That’s because there are more than a few commonalities between the two. They’re not the same, but horrible lighting, little privacy, contradictory instructions/suddenly changing expectations are frequently used in both

Torture isn’t effective for getting information out of people, but if your goal is to psychologically debilitate people, it’s totally effective

This kills the cancer. Not as quickly as it kills the host, but still pretty soon.

You’re not wrong, but the only thing there that’s not arguably correct is calling hegseth little and I guess misspelling his name.

That’s clearly fighting. I’m not an alt.

But not on the first day, that’s when the news still reports it!

Wait, is there a specific term for a doctor who primarily operates in British English?

Does clickbait have to be misleading? I have always considered anything phrased so as to compel you to read further by omitting the crux of the article to be clickbait, so this would absolutely fall under that. An article with a headline like “never do this while tanning!” that’s about the dangers of citric acid on your skin in the sunlight is a useful, true article with a clickbait title, as another example.

Yeah, most people have to occasionally hurt others, though I’m not sure how they feel about it.

I believe that some people cannot coexist with others without being hurt (eg. imprisoned), but I don’t relish the thought, especially not in the context of war. If I could choose, I’d institute a gift-based Potlach system (but I have no real enforcement mechanism without violence, so…).

To be clear, I’m not being judgmental about this, I don’t think anyone should be judged for their thoughts, I just don’t have those thoughts.

Hey, this is also not a personal attack. I don’t know if I’m the outlier here or not, but I figured I’d mention it and others can weigh in.

I don’t get the urge to hurt people, not that I don’t hurt people, but it’s unintentional or uncomfortable for me. I get the urge to prove people wrong, but I only feel dread when I need to hurt people (not harm them, but I’m a teacher, so I have to have tough conversations with students sometimes).

If you get the urge to hurt people, vote this comment down, if you don’t, vote it up.

That’s how they get you

Because it’s worked out great all the other times the US has done that

It’s also a lot of calories burnt. Like, I would definitely need to double up on what I currently eat in meals at least if I were doing that all day and I already have an active, physically demanding job.

She looks a lot like my stepmom

I don’t know enough mma people to say, honestly. I know jiu jitsu bros, and they tend to be extreme in either direction, but more commonly very cool with women who also do jiu jitsu.

My sister did a fuck ton of martial arts and some combat sports (no MMA), and is pretty thick skinned about sexism. According to her, the same is true for most martial artists and wrestlers, but boxers are more of an even mix.

Edit: maybe it scales with head trauma?

My sister had a classmate whose mother and grandmother each got pregnant at 15. Starting when this girl was 15 and for the rest of high school, they basically never let her be alone with anyone.

She did go a little wild in college, but she was well aware she didn’t want to get pregnant until she was settled.

Edit: this was not intended as a counterpoint to the likeliness of this, both because teen pregnancy has also gone down a bunch since this family got started, and because “an internet commenter’s sister’s classmate” is legitimately more ridiculous than the example relationship I give to discredit urban legends.

Tbh, contact sports seem so much more disparate than non contact sports. Like, I’d expect Roger Federer to respect Steffi Graf (I’m old, okay?), but men’s hockey and rugby players seem less appreciative/respectful towards women’s hockey and rugby players.

I suspect it’s a combination of the relatively greater importance of strength/mass and the heightened aggression involved

No, no, Trojans would have helped prevent the STIs

It’s like nicknames. First it’s Joseph, then Joe, then Napoleon Jonaparte.

Yes, though I would caution you about that level of reductiveness. I know men into Cuckholding and women into cuckqueaning and they’ve got relatively little in common personality-wise. They’re both founded on insecurity, but a kink for nuns and a kink for feet are both founded on a longing for the forbidden and they’re not the same.

Edit: do femme and masc hit you better than women and men?
