Topic | Would you be down for a third term for Joe Biden? |
asdf8562 04/25/23 10:58:00 PM #27 | It's unconstitutional. Also anyone that old needs to start thinking about retirement. TBH, he should retire 2024. Dudes like 80, which is like borrowed time for men. That being said, I'd vote for whoever the 2024 dem nominee is. So if it's Biden, then I'm voting Biden. |
Topic | How's your vision? |

asdf8562 04/25/23 10:51:59 PM #41 | Vyrulisse posted... Japanese work culture is incredibly toxic and stressful I've read and been told by someone that lived it for over a year.This. If you think America's hustle culture is bad, Japan, China and Koreas hustle culture is way worse. |
Topic | I'm learning a lot about buying houses. |
asdf8562 04/25/23 10:43:31 PM #31 | Payzmaykr posted... Honestly, it seems like youre pretty good at this. If you want to get some extra practice, you can buy a house for me.I'm guessing it depends where you live. Without dropping my exact location, I'm a Marylander who lives in a populated location. I purchased my home just last year and I didn't have to go through a lot of competition to get it. The only downside I went through was I had no negotiation power in making the owner pay closing costs. I ln particular I remember there was some kind of $20 charge for something (can't remember the specifics) and my agent was like the seller demands I pay it or no deal. I just remember being like, "over 20 f***ing dollars they are willing to not sell? Whatever...." Was some kind of charge that they had to make some kind of addendum that I'd cover the $20. Anyway I was hoping to save a few thousand on closing, ended up covering about 20k in closing, so wasn't too thrilled about that. |
Topic | Can you separate the art from the artist? |
asdf8562 04/25/23 11:39:03 AM #61 | Depends. I don't have a one size fits all answer. Honestly depends on who the artist or company or entity is, what's their product, and how much I care. Like I can certainly do without Twitter and care enough to not promote his website as "the only way to get news." That said, there's other companies with issues I somewhat care about, but not enough to stop using their products. |
Topic | How do you feel about oral sex? |
asdf8562 04/24/23 2:07:48 PM #40 | nononom0use123 posted... On a woman? Gross? Fun? Satisfying?No. A woman can do whatever she wants, but my mouth isn't going down on anyone's ass or genitals. But you do you. |

asdf8562 04/24/23 8:23:43 AM #102 | pegusus123456 posted... Aloy's not even a tomboy in the context of the world she's in. She's from a matriarchal tribe that others talk about as if they're Amazons. Aside from the Carja who are moving away from the sexism, every tribe we've seen is egalitarian with both men and women being in the military. Her physical feats aren't unusual for women in her world, it's only the fact that she accidentally found an iPhone as a kid that sets her apart.Reading too deep into my post.... |

asdf8562 04/24/23 8:06:04 AM #99 | Alucard188 posted... I played a lot of Horizon Zero Dawn, and she never projected any bit of sexuality to me. I'm surprised buddy up there is whinging about obvious gay stereotypes, when they probably aren't as obvious as he thinks they are. Gay people can look and act however they want.If I had to guess he's getting at her tomboy nature. But like I heavily implied in my first post, being a tomboy doesn't mean a woman's gay. It was completely news to me she was gay as I found out just yesterday. |

I don't make enough at my current job to afford a decent house by myself.If you don't me asking how much do you make and where do you live? (State) You'll find a house, just be patient. Also don't get strong armed into not taking your time in picking. |

asdf8562 04/22/23 8:13:40 AM #14 | A girl who acts likes she's a 10 and believes everyone should simp for her isn't attractive at all honestly. Seems like the kind of girl you'd fuck, but never start a family with. |
Topic | Plus sized lady wants free extra seats on airplanes. |
asdf8562 04/19/23 8:08:13 AM #111 | I look at body positivity going too far. Obesity is not healthy, and the idea that people have no power to control their behavior is rampant. The idea that you can't control obesity is just not true. No we shouldnt be fat shaming people, but we have reached a point of confusing criticism that most people can and should try to get healthier, with shaming. Nor is it a phobia of fat people. Especially when people fall back on anecdotal extremely rare cases that more than likely does not apply to most people who are obese. |

Topic | Do you believe men should pay for the first date? |
asdf8562 04/10/23 5:19:12 PM #9 | No_U_L7 posted... post the convoLong story short, she wasn't thrilled he made her pay, and I didn't side with her on it. Conversation was brief, but was still funny to me. After she was done telling me the guy made her pay, she had a stink face when I responded, "Everyone's a feminist on a date until the check comes." Her stink face was just hilarious to me which sparked this topic. I didn't really debate her on it though, just left the conversation at that. But she definitely disagrees. I won't debate it here myself, but I am lil invested to see where CE is on this given the age of feminism and the year 2023. |

Topic | Do you prefer being a little warm or a little cold? |
asdf8562 04/10/23 7:17:19 AM #2 | Prefer cold any day all day. I can fix being a lil cold, I just put on a few layers. I can't fix being a lil too hot. My temperature pallette runs kind of hot all year, so the cold doesn't bother me all that much. The summer time though is dreadful, especially when trying to get a good night sleep. |

Topic | Cash App founder who got stabbed begged for help but bystanders ignored him. |
asdf8562 04/06/23 11:45:38 AM #28 | Nirvanas_Nox posted... So your saying that if you got stabbed and you came up to my car for help it's OK for me to just drive off and leave you to bleed out on the curb? Nah dude that ain't right. I'd open the door help in and take the person to the hospital like a decent person.You say this, but pretty words mean very little when actually faced with dilemma and not knowing the full picture like we are doing reading the aftermath behind a computer screen. We can read the full or better picture of the situation and better assess the situation. We know who the victim was, we know the victim is truly an actual victim and not some elaborate rouge (some criminal do put on drama club productions to get their mark), we know he posed no threat to yourself and anyone in the car, we know he likely wouldn't bring future criminal activity to your doorstep. In some neighborhoods, its even worse with unspoken rules that can lead to more danger to you and your loved ones if you get involved. There's just so much we know since we are reading the aftermath that someone in the moment would not know. While its definitely tragic, there are multiple reasons why bystanders try to ignore a situation out of self preservation. |

Topic | What do you think of Joe Biden's economy? |
asdf8562 03/29/23 6:24:43 PM #40 | Autocraticus posted... Gee what could have happened in 2020 to cause such a large unemployment spike? Life truly is a mystery.You missed my point, and who I was responding to. Completely. Trump was not the reason unemployment rates were low. Trump loved to claim he had record low unemployment. Unemployment has been lowering at the same trajectory since early Obamas administration. So when Trumplicans like to claim ridiculous things like Trump was great for the economy, the point you missed was that graph shows just how absurd that claim is. On the contrary he and Republicans was actually bad for the economy the moment they started passing anything. Especially around when covid hit with their policies helping the rich and their rhetoric around covid making shit even worse. |
Topic | What do you think of Joe Biden's economy? |
asdf8562 03/29/23 6:14:02 PM #38 | LightHawKnight posted... I mean the president kinda does in so far as every single republican president for the past few decades has tanked our economy and the Democrat who takes over has to fix it, only for it to be destroyed again. Really dont get how anyone can think republicans are fiscally responsible when all they do is tank our economy.We agree Republicans tank the economy and Democrats have to clean it up. However that's more to Republican controlled Legislative branch passing destructive legislation and a Republican President signing shitty policy into law. That or its enough Republicans in Congress to fillerbuster any progress. Which is a very important detail that needs to be understood. I know people like to blame the president for everything, but in truth he cannot actually unilaterally pass laws to improve or destroy the economy. Voters have a nasty habit of forgetting the Legislative branch and how that branch of government works and controls a lot as well. Fancying the President of the United States as some almighty king with a magic lever, button or pen in the Oval Office that can unilaterally control everything. |

There is no magic button in the WH to make it go up and down. Second, Trump did absolutely nothing to make the economy strong. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/7/3/AAZcyuAAEVKp.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/7/0/AAYK8WAADfPC.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/6/8/AAYK8WAADfPA.jpg And the last picture was BEFORE covid btw. |

I watched 1 or 2 episodes and just couldn't. I'm not against fanservice, but when the fanservice is gratuitous, it's fucking annoying for me. Was like the first or 2nd episode with the main guy just outright groping the woman. |

asdf8562 03/29/23 12:55:44 PM #45 | Prestoff posted... This, though you still see it in anime's and it kinda gets really annoying. Like you'll have the "lovable pervert" character constantly sexually harassing a female character only for them to "beat them up" and the character just keeps on doing it because it's played for laughs.I definitely remember my share of annoying perverts in anime. The same tired and annoying gags that comes with cringey fanservice. |

asdf8562 03/29/23 8:10:08 AM #320 | BeantownHero posted... Find a server who went to their bosses and asked them to make up the difference on a slow week...The naivete ITP thinking restaurant workers uniquely face struggles, and that anyone else's struggle doesn't matter as long as the resteraunt worker is doing well. It's not on the grocery store cashier, or maid service worker, or personal care worker, or any other crappy job worker to make sure if he/she ever eats at a restaurant that the restaurant worker makes more than they do or makes their normal above wage in tips. Nor is restaurant workers the only ones "treated like crap constantly have rude costumers yelling at them for things that are not their fault and all while making crap pay." They are not the only ones who have employers who break the law by not paying their staff. It doesn't matter how many years you have in the game nor does it matter if you are use to making 13, 15, 25 or whatever above minimum wage after tips. The employer by law is required to make sure you are paid minimum wage if tips are short (not anything extra). The employer is to blame if they break the law and don't pay minimum wage when tips are short. The employer is to blame for a non livable wage. Not the customers who shocker, have struggles of their own. Struggles that for many include making less than the waitress under the same if not worse conditions. |

Do you watch movies or shows and just say oh who cares what happens it is just a show? If so you do you, I personally like to get invested in the lore a bit, and like to become attached to the characters real or not.You getting overly attached to fictional characters doesn't change you don't have the point you think you do comparing a video game to a hypothetical non fictional friend who was injured and in need |

asdf8562 03/28/23 12:36:26 PM #314 | @acemos to the ppl saying she is not owed moreYour point? She isn't entitled to a tip, nor is her profession the only one "treated like crap constantly have rude costumers yelling at them for things that are not their fault and all while making crap pay" This has been pointed out many times now. To the discussion of a livable wage, I dont think anyone here disagrees on that. However that it still on the employer. It's not on the grocery store cashier, or maid service worker, or personal care worker, or any other crappy job worker to make sure if he/she ever eats at a restaurant that the restaurant worker makes more than they do. The employer is to blame for the bad job. The employer is to blame for a non livable wage. The employer is to blame if they break the law and don't pay minimum wage when tips are short. |
