  • People always remark how /r/relationshipadvice tells everyone to break up without considering 2 self selection biases:

    1. People in happy healthy relationships don’t ask for a lot of advice. “I love my wife, we go on weekly dates, have couples therapy, are helping each other in our careers and our sex has never been better. Wat do?” is not something people will post
    2. If you go to a drama discussion, shockingly, more dramatic content gets more attention. More drama in relationships almost always leads to" just stop dealing with it and break up" as advice













  • Hey man, I live here. We’re not a republican state. We have more registered Democrats than Republicans, and between the two major metropolitan centers (Charlotte and The Triangle) we actually should be voting largely Democrat. However Republicans bunched all those voters into a few districts and then gave rural bumfuck nowhere disproportionate representation on a state level. Then they used that to gerrymander themselves into a supermajority, then used that to start rat fucking the good reps out of districts (pour one out for Jeff Jackson). We literally had maps so fucked up our current supreme court said “that’s too far” and all they did was submit shittier and shittier maps until we got stuck with the first unconstitutional one because “we didn’t have another option”

    We’re not quite a Mississippi where we’ve been shooting our own feet for decades, Republicans have wrested undue control over the state by being cheaters and it’s important for all of you to see that because they’ll do it to you too
