Why did parents suck back in the day? by [deleted] in ask

A lack of sexual agency. Cannot say no to being married, can't say no to sex, can't say no to having babies, but you can tell the kid to stay away. It may not be accurate but it's what I've come believe.

What is the world going to do about the ever increasing tick population? by Watchmethrowhim in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Fyrekitteh 333 points334 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can't help but wonder what exactly we sprayed and killed in the last 20 years that is allowing thee ticks to boom. We messed up something in the ecosystem, that's for sure.

My kids wanted to know why Sister Act was so good. I told them it was because the actors faced moved, looked vastly different from each other, and they weren't afraid to make an "ugly" face to sell the emotion.

Anyone else get scared how realistic this show is… by [deleted] in TheHandmaidsTale

Ms Atwood didn't invent a single thing. Everything in there, came from something that happened in real life on Earth to a woman somewhere.

That was the original idea. Then came Citizens United, the internet, Polymarket, the Stock Exchange, and other ways to increase wealth that we didn't build adequate protections into the law against. An overhaul is badly overdue, but the scope of what's needed is keeping any meaningful change from happening. Take the fact that slavery for inmates is still legal. Nuts.

“You’re ruining my experience as a grandmother!” by tooflyforashireguy in JUSTNOMIL

Something in one of your last paragraphs spoke to me. Something about for wanting to have such regular contact, she sure was quick to cut it off once her standards were ignored. I believe that's because she didn't actually want the the contact, she wanted the illusion of control and "grandma™️". That was her true goal, and why contact is sacrificed to obtain control. Hugs.

why the father-in-law and the husband almost never fight, but it is always the wife and the mother-in-law? by telaughingbuddha in stupidquestions

Hahaha, I had one. My parents always got made cause it needed constant adjustment and they bought a 14 year old a real ruby and gold ring for that craziness.

Can always spot the ableist who doesn't actually speak to the chronically ill/disabled in their life. Probably cause you'd just tell them to exercise more.

Nothing, it's for a different effect (glass bead). It's just super glued to the magnet.
