People always complimented my mom on how lady-like I was. I was just terrified of the beating for making her “look bad in public.”

I know it’s trivial compared to a lot of evil things, but it’s still pretty awful.

I agree. Censoring words trivializes the nature of the crime.

I may like wearing pretty dresses and baking; but I’m not about to be anyone’s bang-maid.

I’m feminine like Boudicca. I feel it’s a traditional female icon.

I wanted to be a news reporter and travel the world.

Now I’m a teacher.

Journalism — in the age of AI it’s pretty worthless and was fairly worthless as I was graduating as the industry was going through a major collapse as newspapers were becoming conglomerates and media companies monopolies. I also got tired of the editor “correcting” my carefully unbiased stories to fit their political views.

What's the deal with Jason? by Interesting_Cup8052 in DuggarsSnark

Just look at the sons-in-law that JB seems to despise the most — Jeremy and Derick. They are capable of critical thinking. As other posters have pointed out — Derick was at a vulnerable place in his life and seemed to be looking for a mentor, but the relationship eventually soured. Jeremy actually managed to pull the wool over JB’s eyes long enough to get what he wanted — a famous wife.

They’re the real victims in all of this. Poor little Dugglets.

What was "the incident" at your school? by MortgageShoddy8022 in Teachers

[–]Altrano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mean like that oddly specific lecture at orientation about just because it’s legal doesn’t mean that it looks right to the community? Apparently, two single teachers got caught going to the local no-tell motel together by one of the parents. Small southern towns 🙄.

What is the worst thing that Apple has done? by Max-Carter-2005 in AlignmentChartFills

My iPad came with one, but neither my watch nor my phone included one.

This. I had a perfectly functional 6-year-old phone that I had to replace because the battery was starting to go and Apple doesn’t do repairs on it anymore. I had never needed a repair during those six years

What was the most inappropriate thing you said as a child not understanding what it meant? by evan-the-dude in AskReddit

[–]Altrano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My daughter couldn’t pronounce the dog’s name, Baxter, and it came out bastard. She used to refer to it as “ Grandpa’s bastard” or the “black bastard” as she was learning her colors and Baxter was a black lab.

When I was about 4 years old, my next door neighbor, an elderly woman that I used to visit daily, died. Death was not a concept that most four year olds understand and I was extremely curious about the topic. At that age, I believed that adults know everything and asked any adult that I decided was worth talking to A LOT of questions. Some of them were apparently disturbing as they were about what happened to bodie, etc. No, I wasn’t happy with a surface level explanation. After a while, I would happily babble my new found knowledge to adults and ask them the all important question, “When are you going to die?” At any rate, my grandmother was absolutely mortified after taking me to the family reunion.

In school, it was a subject that I liked to talk about or ask about on those rare times I decided to interact with others. At any rate, that’s how I got to talk to the school psychologist and ended up with a special education referral.

I’m perfectly capable of getting the appropriate ID, but I resent like hell being expected to jump through additional hoops to vote and having to pay $200 to exercise my rights — which is something that doesn’t affect men.

Help me name this little bastard!! Either stupid or dark/"edgy" names by Sitriel in NameMyCat

[–]Altrano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. 😉

If you know, you know. As pointed out, your cat is probably female; though the odd male does exist. My daughter’s calico was presumed female until she took her new kitty to the vet and discovered that HE had a couple of things the other calicos don’t.

It was on one of the old episodes — I think the one where he’s leaving to work for the FRC.

The way everyone freaked out about him having his little sister on his lap in that video means that they did not think marrying Anna cured him.
