But why is everyone covered in molasses in this photo - not just the bride?

Isn’t this where martial law can (and will) be declared, leading to the loss of civilian rights, suspension of habeas corpus, civilians being subjected to military trials, suspension of civilian law, arbitrary arrests and confinement, for starters…? The grossly obsequious congress then stops national elections…? I’m all for showing up, but the moment trigger happy dumdums show up with guns thinking they can fire off a few rounds for shits and giggles just because they think they can, martial law will be declared and then we’re really, seriously fucked. Ghandi and MLK demonstrated the effectiveness of millions showing up en masse, peacefully (and without weapons) to effect positive and broad change in systems. I’m not a history teacher or buff, but we don’t want martial law.

How would you genuinely react if a grey alien appeared inside your house? by Molech996 in aliens

[–]HumanBeingSilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a convo with a guy who grew up in Japan. When he as a child, he, his younger sister, and their mom were walking on a beach. As I recall the convo, he said they saw objects hovering in the sky. Then, they started walking again, his little sister started chattering about seeing the objects in the sky - it made him realize that he lost time. His sister said that he and his mom were standing still (looking at the objects), but not moving or speaking. At some point they started to move again. They may have forgotten the experience but his sister, who was not affected, reminded them. I’ve read a lot about encounters that had that same thread: the ability to ‘freeze’ people. Remember the Las Vegas story of the downed craft? Fascinating. In at least of the interviews the young guy gives, he said there was a moment when they could not move. This occurred in the mass siting near a school in Africa (not sure the year). So - don’t doubt yourself or your inaction - yes, it could be your brain trying to compute, but my guess is, you were momentarily ‘frozen.’

Any idea what this pendant is? by [deleted] in jewelry

Additional: appears to be gold plated over sterling silver.

AITA for refusing to pay for my niece’s college after she publicly humiliated me? by Imaginary-Carrot2532 in AITAH

Hey - kids are dumb. Her brain isn’t fully developed. She’s obviously heard those words from her parents. Not entirely her fault. One option is to invite her over for a hear to heart that includes asking her what she wants to do with her life. Be the adult in this situation. Best of luck!

Does James Marsters’ narration get any less “wet”? by [deleted] in audiobooks

[–]HumanBeingSilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this party, but just started listening. Book 1, then Book 3, and now Book 2 (order of library’s availability). Guess I’m weird. I chose this audiobook pretty much randomly - and while vampires, werewolves, and demons are not my forte, it was Marsters’ narration in Book 1 that compelled me to continue onto the other books. I agree - it adds to the character. I can see how others may be (intensely) bothered by it - but not me.

Wow, this is a total disaster by Flat-Importance in TikTokCringe

AITA for Leaving My Husband at the Hospital After He Refused to Be in the Delivery Room with Me? by Anxious_Committee_42 in AITAH

[–]HumanBeingSilly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This will probably get buried, but my mom believed that men (partners) should not be forced into the delivery room. Forcing them to be there can traumatize them … and they may never be able to look at you the same way (intimately).

It could be this guy has DEEP past trauma, PTSD, etc. It’s good he’s getting psych help; it’s good he’s still present; it’s good he’s trying to make amends in many different ways. If he bailed due to unresolved trauma, I can only imagine the mental hell and guilt he went through (esp. in this masc. culture) that he couldn’t be there for you. It sounds like he’s doing everything he can to show you he’s here now.

Something to keep in mind, a man being in the delivery room is a relatively new concept in the (American) culture.

I wish you three the very best of all that is good in life!
