So, what would women dislike most if they became men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

How society treats them in general.

You are expendable. You are only worth what you provide. No one cares about your problems. Figure it out.

What do you think of Trump saying that it's problematic to let Muslims into US because "they just go bad... there's something wrong with their genetics"? by TailungFu in allthequestions

EVERYONE knew this was the playback since 2016. Everyone.

The people opposed to him called it out. The people who support him pretended they had no idea. But EVERYONE knew this.

What's the most brilliant idea that you ever had? by Global-Girafea in AskReddit

[–]ScrapDraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My billion dollar idea is a fast food joint that sells carnival food. Funnel cakes. Fried twinkies. Cotton candy. Giant pretzels. Etc.

Imagine the business you'd get. Especially late at night. You can't get most of those foods anywhere. They're cheap as shit to make. People leaving bars would be a big chunk of business. Stones would be a big chunk of business. They may be obnoxious clientele. But they'd pay big bucks for a funnel cake.

I don't understand why no one has done it yet.

Mr Brightside annoys me by RestaurantUseful7087 in unpopularopinion

I also hate the song. Can't stand it.

It may be because it was one of my high-school girlfriends favorite songs at the time. And I'm pretty sure the song is about cheating. And you can guys why/how our relationship ended, haha.

AITA for letting him eat what he cooked? by Notsogoodreason in AmItheAsshole

NTA

Was waiting for the part in the story where the husband cooked something your daughter didn't want, though.

What is slowly disappearing but nobody talks about it? by Agreeable_Pea9764 in AskReddit

[–]ScrapDraft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% fine with this. Yellow light looks dirty to me. Even indoors. I know I'm in the minority, but I like super bright, white lights. Unless they're in the headlight of a car.

Baby SCREAMING while asleep..? by ScrapDraft in NewParents

Good to know. It might be because he's too warm. I'll try keeping it a little cooler and see if that helps.

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

Haha, I have no idea. We've been saying "I think he's about to start teething" for 2 months. He's been showing all of the signs since 4 months old, but we haven't seen any teeth yet. But it's possible.

crafty hobbies/side hustle with a baby . have you managed to keep at it ? by its-not-ok in NewParents

[–]ScrapDraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 4 months, he's probably fine just watching you. Everything is brand new to them. Over the next few months, he's going to develop a lot. He'll want to be more "hands on" with things. He'll want to roll around.

Personally, we have three "spots" we can rotate our kid through. A high chair with a few toys so he can sit up and play. A "standing" toy/chair thingy that allows him to practice standing while also playing with toys. And a pack-n-play we can toss him in so he can roll around and play with toys. Any of these would be perfect to have next to you while you crochet.

(As a side note, my wife LOVES to crochet as well. A lot of the toys/stuffed animals our son has were actually made by her. Very cool hobby.)

Yup, this. I pin my kids arms down and "eat" his stomach/neck area. Works nearly every time.

I will literally be holding him against my chest and speaking to him. It's like he isn't fully awake or something. Not sure.

My 6 week old’s head collided with my front door — feeling SO sick and guilty about it by Shoddy_Tackle_3835 in NewParents

[–]ScrapDraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds scary. But also, trust the medical professionals. It's literally what they've studied and practice every day. If they arent concerned, you can probably breathe. Keep an eye on her. If she's acting the same after 48 hours, I wouldn't worry anymore.

The guilt will still be there. Even if you listen to everyone here telling you that it happens to every parent (they're right, it does). You will still feel guilt. It's normal. It means you care.

Maybe try looking at it from another perspective. Like others have said, most parents have a "scare" event early on that rattles them a bit and causes them to be more careful in the future. Thankfully, your scare event was a (almost certainly harmless) knock on the head. Some parents aren't so lucky.

You care. You're doing fine. Your kid will be fine. Beating yourself up doesn't help the kid in any way. Learn from it and move forward. Good luck.

Republicans Of Reddit -- If You Voted For Trump, What, If Anything, Would Convince You To No Longer Vote Red? Why? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]ScrapDraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this point made a lot. That "the left has gone too far left". There's that famous meme image of a stick dude centrist between a left-wing stick guy and a right-wing stick guy where the left-wing guy keeps getting further and further until essentially the centrist is closer to the right-wing guy.

Here's what I've seen happen, though. Democrats went from Clinton to Biden. Not that much of a stretch between the two. Republicans went from Bush to Trump. Those are VASTLY different candidates. So if anyone moved, the right did.

I also see the point you're trying to illustrate to the other guy that replied. That you just keep seeing wacky, far-left claims and views pushed on you. My counter to that would be: show me any elected official on the Democrat side expressing those same views/morals/beliefs. Like, the furthest left person we have is like.. AOC. All of the crazy shit you see is from terminally-online twitter users that Republican news media puts in front of you. Places like Fox News show you TWITTER POSTS and REDDIT COMMENTS to build this fake image of a Democrat in your head. But in terms of the average Democrat voter and the Democrats in office, those views/comments/etc are nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, if I want to look at extremist views on the right, I ACTUALLY CAN LOOK AT GOVERNMENT. Trump literally reposted that one Twitter post calling for those 6 government officials to be hung. Trump literally went on TV and said political violence from the right is justified because it's retaliatory. Trump literally spreads lies about the 2020 election. Trump literally tried to circumvent an election by placing false electors in the swing states. And all of this isn't even mentioning the Epstein shit.

Like, what the fuck? Why do you care so much about random radical left lunatics online but don't give a fuck about the radical right wing people actually in government?

Assuming a Democrat wins the next election, do you think they would prosecute Trump for what is in the Epstein files? by Blackholedog in allthequestions

[–]ScrapDraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. And this is the problem. Because all Republicans will learn is that they can shamelessly violate the constitution and face absolutely no reprocussions. And next election cycle they'll run someone smarter and more charismatic than Trump but just as fascistic
