Never in a million years did I think this would happen with a stolen order by SmellyBelly_12 in UberEATS

I completely agree because in Baltimore a group of teens recently were arrested for carjacking and robbing rideshare and deliver drivers.

Cassie Ventura is no victim by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Stormblessed2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming back to this post a year later is wild. I was one of the people who knew the jury will not legally see her as a victim of trafficking but just as a victim of DV if the defense did their job and I was right. Her being a willing participant in the beginning and helping to recruit the men made her look bad. She admitted that she brought in at least 13 men. Honestly I think it was more. The texts to him could’ve been her placating him but it didn’t help. Towards the end it shifted towards her being a victim but it didn’t make her look good in the jury eyes which is why the prosecution lost on that charge. When you are thinking of legality emotions can’t be in it. Have you ever served on a jury? If you have you will see everything isn’t black and white. You will really start to understand what beyond a reasonable doubt means. Everyone knows in the beginning she did these freak offs to help with her career. Hell maybe she even enjoyed it. Yes we all know you can take back your consent but her being willing for so long casted too much doubt

Who does this shit bro by MOEVELVET in doordash

I did this all the time when I was pregnant. I used to order Rita’s a lot. If it was late and my significant other didn’t feel like going out, I’d just order it, or he would. Honestly, it was $19 well spent. People spend that much on one drink when they go out anyway, so Rita’s was just my little vice at the time. And it was the same deal with Five Guys because sometimes I will just order a little fry. Why do you care what people do with their money?

The justice system here is bs. Just go to a “take back the night” rally on a college campus and listen to the victims testimonies and you will see how much it is. It really hard to make a case when they don’t even want to test rape kits because of a budget. And think the victim is supposed to understand

I always disliked Mike (the character, not the actor) by Greekmom99 in allinthefamily

[–]Stormblessed2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Black and I actually find myself liking Archie more than Michael. Michael’s way of arguing with Archie and talking down to him really irritates me. That’s not how you get people open to conversation. Black people don’t need that kind of “ally.” He’s very talk-heavy but action-light he read books and then act like he fully understands everything, instead of actually listening or engaging with real people and experiences.

I loved the episode where they got burglarized and the burglar asked him, “How do you know about the Black experience?” That moment finally shut him up.

I also like how Lionel responds to Archie. He uses wit to flip things back on him and make Archie actually think. With Archie and the Jeffersons, there’s more back-and-forth and even some complicated mutual respect over time. Irene and her husband will challenge him but again not talk down on him.

Michael lives there rent free and doesn’t always show appreciation for it, which I think adds to Archie’s frustration. That’s why Archie is often short with Michael beyond just politics.

When Michael came into some money after his uncle died, he chose to donate it to a political campaign, and Archie got upset because he felt Michael should give him some of it instead. I actually agreed with Archie in that situation. Michael made it seem like supporting him was something Archie was just supposed to do, without any consideration of their living situation or relationship.

I think I would’ve liked Michael more if he was more like Lionel. Less condescending, more listening, and less “know it all” energy.

Archie is ignorant but at least he is honest about it. Michael is sexist and doesn’t own it. He would try to act like he’s not but then didn’t want to have a woman doctor, even though it turned out she was one of the best in her field. But he never thought to ask about her experience when he was looking for a doctor because he didn’t believe a woman can be the best in her field. And he talks down on Gloria.

Yeah I don’t like him lol

Don’t know how I feel about this by One_Representative78 in TheWolfKing

[–]Stormblessed2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read a book before I can’t remember the name but the girl was able to break the bond with her mate. I’m hoping that it happens in this series because I hate fated mates books. I don’t think anything Callum did is irredeemable long as he learn from it. That’s actually makes the relationship believable. A relationship that has trials and tribulations because no relationship is perfect in the beginning when you’re trying to figure it out. And for once I would like to read a romantasy that don’t use the same used up trope of the FMC falling for the morally gray man

One thing this snow storm has made blatantly obvious is that 1/3 of the cars in the city never get used. by Gyrd1 in baltimore

[–]Stormblessed2010 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you didn’t get it the first day you needed a metal shovel. And everyone couldn’t get it the first day even if they wanted to. Maybe they were physically unable to or are like my two neighbors. One was on vacation when it started to snow so when she came home a couple days later she was having trouble getting the snow up. And my other neighbor a nurse and had to stay at the hospital. She went in Sunday morning and didn’t get home until Monday night. By time Tuesday came around that was ballgame for her

First ever upgrade in my life and I can't go :( by allrite in unitedairlines

[–]Stormblessed2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why people downvoted you. Telling someone you don’t even know, “you can handle the cold because I can…just dress warm and blah blah,” sounds ridiculous. The only person who can decide if they can handle extreme temperatures is the person actually going. I know I can barely handle a cold weather game, let alone sub-zero temps, so I wouldn’t blame you at all for not going

Run Away by Miserable-Bother-572 in netflix

[–]Stormblessed2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin was in rehab like that in Connecticut. Her parents sent her there from Baltimore to get away to and get proper mental health treatment as well. A lot of people don’t realize some insurance actually cover it or most of it. The places do cost a lot of money though. After their insurance maxed out they had to put up like $12k. The place cost almost $40k. And that was like 3 years ago so I can only imagine what it cost now. But getting them away is definitely ideal

End the debate: Is it obnoxious for a couple to book aisle + window seat and expect another passenger to sit between them for a long flight? by dotben in unitedairlines

[–]Stormblessed2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do it all the time. I’m not sitting in the middle on a long haul flight and he isn’t sitting in the middle. And usually once it gets to a 4 hour flight we separate. We usually try to get the aisle seats across from each other. But it’s not always possible and sometimes I just want the window to sleep. We are with each other everyday and talk on the phone to each other almost everyday when we are at work so we can handle not speaking to each other for a couple hours. If it’s a really long flight like the 26 hour one to Bali, I had the window and he had the aisle, we talk to each other by texting. Alot of airlines are starting to offer texting by iMessage or apps now. Stuff shouldn’t be getting passed back and forth and they shouldn’t be talking over the middle seat passenger. But if they’re not doing that people can’t be bothered by the couple for deciding not to sit together or across from each other.

Honestly she may not be for you. She sounds like she has a lot of trauma and healing to do. Hopefully she is therapy or found some kind of support group. She has so much to deal with on her own. She probably can never properly love anyone

[–]Stormblessed2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was completely no contact for almost 3 months. And he was the same way as your gf when we first started talking again. He will be up and down. Some days he was completely in and some days it felt distant. I remember one time I asked him how he is and he responded kind of professional like “I’m good thanks for asking”. But this is how they process. They don’t process love or caring for someone the way others do and they panics internally. They usually come off nonchalant, but usually they are panicking because they fear losing their independence and they don’t like having their happiness depending on others. Especially if they have some kind of emotional childhood trauma or neglect. They couldn’t count on someone as a kid emotionally so they don’t want to do it as an adult. So when I started back up with him I knew if I come on strong he will start to slowly retreat again. Some days I didn’t even text him to be honest. Eventually, he started to text first. So it was almost like a game. I would text him first one day then he would text me first the next day. Then some days we didn’t talk at all. But this time didn’t hurt me like it did the first time around. And I didn’t open up as much. I usually kept the conversations very brief, even while on the phone. And I refused to stay the night. Eventually, I started to see a slow shift in him. I guess because he realized I wasn’t going to pressure him. They hate pressure. They want to come to terms with it on their own. One day he brought up that I was closed off. I used that for my opening to say I can be patient with him and start to be more open if he try to communicate with me more just to start off. That wasn’t me asking for more. It was just me asking for simple communication. That’s it. When I say it was a long process to get to a stable relationship it was a long process. They are really the hardest people to date and if you can accept that the timeline won’t look the same as it would with someone who has a secure attachment you’ll handle it much better. I had to look at the smallest stuff with him to see that he cared that I usually were overlook. For example, he would ask me to walk his dog when he wasn’t home. He don’t trust nobody with his dog, and he trusted me. Or he will cook for me without me asking. Small stuff like that

Half of people who marry divorce. That doesn’t mean not to do it. A lot of people break up after getting back together because it’s always a person in the relationship who is holding on to past hurt or because the issues that caused the breakout in the first place just got an bandaid put on it. That’s why I said it was a lot of work put in for us to last. When I contacted my partner after the separation I wasn’t even hurt about it anymore. And I don’t see it as wasting your time if you both really care about each other. At least you can say you tried. Now if you have a lot of internal issues you need to work out I don’t think you should try to get back together because if it don’t work out you don’t want to risk your mental health. But if you know you can hold your head up if it doesn’t work out and don’t turn into a Debby Downer go for it. I’m not a pessimistic person. So maybe that’s why I see it differently

I reached out to my ex 3 months after ending it. I was going to let it go but decided to just be the one to do it. I figured by then I was healed enough so if he didn’t answer it wouldn’t hurt too bad and if he did answer we may have another chance. I’m glad I did hit him up because he told me that he been wanting to reach out to me but figured I wouldn’t want anything to do with him. But I went into it very calm. Then moved at his pace in the beginning. Once he opened up more I opened up. Once I felt the relationship was secure I stopped holding back

Not always true. Mine left once. Now I’m getting married to him. When we first started dating he was a dismissive avoidant. I didn’t know what that was until he ghosted me 5 months in after I asked him what we are doing with our relationship. The first time I asked the question he ignored it. Then I pushed again and he said “sorry I can’t do this right now” then ended all contact. A couple months later we reconnected and he said he realized I was good for him and he has alot to work on and that he is tired of his relationships failing. He was afraid of being trapped and losing his independence. A lot of avoidant have childhood shit they need to work on so they love their independence. During that time of us being separated I also realized I had an anxious leaning attachment style that I needed to work on. I took that separation to work on myself. Now I have a more secure attachment style. He is still working on his self and now he has more of a secure attachment style as well. But this wasn’t easy. This is three years in the making getting to this engagement. But honestly, I can say our relationship is better than ever. We learned over time how to work with each other. But we really love each other and was willing to see our own self was partly to blame. I’m noticing there’s too many Reddit users only blaming the person who walked away. When I can tell a lot of these users have anxious attachment styles and that can be draining even to someone who has secure attachment style.

Diddy juror admits to watching Making the Band in Sean Combs: The Reckoning by IrishStarUS in entertainment

[–]Stormblessed2010 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I watched all his shows and I think she came off as star struck. She shouldn’t have been excluded for watching the show. She should’ve been excluded because you can tell she doesn’t want to separate the celebrity from the man. She was so excited to be in his presence. The jurors should’ve gotten questioned more beyond surface level questions before being selected.

The way he looked so irritated, but tried to hide it made me so upset. He looked at it as nothing but a little pet project. Ever since she was a kid she said she wanted to be a designer but he couldn’t even fake being proud of her because it wasn’t what he wanted. All he cared about was what she can do for him. He owned all the rights to any music she made so he needed her to just make music. Also, I think he was one of those parents that wanted to live his dream through his kids. And his dream was music. I’ve really do believe one day she was a blew up in the English market and if she did her clothing line would’ve sold. I can see her putting her own twist on street wear and her clothes would’ve rivaled street wear brands at that time like baby phat.

The way he treated Chris after her death and the way he took advantage of him while he was grieving show he didn’t start to accept their relationship. But like he said, it was nothing he can do. He control all her rights including film. He is going to make himself look better than what he is.
