  • In that context it sounds like they are using the word “sadly” in place of a word like “unfortunately”.

    “unfortunately, i’m referring to you.”

    “Unfortunately, i think you should suffer and realize what an annoying piece of shit you are.”

    Now, as to why it’s sad or unfortunate, I’m not sure. It could be that the person saying “sadly” likes the other person but is upset with them in the moment, or the person saying “sadly” could be trying to soften the blow of a mean comment like the one you used in the example, or they could be saying it’s sad/unfortunate for the person they are talking to.

    Just my two cents.



  • If you’re talking politically, then I agree 100%, like you said, we’ve done terrible shit in this country from before day one.

    If I’m thinking literally though, 250 years have passed, including the start of Industrial Revolution. They would have no idea what anything was or what was going on, just like what would happen if someone today was transported that far in the future. That’s why I always think this argument is stupid.



  • Was he a bad person when he was working as a nurse for 45 years? Was he a bad person when he moved in with his mom in his 20s to help her out when his dad died? Was he a bad person when he volunteered at twice a month at a local food shelter? Was he a bad person when he took photos for the sports teams I was on and paid for a kid’s pictures out of his own pocket because the family couldn’t afford them?

    Again, you know one thing. You don’t know why he voted that way, I said before, he is a single issue voter, taxes, period.

    Don’t bother responding, those were rhetorical questions and I’m tired of conversing with someone so close minded.













  • I feel bad for the men that get indoctrinated by this guy. Just like a lot of people that get taken in by religion, these people are looking for some understanding or change that really can only come from within but the church is promising that religion is the only way.

    These men don’t understand that there is no black and white/ universal version of “manliness”. We all have to decide for ourselves what “being a man” means.

    I go with a simple definition: as someone who was born a man and continues to identify as a man, my feeling is that, anything I do is “manly” because I am a man. Doesn’t matter if it’s sewing, hunting, or eating soup (which the preacher in the article seems to think is not manly)


  • That’s your opinion. I was a leashed child at one point in my life and I don’t care at all. It was pre cell phones so that argument doesn’t work either. It’s not about the parent not wanting to deal with their kid, it’s about them not wanting the kid to bother other people and to prevent toddlers from running off in large crowds.



  • While what’s happening in Gaza is horrific, it’s sadly far down on the list of grievances against the so called “far left” in the US. It was just one that came immediately to mind. They’ve also had no problem with “Citizens United” which allowed unlimited money in politics, they’ve continued to support the police state in the US, a lack of any meaningful movement on healthcare.

    Joe Manchin is no longer a Senator but he used to be considered a “centrist”. He was a fucking coal barron who used his influence to get his daughter a made up MBA, she in turn was CEO of Mylan when they jacked up prices on the life saving Eli-pen.
