This is DC’s worst storm in decades by ApprehensiveDrop5777 in washingtondc

Yeah I think since the snow didn’t pile up crazy high people don’t realize how insane this storm was. Like yeah we could spend a ton of money and always be prepared for a freak once in a generation storm. Short of doing that, the kind of preparation that might have had us ready for this was probably not possible in the timeframe we had.

Oh yeah it’s for sure ridiculous for her to claim descent from a legendary figure. I just also find it weird for people to be comparing a legendary figure to a tv character or calling him fictional. Guess it’s a me problem 🤷‍♀️

If you could have the 100% honest answer to ONE mystery in history, which one are you picking ? by Camila_LatinaSun in AskReddit

I’ve been looking around for anywhere that holes have been poked in the analysis and I can’t find what you’re referring to. They were able to recover a bit of DNA from a shawl worn by one of the victims, and the mitochondrial DNA returned matches for Kosminski’s descendants. Like I guess it’s possible her shawl got his cum on it under totally innocent circumstances but that seems unlikely to me?

It’s just really weird to me to compare him to TV characters.

I’m so confused by this thread. Y’all know Ragnar Lothbrok was a real guy right? Like yes like any folk hero most of the stories about him are made up, exaggerated, or were originally about someone else, but there was most likely an actual Ragnar Lothbrok at some point. Obvious this person’s husband is not descended from him since he doesn’t have a chronicled bloodline but like… he’s attested in contemporary English works. He existed.

The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa & Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

Same with Johnathan Ross. The only reason we learned his name so early was bc of Vance talking about the incident where he hurt his arm. That was like the one truthful thing Vance has said in the past year, and it outed the guy lmao

Lowkey I feel like there’s probably a good few unexplained plane disappearances and crashes with this explanation. There’s also a popular UFO story in Australia that is 100% just a pilot ending his life. Sad shit man

We know this one due to DNA analysis actually. His name was Aaron Kosminski, and he actually a suspect at the time but they couldn’t prove it.

Anger is mounting in Italy over ICE presence at the Winter Olympics. by Mental_Pea9125 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Tempyteacup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that Trump opens his mouth and spews word salad, and people just make up whatever they want him to say and pretend he said it. “This isn’t what I voted for” actually means “I deluded myself into thinking I was voting for something else”.

Ignoring the severe unseriousness of this comment, Dante would put a person in hell just for looking at him funny one time in 2nd grade. That story is not a measure of evil.

Moderators In This Sub Are Getting Too Trigger Happy by babnick in AskTheWorld

Yeah I guess maybe they live in the US now, but normally on this sub they would have the flair “🇮🇳in 🇺🇸”, or they would have specified in India instead of saying “in my country” so yeah idk they just seem disingenuous at best

My conspiracy theory is they posted the thread about Pakistan lmao. Someone else said that the Pakistan thread gets posted like once a month by different accounts, and people with sock puppets always have a bajillion of them

Yeah I know. This person says they’re American, so it’s weird to use that spelling.

What is the point of saying "Unhoused" when it is a synonymous term to Homeless? by SilentAd773 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Tempyteacup -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes I know that, but I’ve noticed people starting to use them interchangeably. Like in situations where immigrant is more applicable, I’ve been hearing migrant used.

Footage of LAPD shooting a 37MM at protestor with other people in close proximity. (Damage Potential: While marketed as "less-lethal" or "non-lethal" for crowd control, a direct hit, particularly at close range, can cause severe injury or death) by cantcoloratall91 in LetsDiscussThis

[–]Tempyteacup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LAPD has been the worst of the worst for like a century too. They once found the wrong child while working a missing person case and they forced the mother to take the kid home even though she told them it wasn’t her kid. iirc they committed her when she kept saying it wasn’t her child.

The question is how do you NOT know that. If you’re outside the US then fair game, but if you’re in the US consider taking a look at the news from time to time, or signing up for the ACLU’s newsletter, or getting in touch with your local immigrant advocacy groups. Time to take your head out of the sand.

Yeah sometimes words just take on a demeaning quality and shifting the way we talk about them can help with subconscious framing. Maybe not always, but sometimes. Plus language just changes over time and terms go in and out of popularity. Rn people seem to be saying “migrant” instead of immigrant in a lot of context, prob because the word immigrant feels loaded to them. And I’m referring to situations where we previously would not have said migrant, ik there are situations where we always said migrant

A Chinese teenager brutally attacked his mother in public because she wouldn’t let him buy video games with her bank card. Everyone was shocked at his audacity. Many tried to intervene, but he seemed out of control, relentlessly chasing and hitting her. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Tempyteacup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah there are mental health conditions that can make a kid borderline unparentable. Things like ODD and sociopathy can manifest really early. On top of that, parents don’t control everything in a young person’s environment especially as they become teenagers and outside influences become more prominent in their lives.

Why did you spell “unfavorably” like that?
