In my experience growing up in the South...a lot of conservative women have a ridiculously high body count that they hide once they settle down.

So this scenario happens a lot.

how to randomly end up strangled

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A decade ago, my friend went on a tinder date with a guy who said he worked in "protection services". After the third date, he admitted that he's actually a cop, which she was on the fence about. He begged her to stay.

Then after three months of dating, she broke up with him, deleted her social media, lived with her parents a few states away, and cut off all contact with everyone who known her.

Only about a year ago did she finally reconnect with her social group.

So yeah, that gut check is important.

Not surprised she did all of that you basically can't break up with a cop

And.. they don't understand what a body count is and start confiding in you about all the people they murdered.

Sounds like a load of fun.

I sure like wasting my time with someone who I know would dislike something essential about me.

But hey, you go sis, stick it to the man.

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's not wasted time if you get a free meal out of it.

^ the for-profit prison system

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I'm just going to drop this link right here... (Some states charge inmates room and board)

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thanks for the link. That’s definitely true and my comment was moreso just a criticism of the prison system in general.

I’ve also archived that NPR article here because there’s certainly a possibility that “woke” (read: truthful) NPR content could start disappearing if they get defunded or otherwise targeted

No worries! Prison and jail are well worth criticizing. They charge you for anything they can get away with.

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 days ago

a load

Bit more than that if we’re going off my body count 💅

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 days ago

That's a lot of manky sex to put up with just for a joke

[–] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 51 points 3 days ago

If I were her I’d make sure to tell him in a very public place, and only if he didn’t know where I lived or worked.

[–] don@lemm.ee 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Imagine putting up with a conservative man for months, just to try to prank him about the number of sexual partners you’ve had. That says volumes more about the mental state of the pranker than the unfortunate life choice of the prankee.

[–] taxiiiii@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

It's a joke man.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Geeze people, it's a meme

[–] werewolfborg@ttrpg.network 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Kind of a dangerous move even if he’s not violent or abusive. The conservative “jokes” will rub off on her just like it’s done to girls I know.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

This is definitely the funniest argument against this idea in the thread.

[–] andybytes@programming.dev -1 points 2 days ago

Both sides of this argument is just terrible. And like most social commentary, I take no position on either side, because they are just designed to be inflammatory and not productive. I put everything through the filter of the class war and getting more money for poor people. I don't like when people pull the cart before the horse or think about their own struggles rather than the bigger picture. This is how they split up everything. Get you to focus on yourself. Why is everything extremes? Modesty doesn't have to be anything other than, caring about other people and how they feel. It is about putting others before yourself. Like let's say she is a Palestinian activist or ally, as she wants the genocide to stop. And so she takes interest in the culture of Palestinians. Let's just say this type of conversation doesn't need to be publicized but then also the Palestinian people in large are a conservative people who are highly religious and might not share the same values as her. If you are going to be an ally or an advocate of anything, you need to remember to shut your fucking mouth. It's not about you. And this is one of my biggest gripes about left wing ideology or more correctly liberal ideology. The left wing in America is liberal. Not left. I just don't like showy displays. Maybe I could put it into context and appreciate it. I mean I do understand the argument, but it's just like why even have the argument? Why don't we just talk about something that unites us, like the cost of living? I'm so sick of the culture wars. There is no war but the class war.
