2020-10-15 at 3:32 PM UTC in And You Think Biden Is Creepy?Baxter Dmitry reports for Newspunch, April 3, 2019, that according to Paul Tatchell, a roommate of Joe Biden at the Syracuse University College of Law, Biden admitted he was sexually attracted to children.
Tatchell reportedly said that Biden “used to say it was his ‘civic responsibility’ and that if he didn’t ‘choke the chicken’ or ‘clean the hosepipe’ before spending time around children he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off them.”

I am paraphrasing a successful public defender.
Consent is a contractual term. It means you cannot legally enforce the terms of a contract on a minor signed on their own behalf. It never prevented children from performing an agreement willingly on their own. Consent means willingness to submit to legal enforcement, which is simply not available against children and rightfully so.
Terms like consent and statutory rape are meaningless applied to sex in the absence of force because there is no rape and nothing to enforce. -

Originally posted by MexicanMasterRace Nah, covid did. Other countries didnt suffer economically to the same degree as America is. They locked down and were able to continue life as normal without the virus.
America didn't have that because we never locked down correctly in the first place. It was essentially useless because nobody wore masks or stayed inside.
Sweden never did a lockdown, never wore masks and didnt hide in their basements like retard lunatics, they are doing far better than everyone else and their rate of infection is slightly lower.
destroying the entire economy, thrusting millions into poverty in the name of not catching a cold was an idiotic move from the start, but it did make all the billionaires way richer! -

2020-10-13 at 3:40 PM UTC in Words that make you sound weak
Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood idk, whoever wrote this is a faggot and I just say whatever I want. This is just the same shit they teach you in sales training, use positive words not negative.
Don't say things like "I don't know" or "no" because those are negative statements. Phrase things in a way where yes is the only option. this is common manipulation used at even the lowest levels of sales training and I think it's gay because "it gets results" but you are manipulating a person with language instead of being honest.
The truth is being your honest and true self gets you nowhere in life because those are not the values our society is based on. That's why people have to follow certain speech patterns of the professional world because its proven to work in this culture. I just find the entire thing disgusting and I think people are all fucking retards, also that shit doesn't work on me.
Basically it's just treating people like NPC's because people literally are programmed to act a certain way which is why scamming is so easy to do if you use the right words. People are just stupid
Being honest all the time about everything is very poor social skills which will lead you into getting manipulated and scammed by everyone around you, as you more or less explained.
honesty should be a value but living in that lalaland wont get you anywhere in the real world. you sink or swim in this one. -
2020-10-13 at 5:55 AM UTC in Words that make you sound weak
Your job title isn’t the only thing that determines how influential you are. Every word you use at work expresses your personal brand, from your confidence and authority to your depth of knowledge. And it’s verbs–those action words that should be the engine of a sentence–that most often trip us up.
Overusing certain weak verbs can make you sound weaker, too. They can undercut your ability to inspire others and suggest to listeners–from top executives and colleagues to your direct reports–that you aren’t really sure of yourself. So while there’s certainly room for uncertainty in any workplace, you might want to trim these verbs from your vocabulary.
1. “Think”
Who doesn’t use the expression “I think?” Your coworker might say, “I think we should move ahead with this project,” or your boss may tell you, “I think you’ve got a good idea.” Harmless enough, right?
The only trouble is that “think” doesn’t sound definitive. It subtly saps the power of whatever follows it. “Think” derives from an Old English word (“þencan” or “thencan”) meaning to “conceive in the mind, consider, meditate.” In other words, you’re subtly suggesting that you’re still considering the position you espouse–that you’re not sure of it.
In ordinary conversation, “I think” is a throwaway phrase that won’t even register on most people, but you may want to steer clear of it at work. While it’s fine to mutter occasionally (“I think I’ll have coffee with my friend”), you’re better off axing any prefatory phrase in professional settings. Say, “You’ve got a good idea” or, “That’s an excellent proposal.” If you want a replacement verb, try, “I’m confident your plan will work!”
2. “Need”
When your boss says, “I need this report as soon as possible,” she undercuts herself. Using “need” conjures up a feeling of dependency on the part of the speaker, rather than of obligation and responsibility on the part of the team. I once heard a vice president say to her subordinate, “I need you to do something for me.” It made the tone of her request sound pleading rather than empowered. Simply put, “I need” makes you sound needy. To project more confidence, swap it with firm but polite phrases like, “Please have this report to me by next Friday.”
3. “Want”
“Want” is really similar to “need”: It suggests the speaker is wanting or lacking in some way. If a boss tells a subordinate, “I want you to improve the quality of your work,” that statement suggests the boss is not getting what she wants–which maybe she isn’t. But the better way to get what you want is to simply set forth facts: “Your work on this report needs to be higher quality.” That puts the onus on the employee.
Similarly, if you tell your boss, “I want a raise,” you’ve made an emotional appeal and signaled your lack of confidence. It’s better to bring together a verb of conviction (“I believe” or “I’m convinced”) and your reasons: “I believe my pay and performance during the last year make a strong case for a raise.”
4. “Guess”
“Guessing” conveys tentativeness. I once heard a CEO tell analysts, “Our best guess is that our profit for year’s end will be marginally better than last year’s.” There were so many ways he could have reframed that more confidently: “We expect our profit for the year to be ahead of last year’s,” or, “Our results should surpass last year’s.”
If you aren’t sure of the results, that’s fine! Don’t lie or exaggerate. Rather than “guess,” use the most confident expression you can.
5. “Hope”
Leaders often begin statements with “I hope”: “I hope we’ll get that sale” or, “I hope you’ll be able to take on that assignment.” Rather than inspiring confidence, “hope” has a prayer-like quality, suggesting that the speaker has little control over the outcome.
What are some alternatives? Instead of saying you “hope” that a team will bring in a client sale, tell them, “I’m looking forward to a win,” or “I know you’ll give it your all.” These statements are much more empowering. They show your confidence in what your team can already do, rather than subtly questioning their performance in the future.
6. “Suppose”
You’re having coffee with a colleague who asks if you’re going to an upcoming town hall meeting. If you answer, “I suppose so,” you quietly indicate that it doesn’t really matter to you–you’re not really engaged.
There’s no occasion in the workplace where conveying your indifference and inertia will improve your influence or authority. Instead, find something to express your passion for (even if it’s not the meeting experience itself): “Yes, I’ll definitely be there–I want to hear what management has to say.” You may not think this matters when you’re talking to a teammate, but it does. News travels fast, and if the words you repeatedly use suggest a “don’t really care” attitude, it’s only a matter of time before your reputation and influence begin to dip.
Language is a powerful force in all your impromptu conversations. And because there are more chances to use them, the small words and phrases you resort to every day at work can have an outsized impact on your leadership ability. Cut these six verbs from your lexicon, and you’ll start to notice your power and confidence climb.
I dont disagree with the article but its missing many more examples.
any of you care to add more?

2020-10-12 at 3:04 PM UTC in The worst thing about living within your meansI know right, i settled in a ghettoish part of town in an effort to not just live paycheck to fucking paycheck and i'm neighbored by a block with apparently frozen rents for decades that will never increase, its capped at like $400 a month. what do the nigglets do? they spend their welfare surplus on booze, cheap weed and hang around fat skanks 24/7.
i was like motherfucker, if i had a cheap flat like that, i would be living a middle class life, i could easily save enough to make a killing in the fuckin stock market.
similarly, i see people making 10 times the money i do and their as fuckin poor as me when they are done all their frivolous spending on useless garbage. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Why not just tell us what other purpose you think the human individual serves other than reproduction.
The hypothesis of evolution is maximizing the survival of ones species, not reproduction on its own. if you have a group that multiplies like rabbits with little investment in their children vs a group that has less children but greater investment in those fewer children, the latter prevails in the natural selection game.
giving a baby to the modern skank who will become a single mother and raise a fuckup that will be a burden on the society you live in does not advance the species, does not advance her, does not advance the child and sure as fuck does not benefit you to be on child support slavery the next 18 years without any inherent right to raise your own kid. -

in the end, natural selection will do its thing and all the simps will end up where they belong. let the fuckups fail and get taken to the cleaners. -
2020-10-07 at 4:10 PM UTC in why do women wear macho pantsuits?
Originally posted by A College Professor are they compensating for something? why do they want to put on a monkey suit to look like a stupid man. but it would be weird for a man to wear a dress. mitch mcconnel probably wants to wear a dress ,but he doesnt.. because hes not flexing like all the pant suit women are.
except for nancy because she used to be really attractive when she was younger , but the jedis have hidden all of her pictures when she was younger and slick-skinned. hell of a woman.
women have been imitating men since forever. for example, men used to be the ones wearing makeup and messing around with various fashion back in the day, men started getting into dyed hair, piercings, tattoos way before women began noticing the trend and copying it.
they arent creative creatures, all they have done in their entire existence was envy men and copy them. everything men do they perceive as prestigious because deep down they see themselves as the inferior sex that always needs a head start to be equal to men. -

Originally posted by aldra this is the real issue.
when you get to a certain point you need drugs to function properly, and even if you want to get off them you need to be able to function to be able to pay rent and keep the bills paid, so short of taking paid leave (which a lot of people don't have much access to) it becomes very difficult to take the time you need without getting F'd in the A
Very true! but human biology is so unpredictable and fucked up, sometimes for the better. a few years ago i was in a worse state than now. logically i thought "i can do this, i can just taper off slowly" but i needed the exact amount 3 times a day or the suicidal urges returned. i would either be functional or suicidal ,there was no grey area. if i lowered my doses even a bit or tried twice a day instead of three, the depression came back.
then i decided to try once a day for no real reason and i was still functional so i continued this way with no consequence, but anytime i skipped a dose i got a painful reminder. even a whole year later when i felt confident i could quit it, i took just half one day to see what happens. no dice, the suicidal urges came again.
year and a half later, same thing, i feared i would be stuck with it for life. then almost 2 years later, i forgot to dose over the weekends, 2 full days i didnt take it yet nothing happened so i gave monday a shot to see how it plays out. it went smoothly and i havent dosed ever since.
how fucked up yet lucky was that? could not taper down or go cold turkey one day but another random day i could do it just like that without consequences.
human biology is so confusing. -

neither will the common bitch, she will never love you the same way you love her. for women, love is transactional. for men, it is unconditional, we love her just for the way she looks. she loves you for what you can do for her.
