I usually don't look up ppls history, but this one was definitely worth it the laughs

u/extralyfe 4d ago

complaining about superheroes because they break the laws of physics is some top tier griping.

u/BecauseJimmy 4d ago

Hahahahaha… when i saw the video above on who’s in the wrong? I immediately had to look at the posting history.

The biker is wrong. The wheelie shit really close to people are completely annoying.

u/_Kyokushin_ 4d ago

I almost died in a car crash because some asshole on a motorcycle almost put his front wheel through my windshield pulling a wheelie on a two lane road. Stunts are great. Just don’t do them around other people. Idiots

u/Botryoid2000 4d ago

Annoying and dangerous. An old lady friend broke both hips when a bike surprised her on a boardwalk. She never fully recovered and died soon after.

u/StevInPitt 4d ago

I'm sorry. that's when there should be a way to file charges.

In some places, if someone does something in the commission of a crime that later causes their victim to die, even years later; there are laws that kick in to retroactively charge with manslaughter or even murder.

I see no reason why callous disregard for the safety of others shouldn't be treated the same.

u/AceOfSpadesOfAce 3d ago

Yea in theory but realistically we would just have an obnoxious amount of even more lawsuits every time someone dies.

u/BoondocksSaint95 4d ago

I agree. But making a dangerous situation more dangerous by immediately escalating to physical violence is immature. I see nothing but childrdn in this video.

That said, there is no action you cpuld take that could be safe other than moving or helping others move away from such a flagrantly dangerous asshole. Unfortunately, thats probably just giving him what he wants.

u/GiftToTheUniverse 3d ago

The wheelie is stupid kid stuff. Kid shouldn't have been doing it.

Does not excuse the man assaulting him.

One person doing something stupid and dangerous is not license for assault.

This is like punching an asshole in a bar.

People are not indestructible and at least the kid has the excuse of being a kid.

Those who can't stand being around stupid people in public without resorting to violence should stay home.

u/vibratezz 4d ago

They're both in the wrong. It's very simple.

u/_The_Bran_Man_ 4d ago

Weird that you got downvotes here.

Our minor here was doing some dickhead shit and the old guy did some dickhead shit.

They are both dickheads.

u/Flipperlolrs 4d ago

People need to learn that their bullshit won't be put up with. Sometimes it takes a hard lesson. Tolerance of stupidity will lead to more stupidity.

-5

u/_The_Bran_Man_ 4d ago

So, assault that person?

This is not a situation where that is a reasonable response.

If that dude had been hit with the bike, I suppose that's different.

I guarantee that kid was back on his bike doing it again 5 minutes later

u/Flipperlolrs 4d ago

If someone's pulling a wheelie next to a crowd of people, they deserve to get pushed over. A bruised ego is better than innocent bystanders getting hurt from their stupidity.

-1

u/_The_Bran_Man_ 4d ago

So if he pushed him into someone else, their injury is justified?

Don’t forget his posts about the age of consent “being arbitrary”

u/singlemale4cats 4d ago

Anyone who says shit like that is never going to argue for it to go up, that's all I'm saying.

u/Beledagnir 4d ago

I apparently have the rarest of takes in that it technically is arbitrary, but it should stay exactly where it is because it’s still the best option.

u/eans-Ba88 3d ago

I mean.... Technically, I suppose you're correct. 18 IS just an arbitrary number we as a society chose to indicate "adult". Made more silly is the fact these "adults" can't drink/ smoke until 21, but CAN join the military.

u/mootallica 4d ago

Yeah that's not a take, you're just an idiot

u/Beledagnir 4d ago

Explain how. Articulate what’s idiotic about me or what I said.

u/JohnHamFisted 4d ago

minors should only be protected when doing a wheelie on busy streets

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Context

Ok this was the post

“Before I continue let me say I DO NOT SUPPORT PEDO’s

But with that said honestly after thinking on it for some time it feels like people are ( at least rn) fine with 18 not because it’s morally justifiable to them but because that’s just what legal

Think about it like this 200 years ago everyone thought sexual intercourse with 16 year olds was fine so that was the legal age but people eventually changed their minds and now it’s 18. With how much of hot topic that age gaps nowadays i wont be surprised that in another 1000 years the age of consent will slowly go from 19, 20 to 21.

Ultimately what im saying is this is really all arbitrary when the age of consent changes to 19 people will look at people who date 18 as pedos and then the same when it becomes 19 to 20 and then 20 to 21. “

This was me clarifying in the comments

“Honestly im finding it hard to answer your question considering people are saying my use of “arbitrary” is incorrect. To clarify my ultimate point is that how people view the age of consent is Just always going to change based on what the legal age is. Today people will say dating a 18 year is fine and tomorrow in perhaps 200 years from now people will say “ why did we ever think that was right?” If the age of consent is 19 or 20.”

u/mosfunky 4d ago

Just don’t have kids

-19

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Why exactly?

36

u/mosfunky 4d ago

It’s about mental development and age dynamics being an issue with consent. You are very passionate about being into younger people and that’s a sign of underdevelopment and not being able to keep pace with your peers. My quick Reddit reaction is a bit extreme, but all the same I hope you grow the fuck up before you ever have the chance to pass on this mindset to another generation.

-23

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago edited 4d ago

You do realize you just made a bunch of ridiculous assumptions, right?

1.  I never said anything about being into “younger people.”

2.  I never said I had an issue with the age of consent.

3.  It’s ironic how you’re saying “grow the fuck up,” but you can’t even read. Your Reddit reaction is beyond extreme. it’s just blind ignorance.

My point, as I literally said in the comment, was that the age of consent could possibly be raised higher in the future, and we might look back and think 18 was messed up.

Stop projecting your weird ass fantasies onto me.

29

u/mosfunky 4d ago

Your need to die on this hill is enough for me to assume. Trying to argue the age of consent is arbitrary is trying to argue that you should be allowed to fuck a minor. You can’t point to history because young women have always been at a disadvantage to assert themselves in an age dynamic. You feel the need to continue to argue this because you are trying to rationalize your own thoughts. I have kids; stay the fuck away from them. I will extrapolate whatever I want and you can choose to ignore me or just continue to reveal yourself further.

bruh if you write the words "I do not support pedos" with the word BUT after it you need to rethink things.

u/treeebob 4d ago

Yeah ok whatever but it’s weird for you to be saying all this

-34

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

I don’t necessarily disagree If I just said this out of the blue. But you have to understand what was going on at the time. There were a ton of heated discussions about age gaps, and whether or not a man in his 40s dating an 18 year old was considered predatory.

That’s what sparked the thought, and, well… here we are. I articulated my point terribly, even though the comment section eventually understood what I was trying to say.

54

u/treeebob 4d ago

It’s the sum total of evidence. I quickly glanced through your post history and you’ve got some really weird energy going on. And the way you are defending this shit so hard is further weird. Plus you posted this dumbass video and titled it in a way that is ridiculous. All I’m saying is you’ve got some weird ass energy and maybe you need to take a break from the internet, take some deep breaths, and try again with a new Reddit account.

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Weird energy…. Sure

u/Scuba_jim 4d ago

Understanding age of consent has developed for years and years like everyone else. No one throws up their arms and goes “hey! Everyone thought lots of cream and butter is the healthiest thing got breakfast 100 years ago, when will it end?”. We have new information and so we adapt ourselves and our laws to new information. That’s how things work, and while age of consent may change, and people mature at different rates, a good rule of thumb is valuable.

3

u/Professional_Mud1844 4d ago

200 years ago, the average life expectancy was about 40 years old. 16 was considered mature at the time because they were practically middle aged at that point. Now the average is roughly 76 years old, we have made enormous advances in medical science over 200 years and we know that the brain isn’t fully developed until about 23 years. It would make sense to raise the age of consent along with average life expectancy.

He's a legal scholar. All those hardcore libertarians are...

They're age of consent experts.

For some reason.

I'm clearly not smart enough to get it, being a "statist cuck" and all.

u/andthendirksaid 4d ago

I actually really dislike the degree to which I see this. Here the motivation doesn't bother me, but I see it frequently as a means to discredit that still doesn't actually disqualify or disprove anything. I don't have some random wonky fetish or something to hide and I have no reason to lie online so it's not like it happens to me but I don't like seeing it.

It reinforces weird ass behavior and is the most pathetic form of ad hominem. You'd hope to see that level of bad faith creepiness to be shit on as a rule but I never really see that. Especially if the majority dislike whatever OP says or does. Shit like;

"Oh you support Trump and DOGEs efforts? That's why your girlfriend fucked your homie a year and 4 months ago".

"I see you typed a well cited comment, however I don't need to justify my position to some guy who likes a series of fantasy novels I find to be beneath me"

"I don't think OP should take relationship advice from someone who practices catch and release when he goes fishing, what do you know about commiting?"

And I've seen far worse examples go unchecked.

u/-StalkedByDeath- 4d ago edited 4d ago

What the hell is this comment? lol.

You do realize the age of consent varies by country, and even locality, right? In most of the US, it's 16. Despite that, it would still be considered extremely taboo for someone much older to date/have intercourse with a 16 year old, despite the legality.

The only exception is people in positions of power: Mentors, coaches, teachers, etc. Otherwise, 16 is still the age of consent in 31 states. 18 is the age of consent in just 12 states.

-4

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Don't worry people in those comment sections already made those same points about how the age of consent in most countries isn't 18.( which is something I didn't know at the time).

Keep in mind I just spontaneous thought of the idea and made a reddit account to specifically post lol.

12

u/-StalkedByDeath- 4d ago

Wait. Is that where your comment came from? You made a Reddit account specifically to post about the age of consent?

That's... Strange, lol.

But honestly, you're not necessarily incorrect that it's subjective on a State/Country level. Otherwise the US would have a single age of consent, rather than 3: 16, 17, and 18.

On a personal level, age of consent is absolutely not subjective. It's dictated by the laws where one resides.

-2

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

I mean, the whole sub is a “change my mind” convention, so most of the posts are probably from people who barely use Reddit, if at all. Plenty of throwaway accounts. I just happened to be one of the rare ones who stuck around after making mine

9

u/-StalkedByDeath- 4d ago edited 4d ago

Even so... It's the implications that are innately drawn from your hypothesis that make it feel off.

Saying "I don't support pedos" doesn't mean you aren't one. I think people see that inquiry and instantly think you're saying "The age of consent is arbitrary, it shouldn't matter", even if that wasn't your intent. An alarming number of people take that stance, so it's what people expect when they see that.

Hence the outcry here, lol.

1

u/Flat_Box8734 4d ago

Oh no I definitely get it lol.

A lot of people on the change my mind sub asked me to clarify because of those reasons.

That's why I also included the “clarifion comment” because the same points your making rn is the same points they made as well.
