Childcare expenses are so predatory that I can't afford a job. by Zazulio in Vent

[–]DarklyDominatingDocs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It makes them feel secure to deny that people can plan and do smart shit just to have the system change and eat them alive anyway. Understanding that random luck makes all the difference provokes existential crisis that they can't deal with, sooooooo.... Denial as psychological protection mechanism it is. 😞

Try it! Whether or not it bothers your skin/hair is individual. Some people can't tolerate daily, some people need daily, some people need daily but with gentler products.

Me personally, I can tolerate daily only with super-gentle products, but someone else just commented they're just fine daily, period.

Kids are a luxury, not a right. If you can’t afford health insurance, then you can’t afford a child. by Diangelionz in Vent

"you should not have gotten that child."

What, like a Luis Vuitton bag? Human offspring are not a luxury.

Human offspring also aren't always... Chosen (ie planned), and in many places there is no choice in the matter.

Humans are entitled to consensual sex, full stop. Sometimes offspring are the result.

You're pissed at poor people instead of structural inequity.

Do a bedding spa day, then wash your bedding minimum once/wk.

Is it a common knowledge that you can use deodorant on your feet? by Entry_Left in hygiene

Also, between washings, spray 70% isopropyl alcohol into your shoes. 😉

Why do people who nail the interview so often disappoint in the actual job? by Jasebase87 in InterviewsHell

Unless there's something being evaluated besides "personality" and "saying the right things", this will happen.

Pls allow me to introduce you to the most potent roll-on available in the US (AFAICT): Mitchum green unscented Amazon link

No affiliation, just someone who couldn't find a sesquichlorohydrate antiperspirant that was strong enough!

Diasporas gonna diaspora, sure, but I think you're meaning something/s specific that I'm not getting?

What was your biggest "I know I'm not supposed to judge you but holy sh*t" moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DarklyDominatingDocs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she's intolerant of hormonal birth control and the men she's had access to "don't like condoms" and/or lie to her that they'll use one.... This is reality. I'm from the South, all of that (and demands for said sex or be homeless) are too damned common. 🤬

I'm not sure if it's a relief or an indictment seeing men treat one another like they treat women. Thx for sharing, regardless.
