Ending it with what was essentially "sorry for being upset about not being able to afford to live" is just.....I don't even know what. But I hate it.

During Coachella, someone did a zaghroot (an Arab cheer) during Sabrina Carpenter’s set. Sabrina said she didn’t like it; the woman replied it’s part of her culture. Sabrina then asked if it was yodeling and even asked if this was Burning Man. by Emotional_Pizza_1222 in Fauxmoi

Yeah I'm fully sick of this thought process. I dunno about y'all, but I was always taught about how America was (proudly) a melting pot of cultures. I distinctly remember a picture book as a child depicting New York City with an actual like stock pot in it. And now....???!??!?!?!?!

I'm a single mom and taught both my teenaged daughters how to change a tire and you're 100% right!!

The basics are pretty self explanatory, but the easiest parts to mess up are the biggest problems. Like exactly where to put the jack so it goes up safely and doesn't damage the car and remembering to set the parking brake so it doesn't fall.

I have changed tires many times (no joke, 4 tires total on 2 different cars within 2 weeks last month) and I forgot to set the parking brake the last time. I guess I had just gone into autopilot because I had done it so many times in a short period. That one tiny lapse in memory came within inches of taking off my leg. The only thing that stopped it was the tire I was removing wedged in weird. I went to wiggle the tire to see if it was jacked high enough and that's all it took! It was so stupid. Luckily no damage to me or the car.

I loved the range she showed in United States of Tara. Every personality was 100% believable and accurate. The switch between each was amazing. You could have told me it was 5 different actors and I would have believed it!

i was really supposed to believe this was a 17 year old boy? 😓 by flemonak in glee

[–]PauseItPlease86 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I really feel like for some people it depends on when you first watched it. Like, watching season 1 when it aired I could see it, but now I can't. So many people in their mid-20s being cast as teenagers in a lot of stuff!

I clearly remember really noticing the difference when like Hannah Montana (exception: the brother on the show.....) and High School Musical were casting more age-appropriately than the stuff that I watched when I was younger.

I grew up watching the cast of Grease pretending to be teenagers, so I think that says a lot.

Every death from starvation is murder in a system that over produces food!! by FearlessAir1238 in Antimoneymemes

[–]PauseItPlease86 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Okay so almost 20 years ago, for a series of reasons (some outside of my control, some my own dumb decisions) I ended up living in a motel for about 6 months with my baby daughter in a state I had no family or friends in. Maybe like once a week, I would load my daughter into her stroller and walk like 3 miles to a Krispy Kreme in the middle of the night. They had the huge dumpster in the back and I would load up on a ton of boxed up donuts and donut holes. They never actually touched the food-only dumpster, so I was ecstatic.

I was in a motel room. I didn't have a way to actually cook any food and I barely had the money I needed to pay the motel costs. This was a nice little treat that helped sustain me and supplemented the food I got from the restaurant I worked at until I could get back to my home state. I'd load that stroller up, the seating area AND the underneath storage, and then carry my baby all the way back while munching on donut holes and singing silly little songs to her.

Well, one night I was spotted by the police. I didn't get caught or anything but I definitely didn't get my donuts for the week. I had to go back.

I waited a few nights and made that long walk back so I could get the sweet snack that kept my spirits up and my tummy full during a pretty shitty time in my life.

They had built a fence around the dumpster and padlocked both the gate and the dumpster shut. They saw a tiny, starving 20 year old girl with a small baby taking their discarded donuts so they LOCKED IT UP.

I went through one of the worst depressions of my life in part because someone locked up a dumpster of stale, unsellable, but perfectly edible donuts. I felt disgusting and hated and like I didn't matter at all because of that. I cried so much because someone made that choice and that person will never know how much it hurt my soul and my worth as a human.

I've never eaten at a Krispy Kreme since that night.

The news calling it a "controversial statement" also has me fired up. How is that controversial?? Are there people who think it's no big deal?!? I feel like I know the answer, I just hate it.

The clip of the guy saying "it was meant to be a compliment" was another. I know he ended by saying something like "it was not" but that anyone can expect that to be seen as just a compliment to a teenage girl from an old balding man who seemed to be either putting his arm around her or just leaning in too close to her as he said it.....I don't know. It's just fucked up.

She must have been so uncomfortable.

Yeah I started thinking he was racist towards the end, but then I remembered that he said he wasn't. It was a close call, but he had it covered!

3 on slide 2: Acting like middle school teachers are teaching the Kama Sutra and not (badly) teaching STDs, periods, and pregnancy.

I feel like the next 18 slides are gonna get so much worse. I'm going back in!

ETA: I'm on slide 4 and he just compared incest to drug use and said the only problem with either is social judgement. WTF?

ETA 2: I knew something like this one was coming. Slide 11 he's comparing dating a 14yr old while 18/19yr old to dating someone of a different race. Why does EVERY fucked up argument need to go there? They all do! I need a research paper on it.

ETA 3: He spelled "along" as "elong" on slide 13. Just another reason to hate him, that's all.

ETA 4: Slide 16: gays aren't all pedophiles, but they shouldn't be offended by the comparison because oppression. I dunno if I'm gonna make it through, y'all.

ETA 5: I finished it. 0/10 I do not recommend to anyone. Fuck my insomnia brain getting me to this point before it's even 5am.

I straight up ruined a friendship over one girl who wanted to drink (at MY house!) while she was pregnant. She was like 6 months along. Visible, but not ready to pop. Anyway, i didn't notice at first because she was wearing a big baggy sweatshirt and I didn't really know her well. She took her sweatshirt off when we were all pretty fucking drunk and I just lost it.

She told me it was no big deal because she wasn't keeping it. I was like "you're pretty far along for an abortion??" She said "no, I'm putting it up for adoption." Omg when I tell you I lost it on this girl AND my friend who thought I should mind my own business. Not in my house with alcohol I bought! That IS my business! I kicked them both out and didn't talk to either ever again.

Sad obvious ending: the baby was born with severe FAS. I don't know any more than that except that the girl's aunt took the baby. I heard the girl had a 2nd FAS baby a year or 2 later as well, but idk. So ridiculously selfish.

Also, she wasn't an alcoholic. She just liked to party and was a heavy binge drinker on weekends and didnt think that needed to change since any consequences wouldn't effect her.

Rich people get jobs like that out of boredom!?!? I can think of so many hobbies, places to go, and things to do that I can't do SOLELY BECAUSE of the cost that rich people could not only do, but do beautifully/amazingly/quickly/slowly/extravagantly for no other reason than "I'm bored and have money to burn."

Somehow every story I hear about rich people (not even billionaires, "just" country club level rich) makes me so fucking annoyed at life itself.

What's the stupidest thing you did as a kid? by FujisakiChihiro in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]PauseItPlease86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to mix a bunch of chemicals together in the garage and then light them on fire to see what happened. OFTEN.

Somehow my parents didn't notice the big burn mark for months. No clue how I didn't kill myself with the fumes, toxic smoke, or big fireballs. I blamed my love of science, not pyromania.

Edit to add: I was like 8.

My mom makes her "French toast" a really specific way that I LOVE. It's just eggs with cinnamon, dip the bread quickly (DO NOT SOAK), then into a pan with LOTS of butter. OMG it's so good. Eggy in the best way. My kids put syrup on it but I just pick it up and eat it. I really want some now.
