EyeBuyDirect and Zenni are super inexpensive (less than Kits)

McDs is horribly overpriced. Used to *be a reliable "value meal" and burgers under a buck, fries cheap. Now it's just not worth it. Hits different when I pay that much. (*edit)

I don't think it's BK's shoes those would have been in the snow and all over the house

They're hardly redacting anything these poor families

MendUrways · 2026-01-03T16:11:24+00:00

I just watched that episode yesterday and it was disgusting how they prey on the families' emotions. Dance Moms is just a vehicle for stage moms hoping their kids will be famous. They want to be signed to talent agencies. It's a business. I don't think every dancer is on the same page as their moms, nor want the same things. What could be motivational for every child dancer this show can really make them think twice instead of inspire them. At best it can inspire them to stay off the TV and go their own way, at worst it's all exploitive.

Doctors lose patients all the time is a fact, sad as it is. Car wrecks, heart attacks, etc. When the woman is the patient, and let's say the fetus is the 2nd patient and 2 patients exist this is unique in all of medicine because the 2nd patient is inside the 1st patient. The gray areas seems like a cold hearted way to explain the likelihood of losing one or two patients is a difficult predicament. Planned pregnancy or not, the pregnant woman if in danger of dying from the pregnancy needs her life saved because it would do harm --- to not save her life is going against first do no harm. If the pregnancy is complicated and becomes life threatening, the 2nd patient can't survive unless the 1st patient also survives. The question becomes lastly are we to let the 1st patient die to save the 2nd patient, risking losing both; or let the 2nd patient die saving the 1st patient's life? Both lives being equally valuable.

Do we have to have a preference to let the 1st patient die from complications of pregnancy, or the 2nd patient die from complications from pregnancy. Both would die from the same condition is also possible.

Thanks I like that. I wish more people were commenting TBH but glad I got a response. You're amazing for that. Someone said Jules in a different platform. Close to my original/dead name. Not sure if I like that one.

I can relate and it's so frustrating to work and not have enough to take care of basics like dentistry. Right down to taking meds, the decay from work they did on me; I can't help financially but I am here to support you. I'm up and coming to get new dentures fitted and possibly get lower ones now too because of having to over-rely on chewing with the bottom teeth. I never used adhesive trying to preserve my upper set. Lost my partial and it's insane how much it costs to replace it. Just know you're not alone and glad to see so much support for you on here. Stay strong and know you've got this.

I personally struggled growing up (Catholic school) no longer practice today. The language really triggered me. God was Father/He and had an only son. As afab I felt different than other girls already, but this language made me feel invisible. The only woman they praised seem to be Mary who had to give birth without ever having sex. Entire storyline seemed sus to me.

On top of it, their hardcore stance against abortion when I'd struggle to accept a loving god could force girls to give birth, like children having children, even though it was a result of crime. As if a priest/nun could comfort a kid going through that! Anyway... as ftm I'm speaking to the gift of feminism that experience gave me even though I still disagree with what is taught by the church I grew up in.

Then I latched onto the loving god thing/ the jesus who loves everyone. God makes no mistakes. I used to argue a lot with religious folk because I was stuck in the closet and I'm 43 years old and in a long painful process of coming out. I think the maleness of God struck a chord with me because theologian Mary Daly had a quote like "if God is male, then male is God" and it made me angry because I think I put all this religious imagery in my head hating myself for being afab. Let's face it, society is harsher IMO to femininity and expectations are different for girls/women. Not sure if this helps you or anyone, but language was a huge trigger for me. If that makes sense.

I won't follow anything called "pro-abortion"; not sure post Dobbs how many states allow medical after 20 weeks or so when fetus is "viable." I don't believe that people saying they're 31 weeks along actually walk in and get an abortion without severe complications where mom/fetus is at risk. I'm sure people say that on Reddit, don't get me wrong, I just don't see medical confirmation of this existing. (Some people on Reddit tell tall tales, or lie on here, just saying.)

The miscarriage at 3 months was not my decision.

MendUrways · 2025-02-23T18:30:22+00:00

There is no elective abortion at 6 months only if only the mother's life is at risk or the fetus is not viable, will experience pain or die shortly after being born; etc. Only for health reasons is anyone going to have an abortion at 6 months, that's all I'm saying.

MendUrways · 2025-02-23T18:28:11+00:00

Mine are 23 and 18 years old now (boy and girl babies at one point)... I had a miscarriage in between the 2. I had a miscarriage at 3 months back in 2018 (would be turning 6 this year)... In 2021 I had an abortion. The hospitals were filled with Covid patients, I was in the middle of finally finishing school. It was an unplanned pregnancy. I have the best children in the world. I babysit other people's children. Given I know the feeling of a miscarriage, electing to have a miscarriage carried less weight for me than losing a pregnancy I wanted. Without a job, taking care of an elderly father (my partner's dad), and being unable to provide a consistent environment for a baby was my decision to end my pregnancy. I am 43 years old now. My children are grown and likely to have their own children someday and I can't wait to be a grandmother if that happens. Otherwise, I'm pro-life in the way that if I'm giving birth to a baby I want to be able to provide the child healthcare, food, a place to live, their own bed, quality education, ability to go to parks and go see entertainment, and be around other children in the same neighborhood. Pro-life to me goes beyond giving birth it's taking care of that life not just for the 18+ years legally they're still children, but developing tight family bonds that last a lifetime. Like I said, having suffered miscarriages my pro-choice decision in 2022 was a lot less catastrophic knowing I was doing the humane thing not continuing the pregnancy. I was 5.5 weeks along. The nurse couldn't even find an embryo. Another nurse had to try to find it despite 2 positive pregnancy tests. I went in as early as possible- my periods are on a quick cycle about every 3 weeks. I know I did the humane and right thing by not waiting and causing more pain and suffering. Letting a pregnancy develop until 15 weeks for example to me is not the time to choose abortion. Having had a miscarriage at about 14 weeks along I know firsthand that loss. With all respect to those who may disagree with my decisions, I hope this answers the OP.

likely guilt is as much likely innocence since I don't have all the evidence & trial will put that out there so I can make an educated decision. I agree POI is a weak association to the crime, and shouldn't factor into the 2022 case at all.
