Sure, I'd be interested if you think this is a broken plate situation or not.

We left the pub as a group of four: her, me, and two male friends of hers. I was shitfaced as fuck, like on the verge of not beeing able to walk properly anymore. I didn't chose to get shitfaced too. I was on a diet and skipped lunch to "afford" the calories of a few drinks. Turned out drinking and an empty stomach are a bad combination. Who would've thought, right? I ended up beeing way more wasted then I usually would have been. That is not any excuse for anything, I just bring it up because it is part of the facts

We approached the local train station to go home. Our train was allready standing and waiting to leave, but it would do so for another 20 minutes.

As we arrived at the train station I asked to sit down in the train, as I was feeling realy dizzy and increasingly cold (it was winter). My friend said she'd like us to wait outside at the station plattform and enter the train just before its final take of time.

I don't recall much of the details, but an argument broke out about this, me wanting to go into the train and her wanting to wait outside. It was not a screaming match and not aggressiv, just a normal discussion (this has been confirmed by one of her male friends later, so you don't need to trust my drunken recollection here).

Since there were two male friends of hers with us, it wasn't an issue of her waiting alone at the plattform if I had left. I honestly don't recall her reasoning, or any details of the discussion, nor why we didn't simply split up. The argument ended with me beeing frustrated and saying: "You can sit around in the cold or on that guys dick, for all I care, but I'm going into the train now."

I headed for the train and all three of them followed. We waited together until the train took of and everybody went their merry way. I have no recollection of any conversation that happens about the comment on the way home. She approached me a couple of days later and said that she took great offence.

And just to make this clear: This was the single thing that lead to her ending our friendship. It wasn't the boiling over point, it wasn't the last stupid thing in a long list of stupid things. A week earlier she had thanked me for beeing such a good friend.

I honestly have to admit, I still don't get it. I see how it was a stupid thing to say and of course I see how it was offensiv. I still don't see why it was bad enoth to end a friendship over, and she never explained it to me. I never tried to defend what I said, I apologised as soon as I was made aware of it (I don't remember the incident in great detail. The above telling is put together from my memory fragments and the telling of her two male friends, whom I independently asked to fill me in on what had happend).

Testing Gender and Transrelated Medicine is not "Making Mice Transgender".

But yes, the spending was to test a medical treatment, the same way how many medical treatments are tested. He is opposing this specific research for ideological reasons, of course.

Is it just me or did he use more simple words when addressing "Donald"?

Counterpoint: By posting things that get downvoted, you still contributed and added to the discussion by exposing people to a viewpoint divergent from the ones they perceive normaly.

Or your contributions are just shit takes. That could be the case too. /s

In Germany the derogatory term used is "Gutmensch", good human.

It's the narrative the right has created, and you can see it in those terms. The narrative is of course that people on the left pretend to be full of virtue and good but in reality are dreamers full of idoologies that can't survive in the real world. That and not beeing able to practice what one preaches (like still using airplanes while advocating for a more sustainable lifestyle) are part of what they have constructed "woke people" to mean for them, as far as I understand it at least.

It's the same meme, but younger and fresher.

Nono, that's a "Priest". Image him a bit like a scientist, but opposite.

Sounds abut right (wing). This is the kind of shit I see coming for a lot of Europe, including German (where I am located). The funny thing is that they can't stop talking about "Eco Fashism" here and how the Greens are trying to dictate their every day live (like what to eat and what to fuel their cars with) and how that is a left green dictatorship. And then shit like you bring up here the second they get elected.

I tried Fark-It-All and it legit helped me reduce my stress level a lot. After Amazon drove up its Ads I felt I realy couldn't take it any more. And since there is literally nothing you can do about ads, neither on reddit nor on Amazon, I looked for other options. And what can I say? Taking some Fark-It-All brings the fun back into funding, hypercapitalist corpations trough engaging with Ads. I highly recommend Fark-It-All, even if you just feel like you could potentialy be stressed out a bit by Ads. I've heard a lot of realy positive feedback on taking it preventative.

No /s, it realy is the shit. Just try it out and see for yourself.
