I get it. People do things they normally never would think about when they get desperate. Maybe they think being on a sub or a mechanic out of combat they won’t have to actively hurt anyone while also providing for a wife and kids. People have a very black and white sense of things on here. Join military = bad no matter what no exceptions.
Still less than youtube, and they were predictable and child be written around
People buy houses all the time they can’t afford. Hidden costs, thinking taxes and insurance won’t shoot up, depending on the size might cost and arm and a leg to heat/cool.
There’s even a term called “house poor” when you buy a house but don’t have the money to furnish it so you just have big empty rooms.
I read through other comments and I didn’t realize the sentiment some people had in this thread.
It absolutely is a gender issue and it’s wild to try and say that it’s only a class one.
Ok, I read through other comments and you’re right. There are people in here commenting that’s in not a gender issue at all which is kind of wild. I wasn’t very clear in my first comment that it’s both issues. Some people see the gender issue and think that’s all there is to it but you can also fit it through the “class issue” hole.
Not being dismissed but you clearly want to take it that way.
Stop trying to make everything a gender issue and misreading everything. Clearly it’s both, but trying to pretend it’s not a class issue is just a complete misdiagnosis.
Yes. I guess I should’ve made that clear on my first comment. I was more commenting on how people seem to see that men are in these positions, so therefore it’s a gendered issue, and then they stop cuz they think they already understand the nature of the problem but there’s actually more going on than what might seem obvious on the surface.
I’m just sick of people getting distracted from class issues.
Two things can be true at the same time… but yeah, stay distracted from the class issue it’s ONLY a gender thing for sure 100% no way it’s anything else make sure it’s only about men and gender and definitely NOT class. Lol
“Minimum wage means the company wants to pay you even less but it’s illegal” lol
But seriously even tho the min wage hasn’t increased since 2009 in the U.S. I think most fast food places start at $9 or $10 / hr. Still a slap in the face, but they at least realized the min wage was way too low and nobody would work at that pay.
That’s right it goes in the “class issue” hole lol.
I get why people see it as a sex issue since most of the rich people in positions of power that seemingly don’t face consequences are men.
It was a quote from the star wars prequels
Can’t believe peen didn’t make the list
The good sites will give you a little bit of your money back so it doesn’t seem like complete bull shit and have a lot of “near misses” too.
It can also prey on desperate people who might not usually try gambling but maybe feel like it’s their best option at the time.
That makes sense from a theist perspective lol, that any “god” is inherently beyond our understanding/ comprehension. I think everyone should at least lean agnostic, cuz how can you say for sure either way?
Personal faith is way better than any organized religion since it forces you to think about these heavy questions instead of just accepting what you’re told.
I really like that idea tho, it’s not God it’s just the universe existing.
Atheist agnostic I suppose. I grew up catholic tho, got confirmed in high school and everything lol. I hated the idea that “you’re nothing without God” and “you need God in your life” attitude that they use. Like bro that’s literally abusive behavior what are you doing?
I have a question for you tho. What are your thoughts about humans eventually being able to “measure god”? I’m thinking about radiation, electricity, radio waves. Things that were always there but we just didn’t know what they were. Like if you went near radiation before it was “discovered”, you still got sick, you just didn’t know why.
But we studied those things and now we understand them better. What if “god” as it’s known, or “spiritual experiences” or whatever, are something we can actually devise a way to measure or study? We just don’t understand it yet.
I’m curious to hear from an agnostic theist about this specifically lol. Just the idea that we could “measure god” somehow. A thiest would say god can’t be measured and an atheist would say there is no god so it doesn’t matter.
I think this was when the song W.A.P. came out. (Wet Ass Pussy) And Benny Boy here said if a pussy is wet it’s a medical problem. So people started dunking on him and then he responded with this, his actual doctor wife’s medical opinion on a wet pussy lol.
Ahh just scrolled further and they’re here lol. Name is Cowbee. The account is 2 years old, 17,000 comments. All they do is post pro-china shit everywhere they can.
Dude… idk how I fell into it but there’s an account here on lemmy that goes around commenting shit like “fake news” and “your American state media lies to you and its so easy” on posts calling out what China is doing to Uyghurs. Basically denying any wrongdoing by China. Idk if they’re a bot or state agent or paid actor or what. I wonder if they’ll make an appearance on this post…
Looks like someone was on the (grape) juice
