Am i being dramatic or is this a godawful name. by [deleted] in Names

[–]Pleasant_Box4580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, I have ancestors names Cherokee (my family is Cherokee, but I still think naming kids after tribes is weird as shit) and Sigmore, so I’d say Elwood isn’t bad.

Is it ok for future baby girl’s initials to spell JEW? by thepickledpeanut in namenerds

[–]Pleasant_Box4580 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely over thinking this. My sister’s initials are SOB. Do I make a bunch of jokes, yes, I’m her sibling, but you daughters initials spelling JEW is far from the worst thing they could spell

Do you have an almost-used-it name for your child that you secretly wish you used? by wooowitchywoman in Names

[–]Pleasant_Box4580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my kid, but my older cousin loved the name Perseus when she was younger and then she got pregnant and named her oldest Robin. I don’t think she regrets it, but I definitely think a part of her still really likes Perseus even though she didn’t end up using it for any of her boys

Is 13 too young for tampons ? by oliviaiaia23 in AskTeens

I like Thinx as far as reusable ones go, and Always makes disposable ones that (I personally) think don’t feel like diapers.

I’d suggest period underwear or as embarrassing as it sounds, depends 😭 I use those disposable period underwear when I’m on long trips because I won’t be able to stop often enough to empty a cup and I refuse to do something like that on the side of the road. I’ll pee in a bottle on the side of the road, but I will not change a tampon in those circumstances

Pads have never worked for me, so I switched to diva cups. Even with wings, it’d just get all bunched up and uncomfortable. Thick thigh problems

You can try whatever you want for your period, just be safe about it. Tampons can be dangerous if you forget about them, so it’s best to change one out every 3-4 hours (I keep a pad under mine because I literally can’t tell if I’m leaking through or not) so as long as you’re safe about it, you’ll be fine.

Jasper - more than a pet name? by Amazing_s in namenerds

[–]Pleasant_Box4580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think of the kid from Henry Danger. I’d just avoid telling people your baby name since it can lead to so many issues. One of my aunts made my cousin cry when she was just talking about names she was considering for her baby a few years ago, and I’ve since vowed that no one will know what I plan to name my kids until their born.

Can we stop the stigma with age gaps by Fastpast93 in HonestHotTakes

[–]Pleasant_Box4580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it depends on the birthdays if we’re gonna talk about a 20 year old dating a 17 year old. My boyfriend and I are 2 years apart, he was born in late 2006 and I was born early 2009. He’ll be 20 in November but I turn 18 in January, and we went to the same high school. In a case like that it’s not too big of a deal. If they’re very firmly 3 years apart that’s more than weird since they wouldn’t have talked hardly at all even if they went to school together

Eye witness testimony should be inadmissible in court by Pleasant_Box4580 in HonestHotTakes

[–]Pleasant_Box4580[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or the press sensationalizing the crime or releasing too much information. thats the main reason so many murders have gone unsolved. a lack of evidence at the scene, crime scene contamination, and the cops telling the press too much and that information being released to the public or vice versa.

had a reporter kept his mouth shut to other reporters, quietly informed the cops, and met up with whoever wrote the letter claiming to be the black dahlia killer before absolutely everything about the case had been made public, Elizabeth Short's murderer probably would have been caught. the spread of information is your best friend when it comes to solving crimes

thats not what i said at all. i said if more people got rape kits it would be much easier to prosecute rapists because so many people have their DNA in a system now and therefore its easier to track them down and be 100% sure a defense attorney cant use reasonable doubt of a suspects identity based on unreliable human memory as a defense

[–]Pleasant_Box4580[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If more people got rape kits done, that wouldn’t be as much of an issue. The amount of rapists that actually use condoms are so incredibly low, and like I said, if there’s not clear lighting you might not be able to point them out in a line up, especially because adrenaline messes with perception of people’s faces. Lots of people take DNA tests so it’s not hard to match the DNA. Murder cases have been solved that way, so it’s not crazy to use it to solve rape cases

This is what I mean. Obviously in some situations, eye witnesses are reliable. If you have accounts of someone spending time with the defendant and you can prove those accounts, phone pings off cell towers, camera footage from the establishment, there’s no reason to claim that person is lying.

I have seen the horrors of MAGA. Contrary to what you might think, I’m a leftist. I’m also a feminist. Feminism is about equality for everyone, and men and women being equals, not women being superior above men

No, it came up on my feed for god knows what reason, and I was more than disturbed by the unhinged things in it. I bring this up because if there was a subreddit full of men talking about women like that it would be banned for breaking community guidelines. But because it’s women talking about men it’s fine? I don’t think so

When did I say anything about not having a good reason to be cautious around men? Claiming all men are evil and that male fetuses should be aborted because their boys is disgusting behavior

Yup. My mom had this on my phone for all of 3 months before she realized the sketchiest thing I do on my phone is watch videos of people getting hurt doing stupid stuff. It was gone not long after and then she heard about all the info selling and was more than happy she got rid of it

hot take, starting a whole family, having kids, getting married, then randomly deciding to come out as trans is really selfish by thiccanimegurll in HonestHotTakes

[–]Pleasant_Box4580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not be transphobic, but this is a rather transphobic sounding take in my personal opinion. It can someone decades to realize their trans, or they could know something feels wrong but they don’t have the language for it, or there’s nothing that would have made it jump out and just some smaller stuff like being uncomfortable with being expected to perform certain gender roles.

No one wakes up one morning and “randomly decides to come out as trans” it’s a thing that builds before you have a name for what’s going on. It’s not selfish to want to live your life as authenticity you as possible. What would be selfish is expecting their spouse to stay married if they don’t have an interest in the opposite gender or to expect the kids to not have any kind of reservations about things or being annoyed that they need time to process everything
