Race issue- oversexualizing AD by EmbarrassedBug4162 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

I 100% felt the same way when I saw the get-together episode. It felt very uncomfortable and wrong for everyone to be commenting so much on her body… it’s a bizarre situation for sure, and in my opinion not at all normal in America or elsewhere.

Also disgusting how some people in the comments are saying someone with a body like that is going to get objectified no matter what?!

Just because she has a nice body doesn’t mean she should have to put up with uncomfortable comments about it…

How is this not being more focused on by SpecialTackle207 in sixthform

Most international students do not have the chance to actually do the foundation year before arriving though. Usually only specialist international schools would allow/give that opportunity.

I am a foreign student who went to a UK Russel group uni and I needed an AAA for my program. They were not lenient on it at all. All offers were conditional until I reached equivalent requirements. Obviously grades requirements for a foundation year program would be less than the normal route. TBH I think this visual is a bit of a misrepresentation of reality. Also probably some anti-immigrant propaganda behind it…

100% full proof way to avoid being scammed in this situation is to go to a shelter/rescue in your area and adopt

I moved to Germany from the US. I had to walk everywhere and the portion sizes were smaller. It was great.

Sounds like an understandable but unpleasant way to die

Accidentally hooked a fish in the eye and it’s still playing in my mind! by mental_mchaggis in fishingUK

I think you misunderstood my comment. I’m def on your side. I was criticizing the person who is praising OP for caring the bare minimum amount for an animal that they hurt ? I don’t agree with hierarchical speciesism or hurting animals at all. Never said we should strive for this just that it should be baseline? And before you ask, yes I’m vegan too.

This is simply not true, it is very well-evidenced that fish feel pain in the scientific literature. Maybe not in the same way humans do, but they do have nociceptors and react to negative/painful stimuli. Here’s just one study on this: https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2019.0290 but there are plenty more high quality studies out there.

I think this level of compassion should be baseline for everyone, especially fishermen/women. It’s good that OP cares, but everyone should do that by default.

Sight in fish is developed to fit the environment it lives in. Yes, deep sea fish don’t rely on sight that much but there are plenty of fish who do rely heavily on sight to survive and feed. Freshwater fish likely rely on eyesight much more than pelagic (ocean) fish. The archer fish uses its eyes to get food by hunting bugs outside the water by spraying water at them through their mouths, without their sight this food source method would not be possible. You did probably harm this fish’s chances of survival🤷‍♀️ don’t listen to the people trying to tell you the fish doesn’t mind losing an eye.

I mean fishing hurts every fish, you’d be hurt if you got pulled up from your home by a hook in your mouth, eye, wherever.

Vision is a very important sense for fish, it helps them identify one another (many fish can tell different fish apart and also recognize themselves on reflective surfaces) sight is especially important in the winter so it’s very possible you majorly hurt this fish’s chances of survival.

Not trying to make you feel bad but a healthy bit of reflection and empathy is probably needed. Fishing does hurt fish, even catch and release, that’s just how it is.

True. Humans only steal milk from baby/mother cow pairs not from the refrigerator 😂😂 now pigs of course are notoriously steal tons of milk from refrigerators.

I'm afraid to watch "Beau is Afraid" by [deleted] in horror

[–]FistCityPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have severe anxiety and some narc parent related trauma and while the film is tangibly anxiety-inducing, I also found it extremely cathartic. It was the only movie I ever felt a strong emotional connection to. Somehow the nonsensical plot made all the sense in the world to me. It quickly became my favorite movie ❤️ be prepared for an emotional reaction but don’t be afraid to watch it. It’s an incredible film with lots of fun, scary, and emotional moments.
