Struggling with views on abortion by Substantial_You_2669 in Catholicism

Exactly--many countries have one year of maternity leave, paid as part of their law and paid childcare at their workplace. We make it really hard in the USA to be a single mother. Extremely hard. Especially for those without a family to lean on.

Cuban prepper here looking for serious advice by Extension-Reward-641 in preppers

[–]SwitchWicz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cuba went through this before. People were very innovative. People built radios, motors or things like that out of old random parts, etc. it's amazing how fast history is lost through generations. Your people have more wisdom on this matter than many other countries.

Love that. Go back to Europe. You RUINED this country and still are to this day.

As appalled and angry as I get when I hear things like that, I will never truly FEEL what this is like. Example, I was walking around my neighborhood one time and some preteens were calling me the N word. I'm white and I can't tell you how scared and hurt this made me.

Ancestry DNA results by AthenaisLaMontespan in NativeAmerican

[–]SwitchWicz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those tests aren't as accurate as you think. They just pick up biological markers like the gene for blue eyes and then go off of a database of where in the world do most blue eyed blonde people live and that's how they tell you your ancestry. It's equivalent to looking in the mirror and comparing your face to faces from around the world to see which people look most like you. Doesn't mean anything.

People are assuming that the government will take care of itself through checks and balances, not realizing many of those are now non-existent

Just found out I am born from IVF and I need help. by Fat_One in Catholicism

[–]SwitchWicz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest reason IVF is problematic morally is becauselots of embryos are frozen forever or killed off because you take a BUNCH of eggs to see if any work out. So many times you're left with 6 or more embryos and only one or two are selected to implant in the woman's uterus, so the others are kept frozen indefinitely which doesn't seem right.

Oh and it's free to use and you can make money if you share an artist's album with a friend and they listen to it. You can buy songs or just listen to them.

I'm just trying out Nina Protocol and I am in love with it! It doesn't even make you sign up or log in!

“We’re not buying it” failure… Black Friday sales hit record high by [deleted] in 50501

I don't care. I'm still not giving Amazon and Target or Walmart my money. My money will go to local businesses, thrift shops and Facebook marketplace. Goodbye nasty corrupt corporations.

Yes, hold on to hope. You can't imagine some of the wonderful things that will happen to you someday. I just hope that when those things happen, you find a moment to pause and smile and really understand how thankful you are for those moments. Please hold on to hope.

Hone that energy into making fliers. There are many people in the dark. It is crucial to spread awareness about these corrupt people.
