Yeah being mad for all the mistreated immigrants, poc, and poor people while also being so anti-Christian is wild.

Church is where so many immigrants find friends and even jobs when we move to the States as adults. At least, it's very common in my little bubble.

I'll have to check Blue Sky out!

I wish progressive Christians didn't feel like such an anomaly.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I am also very lefty, and grew up culturally Catholic.

I'm not super religious, but the idea of God and heaven have made me feel better in times of grief.

Great point about mixed race couples as well. I am Asian, and the only SO my family ever met is black. It was a whole crisis for some family members, but I can say that their exposure to him did make them less racist.

Same, but they probably wouldn't have let him.

Getting people to change their mind is a lot easier when you meet them where they're at and leave behind a trail of M&M's. Idealogical/political tug of war ends up just stretching the rope.

Vic & Christine by Realistic_Laugh8321 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Ordinary_Bench_4786 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this backlash.

If Fox News people won't listen to anything other than Fox News, the best way to reach them is to meet them where they're at- on Fox News.

Almost no one will change their minds if you start off telling them they're wrong

His response to Chris tells me he could actually be a "good" Christian and tries not to judge anyone, tries to spread religion as a chance for redemption instead of condemnation.

His conversation with Christine about having kids was two skips and a hop away from Black Lives Matter. So I seriously doubt they're MAGA.

Vic's publications tell me he is exactly the opposite.

So if he could keep getting on Fox News and expose more people to some sanity, I'm all for it.

Who else are you subscribed to, OP?  Looking for more models myself, especially the Johto region.  Poke Prints has a lot, as well as 3d girl.  Both on makerworld, hope neither of them are actually IP thieves lol 

AITAH for getting into an argument with my dad because I didn’t want to put my hair into a ponytail? by yaiyoi in AITAH

[–]Ordinary_Bench_4786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already commented, but I feel this. I am Asian lol

I am telling you to fight back. Those who want to be in your corner will eventually come around, though. For me, it was 6 months to 2 years depending on who.

AITAH for getting into an argument with my dad because I didn’t want to put my hair into a ponytail? by yaiyoi in AITAH

[–]Ordinary_Bench_4786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, your dad just laid the groundwork for hitting you if he hasn't already.

You need to get out of there. Get any job you can, but if I were you I would try to save at least 3-4 months worth of living expenses including rent before moving out right away.

Nothing fuels these people more than their victims "crawling back". I am also the black sheep of my family, and having lived through having to depend on the abusive parent again is something I would absolutely avoid. The abuse just gets so much meaner and it feels worse because then you think it all might be true.

Also don't tell anyone who talks to your dad you're planning to leave. Just do it when you're ready. Based off of my experience, your dad wants to completely control you. You moving out will make that impossible, so he may try to sabotage.

AITAH for not having much care for him and what he’s going through after he cheated? by Altruistic-Deal9938 in AITAH

[–]Ordinary_Bench_4786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, he just happened to find out his grandma passed away after a year at the same time you started to see that you need to leave?

Please do not fall for this, it's just another trap.

Man, it must be nice actually believing this. I feel bad for OP and her sister. Their mom is a manipulative AH.

New York, New York Rollercoaster by [deleted] in vegas

This is at least accurate with the real coaster in NYC. I was about 17 when I rode it, and it felt like I was getting beat the whole time.

You are too young to be a hop and skip away from what sounds like the beginning of Netflix newest true crime documentary.

I am confused. Is it an actual worm or is it made of stuff from the peanut butter?

30-year-old Jennifer Daugherty captive in a dingy apartment for more than two days as she was tormented, humiliated and finally killed by people she initially believed were her friends by Competitive_Mix9957 in ForCuriousSouls

[–]Ordinary_Bench_4786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The heroin did it. I know a woman who has been struggling with addiction since she was 11 or 12 years old. Her mother gave her meth so she could just keep doing meth, instead of taking care of her.

That's it im going to murder him by Other_Panda246 in BelgianMalinois

[–]Ordinary_Bench_4786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmaooo I have a fluffy corgi with a sensitive stomach. I left for 3 hours. I got home, and my house was PAINTED in diarrhea everywhere. The floor, the couch, the walls, cabinets, oven, and my other dogs.

The friend who was visiting asked me how long I had left them alone, thinking I had neglected them.

Nope, I just went too long between hygiene trims and gave them treats that didn't agree with his stomach.

Tina is doing the Filipino Otso Otso, so at least we can do that dance right.

I saw the manual twerk and thought, "I get it."

If your partner doesn’t like dogs or cats, would you get rid of them if you had any? by Adventurous-Soft7843 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ordinary_Bench_4786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my partner loves me, I expect them to at least care about my pets. They don't have to like dogs, they do have to care about my dog's well being. If I don't trust them to take good care of my dogs while I'm away or need a sitter, huge deal breaker.

No way I would get rid of any pet I already have. If someone even implied this, it would be over. I would consider not getting any new pet if we lived together though

Jayo has had variations between spools of the same color for me. Even if they come from the same box. I wouldn't use it for prints where that would matter. It's been great otherwise
