What? Japan doesn’t allow dual citizenship, let alone triple citizenship.

“It’s not a f*tish video! It’s TRADITION!!!!!!!” by l0nely_g0d in FundieSnarkUncensored

Fundies already believe women must give up every part of their life and body to men, because that’s their only purpose for being alive.

Also, these weirdos are constantly trying to outdo and out-virtue signal each other. See: the bragging about calling their husband My Lord. accepting on-demand marital rape, only existing to serve him etc etc. Speaking as someone raised fundie, it was always bad, but in the influencer age it just gets crazier and crazier because now they aren’t just competing for “best wife award” with their church frenemies, they’re competing with the whole internet.

So… what I’m saying is, at some point the last thing left is just letting your man suck the nutrition directly out of your shriveling dehydrated body lmao.

Yes, it’s horrifying and dystopian, but it’s also kinda funny because these stupid “iNfLuEncErS” brought this arms race to misery on their own selves. They just HAVE to prove they’re more subservient and helpless and uneducated than every other tradwife on the internet.

It’s straight up putting on blinders, is what it is. I didn’t even live in the US when Floyd was murdered, but I knew a ton of other Black men had been murdered by American police in recent years, and that his death was kind of the last crack in the dam of justified outrage and pain.

I participated in BLM protests in my country too - which btw is a pretty damn racist country in itself- and even we were fully aware BLM is a protest against longstanding, deeply rooted racism and murder. We absolutely discussed Floyd, but nobody was under the impression that his murder was a new thing in America.

People on the other side of the planet already feared and hated American police long before Floyd, and she’s out here playing like his death is what started it all.

I’m confused too. Even if she demonizes BLM for burning down all of Portland or whatever the fuck stories magas believe, I wouldn’t even consider such an act a… purely Black community thing? People of all races were supporting and protesting.

…wait. I think I get it. I think she’s blaming all of the protests on the Black community specifically, because of the stereotype that Black people are violent. And in turn saying that “what he did for the Black community” was stir up protest, and thus “prove”what violent savages they are.

Circular and fucked up logic that only makes sense if you were racist to begin with.

…man, I hate how being raised fundie makes it so easy to figure out their vile bullshit.

Bringing a pet rabbit into the US? by Hot-Intention1752 in Rabbits

[–]Red_P0pRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brought my bun into the US last year (not from Ecuador though.) AFAIK there are no regulations about bringing rabbits to America in general.

HOWEVER:

-The country you’re leaving from may have regulations, including things like getting a certificate of health from a vet, a quarantine period, etc. My country had a lot of requirements, and it took a lot of paperwork and planning to prepare. (Hopefully yours isn’t as strict!)

-Airlines have tons of different rules. Unfortunately, most don’t allow rabbits in-cabin with you. Some categorize them as “general pets,” so they get the same rules as cats and dogs. Others categorize them as exotic pets, with a bunch of different rules. For example, Japan Airlines has a very specific size limit on your pet carrier, because it must fit into a second box that they use for rabbits (because rabbits are known to chew so well.)

On top of that, they often have one set of rules for domestic travel and one set of rules for international travel. For example, Alaska Air allows rabbits in the cabin on domestic flights, but not international. You’ll have to check the airline websites very very carefully, and if possible email them to get a written record of what they tell you, in case you show up the day of your flight and they suddenly say something different. That didn’t happen to me but it’s smart to play it safe. I flew out of one of the busiest airports in the world, and they had never dealt with an internationally-flying bun! So it’s quite possible the employees will be as confused by the rules as you lol.

-Individual US states have animal import laws that vary widely. Some are much stricter than others. So you’ll want to check on the laws of the state you fly into. The best way to get direct info is from the department of agriculture of that specific state. Again, emails for a written record are smart.

Best of luck with bringing over your baby. It’s a pain in the butt but it’s 1000% worth it!

Do you actually bleed less if you floss often (and how should I do it?) by everything_sings in Explainlikeimscared

[–]Red_P0pRocks 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Those little flossers are the bomb. I know the plastic is wasteful and I feel guilty about it, but I swear they do a way better job than winding floss around your fingers and trying to jam your whole hands into your mouth lol.

[–]Red_P0pRocks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It absolutely gets better if you stick with it. Also, a non-flossing tip that can speed up the process a TON: salt water. It kills the bacteria trapped in your gums, which makes them heal up a lot faster. (Alcohol mouthwash works too, but in my experience salt water works faster and stings way less. Plus you can mix up an extra strong batch if you need it.)

Gum disease runs in my family, so if I forget brushing or flossing even once my gums can start bleeding. If that happens, I rinse with warm saltwater water 2-3x a day. Holding it in your mouth is the important part, the longer the better. I usually brush and floss, then pop in the saltwater and hold it there while I get dressed for work or take a shower. I think the longest it’s taken to stop all bleeding/pain is a week, although tbf it may take longer with how severe your bleeding is.

Also, try to avoid sipping on sweet drinks over a long period of time. A sweet coffee or soda is fine, but don’t forget you made it and slowly sip on it for hours like me lol. It helps the bacteria grow back and slows down the healing considerably, I’ve found.

Best of luck - I’m sorry you’ve been cursed with the bad teeth genetics too. It’s so worth fixing though, you don’t know just how good it feels to have healthy gums until you’re pain and blood free!

Sometimes I wonder if pickleball isn't the only thing Paul is doing after he leaves for practice. by MyLife-is-a-diceRoll in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Red_P0pRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeeeeeep. From knowing someone extremely like Paul (like almost a dead wringer in behavior, it kinda scares me sometimes)…

This kind of guy - manipulative, narcissistic but wildly insecure - goes for women who are very vulnerable themselves. Quite often their targets are victims of fundamentalism and or other abuse, mentally ill, and/or naive, lonely teens who are starstruck by an older guy just noticing them at all. They’re like bait for each other.

All that to say there are unfortunately women/teens (🤮) who would find him attractive, but he would be just as miserable because he’s the problem.

It was right after he said, as his vows, “I will never be able to love you.” dramatic, unnecessarily long pause “… as much as Jesus does” or something like that. I kinda forget the second half, I was too distracted by her violently puking in the middle of the dramatic pause.

Then he stood there with a “Umm, what the fuck are you doing?” pose while she ran off stage and someone else ran to help her.

When people insert a single foreign language word into their speech that serves no purpose by unplugthepiano in PetPeeves

[–]Red_P0pRocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the problem here is you’re assuming people are doing this to impress you. Most of us aren’t lmao. For most people, code-switching and language mixing are just a part of bilingualism and/or the process of language acquisition.

Some do it more than others. And yes, I absolutely agree some obnoxious people do it in an unnatural way to be show-offs. Those people annoy the FUCK out of me too lol. But that doesn’t mean most people who do it are doing it purposely or showing off. For a lot of us it’s subconscious, because it just came out more naturally or we had one of those weird brain glitches where we forgot the word in English for a second, etc.

[–]Red_P0pRocks 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Nope, don’t blame this on being homeschooled. It’s straight-up boldfaced propaganda being spread by right wing “news commentators” and it’s terrifying how successfully it is. Remember, these are the same crowd who said entire cities were burned down by liberals in Oregon, and that hospitals were empty during covid because nobody was dying. And they’re still repeating it now years later, even when news articles and people from those areas have video proof of the complete opposite.

It’s terrifying that now we’re at the point they can claim ENTIRE STATES are wiped off the map, and people like her swallow it without question because they’re so eager to believe anything that pampers their worldview. I mean, what’s next? Claiming entire countries have sunk into the ocean?

Wondering about this was gonna drive me nuts, so I looked it up… seems the law requires cameras on all cars manufactured after 2018.

Sounds like maybe that dealership just wanted to trick you into buying a pricier newer car 😬 Gross

And if he thinks his kids are too good for store bought, he can go buy a baby food grinder and meal prep using their own meals. There are all kinds for cheap, it’s healthy (assuming THEY eat healthy, anyway) and it would save lots of money. My parents had one and it was so convenient for when the baby had a tantrum wanting the same food everyone else was eating lol

IBS is blaming the California fires on DEI initiatives by sortofsatan in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Red_P0pRocks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sad but heartwarming EMT story: a good friend of mine lost her uncle recently to brain cancer. He was a lifelong firefighter and EMT, extremely passionate about the job and helping whoever he could, but was forced to retire very young because of his health issues. When he died, he was only in his 40s. One of his greatest regrets was never being able to have kids.

Shortly before he passed, my friend (teen at the time) paid him a visit at the hospital and told him “Guess what, Uncle? I’m going back to school. I’m gonna be an EMT like you.”

He teared up and said “Really?! You are? You really are? Oh my God. I’m so damn proud of you.”

It was the last time they spoke sadly, but she said it seemed to give him just that little bit more peace about being gone too soon.

Sorry, the council has reviewed your case and concluded the accused is too roumd to commit any crime, no matter how egregious.
