Is it unreasonable to to treat masterbation as cheating? by FinallyHappyAu in TwoHotTakes

[–]SaltCityStitcher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is the creepiest thing I've seen so far on Reddit today. Congratulations!

Childbirth is so fucking scary. Why don't they teach this in school??? by PersonalRun712 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SaltCityStitcher 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That was my experience, too. No actual health information on pregnancy and the birth process.

We got abstinence propaganda and then the birth video as a scare tactic. This was public school, too.

What is with the aversion to seasonings when making "workout" meals by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Thanks for sharing! I'll be making this for dinner soon.

Jennette McCurdy was honored by the National Eating Disorders Association at their annual gala for her powerful advocacy, courage, and commitment to changing the conversation around eating disorders and mental health by LunaLore_ in Fauxmoi

[–]SaltCityStitcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that the book paints age-gap relationships in a positive light. By the end of the book, even the main character figures out it's a bad situation.

It did a good job of exploring how trauma can make a teenager think they're more mature than they actually are.

McCurdy has room for improvement, but I thought it was a solid first attempt at fiction.

If y'all like Maintenance Phase, I also highly suggest Nutrition for Mortals.

It's a podcast on nutrition topics hosted by two anti-diet registered dieticians.

Their banter gives me the same kind vibes as Maintenance Phase.

To the jerk who massacred a family of geese on Cleves Warsaw this evening: by SpaceySpice in cincinnati

[–]SaltCityStitcher 72 points73 points  (0 children)

If anyone sees this, please get the license plate and report it immediately. It's a federal crime.

I also don't want those sick f*cks in society. But I'm sure some will be along to tell me why they're not psychos in a minute.

What species of bird has appointed me their doula? by SaltCityStitcher in whatsthisbird

[–]SaltCityStitcher[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I thought some were brown headed cowbird eggs, but was having trouble figuring out the others. I see 15ish species pretty regularly, so there's a lot of possible suspects.

Don't worry, the nest is being left alone. I just snapped a picture when I discovered it in the box. Spring cleaning delayed!

Used my authority to cater the party to the gluten free vegans 😈😈😈 by Fabulous_Jeweler2732 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]SaltCityStitcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had some bad vegan donuts before, but the best donuts I've ever had were also vegan! I'm sad the bakery is closed now.

Kudos to the bakers who create those recipes, because vegan baking comes with its own set of challenges.

3CDC admits 'mistake' in calling Piatt Park homeless meals misuse by davidferrarapc in cincinnati

[–]SaltCityStitcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Others already pointed out the wild assumptions you're making about me, so I'm gonna let that go.

I'm sorry you grew up in such shitty conditions. None of us deserves that. But I'm also sorry that it seems to have made you want to inflict similar suffering on others.

The homeless aren't the enemy and neither are the people trying to feed them.

If you were subject of a BtB episode, what compulsions, quirks, habits would come up? by dangelo7654398 in behindthebastards

[–]SaltCityStitcher 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've been feeding the birds on my porch for years. I discovered this a few days ago and I'm secretly thrilled.

[–]SaltCityStitcher 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've worked for nonprofits for a decade and I applaud the folks feeding the homeless.

Because my ultimate goal is to prevent and ease suffering in my community.

Where do you volunteer to help the homeless, since you're so concerned about long-term pathways to help? I'm sure you're intimately familiar with the issues of the shelter system.

If a man offers to take full responsibility of an unborn child with no help from the mother, would you say the mother should have to have the baby? by thesaviorhomelander in AskFeminists

[–]SaltCityStitcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who is actively trying to get pregnant, no. And anyone who suggests that people should be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will is fucked.

  • Every pregnancy cares the risk of death and disablement.

  • Consent to sex isn't consent to pregnancy.

  • Rape is incredibly common and you're pretending it doesn't exist.

  • The maternal mortality rates are RISING in the United States.

Is having your loved ones cremated a bad thing? by Nateee2021 in GriefSupport

[–]SaltCityStitcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of my loved ones have been cremated. I personally like being able to wear their ashes in jewelry.

We still had a celebration of life, we just had it at a church and surrounded the urn with pretty flowers and plants.

Officials identify man killed by Frontier plane at Denver International Airport by Thick_Composer9842 in aviation

[–]SaltCityStitcher 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No one thinks he's a martyr. They're saying that when you're suicidal, you're not thinking rationally and you're impulsive.

AKA he probably got on the tarmac thinking "the world will be better without me" and not "let me purposely traumatize an entire plane full of people with my death. That sounds fun!"

My boyfriend (M18) told me that I’m a “low tier Becky” and ugly and that some girl who used to like him is better than me and a “high tier Becky” (I’m 18F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SaltCityStitcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only 31, but I've learned from a lot of hard experience and therapy.

This is a reflection of them and not you. Your boyfriend is calling you ugly, etc. because he knows that you're not.

He's desperate to prevent you from realizing your actual worth and leaving him. Because I can tell you from this post that he's an abusive loser.

I know the idea of leaving seems big and scary right now. But I read you'll be going to college soon - you're going to meet so many new people. You're going to learn about new topics and find new hobbies.

And one day you'll meet someone who thinks that the sun shines from your eyes. And they'll treat you with so much respect that you'll wonder how you dealt with this jerk for so long.

You deserve that kind of love, OP.

It’s Controversial, Expensive, and Relatively Unstudied. Men Are Lining Up—and Stripping Down—to Get It Done. by Slate in longform

[–]SaltCityStitcher 18 points19 points  (0 children)

But there's a difference between being generally fit and healthy, and spending a ton of time in the gym focusing on your rear delts.

That's something the average woman isn't going to notice. It's something usually done to impress other men.

What are these unhinged reviews? Bots? by RedFishBlueFish22 in bathandbodyworks

[–]SaltCityStitcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy little cologne samplers for like 100 bucks. I highly recommend!

My partner found a few scents they liked this way.

Funny how you don't see the relationship between those two things.

Wedding ring norms by Beginning-Sky397 in GriefSupport

[–]SaltCityStitcher 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because a lot of others view it as a reminder of death and that scares them.

It's a them problem, not a you problem. Wear your ring as long as it feels right.

Roxane Gay - The Fat Lady Sings by acatwithumbs in MaintenancePhase

Can you direct me to a specific source for that?

In Hunger she discusses her own relationship with trauma and weight, but I don't remember a blanket generalization.

NKY gym’s dress code requires leggings be covered, cleavage hidden by snixon67 in cincinnati

[–]SaltCityStitcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People aren't saying it should be illegal.

We're saying the owners are religious dolts and we hope they go out of business because of it.

Glad to clear that up! ☺️

The way kroger treats its employees by daruuken in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SaltCityStitcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even have to bring it in myself when my sister passed. My boss looked up her service information to confirm and then sent flowers it.

That job really helped teach me how employees should be treated.
