I feel that “another thing coming” has mobster vibes, and a comeuppance is a deserved punishment.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve always figured, since the implied threat of violence/retribution seems like a very American attitude.

That one always gets me. The phrase means that the person is wrong about something, and circumstances will compel them to reconsider their position or opinion. The word “think” refers to a cognitive process, such as reconsidering their position or opinion. As for the alternative, what’s the “thing” that’s coming? Their latest Amazon order is out for delivery?

So young men are believing that everyone except them are all in relationships and/or fucking all the time, and believing that them not doing those things makes worth less as a human being.

I just want to add that, in virtually every online discussion I’ve seen about the dynamic between men and women, if a man says something incel-ish, or otherwise not popular, there will be somebody (almost always a woman) who will fire back a retort like, “yeah, but no woman wants to be with you anyway,” (I haven’t seen it on Lemmy, which is wonderful.)

There it is: Your opinion, and by extension your worth as a person, is based on your ability to have sex. Is it any wonder that men think that, after being explicitly informed so?

Without a single coherent thought expressed!

Do you have some suggestions for a novice sharpener on how to get started?

I was looking at Insta posts from August. Difference of opinion, I guess.

I did, and I would still say that. You wouldn’t happen to have her confused with Rep. Cindy Crawford, the Arkansas politician?
