Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

You're equating slavery to supporting a political candidate which is pretty disgusting.Btw many people supported the candidate because of terrible leadership failures on the left. Trump is a byproduct of bad policies all around. Nobody would have considered him if the left hadn't failed so epically. Don't get me wrong, Trump is a narcissistic idiot but the left failed us in more ways than one. (-8)

Actually, just no.Trump is not the result of failings on "the left". Trump is the natural end of the trend in the Republican party that has been happening since Reagan. The pattern has been consistent. Reagan, Bush, Bush, and Trump have made terrible domestic and foreign policy decisions that have royally screwed us over. Each worst than the last. Democratic presidents have not been perfect, but they have been doing their best to pick up the pieces of inherited disasters, and then they get blamed for the fallout of decisions their Republican predecessors made that were not easily fixable. Clinton was the only President in the past four decades to balance the budget and start to decrease the nation debt which skyrocketed under Reagan. Obama was left with remnants of a phony war that W started. People like to blame Obama for increasing debt, but a lot of the increase in his years in office was consequence of things he couldn't control. People blame Biden for inflation that is a direct...

Mmm sounds like you're uneducated on Donald Trump being a racist. Let me educate you….Trump invited leaders of the HBCUs to the White House in his first term, proceeded to help get them more funding. The Platinum plan was drawn up to create safer urban neighborhoods with the highest policing standards. Introduced new criminal justice reform most of which greatly affected the black community….all of this comes at a time when the Left is telling you he's racist, but Americans that have interacted with Trump tell you he is one of the most genuine humans in the world. Which is shown by his Numerous Humanitarian awards/nominations. (0)

Assuming he isn't racist, who cares? What I can't stand about the man is that he is weak as a human and he misuses his power for stupid stuff. I am a Republican but I walked away from Trump when I heard him badmouth John McCain's POW status…this tough talk from the coward who failed to serve in the same war. Taking away security details for his enemies is petty and immature (MAGA morons wont care to admit it but Biden reauthorized those security details…that is how a real man behaves…you rise above the petty crap).Like Trump MAGA losers are all tough at the keyboard but everyone I have met IRL can't even look me in the eye when I ask challenging questions, like the McCain scenario…one guy, a vet, denied it happened then when I showed him the clip he made some lame claim about editing or whatever.I heard the quote as it aired in real time. Trump is a coward.Character counts. (1)

Yeah, frick freedom of speech!! (-12)

"oh no, I have to care about other people to be accepted by society"!!!!!!!!!!!! If you sit there and spew hatred and then people genuinely don't like you as a person, then people DONT want to hear you, be around you, or spend time with you dude. That's just reality and basic human relationships. If you cannot reconcile that concept, consider thinking that if you are not capable of considering the other person when you interact with them, you're probably stuck on caveman shit. Genuinely - if you are an unkind butthole in this current society - people don't want to spend time with you. That's the end of it. They don't want to hear from you because you think LESS of real human beings. Because you think that poor people don't deserve the same respect and dignity as other human beings. Because you are willing to condemn innocent people to death because of their religion, race, sexuality, or otherwise. That is NOT the human connection or intended experience. "Do no harm" commit no evils, ... (3)

!nonchuds

surprise it's almost all moids with one token post wall foid! (and she's a yuropoor, is it our very own @JingleWhales?)

!chuds !nonchuds genuinely what prompts even the most lefty leftoid to say shit like this.

recently I read a whore justify herself with evolution, and learned that the peepee displaces other men's c*m because we're born for free love. We're whores at heart, every womyn was a frick machine until fundies put us everywhere in chains.

This is based on a few studies, here's one

Results obtained by modifying an artificial peepee suggest that the coronal ridge is an important morphological feature mediating semen displacement...

basically they made fleshlights and tested how well the plastic peepee removed semen from the tube. that's the kind of hands-on science we know and love

but think about it, does semen really stay in there long enough that "displacing" after has a huge advantage? Certainly it's useful, but how much? insemination happens pretty quickly so the lingering sperm probably isn't going to inseminate her if the ejaculation didn't. And even then the rest is fully removed in five days. So either everyone was having Aella gangbangs, the returns are diminishing, or perhaps there's an alternative explanation.

The ones I found were "Structural Integrity" and "Pleiotropy" but those are anti-climactic

With the help of my friends, I've erected a fourth, and final, theory.

The blood plunger

BLOOD is a bigger barrier to insemination than sperm I think. Since we've not always had lovey-dovey foreplay for some enjoyable, LUBRICATED s*x, I imagine vaginal trauma was more common. I.e.

After all, what big "sexual ingredient" isn't necessary at all for impregnation?

That's right, the female orgasm.

Now look, I'm not exactly happy with this conclusion, I'm not an incel I have female friends, r*pe is bad.

But I do believe I'm onto something here for a PURELY MECHANICAL QUESTION without any ethical extensions.

A question posed and answered in the spirit of Die fröhliche Wissenschaft

In short, the blood produced during s*x would prevent or severely inhibit insemination, and the peepee plunges it out.

Have I convinced you?

Now I'm not a scientist, but I do know the contact information for the real scientists who've published the original studies, and I drafted the following:

I honestly just want to bounce this idea off you guys and get some help with the draft. how well would an academic receive this

well at least it's a slight break in the constant stream of "church affiliated libertarian r*pes kid" (R/STILLNOTADRAGQWEEN)

We've covered this in the past with:

• /r/starbucksbaristas: "we're so tired of homeless people overdosing in our stores". Also /r/starbucksbaristas "noo you can't ban homeless people from our stores, they're people too "

• /r/starbucksbaristas are still defending the homeless

They're still mad... OP has written an absolute wall of unhinged nonsense so let me pick out the key bits:

But this back to Starbucks stuff might have me at my breaking point. It all feels so illogical, it's not even smart capitalism the direction we are going. It's money-hungry greed packaged in between "we care" statements and vague community pledges.

"Back to Starbucks" = "you can't be in a Starbucks unless you're a paying customer", with the aim of returning Starbucks to the local coffee shop feel it once had, rather than a homeless daycare centre.

Anyway, since the reset, we have turned homeless people away from getting water, people who haven't purchased anything away from using the bathrooms, there was one woman holding her tooth asking for a cup of ice because she went to the dentist that we turned away because she didn't want to buy anything.

lmao you wouldn't give a woman holding her tooth some ice? YTA

One customer in the drive through wanted a cup of water and even offered to pay for it without any way for us to charge for just a single plain cup of water.

Who the frick goes to a drive thru for a cup of water?

What's stopping someone from buying a petite vanilla bean scone or avocado spread, using the restroom, then asking for a refund?

Nothing, but a homeless person won't do that.

I've seen SSV's be yelled at, baristas be heckled and given attitude

But I bet you haven't been assaulted by a homeless person or had to clean up the bathroom after an OD since the change.

If a human being is thirsty, I will give them water. If a human being is hungry and I can give them food, I will.

Work for UNICEF then.

Our CEO private jet commutes to work. He makes tens of thousands a second.

Calculator needed.

Dont believe it will evee be a coffee house. the way the company has gone downhill since howie left. we are far too gone to return back to pur roots. our roots are buried deep and new ceo is very focused on profits than experience

The new CEO is actually laser-focused on the coffee house experience, these baristas are deranged.

Someone tells OP they're wrong but they're buried at the bottom of the thread:

The bathroom policy has been good overall actually in my district. I'm in Manhattan. And while it is annoying sometimes to tell people they can't use the bathroom, and some people have an issue, it's MUCH better than dealing with: Guy who comes in weekly and takes all the napkins out of the dispensers and throws them all over the floor; the guy who would "take a shower" in the bathroom and leave the floor covered in water, and leave his loofah and soap behind; the guy who would come in and ask for a "sample coffee" 5x a day; the guy who would bring in multiple bags of cans and spread them out and organize them on the floor; the guy who would roll up his blunts and have loud explicit phone calls, and the NYPD said they couldn't do anything lol; the guy who would stay in our bathroom for 20 mins, and when we'd ask him to get out he'd sit at a table and put his needles on the table while he slept; the lady who would sit in the lobby all day and occasionally yell and insult customers

For context, if you use the progressive stack award, your posts are (temporarily) treated as if they have 2x their actual upmarseys. This was thought of as so powerful by the jannies that it costs 1500 coins for just 6 hours. Now, if you make a post that gets 140 upmarseys, and at the same time someone makes an effortpost that gets 30 upmarseys, or chud ragebait that gets 50 upmarseys, your post will actually be below them on the front page. In fact, since upmarseys are basically normally distributed (getting 30 upmarseys is pretty average, getting 90 makes yours one of the top posts of the day, getting 150 would make it the top post of the day), any sort of multiplier would change the content of the front page immensely, let alone a multiplier so large it treats mediocre effortposts and slightly above average chud ragebait as superior to the actual top post as chosen by users.

The fact that /h/chudrama is blocked by default is irrelevant, because most active users have it unblocked, so even if you block /h/chudrama every post you make is still effectively being deranked. And besides, there are plenty of people who want to read /h/chudrama and not have it be literally the only thing they see on the front page

At launch, Starfield was celebrated but it didn't take long before a hate campaign began against it and people started posting tons of negative reviews of the game. They complained about ridiculous things like the lack of vehicles (plenty of games don't have vehicles), and the lack of things to do (this is false, there is plenty to do).

The truth is that people had unrealistic standards. They wanted 1000 individually crafted planets and when they realised they were procedurally generated, people lost their shit without realising what an immense undertaking they were asking for. Starfield manages to provide a good variety of games and exploration always rewards you with amazing sights and plenty of opportunities to take photos. At the end of the day, Starfield provides more content than 99% of games out there. It is better than No Man's Sky @BILLYBIGBOLLOCKS. How you can you visit places like Neon and Akila and complain that the game is empty? There are so many settlements with an incomprehensible amount of content. There is also a host of lifeforms to discover and they all behave differently, making it exciting to explore the wild parts of planets.

People complain that many of the missions are fetch quests, but they fail to understand that much of the fun of the game comes from the journey. Traveling to different places, speaking to different characters and discovering new things is exciting, and fetch quests expose you to new content.

What I find strange is that people complain about the writing and the story. This is the best writing in a game recent. It's so fun talking to different characters because they all feel so different and they have varied motivations. I can't wait to meet new characters and it's exciting to pick what I'm going to say to them. I enjoy the persuasion situations where you have to pick the right thing to say to convince a character to do something. These are high stakes situations and I don't save scum so I deal with the consequences of my actions.

I will admit that the game is not perfect and there are some flaws. For example, there are a lot of loading screens. Secondly, 60fps mode isn't particularly stable. However, none of these shortcomings tarnish the game in a major way. Furthermore, Bethesda has listened to fans and updated the game to give players plenty of the features they have been asking for, making the game even better than it was at launch. That is a beautiful thing to do, and not many developers would do that. Thank you Todd Howard.

The hate campaign against Starfield was started by CHUDS who were mad that there weren't many conventionally attractive women in the game. You could see it on /v/, and it eventually spread to Reddit where chuds latched onto the narrative.

https://old.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/16c0z6n/why_are_all_the_girls_ugly/

https://old.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/16g935o/why_are_the_npcs_so_darn_ugly/

Of course, this discourse spread to Steam where a bunch of reviews started complaining about ugly NPCs. You can tell its chuds writing these because they use terms like "woke".

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/4035850502436992213/

From here, it became easy to just call the whole game "woke" and the kinds of criticisms that came from this were ridiculous. People were mad that you could choose they/them pronouns!

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/3824173464657206483/

So with all this needless hate gathering around Starfield, it became a hot topic in the culture wars which led to the torrent of bad reviews. That is why there is a negative perception of the game. However, for those of us who know what the game is trying to be and are playing it with a pure heart, we recognise that Bethesda has bestowed a masterpiece upon us. This is a beautiful game with so many twists and turns. It's innovative, unorthodox, yet so effortlessly fun.

I'm feeling quite sad right now because @ToeBeans ignored me cruelly and I don't know what I did to her to deserve this treatment. However, I'm about to play Starfield and it's going to make me feel much better. I might not have true friends online, but when I'm playing Starfield, Sarah Morgan and Sam Coe are my best buddies and they'll never desert me. Here are some of my favorite screenshots from the game. Looking at them helps me feel better.
