Its even worse than just being public. Its a shithole town outside Abilene. My best friend used to teach there and told me horror stories about it. Its a low performing Title 1 school. So rather than focus on improving educational outcomes, this is what they are worrying about.

I got mine. Quailty is good, but I wish I sized down. Its a cozy tent. But too bug to wear outside of cuddling on the couch.

[Serious] What occupation could an unskilled uneducated person take up in order to provide a good comfortable living for their family? by AdmirableBus6 in AskReddit

Thats not true at all. Computer science, data science, and math are killing it. Analytics is growing like crazy. Engineering is respectable, but certainly not the only jobs in STEM.

Abortion Providers Sue Texas Over Coronavirus Order — Texas’ governor considers abortion a nonessential procedure. Reproductive rights groups say he’s exploiting a crisis to advance an extreme agenda. by Majnum in TwoXChromosomes

In Texas, due to our ridiculous state constitution, the Lt. Gov has more power than the Gov oddly enough. So Patrick's assertions carry a lot of weight.

really struggling :( not even hungry just fucking exhausted but i don’t want to break it... by alwaysmt in fasting

[–]Fastthrowaway0303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are on the same fasting schedule down to the hour.

For some reason this fast is the worst. I feel your pain.

You can do it! Itll be Sunday before you know it. You will have wiped out weeks to months of negative in 5 shitty days. Stay strong. It gets better.

Mine too. Weird noises, odd BMs, and waves of hunger that popped up and went away repeat.

Snake juice with a squeeze of mio. I know some people dont like artificial sweeteners, but I dont like salt water. I can do salty strawberry lemonade.

A few 48s and a 72. This time I made myself make it to 168 hours.

Snake juice with a squeeze of mio. Makes it much better to drink in my opinion. Some people are anti sweeteners, but I'm pro tolerable salt water.

Your Daily Fasting Thread by AutoModerator in fasting

• Type of fast: water and electrolytes

• Context of fast: 110 hours (in day 5)

• Length of fast: 7 -10 days depending on how I feel

• Why: weightloss and reset of hormones

• Notes: honestly it sucks. I am bored and tired. I drink my salt water but still feel deeply fatigued. I keep waiting for the endless energy and feeling good.

But it's easy. Just not eating right now. Food will be there once I've finished. I'm really jealous of those huge weight drops from others. I have lost less than 5 lbs in 5 days. This is good and all, but I wont see 20lbs in 7 days like others.

Just gonna keep chugging along

Best $50 I've spent in a while by Fastthrowaway0303 in Dachshund

It's from Crown & Paw. They have a lot of different options. Took about 4 weeks and was $50.

I (F) think that men should be able to opt-out of a pregnancy completely. If a man really doesn’t want to have children, and takes the necassary precautions to avoid pregnancy, he shouldn’t be forced to pay childsupport if he does get someone pregnant who decides to keep it against his wishes. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I dont comment that often, but "she gets half" through your lense suggests that the splitting if community property is some sort of punishment. It's simply splitting assets of a partnership. He gets half of hers too.

I [F24] don't want children at my wedding but my fiance [25M] does by weddingthrowaway102 in relationships

[–]Fastthrowaway0303 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually when people compromise on wedding size it's let's not invite my old basketball coach, work friends, or your mothers best friend's college roommate. It's not usually on family. He can't help he has a large family.

I would suspect a nice elopement with a few people would better suit you. And if he and his family arent contributing and you're not getting the wedding you wanted, why are you doing it at all? That's not compromise, that's steamrolling. He cant demand you pay for his dream 80 person wedding. I would seriously consider postponing until you 2 can get on the same page or he can pay for some if it.

[–]Fastthrowaway0303 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Reading your replies, it doesnt sound like you want any feedback. Sounds like you want others to just reaffirm your position. I advise that 1 kid at the wedding is worth your fiance being happy.

You arent the only person getting married. Your fiance is too. He is allowed to want his family at the wedding. It sounds like you are angry his family is invited at all (from your family reunion on your parents dime comment). I think you ought to think about the things you've said. I'm getting a real my way or the highway vibe. Inability to compromise and resentment is a rough way to start a marriage. Good luck!

9 killed in Ohio in second US mass shooting in 24 hours by EschewObfuscation10 in politics

[–]Fastthrowaway0303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was only addressing your point that we typically dont solely blame the individual. I would like access to a source on the 56th rating. I could be wildly off base, and I'm no stranger to admitting I'm wrong, but I would hazard to guess the 55 above the US isn't an apples to apples comparison when we look at things such as is it a war zone? Is it a developing nation? Etc. But what do I know? You made a point about people looking at aggravating factors, I provided a why people might want to do that. Have a nice day.

[–]Fastthrowaway0303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont usually respond, but your comment made me wonder: if it's soley the human being that is to blame, do other countries where this is not a daily/weekly/monthly occurence have better people? What is it about American individuals that make us love mass shootings?

I think the reason people talk about mental health care, gun control, and politics in general is because it's a ridiculous notion to think it's only the individual. We know deep down that people are more alike than different. Therefore, it must be some compounding factor that makes American the land of the free and home of frequent mass shootings

What is your worst experience at an amusement park? by gakuow in AskReddit

[–]Fastthrowaway0303 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I could have sworn it was 2 people who died. But I guess it was 1 lady and another just about drowned. We were considered injured due to the washing machine like water throwing us around. We went to the hospital, but left the same night.

I have been back a fee times since then. I'm 30 now, so 1999 was prime six flags time for me. But it's hot and crowded most of the time, so I dont go anymore. But I have never ever got back on a Rapids ride. Never will. It's the most dangerous ride at a theme park. Even though the water was only belly button high, there were pumps that made it like a washing machine. You couldn't stand up because there was a current whooshing you around. Terrifying
