#19 I always lioe to point out that all temples are decorated. Stained Glass windows, Statues, Ornamental Candlestick Holders, etc... Art is human, and body art (tattoos, scarification, piercings) predates every contemporary religion by millennia.

#2 is a horrible thing to say about any group of people. Trying to judge all of any large group people are born into is bigotry, no matter what group it is. It's wrong when it's racism and it's wrong when it's sexism.

#7 When we have something to say, but not sure how to say it, we say "Words!". And when grumpy, its much like the meme "Mood!", and a few other things.. it actually works better and less argument as a result.

#13 because, as we learn from. The Book Hogfatger, written by the great and esteemed Sir Terry Pratchett (may he rest in peace), people can be controlled by bits of their body, like hair or teeth. So it they aren't safely collected and stored by a trusted entity like the tooth fairy, people can control children's believe and kill off santa

#2 The sad part is you can learn what snakes are venomous or not by sight if you study enough. Women can't look at a man and always know. There's obvious signs, but then there's "he was always so nice and all the ladies felt safe with him" said in an interview after like 10 women victims come forward or bones are found in his shed.

SpammersAreScum
Every company I've had accounts with had filters which reject usernames and passwords with problematic characters, and which those characters are seems to differ from one to another for some reason. An emoji is represented as a series of characters, so in theory you could break the bank without even using an emoji.
onlyhalfghost
I highly suggest trying backslashes, double quotes, braces, semicolons, or pipes if you want to try to break things

I worked somewhere that had a whole system collapse because someone used pipe as a character in a name. Not banking.

ManOCheese
And if they were able to, you couldn't just live off tea, you'd have to get food. Then you'd spend a few hours looking after the food. You'd realise there isn't really time to grow all the food you need and have a varied enough diet to stay healthy, so you'd decide to swap with a neighbour. You'd have to produce enough food to trade for everything you need, so now you're working 14 hour days. Then you'd fall ill and wish you hadn't left a society where people worked all day to keep people alive.

Of course there are better alternatives to rampant capitalism. Refusing to work at all is not one of them.

#2 "Some men are dangerous, therefore I assume all men are dangerous and this is a very rational thought process and has no negative effects on my perception of society".
raifsevrence
Seen a lot of questionable and outright bad stuff round here over the years as the site has leaned further and further left. Things like #2 being unironically posted is an example of the corruption that happens at the extreme end of the spectrum. Batshit crazy nonsense.

That's not a left take, just misandry.

I don't necessarily disagree with you. I just think it's a position much more likely to be held by the left.

Tomatos with salt are literally pure flavor wth is wrong with you.
IndignantQueef
I'm allergic to them, I can handle tomato sauce but biting into a raw tomato is bad, bad news, my throat gets itchy and I start to wheeze and feel like I can't catch my breath. I get terrible heartburn and sometimes even a rash around my mouth. I don't think I could eat a whole one without passing out. (My doc said it's likely just a sensitivity because I can eat other nightshades - only tomatoes and eggplant really bother me.)
doctorwut02
I was admittedly more thinking of picky eaters.
ballsoutflyer
#2 Another TV idea: People who say "not all neighborhoods" are introduced to a variety of neighborhoods. Not all of them are rough. If you don't see a problem with that, allow me to introduce you to taking a rough neighborhood and showing people only that. Then let them out in the open with them assuming every neighborhood is just like the only one they know.
ballsoutflyer
I'm still waiting on other commentors stating blind assumptions about people somehow make the snake gambit somehow okay.
raifsevrence
Give it time. I don't think you will be disappointed. Well, you will be disappointed, but it will be by the inevitable responses affirming the position in some way.
ballsoutflyer
Isn't that true. It's like "how dare you compare a group of people to MnM's!" but "I completely agree that an entire group are like venomous snakes!" like somehow there's a difference and I'm sitting here going "Are you guys HIGH?"
raifsevrence
They are definitely something. Double standards are ok as long as they're the double standards the concerned party agrees with. It is ever thus. It's the very root of why outrage culture and wokeness is nonsense. Very few people possess the ability to realize they subscribe to their own flavor of the hypocrisy and bigotry they decry in others.
ballsoutflyer
Wokeness?

#3 .....why wasn't she wearing her wedding ring?
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
If you've got a solid stomach, look up 'degloving injury'. I don't wear anything that isn't breakaway. Hell, we had a guy lose the entire tip of his finger a couple months ago at work. One of the mill guys had pictures and was showing them to the rest of us.
IAmTheBadW01f
My wife isn't wearing hers right now because she got a bug bite right next to where it sits, making it intolerable to wear. I don't wear mine at work because all metal jewelry is prohibited on the floor so nobody accidentally shorts something out.
glamdring1
After the first couple times I almost lost mine cleaning the pool I got in the habit of taking it off when I'm doing anything worth mentioning with my hands.
kindpanda
I take mine off at night and to shower. Sometimes I forget to put it back on
TheMightyMollusk
My fingers have gotten fatter in the 14 years since my wedding and the ring doesn't fit anymore. I've just never bothered to look into getting it resized.
RanOutofWit
I'm heading down this path, the design on mine doesn't lend itself well to resize. I like the ring though, so am looking at necklaces or bracelets that can cage or hold a ring properly.
bitemark
Next thing you're going to tell me she's not walking 10 feet behind her husband with her head bowed
DustyDragon
Lots of reasons. Could be she was working with something messy or dishes. Mine isn't comfortable to wear during yoga. I don't wear it when digging in dirt. You don't always think to put it back on when you're done with a task.
EroticZombiePants
A lot of people don't wear them. They aren't really necessary. If you are going to cheat, wearing the ring is irrelevant anyway.
wereallwronghere
I've literally heard an old man say "so what? so am I," to a woman he asked on a date in public after she told him she was married. Cheaters don't care.
electronicbovine
I often forgot to wear mine and then lost it and for the past decade never wear one. Been married 13y. Dunno who sets the social rules and expectations here but uhh, fuck em.
bitemark
Apparently it wasn't much of a thing before WWII, but don't let others tell you how to do your relationship

I just never take mine off. Had it 20 years running. Don't ask me where the Christmas present I bought for my sister 2 years ago is though.

They matter for health professionals if they're too pokey because then they'll cut open the gloves. I wear a silicone substitute for this reason.

DeadeicPrints
I did that too lol, if you're being serious. If not, I too am joking.
LonesomeCoder
I really did! I can't show you a proof because... I didn't bring it with me today 😅 It is a very simple white gold ring that I bought more than ten years ago years ago. But an even better story is when my brother wanted a ring as a birthday gift and I went with him to buy it. The lady at the shop clearly thought we were a couple and didn't know how to react at first but was very helpful after a minute. Treat yourself and your loved ones!

I'm a guy, in case it wasn't clear

AnitaPeeeeee
Because the quote is used to justify stereotypes. Bringing in race drives home the point stereotyping is bad.
SilicaGelPacket
Yeah it feels a lot like the shitty "jar of Skittles with 5% deadly poison" analogy that conservatives make about immigrants. People who react with "not all men!" To complaints about sexism etc are often doing so in poor taste and at the wrong moment (tone policing etc) - like "all lives matter" in response to BLM. But yeah, obviously it's true that not all men are terrible, just like it's true that all lives matter. And IMG #2 is shitty about it.
rbudrick
But people are snakes. Not just men. I've met as many shitty women as men. This simply sounds sexist to me.
wereallwronghere
My dude, you can internet search violent crime statistics by country and see it shows men as the perpetrators of reported violent crime anywhere from 80-99% depending on the country and type of crime.
rbudrick
Violent crime was not what we were talking about. Like at all. Also, violent crime via women on men is extremely highly under reported, and when reported, often dismissed and the man blamed, but tbis is all again, beside the point initially made in the pic.
chbarts
Trying to judge all of any large group people are born into is bigotry. It's wrong when it's racism and it's wrong when it's sexism.
TomBrokaw
You're missing the point, and in fact you're basically saying "not all men" by comparing being around to getting bitten. Getting bit would be like getting assaulted. The point is that being around men (for women) is the same as being around snakes: most of the population won't hurt you, but there is a large enough portion that will definitely hurt or possibly kill you, given the chance.
ClownishAntics
Nope, I'm saying the analogy is poor. Unless "being introduced" to a snake means being bitten by it then It doesn't stand. I don't give a shit if a snake is venemous unless it bites, but I'll gladly break a rapists fingers.
chbarts
Trying to judge all of any large group people are born into is bigotry. It's wrong when it's racism and it's wrong when it's sexism.
ballsoutflyer
The issue with that analogy is it's validating an unwarranted assumption when the truth is a lot more nuanced. It's travelling along the same lines as when a cop assumes everyone he deals with as a potential threat.
CatShadowleaf
Except cops get carte blanche to kill people they deem a threat?
CatShadowleaf

IThrowLemons
We all do agree that this is not a good thing, right?
CatShadowleaf
Not a good thing, no.
LustrousShadow
A large enough number of people can be politely described as "irredeemable pieces of shit," so it's a good idea to try and keep your wits about you. Acknowledging that doing so is a good idea is something that really pisses some people off, which the snake thing is in response to.
chbarts

LustrousShadow
Which is why I said it's best to be careful around *people.* Entitled people who think you should trust them because *they* think they're "good" people can fuck right off, regardless of gender.
ClownishAntics
Oh definitely, and I get the analogy I just don't think it's a good one. I like snakes, been introduced to a bunch and only got one partial bite from a pine. Reptiles are cool, people can be super shitty. A better one is "men who say "not all men" are introduced to a variety of guns, not all of them are loaded.
Eucrow
That one is better. You're right.
LustrousShadow
I personally prefer the "M&Ms, but some of them are poison" one, but there are several.
babayaghanoush
I like the snake one, because it’s more accurate (as a survivor.) The man’s posture and behavior would change because snakes move of their own will in unpredictable ways, like attackers. Guns and m&ms can’t approach you.
RandAIFlagg
I typically just say "if you think it's about you it must be" and the two responses are always "oh fair enough" or explosive verbal diarrhea. I'll skip the analogy - if they're disputing it they need to realize they're the problem.
TezuNii
IIRC it began simply because there were women claiming that "All men are either rapists or complicit" back when MeToo started
wereallwronghere
I'm so sure women online being hyperbolic bc they were victims or never had ONE good experience with a man is really the cause of narcissistic manbabies throwing tantrums when they read about someone's specific experience. So sure.
