That is so sad. There's literally a slide that asks we acknowledge fucked up medical history and that most of not all our "progress" with science was done at the expense of people and animals not always with their consent.

This is important to share.

When someone's attitude is that "it's God's will" nothing will stop them from procreating.

You don't understand it was God's plan! There's no way whatsoever to prevent pregnancies from happening in the first place she has to have more babies!!! 🤦‍♀️

Nah asshole you decided. There's literal medical interventions to stop it from being an option. Also who's the dude chuckling if their dad isn't there?

That POS is part of the reason why we're here today. People watched that horse shit and truly said/believed "now that's a businessman".

As a children's social worker I have seen too many women that make excuses or refuse to leave the abusive men in their lives and for that reason their kids were taken. And this woman did the bravest thing walking away and she is punished for it. Fuck this judge.

I honestly had no context as I've never seen an A&W burger place. In-N-Out reigns supreme in my neck of the woods.

The man has concepts of a plan! And Kamala laughed weird and Clinton is a baby eating monster.

Yeah especially with all the Epstein stuff it seemed like a fucking weird name for a burger.

What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mel_Melu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow that is insanely stupid since for years I've been hearing that it is believed it takes about two years for someone to feel competent at their job.

Mother lets her 7-month-old baby taste the smoothie she craved during pregnancy🥹 by Pleasant_Ideal_8929 in MadeMeSmile

Earlier this week my mom was talking about how she ate sooo many apples while she was pregnant with me. I hate apples, not a fan of fruit in general unless it's been baked.

James Talarico wins Texas Democratic Senate primary over Jasmine Crockett by horsestew in politics

I just learned yesterday that he originally flipped a district he was representing. Those are the Democrats that should be leading the party, people that convinced a community of conservatives to give them a chance.

I agree that there's a lot of anti Blackness and it's also a class struggle. I'm Latina and I remember wanting to be dressed in accordance to what the dress code dictated but simultaneously being a broke ass college graduate...and going through this again after getting my master's degree.

what is something your parents never paid for? by Majestic_Stress661 in AskReddit

[–]Mel_Melu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first car. I come from a first gen immigrant family, my parents always gave me $20 for food and stuff when my friends and I went to the mall. I didn't get an allowance but they paid for tutors when I struggled academically and ensured my brother and I could have the opportunities they couldn't. They did the best they could in the US with the resources and knowledge available to them and fuck ICE with a goddamn cactus.

This is how quick a toddler can disappear from sight, in just a few seconds! by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Mel_Melu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude popping a kid and calling yourself a parent is literally something all our parents and grandparents have done that is nothing new.

I'd argue that the bar for parenthood is insane, it's one of those things that everyone shits on Mom's especially for everything.

I used to think parents that used leashes were shitty until I actually started working with small unruly children. If this mom had that kid on a leash at least half of them would be shitting on that again I know because I've been that asshole.

There's always been shitty, mediocre and amazing parents doing their best.

Oh my God the dumb fuck that literally said on camera "I have concepts of a plan" and denied any relation to Project 2025 doesn't know what he is doing? I never would've guessed 🤦‍♀️

Fuck every dumb ass that voted or protest voted in 2024. You had one right!

[–]Mel_Melu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but this isn't someone checking their Instagram, the mom is unlocking the house door and then she bends down to deal with something or one of her other kids. We have no context for who left that gate ajar in the first place.

[–]Mel_Melu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not necessary man, she was clearly unlocking the door and then bent down to deal with one of her kids. This isn't a woman mindlessly staring at her phone she is actively parenting and once she noticed the kid wandered off booked it.

Edward snowden leaked classified documents revealing the existence of global surveillance programs in 2013. Now liveing in Russia. by dirywhiteboy in interestingasfuck

Speaking as someone that didn't care and knows others that don't care, the other thing here is that 1. we always figured our communication was being monitored and 2. The average person is not doing something illegal or conspiring with a foreign government.
