‘I’m gonna stay in my shitty abusive relationship I’ll just cheat on them’ is not a good POV IMHO.

That’s literally the worst interpretation of the situation.

A bit similar to you I can’t understand people staying in an abusive relationship - as in I can’t imaging this happening to me. Quite similar as I can’t understand how people can have anorexia. Yet it is indisputable that both exist and people are suffering from them. If you don’t have any cases within your family or acquaintances just look it up there are loads of sources both from psych help sites and just novels.

Then your reply should have been along the lines of “Picking a murderer instead of a rapist isn’t better”.

FYI, they have picked a mass murderer more than once in the past. Being person of the year isn’t necessarily an honor.

Your reasoning is apparently based on 2 premises: 1. Cheating is the absolute worst thing a human being can do. Abuse is just another Wednesday. 2. Everything is either black or white. There are no grey areas.

Like most people I tend to give abuse victims a lot of slack. Cheating is bad but in the case of an abuse victim I frankly don’t give a fuck. I’m gonna repeat that: Cheating is bad. In case of abuse however I don’t care.

I’m not sure if your singular focus on creating comes from being cheated on or from having an unusually high tolerance towards abusers.

If it’s the former I’m sorry that happened to you. However you need to stop defending abusers.

If it’s the latter: get bent.

To understand lyrics by Stromae you need to check the French version of the lyrics on genius.com as there are explanations added by friendly native speakers. The texts are full of connotation, context, idioms - I’ve not seen anything like it in any modern song. It’s very cumbersome to translate all of that but I found it rewarding. Especially the lyrics of Papaoutai and Bâtard are masterpieces.

Him going going utterly insane because he is Tiny* Stark but omniscient should be on the card from now on.

But you did. Not in so many words, but you said it.

Where?

I have a ton of empathy for abuse victims.

It’s pretty obvious that you don’t.

Having something shitty done to you, doesn’t mean it’s okay for you to be shitty.

I did not say that.

This person is shitty there for it’s okay to be shitty to them’

I did not say that.

you create a slippery slope that could easily be used by shitty people against good people.

So, according to you malignant narcissists are good people? Okay

I find your lack of empathy for abuse victims quite concerning TBH.

Consider the following (IMO common) scenario: One spouse is abusive and does not care about the children. Maybe it’s a malignant narcissist and their family is like property for them.

The other spouse cares about the children and may be the only one doing any real parenting. Also they suffer the loveless, abusive marriage. At some point they meet someone that cares for them and somehow that leads to cheating before they can escape the marriage.

In this scenario the children should stay with the cheater and the alimony should not be depending on who cheated. (Both IMO of course).

What about Alesia though?

When you live in a shit 2 party system and the choice is between Trump and absolutely anything else - you vote to prevent Trump !!

I’m a European lefty, so I’m probably left of Bernie. Like him I’d have held my nose and voted blue.

Not consuming implying you’re wrong but I’d really like to see that list.

I rather think he’s trying to tank the Tesla stock price lately. No idea why though.

A tortoise? What’s that?

How is being listed there pretending it’s not a thing?

You should check the provenience of your alternatives. Except maybe Vivaldi these aren’t really better.

The difference between linear tv (that your dad watched) and the internet is that there is no alternative to the latter.

That’s an invitation to the general public (including conservatives) to attend (could be online) a Trump rally to see for themselves. It wasn’t an order to go to the opponent (and heckle them).

It’s gigantic difference.

That person and the author of the article obviously suck at reading/understanding graphs. Teen pregnancies did not have a high enough percentage (and it’s good that it went down).

Also, how do you miss the drop in the age range 20 - 24 and the rise in the age ranges above 30. It’s even indicated in the title to “40 is the new 20”.

This is indicative of a bad economy. I bet if you add a graph showing the rise in rent, you will see an inverse correlation.

It’s also the sad reality in basically all places world wide that aren’t in the middle of nowhere.

People sometimes even spend over 50% of their paycheck for rent and most consider this normal.

Hence the downvotes on your comment.
