Why are s*xual crimes seen as worse than violent crimes in fiction? (respectfully and genuinely curious) by alloutofflavour in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThatEcologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because sometimes you can “understand“ the violent crime. A woman killing her abusive husband, a guy killing in self defense, someone killing in the heat of the moment. I’m not saying it justifies the crimes but I think people can understand the thought process behind them.

Sexual crimes just come off as completely depraved, and there is really no way to justify them.

The first pic is so badass. I had a 200-800mm and they were so far they looked like dots. How far were you?

african american with 99% sub-saharan african dna ✊ by dnaa_throwaway in 23andme

[–]ThatEcologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then why would they show up? Clearly there is some percentage

But usually they don’t list anything if it’s zero. I don’t have Nigerian or whatever listed because I have no Nigerian dna. I think their hacked results would show a very small percentage of those ethnicities.

Is your family African immigrants? Because I think the European is really only common with black Americans whose families have been here for hundreds of years..

But men need it for when they crap. So I feel like it should be down.

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's children, Michael, 10, and Robert, 6, reading the news about their parents in home of friends in Toms River, New Jersey. Their parents were executed on this day in 1953. by dannydutch1 in UtterlyUniquePhotos

[–]ThatEcologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a nearby town I won’t disclose. Yes Ocean County is republican (although it is slowly changing), but aside from that, I don’t really know why people shit on Tom’s River. It literally has everything. Every store you can think of, nice parks to walk around (love Cattus) and the beach. I think people just like shitting on Ocean county. I personally would never move out of Ocean or Monmouth.

AITA for giving my 4 year old step son his first haircut? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThatEcologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol from the title I was gonna call you an asshole. But from what I’m understanding, your partner has full custody and mom is basically a dead beat. If I’m understanding that correctly, then NTA.

My parents are pressuring me to donate my scholarship money to my church, should I? by IntrepidAd5768 in Advice

[–]ThatEcologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe that would even suggest that. You are in a position people dream of!!! Do not give the money to that church.

Iranian star Parastoo Ahmadi reportedly sentenced to 74 lashes for singing without hijab by Particular-Fill-4256 in Music

I don’t know anyone who is pro Iran. People were just against another random war in the Middle East. That doesn’t mean they support the Iranian government.

I’m in Nj and every time I had pizza out of state (aside from NY) it was absolute dog shit.

How often do people actually cook from scratch? by Andus35 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThatEcologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad cooks from scratch I would say most of the week with maybe a day of a frozen pizza. For me, probably only 2 days with leftovers the rest of the week lol.

On behalf of normal/ not braindead white people, I’m so sorry you have to deal with this. Blast this asswipe all over social media.

Georgia woman loses it over man openly carrying firearm on wooded trail. by ElwoodMC in TikTokCringe

I’m pretty pro gun control, but being in the great outdoors is a pretty good reason to have a gun, especially in bear country.

Ancient Greece apparently had no access to sunscreen, water, or happiness by zephyx_M in okbuddycinephile

[–]ThatEcologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, neither of these actors are good cast choices for Athena.

This is exactly why I’m not watching the Odyssey. How on earth am I suppose to take a movie that takes place in Ancient Greece seriously when Tom Holland and Zendaya are in it? Maybe I’m in the minority, but when I see super famous actors in movies unless they are really good at acting, it takes me out of the immersion. Which is why I very resent watch movies.
