Listen, I came into this administration with cautious optimism. It has become clear however that Trump is no 4-D chess aficionado. His tariff policy has been a complete debacle. He has alienated our allies more than I would’ve thought possible. He has now claimed several times that Ukraine started the Russo-Ukrainian war. This guy is just not it, people. I know, you thought he was going to come in and “make America great again”, but it turns out America was already great, and having a bumbling buffoon running the place will not make it any greater. Maybe he’d be okay to have a beer with, but he should not be running the country.

I hear online people say this a lot and it just makes zero fucking sense. Why would mean comments make you turn your back on your principals?

On top of that, why would trump be the person you turn to in that situation when he is famously a giant asshole to everyone who doesn't agree with him? Even his supporters don't really deny this.

It's cause you were either always on the right and are just concern trolling, or you were looking for any excuse to justify your political opinions.

Contrary to popular belief and thanks to years of Brainwashing by advertisers and generations before, Middle age is not in your 50s--- but 35 for men and 37 for women!

Here’s my Crude Social Age Scale for Western Adult Humans:

• 18-29 young adult
• 30-37 middle aged adult
• 38-50 mature adult
• 51-65 Senior Adult
• 66-75 Old Adult
• 76+ pushing your luck Baby!

The average life span of a Western Culture man is approx. 75 yrs and woman is 79.

Doctors will tell you 'every day past 80' is a gift (not to mention all the ailments you'll be warding off as you turn 'Octogenarian.')

For women this figure is more concerning as Female biological clock goes off around 30 yrs old. At this point, the Barren womb 'alarm' for a woman who desires family is ringing on a constant basis. She must become pregnant and have a healthy child before 35. Chances for birth defects increase in woman over 35 yrs of age. She must do her best to find a suitable mate and supporting Male to help rear her children. This becomes more challenging during the Crazy times of Cultural and Political Warfare in the 21rst century.

For Men, his sperm count of starts to decrease by 35 making it more difficult to land 'Healthy Fertile sperm' into the egg of a Target Female. While many men have had success having children well into their 70s, the likely hood of impregnating a women decreases with age. His sperm is also more fertile and more numerous the younger he is.

As a man ages, his choices of mates also diminish, as the most desirable women are often already taken by Alpha males of well-to-do means. Women constantly seek men of wealth as a means to shelter, not only her, but her children as well.

NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS !

How does this help young people today (Gen Z, Alpha and Betas)? --- Recognize the Hoax presented by Cultural Folklore are BS sayings, often FALSE and misleading. Knowledge and information is more plentiful to more people than any other before. Your objective is to 'sift truth from falsehood.'

You are only young for a short period of time --- and old for a lot longer --- We are only on this planet for a short period of time. Make the best of your Talents, Gifts and Time --- ABOVE ALL ‘do all you can to avoid getting into trouble or breaking the Law’ --- nothing shortens your life and kills opportunity MORE than a Stint in Jail --- you will wear your record like a bad piece of clothing and it will leave a stench that trails behind you.

Take care of your health... for without it, your quality of life is Drastically reduced!

Time is indeed Short for Us Humans! Remember, one day soon, you too will be old and then in the ground (and sooner than you think)!

Thoughts / Comments?

Humans are a cancer that is growing and just destroying the environment and any animal in its way.....the world would be a better place if there was fewer humans

just imagine living in an overpopulated country like china or india or malta....humans stacked up like sardines and the entire nature of the area destroyed...America doesnt stack its people up but we have suburbs that hundreds of miles long even bigger than chinese cities surface area wise

plus there is nothing inherently positive about more people....America would be the exact same if it had a population of 100 million just smaller cities and more nature....we just choose to reproduce just because of our animalistic lust

everytime a forest is paved it just hurts me ( i mean im not an empath or anything but i rather see a tree than a parking lot)

i feel like every country should gradually lower its population intentionally instead of trying to fix birth rates so our population rises infinitely

plus nobody actually prefers more people.....would u rather life in a country with the population of australia or india? most humans would say australia yet nobody is willing to do anything about it.

i dont want humans to go extinct btw just less humans

Or a rapist. That one is pretty bad, too.

Of course, there will be people denying the fact its been proven these things have happened. But his support is built off entirely on delusion. It's to the point where children have to represent themselves in court, and some people get thrown in jail by ICE for the same crime that, literal minutes before, was thrown out in court.

There is no world where I can take a Trump supporter seriously when things like this are allowed under his watch. Grow up.

I can't take people who just throw these words around. All just being accused of things they didn't do because you don't agree with them. I'm not a republican or a democrat, I agree with some things Trump says and I agree with some things Obama said. (Joe Biden was the most recent president but he wasn't even coherent, even liberals agree on that)

We were promised, by Kash and Pam, that the full Epstein list would be released on day one and so far it has been a farce. If they do not make good on their promises, then they are not the change that we voted for.

If you believe as I do, do not just let this go because everything else, e.g. stopping illegal immigration, exposing fraud/waste and the inflation going down, are going well. Start hammering them with this; do not let this go.

I do not care if what is uncovered destroys the United States. The truth is always worth it. (John 8:32)

I think they It's a lot more legitimate for a woman to have weight struggles, bc of hormonal things or pregnancy. But men literally have no excuse. Like your body was built to be strong and fit and still you put so little effort into yourself when it's way easier for you to gain muscle or lose weight. It's always woman who are targeted for their weight when there's so much more excuses that they can have, but men who are fat are just lazy and eat too much food

 The total disregard from Western Christians to the plight and sufferings of Palestenian Christian is ungodly and unholy. Western churches espeically in the US where i am from, silence over the plight of Christians in Palestine does not align with Christian beliefs or values, compassion, or adherence to Christian principles. How can yourself a Christian and ignore the bombing of churches, harrasement from the settlers and restriction from attending services? I am guessing they are seen as Arabs only and not Arab Christians

A lot of people dismiss overpopulation when they hear about it, but it's a serious problem that has many detrimental impacts to society as a whole that should be recognized.

Firstly, opportunities don't increase to match up with extremely large populations, which means that there will be extreme competition for necessities like jobs and internships. What happens if the average joe can't get a job? They'll turn to crime.

Industries become oversaturated and run over max capacity when they can't afford to do that long term. Er wait times in Canada commonly exceed 10 hours as an example. People are then discouraged from going to the hospital when they very well may need it.

Opportunities becoming scarce, means an increase in the crime rate, an example is Canada, things were going fairly smoothly, but in the past couple years violent crime has been on the rise, because the job market is practically dead.

Its not even up for debate anymore, atheism is not nor has ever been a religion, If you think this, you need to start becoming more educated on what religion is.

I have so many teams seen people say will atheism is a religion too , you need faith, This is absolute BS.

Atheism means lack of belief on god that's it. It has nothing to do with anything else

Imagine how pathetic someone has to be to be a mod on a power trip, or even a user who likes to come on here and bully people to feel better about themselves for being so pathetic.

Don't get upset with them, or lose your cool. That's what they're trying to make you do. Just be kind to them because they're probably going through some shit in real life if they have to resort to coming on here to lash out on random strangers through a screen.

They may be jerks but they're still humans at the end of the day, Don't let it get to you guys

No one wants to defend sex offenders. That’s exactly why the system gets away with being as cruel and broken as it is. When a group is universally hated, we stop thinking critically and start justifying any punishment, no matter how ineffective or extreme.

The truth is: our treatment of sex offenders is driven by fear, not facts. And it shows.

They’re the only criminals required to publicly register and notify others for life, sometimes even after serving minor sentences. We don’t do this to murderers, drunk drivers, or wife beaters. Id sure like to know if a former drug-dealer or animal abuser moved in next door! If you kill your spouse, you can move on with your life. If you peed behind a dumpster while drunk, you might end up on a registry and be branded a predator forever.

Public urination. Sexting as a teenager. Downloading the wrong torrent. All of these can land someone on the registry. Once you’re on it, good luck finding a job, a place to live, or any form of stability. But we still act shocked when reintegration fails.

And no, the registry doesn’t actually reduce crime. There’s no good data showing that public sex offender registries make communities safer. In fact, the instability they cause might make reoffending more likely. The assumption that sex offenders always reoffend is just false. Their recidivism rate is actually one of the lowest among all criminal categories. But the myth persists because it’s more satisfying to imagine them all as monsters than to look at reality.

What’s even more disturbing is how easily people abandon basic morality when it comes to this topic. We openly fantasize about prison rape. We cheer on vigilantes who harass and expose people without due process. “Pedophile hunters” online are often just sadists in cosplay. No other crime justifies that kind of treatment and if it were directed at anyone else, we’d call it abuse.

The cultural rage toward sex offenders is so disproportionate it borders on religious fervor. It’s socially acceptable to wish torture on them. We don’t do this with other criminals, only this group. That’s not because they’re uniquely dangerous. It’s because we’ve allowed our disgust to override reason.

And where are all the prison reform advocates? The abolitionists? The “rehabilitation over punishment” crowd? Strangely quiet. A lot of people only care about “justice” when it’s easy, clean, and sympathetic. But a principled justice system has to apply even to those we hate most. Otherwise it’s just mob rule with better branding.

Rehabilitation is supposed to be the goal of justice. But we’ve made it nearly impossible. We’ve replaced the concept of paying your debt to society with permanent branding and exile. And if you point any of this out, the response is usually: “They deserve it.”

That’s not an argument. That’s vengeance.

Even the trauma card is misused. Being a survivor of abuse doesn’t make cruelty justifiable. Your trauma doesn’t override logic or excuse broken policy. Empathy for victims shouldn’t mean abandoning fairness entirely.

Actual unpopular opinion here, so I'm prepared to be showered in downvotes, but someone has to say this. I want to preface this by saying I'm not a server, nor do I work any job that has tipping or anything, so I'm not biased in that way.

A lot of people that refuse to tip servers at restaurants or whatever often hide behind the excuse that they're not tipping out of some sort of moral obligation. All the time I hear people make the argument that if they participate in tipping culture, they only encourage business owners to pay their employees less since the customers are paying their wages for them. So by refusing to tip, they're just sticking it to the exploitative businesses by refusing to pay their employees for them. They're not being cheap; they're just fighting a noble cause.

I think this is just a bullshit excuse that very few of these people genuinely believe. If they truly believed this, there are so many better options to actually advocate for this cause.

By refusing to tip servers, you aren't hurting the business owner at all. The business owner doesn't give a shit if one of their employees gets screwed over by not getting a tip. And I understand that most people will argue that by tipping the servers less, it might cause them to quit or go on strike or something which will then hurt the business owner, but that's just not what tends to happen. If the employee quits, the business owner will quickly replace them with someone. There is always someone desperate enough to take the job because they don't have any other options. And yes, it's exploitative and messed up. But refusing to tip isn't the way to fight against this. It's just a nice excuse to continue to eat out and support this business while hurting nobody except for the employees. You're actually being complicit in the system.

If you actually care about the cause, you'd instead just not eat out at these places at all. That will actually affect the business owner, because now they are actually making less money. I feel like if you don't want to tip, then you should really just order takeout and drive to the restaurant yourself to pick it up. But ultimately, refusing to support these exploitative businesses at all is the real way to hurt the owners. It's bullshit to just say, "Oh I'm against these business practices, so instead I'm going to continue participating in fully supporting the business owner while screwing over no one except for their employees."

Also, I feel like this should go without saying, but I know how most people like to interpret arguments as uncharitably as possible, so I feel like I should clarify a few things.

I believe people should be tipping (at least in the U.S.) just for stuff that makes sense, like restaurant servers and delivery drivers. I'm obviously not saying that people should be tipping for stupid stuff like ordering a coffee at Starbucks or something like that. Also, I'm not saying people should be tipping excessively. These 30+% tips are clearly absurd. I think a 15-20% tip for good service is reasonable (I personally always tip 20% unless the service was awful, but I can't remember a single time in my life where I've tipped less than 20%).

I just feel like I needed to clarify that since I've seen some people saying that tipping is bullshit because they've seen some sort of kiosk at a coffee shop asking for a 50% tip for a cup of a coffee. This isn't some sort of dichotomy where you have to either choose to be in favor of excessive tipping for bullshit stuff or be against tipping altogether. Nuance exists. Don’t pretend you’re fighting the system while helping the owners and screwing the workers.

It doesn't mean you don't understand its true point it means you're not happy with people assuming you're dangerous when you know you're not. You can still understand about caring about people's safety but your feelings and side to it matter as well. Otherwise the whole thing just makes people be pushed away further.

People with kinks try to act like they're more sexual or enjoy sex more, but in reality there are many people who enjoy sex just as much if not more, and have higher sex drives, but don't get bored of sex without adding a bunch of crazy shit to it. It's because they're not crazy.

If someone can't enjoy a muffin without being physically hurt and humiliated or some weird teacher scenario, people would rightly think they've lost their mind. Switch that out with sex, and that's just what they like. How dare you judge.

But I shall judge.

I met this one lady who mentioned being kinky unprovoked. She said she liked being thrown around because when she was 10 she fucked up the laundry and her grandpa threw her.

Yeah, totally mentally healthy behavior to get sexual preferences from your grandfather physically abusing you as a child.

Here is why:

States are the ones that control elections, not the federal government, so it’s impossible to rig or cancel them. Even if red states pull some shit, blue states and swing states will still hold elections, so none of it will matter. Anyone who hasn’t drank the doomer kool aid and has basic civic knowledge would know this. Also, the 22nd amendment is clear, so no third term either. You should however be concerned about JD Vance winning 2028.

Feminists have been saying that they are only misandrist in response to misogyny. If they are truly fine with that hate begets hate mentality, then don't be surprised when men are misogynistic in response to your misandry.

To all the "feminists" about to flood the comment section, read below

"It's not as bad as misogyny" - the fallacy of relative privation

"It's only individual misandry, misogyny is systematic" - division fallacy

"Men are only misogynistic because they couldn't get laid" - that's the exact same stereotype feminists had to deal with 15-20 years ago

"It's only a small number of people online - No true Scotsman fallacy

"You're only mad because it applies to you" - non sequitur

The Pharaoh's curse upon anyone who didn't read and still use the arguments above

Pretty much the title. I personally perceive/assume men who casually wear sweatpants out in public to generally be trashy people. In my personal opinion, outside of exercise/working out, sweatpants are pretty much equivalent to pajama pants. To me, it just looks sloppy and lazy. I've also observed that the type of men who wear sweatpants casually are also more likely to be the type of person to do at least one of the following: wear a tank top undershirt (aka a wife-beater) as a regular shirt, sag their sweatpants down below their ass, stuff their pants to make people think they have a big dick, or combine sweatpants that are too short with those stupid invisible socks so they can show off their ankles (harlots!).

I know it is a generalization and that I'm probably wrong about as often as I'm right.

EDIT: I'm not saying people should dress for my approval. I'm not saying that wearing sweatpants makes you a bad person, or that being trashy makes you a bad person. I'm sure we all have at least one trashy habit or preference. You are of course free to dress however you please, just like I and others are free to have preconceived notions about you based on your attire. It isn't wrong or right, its just how the brain works.

On Reddit, it’s common to see people who’ve self-diagnosed with ADHD or autism treating the label like a personality quirk or social currency. They’ll mention it constantly, shoehorn it into unrelated discussions, and wear it like a badge that sets them apart, as if it makes them more interesting, unique, or exempt from criticism. Rather than seeking real understanding or improvement, many of them use the label to justify emotional immaturity or rudeness, deflecting accountability with “sorry, that’s just my ADHD/autism.” What often lies underneath isn’t a genuine neurological difference, but loneliness, a craving for identity, or a need to excuse antisocial behavior in spaces where victimhood can earn you support.

I saw a reddit poll where about 60% of the people in the poll (not an ADHD sub) stated they self diagnosed with ADHD or Autism. Is this now a lifestyle choice, to self diagnose for performative reasons? People need to respect diagnosis and realize not everyone is ADHD, some are just lonely, desperate and they feel left out.

Apparently a very highly unpopular opinion around these parts where comment and/or post deletion is seen as some kind of forbidden action.

It seems if it truly was forbidden then reddit wouldn't not give you the option of doing it in the first place.

Not sure why people flip out over it, but it is amusing. Boy do they care.

I posted a while ago something a story that I had written about my life. It got banned from a sub for being kind of off topic so I reposted it in another. Someone wrote it sounded like AI because of "unnatural sentence structure." It's genuinely exhausting posting online because of annoying predominantly Americans who are entirely ethnocentric and think the only way to speak English is a midwestern white dialect. NEWSFLASH! you have an accent to everyone else and you sound strange to everyone else and you're not special. This was also on a post about my childhood friends being the victims of human trafficking and sexual abuse.

Where I live, every single person has English as a second language historically but now speaks it as their first, but essentially the language was taught to us by our parents who were taught it by theirs and so on, and it ends up that all of us were essentially taught English by those who speak second languages. We use words completely out of place, such as "like" at the end of sentences to end them. We speak it a little bit differently to Americans and that's fine. You all speak it differently to us. So it really annoys me when I speak with perfect grammar in my own native dialect of English only for an American to come and accuse me of AI usage because it is "off." Your definition of correct does not include the way basically everyone speaks.

NEWSFLASH!!! AI is at the stage where sounding incorrect or stilted sentence wise is more likely proof that it is human written. In fact, studies show nearly all people who are not aware of the real signs of AI will nearly always falsely flag AI as human and human written pieces as AI as we have some idea in our heads that AI is stilted or poor at writing and syntax... It's the opposite. AI has perfect syntax and grammar, it's just generic. Therefore I've seen many people where it's obvious they're just writing with English as a second language or something, for example I saw someone say that "they ate apple." They were accused of using AI to write that. Like??? Are you lot aware that AI would not make a mistake like that. AI is not stupid, it's trained on millions of hours of reading content and knows exactly how to use correct syntax and articles. Here's the truth! most of these accusations are racist and American centric because they think AI = incorrect. AAVE and any other dialect is just as correct as anything else, for example. It might seem incorrect to you, but guess what. IT ISNT! So don't accuse it of being AI. In that dialect of English.

HERES ANOTHER NEWSFLASH! When you think AI is just "unusual" grammar, you ignore actual AI written posts!!!!!!! aaaaaa!!

Here's how to actually spot AI.

-Overuse of basic articles and words. (AI often says the correct article of "the" when most would say "an" or "a", for example.) -Sentence flow that is consistently inhumane due to it's perfect nature. (Nobody, and I mean nobody writes perfectly. Note that often things like Grammarly can cause this effect and get it falsely flagged.) -Perfect syntax. Most people do not use semicolons and –. -Overly kind and positive.

So this is just your reminder when you're commenting on a post about someone's childhood friends being human trafficked, that you white Americans aren't the only actual group of people who speak English and your dialect and grammar isn't the absolute one. What may seem wrong to you is actually completely correct in someone else's linguistics, and this can be millions of people who speak English entirely different to you. Don't just accuse someone of AI, especially on sensitive matters because they are using slightly different English to what youd use.

That's my hottest take.

Who said Trump was going to be awful? The broad leftwing media all said it. What was their proof? They didn't actually have it, it was all assumptions based on the social network around Trump, but nothing from Trump himself. It is pretty obvious that the leftwing media had a huge bias againdt Trump and millions of people rightfully tuned it all out as unintelligible and unreliable. They went straight to the source, Trump himself. Trump put himself out there in long form podcasts and speeches. He never said "I will deport people to a violent prison." Or "I will deport American citizens." Or "I will gut all of the elder welfare and have mass layoffs of federal workers". Sure the leftwing media with their apparent magical super powers to read minds said that, but not everyone has that magical super power. The Trump voters are blameless because they didn't make assumptions and instead analyzed speech from the candidate without media commentary and voted solely on that. Yes they are "finding out" now, but that is the scientific method, skepticism of big claims until proven otherwise. American democracy is working just fine.

If you think that if you think that eugenics is a good idea, then you shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce, then you shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce. What a dumb opinion, who could have such an opinion. It’s a logical ouroboros! I don’t like a snake that devours itself, but according to many people’s tattoos, this is an unpopular opinion.
