early on people were worried that they would need to scrape the bottom of their fridges and pantries, since people were thinking that they would not even be able to get to grocery stores with how dangerous it was.
