Sure, there is nothing wrong with wanting love. In fact, I don't think that there is anything wrong with wanting anything, even if it's to be an overlord of the universe and have everyone kneel when you enter the room, or to lock your asshole neighbour in the basement and do unspeakable things to them - desires are not evil, even the "bad ones" are harmless as long as you know better than to act on them. But entitlement is a whole different can of worms. Entitlement is an idea that the world owes you the thing you want simply because you want it. And it's especially problematic when it comes to love and affection, because there are other people with their own agency involved. Wanting someone to notice you, care about you and love you is one thing, demanding that they do it simply because you want it and demonizing them for not doing is a very different and very problematic thing. Anyone can want anything, but we all just have to accept the fact we can't always get what we want, and usually it's not because we're unfairly mistreated by the entire Universe, it's just bad luck and really noone's fault.
That's just my (probably unpopular) opinion though. Not trying to start an argument or say that anyone who disagrees is wrong, we're all entitled to our own opinions. Love and peace folks, I'm the person that is advised to go suck a dick a lot anyways

My problem here is with people (who mostly are the ones who have great lives and are loved) who use this expression "you're not entitled to..." as a way to make someone shut up, a way to shutdown the thoughts and feelings of those who are socially unacceptable. And it's not only about love here, but about all things in general. If you're somehow different in any department and express your suffering, there will always be one who will say "you're not entitled to" to dismiss your problem and make you feel worse. It's happened to me on Reddit a while ago and it really affected me.

But, going back to the topic of love, it's not only a want, but also a NEED. I mean come on, it's listed even on Maslow's Pyramid of needs. Telling someone that they're not entitled to love is as if you're telling them they're not entitled to food or water.

And the last part, I've said not out of rudeness, but because I was fed up. I regret it ngl but can't edit my comment anymore.

I wish my "parents" were sterilized, antinatalist, asexual, homoromantic, transpeople.

Eh, that wasn't really rude, that was just you venting, perfectly valid.

What can I say...not all spaces are good spaces for venting and finding compassion. Whatever dark corner of Reddit this whole thing happened at, it probably was not a very compassionate space. Sorry this happened.

People self-censor to protect themselves,
The dumb ones are in jail getting tortured without achieving anything effective,
smart ones go into exile without having their safety jeopardised.

Some portion of those committed suicide, in the most extreme cases but life is really "just a game" if you don't get out of what you cannot accept.

Hanging out on weekdays and/or in the morning is favorable to avoid crowds

I have always wanted to eat at a michelin star restaurant but at the same time, I'd probably have to wait for a long time before getting the food (either the restaurant was full so it took time to make the food, or the waiting times for the restaurant would be really long, I've heard they were three months for one restaurant) and the portion would be t-i-n-y.



And anyone would be an idiot to pay 100 dollars for this. It's literally a rotten old leaf. Yes, that's a fusion between a carrot and a sausage of all things, proving that evolution is real, and different species can make babies together.

I wouldn't eat this for free

Weed is boring and lame. Most overrated drug ever. It just makes me even dumber than I already am.

There should be more mathematics classes in school. The world would be a better place if more people could do their own math, thus make their own informed decisions.

suicide can be prevented most effectively,
when the individual's "problem" is resolved at its very root.

"Do something about it".

Voting in the U.S. isn't worth the effort.

 

[Green Destiny]

Voting in the U.S. isn't worth the effort.

In this day and age it's a crapshoot voting in the U.S because both parties don't give 2 fucks about the people they "Represent"

 

[leavinghope]

Voting in the U.S. isn't worth the effort.

Is voting anywhere worth the effort? I know the whole "if no one votes, a candidate can just vote for himself and win" argument but c'mon. Value of a single vote is inversely proportional to the total number of votes received. When you already know that a significant portion of the population will be voting, what's the point? Why bother travelling a few kms and waiting in a line or even registering/logging on a website for that matter? It's basically a total waste of time.

Hey thought it might be interesting to hear everyone's unpopular opinions.

I'll start:

I don't like anime or manga

pls don't hate me...haha

NakeyJakey is not funny. Most humor on youtube sucks dick. I hate the death of edgy humor and I miss Filthy Frank. Let's Go Brandon is not funny or clever at all, in fact it's downright pathetic, Joe Biden only said to mock the right! I really don't like search algorithms, just quit fucking up my random shitposting fest Facebook, Youtube, Instagram and every single social media app ever made! Fuck, I don't care about some lame ass meme about the kuwait war just because I saw the one about the Cannibals in China fucking up the rebellion army! Just let me see some dank memes and for god sakes give me back my old edgy humor please!

 

[TriggerHappy]

Is there something wrong with me?
So; when I Ctb I used to want a quiet, peacefull ritualistic shove-off into the afterlife...
But lately (& those that know & love me will understand) I've been wanting to kinda cause a major blast (no pun intended) when I go. I want to blow the whole hotel I'm staying in; skyhigh. Take as many fuckers as I can with me. No one is innocent...
I've shared my fucked up childhood and my serial killer tendencies as well as my s&m blood fetishism and am dealing with them... my relationship to a lover & my addiction has spiralled out of control & maybe this is a need for communicating my hurt I don't know :: I'm shooting speedballs (with crystal meth as a cocktail and khat) and am told (by experienced, loving friends on this site) that my destructive, unfeeling tendencies may be as a result of this.
honestly...this is just an urge. But I'm reading Anarchists Cookbook as a guide just in case...
I am struggling to feel anything anymore. It's awful.
Pls advise.

Ice cubes have no place in drinks unless you're nauseous, going on a hike in the summer or pouring yourself some hard alcohol on the rocks. Otherwise, they ruin the flavour of the drink. In any case, though, they get in the fuckin' way.

Twitter posts should not even be posted as memes. It's very low effort.

Hey now take that back. All you got to do is put the green beans in cooking bowl to put on top of a stove, find a hot sauce you like and put a lot of that hot sauce in the green beans until the liquid is reddish and put some spices like salt/pepper. I also put put diced tomatoes in mine but it's whatever and then let it simmer medium-heat for about 20 minutes and presto you got some good fucking green beans bro.

 

[Crocodiledundee]

I hate the smell and taste of coffee. Coffee anything is vile.

Lol coffee is the stuff of legends that brings people together

Natural is just better

Tatoos, piercings, nail polish, fake/boobs/lips/whatev, makeup, lipstick etc. are all disgusting and almost make me want to throw up

My ex accused me of trying to make her ugly by not encouraging her to do all these things

Due to recent trends in politics and society, I'm slowly turning into a knee-jerk misogynist.
I think we should go back to restricting some of what females are allowed to do.

I'll stop there before I get banned for hate speech LOL

The problem is not women, but the whole financial system that enslave us with debt. Blame the elite group who owns the private banks, the central banks of every nation and the world financial pyramid scheme.
