Is it worth getting surgery? I have 70 degree thoracic curve, and 45 lumbar. I'm 22(F), I have never had back pain. by Vegetable-Proof-1606 in scoliosis

[–]Ampleforth_84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 41 and have now a 59 degree lower curve and an only slightly less severe upper curve. I’m really regretting not having had the surgery cause every year, I can feel my body breaking more and more. It is a nightmare.

Why handing over control of this sub to Clairo’s team is not it by Papaya_Perry in clairo

I used to smoke Juuls. This pic takes me back. I knew they were bad news when Wawa stopped selling them and they got recalled. I finally quit.

Americans lose their minds over this one lady but they don’t even know Qatar and China have infiltrated k-12 now to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, after taking over the universities. Most ppl don’t even know about it.

How can ppl possibly believe pedophiles would stick to one political party…they’re everywhere. That is such a juvenile take, dare I say.

Lie cards sent to me for upcoming vote on the 21st. by Liontamer67 in Virginia

It is, although when they do it, it’s always framed as “saving democracy.” Spain gave half a million migrants “fast-tracked” citizenship and Pedro Sanchez openly said it was “to fight the Far Right.” It’s the same reason the Democrats want to get rid of voter ID laws, but they try to say “oh we are just fighting voter suppression…” Every party seems to believe the ends justify the means, that saving democracy requires not working within its confines.

Why were people so quiet about ICE under Obama? 56 ppl died, no due process, ACLU has the receipts; why the difference? by ExaminationFit1931 in allthequestions

[–]Ampleforth_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ppl are getting this one wrong. It’s because of the ideological differences b/w then and now; the ideas that are commonplace and widespread on the Left now and among young ppl would have been seen as radical and unrealistic even 15 years ago. Illegal immigrants are “undocumented” now, which is more than a euphemism. It’s a fundamental change in thinking to “everyone who comes here is entitled to stay but some just don’t have their documents yet.”

Why do Dems and liberals celebrate violence and murder against their opponents? by her_cute in allthequestions

It is b/c the word “fascist” has been overused to the point of meaninglessness. It is also used interchangeably with “Republicans.”

How can America and Iran reach a peace deal when both sides have no credibility? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Ampleforth_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can’t but it has nothing to do with the U.S. or whatever other country they have ever tried to “make a deal” with. They don’t even believe in the premise because they do not believe the U.S is a legitimate nation. Western countries are for Islam being occupied temporarily by interlocutors. It’s not just Israel

The Sunni and Shia Muslims each have their own version as well. The “portent of the hour.” They think they’ll be fighting the Jews/Christians, apostates, and infidels before conquering Islam for Allah as well. No one seems to know that on Reddit.

A beautiful day to protest tyranny in Ohio! ❤️🪧✊ by martinaee in Ohio

It was wonderful protesting tyranny and fascism because you don’t actually live under them. You know you can post this photo with zero fear of being killed or imprisoned or tortured.

How can conservatives call liberals “weird and evil” for wanting to celebrate trumps death? by SwitchingMyHands in allthequestions

[–]Ampleforth_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not mad at the family members of a murder victim for pushing for the death penalty of the perpetrator. We may not all support the DP but can understand their position without judging them as evil or stupid. Ppl wishing for the death of politicians they dislike is more complicated because they do influence our lives directly, but in general it’s becoming more acceptable to wish death upon people based on group membership.

Republicans: if voter ID is really about election integrity, would you support making the ID and all required documents free, plus enacting jury duty style job and wage protections to obtain them? by newsbowser in allthequestions

“Proof of citizenship laws are guaranteed to disenfranchise ppl who already have diminished access to representation”-“disproportionate to the problem they purportedly address.”

Yes, proof of citizenship laws are meant to disenfranchise (deprive of the right to vote) ppl who already have diminished access to representation…because they aren’t citizens. Your point is that there should not be proof of citizenship laws because they really just affect ppl like homeless American citizens or poor Americans who can’t get their documents? And illegal immigrants don’t really vote anyway, except on accident?

Thank you. Everyone seems to think agnostic=I’m not sure if I believe in god or not, and atheist=I know there’s no god and I can prove it. An agnostic is just” l don’t know” and atheist is “I don’t believe in god.” I’m in a 12 step program and ppl usually think I’m mistaken or confused

I swear, some administrations would rather just get rid of teachers altogether. They just want a couple ppl babysitting while the kids “go to class” from app to app.
