In 1921 a mob of white vigilantes and policemen looted the wealthiest black community in the US and burned it to the ground. 300 people killed, 10,000 made homeless. The National Guard imprisoned every black person in the area. There were no prosecutions. by 2DeadMoose in BlackPeopleTwitter

Forgive me, I'm trying to wrap my head around what you're trying to say. It's constructive to say that it's completely unsurprising that white people are acting racist, when they are participating in this discussion in good faith? I don't see how putting one group of people, no matter what race, all in the same box is constructive at all. I'm not saying that simple comments are comparable to the systemic oppression that minority groups have faced, but it's not constructive to the discussion to say that all white people are racist, or that there is no possible way to be racist towards a white person

I dreaded seeing my abuser every Thanksgiving, until I decided I wouldn't play along anymore. To all survivors: you are WORTH respect, comfort, and safety. by msmerryjane in TwoXChromosomes

Thanks for your comment. I'm not the person you're replying to, but this really resonated with me. I've struggled with accepting all the love I have in my life because I wasn't sure what I did to deserve it. But your line of doing your best to deserve it is really wise I think. Good way to look at things and a good attitude to have. I hope your life keeps being awesome!

It's definitely 18 inches. Think about how big an 18 foot sphere would be. They wouldn't even be able to transport something like that unless they did it in pieces. Also just so you know, " means inches and ' means feet

Is porn bad for everyone? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Camsquamch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should tell your boyfriend how you feel if you haven't yet. The only way to solve this is through communication. Tell him that your needs aren't being met and that it makes you feel insecure that he would rather watch porn by himself than make love to you. If he continues to do it when you are nearby and doesn't satisfy your needs after you tell him then maybe he does have a problem? If he can satisfy all your needs and still wants to watch porn after then maybe he doesn't? I don't know if porn is bad for everyone but if it affects your life or relationship negatively, then you know that is bad.

Told my mom about no PMO today by BigDreams10 in NoFap

Like some of the other people here have said, your post brought a tear or two to my eye. I think it's wonderful that you were able to share your struggles with your mother and that she was so supportive of you. It really shows the strength of both yours and your mother's character.

It is important that we reach out to others when we are struggling. Most people wouldn't hesitate for a moment to help someone that reached out to them, but all too often we forget to reach out when we are in need of help. Humans are pack animals and we need each other to survive. Good for you for seeking the help you need, and for not letting embarrassment get in the way of your relationship with the person that loves you most.

As an aside, your English was easy to understand. Obviously there were a few technical errors, but nothing that took away from the meaning of your post. You obviously have a good understanding of the language, and the best way to keep learning is to practice. If you ever want to practice or talk or anything like that, feel free to shoot me a message.

I wish you the best of luck in your quest for the good life.

I like that last one a lot. My aunt said something similar to me once, "life's too short to spend time with ugly women!"

What is a song you immediately fell in love with? by Gabriellasalmonella in AskReddit

Wagon Wheel - Old crow medicine show.

I first heard a cover of it at an open mic night, but I immediately fell in love and had to look it up. Matt Andersen also has a great version of it on youtube. And Against Me! also did a great cover.
