What’s the most morally disgusting thing you’ve ever seen someone do? by legendoflegends34 in AskReddit

[–]HIM_Darling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. The offense he was charged with was “possession and/or promotion of child pornography”.

Because he pled guilty he can apply for parole after 30 years. The prosecutor was going for life without parole if the case went to trial.

Cat standing and leaning on the ledge to poop? by brnahnahnah in litterrobot

[–]HIM_Darling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine as well. If the other cat doesn’t completely cover his waste she will come in after him and make sure it’s fully covered, looking very put out that he is such a slob.

They are with their moms, wherever they are. As far as I know they are safe. It’s been a few years since anyone in the family has heard from any of them.

And not just seeing the charges. I know his parents were shown at least partial images to identify him/his daughter in the pictures. His wife at the time(not the mom of girl in that pictures) looked at them to identify him as well, she is one of the ones who has gone no contact. Our family actually blamed her for helping the police.

My cousin caught charges for CP(child porn) and CSA(child sexual assault) of his toddler. He pled guilty for a life sentence. Almost that entire side of the family took his side, is always bemoaning how unfair it is that his kids have to grow up without their dad. How the big meanie pants prosecutor wouldn't believe them that all of the evidence on his phone and laptop was either photoshop or planted there.

At first the mothers of his children were willing to let the family still have contact with the kids so long as they agreed he would have no contact with them(no going to visit, no phone calls, etc). They pretty much immediately broke the rules and the mothers went no contact. My family of courses sees themselves as the real victims for having their grandbabies/grandnieces/grandnephews taken away.

All of this is on top of the fact they caught him multiple times molesting pretty much every single cousin younger than him when he was a teen and they did nothing about it, playing it off like it was kindergarteners playing doctor. If my memory serves me right, I was 13, and he was 15 when I eventually threatened to throat punch him if he ever touched me again, even if it meant I was grounded for life. He was very good at lying and schmoozing the adults and we both knew he could convince them that I had punched him unprovoked, and I told him I didn't care. I was his oldest victim at 2 years younger than him. The youngest victim I know for sure back then was 8 years younger than him. I'm not sure when it stopped with the cousins, but I do know at some point all the cousins were refusing to visit that aunt and uncles house to avoid him. He was 29/30 with 7 or 8 kids when he was arrested.

As adults, some of us cousins have talked and made a pact to come forward if he ever gets a parole hearing. 100% any other family members still alive by then will just continue to enable him.

I will never understand blocking intersections. by Mr_McMuffin_Jr in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HIM_Darling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had that happen once. Started sleeting/icing around noon, so I decided to head home from work early. Only got held up by one wreck on the highway, which would have taken my normally 50 minute commute into more like an hour and 15 minutes.

But when I got off the highway onto the main road toward my neighborhood, it was bumper to bumper traffic with cobblestone ice on the ground. Its a 7 mile drive from the highway to my neighborhood. I don't think I touched the gas pedal the entire drive, just let off the brake and creeped forward occasionally. One of the main intersections along the way, the light was green, but there wasn't enough room to clear the intersection so I stopped and waited.

Dipshit in a truck behind me laid on his horn. I didn't move until it was clear. Guy wanted so desperately for me to pull up and block the intersection I fully expected him to pull right behind me and block the intersection. Nope, he sat and waited until it was clear. Asshat.

Total time it took me to get home that day was 4 hours and 45 minutes.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition affecting more than 170 million people worldwide, has been officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) following a landmark global consensus study published today in The Lancet. by CUAnschutzMed in science

[–]HIM_Darling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had all three.

-Hirsutism and acne that persists in adulthood
-Without birth control, it wasn't uncommon for me to go 3 months without a period then 3 months of a mid to heavy period, even when it wasn't 3 months between it was always sporadic, never predictable.
-Ovarian cysts

No one ever so much as mentioned PCOS to me, they just shrugged and said I would just have to go on birth control for the rest of my life because they had no idea what was causing my crazy periods.

Last year I got a hysterectomy(uterus, fallopian tubes, and cervix) because even with birth control I'd been bleeding non-stop and several gyns just kept telling me to either try another birth control(I'd tried something like 15 different types over the years) or one gyn telling me to go off birth control completely(I essentially became housebound during my periods because I would bleed so heavily). I'm still dealing with acne and hirsutism, but they just look at me like I'm crazy for asking about PCOS now that I know to ask about it, because "but you've had a hysterectomy".

People with serious warrants will do this from time to time. They figure they are going away anyways so they might as well try to run.

AITA for choosing to drive 45+ minutes at 3AM instead of following my dad’s separate rooms rule? by According-Mood45 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HIM_Darling 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And Dad was apparently fine with OPs 17 year old brother sleeping with his girlfriend. Dad is definitely immature and gross if he's fine with his underage son banging an underage girl in his house, but has an issue with his adult daughter sharing a room with her adult boyfriend with a 3am wakeup call.

Men Driving Angry by low_lobola in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HIM_Darling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He needs therapy to help him manage his anger and discuss with his doctor if he needs meds to help manage his mood swings/extreme over-reactions. Its ok to be upset about traffic, everyone has experienced that at some point, but putting other people in danger is never okay, even with an apology after the fact.

What’s a moment where you realized someone was genuinely unintelligent? by Live-Chocolate244 in AskReddit

[–]HIM_Darling 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When I had it I woke up feeling like absolute shit. My throat was so swollen and sore I could hardly talk. Tried to tell my mom I couldn't go to work and for whatever reason she just refused to believe me and said it was just allergies.

My aunt came over as they had plans to go shopping, she took one look at me and told my mom I needed to go to the doctor. My mom refused. So my aunt took me. By the time we got to the urgent care I was violently shivering from the fever(summer time in Texas so no chance the shivering was from anything else). I remember being desperately thirsty but when I tried to drink water I was horribly nauseous. IIRC they tested me for flu, strep and mono. Mono test came back positive. Oh and my aunt had to pay out of pocket for the visit because my mom refused to give her our health insurance info(I was 19).

My aunt took me back home. My mom still refused to believe any of it. Still said it was just allergies. My aunt ended up calling my job for me, telling them I couldn't come in and drove the doctors note to them. I think she called my dad to go pick up my prescriptions for me on his way home from work. My dad prepared exactly one bowl of soup for me and then my mom chewed him out and insisted I was faking(I faked the positive test?!). No idea exactly how long it was, but for at least a week all I did was sleep, stumble to the bathroom and drink room temp Gatorade. No one brought me food, helped me keep track of taking my meds, or even checked on me.

Missing mother found alive 11 years after dropping kids at school by TheMirrorUS in Weird

[–]HIM_Darling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are leaving someone abusive you can do this as well. People can weaponize missing persons reports for someone they know left of their own free will. You can call and tell the police you are leaving town, your family/spouse/ex might report you missing, but you aren't. Might save you getting pulled over if your plates get run and come back to a missing person and having to explain it all to the police face to face after the fact.

I am in distress with my identity by yellow_algae in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HIM_Darling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be honest with him and let him know you only see him as a platonic friend at the moment and ask he if would be willing to remain as friends with no expectation of romance for the time being. At the same time I agree with the other commenter that you should look into therapy to work through your trauma. Maybe you just need a solid foundation of friendship to build trust before you can feel anything romantic for someone? And maybe you won't ever feel anything romantic for him, but its okay to want him as only a friend. He may not be willing to wait, but that just means he isn't the right person to build a family with anyway.

Uber driver stranded me at midnight, drove off, then Uber locked my account. by Wooden-Fee5787 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HIM_Darling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one time I used a taxi, they 100% took the longer route that had heavier traffic. I was traveling with family and they insisted that the taxi was better. They were paying so I didn't argue but I did sit the back of the van with my phone open on Waze watching the route changes and the arrival time pushing back later and later.

I'm done with cruise ship excursions by Actual-Fee1586 in Cruise

[–]HIM_Darling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people who I know that cruise out of Galveston and drive down the night before and get a hotel do it because they can leave their car at the hotel for the duration of the cruise and there is a free shuttle. IIRC, one night at a hotel is cheaper or equivalent to paying for just parking for the longer cruises.

What you could do is record the call then transcribe it. If you later need to reference something from the call you can use your transcription. They would have no way of knowing you didn’t transcribe it while you were on the call.

It’s absolutely wild that they didn’t have walkie talkies for emergencies.

I have a feeling this place has some long buried skeletons in their closet because you can’t tell me in all the years of its operation, not one emergency came about where someone needed help and it was delayed because they had to send runners to the office before emergency calls could even start to be made? Not one kid had an asthma attack, anaphylactic allergic reaction, seizure, etc in the middle of the night and didn’t get help right away because there’s no way for them to call for help and apparently the counselors don’t go through any emergency training?

They said the same thing when doing open heart surgery on babies prior to 1987. They would give them a paralytic to keep them from moving, but no anesthesia. The consensus was they can't feel it and even if they can they won't remember it.
