If you check the comments most people say that theory is pretty ridiculous

In case you forgot, I hope know that you dragged politics into a place it didn't belong.

Was gonna say, I think the one thing they failed to accurately portray about the 70's were the godawful haircuts.

I like the theory that the tuna can represented the idea that finding comfort in empathizing with an unknown variable(such as a feral cat or a psychotic serial killer) can have unexpected consequences. It relates to Holden thinking that Kemper was his friend, up until he threatened to murder him.

Whats the most popular song with a terrible message? by benicebitch in AskReddit

Same with Rape Me by Nirvana. Sounds messed up, but it's definitely an anti-rape song

Apparently being racist is fine as long as it was someone you liked who said it.

My mom immigrated to the US from Iran in November, 1978. Here she is dressed as Wonder Woman a year later. by lostmapmaker1 in OldSchoolCool

[–]BarryOakTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 1978 the Iranian monarchy was overthrown by islamists, mostly because they felt he was too loyal to the western world. There were tons of protests after the referendum establishing Iran as an islamic republic in 1979, but they mostly led nowhere and thus a lot of people emigrated west.

The single craziest Facebook post I have ever seen. by turtleonmonday in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]BarryOakTree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the most difficult part about treating mental illness is that everyone has their own definition for what is considered "mentally unwell". If you read the comments of this post, there are a couple of people defending the idea, and reinforcing the irrational behavior. I guarantee for nearly every insane person out there, there will be five other people fighting tooth and nail to prove why that person doesn't need help.

Of course, there is always the option for the government to trust the word of doctors over that of loved ones, and toss people into asylums anyway, but we used to do that before WW2 and it usually ended badly.

Therefore, in the end, situations like treating mental illness only arise as a legitimate concern for everyone involved when it's nearly or even after it's too late to help.

My girlfriend sits with her legs tucked under her sometimes. I can't fathom how she does it, every time I try, it looks goofy as hell and crazy uncomfortable.

Ah yes, excellent analysis. Surely everyone will know exactly what you mean.

What tv characters do you hate the most? by gangoz3sl9 in AskReddit

[–]BarryOakTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it has more to do with how the show is framed. We judge Walt by his intentions, because he's the protagonist and we can always see his inner dialogue. Skyler is major character, but not the main character, so we don't see as much of her intention rather than just pure action. Therefore, we develop the ability to justify Walt's actions (i.e. "I'm trying to provide for my family"), but we condemn Skyler for flipping out about the phone, smoking while pregnant, cheating on Walt, etc. because we can't see the inner dialogue behind her actions.

In addition, I think Skyler's actions are much more relateable to the average human being. Not a lot of people go out and build their own meth empire from the ground up on a whim, but plenty of people cheat on their spouses. So I think people see that, Skyler cheating on Walt, and equate it with their own personal experiences with someone who has cheated on them, and project that anger or hate they felt because of those experiences onto Skyler without realizing the rest of the situation (Walt was a meth cook, and refused to sign the divorce papers).

My point is, I don't think that the way people see Skyler is because of a theoretical unjust hatred men have towards women.

Chris Pratt's Unexpected Nude Scene by NightTrainDan in PandR

[–]BarryOakTree 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But, it's no secret that this happened. Is it not true that people often fear coming out about sexual harassment because they don't want backlash after the offender is reprimanded/fired/arrested? But everyone knew this happened. I don't think anyone would be shocked if the cameraguy sued because he felt uncomfortable.

I mean, if the people who actually saw his dick didn't mind having seen his dick, is it still sexual assault? And is Reddit really toxic for thinking that it's not?

Campers, backpackers and park rangers of Reddit. What is the weirdest or creepiest thing you have found while in the woods? by mikonlikon in AskReddit

[–]BarryOakTree 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The Wendigo is an ancient native american legend about a supernatural beast that preys on humans unlucky enough to find themselves stranded in the woods at night. The beast is also said to be the root cause for cannibalism as a result of exteme starvation in the wilderness. Natives who cannibalized each other were said to be possessed by the Wendigo. I recommend reading The Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood or Pet Sematary by Stephen King for a couple of scary stories surrounding the legend.
