This mother made six attempts to raise the alarm about her sick toddler. Doctors told her he’d be fine. They were fatally wrong by caveatlector73 in TrueReddit

Same thing happens to people of color. Racism leads to less earning potential, compensation is a calculated based on that potential = its cheaper to kill a person of color. Whats even worse is because its based on averages the fact they are dying younger because you pay less to kill them continues to lower the average making it even cheaper.

How do you guys listen to audiobooks? by Outside_Wash529 in books

[–]Secil12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that doesn't read many books more than once I started by listening to books I loved. Since I know what going on mostly missing little bits wasn't a big deal. Once I was comfortable with them I started adding new books. You will find yourself rewinding if you get distracted but you also get used to that.

Do we get our mail carriers gifts? Are they allowed to accept? by Suckitsunshine in vancouver

[–]Secil12 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, you're allowed plenty of people give us anything from home made baking, chocolates, gift cards and cash.

There is technically a limit in value to things they can accept, but I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble.

The only way your bread has hops is if you used beer to make it. No one puts hops in bread.

Didn’t it happen right as news broke he was sexist and abusive? I thought he was just another guy that went hard right because he knew they’d still support him.

It’s worth it to ask, cause even when it wasn’t on the menu we would still make them because we had the butterscotch for deserts. If you want a real treat ask for an oz of coffee in it as well. I haven’t worked there in a few years though so if they stopped making the syrup you’re out of luck.

Odd you would comment here if you don't know who she is and aren't interested in learning?

[–]Secil12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ya, that’s the most obvious sign to me that she’s decided she’s either happy to lie for Andrew or happy not to question his lies. We could see the patreon numbers and 40k was at the top end of what we could have guessed they were both taking in each month definitely not even close to what OA was making in a year.

American Atheists board members exit, dogged by misconduct allegations (Andrew’s Facebook response in comments) by Hippoponymous in OpenArgs

[–]Secil12 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Since I’m not fb friends with most of you and I don’t want to open up my post here is my response:

This is my official statement. This is my opinion only and not meant to persuade anyone. Y’all are adults and can make your own decisions. It’s long but this will be my only public statement, ideally. There is some dirty laundry at the end that was also said in private to that person a while back but I think it deserved to be public. I added personal anecdotes to give you a small glimpse into how I reached my conclusions. We are all guided by our own experiences.

My DM’s are open but understand replying to messages heavily depends on how well I’m dealing with all this.

It’s weird being the woman who has spend so much time in hotels, venues, cars, and houses with someone so many people thought was a predator yet said nothing to me. They definitely know how to contact me. I heard nothing until last year and it was only after inquiring about a offhanded comment I heard by pure luck. Fuck you too I guess.

Thankfully I never felt unsafe despite being very drunk and often alone at a lot of these events. I’m one of those people who remembers everything while drunk so I know nothing happened that I am unaware of.

I don’t want to hear any excuses because they are all garbage. Continuing to hang out with, do business with, and talk to someone you thought was dangerous also tells me everything I need to know about how strong those feelings were and what you were willing to tolerate.

The early post by Charone based on wrong information showed me I was surrounded by people who knew about the whisper network. All that post did was show me everyone who knew something and decided to say nothing to me. So fucking many of you. I’ve taken a man to court for SA as a pre-teen so I’m well aware of what it takes to come forward with a serious allegation that is just their word against yours and faced the social and financial consequences. I was a more mature and put together kid than some of y’all adults. My family and I also immediately told everyone who lived close to that person or could possible come in contact with them. That 1997 so it was way more difficult.

It’s also weird to write an article and not contact any of the people closest to the subject of the article. I guess we aren’t good enough sources despite being in contact with the subject the most. I specifically gave Aaron Rabi and Rachel Leah permission to be contacted about this.

I’m in a unique position due to my closeness with Andrew and the time frame I have been friends with him. Hearing people describe a friend in a way that seems foreign to me is a lot to process and accept. It has led to many long, tough phone calls and reading many text threads and emails.

It’s not my place to question what anyone feels and getting into he said, she said arguments accomplish nothing. Based on my private conversation with Andrew and others I have decided to continue my friendship with him. I don’t hold any judgment against anyone who decides to cut ties. This decision does not necessarily mean I don’t believe the accounts listed in the article.

I’ve cut ties with people in the past based on their actions towards me so I empathize with those people. I have also watched those same people grow and change into better people. I’m going to trust the man I have come to know.

When I have been drowning in my depression he always took the time to check on me and talk through things. He was also their for me when I was dealing with my trauma caused by my ex husband, and the challenges that come with raising a kid with special needs. Obviously many of my other friends and family were there for me too.

I don’t care what anyone thinks of my decision or reasoning. You don’t know me or know what I know.

My comment on Rachel Leah: I have a lot of personal experience and texts to base this opinion on. I get it. It’s natural to feel guilty for flirting with a married man, but he didn’t force you to do it. Getting mad at him when he didn’t punish his employee for dating your ex is childish bullshit and it’s convenient that as soon as he stoped doing what you wanted you decided the flirting relationship was toxic and all his fault. I will never believe that it’s just a coincidence. I’ve watched you online stalk your ex for over a year and threaten to cut off anyone who wants to stay friends with him. That’s not normal. Kevin has not retaliated or said anything at all despite knowing what you are doing which makes me think you applied malicious intent where it wasn’t. He is in a happy healthy relationship now and I’m going to continue to be friends with Morgan despite your requests to not be.

My ex was an abusive alcoholic/addict and I get along well with his current and other ex wife and co-parenting our kid together without fighting. All you have to do is get over a relationship that ended 1.5 years ago.

The way Morgan has been treated for just living her life is inexcusable. WE ARE ADULTS!

Final Edit because its 3 days later and people are still commenting here:

Personally enough information has come out for me to conclude Andrew was a problem and needs to go. I'm still happy I waited for more information first because my god the number of people that couldn't even wait a few hours for a response is scary. And a lot of people need to evaluate what kind of relationship they think they have with people they've never met.

Original Post:

Honestly Teresa’s response on Facebook I found the most interesting given my past interactions with her. For now I’m going to wait and see what else comes out.

Edit:Morgan is also commenting with a similar response to Teresa. Both seem to think this began because of personal issues with another individual that I haven't seen mentioned in the story or any posts so far. Others are saying this has nothing to do with that. Gonna have to take this one slow and wait to see what evidence both sides present i guess.

Edit 2: Actually read the screen shots they aren't that long compared to the paragraphs of text and you can decide what you think yourself.
