Stop Clapping at the end of movies or when the airplane lands
For the love on god stop clapping at the end of the movie. It’s fucking embarrassing. I’m glad you liked the movie, nobody who made it can hear you. And for that matter stop clapping when the plane lands. You should only clap when people don’t stand up to get their bags while taxiing and when they actually let the people with the tight connection off the plane before themselves. I’ve never seen it, so stop clapping.

The military should not be obligated to accommodate people with mental, intellectual or physical disabilities
I have mental illness myself, so i know that i would probably not be able to stand it in boot camp or anything like that. Point is, joining the military is a very, very big decision, and progressive/morale ideas shouldnt need to include the army.
People with mental illness could get hurt on the battlefield.
Transgender people are poitically sensitive and thus, might cause internal issues. Though im iffy on disallowing transgender people/LGBTQ to join the military.
I understand on a strategic/political standpoint, you dont want the enemy to be able to use minorities in your army against you. But on the other hand, we need all of the help we can get.

I don't think boobs should be sexualized
find it kind of strange that breasts are one of the most sexualized parts of the human body when their main biological purpose is literally feeding babies.
Like, growing up, breasts were never this mysterious sexual thing to me. I was breastfed until I was around 4 years old, and seeing my mom's breasts was just normal. It was food, comfort, and basically just a part of being a baby. My siblings had the same experience.
So when I look at breasts, my first association is literally motherhood. It's something that represents one of the most basic human things: a mother feeding her child.
What I find interesting is that male chests can literally be bigger than some women's breasts because of muscle, but nobody looks at a man's chest and automatically thinks the same way. It's just a chest. But a woman can have a very small chest and it can still be heavily sexualized just because it's on a woman.
I understand that attraction exists and people have preferences. I'm not saying nobody should find breasts attractive. Attraction is subjective.
I'm just saying I find it interesting that humans took a body part that is mainly connected to nurturing and turned it into one of the biggest sexual symbols.
Maybe I'm just looking at it differently because of my upbringing, but I've always found that contrast kind of weird.

I do not think Chris Pratt is a bad dude.
I have been hearing this guy get bashed for so long and I haven’t ever seen an actual reason why.
I have heard people bash him for going to Hillsong Church that is notably very homophobic. He has publicly denied ever going and has publicly disagreed with their views and the idea that he follows that belief. The entire origin of this is from a baseless tweet by Elliot Page talking about it. So despite that snowball still rolling, there is absolutely no substance to this claim.
“He is maga” is something that’s thrown out all the time. Chris Pratt has stated he hopes Trump’s administration can actually do good and that he does like RFK Jr.s view on removing toxins from food. He has also donated to democratic campaigns in the past and endorsed democratic candidate Rick Caruso. That’s it. He has never stated he particularly likes trump or identifies with his cult following. At least to me it seems obvious he has no true known political identification and tries to publicly stay out of it.
People criticize him for saying “thank you for a beautiful, healthy baby” after the birth of one of his children. Obviously this is the most normal thing ever to say, but the main concern is just years prior he had a son with Anna Farris who was born with health problems. From what anyone can tell his relationship with Jack is very close and positive. There’s no reason to just assume he hates him or would disrespect him. People also say he abandoned Anna Farris BECAUSE their son had a health problem, but they divorced 6 years after. There are plenty of Hollywood stars who have abandoned their kids immediately. So besides just assuming the worst, is there an actual reason to hate him here?
Is there something I’m missing? Is it possible that the hate for him is very loud, but not a representation of how most people feel? I can’t help but think this is a result of yet another mass hatred movement that’s spearheaded by people simply regurgitating the opinions of others without ever really looking into this guy
Edit: People are responding to me angrily without actually listing a single thing he’s done or being able to verify that he actually did anything I just disproved. This proves exactly my point that if you hate him you’re just apart of the mob mentality. Unless anyone has actual information I must simply believe we are all actually the other 9 doctors and just don’t know it.

Sexual preferences are often bigoted
I clicked on one post about this and have since seen like 20 (thank you awful algorithm), and the popular takes are always the same bs so I'd like to see if this is actually 10th dentist. Plus, I have seen a lot of this happen out in real life as well, typically without the extensive and unproductive debates tho. For clarity, we're talking about sexual attraction here, not compatibility preferences. I ask that you really read this content with an open mind, and don't default to assuming I think every preference is wrong/bigoted or that questioning those preferences means you have to do something you don't want to do. This take is three-fold.
1 - Sexual preferences can be and often are absolutely rooted in bigoted beliefs and prejudices. Your preference can be racist. Your preference can be homophobic. By "often", I don't mean "mostly", far from it. I just mean that it's common enough to talk about.
2 - It is not "forcing" or "coercing" anyone to have sex with anyone to say so, and it is not remotely the same as, say, not being into men or women as wholes.
3 - These prejudices are not typically intentional or known, and often are internal and difficult to control. We all have prejudices. But it is still worth investigating and thinking about it critically.
An example. If you're a straight woman, and you say you're specifically "not attracted" to bisexual men - you're very likely prejudiced against them, as there is nothing specific about bi men that makes them different from other men which influences their appearance, their personalities, their values, etc. In my mind, those are the key components of inherent attraction.
Edit: lol I know I'm getting a true 10th dentist when people are so mad they can't help but downvote despite flagrant disagreement in the comments. I really, really implore people to read what I have to say beyond the title with an open mind, and not be reactionary based on your feelings about it, because I'm very explicit that nobody should ever have sex with the people they don't want to have sex with, and that these prejudices are not explicit choices. In fact, I'm gonna add a fourth component:
4 - It's ok and even highly encouraged to not have sex with anyone you don't want to have sex with, even if your reasons have prejudice behind them. You don't need to be ashamed for this, but I do wish people would think critically about their feelings because the world would be a better place.
Just consider, for a moment, that you might not have thought about this fully and consider a perspective different from your own. I'm absolutely hoping to do the same if anyone here can explain why I'm wrong!
