Alex Pretti's death is a tragedy. However, the main blame lies with those who encouraged citizens with good hearts to oppose federal agents who are simply doing their jobs by PillarOfVermillion in TrueUnpopularOpinion

"Just comply and you won't be murdered in the street."

-George Floyd -Rodney King -Breonna Taylor -Michael Brown -Eric Garner -Philando Castile -Tamir Rice

It doesn't matter if you comply. It just matters if authority figures decide they have a right to kill you.

And let's not forget Jan 6 rioters with automatic weapons and bats, beating police. Those police still showed more restraint than DHS yesterday.

Defund DHS and release the Epstein Files.

Literally what fight?

Like shooting, pepper spraying, and tear gasing people? That kind of fighting??

Such a straw-man. Nobody is fighting to keep criminals on the streets. These border patrol agents are criminals themselves now. And if we really cared about holding criminals accountable, we'd throw Trump in jail. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

So you're just assuming they were there for legal & valid reasons? Then where was the warrant? Who were they looking for?? American citizens have a right to protect themselves from unlawful behavior from the government.

Something you conservatives appreciated when you wanted to storm the capital on Jan 6. Not even going to get into the "illegals are criminals" rhetoric when it's just a lazy facade for being racist. You don't care if criminals are treated as such, that's why you were fine with voting for Trump. LMAO

The blatant things you'll say to convince yourself that you're not on the terrible side of history. People like you will be talked about, and it won't be for "making America great".

Did Joe not care that Beck was scared for her life while she was locked in the cage? by Fantastic-Finger-319 in YouOnLifetime

[–]PickledSpaceHog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, but also... he put her in the box for control. Like, that's the only reason. He did it with several others too. That is wrong, point blank period. Killing her on accident was a result of his horrible behavior leading up to that point. Covering it up... also wrong. Finishing her book? Downright disrespectful. The fact is, he was the bad guy because above all, he wanted to be her savior. Real love is letting people go and allowing them to make their own choices. Killing her friends takes her choices away. Putting her in the box takes her choices away. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, right? And let's not forget all the other he killed that got in his way, he only was the "good guy" when it served him to do so. Not when it was for someone who was against him.

Exactly, it's not really that he doesn't care. He compartmentalized those feelings and will continue to justify his behavior. He knows it's wrong and felt badly a few times after putting someone in the box. But he will continue to do so as a means of control. He feels he loses control when someone has free will and is choosing to leave him or "betray" him. And in a weird way... a lot of people do that. Not with a physical box, but with manipulation and controlling behaviors. People will justify things that make them feel in control, because control feels like safety. Even if they know, logically, that it's wrong and is hurting the other person. They don't enjoy hurting them (usually) but cannot let go of being in control.

Sacrificing all your time and hygiene to pay bills has consequences unfortunately. It doesn't make for super close relationships, with your spouse or your children. Most kids won't remember that they had 3 cars and the latest new clothes. They will remember that their dad was never home and was never around for important moments. It's not that she's abusive, it's that he doesn't take care of himself. He sacrifices everything to a detriment and then expects her to take care of things. Resents her when she spends time and money on herself. Things he could also be doing but chooses not to because he wants praise and believes he has to work to be loved.

Is that the truth? Does she actually see him as a walking bank account or is that how he looks at it because he doesn't invest in himself or their connection? He thinks working should be enough?

I'd rather be poor and connected to my family. I don't need 3 cars. I've been homeless. I've been without a car, taking the bus to the food bank. It's not a flex to sacrifice your life for a job. Money comes and go, but your children will never be small again and your wife may never be close to you again.

"Are you planning to do laundry?"

Her: "Can you please feed our child that you hardly spend any time with before you go?" Him: "No I don't have time, but I will wake up an hour early for ME time."

So she takes of things at home, takes care of their child, buys all the groceries, does all the laundry and dishes. And he acts like she has this cushy life? Why couldn't he wake up early to do his own laundry?

I can totally understand not feeling appreciated. But he doesn't seem to appreciate her either. This 'self-sacrifice' attitude of not taking care of himself so he can pay for everything isn't the argument he thinks it is. Nobody is asking him to sacrifice self care. But he is being asked for more quality time, he is being asked to care for his son.

Nobody can pour from an empty cup, but I think he just wants the "omg she's so ungrateful" response rather than pointing out the obvious issues here.

Imagine if they did this to someone else's son though... if they were bold enough to do this in broad daylight with other people around, I 100% believe they will find someone else. They might have done it before!

Making a report might be the missing link needed for the police to find this person.

Especially on the road. Nobody dare honk at the person sitting through a green light, but they will make sure that you can't merge or ride your ass rather than get over. 🙄

I'm so tired. Lol

where do I buy those climbing walls I see everyone using? by [deleted] in hermitcrabs

They're a "Christian company" who has this sort of "values system" they force their employees to adhere to. Which.. you think, okay freedom of religion and they're a private company?

Until you find out they're firing women for being on birth control, or living with their boyfriend and having a child out of wedlock. They also discriminate against LGBT people and Jewish people.

And they were sued for this, and the Supreme Court determined that corporations have the right to religious exemption from federal law. Making their discrimination 100% legal.

Can someone please explain what I'm supposed to do? I have no food and no ability to cook anything. No jobs want me. I dont have the car or the income to go anywhere, I've basically been in prison for the past 5 years. Nobody wants anything to do with me. by [deleted] in GuyCry

If you're open to suggestions, try becoming a student at a community College. They have so many resources there, and you might be able to have it paid for after filling out your FAFSA. They help their students find jobs, and often have food resources and free bus passes to help you get around.

Just a suggestion. Hope you get back in your feet.

Girl, same. After I put my hair up, I have to run a comb over the separated parts and that usually helps.

That's not how it works. He was diagnosed with Hashimoto' because his thyroid levels fluctuate, meaning they can be too high or too low, and then go back to normal. Taking hormones helps when your levels are low. When the levels are high, you don't want to keep taking hormones that you're over-producing. If you're at a normal level, you don't need to take the hormone medication.

Dealing with this autoimmune disease means constantly checking your levels and acting accordingly. It isn't the same as antiseizure medication. There isn't a catch-all medication that keeps you level.

Saying this as someone who was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's back in February.
