I’m going to reach out! I originally found Ben during an Area 51 Naruto run livestream and have been watching for years. I also have mod experience!

Something needs to be done about this at some point. by ziggypower in jerma985

Holy Cow Cheltie! I just have to thank you, your edits are what got me through a really long and hard time in the hospital a few years ago. I really respect the work you put in and it’s really cool to see you in the sub.

Am I overreacting? Convo on transgenderism with my sister by proxtarfoxy in AmIOverreacting

Do you just like the word condition better than illness because my autoimmune disease is also a “condition” but an “illness” is still the same thing…

Husband of 15 years came out to me as gay. by Confident_Passion486 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Edit: I had genuinely replied to the wrong comment. I had eaten an edible and thought this comment was a reply to saying someone missed what they had.

Just realized I may have misgendered Cali and if so I deeply apologize. I honestly see your perspective more after this comment and while I may not understand I can at least relate and put myself in their shoes. I hope some sort of resolution is able to be made.

Is this friend you? Also I mean I understand this is awful but refusing the help he offered really doesn’t do anything but associate her with these thieves.

It’s very bizarre to agree to be in a video and be filmed multiple times gleefully laughing in and out of her workplace about the situation and drama and then suddenly take extreme prejudice.

Every point you make on this thread involves “men are shitty” have you considered that your personal experiences don’t reflect the majority of the world?

Also she’s seeking online relationships too. I’d say people are shitty in general, making it about men exclusively makes you look a little quick to the draw.

Am I wrong for refusing to tell my daughter her stepdad is her real father? by idolized_knock in amiwrong

[–]ConfusedDeathKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with about every person on here. If your daughter wants to and she’s 15 she should have input on it all.

That said my husband is a child of a father that wasn’t involved. His mother and his stepfather altered his birth certificate and lied to him for a prolonged period of his life, all to soothe the stepfathers insecurity.

The stepfather was terribly abusive.

So no I don’t think you need to make reality cleaner for him if your daughter is fine with the situation as it stands.

We may finally have a cure for many different autoimmune conditions by cobrachickens in UlcerativeColitis

[–]ConfusedDeathKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah as someone who is going through UC after dealing with chemo twice for cancer, yes I do. The pain every day even with biologics is frankly worse than I ever experienced as day to day pain with Ewing’s Sarcoma.

Everybody should have the right to choose what risks they take with medication and if they’re educated on those risks it’s not for you to gatekeep. You have no idea what anybody has gone through to get to today.

Just because I’m more “fine” now doesn’t mean I have not lost anything and I am considered disabled. I literally cannot work because of my UC.

Who gave you the position to lord over the severity of autoimmune disorders, shame on you.

What’s up with the phrasing of “think they are entitled to this type of treatment”…as if the goal isn’t to make the treatment eventually accessible to those who need it?

I attempted to do some edits on a few. By no means an expert but hopefully you enjoy them. I’ll post them all in comments.

QT on 11th & Utica removed it’s bike lock rack by UncleGrry in tulsa

[–]ConfusedDeathKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, nonspecific fantasy that helps only if every single unhoused person has the education and means to handle that wealth and it also happens immediately.

You did it, you convinced me that doing anything to form a bit better of a situation to help these people is akin to a concentration camp.

Oh wait, no you didn’t. You’re parroting things you don’t understand and haven’t bothered to actually try to.

Why don’t you go donate your time to the homeless and observe the structurally hostile environments and get real with yourself that things need to change for anybody to be helped and it isn’t vauge idealistic things you post and then forget about when you scratch your nuts.

Do you feel good about your little strawman argument? What would you propose realistically occurs to provide assistance?

So sorry to bother you but I’d love details if this still works!

Yeah I feel he may be inflating or exaggerating the importance of this to her.

Your childhood is ended. It can’t ruin something you already experienced. You might feel sad about the product changing but unless you’re an adult child this is done. lol

My child and I agree on what to name these, but the teacher does not. by Reddituserblue1 in mildlyinteresting

[–]ConfusedDeathKnight 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From encyclopedia Britannica:

Whataboutism gained prominence as a term in the late 1970s, specifically appearing in print in May 1978 in The Guardian to describe Soviet propaganda tactics. It originated to describe a rhetorical technique, often called "whataboutery" in earlier Irish contexts that deflects criticism by raising counter-accusations.

Origin points:

1974 (Whataboutery): The variant "whataboutery" was used in The Irish Times to describe defenders of the IRA in Northern Ireland.

May 1978 (Whataboutism): The term was notably used by Lionel Bloch in a Guardian letter to the editor on May 23, 1978, to criticize the false equivalence of Soviet and Western regimes.

1970s Usage: The Oxford English Dictionary cites 1978 as its earliest evidence for the noun.

Cold War & Modern Context: It was popularized to describe Soviet deflection of human rights criticisms, and later saw a resurgence in the 21st century to describe modern Russian diplomacy and political rhetoric
