All religions suck btw I am agnostic but it doesn’t make sense trying to pretend like one religion is morally superior.

Political Question Why aren't more people commenting on the irony that anti-immigration voters in California are voting for an immigrant, Steve Hilton, for governor?

• Upvotes

Is the "unique prestige" of British immigration still so strong in the US and California that people can't see the irony? Can we just admit that all immigrants are not created equal in the mainstream US mind?

To those who I'm sure will say, "He's a legal immigrant. Those voters are only against illegal immigration." Nah, I don't buy the truth of the last part of that. And not buying that the typical Hilton voter sees him as less "foreign" than Xavier Becerra, despite Hilton living halfway around the world until 2012 and Becerra being born and raised in California.

General Question Why does it seem like attractive women get treated worse in relationships?

0 Upvotes

I (30F) don’t consider myself a conventionally attractive woman by any standard, yet I’d say most people I’ve dated have treated me exceptionally well despite that, and I’ve never been cheated on or abused AFAIK. I see a lot of posts, screenshots etc. of beautiful women sharing stories of being absolutely berated by their partners, getting called names, having their physical appearance/weight insulted, even being physically abused and I don’t understand it, especially when they stay with them. Why wouldn’t the man want to treat a beautiful woman like gold, and why would such an attractive woman settle for being treated like dirt when she could have so much better? What’s the psychology behind this?

General Question Mexico City just doesn't interest me and I kinda feel bad about it. Am I weird?

1 Upvotes

Mexican-American here, grew up in Monterrey and moved to Texas when I was a teen.
I've only been to Quintana Roo, Puerto vallarta, BCS, and ofc Nuevo Leon.

Even though I can hop on a $70 flight and be there in an hour, I just cannot get to go to Mexico City.

I already looked up itineraries, stuff to do, hotels, etc. And there's literally nothing I find interesting. I get tons of FOMO since everybody loves the city, there's so much to do, the food is good etc etc but I just don't find the appeal!

You know what interest me? Going to Big Bend National park, Chiricahua NP, and camping in a random forest in New Mexico with my dog. Nobody considers this a vacation.

Am I weird?

Political Question What is with this recent trend of people trying to rehabilitate George W Bush's image on Reddit?

25 Upvotes

Pretty much every post I've seen that features him is loaded with comments like:

  • "He was a bad president, but the kind of guy you could sit down and have a beer with"
  • "I don't think he was a bad person, just misled by the people around him"
  • "He did the best he could considering the cards he was dealt"

Or some other variation of that plus a nostalgic longing for the days of his administration. This is the same guy who opened up torture camps (literally), bombed/invaded a sovereign nation under false pretenses, created a mass surveillance program on the citizens of the US, and plunged the globe into a deep recession. Amongst other things

I never thought I'd see the day where people defended Dubya on this website. Please do not whitewash and rehabilitate the war criminal

General Question Are Europeans honestly unable to grasp the size of a country like the US, or do they just play up this stereotype online for fun?

0 Upvotes

I keep seeing this over and over again: Europeans, usually British people (but maybe I just see them more because of the language commonality), saying they can't believe/understand/grasp how big the US or Canada is.

Do they not have maps? Can they not use the various features of Google Maps? Is the size reality really something that takes multiple efforts to understand? Do they not grasp how big the earth is, and thus that some countries are also going to be quite large?

For people who like to accuse others of geographic incompetence and lack of awareness, are they not embarrassed to admit this publicly? I find this whole phenomenon totally baffling.

General Question How to not let it get to me girl saying my dick is 2 inches and the sex was horrendous?

• Upvotes

Basically, I lost my virginity to this girl. The first time we had sex, it didn't last all that long, but once it was over, she cuddled up to me and said, “You felt so good.” She was shuddering from the waist down, she said that just happens when she has sex, so I thought I did something right. The next time we had sex, she was all over me and it was fine. Then the last time, she was all over me again, but she wanted to go again immediately after because I finished quick again. During this second go, it lasted a bit longer, but I still stopped soon. She wanted me to get on top, but as I tried to maneuver myself with my pants still around my knees, I went soft. She noticed, and then we stopped. As I was getting dressed, my ego was crumbling. Like, how the fuck did I just go soft? She just said, “You’re so handsome.” We continued hanging out for a few weeks before she decided she wanted to go back to her ex, whom she had been with for eight years. She’s 21 and I’m 19
This was months ago, but now all of a sudden, I find out she’s telling people my dick was this 🤏 big and that the sex was really, really bad. I’d never been insecure about my dick because I thought it was fine great, even. But it’s been crushing me this last week, and I can't exactly talk to her about it since it has been so long. I don't know if she was only being nice in the moment trying not to hurt my feelings, but I will say the end of our “thing” was not good at all she lied so much and played the victim acting like her throwing me under the bus wasn’t her fault or her decision it was really bad. Idk what to think i accepted that she may have simply wanted him back and now suddenly the reason why i was discarded was my dick.

Edit: I would like to point out my dick is more than 6 inches that is objective I’d only measured it this week because hearing this made me so insecure

General Question What's the point of enriching uranium?

0 Upvotes

Obviously, when looking to create an atomic bomb, you need a large amount of fissile material. But why bother using extremely complicated and expensive isotope separation when there are reactor designs like CANDU that can run on natural uranium concentrations? It's much easier to chemically extract Plutonium-239 bred from Uranium-238 than it is to painstakingly sort U-238 from U-235, and when using reactors that can operate on extremely low enriched fuels, you can avoid enriching uranium at all. So why do governments trying to aquire nuclear weapons, like Iran, bother with enrichment?

General Question Does anyone know why there's a random name on this headstone?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Any gravestone etiquette connoisseurs that can answer this riddle...

Located in Minnesota, there are several names on this headstone with their respective dates of birth and death on either side of them. (Below in the case of "Jacob"). Andre and Dortha were the parents, the other three were their children.

So....why would there be a random name on the bottom, and no dates?

For reference, these are family members where all names are known except Guro's. Findagrave lists some children of hers, but whether it's accurate is unclear to me.
