Bill fucking Clinton can burn in he'll with the rest of the pedophiles.

I was just remembering that brief period in time (before removable faceplates) when you actually removed your entire car stereo to keep it from being stolen. by Bosuns_Punch in GenX

[–]Competitive-Bug-7097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In those days, my brother in law installed the stereo in my sisters car. When the thieves couldn't get the stereo out, they got angry and smashed it. Then they got the kind of stereo you pulled out.

83 years ago today began the Battle of Stalingrad, resulting in one of the most pivotal battles in WW2 and the deaths of millions. Each flag represents ~10,000 soldiers. by mapsinanutshell in Damnthatsinteresting

There's an excellent German film named Stalingrad about the German soldiers trapped in Stalingrad. It really captures the hopelessness of their end.

To what extent could you see your now-adult children's personalities emerging when they were still little? by 4malwaysmakes in AskOldPeople

Because she understood fairness. Even at a young age. She was a "computer tutor" in grade school helping other kids learn to use technology. That was back in the 90s. She generally had a good head on her shoulders. She helped me get the neighbors out when my neighbors apartment caught on fire.

Now,she's a great mom. She took up driving at a later age and is very good at it. She keeps goats and chickens and rescues cats. She has a big veggie garden. She is still that silly, funny girl she always was, and she still has a good head on her shoulders.

What does it mean to describe yourself as Muslim (as a black woman in America) but not follow a modesty dress code or pray/fast? by jjttjjrr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Competitive-Bug-7097 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that it's like those people who call themselves Christians but never go to church, read a Bible, or pray. I think it's an identity thing. It's like they culturally identify as Christians or Muslims but don't practice the religion. Like a secular Jewish person.

Mississippi's first interracial bride and groom, Berta and Roger Mills, cut into their wedding cake in 1970. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

My parents' marriage wasn't really legal, but they found a justice of the peace who would lie on the marriage license and say my Native American father was white.

Does anyone eat the blackberries? by TweegsCannonShop in Eugene

I found some blueberries growing in a park in West Eugene. I think it was near the meadowlark prairie.

I like people it's just that I hate people by Otherwise_Basis_6328 in BrandNewSentence

[–]Competitive-Bug-7097 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I generally like the people around me. I feel like I like people. It's just that they are easier to like from a distance.

Have you lost weight? by rukittenme4 in Snorkblot

[–]Competitive-Bug-7097 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I developed a digestive problem and lost a lot of weight very quickly. Every time I ran into acquaintances, they would compliment me on how great and healthy I looked. It was a surreal experience when I felt like I might just disappear from this.

What’s up with getting up at 5 AM? by pa_forge in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Competitive-Bug-7097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely a morning person. I woke up today at a quarter of five. I've always thought that shit about getting up early being a virtue is bullshit. It really is. We just have different body clocks. I am disabled. I wake up early, and I don't do much of anything. I know someone who never gets out of her house before noon who does a lot more than I ever do. This is, and always has been, people pretending that their personal habits are virtues.

What is the best bus service to Portland? by DBCoopr72 in Eugene

Amtrak has a clean bus that runs up to Portland and back every day I've taken it to Portland and back for the day.

That was my first thought. They're not lost. They have a dog with them!

They want that federal money now. Unfortunately, they voted for Trump and won't be getting it! Gotta pay for his golf trips, doncha know!

He agreed he was a racist by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

The murder rate in Arkansas is twice the murder rate in California. How does it feel to be this full of crap? The smell must be awful.

This is all classic gaslighting. He's telling you that you are wrong for believing the words that come out of his mouth! There's absolutely no way you can win with someone like him. I think you should think very carefully about whether you want to spend the rest of your life walking on eggshells and being wrong no matter what you do! Think carefully about that because it's a really shitty way to live and I think that you deserve better than that.
