| You don't actually believe what you're saying. People are calling you stupid but you're just good old fashioned lying. Even if you've never held employment in your life there is no way you think employers just hand out sick days whenever their employees feel like it. Troll on. | |
| "Sorry, the ""her"" in my comment was in reference to the 5 year old daughter - I don't know what the word is for the relationship between a person and their mother's cousin, so I apologize if my ""(her mother's COUSIN?!?!)"" was confusing." | |
| Especially since he's not using protection! The fiancee and any other women need to get tested ASAP | |
| "The only thing that people like this respond to is boldness/ assertiveness. | |
| “This is your fault. You were sexist and shitty. Your apology is lazy and worthless. If you want things to be different, you have to make up for the past. Make Amends.” | |
| To your brothers: | |
| “Our parents were sexist and shitty. They were hurtful and immature. This is Their Fault. Stop defending their shitty sexism. Unless you want to be shitty and sexist as well? Because that’s what you’re telling me- that you want to be shitty and sexist too.”" | |
| "Exactly - she wants a *foster*, not an adoption. I bet she plans to step in and take this child back at some point, not even realising that that's not actually how adoption works." | |
| Almost like you’re paying them to live there (not directly but indirectly) | |
| But they don’t care about upsetting you with this weird and frankly nasty tradition? Except for the mom of course. | |
| "NTA. I agree with you, but imo OP’s sister’s wake up call should have been the **first** DUI, not a subsequent DUI." | |
| "> so I didn't come down right away | |
| Here OP admits that she was aware eating was happening, but she didn't participate out of choice." | |
| NTA your sexuality is your business and gay or not they should not just out you no matter how trivial. | |
| "No. They would argue that Trump intentionally and maliciously caused this mess himself, somehow." | |
| Glad to see this comment here. Definitely lean conservative but there’s a lot more to the post besides liberal hypocrisy. More like hypocrisy in general I’d say. | |
| "My roommates girlfriend was complaining for weeks about how the USA is just too sexist to elect HRC and that the only reason she lost was because she's a woman. | |
| She loathes Le Pen and constantly claims it has nothing to do with her gender. | |
| This kind of cognitive dissonance is *The Onion* material." | |
| "Extremely easy? You haven’t been out of the house to ... well, *anywhere* in the last month I take it? We can’t even get half of Americans to follow the most basic of distancing requests standing in line for a burrito without aggressive defiance..." | |
| My roommates went apeshit when they tried to tell me about systematic racism and “redlining” in 2020. I told them it doesn’t exist anymore and they told me i was racist. The brainwashing is extreme. America is fucked. | |
| "I see. | |
| Might I note the article this very thread is linked to identifies Macron as a quote, ""pro EU centrist"", unquote. In fact a lot of news sources label him either a socialist or a centrist. I was merely using the two most commonplace labels for the new President." | |
| "The right to vote belongs to everyone regardless of their race, sex, ability, religions, and creed. Felons who broke the law and paid their debts to society should not be denied the right" | |
| Yeah but he already had his power. He didnt need to spread leg to get there. Haha | |
| """Honestly, I want to feel angry. I want to feel sad. But all I feel is empty."" | |
| That might be my favorite one yet." | |
| They must really hate black people to think these are white traits. | |
| "Nope lol, same pay, if I was paid overtime it would be more worth it" | |
| I genuinely believe neoliberalism is beat back and wages rise and the welfare state is expanded or we find ourselves under full blown fascism. Communities of color already live under military occupation (it's how they're policed). The surveillance state is omnipresent already. Protests are already largely met with militarized police suppression. Maybe I'm just saying the masked will be lifted and the middle class will get to experience fascism too? But we're definitely in a spot where something will change. Whatever that looks like. The status quo cannot continue. | |
| "I had an interview for a job that was 50-55 hours a week and kept on thinking, ""Why not just hire two people?""" | |
| "It's not about agreeing with me, it's about understanding the truth of the matter, and the picture clearly and simply sums it up. Have a nice day." | |
| "If it's mandatory overtime that results in disciplinary action when not done, then that is simply your contractual hours of work. You should be paid accordingly for that!" | |
| "Yeah, at what fucking gas station do the customers come first? Never been in one where they treated customers with any sort of nicety or urgency. Sometimes they straight up ignore you standing at the register because they're doing other shit and there's nobody else scheduled. That or they didn't show up. You want both done? Hire more people. I would have quit as well. Fuck your boss." | |
| Im definitely NOT like that. I drilled into my daughter to always do something that is fullfilling to her personally and to not EVER allow a workplace or anyone treat you like a subhuman with no dignity! | |
| "Capitalism also pathologizes other personality traits as mental illness. Some conditions like depression and anxiety are natural responses to capitalism. Furthermore, neurodiversity and even simple introversion are treated as illnesses and flaws." | |
| Been like that and worse. Exposure is the only thing that limits tyrants. Exposure to mass disapproval. A millionaire and billionaire doesn't feel tweets or shares. They feel tomatoes thrown by locals at the nice things they have or have on. | |
| "It makes small change, band aid fixes for gaping wounds made by systemic issues. Nonprofits can not and will not change the broken institutions and power structures of capitalism" | |
| "Sounds alot like communism to me. ""Believe what I believe or starve"" your a dick and I hope people find out about you" | |
| It's so sad to hear people say this but I understand wholeheartedly. | |
| "I don't understand people here. They follow a subreddit called confessions and get mad when someone confesses what they've done. | |
| I don't condone what OP did. But they're confessing here because they aren't going to confess to other people. And this subreddit has this purpose." | |
| Those were the best takes. I used to be a fucking mechanical pencil GENIE. Need some led? Pay me in erasers. Want Jessica's fancy pen she got from Office Max while I have to go to target? Done. | |
| Man. This could be a literary phenomenon. Write a book. Have someone write a book. I’ll write your book. We’ll call it fiction and beef it up. You’re golden. | |
| The important thing is that you learnt from your mistake and maybe if you’re still in contact with your friend you could tell him. That would probably really help to decrease the feeling of guilt. | |
| Is there any type of therapy for Pica? It sounds like a horrible affliction that is seriously affecting your happiness and potentially your health. | |
| LOL I was taking a cross country trip from CO to MI when I was 12 and it was midnight or so in the middle of Iowa on I-80. The gas stations were closed and nobody would let me in to use a restroom. So I told my parents I was going to sbit myself. So we stopped on the side of the highway and I relieved my bowels of the demonic diarrhea inside of them on a 45⁰ angled hill. Felt like a million bucks afterward. | |

| Essential oils are so pseudoscience and this thread is full of idiots . Good job ! :) | |
| "How much bad faith does one need to defend Macron these days? He's trying to seduce traditionalist Christians by telling them they were wrongly humiliated. Come back with that empathy defense the day he abandons his massive suggested budget cuts that will impact poor people first, because he shows no empathy toward them and curiously trying to appeal to them with basic decency measures would make him lose all his liberal potential voters." | |
| "Tbh people voted for macron because they are scared. It not really done out of belief, most of the time." | |
| "The far-right usually incorporates left-wing ideas like a working class vanguard, Le Pen is leading a National Socialist party in the literal sense. That traditionally places you further right on the political spectrum than just being a run of the mill Conservative." | |
| I just love how in the minds of some people Conservatism is apparently the same as this shit-tier populism. Especially Conservatives should be put off by people like Le Pen or Trump or the AfD more than anybody else | |
| "[It's funny that the same people that blame immigrants for not assimilating praise Le Pen for refusing to wear a headscarf in Lebanon.](https://twitter.com/androdc/status/861183076579389440) | |
| " | |
| "Thanks, but I'm French too. And I think that you underestimate the anger against the PS and disbelief against Macron. Time will tell I suppose." | |
| "Definitely true, but that would also mean Macron didn't keep his promise to reform the EU. That sort of thing can sway an election." | |
| "Tu le défends, tu connais mal son programme. | |
| > Mettre en place une commission d'enquête parlementaire sur le pillage économique et industriel des dernières années (abandons de fleurons comme Alstom, Alcatel, EADS…) et permettre la mise en examen et la détention préventive des suspects | |
| https://laec.fr/section/16/mettre-fin-au-pillage-economique-de-la-nation | |
| Tu veux que je te cite l'extrait où il dit que Macron, Sarkozy, et Montebourg sont les responsable de l'abandon de Alstom ?" | |
| "If her supporters hate being subservient to the EU so much, why are they so tolerant of Le Pen being subservient to Putin? I just don't get it. | |
| Even if you don't like the EU surely logic dictates that it's better to be a powerful EU member than a Russian lackey." | |
| Im not goign to cry for you. Anybody mentioning Fillon or Le pen would be at minus 30. | |
| "I think the question of a pan-European army will be decided moreso at the ballot box in France and the Netherlands as opposed to what happens in the Balkans. If anything, I could see further conflict (and the potential for more refugees) as a boon for the likes of Marine Le Pen." | |
| "Just because there's no evidence that Russia did the hacking doesn't mean they didn't. There's also no evidence pointing towards another actor. Frankly, considering their other involvement in the election, from financially supporting Le Pen to having ties with Fillon, it's not unreasonable to suspect them. I would also be skeptical of the ardent Putin supporters who always come out on Reddit to defend Putin. They seem to be especially active on this sub." | |
| "The far right still saw a lot of gains. Plus, if the economy goes bad under Macron, then the far right will only get more support." | |
| Is Hollande's government lifting them or are you saying this because the next president is likely going to be Fillon/Le Pen? I haven't seen anything from Hollande or Ayrault indicating they want to drop sanctions. | |
| "I'm not saying Le Pen has no chance, I'm saying that the Russian trolling machine has far less chances of being effective in this context." | |
| Doesn't France have holdings in Latin America such as French Guiana? To my knowledge these holdings are very reliant on support from France. Perhaps Melenchon thinks that joining ALBA would make these holdings less reliant on France all the way across the Atlantic by being able to trade more freely with its neighbors. | |
| "For all things sacred I hope Macron wins. This is the battle that America should had have, the authoritarian right of Trump against the more human anti-establishment left of Bernie Sanders. | |
| " | |
| "> middle eastern countries/african countries/ developing countries | |
| > | |
| > Other countries who suffer from the neo-liberal policies & military aggression imposed by the EU members (which collectively give it a lot more power). | |
| Errr I dunno about that. The only EU countries that did any significant amounts of overseas interventions are the UK and France. From Le Pen's rhetoric about Nationalism and strengthening France's military it sounds like she wants to do *more* of that kind of stuff." | |
| "Who said without France? France and Germany both support this idea, Germany more than France though. But the two countries already have joint military bases. | |
| With Trump and Macron and power, the UK (biggest opponent of more integration) out of Europe, the whole thing might happen faster than previously expected." | |
| "It is important to note that AfD have been losing their voting share, and that in Germany the two main candidates are both European Federalists: Merkel and Schulz. | |
| In France Macron has been gaining a larger and larger lead over Fillon, and vs Le Pen in the second round looks to win by about 20%. | |
| Furthermore Wilders is not even polling first anymore, and nobody will form a coalition with him anyway. | |
| While certain sources are biased, in particular Anglophone sources, the reality is that anti-EU sentiment is not actually that high across the continent." | |
| "Le Pen-Macron would be better in a sense since Macron would have a guaranteed win. On the other hand, it would probably legitimize the FN." | |
| Their election ones are always pretty dope. Too bad they didn't do a Macron v Le Pen one. | |
| America's done it for years. Everyone is better off for it. Glad Macron realizes it's effectiveness. | |
| I'm disappointed the video ends before Macron gives the flower to Trudeau | |
| "Aren't progressives pretty much social dems/left centrists like Obama, Macron? | |
| I though leftist referred to socialists while progressive meant pro-globalisation left-wingers like Obama et al." | |
| Is there an English website with Macron's agenda? I'm interested in what he will do with his majority. | |
| """Wild borders, globalising, immigration, free trade"" - Le Pen accusing Macron of supporting these things. | |
| THIS BUT UNIRONICALLY" | |
| "Not really, which is why I still consider him a dark horse. His only real chance is if he can successfully become the breakaway insurgent character, like Obama in '08 or Bernie in '16. | |
| Can a technocrat neoliberal be a quasi-populist breakaway? Yes. Look at Macron, or, for that matter, Obama." | |
| "Fillon is the closest thing we've ever had to a US Republican, true. Juppé was way more centrist. | |
| Also ""slightly conservative""...the guy's core support was a group of hardcore Christians called *Sens Commun* (in fact, in the last weeks of the campaign, Fillon admitted there would be ministers from Sens Commun in his cabinet...and lost more points). Fillon was as conservative as you can get in mainstream politics here." | |
| "Very few people supported Hillary because she was a woman. They supported her because she was capable and competent while also celebrating the fact that she may have been our first woman president. | |
| On the other hand, Le Pen (not LaPen) is about as dumb as you can get and still run for president. She was destroyed by based Macron in the debate and is about to lose by a huge order of magnitude. | |
| I don't know why trumpets get so focused on the woman aspect tbh. Nuance is dead to 'em apparently." | |
| Yeees! I kind of want to write to that address just to see who it belongs to now. | |
| I worked at the Shack when these were around. Sold out of them every year I was there. | |
| "CREEPY CRAWLERS! I had one of these, but never broke into the edible ones. That oven got hot as fuck." | |
| Yes just make sure to roll down your window and share some with any kids nearby. | |
| "I think it speaks volumes about how we should approach potential crises. The only reason almost nothing happened is businesses everywhere cranked into overdrive to fix their programs so that ultimately nothing would happen. Worldwide, around $200 billion was spent preparing for it. If everyone just sat around and called it a hoax and fear mongering, it would have been very messy. Not all-the-world's-nukes-launching messy, but still bad. the fact that the average person wasn't affected doesn't mean the panic wasn't justified (though definitely exaggerated), it means that all the time and money spent preventing it was worth it." | |

| "Sure. Impeachment *isn't* a criminal procedure. There is *no* protection against double jeopardy. | |
| That said, the Senate GOP is feckless and spineless enough that they're just going to vote to dismiss charges because they acquitted last time and has no interest in actually hearing evidence." | |
| "Have you guys peeked at the conservative subs? They are fucking batshit insane over there. Where is all the evidence of this massive voter fraud they are so sure happened? Fuck, the level of self delusion is unbelievable. I do not understand." | |
| "Don't worry. Plenty of legal relief for corporations who choose to force people to work in close proximity during the pandemic, in the form of immunity from litigation. | |
| You know, the important stuff." | |
| "You know for a fact she won't be ""out of it"" by Super Tuesday. Your litmus test needs to be more strict. You should expect her to win one of the first four states if she's going to be the nominee. If she comes in with a bunch of third place finishes, why string it along past Super Tuesday? You're strengthening Biden at that point by increasing the likelihood of a brokered convention. | |
| That said, if she wins one of the first states, I have no problem with you voting for her. Go nuts." | |
| "Guys. Telling Arizona doomers to stop dooming isn't going to keep them from dooming when the thread is moving and dooming this quickly. | |
| Side note : STOP DOOMING ARIZONA. everyone is expecting the final skew to benefit Biden, and Trump needs to over perform in historically democratic counties, with mail in ballots in order to win. We have zero reason to beleive this is possible giving the trend of these votes thus far." | |
| "103 Congresspeople are really close to calling for, and hence being charged with, sedition." | |
| "Pretty sure he swore an oath, so his inaction can definitely be interpreted as treason. Plus the reasons we still don’t know why he didn’t, and still hasn’t done anything about it." | |
| "So change it then. | |
| Misinformation is butt fucking your country to death. | |
| I sincerely believe it's an existential threat." | |
| "We're not like the right. We can't just do it with a shit-eating grin on our faces. We have morals based on empathy and compassion rather than self-righteous, self centred ones." | |
| "Never has America came close to a president this fundamentally, tragically and apologetically flawed in so many ways. It's hard to comprehend how it came to this." | |
| "Yikes this so reminds me of my parents. There’s definitely something someone isn’t telling you and possibly also something your dad hasn’t told anyone. Do what I did: get yourself therapist you can trust, that way you’re prepared for whatever else comes your way" | |
| Yes this is in no way an overstatement. Sexually deviant behavior for sure. | |
| "To be honest, I’d be questionable of ANYONE who doesn’t step up for their friends when someone disses them. Here there is the added element of race, which gives you an added element of hurt. But bottom line- this person let their partner shit talk you. That’s not cool." | |
| A lack of communication also isn’t a yes. Trying to find “yes” where it doesn’t exist is something rapists do. | |
| "Lol get out of here with this clownery. Please be nicer daughter; im too scared to lose you. | |
| If you love your kid, you'll do whats best for her (not letting her get away with entitled and childish behavior). It is her choice to destory their relationship not his. Your solution is a non solution dressed up in feel good psychology (am a psychology undergrad so I'm not clueless in human interaction)" | |
| "I know it’s a stereotype but isn’t he just the stereotype of an engineer? Logical thinking, all feelings forgotten." | |
| "Go to womens help. There will be something like that near you. They will listen. | |
| Set up a new bank account if you share one with him. Change your address for correspondence to a friends house. Start moving things you want to keep out to a safe location (a bit at a time). | |
| Get a lawyer. Get ready to leave. Dont talk to him about divorce, just walk. Save your kids. Make your family listen, they will." | |
| "You tried to initiate sex the *next day*? After she thought she murdered you? Wow. Okay, OP. I get that you have sexual needs, but she's traumatized right now. She needs way more time than the two days you gave her to get over it. You assuring her that everything's okay doesn't help, because it's not. You're dismissing her real feelings." | |
| "That 400 should be considered part of your income. What color is the sky in his world? By his logic, you shouldn’t pay anything for rent because he makes so much more than you." | |
| "What’s your issue with letting her pick the ring? | |
| A possible compromise is that she could pick out a few favorites and you choose one." | |
| "She's smarter than Trump and therefore more dangerous. | |
| Edit: Missed a letter. Also yes I know comparing her to Trump is not a good base haha, but she does actually have political prowess which should scare the shit out of people considering her ideologies and opinions. While Macron did win, 34.5% for Le Pen is still way too much and it's worrisome." | |
| "lol, she totally half-assed that attempt at pandering to French Jews: | |
| [Marine Le Pen Denies French Guilt for Rounding Up Jews](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/10/world/europe/france-marine-le-pen-jews-national-front.html?_r=0) | |

| " | |
| "This isn't about having different issues. Le Pen's platform is extremely violent. Advocating for that violent platform should not be met with kindness. It doesn't deserve it. | |
| You are privileged enough that you will not be affected by this violence but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Your apologia is itself terrorism." | |
| "Lol, the ""globalism"" originated in the classical liberals' revolutions in the mid-1800s as an option for mercantilism. Since then every mainstream economic theory has advocated free trade; including Keynesians, Friedman/Chicago boys, and Austrian economics. It's mainly far leftists and now the nationalist right who have opposed it (in some countries, for example Le Pen and Trump are isolationists but Farage wants more free trade). | |
| Plus, the mainstream EU parties are the center right who are hardcore neoliberals. Neoliberalism is the unholy union between Keynes and Friedman." | |
| I never claimed that the it wasn't true that some emails are false. Are you so emotionally wrapped up in this that your lashing out at people for things they're not even saying. I simply stated the fact that Macron claims they are real and that he seems to be the one who claims that some of them are also false. Is that an issue for you? | |
| Le Pen is pretty liberal... Not as much as her daughter though. | |
| Emails get leaked with embarrassing material for Macron. So Onward! declares there are fakes among them. And you just believe them 100%? You don't think they could possibly be trying to take advantage of your trusting nature? | |
| "Wtf, how are you both wrong? Clinton and Macron are both center left." | |
| "The economy in France needs a reboost. They have tried a socialist(Hollande). That clearly didn't work. Alot of countries has mass-immigration(Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Norway, Holland. etc) They all make it work.. and are probably doing better than France in alot of aspects... Le Pen's only solution is to close the borders and leave the EU, how fuck will that help the economy??" | |
| "Just looking at the top parties in the first election, I don't think Le Pen will win this one. Melenchon's further left voters will probably be quite inclined to vote in favour of Macron to avoid a Le Pen leadership, as well as Hamon's voters who have more in common with him... I think Fillon's voters may be split, as some probably won't want the far right ideology of Le Pen... | |
| Of course, this could all turn out to be wrong, so we'll have to see!" | |
