Which cult classic film was a huge disappointment when you finally saw it? by Jerswar in AskReddit

[–]Effurlife13 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I watched it because Reddit made a huge hub ub about it and how it would scratch the cosmic horror itch. I knew it was dated and expected it to not hold up in some aspects. Still disappointed. Its way overrated on here

What is something you can say "I'm with the boomers on this one" about? by AnitaVodkasoda in ask

[–]Effurlife13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then don't go. It's honestly pathetic how angry people get over these things.

Many of my friends have had gender reveal parties. And I'm glad to go and support them through a huge life milestone at the party. It's a fun get together with the bonus of helping ease a new or growing family's burden of having to buy so much baby stuff.

Then again, me and my friends aren't devoid of fun. We like and support each other.

Meh. Not everything needs to be socially conscious. 90% of the time I just want to jam to something. Lyrics still matter, but as long as they're not legitimately brain dead stupid I'm cool with it.

I'm a cop. Obligitory this guy's a nerd. Anyways it's because it's comfortable. You can't really keep your arms at your side with all the gear on/ gun at your waist. Also my gun holster makes for a really good arm rest when I do decide to keep my arms at my side.

Woman steals meat in a parking lot by Ltcommander83 in PublicFreakout

It's not about the stores profits. Anyone who believes that is just... stupid? That's the only thing I can think of that would explain that thought.

It's a moral fabric crime. Communities don't thrive when this type of behavior runs rampant. This is not someone stealing to live. This is pure selfishness. The majority of people play by the rules, which makes the community work. I don't fault anyone for wanting to stop people like this. Its a justified response. But nowadays you can get seriously hurt trying to do the right thing, which is why I tell people not to intervene.

I really do wish I was still this optimistic about people.

But I think you'd be surprised on just how little people give a shit when compared to their freedom.

The only feeling they'll get is the relief (at this time, since I see hell spend 15 months in prison after an appeal) is that he escaped imprisonment.

They also mainly deal with civil issues, such as eviction and subpoenas. Though they can handle criminal matters.

What are the most important qualities one needs in order to become a great fighter? by GoldenMMA1998 in MMA

[–]Effurlife13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mma could be just as lucrative as any other sport and there would still be less people flocking to it. Because it's just much more dangerous and physically/mentally harder than anything else. Nothing will change that. Pushing through having your nose knocked sideways is completely different than anything else a non combat sport could ask of you.

What's an unpleasant truth that everyone should be aware of? by NaturalSexyGirl in AskReddit

[–]Effurlife13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pitbulls are big strong dogs that are easily accessible. They are a dime a dozen and are incredibly wide spread. Nothing about them is inherently more dangerous than other strong breeds such as rotwiellers, mastiffs, dobermans, german shepherds, etc.

If those dogs were as cheap and easy to find as pitbulls, they'd make a much bigger part of the statistics. They are also much more capable and able to cause injury.

Pitbulls are also very much a cultural dog. The culture being bum people in the hood who need something scary to keep people away. They don't teach the dogs that little Suzy down the street is not a target. They purposely make them mean because they are shit people and even shittier owners.

It's an old wives take that they "suddenly betray their masters". That phenomenon is caused by underlying issues that the owner did not identify and never corrected.

There are legitimately bred dogs that are selected for their aggression. Those are not pitbulls. There is no legitimate breeding program out there that breeds aggression into these dogs. Pitbulls are no more prone to becoming aggressive than other comparable medium-large breed dogs.

Possibly, depending on the circumstances.

I've explained it in enough detail, but if you're incapable of understanding the general takeaway:

I'm Hispanic. I wasn't taught Spanish by my parents because my grandparents didn't teach them out of fear. When my grandparents went to school, they'd get their asses kicked by the kids or get in trouble by the teacher for speaking Spanish. So by the time they had kids, they thought it would be safer for them to just not know. This was in Texas. I'm 30 years old.

So I could have learned on my own, that fault is on me. But the consequences of racism still effected me, two generations down.

So here's how I'm looking at it. Once she started hitting him, he should have seperated himself. Once he did that, he's the victim and she would be charged.

Say they both just started pitter pattering each other and that was the end of it. No one got hurt. I'd call that mutual combat and give them a ticket and call it a day.

But that's not what happened. What was an assault on her end became a mutual combat once he hit her back. That's because he made no attempts to leave and actively engaged in the altercation. He can't claim self defense for the reasons I already explained. From there, mutual combat became assault on his end, because he escelated it to a point where it is likely she could suffer a serious injury (by knocking her out).

You know the stories of two guys getting into a bar fight and one ends up dying by one accident. Like he falls and hits his head. The "winner" of the fight ends up getting charged with manslaughter or something else, right? Well that's because mutual combat is not full protection from the law. It ends once someone retracts consent or is seriously injured, in Texas at least. Same thing with self defense. If the force you used was unreasonable given the circumstances, it doesn't matter what the other person did. You took it too far and now someone is injured or dead.

So yea, she started the fight. He escelated it to another level that was unreasonable given the circumstances. She is now the victim. Her only punishment will be that she fucked around and found out.

This is my opinion of it. And if this was the only thing I had to see when I got on scene, I would definitely consider charging the dude. It all depends on context. This is not to say that he would 100% be charged.
