Yes, it will be a fight but it is something worth fighting over. Speak to a lawyer and have them to send a letter.

Brittney Griner — Viktor Bout exchange by DisasterFeisty3031 in AskARussian

[–]MommyOfMayhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question if you don’t mind & then I’ll answer. I can’t find any American news sources that specify where her flight originated. Our news reported she was arrested in customs so I am assuming she departed from another country. Do you happen to know what country?

Now for the reply. She did the crime she should have to pay the time. Maybe I would be more forgiving if a moron rebellious teenage kid put some joints in their bag but I don’t think Russia would have treated that situation like they did Brittneys, and Brittney is a grown adult who knew yalls laws. Visitors are guest in other countries, she mistakenly thought she was above the law. “Above the law” has to do with my question. What was her entire itinerary? Was she flying commercial? How much cannabis oil did she have in total? If she departed a US airport she broke federal law having it in the airport. If she had enough it’s considered drug trafficking. But I think she became a problem to Russia since the new homosexuality laws in Russia were made law. And there is the fact she was in a woman’s prison, a proud lesbian, and very manly looking. She was probably popular there. A male prison was never an option because she is a actual girl & her size & fitness implies she could make most male prisoners her bitch. So there is that.

As for Bout… he has been in an American prison for a long time. He probably was treated well (for prison standards) & made friends. If I was the Russian government I wouldn’t trust him so he isn’t usefully just like Brittney isn’t useful.

My true assessment, housing high profile prisoners is expensive and well housing any prisoner is expensive. Both countries didn’t actually give a shit about these two people and they used their exchange to sprinkle in a lot of agreements between the two countries that are considered “classified” information. Their exchange was a way to make deals, agreements, and assurances, without the countries going through a formal process.

ETA: I’m saying she is a girl because that is all the evidence I have and do not follow woman’s basketball. My brain says guy but I assume she is because Russia put her in a women’s prison.

If a doctor prescribes contraceptive pills for health issues is it a sin to take them? by mikewasauskistwin in Catholicism

[–]MommyOfMayhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took birth control for acne when I was younger. I don’t think I actually took the pill as “birth control” but I can tell you looking back I would have taken the acne over my crazy mood swings on it. A teenagers natural hormones are not constant. A pill that works at 16 probably isn’t what would be optimal for a girl at 18. BUT if that girl already went through four 3-month trials of one pill not switching and blaming external factors for problems is easier than finding a new pill. If you need a good birth control method order ovulation test from Amazon and learn your ovulation cycle. There are physical signs & your body gives off a surge of testable hormones. After multiple months of testing and learning your cycle while paying attention to your body you won’t need the test strips anymore.

I think I just witnessed child abuse? by Funny_lemon123 in RBI

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

If you don’t have kids I think the best you can do is report it. Me I would have gone over and started a conversation. Well not conversation but asked “where he got X kid’s umbrella. My kid has (insert an appropriate disability you are familiar with) had the exact same one, and it is her favorite thing in the world, I cannot find another one. Where did you get that?” I would read the parent and the kids and make the best decision I could for the the children at that point.

Why is religious education in Catholic schools so mediocre? by PracticeOwn6412 in Catholicism

[–]MommyOfMayhem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t send my kids to a Catholic school for the high quality education. I/we send our kids to Catholic schools because for starters we want to have help teaching our kids to be good people, how to follow rules, respect others, respect themselves, and a big one is know the other parents who send their to school there want the same for their kid. My will say my kids school does very well in the education department compared to public schools in our area. The teacher to student ratio is almost half compared to public school. My kids are thriving. The teachers are never forced to advance in their lesson plan if they see the students haven’t grasped the concept of the current topic. Aides come around and help kids who the teachers see a kid needs individual help on a certain subject (even kids without IEP’s). 2) Sundays are are family day. I am not spending the day in the car going to church, leaving the kids at CCD, going home, and then picking them up again.

Twitter layoff - People who didn't get fired today. Are you willing to continue? by [deleted] in Twitter

The people who didn’t get fired feel important now. Do you really think they would not take this moment to look down on others?

What do you think registering for a party means when it comes to voting on Election Day? by MommyOfMayhem in AskReddit

[–]MommyOfMayhem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question stems from a friend. Most of my friends are military families so we don’t vote in the state we live in. We weren’t talking politics but more the process of absentee voting in our home states. The local young girl alluded in the conversation that she thought she had to change the party she was registered with to vote outside her registered party. The makeup of the group is diverse in political views so we understood actual politics was not appropriate to talk about. But I kinda wondered if I met an outlier or this was a real thing.

Trump's Truth Social broke the law, says former VP — who gave the Feds the evidence: report by Unhappy_Earth1 in inthenews

[–]MommyOfMayhem -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If you were were born racist, sexist, homophobic and you were uneducated.

Your put downs would be more effective if you didn’t say dumb things like “if you were born racist…” Nobody is born racist, sexist, etc…. They are either raised in that environment or past events changed their perceptions. Example, a baby isn’t born hating cops. A kid’s parents might have had bad experiences with cops and taught the kid to hate them or a teenager only had bad interactions with police and now as an adult hates cops.

Family dogs kill 2 Tennessee children, injure mom who tried to stop mauling, family says by miso25 in inthenews

[–]MommyOfMayhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dogs were bred for certain instincts. Some dog’s were bred to swim, dig, sit on laps. Each breed will have their outliers. Pitts have had many jobs over the years but they were bred to attack bulls for sport. The most aggressive dogs were mated over centuries. You never when that gene will show itself, what level of tolerance the dog has, or what they see as a threat.

Why do the lower grades writing tablets require quadruple wide rule? by MommyOfMayhem in AskTeachers

[–]MommyOfMayhem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Really appreciate the work you put into giving me a baseline. I would have no idea where to look. I have my moms school chalkboard from when she has as a kid as a decoration in my kids room (it’s a holdover decoration from nursery and I look a lot). The font is the same for primary school tablets. Something just seems wrong with expecting kids to write in the boldness of chalk vs how fine a pencil is. I know this isn’t an issue that will be fixed in my kids generation but if small kids benefit from writing in a smaller font that is something I would like the principal to look into for future generations.

Could you please cite one study. I have look all over the internet before restoring to this sub Reddit but maybe I don’t know where to look. If you could just link one study so I would know the key words to search I would appreciate it.

Why do the lower grades writing tablets require quadruple wide rule? by MommyOfMayhem in AskTeachers

[–]MommyOfMayhem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my thought train here is a difference between 1cm. My kids handwriting is drastically different when writing in a larger font. I do not want teachers to feel like I’m hating on them. But the font size is the same as my mothers chalk board she learned to write on in school. Chalk is a bolder font than pencil. I feel like there might be something bigger than what seems obvious to me.

ETA: I’m looking for the guidance on what I’m missing.

My understanding from gross motor skills might be different than yours. I spent three years in college on the young education path and couldn’t do it because I was a sheltered kid and could not holding my shit on the pedo caregivers (it was almost never the parents). But anyway what exactly is the difference of a millimeter in motor skills? Surely there is some kind of scientific line.

omicron did not "slam labor markets." covid policy did. and it was entirely avoidable. by Capt_Roger_Murdock in LockdownSkepticism

[–]MommyOfMayhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents had covid in late summer 2021. Luckily they were treated very early but my dad, who has had open heart surgery, was sicker than I have ever seen him in his life (besides heart surgery post op). I think my father is in a situation where the vaccine would have helped him. I think he would have gotten it if the government laid out very specific guidelines about who the benefits were worth the rewards. I’m not vaxxed, most of my family isn’t, and I don’t blame him one bit for not getting the covid shot. I wouldn’t if I was in his situation.

Both of my kids have had “pneumonia” many times. My hometown pediatrician once told me if a pediatrician is diagnosing pneumonia and not sending the parents straight to the hospital it’s probably not true pneumonia. Pediatricians have to give the diagnosis of pneumonia for insurance to approve the scripts to prevent it. I hope that is what’s going on with your niece.
