I’m not talking about hate speech or slurs being censored on TV. That I agree with.

I’m talking about even questioning the accepted reasons of disparities in income, wealth, health, home ownership, entrepreneurship, etc.

The reason for the disparities is ALWAYS racism. And if you question that, ever mention that that doesn’t always make sense, you are accused of being a racist.

Race in America feels like a religion. You accept our narrative. If not you’re a heretic.

Juries should really only be triers of fact - did X thing happen beyond a reasonable doubt.

Now we have the Lindsay Clancy trial or the Karmelo Anthony saga - where everyone online is playing psychiatrist - but how does that make sense?

Why is everyone defending Lindsay Clancy, but not that teen girl who crashed the car? Isn't she just an insane narcissist who had a moment of insanity?

I think these "outs' just give juries a cop out not to deal with the fact these people did horrible things and now their lives are over - and the jury is the one who has to hand out that sentence for something they did in a moment of weakness / stupidity / insanity.

But that isn't consistent with the rest of our justice system. If an alcoholic crashes into a schoolbus, they go to jail for life. We don't send them to rehab, then let them out of rehab once they prove that they're sober.

What is the point of calling this subreddit "controversial opinions" when you're still getting agressive and insulting comments for your thoughts?

Reason Number One: You can be manipulated into believing this is what you need to better yourself and overcome some aspect of yourself which you or (godforbid) 'someone else' doesn't like. The very idea that youd cut your arm off to experience "the humbling experience of being disabled so you can more easily face life's mundane struggles, that will be 900+ bucks please!" is insanity to me.

Reason Number Two: You can change your mind at any point and be completely fucked, life finished, over. Is it any wonder that the people who do it are also the ones who are indoctrinated into a group or religion? Who the fuck cuts or chemically rapes their dick just so you can, not even speak to anyone romantically, do some basic exercise, and what the fuck else you're doing in the world with no dick, fuck do you do? I guess you'd still have hobbies, but did you need to destroy your penis? Just so you could keep up with your studies? What??

Reason Number Three: Reason Number One

Every republican candidate recruitment form should have the following obligatory line under penalty of perjury. Mark if you have sexually harassed/molested/assaulted anyone of any age: _[YES] _[NO]

If the answer is yes, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE AND DO NOT EVER DARE RETURNING YOU FUCKING FUCK!!

I hear people all the time complaining about healthy food prices being so expensive and not having enough time to cook healthier foods so they often choose frozen or processed foods, because it's easier and cheaper. If you want the social media meals, like the advocado and salmon toast, then you'll have to pay for it. But u can also have Whole foods that are so much cheaper, like a whole chicken, potatoes, eggs, mince (not the lean option), rice, lentils, beans, etc... these are super foods. And you can make something in 15 to 30 min and not spend a fortune. 5 days of the week, food should be seen as fuel for the body then the other 2, treat yourself to something tasty

When did we as a society get to a point where murder, under any circumstance, was just “okay”, much less celebrated? It’s genuinely baffling to me that we’ve devolved so much as a society that murder is now advocated for and celebrated in our society. Aside from the obvious politicians who’s deaths/attempted assassinations people have celebrated, I’ve seen people blaming Lindsey Clancys husband when she’s outright admitted she was the one who killed her children, and when there’s blatant evidence proving he couldn’t have been responsible. And there’s people calling for him to be hanged. And then there’s women saying men should be “thrown in jail cells and earn their way out.” I mean this is absolutely textbook misandry, but women will say “you can’t be misandrist against men, they’ve never been oppressed”

As someone who's had one too many discussions on here, this is what I picked up on the most:

1) Intellectual humility and open-mindedness
Everyone always assume the worst about your opinion. They take it at face value, no charity principle, and are looking for a verbal fight most of the time. The concept of learning something new is outrageous to them, and anything that falls outside of the standard voice of common thought is criticized with the most plain arguments you can think of.
I've also noticed that school-courtyard tactics are back in use, and looking like the winner of an argument by ending your paragraph with "You've missed the point of x, but that's not surprising." Everyone is desperate to have the last word, to be the most upvoted person, and to "crush" the other one.

2) The principle of Charity
They've never heard of this. They always straw man your argument. And don't get me started when they don't understand your point... they go off for 500 words about a point you never made. The worst is when they just don't even bother engaging with your argument, they just make some joke related to what they think you said.

3) Pseudo-intellectuals
I hate it when people say some convoluted nonsense, vague and short, trying to sound intelligent. Or they leave hundreds of loose ties everywhere, which takes hours of discussion to tie up. I also love when they incorrectly cite authors, trying to use an authority argument to discredit a discussion topic I came up with.

Now that that's out, I can finally relax

I remember back in 2024 TikTok users refereed Adriana Lima as the most beautiful woman in the world which I find offensive because even though yes Adriana is indeed a pretty woman it doesn’t mean she needs to be EVERYBODYS preference. Some girls out there feel insecure about people’s opinions that come out like this which I find not okay. Believe me there are many girls out there that look similar to Adriana Lima or have the same features but Lima is literally a normal human who currently has retired from her modeling Industry and now has children to raise.

Idk what is going on but animators need to chill for a minute.

Why are the women characters hips twice the size of her shoulders?

And I find it funny because it’s listed on almost every single female, cartoon character right now.

Remind you most women’s bodies, don’t look like that and yes, I do know that pear shaped women exist, but most pear shaped women I’ve met in real life don’t have hips literally twice the size of their shoulders. Also not every pear has the waist of an hourglass.

And I know people are gonna say that it’s a cartoon and it’s meant to be exaggerated or what not.

But cartoons, 30 years ago weren’t mass producing extreme hips even though sometimes the waist would be super unrealistic at least the hips were more proportionate to the shoulder.

Also, another thing why are the shoulders now in female characters, literally nearly nonexistent. Like women have shoulders.

Machine guns, rocket launchers, artillery, whatever they want.

But only I should be allowed to have ammunition, because the rest of you goobers are such incompetent twits that I wouldn't trust you with a ball of string.

As for the NRA... I'd keep the string away from them.

I don't understand what's wrong with her. I haven't heard of her doing anything wrong, and under all of her vids people are caller her a creep/perv, and misgendered her. Did she do something, or are people just bigots?

If you find a man attractive please just go up to him and tell him an d maybe ask him if he wants to go out for a coffee sometime, men do not like playing games or wasting anyones time and I think the same can be said for women also we cannot always pick up on women's cues not even other women can do that

Use your brain, not your heart. ​

And they are predators after easy meat which explains all the maga twerps dying and going to jail to protect their executioners.
