    Social standards are not the benign excuse you think they are. If someone ever hits you, you hit back. If that’s how they think you learn, then make them learn that getting hit hurts, and show them why they shouldn’t be hitting.

    Letting someone hit you just cause “it’s normal” is called Stockholm Syndrome, and is objectively worse than being the one that’s doing the hurting, because it teaches other people that hurting others is okay.

    If you saw an adult, hitting and dragging away a child who’s fighting back with all their might at a grocery store, there’s 2 things that could be happening. A.) just a parent “disciplining” their kid, or B.) a literal kidnapping is taking place.

    In your (clearly more informed) mind, it would always be scenario A, and you wouldn’t even think twice about the possibility of scenario B, “because that’s the social norm,” according to you.

    I’ll say it one more time: IF YOU THROW HANDS, EXPECT TO CATCH HANDS, NO MATTER YOUR AGE, GENDER, OR FUCK ALL.

    Who said anything about a nursing home? I thought we were talking about throwing punches? Cause as I said, as each party ages, they both learn who hits harder.

    Any old person that acts like they can’t catch hands, is literally asking for some to be thrown.

    If you’re 20yo still taking abuse from someone three times your age, you’re not fighting hard enough for your own rights.

    I hope to any and every god that may exist, that kid gets close enough to Erdogan one day, to return the favor tenfold.

    I originally upvoted dark whatever instead of you. Coming back 2hr later I changed my votes because (metaphorically) as you said, it’s not black or white, it’s shades of gray.

    In my youth I often thought of myself as an introvert, because, “I just don’t like people.” As I’ve grown I’ve come to realize that I’m perfectly sociable in the right crowd.

    To that end, I’ve come to see myself as an introverted extrovert, it vice versa, because idk proper terms. But I’m much more talkative (for better or worse) around people I identify with, whereas if I were alone around a group of new people, I shut down and retreat to my safe corner.

    People are very multifaceted individually and it’s such a strange oxymoron that “there is no true ideal” is an objective fact, no matter how much we wish it to be so.

    Unfortunately, until people can (on whole) see both positives and negatives per individual person/situation, and not just the dogma attached to each piece, we may never overcome this roadblock…

    I know this is a meme, but considering he is a VP nominee, I’m sure the FBI is gonna be keeping tabs on him, and unfortunately mailing someone used kitty litter is an act that falls legally under “domestic bioterorism”. It’s the same reason that if (you can prove) a worker spit in your food at a restaurant, they get a cushy room in a federal prison.

    I support every bit of sentiment from this post, but don’t make yourself a felon (both adding to the workforce of legal slavery, and denying yourself the chance to vote against this turd).



  • But you have to agree that a pizza shouldn’t be sitting out for 50 minutes before it leaves the store.

    In an ideal world sure, but we live in the real world with real world limitations…

    I too, would love to live in an ideal world where ideals override simple facts.

    But that isn’t the real world, and frankly, will likely never be true.

    So get over yourself and get used to existence, you abominable dirt-head.




  • No, they don’t. It was done away with for many important reasons, including but not limited to:

    -people intentionally giving the wrong address so that it takes over 30min, costing everyone from the driver to management both time and money

    -drivers speeding to meet their time quota, and causing wrecks at increased rates

    -driver shortages, amplifying the last point

    I worked for dominos as recently as last year. The number of people that still try to scam you over the 30min/free rule is asinine, and at least twice a week I had to explain to would-be customers that 30min/free hasn’t existed in at least 30yr for a lot of really good reasons. I’ve even had customers ask if they could tip “extra” to get it sooner. Unless you’re tipping enough that everyone involved (cook, dispatch, driver) gets as much as the order’s base cost (multiplying order price by 4 at minimum), we’re never going to do that.

    I’d have thought that too, before meeting him. Even his own family only loves him begrudgingly (though they keep a much more polite face than I could) and conspiracies aside, he’s a waste of society’s time and resources.

    Hate me if you think I’m wrong, but if you’ve never met those kinds of people, you have no room to talk. They’re infinitely worse than the internet can make them seem.


  • Sorry if I seemed rude. Ignoring life problems, I’m not great at talking to people or voicing my thoughts, I just get really angry over things since a car wreck a couple years ago. Like all my feelings towards anything at all have been amplified. I do genuinely hope you have a good rest of your day.

    I do still feel that your statement on the matter excludes the fact that, since the dawn of history, the town/city has been infinitely more relevant to voting matters than rural could ever be. As I said, the people living outside the city walls were irrelevant to practical sociopolitical matters.

    I had a coworker before that was a flat-earther (lizardmen believer and all that shit), and one day he came into work saying “y’all ever wonder if the moon makes its own light??” during a dinner rush and the only thing that kept me from punching his lights out was the fact that it was dinner rush, or I would have pulled him by the collar of his shirt and beat him to near death.

    I didn’t think people like that really existed until him, and even then I didn’t want to accept it.

  • I’m ancient times, people outside city walls weren’t even allowed to vote. Add in the fact that humanity is tribal in nature, and your statement holds even less true.

    You think the peasants outside city walls were even allowed to vote on anything? They were literally outsiders that knew little to nothing about the inner (more populated) parts of cities.

    A city’s overall opinion is literally more important than rural mud slinging opinion, if for no other reason than because more people live there, and are affected by policy.

    Edit: sorry for being mean
