"Hi, I'm an overweight, conventionally-unattractive woman who's decided to become non-binary because I'm otherwise of little interest to anyone for any reason."

I think most "non-binary" people are uggos or people who feel they're uggos. Well, and sometimes there's the hot girl/boy who dares you to call them the other gender.

The other option is people who think a girl who knows how to change a tire makes her not a girl but doesn't want to go full trans.

They usually don't want to put much work into it I think. I don't care if women prefer to take whatever you'd call it, butch look? Want to dress more masculine for practical purposes? Whatever. But then if they complain about how no men want to date them it's like, do you want to date some fat stereotypical incel type or would you rather date someone who knows how to shave/get a haircut/dress nice? Sure the gendered standards aren't exactly equal between the sexes but the same things apply. Dress nice, do something with your hair, or just generally have a nice personality, and you can make up for your lack of natural assets, true enough for both sexes.

Yep. They are ugly both physically and mentally, and they revel in it.

"I'll stop right now."
Sound of skin darkening
"Now, you're still under arrest, but I can use the word 'Nigger' in public now. I'm going to read you your rights, my nigger."

For the vast majority of police interactions, it's a very simple set of rules to get by with.

1) Don't want to have an interaction to begin with? Don't do shit that gets police attention.

2) Know what your rights are. Not the so-called "rights" that every armchair expert on Reddit, Tiktok, or Twitter claims exist, or that you think you learned from Law & Order last week, but your actual rights as presented in your city/county/state laws.

3) While cops might not be your friends, they are people. So just observing the basics of courtesy can be to your benefit. And if it's not, then you don't lose anything by it. Act like a retarded ball of hate and outrage though, and you shouldn't be too surprised when you find the cop isn't willing to be cool with you.

Wait are you saying I shouldn't get really irate and try to grab the officer's gun?

[–]ClassroomPast6178 4 insightful - 8 fun4 insightful - 7 fun5 insightful - 8 fun -  (1 child)

I wasn’t gonna grab that officer’s gun,
But I got high.
I wasn’t gonna shoot him dead and run,
But I got high.

Now I’m sitting on a cloud and I know why,
Because I got high,
Because I got high,
Because I got high.

It's only a winning move if the goal is to win that coveted Darwin Award. Or, if you're more of the ethnic persuasion and part of a demographic stereotypically associated with criminal behavior, the equally-coveted George Floyd Community Improvement Award.

Thinks being NB makes her somehow special Attempts to control the cop via compelled speech Claims to be afraid in an attempt to manipulate the cop into letting her off Doesn’t believe she should be held accountable

Once again, can’t help but notice consistent patterns of behavior from certain groups over and over again.

I’d love to see a study done on these people that focuses on how they were raised. I think it would be very telling and we’d see some common themes appear. Too many of them act like spoiled, selfish and immature twats for their upbringing to not be a factor.

As a parent to a young child, one of the things I always stress to him is accountability. You do wrong, you suffer a consequence (I’m not some drill Sargent kind of parent, but that’s just the way the world works). So, make good choices and you’ll keep yourself out of trouble. And he almost always makes good decisions.

I know some people with grade school aged kids who are simply not disciplined nearly enough. And in those cases, one of the parents (usually the mother) actively runs interference for the kid against the other parent when the kid acts like a little shit.

The result in all instances are kids who are very immature for their age, behave at times in an almost feral manner (watching a 9 year old put their mouth on a plate and scrape food into it because they won’t learn how to properly use utensils is quite a site) and who think everyone else exists to bend to their will.

Yes, a lot of the stuff we talk about on here is caused by a number of factors but I feel like we as a society don’t ask nearly often enough “what the fuck were their parents doing?”

It should be news to no one that a lot of the trendy fender specials are sociopaths.

Course sociopaths gravitate towards whatever trendy stuff they think grants them social clout and control over people. Vegans are another one. Normal Vegans just have a stupid diet but aren't impositional about it and understand the world won't change to accommodate them. But sociopath vegans will never shut up about how being vegan makes them better, and loves the fact that social gatherings revolve around food as it gives them a means to control the menu ( or play victim when their control effect fails)

Woe is me I can only eat this one thing at the buffet and it's not so good. Woe is me. When in reality they can eat anything on the buffet if they choose to. And they choose to only eat that one thing. Self imposed suffering.

Sociopaths will just do this for whatever they can get away with though. Think being gay gives them an edge, oh boy here come all gay people who say they are "bi" for clout but are for all intents and purposes straight except for the rainbow shirt.

Or even in churches really, crazy church sociopaths have long been a plague on society and I think it's only in recent years as the church is no longer the social clout avenue it was before have they become less relevant.

But I think there's always two elements that draw them, does thing let me feel superior to others, does thing let me manipulate others and control them.

Pandering to these people doesn't work. It's like 'affirming' a child having a tantrum. Note how her behaviour escalated whenever the cop starts accommodating her. First she has no physical problems, then she has some mental problems, then she's going on about her gender identity or lack thereof. When he plays along with that she immediately starts escalating to 'intergenerational trauma', PTSD, intersectional grievances.amd any other buzzword she can remember. Her behaviour degenerates to yelling and non-compliance.

One wonders how things would have gone down if the cop had taken an authoritative approach from the start, told her not to argue with him, that he wasn't interested in her life story. I suspect she would have acted more like a functional -albeit drunk- adult.

On the plus side, it's easier to try and pretend these people can get out of it through identity politics, considering how "people yelling sexual assault or rape to try and get the officer to let them go out of fear is a very common tactic used at police stops." Better to make them think the 'Get out of Consequences Free' card online can work.

I like the part where she is like "I social anxiety"

And the cop is like "damn me too, now blow into the the breathalyzer".

[–]ClassroomPast6178 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That cop was not taking any shit, but at the same time remained completely professional and non-confrontational. A really good example for how to engage with these awful people.

heavy SovCit vibe here

[–]LordoftheFliesAmeri-kin 2.0. Pronouns: MegaWhite/SuperStraight/UltraPatriarchy 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Seeing this makes me now wonder how the whole SovCit thing would work with a leftist/progressive ideology. Because all of the SovCit types that I've seen or heard of--though admittedly, that's a couple dozen at best; they irritate me too much to go actively looking for their nonsense--tend to come off as varying levels of right/conservative.

[–]Alienhunter糞大名 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'd say the SovCit types common trend is they are stupid but think that using big words makes them smart and that it works like a magic spell on the police or something. Similar to woke really in that aspect. Lots of big important sounding words strung together in a way that means nonsense but acts like a magic incantation that lets you alter reality to your whim.

The SovCit types seem to me to come from more of an anti-authoritarian strand which I'd say is more of a left wing anti-establishment ideological mindset but they are so stupid that any real analysis of their ideological positions is simply an act of insanity itself. They basically just want to get out of traffic tickets and have convinced themselves that they are somehow right and can just spout bullshit to get out of it. Kinda like a toddler that tries to explain why they aren't in trouble and not doing the thing they are obviously doing when caught red handed.

One thing to say that the cops shouldn't have the right or don't have the legal right to do something, another thing to argue with the guy that has the gun. As I've always said there's a good place and time to fight the cops and stand up for your rights, and that place is court.

[–]OuroborosTheory 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

there ARE some cults that try to pull the same deal but with an ethnic twist--Nuwaubians claiming Black people aren't from Africa and were the original residents, fake Native tribes, fake Prince Hall Masonic lodges (Kamala Harris was caught giving them deputies' badges and the doctor who killed Michael Jackson tried to flee with a fake "get out of jail free" card)

another funny dimension here is that these groups aren't "liberal" in the US sense--most Cherokee leaders sided with the Confederates because the chieflings were slaveowners, they adopted the one-drop rule to cut thousands from their membership as late as the 1990s, and an open Prince Hall meeting was the only place I had to recite the Pledge of Allegiance after leaving high school

Ugh! Seen this one. Guess what? When you drive drunk, you don't get pronouns. Fucking racist cunt. I love how they use mental illness as an excuse, but never as an explanation. Like, if you're too mentally ill to live, maybe you shouldn't be driving, ma'am.

[–]ClassroomPast6178 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I have zero sympathy for anyone who drives drunk. I know that it’s not looked down upon in the same way over there but over here drunk drivers are really only considered one step above paedos. Everyone hates them with a passion and if the government said that they were going to imprison drunk drivers for life people would be fine with that.

The public campaign against drunk driving in the UK is probably the most effective of its type ever.

[–]Alienhunter糞大名 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

US I think it's more a consequence of looser drink driving laws. Larger distances that do make just getting to the pub a bit more of a challenge, and just the massive car culture in general congeals to a looser cultural attitude towards it I suppose. Though I'd say drunk drivers are looked down upon in the US by most everyone and a DUI conviction has some really serious implications beyond the legal penalties since employers look at it as basically "this person is a dumbass that can't fucking plan ahead"

The thing is though we can't really talk about the differences in US vs UK culture around drunk driving I think before we talk about the differences in drinking culture in general. Laws on alcohol consumption in the US are generally a lot stricter, attitudes towards drinking in general tend to be a lot more harsh with the judgemental teatotaler types everywhere.

The cheeky lunch beer I've had with UK work colleagues would probably get your fired in a lot of places in the US at the worst. And I've had Americans call me an alcoholic to my face because they saw me have a single beer with dinner two nights in a row.

True. You can get multiple DUIs and lose your license permanently and still keep your job here. But if you dare say there's two genders or masks/vax don't work, there was a time you could lose your job.
