How was it called? When people are so close to getting the point it hurts, yet still don't get it? I remember there being a subreddit about it.

I miss that subreddit

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago

Yep, that's it. Thank You.

Classic conservative move, they immediately understand the problem when it applies to them but cannot or will not generalise to others

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago

Even when presented with the hypocrisy, they still refuse to acknowledge there is a problem.

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 9 points 8 hours ago

Maybe it's safe to assume he's a conservative but you'll be surprised at how many brocialists we have on the left.

[–] wheelie@lemmy.world 65 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

That's more of an idiot move.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 94 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Who's got the time to tell the difference?

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 64 points 13 hours ago

Sure- conservatives aren't all idiots. Some are assholes

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 30 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The Venn diagram between those two things is basically a circle at this point.

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 6 points 3 hours ago

I don't really agree. The idiot circle nicely encompasses the conservative circle, but there are a lot of idiots that aren't conservatives as well!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago

That's what they said

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 26 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Can you even imagine his response if a gay man had approached him the same way? Dude would be on the 6 o'clock news crying into the camera while covered in blood.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Sone might fight, but guys like these on socials would get hammered by gay dudes. No pun intended.

He would feel threatened if a creepy woman TSA agent did this to him too. It's much more rare, but it's a better argument for these kinds of people. I've seen this response countless times. Banned from r/conservative for "threatening" users lol.

Think of them like children (his debate skills are <6th grader, so he literally is). You have to be gentle.

They're not like children, they're just narcissists.

It's the attitude of: "If I do something bad to you, you should be flattered. But don't you dare do that to me!"

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 8 hours ago

Nah, hit his homophobic ass with the theoretical hyper-masculine leather daddy hitting on him

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 144 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

he made her point so perfectly well, and yet still can't (and won't ever be able to) see it himself.

[–] mystik@lemmy.world 94 points 13 hours ago

That went so far over his head, I'm not sure he heard the woosh.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Well, you see. The man has a penis, therefore he is at higher risk of violence than women.

Wait, no. It's the opposite.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Cis men experience more of every non-sexual form of violence than cis women on average, to the point where they experience more incidents of overall violence.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 20 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The fun part is when you start digging into where that violence is coming from....

[–] sudneo@lemm.ee -1 points 4 hours ago

For amybody experiencing violence, how is that important?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

A lot of trans women who possess penises are at extreme risk of violence from men.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

And trans men experience struggles with an epidemic of both sexual abuse and domestic violence, which is basically not studied at all.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Yes, but they are still women, and I specifically was referring to men with penises.

Checkmate, atheists.

Exactly what I was thinking from just the title, heh.

Reminds me of an episode of "Cheers." Cliff calls a woman and starts heavy breathing into the phone, then he's surprised when she hangs up.

"My mom always laughs when I do it to her!"

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 20 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I recently discovered that, at the beginning of Cheers, Cliff was some five years younger than I currently am, and I'm not happy about this AT ALL.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 8 points 10 hours ago

A while back, someone mentioned Jack Benny, and we all laughed about how he'd always say he was "only 39."

When we were kids, we wondered how old you had to be to think that 39 was young.

Now we know!

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

No, just gonna send some flowers.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Yeah, that was immediate comeback as well.

Would have really tied the room together.
