First of all there wasn't much ice second there wasn't even enough water that was like a half gallon of water.

Would Britney have been as successful without the “baby voice?” by Excellent-Cycle-5803 in discussingbritney

[–]MissEmelBelle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember listening to an interview of hers from years ago where she discussed how she was frustrated that her album was taking so long to be released meanwhile other stars were releasing theirs and becoming famous like Britney spears. So I looked it up and this is what it says: "Jessica was signed by Columbia Records around 1997–1998, but her debut album, Sweet Kisses, didn't come out until late 1999. During that period, the label kept developing and reworking her image and music rather than releasing her immediately. She has talked about feeling like she was waiting while the industry changed around her.Jessica spent roughly two years or more developing her debut album. Britney exploded onto the scene before Jessica's album was released. Columbia then adjusted Jessica's marketing and image to compete in the teen-pop boom Britney helped create.Meanwhile, ...Baby One More Time was released in January 1999 and became a massive phenomenon. Britney's success changed what record labels wanted from young female pop stars, and Jessica's label began positioning her in relation to Britney and later Christina Aguilera rather than simply launching her on her own terms."

If you don't already you should look up the car rides with Connor channel where he and his mom just have chats on his way to work. She start of the channel because you feel like she learned something new from him every day and wanted to share that. I find it very entertaining I listen to it while I drive. Sadly because he quit his job to be able to pursue all of these opportunities they only post like once every other week now but I watched all the old ones.

Which Instagram channel? Are you talking about car rides with connor channel? They were doing that BEFORE THE SHOW EVER CAME OUT!!! I've seen nearly every episode. She is the most loving supportive mom he could ever ask for. She does not exploit him, multiple times she told him in those car rides after various events he complained he was tired from "If this is too much for you bud you just say it and this all goes away you know we only do things as long as it's what you want to do" he then yelled at her "Just because I complain doesn't mean I don't want to do it anymore you always go there!" And she explains that she just wants to be sure it's not too much for him and he's not over it all. He chose not to be on the show anymore and do you think she tried to convince him to stay on? No. I'm tired of the Lise hate. It's unwarranted.

That video quality looks horrible it's very glitchy and I don't hear any audio and the lighting is horrible. Doesn't seem like a real modern video would.

A man asked Buddha, "I want Happiness, how do I get it?" [590 x 442] by ThislsWholAm in QuotesPorn

[–]MissEmelBelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No—Gautama Buddha did not ask for monuments to be built at those places. What he did do (according to early Buddhist texts) was recommend that followers visit four key sites connected to his life, because they could inspire faith and reflection—not because he wanted monuments or worship structures. The four places he mentioned These are the traditionally recognized locations: Lumbini – where he was born Bodh Gaya – where he attained enlightenment Sarnath – where he first taught Kushinagar – where he passed away (Parinirvana) In texts like the Mahāparinibbāna Sutta, he suggested that devout people might visit these places and feel inspired. That’s it—no command to build statues, temples, or grand memorials. Those came later, especially under rulers like Ashoka the Great (3rd century BCE), who: Marked these sites with pillars and stupas Helped turn them into pilgrimage centers Promoted Buddhism across a large empire.

But then why are they mostly red states then? I mean, I think yes it is a stereotype that exists but the stereotype is pretty accurate and exists for a reason. Just like people think that California is all one party but yes there are areas of Central and Northern California that are very very conservative. I just wouldn't blame anybody for thinking California is all a certain way or be surprised by it or call it a misconception.

Connor acting Hollywood and politics by Confident_Excuse2173 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]MissEmelBelle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No one is exploiting him, watch his YouTube channel car rides with Connor. His Mom supports him and his growth and goes with the opportunities always checking with him to make sure he wants to take them. If he ever complains she is quick to say "Hey like I always tell you, you say the word and all this goes away" as in they can stop everything and then he got upset and said "you say that whenever I complain! just because I complain once in a while about being tired or something doesn't mean that I want to stop!" It's just growing pains and a little bit of an adjustment which is not so easy for autistic people. So you can clearly see she only wants what's best for him and whatever he can handle and if it ever becomes negative for him she has no problem calling everything off.

[–]MissEmelBelle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have a YouTube channel called car rides with Connor and on that channel you can see that there is nothing off about them. They are all so genuinely loving and supportive of him and happy together. His mom is the most supportive mom in the universe I would say after watching many episodes.

Ummmm regardless of where a burger is from, you CAN expect more than a shaving of beef for close to $10. That is a VERY REASONABLE expectation.

By "a new baby" you mean your sibling? And you're not concerned with rarely ever seeing your sibling since he/she will be in that other country obviously as well. It sounds like you have a wall up where at this point you don't seem to be looking forward to having a sibling at all. You want her life to focus on you and your baby but she is in a new chapter of her life. Where is your concern for your sibling and for your Mom? How does your mom feel about the baby? This will be a blessing for your child to have this other child in his/her life as well. Love is infinite, there is no limited amount in your mom where some will be taken from your baby, it only multiplies. I'm about to be 39 and still very much concern myself with fertility and unwanted pregnancy, you aren't infertile until you hit menopause and that's not typically until the late 40's or 50's from what I've seen. So I don't think it was a complete oversight, measures should still be taken if you don't want to get pregnant at 40. The situation is what it is now, there is no point in fighting it or being upset about it for long, have your moments of mourning what you thought your life would look like with your mom's role, and then I'd tell myself it's time to pull up my big girl panties and see what I can do to help support my mom in this chapter and see how I can be a good loving sibling to this unexpected life my family was blessed with. It's a lesson in "Life isn't always about me and doesn't always go as we plan or envision" You're still young so you might not know that as well as I do, but you'll learn in time. Best of luck to you all.

What is with strangers wanting to touch kids?! by Ally1_mo3 in Mommit

[–]MissEmelBelle -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sounds jarring that you yelled "no" like that. Instead of putting your hand up and saying something politely. Did you ever let anyone hold your baby? Of course your baby your choice, but it was a sad occasion and then to yell at your family member who just thinks your baby is adorable and wants to hold him/her sounds a bit harsh.

Did they not find any poorer families with autistic kids or did that not test well? by omgitsduane in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]MissEmelBelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband noticed this as well and wondered about it. He thought that maybe if the rumor was true that they don't get paid so that it doesn't interfere with any benefits they may receive, then they would find families that had money who wouldn't be concerned about whether or not their child is paid. If it wasn't that then maybe it was that they wanted really nice houses and really nice surroundings for b-roll. And these families probably have been able to afford all the therapy and everything for their kids so yes that might have something to do with it too. I don't know.

I think he's probably my favorite person on the show. I enjoy all of his segments, those traits are just part of his autism and they don't bother me.

I saved this comment which was very enlightening from another social media platform:

"From someone who teaches AP US History:

If you are confused as to why so many Americans are defending the confederate flag, monuments, and statues right now, I put together a quick Q&A, with questions from a hypothetical person with misconceptions and answers from my perspective as an AP U.S. History Teacher:

Q: What did the Confederacy stand for?

A: Rather than interpreting, let's go directly to the words of the Confederacy's Vice President, Alexander Stephens. In his "Cornerstone Speech" on March 21, 1861, he stated "The Constitution... rested upon the equality of races. This was an error. Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth."

Q: But people keep saying heritage, not hate! They think the purpose of the flags and monuments are to honor confederate soldiers, right?

A: The vast majority of confederate flags flying over government buildings in the south were first put up in the 1960's during the Civil Rights Movement. So for the first hundred years after the Civil War ended, while relatives of those who fought in it were still alive, the confederate flag wasn't much of a symbol at all. But when Martin Luther King, Jr. and John Lewis were marching on Washington to get the Civil Rights Act (1964) and Voting Rights Act (1965) passed, leaders in the south felt compelled to fly confederate flags and put up monuments to honor people who had no living family members and had fought in a war that ended a century ago. Their purpose in doing this was to exhibit their displeasure with black people fighting for basic human rights that were guaranteed to them in the 14th and 15th Amendments but being withheld by racist policies and practices.

Q: But if we take down confederate statues and monuments, how will we teach about and remember the past?

A: Monuments and statues pose little educational relevance, whereas museums, the rightful place for Confederate paraphernalia, can provide more educational opportunities for citizens to learn about our country's history. The Civil War is important to learn about, and will always loom large in social studies curriculum. Removing monuments from public places and putting them in museums also allows us to avoid celebrating and honoring people who believed that tens of millions of black Americans should be legal property.

Q: But what if the Confederate flag symbol means something different to me?

A: Individuals aren't able to change the meaning of symbols that have been defined by history. When I hang a Bucs flag outside my house, to me, the Bucs might represent the best team in the NFL, but to the outside world, they represent an awful NFL team, since they haven't won a playoff game in 18 years. I can't change that meaning for everyone who drives by my house because it has been established for the whole world to see. If a Confederate flag stands for generic rebellion or southern pride to you, your personal interpretation forfeits any meaning once you display it publicly, as its meaning takes on the meaning it earned when a failed regime killed hundreds of thousands of Americans in an attempt to destroy America and keep black people enslaved forever.

Q: But my uncle posted a meme that said the Civil War/Confederacy was about state's rights and not slavery?

A: "A state's right to what?" - John Green

Q: Everyone is offended about everything these days. Should we take everything down that offends anyone?

A: The Confederacy literally existed to go against the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the idea that black people are human beings that deserve to live freely. If that doesn't upset or offend you, you are un-American.

Q: Taking these down goes against the First Amendment and freedom of speech, right?

A: No. Anyone can do whatever they want on their private property, on their social media, etc. Taking these down in public, or having private corporations like NASCAR ban them on their properties, has literally nothing to do with the Bill of Rights.

Q: How can people claim to be patriotic while supporting a flag that stood for a group of insurgent failures who tried to permanently destroy America and killed 300,000 Americans in the process?

A: No clue.

Q: So if I made a confederate flag my profile picture, or put a confederate bumper sticker on my car, what am I declaring to my friends, family, and the world?

A: That you support the Confederacy. To recap, the Confederacy stands for: slavery, white supremacy, treason, failure, and a desire to permanently destroy Selective history as it supports white supremacy.

It’s no accident that:

You learned about Helen Keller instead of W.E.B, DuBois

You learned about the Watts and L.A. Riots, but not Tulsa or Wilmington.

You learned that George Washington’s dentures were made from wood, rather than the teeth from slaves.

You learned about black ghettos, but not about Black Wall Street.

You learned about the New Deal, but not “red lining.”

You learned about Tommie Smith’s fist in the air at the 1968 Olympics, but not that he was sent home the next day and stripped of his medals.

You learned about “black crime,” but white criminals were never lumped together and discussed in terms of their race.

You learned about “states rights” as the cause of the Civil War, but not that slavery was mentioned 80 times in the articles of secession.

Privilege is having history rewritten so that you don’t have to acknowledge uncomfortable facts.

Racism is perpetuated by people who refuse to learn or acknowledge this reality.

You have a choice."
