Oh my god that was so scary, dark as fuck outside going 55 on country roads when I see a weird dark spot ahead-*oh fuck that’s a family of bears*. I swerved and slammed the brakes and everything is okay but holy fuck. It was a mother black bear and 2-3 cubs, they were super cute for the second I could see them.

I mean, this isn’t a matter of opinion, this is based on how leftists, liberals, and right-wingers answered questions when polled.

An important note to read that and not come back and say something stupid, “liberal” can be a confusing term with multiple meanings. When I say “liberal” and NYT says “centrist” we mean the same thing.

Kicked off by Democrats
I am once again pointing out that liberals are more opposed to democracy than even the far right. Like, quite literally they are less likely to agree with statements like “Every person’s vote should count equally,” “Democracy is a good system,” and “Free elections are an essential feature of democracy”

I think you’re totally right but also think that’s very strange. Personally, I would be more likely to honor my defense pact with my close knit economic bloc than the rabid dogs across the ocean who drag us into shit all the time

Bro idk if you’ve noticed but Israel is not doing well? Like, regardless of if “helping Israel” is good or not, you, Joe Biden, may be solely responsible for its fall.
Their economy is in shambles, horrible brain drain, they don’t have the labor to harvest their crops which are rotting in the fields, and now there are at least 4 countries who want it turned into a parking lot.

From what I understand the EU has a similar “Attack on one is an attack on all” defense pact as NATO. Imagining a world where Ireland drags France and Germany kicking and screaming into a war with Israel.

It doesn’t, and notably there are a decent number of people who are still classified as “Missing” from Katrina. We’ll probably never know the exact number of people killed by this, it’ll be a range

It’s currently ongoing. Same as Katrina they spray paint an X on the house with the number of dead and survivors they find.

It’s not even executives, as much as I love to blame them for anything, it’s actor’s agents. A lot of times it’s in the contracts they negotiate that the actor will appear in a certain amount of promotional material in a certain way, and they all want their face on the poster. And when you have 8 actors who all want their face on the poster, you end up with this garbage

I think he jumbled two different pre-prepared lines and accidentally turned a standard American lightly-fashy answer about supporting Israel and opposing Iran into an insane genocidal word salad.

A majority of Americans support suspending arms sales to Israel. I can’t imagine that’s lower among union members.
Lately I’ve just had a fucking hair trigger on crying and if I ever do anything slightly wrong or upset my partner I feel such overwhelming guilt and start crying and then my partner feels worse for upsetting me and then I feel even worse. Like, this morning we were having a totally normal conversation, but then I said something rude that I didn’t process correctly, she was hurt, and then instead of being normal about it I had a fucking breakdown. Which sucks for me and is really not fair to her. If I mess up cooking food or planning an afternoon I become inconsolable. Especially if it was for my partner, like if I can’t do things right for her what is even the point. I think I’ve cried more days in the last two weeks than I haven’t.
This is fucking insane Post text: Am I overreacting to my girlfriend's experience of assaulting homeless people in the past? **I am not The OOP, OOP is u/Silver_Effective_441** **Am I overreacting to my girlfriend's experience of assaulting homeless people in the past?** **Originally posted to r/AmIOverreacting** **Thanks to u/soayherder for suggesting this BoRU** **TRIGGER WARNING:** >!physical assault!< [Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmIOverreacting/comments/1ebbd7e/am_i_overreacting_to_my_girlfriends_experience_of/) **July 24, 2024** So I've been dating my gf for like nine months. She just recently turned 26 and we were celebrating her birthday. At the end of the night we were both kind of drunk and were talking about our craziest stories from college. She said that her boyfriend at the time and a friend group of guys and girls would sometimes go out at night and "mess with" homeless dudes including beating them up with bats. She also referred to them as junkies and generally dehumanizing terms about them and she even mentioned that it was great stress relief. She can get pretty crazy sometimes and has a bit of a mean streak honestly, but it really shocked me when she said this. I thought she was joking because she was laughing while telling the story. But as I acted skeptical she kept affirming it was true. I just played along and kind of laughed thinking she was just drunk. The next day it still bothered me subconsciously so I asked her again about it casually and she said yeah it was true. The thing that disturbed me though was there was no remorse. She told the story like a "lol good times" kind of story. I think if she was embarrassed about it I would have felt different. I still tried to ignore it over the next days but I obviously wasn't able to because I ended up researching online for information about similar crimes in that city at that time (I didn't find anything btw). Unfortunately I definitely believe her at this point though. She never does these kind of elaborate jokes over days plus I can just tell she's being truthful just knowing her. Anyway, like I said it continued to bother me so I brought it up one more time a couple days later. This time I was more serious, basically just straight up asking how could she not feel bad about that. I was honestly just curious. She got kind of pissed this time. She asked me if it turns me on and that's why I keep bothering her about it. I said no but I just couldn't imagine doing something like that myself so that's why I'm asking. Then she started saying stuff like "why are you judging me about stuff that happened years ago" and saying it's none of my business who she slept with back then or anything else about her life. That's when it occurred to me that she might have thought I was jealous or something about her ex, since he was apparently one of the guys in that group. She might think I'm trying to guilt trip her out of jealousy related to him or something, which I'm not. But anyway, that was how it ended and I'm obviously not gonna bring it up again. Even though I honestly considered breaking up over this, I kind of saw where she was coming from in that it was a long time ago and maybe I'm being kind of a dick for judging her over this? What do you think? I'm no saint at all but I can't help that it bothers me. I can't look at her the same way now and I really think it might be over. Thanks for your advice. **RELEVANT COMMENTS** **pixiekaela** >nor but why wasn’t this a deal breaker for you???? **OOP** >>I think it was. I'm just saying I was second guessing it. It's hard to process. **~** **Virtual-Discipline-1** >Why the fuck are you with a evil person like that damn bro your a POS also **OOP** >>Sorry I'm not trying to justify it it's just really hard for me. But people do change. I was a totally different person in college too. This would be so much easier for me if she was just sorry about it. **pontoponyo** >>>But she’s not sorry. She’s mad you keep bringing it up and is acting like the dude she did those horrific things with is the problem, and not the assault and battery on innocent people. >>>This shouldn’t be hard dude. **TOP COMMENT** **Mountain-Guava2877** >She’s a psychopath. She admits to violently attacking people. >Your aren’t married. You can leave. >Knowing she is capable of this, you are underreacting by staying with her. One day she could easily do something like that to you. So take precautions when you leave. [Update](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmIOverreacting/comments/1eh037h/update_am_i_overreacting_to_my_girlfriends/) **July 31, 2024 (1 week later)** I just wanted to let everyone know that I broke up with my girlfriend. I absolutely do not condone any violence against unhoused people. That's the reason I asked about it because it seriously shocked me, but then everyone turned it on me and acted like I was condoning it. I'm sorry but it just takes a lot of time to process when you're in a relationship with someone. You can't just end it like that. Plus you know I try to be really mindful of things like shaming women for past mistakes and relationships. The last thing I want to be is one of those guys. And when she accused me of that herself, I started believing I may be wrong. But anyway when I told her we were gonna have to break up because of what she told me, she actually looked shocked. I think she believed I was joking at first. But I straight up told her how wrong she was for doing that, which I hadn't had the courage to do before. I said how she could have even killed one of those guys and not known it, etc. She didn't have much to say, just looking really angry honestly. But anyway once I showed I was serious she started guilt tripping me about how I'm trying to shame her for her past etc. The same point she had made before. But in the end she started insulting me really harshly and eventually turned it around on me and it was like she was breaking up with me instead. However she wants to think of it is fine with me. Some of the things she said were really hurtful if I'm being honest but I know she was just angry and I just have to keep reminding myself that I did the right thing. As for reporting the crimes like some people said, I did try but I had trouble talking to a person at that police department over the phone (it's across the country from where I am). The phone recording tells me to file reports online. The online form asks me if I know who did the crime and when I check "yes" it tells me I have to file the report on the phone or in-person. Anyway I'm still working on that but it seems like there's a lot of beauracracy to do through. Sorry for not responding to a lot of you before but I was really overwhelmed. Even though this isn't my main account I want people to know I did the right thing. Take care.

My partner and I recently started playing again and are looking for a guild or just a smaller group to play with who don’t suck
Found on their [change.org petition](https://www.change.org/p/free-stellar-blade)  Edit: Another one 
[Source](https://xkcd.com/2914/) My dad sent this to me this morning, we saw totality for the 2017 one and now my partner and I are in Cincinnati to head into the path tomorrow to see it I genuinely can’t emphasize how amazing it was to see. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.
I don’t think I’ve actually seen anyone make this point before. Not only are they obviously not accidents because open your eyes, but if that *were* the case, that’s *even worse*! If they whoopsie-daisied their way into killing >40,000 people given the technology they have, taking that power away from them would need to be the highest priority! > These people, who you have just established are *lethally stupid*, have access to nuclear bombs! It’s only a matter of time before they spill peanut butter on a control panel and level Chicago! Our number one priority needs to be invading Tel Aviv and putting them all in straight jackets and padded cells for the safety of the world.
Give me suggestions for mobile games that don’t suck ass Currently the only games on my phone are Reigns: Her Majesty - Card based roguelike, you’re the Queen pick between decisions to balance the favor of different groups, progressing through a larger story over multiple lives. Sequel to Reigns which is also great. Baba is You - Puzzle game, push words and objects around to change the rules of the world the puzzle is in to complete the puzzle. Polytopia - What if Civ was so simple it wasn’t very fun Pokémon GO - 
Hank Green is my problematic liberal fave, but holy shit dude went full “officer involved shooting” here. “As bombs continue to drop” come the fuck on man.
Was making coffee and considering throwing out my K-cup coffee maker because I almost exclusively use a French press now, and got curious what other people did 
youtu.be
 
I’m sick and came to the doctor to get tested for covid, strep, and flu, since those are going around my work. I asked the doctor if I could get paxlovid if the covid test was positive, and he goes “Oh I don’t think you’d need it” Motherfucker almost everyone who catches covid should be fucking taking it wtf is wrong with you. Oh I’m young and otherwise healthy? Yeah and I’d like to fucking stay that way thank you very much, and I’ll take any reduction in the chance of becoming *permanently disabled*. Also of the medical professionals I saw today, they were only wearing surgical masks, not N95s and I can’t comprehend it. Why in the hell would you go into the room of a likely covid case not wearing an N95 are you insane? I’m so fucking sick of being the only person in this entire town that’s actually worried about catching this disease, even the fucking doctors don’t care anymore. I work in a research facility attached to a hospital and when I go to the food court and shit at best like 1/25 people are wearing masks. In a hospital. Thank you Mr Joe Brandon for ending the pandemic, you’ve truly cemented your place among history’s greatest killers.   
My trough is empty and I need more slop
