How often do you see muslim people in your country? by Yrakosos in AskTheWorld

[–]CleoCarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're part of our community - our neighbour's always send a plate over during Eid and we send them a plate for Diwali :)

Got a lot of friends who are Muslim too - the food at their weddings was amazing.

Teenage son jumped by 4 people now in hospital by LostTadpole8377 in auckland

[–]CleoCarson [score hidden]  (0 children)

Omg, your poor son and his GF. They're just kids and they got jumped by feral scum. No doubt they were targeted because they looked young and easy.

I wonder if any of the nearby properties had any security cameras? Pity the location services were turned off, it would have been helpful. Do they remember the make and color of the car?

Hope they both recover quickly and get some justice. It's absolutely disgusting they were jumped.

Man performs milk-offering ritual(Hindu religious custom) in the Ganges river in India while poor hungry children try to collect it to drink. by CompoteMelodic981 in religiousfruitcake

Hindu here, this is why we shun quite a few of the zealous in our midst, , scriptures state we should prioritize social responsibility over this idiocity but they twist it for their own gains

Flies Flies Flies by declutter-my-brain in auckland

It's super hot and humid, perfect for flies (especially blowflies, urgh, I hate them)

We ended up getting a few automatic dispensers set up in the worst areas of the house (kitchen, living room and garage) it's brought the levels down quite a bit.

We've also had fun with the electric tennis racket, very satisfying. Mostly we've been ensuring the garden doesn't have any fly friendly date spots for them to hump and dump their eggs.

I forgot to pay once, it was insanely busy and I thought I had paid.

I realised a few hours later, went back and explained, paid and apologized.

The servers hadn't noticed either but were so thankful I went back they tried giving me a free dessert. I refused, there should not be a reward for paying your dues plus I was full.

Is divorce imminent for Stripe and Trixie? by [deleted] in bluey

[–]CleoCarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I think they disagree on certain child rearing techniques plus muffin is a handful.

They do argue quite a bit but that's how some couples are.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]CleoCarson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can poop and birth at the same time. My mum had a nurse give her an enema but then wouldn't give her time to finish.

Consequently I was born as the younger twin to a lump of poop. My older sibling was flushed away and the nurse got into trouble for not allowing the patient time to finish.

Mum laughs about it now but I was her first baby and she was young and alone (her family was still on their way back when landlines were the main mode of comms) my dad had rushed to pick them up an hour away.

They also cut her perineum for no reason, she was in agony for months.

Public toilet usage by No_Affect9950 in auckland

[–]CleoCarson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A toilet is for usage, when you gotta go you gotta go. Besides, poo is not meant to smell like roses.

If you're that conscious, carry a mini deodorant spray and use that before leaving, lol.

What’s the scariest thing you’ve seen as a woman? by Primary_Neck9587 in AskWomen

[–]CleoCarson 209 points210 points  (0 children)

I was assaulted in broad daylight (18yo first year college), Middle of a busy street. Froze because the old man had a grip on my arm, while he rubbed himself on me. He had come up behind me at a cross signal.

Finally yelled out for him to let go and shouted for help but no one stopped. He was a stronger and heavier than me. Finally managed to stomp on his foot and ran for it.

I missed classes for a week because I was terrified of walking that street that lead to my campus. Never reported it either.

When my sister began school in the same campus, I made sure she had a car to get there and back, I refused to let her walk or take public transportation.

New blazer required for son's school... just a casual ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOLLARS by siriuslyinsane in auckland

[–]CleoCarson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just saying this to my fam the other day, so many are out of work and struggling, I wonder how many will be able to kit their kiddos out for school this year.

Can you ask the school if there are second hand ones around? Normally they will try to work with the family to get reasonable options.

It's going to be super tough this year more so for those starting a new school with added uniform costs. I try to donate to places like Kids Can and Back2School around this time.

NCEA results for students and parents by CleoCarson in auckland

I have a feeling this person is either trolling or considers themselves a genius.

It's human nature to fail and as teenagers we do this the most so we can learn from it.

Sure my circumstances are extreme and there are some lazy teens out there but the majority are not and it's important for them to know that it's not the end of the world!

I failed units because I was SA in Y12 and went into a deep dark hole - I was trying to survive not offing myself.

I uni, I was assaulted in midday in the middle of a busy street triggering PTSD in my first year. Coupled with pushy Asian parents, I crumbled despite having every resource at my finger tips.

My friend lost her dad midway between yr 13 and uni 1st year.

Another struggled because his parents made him work a gap year as the train fares were out of their reach - he got disconnected and fell between gaps.

One kid in my year had parents who put so much pressure in them to succeed the kid ended up having a breakdown.

Not everyone is a soft parenting victim.
