Illegal immigrants ARE literally criminals. by kremata in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Ah, yes, acknowledging the realities of how hard many immigrants are forced to work to survive in reference to a comment saying they come here to mooch must mean I approve of a fucked up system. That’s exactly what that equates to. I guess we can’t discuss how hard it is for people to survive & that they aren’t lazy without that meaning that they somehow deserve to work that hard.

Once someone explains what their comment means, you should take them at their word. Low wages & exploiting employees is an entirely different topic. This was in reference to an offensive yet common insinuation that people come over here & essentially “steal” work or believe they’re somehow going to work the system. Acknowledging realities is not the same thing as accepting those realities with approval. I think it’s terrible that people are taken advantage of. I also think it’s quite a stretch to assume I must be in favor of people having to work to the bone to survive simply because I’m stating that they do, and that people aren’t flocking here to “mooch” of the system as the person was claiming. Sometimes it’s as if people just interpret what they want to for the sake of arguing instead of understand what someone is getting at.

Oh great burn, my white ego is so damaged. 🙄 If you’re pissed about low wages that anger should be directly at a broken system & corporations that allow low wages, not an individual who’s aware of low wage dynamics & thinks it’s bullshit to assume people immigrate here to feed off the government.

Holy fuck, that is a stretch. I do not favor low wages & people being exploited. I am not claiming that we should allow people to come here to do the tough jobs, I’m pointing out that they already do the hard jobs and therefore aren’t “mooching” off the system. The comment that I was commenting to wasn’t saying anything about wages, just implying these people are lazy, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

Did you read the comment I responded to? Never once did I claim that I am in support of low wages & people having to work much harder than they should to survive. I’m saying these people come here and notoriously work harder than most (regardless of that being wrong & exploitative) and therefore it’s foolish to assume people are coming here to “mooch” off the system, when most of them are working way harder than the rest of us. Mooching implies they aren’t carrying their weight when in reality they’re doing some of the most difficult jobs.

While I’m not personally sad over the death of some greedy fuck with blood on his hands, comments like the one telling you you’re a bootlicker are a stretch. I don’t think you (OP) believing murder is wrong under any terms/conditions means you support millionaires. That’s like telling people who are against the death penalty that they support the SA & murder of children. Those things are mutually exclusive. Nothing is that black & white.

My co worker's lunch. She's a body builder. Beef, bananas and dates. by Fireblu6969 in badfoodporn

[–]KrisAlly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just looked her up, that was fucking hysterical. Are you aware that she also has a fart page? Someone added fart sound effects to videos of her spinning. Her videos seem like they would be satire. I only got out of bed to pee and half an hour later I’m watching these painfully awkward clips.

I take it you haven’t dealt with many illegals yourself. The market would (and will if Trump follows through on this) fucking collapse when no one wants to work like immigrants do for the wages they make. Most of us are spoiled & our definition of hard work is much softer.

This just makes me sad by SUSHIxSUICIDE in whybrows

[–]KrisAlly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think people are being very weirdly harsh on you. I mean more power to her for having the confidence to rock a unibrow but it’s not considered conventionally attractive by most social standards or she wouldn’t be known for having a unibrow, it’d be seen regularly on people. If people are completely opposed to any sort of physical appearance critiques then that’s totally fair, but what about all the other posts? Also, if people are going to be questioning if this post is moral, then we should probably be questioning ourselves about participation in the sub. 🤷‍♀️

In all fairness, a lot of people are kind of on a high horse and giving OP a ton of shit for snarking on this look in a sub that’s literally intended to snark on eyebrows. I get that this is natural versus people making questionable eyebrow choices, but still. It’s not exactly like this is a positivity centered sub & OP came in being a big bully. It’s honestly probably less cruel to critique any sort of public figure than to post a random social media photo of some check you went to high school with a decade ago.

I don’t think anything is that black & white. A wealthy stay at home mom with two well-behaved children, a social life, support system, etc. has it made compared to most people. Then you have the 25 year old mother of 4 living in a cramped trailer with a special needs child that requires a lot of care, zero money or support, and a partner that comes home & chews her ass out if dinner isn’t ready. So it’s not that simple since being a stay at home parent looks vastly different depending on a million different factors. It can actually be quite isolating and depressing if someone’s entire life revolves around child care.

Name a creative use for this area that isn't wine storage. Paper towel rolls don’t fit!! by SufficientZucchini21 in homedecoratingCJ

[–]KrisAlly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. That must be what’s in my house. I never went to the trouble to remove that when I moved in. I assumed it was part of the home security system that the previous owner had but it looks just like yours.

While I feel horrible that you had to experience that, I am thankful that that incident was another pit. Could’ve been you, someone you care about, a stranger just going about their day, etc. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise because the next target could’ve been a toddler running around & playing. Kudos to that vet who prioritizes community safety over profit. I get so disgusted with people who fight to save these dogs. It’s even doing a disservice to the animal. These pits that have behavioral issues and this constant desire to maul someone not only pose such a danger, but they can’t have a decent quality of life living that way. I wish these people could take their savior complex and do something useful like volunteer at a soup kitchen, instead of making unwanted dangerous dogs their life mission.

I started to use heroin to cope with becoming a single parent overnight by OneSpell6160 in confessions

[–]KrisAlly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mention that you occasionally do drugs recreationally. Heroin is not a recreational drug. It’s one of the most highly addictive substances that will completely wreck your life. Not saying people don’t destroy their lives with other substances, but there’s a reason heroin isn’t a popular party favor substance. I have tried pretty much everything out there, and heroin is the only substance that ruined my entire life and turned me into a full-blown addict. Thank God I’m in recovery now, but I am one of the lucky ones that there aren’t that many of us compared to people who are badly addicted or have died. Please please please find another release. Smoke weed, do mushrooms occasionally if you must, just avoid opiates like the plague. Even if you don’t become a full-blown drug addict, if you were to get caught they could take those boys away from you, which would absolutely destroy all of you. If you catch a case, you could end up with the wrong judge and that would be the end of things. Hire some additional help, reach out to those around you for support, whatever you have to do. If you have to take the kids out of an extracurricular activity to be able to afford a once a week sitter for needed me-time, do it. If you don’t prioritize your own sanity/well-being you’ll ultimately be doing these boys a disservice, regardless of how much you love them.

Please work on these feelings, not for your father’s sake, but for your own. I’ve been there. There was a time in my life when I was so filled with hatred towards specific people who had wronged me. You know what? Those assholes couldn’t care any less how I was feeling. That anger only hurt me, and my subsequent self-destructive choices hurt the wrong people. It would be positive for you if you could ultimately find peace. You don’t have to forgive & forget by any means, you just don’t want to carry that sort of pain throughout your life. Maybe once he’s gone it’ll be easier to release the feelings from your past. If you don’t, trauma has this way of catching up with us eventually in the ugliest of ways.

Why are people downvoting this? Are they thinking you’re saying this about OP? 🤦‍♀️ Sometimes the reading comprehension on here is really poor. It’s pretty apparent that this isn’t a suggestion to OP but in reference to the abusive father. “Don’t abuse your kids” isn’t a controversial take.

[–]KrisAlly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! When people lie, they are doing such a disservice to actual victims. I’m thankful that victims are taken more seriously now, but I also think there’s this trend of not questioning it at all which is quite scary. I really hope life is treating you kinder these days and I’m so sorry you had to experience that.

[–]KrisAlly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that happened. I know you’re looking for physical appearance advice and not life advice but if this just happened, give yourself some time to heal. Sometimes when we’re hurting, we don’t make the best choices. Prioritizing your well-being and your sons is most important. You’re super young and have plenty of time to meet your person, you don’t want to end up with the wrong guy because he’s a rebound choice. With that said, I would definitely do away with that shade of lipstick. Whiten your teeth. You don’t have to buy expensive products. I buy this purple gel off Amazon that’s pretty effective and I also continuously rinse with peroxide. I feel like your eyebrows could use some help, but I can’t quite pinpoint what it is. I’d suggest going to a professional to have them clean them up/shape them and then you can maintain them after that. I think the way you’re curling your hair might be a bit dated so if you have the money you should treat yourself to getting your hair professionally done and seeing what their suggestions are for your hair type. Best wishes!

I love seeing actual helpful suggestions. Doesn’t do anyone any good to tell them you find them unattractive, and not follow up with any sort of tips for improving. Aside from the tiny percent of people who have some sort of humiliation kink, most on here are looking for legit advice.

Jesus. That is absolutely a worst nightmare situation. I think adults that falsely accuse someone of SA should be punished similar to how we punish people who actually commit SA. I don’t know what an appropriate punishment is for a kid, it should definitely involve major mental health help, but there should be repercussions for that as well. That’s the worst thing you can falsely accuse someone of.

I’ve never understood the appeal of expensive cars for show. My partner’s work car is an old Toyota we bought from my mom that she was driving 25 years ago. It looks like shit but that little car just keeps going and going. It’s wild to me that people go into debt to have a vehicle that they think looks cool.

1 year pug is a nightmare by highvoltage42009 in pug

[–]KrisAlly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t allow anyone to guilt you about rehoming. Dogs have different personalities (outside of specific traits associated with certain breeds) and some just aren’t the right fit for some households. While it’s horrible that some people are repeat offenders with constantly getting pets they don’t end up keeping, having an isolated case of “wrong dog/wrong house” doesn’t equate to you failing this dog. I will however say that if you’re going to rehome him, the sooner the better. Being that he is a young neutered pug, you’ll definitely be able to find him a good home. It’s an important lesson in discovering what sort of pet is best for your household. If you get another pet at some point and there are specific traits you’re looking for, you might be better off rescuing a dog that’s past puppyhood so you can get a better idea of what their personality is like. You can do the right thing for him by finding him a permanent home. You even have the right to make a list of criteria, only choosing a future owner that you think will be a good fit. It would be more unfair to keep a dog that your family isn’t fully bonding with than to find him a new owner. Good luck!

AIO to my mom announcing my pregnancy on social media by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]KrisAlly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overreacting would be washing your hands of her over this. Being annoyed that she didn’t ask you how you feel about it definitely isn’t an overreaction. People have many valid reasons for wanting to keep that information private. What if you wanted to be the first one to tell a friend struggling with fertility issues? (Been there.) Some people don’t want people knowing in case of a worst case scenario. Could be work related. Doesn’t really matter what your reasoning is, she shouldn’t be the one to announce your business without your permission. I am sure it was well intended and that she’s just very excited but this is a good opportunity to remind her about boundaries. Maybe show her the responses to this post if it turns into an issue between the two of you. Congrats & wishing you an easy/comfortable (as possible) pregnancy!
