The trend of women throwing ice at their bathtub to keep from harming their kids is disturbing

There’s multiple TikToks of women throwing ice at their bathtub while screaming in rage. It’s very rare for me to get this angry at a full grown adult. I cannot comprehend how someone can get this angry at a BABY. And setting up a recording of you doing it is just another layer of narcissistic weirdness. These women are freaks

The rules of the "ask women" subreddit make it impossible to post any meaningful questions

I posted a simple question. No gender wars stuff. Nothing about men vs women. Nothing argumentative. I was just looking for women's opinion on something innocent, as I was trying to think of something nice to do for my wife. That's it. There was nothing angry or combative about the question.

I read all the rules before posting.

Post still got removed with this vague explanation.

We are not a sub for personal evaluation , advice, or recommendations

Well, that's a very broad brush that could be used to ignore any type of question.

That would be like if there were a subreddit called ask millenials and then we added a rule that you can't ask for any personal advice on dealing with millennial.

Then what is the point of the sub at all ?

Isn't the whole point of an "ask(group)" subreddit, supposed to be to allow questions for open communication so that all sides can understand each other ?

I wish people would wake up and realize that focusing on gender wars only keeps us bitter angry, separated and lonely. We have to communicate with each other.

Murder and Rape are not equivalent

Most people seem to consider it morally similar. If someone put a gun to my head and asked me to choose, I'd drop my pants. Rape is a horrific crime and I am not devaluing the severity of it to minimalize it but murder is on another level of immorality. A lot of people treat it as if someone that's been raped is broken for life and that they will never recover or live a normal life afterwards.

It's such an extremely harmful attitude towards victims and only serves to perpetuate a harmful social stigma that makes it more difficult for victims to recover and move on with their lives.

Murder on the other hand has zero prospect for healing or any form of recovery. The person is gone. There's nothing that can be done to bring that person back and has a much farther damaging affect among society than rape does.

The Lindsay Clancy case proves that the "woke" crowd that defends this type of bullshit has no moral leg to stand on.

So you mean to tell me that the people who constantly jump onto every woke or "progressive" narrative on social media are now defending a violent child killer and saying you are a bad person or don't understand mental health for not having empathy for a child killer. As if most murderers don't have some kind of sad story.

So the people who will call you a bad person if you voted for Trump are now calling you a bad person for not supporting a child murderer.

So the people who will call you a bad person for not agreeing with them on abortion are now calling you a bad person for not supporting a child murderer.

So the people who will call you a bad person for wanting a secure border and being anti illegal immigration are now calling you a bad person for not supporting a child murderer.

So the people who will say you are a bad person and advocate for the deaths of children if you don't agree with them on Israel are now calling you a bad person for not supporting a child murderer.

So the people who were happy when Charlie Kirk got killed for speaking are now calling you a bad person for not supporting a child murderer.

So the people who will say you are a bad person if you don't agree with cancel culture and we need evidence before believing all women; are literally calling you a child murderer for not supporting a women who admitted to murdering her own kids and their crazy bandwagon to blame everyone but her.

These were the same people who were defending that Canadian lady who slapped a teenager for wearing an America shirt because she thought it was a Trump shirt.

Can we please just agree politics aside, this whole "woke" cult that dominates social media platforms like tiktok, Instagram, and reddit is getting more and more ridiculous. These people just bandwagon whatever crazy cause their social media masters give them to the point where a lady was given 700K for murdering her own children, and us sane people are the bad guys for questioning this shit.

This post is not inherently a shot at people on the left, but god damn does this hivemind of psychos always skew left with this warped suicidal empathy bullshit; unless it is someone they identify as a political opponent.

They will now enter the chat to downplay and tell us we haven't all seen this bullshit from them time and time again. Yep it's another Lindsay Clancy thread, you all literally gave a child killer 700K in support WTF!!!!!

Sanctimonious leftists dweebs love coming here because they get to see different takes than their emotionally hypersensitive echo chambers

The leftists who dwell in here are completely bored of their emotionally unstable, monotonous echo chambers of moral ciriclejerking.

They're hungry for real debate and different opinions.

Having different views is healthy and what happened to Charlie Kirk was pathetic. Leftists need to learn to understand not everyone shares their policies and world views and violence and sanctimony isn't healthy

Successful Immigrants are the Most Impressive People in Society

Imagine how difficult it is to go to a country where you don’t know anything or anyone and still becoming more successful than a majority of people who were born in that country.

Still, these people are villainized by the media and online despite them having a disproportionate amount of innovation as compared to the rest of the population.

*By this I mean large group, of course certain niche groups like civil rights advocates are more impressive but that is a much smaller group.

If you support Lindsay Clancy you are a terrible person.

It's not complicated. A woman killing her three kids is not something you can justify. For centuries women have had kids in much worse conditions and they didn't assassinate them. All the support surrounding this case is insanity and a clear proof of how our society never holds women accountable for their actions.

This is disgusting.

Because the only way they can defend her is by white knighting. And they have the maturity of children.

The DSA demolition/implosion of the Democrats is now fully underway.

Bill Maher let the cat out of the bag to all the aloof, clueless Dems who had no idea what was actually happening because they live in affluent bubbles. Most of them had no clue at all who was being voted in but now they do, which are communists.

Good luck in the mid-terms, Dems.

If $100,000 a year is the “bare minimum” and you “can’t survive” on it, that’s a skill issue

I’ve never in my life made $100,000 in a year at any point in my professional career. I live in a high cost of living area where my one-bedroom apartment runs me around $2,000 monthly, I pay for my car and the fees associated with that, internet, utilities, parking, phone bill, student loans, groceries, and I try to put money into savings to eventually support my disabled brother.

Even with these expenses, I still contribute to my 401(k) to get the highest match from my employer, I eat out around once a week, I hit the bars with my friends when I feel like it, I buy myself something I want just because every once in a while, and I really never worry about money in a “holy shit I’m barely surviving” way.

For those reasons, I find it very eye-rolling when I see countless people online crying into their cell phone camera about how they make $100,000/year and are “barely surviving” or how it’s the “bare minimum.” The same goes for all these people in internet comment sections talking about how making less than $100,000 annually is some sort of human rights violation and how capitalism is evil for that and whatever.

It really begs the question, what the fuck are you guys spending your money on? If I had an extra $15k-$20k tacked onto my salary I would be feeling like fucking Jeff Bezos. What sort of spending habits could you possibly have, or what string of decisions could you possibly make to have a six-figure salary and be “barely surviving?” And this is coming from someone who supports a severely disabled family member who won’t ever be able to even live alone, so don’t lecture me about how people have “different circumstances” or whatever. Trust me, I know.

When people say this, all I can think is that it’s a major skill issue and that they’re leaving out MAJOR details and how badly I wish I could see their monthly expenses.

Like, did you fall into a pyramid scheme or buy a crazy house you can’t afford or move into a New York City penthouse that costs you your entire paycheck? I have family members that make even less than I do that live in NYC and they’re doing fine. Did you all have a ton of kids you can’t afford? Like, genuinely what is it?

People who can't speak English shouldn't be working people-facing roles in English speaking countries

Edit:

for the wannabe smartasses jacking themselves off over me saying 911 instead of 999. You are stupid.

https://imgur.com/a/NGLcCBV

__________________________________________________

For context I live in London. Iykyk. And honestly I'm kinda sick of employers hiring people who can't even speak or understand basic, conversational English working in roles where their whole job is to communicate with people.

I remember times where I've gone into cafes and ordered something and the foreigner at the counter looks at me like I'm the crazy one speaking a made up language because they don't speak English and haven't even memorised all the stuff on the menu.

Another time, I had to call 911 for someone and I couldn't even understand the person on the other end because their accent was too thick.

And also, at my university, the receptionists don't speak a lick of English. You cannot even hold a basic conversation with them, making them completely useless at their job.

Actually that is what prompted me to make this post today because I was staying with a relative due to personal circumstances, and had to travel 4 hours to get to uni. I also didn't have my student ID due to the same aforementioned circumstances. I arrived only to find that the machine for day passes was still not working (it was faulty even a whole year ago and they still haven't fixed it which is real pisstake....). With no ID and no way to print a day pass, I had to ask the receptionist for the physical passes they keep behind the counter.

As expected, she could not understand even the most simple sentences and kept asking me the same question over and over again as if I hadn't answered it already because she couldn't follow what I was saying. At one point I even said to her "No, I'm NOT a new student" (after she completely misunderstood the situation due to not understanding anything) and after using 100% of her English skills she mist have managed to grasp 'new' and 'student' because her response was "Ohhh you're a new student". Facepalm. Frankly I'm suprised she even understands the word 'student' because she asked me if I'm student or staff (I'm very clearly a student..), I responded "student" and yet she proceeded to ask me the same thing 2 more times.

I was honestly so peeved that I eventually asked her to bring someone who spoke English which got people nearby staring at me like I'm the bad guy. I felt like an ass for saying that since I'm normally a very patient person but truthfully I shouldn't have to be patient everyday. If you can't speak English, you shouldn't be working this job. It's not fair on everyone else and it's natural people may begin to get frustrated....

I can't even begin to understand who is hiring these people for these roles and how this is happening

Liberals bought Jason Arday's "30 marathons in 36 days" lie because they see black people as magical creatures, not real humans.

Not only that, but when finally forced to face the extremely obvious lies, they react in anger at the people who expose the lies, accusing them of racism. They're upset not that they were conned but that their fantasy was disrupted.

If they treated Jason Arday like they do other white people, then they would have been perfectly capable of seeing through the bullshit from the beginning and this whole sad story could have been avoided.

We need to talk about the radicalization of *MANY* women

Thanks to the rules of this sub, I have to clarify I’m not generalising all women or they will take my post down. Anyway, in light of the Lindsay Clancy trial and the surrounding discourse, I think it’s time to have a conversation about women today and how radicalized they have become. It’s easy to dunk on redpill men, the manosphere, Andrew Tate etc. That is all within the bounds of acceptable discourse and every mainstream outlet has given their take on said topics. However, no one, not even most ‘conservatives’ want to talk about what is happening to women, especially young women. This Lindsay Clancy trial is the perfect example. She methodically strangles her three children to death, even chasing after one who tried to escape and they raise almost a million dollars for her. A million dollars for a woman who committed an act of unspeakable evil. Even many ‘conservative’ women are defending her and I think it speaks to the core issue with modern women. They loathe accountability. They loathe agency. They demand all the rights of men, but none of the responsibilities. But, can we surprised? Massachusetts just passed a law allowing abortion up to birth and this was universally praised by women. For some less extreme examples, we can talk about how Alex Cooper is the most popular podcast with women, spreading promiscuity, girlboss feminism, disrespect for men or how women’s literature is all hyper-violent erotica, many women admit to having grape fantasies (yes that is true) etc etc. So yes, the point is it’s easy to condemn the red-pill but how many of you are brave enough to condemn the pink-pill?

Lindsay Clancy does not deserve the sympathy she is getting and Patrick Clancy does not deserve the hate he is getting. It proves that to a lot of women, men will never be enough.

I understand Postpartum Psychosis/depression is real. I am not trying to downplay a real diagnosis that affects thousands of women every day. But to outright defend and “stand with” someone who strangles her 3 babies, one after the other…. That’s just ridiculous. That takes time to do. That’s not a quick and easy thing to get done. Whether she was in a state of psychosis or not she deserves to spend the rest of her life locked up somewhere.

I think men need to take a hard look at the women who are supporting Lindsay Clancy or pointing the finger at Patrick Clancy and note them as walking red flags and avoid having any type of relationship with them.

This whole situation is kinda the perfect example of how influencers on TikTok have way more control over public opinion, than should be possible or allowed. We have a bunch of truecrime wine box moms who think they know better than anyone else, giving their opinions as if it is fact and dragging a man through the mud, who had to find his children murdered by the woman he chose to build a life with.

Even the women who don’t think he did it, say he didn’t do enough… somehow still they find a way to pin it on him.

It’s really not fair to say Patrick “didn’t do enough” when you look at what he actually did. He took paternity leave, worked from home, helped with the kids, they had a nanny, and both sides of the family were brought in to help when Lindsay got worse. When she was barely sleeping, he changed their sleeping arrangements so she could get better rest and they canceled plans because of her mental health. He knew about her medications and treatment, drove her to specialized psychiatric care, went back to speak directly with her doctors, and when she was scared and didn’t want to go to McLean, he told her she had to go. He visited her while she was hospitalized and spoke with her doctors there too. Even the day of the murders, he was home taking care of two of the kids while Lindsay took the other to an appointment.

Obviously with hindsight you can point to things that could’ve been done differently, but that’s very different from saying he abandoned her or didn’t support her. She had a husband and extended family actively helping her, plus multiple mental-health professionals treating her. It’s hard to look at all of that and reasonably claim he just didn’t care or didn’t try.

The next president to oversee a decline in the national debt—if that ever happens—will be less popular than any president of the modern era, by far.

The American people either don't understand what our financial situation is, or they are in denial about it, or they don't care about it because they are almost dead and will not be around for the consequences.

Our current debt picture is not sustainable. Barring some AI miracle from Elon Musk's fantasies, our national insolvency leaves us with the following options: (1) We're either going to have to dramatically raise taxes (well beyond the billionaire class). (2) Or we are going to have to dramatically cut spending (well beyond just military spending). (3) Or we are going to have to do both. (4) Or we are going to have to pull off the most globally destabilizing, reputationally destructive feat of financial scammery in all history.

The problem with the options where we actually pay the debt or cut spending is that no politicians would survive this. Trump is extremely unpopular. Biden was very unpopular. George Bush and Obama weren't exactly loved at the end of their terms either. But the president who is around when we address the debt is going to be run out of DC with pitchforks.

People don't understand how much of a heavy lift it would be at this point to change the direction of that debt chart. Wealth taxes on rich people would get us like 5-10% there. And that would completely tank the economy immediately.

Once the billionaire money is gone, everyone's eating rice and beans in retirement now. Imagine boomers being told that medicare doesn't cover anything cancer or alzheimer's related anymore. If you can't swing the treatments from your life savings, take some dilaudid and valium on your way out. We'll make ya comfortable. Imagine gen z being told that there aren't any special student loan repayment options anymore. $500-$1500/month installments are now required or wages are going to start getting garnished. Injured vet? Sorry, the pension program for injured vets is now gone. Here is a coupon booklet instead. Try learning how to vibe code. Finally graduated med school and making the big bucks? Taxes are going to run you about 60% hopefully the rest covers your loans and everything else.

Barring some miracle, we are looking at a level of austerity that American's haven't seen since the great depression. The interest alone is more than our entire government used to cost not long ago.

If technology doesn't rescue us, something extremely dark is coming. And democracy does not provide a way out. The people only know how to vote for less tax and more welfare. They don't know any other way.

Speech control/hate speech laws are authoritarianism, Tolerance paradox at best is a misinterpretation of karl popper, he meant that we should suppress intolerant actions not words

They’ll Ban the Nazis First, then the nationalists and then the patriots.

Speech control and hate speech laws are inherently authoritarian, granting states dangerous power to police thought. The widely cited "tolerance paradox" is heavily misinterpreted. Karl Popper did not advocate for censoring offensive or bigoted words. Instead, he argued that society should counter intolerance with rational argument and public opinion. Popper explicitly stated that we should only suppress the intolerant when they refuse to engage in rational debate and instead resort to deceptive propaganda, violence, or actions. Censoring words misreads his philosophy and enables state tyranny

Kamala Harris didn't lose because she's a woman, she lost because the left lost the support of men

Men who wouldn't vote for a woman to be president would never blue left even if their lives depended on it. She lost because the left lost the support of moderates. That's why they lost 6 million votes between 2020 and 2024. This isn't 2020; much of the policies of the left has gone from near-universal support to controversial because they played on our emotions like with George Floyd's death. But now, logic has caught up with emotions.

Arguing with an older senior citizen is not wrong

We have been taught that we have to respect our elders while growing up but we all deserve respect and standing disrespect coming from somebody who is over 30 or 40 years older than you doesn't have to exclude you from giving back your arguments.

I mean that you still can defend yourself especially if that older person is insulting you without being too "defensive" we all have to tolerate older until certain points but consenting lack of respect just because its an older person (who probably did worst things during their youth) just because they say or could be your "grandfather or grandmother" ? I do think thats unfair and illogical.

Some people may never change and no matter how old you are. Most people get worst as they age in their flaws and good in their natural gifts. Life is life and I get it that simce we are little, the older have a voice to speak first and all that but taking and using that as an advantage its not OK especially if you are over 21 and are a grown adult that can face their battles with reasonable arguments. What do you think?

Multiculturalism does not work.

The United States is often cited as a prime example. People say America is a melting pot and a symbol of success.

I don’t think so. Different cultures merely coexist on American soil, rather than truly integrating with one another. As populations from different cultures grow, these conflicts will only intensify in the future. What appears to be peaceful coexistence is merely a façade crafted by the left. If cultures were truly integrated, you wouldn’t see people from different backgrounds largely choosing to live in separate areas.

A nation with a single culture is relatively stable. Different national cultures should cooperate with one another, rather than being forcibly merged together.

George flyod was a violent, drugged counterfeiter and Derek chauvin did what he was trained to do. He died due to an accidental drug overdose not due to lack of air.

In the Minnesota police manual, Derek was literally taught if someone is resisting then put your leg over a detainee to resist their movement. Flyod was saying I can’t breathe long before Derek arrested him and this whole BLM was just an excuse to vandalise and rob stores. Not generalising here but the amount of support a convicted felon got is insane.
