Im gonna need a map or a family tree or something. I can’t follow who was who.

That’s the whole basis of CBT

I dont think it applies if everyone you know is actually an asshole.

The takeaway from the phrase is just to check yourself and your attitude. Make sure you aren’t the one being difficult before you confirm that all these other people are shit heads.

Juat about self-awareness.

I think thats what they are saying. They were getting the company to pay for their gym membership but as a stipend. So into their bank accounts as part of their salary as a reimbursement for the gym membership they were supposedly paying for. But they weren’t going to or paying for the gym. They were just claiming the money.

Same. Got in early, and it’s just my first and last name. I use it now as a bin for accounts for websites i dont want in my main inbox.

I also have an aol email address from around the same time that im scared to open.

Who knows what’s in there.

I think that being calm makes you more rational and allows you to see when you are wrong about something.

Listen to yourself. Saying things like “you took the wimpy boy bait”

If you knew how pathetic that makes you sound, you wouldn’t say it.

I need to stop responding to you. You’re such a troll.

Wow, triggered much?

Ok, cool. At least i know what kind of person you are. Glad we dont need to continue this.

Also someone else must be following this thread and has been downvoting you. Because i havent been.

Are you ok? How did you get to raising a child in a dystopia from you rolling around on the floor of a car and surviving a wreck without wearing a seatbelt?

Please take a step back from this and look at yourself. You have lost the thread.

You dont wven know how to solve your attitude. I dont have much faith you can solve anything else.

But you are entitled to be wrong, so i wont stop you.

Given that it wasn’t angry or controlling, it wasn’t actually a particularly uptight thing to say. No.

You presented your personal experience as evidence of fact and used that to act condescendingly towards people who care about the safety of their children.

Just think about that for a minute.

I once lit a cigarette, but it didnt stay lit. So i guess that means that everyone who lights a cigarette has to light it twice…

Except that it doesnt and my experience put me in a minority that day.

Thats why we dont use anecdotes as evidence of facts.

People are right to be concerned about safety when the evidence shows that not being concerned causes more deaths despite there being some lucky idiots out there.

I think there’s some wiggle room on “bottom tier,” but yeah, it’s down there somewhere. I dont think KFC is worse, not in my experience. but regardless of this, the meat is real in the UK (at least) and across Europe (at most).

Your individual tastes are subjective. I was arguing that the quality difference of a mcdonalds burger and a restaurant burger is not as big a chasm as OP made out. I’ve worked in plenty of restaurants, and many buy their burgers from the same suppliers that fast food places buy from. It’s the same meat in a different setting. In fact, I used to order food for a whitbread chain restaurant and a greene king chain restaurant, and a lot of it came from the same manufacturers. But people would swear by the quality of the more upmarket whitbread restaurant over the cheaper greene king one.

The McDonalds near me have people on tills as well as the self order machines. And you say they fired them. Can you prove that?

To be clear. I dont think you are wrong, I have no idea, and I am genuinely curious and want to know if that happened. since you claimed it with such conviction, I assume you can give a reference or point me in the direction of the search terms I could use to find a source myself?

Depends where you are from. Food standards are higher in Europe, McDonalds can’t use cardboard for their burgers. Has to be actual beef.

McDonalds isn’t as hated in the UK or Europe as it is in America.

The word bed looks like a bed.

Incredible! Now do matt walsh, steven crowder, ben shapiro or charlie kirk.

Did they seriously just ban people from wearing clothes and putting on makeup?

Will this extend to the performing arts?

Are they completely repressed or just depraved?

I just dont think that morality and politics are the same thing. I can judge a joke for its morality without it being skewed by political bias.

I think that when a former president makes jokes about nancy pelosi’s husband being attacked with a hammer, and people are laughing it up and joining in, that when someone attacks donald trump, and someone makes a joke about it, those same people should be either joining in on the joke or apologising for making their jokes in the first place.

They can’t have it both ways.

This is not a political stance because i could argue that from any side of the street. It is a moral argument that happens to be about politicians.

Replace the two subjects with anyone else, and the argument would be the same.

The thing is that i despise donald trump so much that his jokes just added to how much i dislike him. But its exactly what i expected of him and didnt lead me to despise him. No his actions as a president and as a human over the course of his career and life have lead me to that.

Kyle gas has only ever inspired me to like him. He has been a nice guy and very funny his whole career. So im inclined to think that he didnt actually wish death on the former president. Whereas if tump made the same joke i would be very inclined to think that he meant it, because he has given me very little proof to the contrary.

My view on morality is what’s skewing my opinion here, not my political bias.

My belief that kyle doesn’t wish trump harm is 100% my opinion. It may be a belief i have formed through a “distorted lense”, yes, that is very possible. But to call it a conclusion is not exactly correct. I will change my belief and draw a conclusion when the evidence is presented.

My conclusion about dave is one drawn from statements made by dave. Not his jokes, not his standup. Dave has continually reaffirmed this stance, he denies the existence of trans people and repeatedly states that there are 2 genders. A line he said comes to mind “gender is a fact” its not one incident, its many. I would say to draw a conclusion based of one incident would be “distorted” but to base it on years of anti trans rhetoric is quite a clear and clean cut conclusion to draw…
