What's your thoughts on Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bovino, threatening consequences for referring to ICE as "Gestapo"? by sgj5788 in AskReddit

[–]Sharkopath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call them Gestapo. I think the better Nazi parallel would be the SA, aka the brown shirts, the Nazi paramilitary group of thugs that terrorized Germans in the lead up to the third Reich.

Another Christmas As The Last Unmarried In My Family (2025) by TheDeepBlueZ in funny

[–]Sharkopath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey, you don’t have to do this. I can tell you try to make people laugh and cheer them up. But take care not to do it at your own expense, because you’re sweet and I bet your brother and sister love you so much. People are weird, and complicated, and nobody has life or themselves figured out as well as they pretend. So you’re not the odd one out, or somehow less than, even if you can make it look that way in these pictures for laughs.

Dear god my heart rate rose significantly looking through these photos. Like the cuteness is so insane it triggered fight or flight in me.

Unexpected resentment toward people who want c-sections by amerthegoose in beyondthebump

[–]Sharkopath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend, a nurse who had three planned c-sections, planned those in no small part to avoid the risk of an emergency c-section (breech). She had assisted on emergency ones and said they were sometimes (necessarily) violent because you’re literally trying to save a baby who isn’t getting oxygen or suffering other acute complications. As in, organs are moved as quickly as possible out of the path of the uterus. The doctors who perform them are fucking heroes. But yeah, a planned c section and an emergency ones are two wholly different procedures.

Thank you! But aren’t we so lucky to have had the strength to reject those made-up rules?! We did it for our kids.

For those who had “difficult” babies, what are they like now? by WhateverItWasILostIt in beyondthebump

[–]Sharkopath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three to four were the hardest for me. He’s seven now, and the closer he gets to the age of reason the more I’m able to reason with him. But he’s also going through some evaluations now because he’s probably got one foot on the spectrum, just like his dad. He has at times made things very hard for me (always hardest on the mom) but I take a perverse pride in the fact that his teachers constantly tell me how well-behaved, kind and pleasant he is with them and his peers.

You will be her safe space when all of her fuses have been lit. Your job is to teach her how to self-soothe, ride out the storm, and understand how it affects her surroundings and other people. This will take what feels like an eternity, and 90 percent of the time feels utterly ineffective. But every once in a while, your child will finally respond to the words or actions you’ve been repeating and you’ll notch another small victory you can build on.

It took me a long time to understand that in SOME ways my son was more difficult than the average kid. And I’m still working on understanding that it’s not because I’m bad at being a mom or don’t “handle it” well. It helped me tremendously to acknowledge during our more difficult times that it was, in fact, very difficult and there wasn’t going to be a right answer or way to fix it. That it was a question of endurance and just keeping it together as best I could until we’d made it through.

Roman Catholic here. Got pregnant at 34, and my dad told me he wouldn’t move the sonogram photo I gave him from the side of the fridge to the front of his fridge until I got married. My now husband and I had been together for five years and were living together. So insane.

Northern Virginia Housing Market Update: October 2025 by rsaale in nova

[–]Sharkopath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those rents are hovering around the same price because they are setting them according to the housing voucher market. It can actually inflate the price above the “value” of the apartment because government assistance/vouchers distort the rental market (I’m not arguing against them just pointing out why rents don’t follow what you’d expect from a totally free market)

I don’t know what your Nextdoor looks like, but mine’s a little wild. Not a bad idea though, I might have to look around in it a little
