People Explain What Things We Need To Stop Normalizing Immediately (40 Posts)

This!!!

Facts don't care about your feelings. Never have, never will.

And tiny minorities who are massively, politically active, can't rewrite the truth.

There's a balance here, because sometimes people's feelings ARE more important than the truth. We have to decide in each situation whether the benefits of telling the truth outweigh the pain inflicted. Often they just don't. People who make a virtue of being a 'strait shooter' who 'tells it like it is' are often just insensitive AH's.

So I'm going to go out on limb here.... GAY PEOPLE.... Generally, some people's feelings deep on the inside are still mixed about the barrier of what is the 'norm'. This is still in the mainstream of life and mentality in 2024. My strongest hero's are Freddy Mercury, Oscar Wilde, Judy Garland etc... These people are not 'odd' they are us. The best of us. Better than you or I. They are our leaders. People that should go down in history as 'The best humankind has to offer'. Nothing. Less. TRUTH is they/we are the backbone of creativity, good sense, aspiration, leadership, logical, f**king thinking... I am not gay, I am a Hetro male that likes women btw.... however, You do your thing at home, I'll do my thing. Truth is, we make a f**king awesome planet together. The truth is... this should not be seen as anything but just F**king normal!! Love you all X

"iT's jUSt mY opiNIoN!" No, it's not just an opinion...basic human rights aren't "opinions".

This includes not accepting rape, torture, burning, and abduction of inccoecnt civilians as "resistance" or freedom fighting. Even if it doesn't sit with your agenda.

Quite the dilemma - We in Germany get told that we have to do more to make the country save for jews (due to our history), LGBQT groups and do more for equality between women and men. On the other hand we have to tolerate a culture that absolutely hates all of those groups and pointing it out gets people painted as Nazis.

"I have a right to an opinion!" "Yes, you have a right to an opinion. You also have a right to a bowel movement. But I don't want either of them in my ear, thank you."

This really depends on where you are. Before the bashing begins let me make a point. If someone goes or moves somewhere that certain things are lawful and acceptable, they have to respect and abide by that that even if they don't agree with it. You can't go somewhere and make everyone play by your rules. If you don't like the culture stay in your own. If you join another culture, their culture becomes yours. Not the other way around.

This.

I hate tipping. All service people complain about it then when it's changed and they're *still* making more than most people (20/hr tested in some places) it's *still not enough*. Just admit you're greedy and you want other people to subsidize your living style based off *my* work. In over 10 years I've been to many resturants, and tipping 20% is absolutely insane for the *vast* majority of places I've eaten, let alone to now be expected to tip at coffee shops, pick ups, ect. Maybe if I was outright tipping the cooks, or the people roasting beans. Stop working for businesses that take advantage of your work if you believe 7.25 isn't enough. I did, that's why I haven't eaten inside a resturant in almost 2 years. Tipping used to be for an exceptional service. Now I'm expected to tip the waitress who hasn't come to my table in 45 mins while my drinks are empty, food still isn't here, and the place is deserted.

This tipping-culture is way out of hand. Time for it to stop.

In better restaurants, where hours worked, are rarely a "normal" week, a higher wage wouldn't even come close to making "enough". Tips are essential!

A tip should be an extra gratuity for good service. Not an essential part of the base pay.

Be a man. You must be swift as the coursing river

If we don't allow men to feel and express sadness, fear, or emotion in general, we are not allowing them to fully experience life as human beings.

The sad part is that men ourselves are the biggest issues with perpetuating this s**t. How many kids are duped by the Andrew Tates and alpha dipshits into feeling this way? Too many.

In Korea, we have a saying that "a man should only cry 3 times in his life. Once, when he is born, second, when his mother dies, and third, when his father dies." It's ridiculous.

I present Andy Reid as an example of a victim of emotional abuse, assault , and battery committed by another man this evening. Abuse is abuse, even when we don’t recognize it as such.
