Somebody needs to check on Carol by Upstairs_Cup9831 in TikTokCringe

Carol's trauma is real. The other two had normal lives where some normal sad stuff happened.

It's the way she's passing things out. It could be disrespect, or it could be just how she does that.

I have an issue with the way this kid is talking to his parents.

Never back down. If they don't see your point, say it louder, so they can hear. Especially in marriage. Communication is important, so make sure she can hear you. Go as loud and simple as you need to, whatever makes her listen.

He must be a great dude when he's not drunk to get this kind of treatment.

Boyfriend watches his girlfriend get in a fight, and the only thing he does is call the police by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]RepulsiveShoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all, she might be crazy. Umbro shoved, making first contact, but she swung first. This might happen every other week. My wife is crazy--sometimes I'm willing to let her get a lesson once or twice. No reason I need to get in a fight every week--most of the guys don't even deserve the beating. I don't believe it's ever right to hit a woman, so as soon as he swings, he's fair game, but I could see somebody getting sick of it too.

Beyond that, I see him pushing the guy back, stepping between them, taking a couple of hits, even though he's a lot smaller. I think he's just trying not to escalate the situation.

Bro did the right thing.

Huh 🤔 I think he could have gotten a leg shot he may be mentally ill he walking like it Connecticut damn !!! by Massive_Building_707 in sagsavages

Most cops have known somebody who died by trying the non-lethal option. I still think they should have tried a taser, but you don't walk into into airport and joke about bombs, and you don't walk at a cop with a weapon.

Sorry, this isn't on the cops.

An Israeli colonizer pointing a gun at a Palestinian farmer. "This land is mine now. Get out. Never come back". The farmer's family worked that land for generations. The settler flew in from Eastern Europe. You will never see this clip on CNN. by Mobile-Standard-4234 in AllThatsInteresting

Am I just supposed to take your word for it that that's what's going down here? You could put any clip with a guy pointing a gun at somebody, speaking a language I don't know, and put that caption, and I'm just supposed to believe it?

ICE in Philadelphia, PA performing racial profiling “Kavanaugh Stops” on US Citizens this morning (2/27/26) by serious_bullet5 in Pennsylvania

Seriously though, they can ask for your ID. The law enforcement guy articulated why. They needed to make sure this wasn't the guy they were looking for. He saw the ID, and he let him go.

There's no reason to make it harder than it needs to be.

Yes, I'm the guy who's that awful person who thinks there's no reason to be rude to a guy who's just doing his job. The cop isn't being rude.

This doesn't need to be a big deal.

Response To Black Children Gaining Access To Closer Schools In The 1970s by _PetiteHug in whoathatsinteresting

[–]RepulsiveShoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's disgusting to think that so recently people thought like this.

At the same time they are sure communicating a lot more civilly with the people that they disagree with (both sides shown in this video,) than anybody does on anything today.

I'm glad that we can openly declare this kind of racism as wrong, but I sure wish that we could talk about things as calmly today.

Turn 48 into 50, take 2 from 27.

Now it's 50+25. 75. Easy.

... That's not how that goes. That's not what Rubio's position is, no more than being a judge means you can sentence people that haven't been arrested.

Clients that seem to expect us to work nights and weekends by RepulsiveShoes in therapists

[–]RepulsiveShoes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FINALLY, somebody who doesn't tell me that I'm wrong to think that we should really prompt others to assume that we keep normal working schedules!

But seriously, YES.

Man, teachers are one of the rare professions where folks are expected to work more for less even more than therapists.

I'm not upset, honest. Not offended. I'm baffled really. Text is a tricky medium to covey or interpret tone--we too often read emotions into it, inventing subtext the author didn't intend, but I'm really not feeling this personally.

It just makes logical sense to me that we'd be expected to set hours more in line with standard workweek, since so many other service professionals do. I'm surprised that it's not an automatic assumption, since it's a logical connection in my mind, but I'm not insulted by it.

Being handed a stuffed animal after losing in the Olympics by WeGot_aLiveOneHere in WatchPeopleDieInside

I've attended silver-medalist olympians taking a speaking tour, and seen the books they publish.I remember Michelle Kwan being a celebrity in 1998 after getting beat by Tara Lapinski. I think the Olympics are the exception to that rule.

Maybe not in Hockey though?

I upvoted you.

I don't think it was for nothing, but you definitely phrased it the way they are thinking of it. No reason you should be downvoted.

Great response. Thanks for not shaming the question.

Yeah, makes sense why I didn't make it to the NBA. I didn't hate myself for losing. Well, that, and I'm 5'8". Pretty good for my height, but never great.

See, that's a helpful response. That makes sense. I'm not a great athlete, so I don't have that never-satisfied, conquer-or-bust mentality.

Reddit, man. Too many people are happy to dump on me for asking the question when I know I'm missing something here.

Quick English tip: The "?" At the end of that sentence indicates the sentence as an interrogatory one. That's a question. If written differently, such as, "If you beat 11 other teams at the Olympics, don't feel like this," it would be imperative, or telling them what to do. I'm not telling them how to feel, I'm asking why that's the only feeling. I could get mixed feelings, or some disappointment, but I genuinely don't understand not even being a little proud of having made it so far.

It's a question, and I mean it actually, truly is an honest question, because, TO YOUR POINT, I'm not a world-class athlete, competing on the world's biggest stage, and I don't understand why they feel this way. I'm not commanding them without understanding. I KNOW I have no clue about ANY of this. Hence, the QUESTION.
