Sorry, das ist schonmal wieder vollkommen überzogen. Wegen einer einzigen Aussage wird so ein große Sache gemacht. Nur Mal nebenbei: es fährt eine fünfstellige Anzahl an Zügen jeden Tag in Deutschland. Wenn du lange genug in den internen Daten suchst werdest du dumme Kommentare finden - ich habe selber schonmal die eine oder andere sarkastische Anmerkung gesehen. Das heißt nicht, dass das gängige Praxis ist.

Aber natürlich, wir müssen die Schuld bei der Bahn suchen und nicht bei der Politik, die es nicht geschissen bekommt, der Bahn eine ausreichende, zuverlässige und langfristige Finanzierung zu sichern. Nein, Pünktlichkeit kann man bekanntlich aus der Luft zaubern.

Nein. Es kann z.B. eine psychische Krankheit sein, steht ja nicht auf der Krankschreibung, die dein Arbeitgeber bekommt.

Gibt wohl Gerichtsfälle, die das bestätigen, dass man sich nicht Zuhause auskurieren muss (zumindest war das die Aussage von meinem alten Chef - der war ein guter, hat sich ausgekannt und zu unserem Vorteil verwendet...)

Someone I went to school with had a dog who was lying on its back and yawning, when a squirrel happened to fall out of a tree and right into its mouth. Probably not even a chance in a million. But every since then, the dog kept lying at the bottom of that tree, on its back, mouth wide open, panting, in hopes that another squirrel would fall in.

So, what we're saying is...

he "will be caught buying crack from a gay prostitute going, 'we were just playing tummy swords.' And then he’ll deny it going, 'I did not perform a homosexual act.' 'no, you didn’t. Elton John is a homosexual act. You just blew that guy. It’s okay.'" -Robin Williams

What is with all this CBC bashing lately? I've ~said~ written it before, I'll write it again: the CBC isn't perfect, but no one who actually follows the CBC can in all honesty claim that they're not regularly showing the horrors happening in Gaza in plenty of detail, saying who's doing it, and putting the BS coming from the Israeli government into its horrific context.

Makes me wonder if there's an astroturfing campaign going on. Let's not forget, the right would love to be rid of the CBC.

A relationship should never be used as a means to have sex. That will only hurt people. And a relationship is so, so much more than just sex.

Honestly, to me it sounds like you don't really want a (romantic) relationship in the first place. And that's completely fine. Don't try to force something on yourself that you don't want. That will only hurt your partner and disappoint you. It's completely fine to just want friends with benefits or one night stands (or both, as long as you're careful). You do you.

So you're saying it wasn't only abuse from the Clinton supporters, but it was also a result of purity tests. And we keep wondering why the left keeps failing...

When people have created a narrative that "white x y z men" are responsible for all the evil in the world (I'm exagerating, but you get my drift), it creates a very difficult situation when those people are facing some serious difficulties. The intellectually lazy thing to do in that case is to brush it off or minimize it, like in the ways you've described. And unfortunately, that's the route those same people will take, since identity politics are intellectually lazy (and lacking compassion, but that's another story).

The unfortunate part of it is that the right has taken advantage of that wide open flank, which is one main reasons we're in this current clusterfuck.

I always love the irony when people worry that others are being dictated on how to dress so they then themselves dictate to people how they can dress.

I watched that segment. I remember them saying very clearly that Israel didn't allow them to film it. So you know what they did? They showed footage from the ground, and didn't mince words as to how horrific things were. They showed the landscape, where barely anything is standing. They showed people digging through the ground looking for spilled kernels. There was absolutely no way you could watch that report and not understand the insanity of what is going on there.

In fact, anyone who follows CBC's news coverage has no reason to not understand the depths of the horrors happening in Gaza, or in Palestine in general. They don't shove it into the corner. They place it center stage. Again, and again, and again. As if to say, "don't forget what is happening here".

The CBC definitely has its faults, but this article is blowing things way, way out of proportion.

Well yeah, no shit, Sherlock. Abuse causes mental health problems. How is this news?

Trigger warning: abuse, suicide First off, I'm not taking about guys who call themselves nice and act like manipulative jerks. I'm talking about people who are legitimately nice, caring and loving. As such, this doesn't only apply to men. Storytime: a good number of years ago, I got to know someone who I not too long after started a relationship with. She was loving, kind, and caring - really, what I look for when it comes to relationship material. Except... She still lived at home, and her "mother" was horrifically abusive. Unfortunately, also very intelligent, so that she was always a couple of steps ahead of you. Well, she also got abusive towards me very quickly but was such a master of manipulation and Gaslighting that I had no clue what the fuck was going on. I also didn't know how abuse worked, so I was ripe for the picking. A year and a horrific half later, I got "kicked out" (in other words, my then girlfriend was gaslit into projecting all of the faults of her own mother onto me leading to a messy breakup) because I started asking too many questions and didn't simply accept what I was being told, including that I allegedly had memory problems (which turned out to be pure and utter bullshit to gaslight me). So, I finished last, I lost the person who I thought was going to be the love of my life and I was ready to marry eventually. You know who also finished last? The women who would have liked to been with her father, who is a great guy. The likelihood that any one of them could have been worse than her is exceedingly small. You have to achieve that kind of evil first. My ex? Still living at her parents' place. Word made it around that my ex's and her father's cars at some point regularly had nails and screws under their tires, which mysteriously stopped when one of the father's friends told him "you know exactly who did that if you're honest with yourself". Well, I did a shit ton of reading on psychology and abuse to understand what the hell I went through. And also in the hopes of helping them, but as mentioned, it didn't work. But the fact that I know so much about it, have experienced it myself and tend to try and listen to people when they tell me about their situations means that I seem to be a magnet for victims of abuse. I always try to help. I know how awful my situation was and if I can help someone out of a similar situation, I will do what I can. But it's often frustrating. But I actually was able to help someone out of an abusive situation. After a suicide attempt due to the effects of the abuse I landed in the hospital, and got to know someone there fairly well. She was also in an abusive situation. And I actually was able to help her out of it! Mind you, it was after I had lost count of her suicide attempts, but hey, you take the victories you get. So hey, at least in that situation it wasn't as bad... But fast forward to the last few months. A colleague I've known for a little over a year and a half tells me more and more about her friend with benefits. She tells me almost right from the start, that it's a toxic relationship. I hoped it's not that bad. After a couple of tell tale signs too many, yup, it's abuse. Long story short, we also started developing feelings for each other and were hoping to help each other through what we were dealing with. Well, the fwb made sure to fuck it up. She even said, otherwise, she's an afterthought for him (even though he expects to be at the top of her priority list), but in a case where he might lose her, he will fight for her. When I asked how, she described exactly what he did in my case. But still doesn't see that he did it in my case. And now the feelings she told me about apparently weren't feelings but something else, and he's suddenly not as bad and besides the constant manipulation and if you ask me rapey behavior, he's actually quite OK... Like don't get me wrong, my primary concern is that she gets out of that situation, which doesn't look particularly likely at the moment, but to get back to the topic, yet another case of the nice guy finished last. Rant over. TL;DR: fuck abusers and the people who enable them. And why the fuck are they often more successful than the people who don't abuse people.
