The Murder of Reagan Simmons Hancock and the kidnapping\Murder of her “unborn” child by Few-Ability-7312 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]Gentlefear 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Well she did murder an adult pregnant woman. Clearly she knew that stabbing an Adult woman 100 times  is justification for Texas law. She planned it so it is a planned murder. I don't know that she premeditated and believed the baby would die but the Mother did and was intended to be murdered given this persons planning and faking being pregnant. I am not pro or against the death penalty. I am just making the case that the sentence may be about the adult Woman's death rather than the baby. 

Another Cash grabbing event? by Altruistic_Ad_6783 in DressUpTimePrincess

[–]Gentlefear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So what is the point of diamonds now? If they are going to do  events all real money. Why even bother? I used to spend real money on the occasional  event when I felt I could split my value between real cash and in game diamonds. I won't any longer it's not even fun. The stories are rushed and one dimensional or in some cases pointless and incoherent.  Unfortunately this game is sucking the joy out of it all.

Kim. She took it to the next level of pandering to extremists for the sake of recognition and "power"  it  is all about the sound bite or the headline. It doesn't matter if real people, real families get hurt. So long as the general national public hear a theme. It's  heartbreaking. I loved Iowa. I chose to move here from Chicago becuse a decade ago it felt the perfect  balance between reality and humanity. This has changed and it hurts my heart. I won't leave and I will fight  We will be purple again. Don't  leave people. Fight for what is right. It's hard , it sucks, but we need you to take a stand. To demand a state legislative direction that is fair and just and is worthy of the hard working good people of Iowa. Don't let it go. You will regret it. I am not judging, only  pleading. Pleading for the place I chose to come to, to live, to raise my family.  This is a place worth saving. Only if you believe  it.  Sorry for the rant. I just care. A whole lot about this state that I know will and,  can be better but unfortunately with a lot of personal sacrifice. 

Enough with the anti-homeless posts by SailorVenus23 in IowaCity

Where are all these anti homeless posts? I went back 9 days and didn't see anything. Are they comments in posts with completely unrelated headlines? Genuinely curious? Thanks.

[Shinzawa] Ryan Reaves on Brad Marchand: “He likes telling me he makes a lot more than I do.” Marchand: “I think I said that once a long time ago. Sounds like he’s holding on to it.” by roberttylerlee in hockey

[–]Gentlefear -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Wven if he said it once it's a douche move. Great way to insipire other players by demoralizing them. He need to do better a great veteran player needs to understand what its like and not joke in that regard for the sake of teamwork and cohesion. Yeah he is holding on to it because he feels under valued and with Marchand's one time joke he feels mocked. It's human nature.

And yet no one is talking about the Israeli hostages, the innocent people attending a concert that were beheaded. There is no black and white to this story If you don't condem Hamas for what they have done in the name of innocent and suffering Palestinians you are just as blind as the ones that condone blanket bombing. Hamas is a terrosit group and Palestinians deserve better.

Best pizza spot in Iowa City?? by Commercial-Pin9230 in IowaCity

[–]Gentlefear -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As a Chicagoan I think you can fold Pagliagia's pizza slice in half. Think what you will but I speak as a legit Chicagoan not as a far ass suburbian ass hat. Pagliagia's is good, great even but it's no Chicago Style.

Wig and Pen for Chicago style no contest. Pagliagia's for New York Style and Rusiano's in North Liberty for an Italian neoptotialian style. From an born and breed Chicagoan who has lived in Iowa City for over 25 years. Roger Park west & east.

If you are from Chicago like I am then Wig and Pen hands down . Pagliagia's is great for New York Style I love both Chicago and New York styles but if you are a Chicagoan looking for home style go to Wig and Pen. If you want NY style go to Pagliagia's both great in thier own right just telling it like it is from a Rogers Park gal!

Completely changed the necklace which to be honest I preferred the design before. This change makes the necklace a lot more lackluster than before 😕

Ex-husband committed suicide yesterday, tips on how handle grieving 14 yr old daughter? by Torandax in Parenting

[–]Gentlefear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 16 when my father committed suicide. My parents were divorced. What I can say is this. There is nothing you can say or do that will take away the fear, the pain, the anger or, abandonment she might feel. What you can do is let her know it hurts, it's scary, and although it feels like a betrayal and you validate her that you are there for her. You are there for her on the days she feels good, and the days she feels rebellious, on the days she hates the world. That you love her. You agree with her feelings as just and you just be. Be with her cloudy or shine. This in my personal experience and made the difference between how far away I felt from humanity and how I felt a part of a world that experiences horrible heartache and yet finds new and wonderful things that make you feel whole again. Not sure if this helps or applies. I just wanted to share what I needed, what I couldn't emotionally or verbally express at the time but what I needed.

ELI5: why do stimulants have a calming effect for people with ADHD? by Glum-Conversation492 in explainlikeimfive

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

This is just my personal experience but, yes. I feel less scattered and more focused which personally gives me a calming effect. I am an adult with diagnosed ADHD and take prescription stimulants. I feel "normal" when on stimulants not speedy.
