  • Trump Wrecked In Devastating Poll As Most Americans Say He’s ‘Worse Than Biden’ — With Whopping 18 Point Swing

    Jump

  • 18 point swing sounds great, but the 'post-swing' percentage is 51% thinking he's doing a worse job than Biden, which isn't actually all that encouraging, imo.

    Also, apparently the prior poll that's the other side of the 'swing' is one that was taken just after he was inaugurated...isn't that kind of a stupid time for a poll asking 'do you think the President is doing a better or worse job than the last President', just as he begins his term?

  • This article's source is the Daily Mail...

    Is this what we've been reduced to? Soon as it says something you want to be true, now the Daily Mail is magically a bastion of journalistic integrity?

    Holy confirmation bias.

  • Mansplaining requires acting on an assumption of ignorance. Acting on an overt display of perceived ignorance (even if the perception is incorrect) can never be mansplaining.

  • 🤓 Actually, that isn't mansplaining by definition. Criticizing something that's directly perceived can never fall under that definition. "Splaining" requires action taken based on an unjustified assumption of ignorance. If you're criticizing something that's obviously apparent, there's no assuming going on.

  • The US is not even close to the most racist/xenophobic countries/cultures on the planet. It's just that a lot of Americans without much experience actually living in different countries/cultures, or paying attention to their news, think that the worst they hear about here, is the worst there is.

    Sports events elsewhere have literally been delayed due to racism, lol.

  • I sympathize with the situation, but it's scummy/clickbait-y of the headline to imply the kid was transported apart from any family members. It would have been trivial to add "and her father" to the headline, but it was deliberately omitted to influence the emotional response.

    That's not respectable journalism.

  • Reminder that you're someone who reacts to being told condoms are less convenient to use than long-term hormonal contraception by claiming the person who told you hates women, lol.

    You know I'm right. There's no other explanation for devolving into nonsensical personal insults while simultaneously completely evading my rebuttals.

    So I accept your concession.

  • Some women like that little dance of rejecting and the guy not giving up, but even then only if they think you’re cute beforehand. But most women will just find that creepy and off-putting.

    The big frustration comes with the fact that the "most" women above are still happily consuming the romance movies/novels with the toxic paradigm you describe, along with the "some". And then they'll turn around and get indignant about it existing in real life, while promoting/encouraging it culturally simultaneously.

    Look at the colossal sales figures for 50 Shades of Grey, what percentage of that do you think came from men?

  • so many people view men as only wanting sex, so if a man complains about being lonely, isolated, or being unloved, it seems like everyone jumps to the conclusion that he’s only talking about sex. Then they scorn him, reinforcing the pattern of loneliness and building the sense of frustration and being a victim of ostracization.

    Precisely.

    Some people just value kindness and try to be nice for the sake of being nice; but if it lands them with accusations and scorn then it’ll only go on so long before they stop. And then people will scorn them either for being rude to women or snubbing them.

    Not only that, but that will mean that the only men remaining, who haven't stopped, are that minority that are being transactional, which further distorts women's perception of men as a whole.

    The reality is that men are also conscious and complex human beings, and depicting them as these simple and one-dimensional sex pests isn’t really moving the dialogue forward. All it does is give women a temporary feeling of moral superiority which they then chase like any other addiction.

    Couldn't have said it any better myself.

  • don’t know what subjective is lol

    No, you don't. Subjective means an opinion, a value judgment that's not tied to actual facts. For example, someone liking the exact same food more than another person. It's the same food, neither of you are "correct" or "incorrect" about how delicious it is, because that's subjective.

    Nothing I said was subjective. Condoms are objectively less convenient than any of the other methods I mentioned, for the factual reasons I stated. No method of contraception is less convenient than one that is a separate object that you need to physically possess on your person at the time of the sexual act. Barrier methods are objectively the least convenient method to prevent pregnancy.

    You invented some arbitrary metric of “birth control is only convenient and effective when you don’t have to carry it with you,”

    No, you made that up. I've only ever been talking about relative convenience. You entered this conversation when you responded to my stating the fact that female methods are more convenient than the one male method.

    However, it is a fact that even if all other things were equal, 'have to carry it with you' is objectively less convenient than 'don't have to carry it with you'. Any condition, any "have to", that applies to a method is a mark against its convenience. Obviously.

    As if it’s such a strain on your gentle countenance to bear the massive weight of less than 2 grams.

    What a ridiculous straw man, I never said one word about the weight being a factor. It costs nothing not to be disingenuous, you know.

    Do you not carry your phone, wallet, keys, and trousers with you?

    I'm going to set aside the idiotic false equivalence for a second, to point out that you're inadvertently agreeing with me.

    You carry your phone, wallet, and keys, because you have to—it's literally an inconvenience. If your locks were biometric and therefore you didn't have to carry your keys around, that would be more convenient. Being able to use Google Wallet et al to purchase things without having your wallet on you is more convenient than having to carry your wallet around.

    You’re an absolute tosser. Just say you hate women, mate. that’d be easier.

    I understand that you're very aware dishonesty is easier (as you demonstrated with all of the disingenuous nonsense above), but I'm not a dishonest person.

    Imagine being so outraged over someone stating the fact that condoms are less convenient than contraception methods that are one and done for weeks/months/years, that you're literally insulting them and have actually convinced yourself that they hate women!

    How foolish.
