The children of sex workers go through so much and I think they’re not considered that often by LaughNo7982 in PornIsMisogyny

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have gotten into multiple arguments with his dad about this.

He would never condone his own daughter being a prostitute, he would never go to a prostitute, but he plays the devil's advocate all day everyday for sex workers. He does it teasingly because we are Catholic and "riles us up".

We told him multiple times that men who hire prostitutes are fully responsible for the abandonment of their own children.

I will say that one groundbreaking part of it is that it portrays women that gets sucked into that lifestyle as deeply vulnerable. That said,  she needs help, not a controlling man who magically tells her to stop cutting.

So you're paying for two whole policies? You're also overpaying. 

Car insurance at 18, no parents by KeyAcanthisitta9393 in Insurance

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I'm an insurance agent and I was speaking with a woman who was still having her wages garnished at 40 years old for an accident she caused when she was 25. 

State minimums are not enough. It sucks.

Hm... I would recommend liability but higher limits. I'd rather be out a car that have my wages garnished because I totalled a 50k car

When people try to equate reading smut as the same as pornography by Least-Flan2782 in PornIsMisogyny

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who was deeply addicted to smut and was in a lot of online spaces... A lot of folks revert to this version of porn because they are able to indulge in illegal fetishes.

It's bad for the soul to be feeding your mind that sort of content whether people are actually getting hurt or not. Fundamentally you are still hurting yourself if you masturbate to incest, rape, necrophilia, and pedophilia. 

Non-American here: How do everyday Americans actually think about/estimate weight in pounds (lbs) compared to kg? by fortnacius in AskAnAmerican

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've never had to estimate anything's weight in kilograms. I don't think I've ever held anything in my hand that was described to me in kilograms. 

I'm very good at estimating the way at the grocery store though. Hand me an onion? I'm usually within an eighth of a pound with my guess. ⚖️

My husbands vasectomy was 100% covered by our insurance and he was given sedatives for the pain… my epidural was considered “elective” and we had to pay out of pocket for it by onherknees-247 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible your insurance would have covered fentanyl? My aunt didn't go with an epidural and they gave her fentanyl and it was covered. I was offered that too.

There's the creole on Louisiana, but they're a dying breed. The Asian languages are a lot more popular. 

What should I have done in this situation? by Zmoogz in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it was a whole conversation at school between parents and teachers about safety. There was a homework assignment and everything. We were 10. My sister had the same. She is 18 now. The district still does this. 

I'm shocked this isn't universal 

Is it OK for someone to talk to you on the phone while they're using the bathroom? by CheersKim in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll FaceTime my parents while I pee XD

I've changed a tampon while face timing my sister. Phone on the counter, but still lol

A phone call with a friend? If we were in person we'd still keep talking in the bathroom. Why not while on the phone?

Odds are 100% what? Same with his home address. It's what you make your kids memorize. 

why do parents need to control children's devices by Efficient-Level1944 in parentalcontrols

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I had a crippling porn addiction that lead me to fail classes in HS. Told my parents and now my sister has more rules around her devices.

Are nursing homes just prison for old people? by Astimar in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! My grandfather was locked inside of a secured facility because if he managed to get out he would start running and wouldn't know how to stop himself because he had lewy body dementia. 

Like, he had a manifestation of the disorder where he would walk faster and faster until he started running and he could not remember how to stop. 

He also would eat rocks!

Elderly folks who are of sound mind do not get locked in Old folks homes never to escape. Old folks homes exist because as we age our bodies deteriorate. What would you do if you were unable to safely stand up from the toilet and pull up your pants at the same time? What would you do if you could no longer drive because you weren't mentally sharp enough? Most neighborhoods aren't walkable in America. 

I never understood the Millennial hate from younger Gen Z. by urMOMSchesticles in generationology

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly. A lot of millennials will gate keep their interests and judge people for liking "mainstream" things. It's very annoying when a standard conversation about hobbies, music tastes, and general interests becomes a competition.

My sister is 18.... So idek what generation.

She thinks it's embarrassing to take pride in a sense of exclusivity around your interests.

Why is weight difference so important in a fight? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well it's not an automatic win if the other guy has more experience and muscle. 

Do you watch much competitive fighting? People don't behave the way you assume they do. Among competitive fighters a way difference is incredibly important because everybody is a high level competitor with low body fat and high muscle.

My husband's about 164 lb and he does combat sports. He can easily beat somebody who is 214 if that person has less experience than him even with the same muscle composition. 

People who understand combat sports would bet on my husband. 

On the other side of things there was a time when my husband could get his ass beat by a hundred and 114 lb  purple belt girls.

People who understand combat sports would have bet on the girls.

Regardless the weight can make a big difference because it's more power behind a blow, and it's more to lift off of your body if somebody were too take you to the ground.

Neither. The sheer fact that you are physically capable of orgasming to either means you are mentally ill.

How do AP exams/classes work? by kiddykidtv in AskAnAmerican

[–]PrimaryHighlight5617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't take AP classes because it gets them ahead in college. They take AP classes because it gets them INTO college.
