People on Tumblr saying all men are pigs and rapist. Listen people just because I have a Gumshoe between my legs dosn't mean I'm a rapist or a pervert! These Tumblr people are giving Feminism a bad name by hating on men. First of all isn't Feminism supposed to be made for equality not elitism? This is just like minorities being racist to other people. I'v seen multiple videos of SJWs and Black Kights saying all white men must die. Well screw you for hating on me for looking like this. I didn't choose what I look like! This makes me want to die so much sometimes.
The majority of people on Tumblr are scum. They feel as if they're entitled to stuff by now. And don't wish for yourself to die. That's what they want! Self-righteous whales...
I agree all these quote on quote feminist probably all live in their moms basement. They all try to hard to be hipster by dying their hair and wearing fake glasses. They think they are oppressed? Please people in Saudi Arabia are oppressed not you wannabe!
Feel we are getting into a bit of a hate cycle here.
Let's take a moment to think that there are real people on tumblr and much like you correctly state not all men are monsters, not all tumblr people are as bad as you describe. If a community gets a reputation for being so severe as tumblr does then yeah it might draw some likeminded people who identify with that group but that's not to say all people do. There will be plenty of tumblr folks who think that extremists give tumblr a bad name. Even if you do come up against someone like that, probably best to stay calm and not judge them too harshly. Building barriers such as "all tumblr are scum" is a logical fallacy and will ruin any chance there is to repair the rift and eventually solve the problem.

Yeah I'm not a fan of tumblr mainly because of all the political correct stuff a lot of users(Not all) like to pull. But I am a fan of their ask blogs

I know it probably wasn't but I don't think you should classify something as bad as a whole just because of some people. Just look at Bronies they are a nice fandom but because of creepy people everyone hates them. Trust me I used to be a Brony I would know. The same thing happens to Furries, everyone thinks they're pedophiles in animal suits but they aren't that's only a small fraction of them.

Best reply: did you choose to be the skin color you are? No? Then shut the fuck up, neither did I. I never do understand it when people say they think that not-white people can't be racist. They can be just as racist as whites, and even worse.

Like this bartender probably has a cold, sneezing and handing me a drink. I really would prefer she slapped me across the face with all her strenght, it would be more polite and save me some suffering.
I go to work with a sneeze - not cause I'm rude, but because there aren't many times where I don't sneeze. It's not cause I'm sick, it could be dust in the air and such. Why don't sick employees just wear a mask over their mouth and nose at work? They don't have a sick day, but they lower the risk of infecting someone else.

Technically you can comment if you've subscribed to the blog long enough, and if you're commenting from your dashboard. And I think the owner of the blog had to enable comments, but a while ago commenting was eliminated and then brought back, so I'm not sure if this is still the case.
But I agree the whole setup is terrible, especially if you're subscribed to many blogs.

Hayfever allergies are dumb! I don't see why the body had to kill itself just because of a little pollen! My nose gets so blocked that I have to breathe through my mouth. Now my nose has been so traumatised by blowing it and sticking tissues in it that it is bleeding - quite a lot!
Allergies, in general are just stupid! Why is it that the body can survive traumatising injuries, sicknesses, etc. etc. but can't stand something as simple as peanuts? I'm glad I don't have food allergies!

My allergy of ragweed is bad too. When it's Spring or Fall I sneeze like crazy and I have a crazy bad sore throat. My noes gets clogged and I can't sleep because of it. My eyes get watery and basically I feel like I'm being tortured. Luckily if I take medicine early enough I won't feel the symptoms as bad.

Uuuurrrrrgggghh! I was late to school today because of my hayfever!!!! I swear that today it's going to kill me! It's made worse by the fact I live in a town filled with crappy coal dust! I just hope you're faring better than I am!

I mean they can't keep the servers on forever.
Do they? I thought they took that out of the Xbox1 due to massive backlash.
Also I can play my PS4 without the internet. Its pretty hindered at times but in disc stuff works fine.

I think people do that because they're lazy. I mean I quess it makes sense If they're crippled and/or old.
Speaking of which I can't stand seeing people who obviously don't need those scooters still using them and not walking around at Walmart. How lazy can you be? Also those scooters are made for people with disability's not for some guy who is to lazy to walk. Well that's how it works at my Walmart I don't know If other Walmarts have the same problem.

When I go to a restraunt and I'm done using the bathroom after I'm done washing my hands I pull my shirt sleeve over my hand so I don't have to touch the handle. I use my elbow on push doors so it's easier And faster.

To be fair, some of those people might have arm or hand related problems (carpal tunnel, arthritis, etc). Not every disability is an obvious one.

People who don't wash their hands after taking a shit deserve a place next to the folks who hover above the toilet seat and don't wipe what they left behind. May they both fall into a toilet while squatting in their best evening wear!
If you're concerned about germs though, as long as you wash your hands before you touch your face or anything you eat/drink, you should be good.

It's because of people like this, that I despise public restrooms. It's even worse when it happens inside a restaurant

I find buffets really really gross. Like most of the food has probably been touched by other people who are not the chefs. Also the food is always on the floor and it looks really gross and greasy. Most of the time kids are screaming and crying. Don't even get me started about the bathrooms.

I wash my hands literally 20 times a day. I think my hands will probably look like prunes by the time I'm 40. I am obsessed with hand hygiene, I have always been a hypochondriac, and one of my top 10 goals in life is to avoid getting sick and being clean. If I'm in a place and I hear a cough, it makes me uncomfortable. First thing I do when I get home, wash my hands. I wash them before and after everything. EXCEPT after using a public restroom.
Here is my reasoning:
That place is a cesspit. My hands won't touch anything they don't have to. My hands never actually touch anything in the bathroom, other than myself... I won't even use my hands to open the door if possible, I'll use my shoulder or forearm. I won't ever flush a toilet with my hands either, I use my foot (seriously). Anyway, after you wash your hands and use that paper towel or hand dry thing, you'll be touching again something trillions of people have touched. So, I don't touch anything. Cause even if I wash my hands, I'll have to dry them or turn off the sink. Or touch something else immediately. So it is pointless. I just got infected again.
I will wash my hands after the bathroom when I'm at home though. Not in a public place. Hell no. I'm not touching anything in that bathroom.

I hate you tell you this, but if that's your reasoning, then there's no point in going to a public restroom at all. Surfaces are not the only place that germs linger; every time someone coughs, sneezes, or flushes a toilet, germs become airborne, so you're breathing those as well. Even if you don't breathe them in, germs can still transfer to you.
Since you're not dead from breathing toilet germs, you can probably take that as a sign that it's safe to sit down.

However you are free to distrust those if you like. I would hope if you were in an automatic hands free bathroom (soap, water, flushing are all sensor activated) then you would still use them.

I can see the path a person's thinking would take to reach that incorrect conclusion and can understand why it happens, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. My understanding is that it works like this:
- I love our country.
- Since I love our country, I only support policies that are good for it.
- Not necessarily. Believing a policy to be good for our country does not make it so. It's certainly possible that the policies you support are good for our country, but it's also possible that they're actually bad for our country and you're mistaken about their benefits (or lack thereof).
- Since my support for these policies is because of my patriotism, anyone else who loves this country supports the same policies as I do.
- This assumes that all well-meaning individuals see things the exact same way you do. It also assumes that your perception of things is the correct way to see things. The former is incorrect and the latter is almost impossible to prove.
- Since the policies I support are good for this country, anyone who opposes those policies supports policies that are bad for this country.
- This builds off of your previous flawed assumptions. Someone who loves this country, but sees things differently than you do, would support different policies out of the same love for our country that you have.
- Only someone who hates our country would support policies that are bad for it.
- Only someone who hates our country would knowingly support policies that are bad for it. Building off of my previous counterpoint, it is perfectly plausible that someone could, believing a policy to be helpful, support a policy that is actually bad for our country. You are assuming that your position is objectively the correct one and that it's one that everyone can see is the correct position. While it's possible that the former is true, the latter is not.
- Therefore, anyone who disagrees with me hates our country.
The purple person's logic is flawed in several areas, as I have pointed out in the green text. The leaps of logic are quite simple, so the flaws therein are easy to miss if you're not one to question your own assumptions.
I think of political disagreements like this: The two sides are an interfaith couple. Their child is their country. Both of them love their child very much and want what they believe to be best for said child. Dad believes his religion is the correct one and Mom's religion to be a false religion. Therefore, he wants the child to be raised to follow his religion. Mom believes her religion is the correct one and Dad's religion to be a false religion. Therefore, she wants the child to be raised to follow her religion. If both follow a religion that says nonbelievers are punished in the next world, then it's even more understandable that the child's religious upbringing would be a point of disagreement between the parents, as both believe they are protecting their child from damnation. Neither parent hates their child, but due to their religious differences, each believes the other is inadvertently leading the child down a dangerous path.
I don't doubt that the overwhelming majority of the people who disagree with me politically legitimately love our country and believe that the policies they support are good for it. I disagree with them because I, too, love our country and that I believe the policies in question will do more harm than good for our country, not because I wish harm upon our country.
I'll always love you, Max.
