What's something way more people would enjoy if there wasn't such a negative stigma surrounding it?

Top voted Reddit comments...
Therapy. It feels good to talk to someone who you don't have any personal ties to.
Running just because you want to get somewhere faster.
Work less.
Our society has an unhealthy obsession with giving a 110% and would probably benefit from encouraging a better work-life balance.
Dungeons & Dragons
Going places alone. Dancing, concerts, movies, plays and the like. I know people do this, but I know many more who will not consider these activities unless there is at least one other friend there.

Murder. I mean some people just gotta go. There are way too many of them almost everywhere, and lots of them just can't be fixed. Road rage alone would probably cull the herd by 30%. You cut me off. I kill you. Somebody kills me for doing that, and off we go like a furious fractal of justice and revenge. Woohoo!

I didn't expect that one. LOL

I think murder lurks in a lot of hearts, even if it's the satisfaction of seeing somebody get it who we don't like and we had nothing to do with it.

Getting and being fat. Huge, live-in-a-bed-covered-with-grease,chocolate-and-crumbs fat. Gaining weight makes me feel physically uncomfortable, but I could live with it if everyone else would still love me, and I mean LOVE me - not just that "of course we love you for who you are" bullshit, but rather that "I love a big man, and damn you are one sexy hot big man" kind of love.

Please, no fat chicks.

If the law was that you could legally kill anyone who could be proven to have illegally killed someone else, then I think we would have a lot less murders and murderers.

This is also known as having a real death penalty, but with freelance executioners. A kind of Uber version of the death penalty. I miss those "Wanted: "Dead or Alive" posters.

Therapy is awful. Yes, while you're in it and blabbing your guts to the shrink there's an immediate sense of relief. But later...later the loss of self-respect precisely for having blabbed your guts is huge, or hugh, or acute, take your pick.

BTW, I love Uber. Just started using it. We went to party and hang out all day in Venice Beach last Sunday. Tapped the Uber app on my phone. Told Android a single word "Venice" two more screen taps and the map pops up showing the route, the current location of the driver, his name and photo. He arrives in under 4 minutes. Fare: about 10 bucks. They say you are not supposed to tip, but how can you not at those prices. Used it to go to dinner the other night in Playa Del Rey. The driver arrived before I could get my shoes on. Fare: $3.59.

I've used it a half dozen times, and the service was perfect every time. Very nice clean cars, with polite clean drivers who speak English. No vallet ass in my car, no finding a parking spot. Greatest invention since email. The tip is usually more than the fair. I would sell my truck is I wasn't an indentured servant driving dogs around. Dog friendly Uber? Lets do it!

One of the best parts is the fair price pops up on your phone immediately, before the driver even comes. I hate in cabs how you never know what it will cost until you're there.

There's always duelling and showdowns in the street.

How many politicians, media types, trolls, community organizers, appellate court judges, and other assorted lowlifes would mind what they said and did if people could walk up to them and say, "I'll be here in the street when you get out of work. Don't make me come looking for you"? Wouldn't you just live to see somebody go all Preston Brooks over Selfie's or Eric Holder's Charles Sumner?

And then there are the women. Imagine one of the Planned Parenthood Mengeles dragged out into the street for a hair-pulling match the way women did back in the good old days, complete with scratching, biting, slapping, clothes-ripping, even chasing them down the street pelting their (sometimes naked) bodies with rocks and other missiles close at hand.

There's a negative stigma to getting hard? By whom?

Men like having them, women like men having them.

What's not to like?

"There's a negative stigma to getting hard? By whom?"

Even at a recent leftist naked bike ride out here, one guy appreciated the scenery a little too much and was ejected for bringing an unapproved boner. The left have very confusing messages, but control is always central. I would just said it wasn't mine. Everyone knows that's what you say when caught with contraband.

"I would have just said it wasn't mine."

Well, it wasn't! She gave it to you. You may have the boner but she owns it. Ah, sex. What power!

Well, I guess I should have specified real people. The Lefties were never into having fun.
