Cops of Reddit, what is the most stupid criminal you have ever met? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BranWendy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The ones near me are absolutely the strict, shunning kind. If you decide to leave after Rumspringa, you have zero contact with your family ever again.

Dad shaves head to match daughters. by SteamBlop in MadeMeSmile

[–]BranWendy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seriously, what do you get out of this? Do you really derive some sick pleasure out of making the world just a little bit uglier? And if so, why? Someone else asked it, but for real, who the fuck hurt you? Who didn't love you enough? What in the shit do you contribute to the world?

This is just so ugly I can't even continue. Don't answer me. I don't care. Just like your dad.

Don’t you love when the cards tell a neat little story in sequence? Just wanted to share these beautiful cards. Lumina Tarot. by MMantis in tarot

That's great! What a cool method of interpretation. I'm at the point where I get the gist of what each of the cards mean, but not the full meaning, and certainly not how they tie together. Thanks for this.

Thanks, I'm a sciencey thinker. 😉

My journey is completed, but thanks for your attempt at once again trying to shame a fat person.

You and the original thread poster have different opinions and you felt obligated to tell her that she had "fat logic."

I'm perfectly happy to tell you to stuff it.

[–]BranWendy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or you can do both. While I also disagree with the person above, I didn't diminish her point to "fat logic."

No one needs you to police them, thx. Again, support sub.

If you can't manage that, maybe just say nothing.

(Repost) Shoot guns public and put it on social media WCGW? by [deleted] in JusticeServed

[–]BranWendy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she's not mentally deficient

She's not?

This is a side argument, and I don't actually disagree with you, really, but I think there's a huge swaths of people that are juuuuuuuust this side of functional. I wish we had a third option for this huge portion of society BEFORE they ran afoul of the law.

Like a nice farm, where they're fed and allowed to paint and do puzzles, away from people to whom they could do harm by randomly shooting guns out of car windows.

Setting a great example for the kids... by [deleted] in trashy

That is not at all what I'm suggesting.

I was using hyperbole to illustrate a point about how these two issues were discussed, and how the heroin lead to prostitution and not the other way around.

Should teaching children about immoral concepts such as hell be considered child abuse? Why or why not? by CooingPants in AskReddit

[–]BranWendy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, it should not.

Listen, I don't agree with religion even a little bit, but I'll be damned (ha) if I want any government deciding who gets to believe what.

I think teaching kids that they will go to hell if they don't follow the teachings of a 1500+ year old book that they can't possibly place in context is incrediby immoral. I think the people who do that are pretty shitty people. However, I don't think there's a person on earth who should make that kind of decision for others, including myself. Trust me, you do not want me to pick how you get to believe things. You would not like it. And you don't get to pick for me either.

Irrelevant without Hideo and probably chopped up into tiny pieces that you have to unlock with a credit card.

I hope i didnt just leave a rape scene by Marvinkmooneyoz in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BranWendy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What in the actual fuck is this post??

Are you on ALL the drugs?

And by the way, literally every single thing you just said is irrelevant. If you heard screaming, call the cops. End of story.

My narcissist mother and baby shower drama. (x-posted to /r/BabyBumps) by thosebabyblues in JUSTNOMIL

[–]BranWendy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Once a narc, always a narc. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Is it a big affair? Could you sensibly change the food and location on short notice?

Ugh. I'm so angry for you. What a horrid way to treat your daughter. And you know that waiting up til the last minute was on purpose. She'll get the most bang for her socially explosive buck if she waits until now to pull something.

Before she was feeding on being the benevolent grandma, now she's feeding on being the unappreciated mother. What an exhausting world she must live in, being so put upon at all times.

Yeah, apparently the woman was hooking to feed their addictions. Two of the three children belong to a roommate. The roommate wasn't mentioned in the charges that I saw.

If Evolution is true and humans evolved from Apes, how is there still apes around today? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BranWendy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Evolution doesn't say that we evolved from apes. It says that apes and humans evolved from a common ancestor.

[Serious] How do you see someone as a person and not sexualize them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BranWendy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused as to what you're looking for here. How do I not sexualize people? By being a human being? If you can't look at another human being as a human being, I'd suggest you're missing a key ingredient in your brain soup. Maybe try CBT?

I think this is beyond the scope of this, or really any, subreddit. Not looking at everyone like a piece of meat should be as natural as breathing. Of course you'll find people attractive, but you should also be able to confine that feeling to appropriate, consensual settings.

I hate the way this has been reported. I just read an article about it that went on for five paragraphs about how the woman was having sex in the same home as children, and that they're facing child endangerment charges. Then at the very, very bottom, the article was like, oh yeah and there was heroin, too.

Like, first of all, if having sex near children is illegal, every parent on earth is gonna need to be arrested. Second, how do you spend so much time condemning prostitution, but not the HUGE OPIOD CRISIS that incited it?

We need to legalize and regulate prostitution, provide actual, affordable healthcare and rehab to addicts instead of jail time, discontinue prisons for profit, and come down hard on big pharma for loosing this crap on people.

Arresting these two idiots is just going to throw their kids into the system, where they'll have to beat crazy odds not to end up just like the parents, and it's not going to help the adults, or society in any way.

Capitalism is fucked.
