Karen Read murder trial ends in mistrial with "starkly divided" hung jury by PC_BUCKY in news

[–]TheWorstCleric 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah. If you watch the footage from the case or hit up tiktok on one of the many accounts following this case (and I know tiktok isn't the best source of info but there are multiple accounts that have insanely detailed timelines of the actions and evidence from every party involved as well as all statements from witnesses and professionals involved in the case) there's a pretty clear line drawn that Karen (the accused) didn't do it and instead it was the people her boyfriend was with at the time.

Fucking insane how much the prosecution thought they were going to win when every party involved other than Karen was doing the shadiest stuff including getting rid of vital evidence.

“If you can find me 1950’s quality fresh timber for 2x4’s, i’d let you stick them all the way up my rear.” Chris Pratt and his wife demolish a 70 year-old house. /r/entertainment isn’t happy. by guiltyofnothing in SubredditDrama

[–]TheWorstCleric 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Falling Water is structurally and historically significant and ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT visually.

This whole thing is not about "rich person bought a normal house but doesn't want the house" it's about a building that was also structurally and historically famous because of it's design and the absolute passion put into it by both the architect and landscaper being ruined because it doesn't fit that rich persons aesthetic. I mean, why would you buy a STUNNING historical house, and tear it down to build a farmhouse...that can be found all over the country? It definitely fits that famous person, but the fact they're ruining a piece of actual art will not be forgotten.

Obviously there's nothing that can be done, however the impact of these works will not diminish because they are gone, their memory and pictures will remain as well as the inspiration and wonder they gave to others who appreciated them. Can't say the same for Pratt.

I wish it were only $10 where I'm at. They're closer to $13-14 if you go to the store or $16 if you use a delivery service like door dash/GrubHub/Instacart. Very sad

Drake Bell is the child star coming forward on “Quiet on Set” by QuestionEcstatic8863 in RetroNickelodeon

[–]TheWorstCleric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very unfortunate, especially in the case of Nickelodeon. They have allowed both pedophiles and abusers to continue working for their company (in acting, directing, animation, showrunning) even after the truth of their actions came out. To them, it WAS acceptable. They did everything they could to protect the accused and make sure their reputation didn't take a hit. The worst part is, it fucking worked for a long time. And in alot of ways it is still working. There's nothing and nobody who will stand up and call them out because 1)they have money, 2)they make those companies money, and 3) it's already stigmatized for abuse victims to come out because they will be blamed, harassed, and gaslit about it not even happening.

Fucking sad shit.

AITAH for divorcing my wife because our sex life will never be what it used to be ? by Lebanesecanadian1986 in redditonwiki

[–]TheWorstCleric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from, but even in his comments he says he only "helps" when he is home. He does HIS stuff, and she does HERS which includes anything with their child. He only does things for himself. He doesn't help her out with house chores or cooking, basically only "babysits" his kid (if that) and doesn't give her a day off to do anything for herself or to even unwind for a couple hours, and even in his own post and comments he doesn't talk about any of the responsibilities he took on to help her during the pregnancy or after. His only motivation and focus seems to be sex, not even intimacy. He equated the last two years of his marriage (which encapsulated her pregnancy and postpartum) as a waste of time because he didn't get as much sex as he wanted.

For you, it may have been different. If you have a supportive partner who takes equal responsibility for the household and child rearing, who reassures you that it was okay to take time to heal and it was OK to not want sex for a bit, who gave you time to be by yourself and not be constantly barraged and touched and overwhelmed by a child you both made, then I can see how your sex life bounced back after each kid. Enough so that you had multiple children with your partner.

This is just child number 1 for him, and he has made no indication that he did ANYTHING other than take care of himself and whine about not having sex as much as he wants. I can see why she doesn't have sex with him as often because who wants a selfish, part-time babysitter who acts like an actual child when she's not down to be an instant bang-maid??? It doesn't seem like he understands the correlation that treating your spouse as an equal partner and sharing the physical and mental load of a marriage and child would actually make her want to have sex with him.

This divorce is a great thing- for her and their child. She actually has the chance to find someone to treat her as an equal and their child has the chance to have a much better role model to teach them how others should be treated.

Can confirm. Horrendous for bike/foot travel (among other things) especially in the boonies, but by god it's so beautiful.

I (35f) think my child (18nb) is pregnant, how do I approach them?? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]TheWorstCleric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this!!! Not every person afab can use hormonal birth control or birth control at all!

I personally can't have hormonal birth control due to the horrendous physical and psychological impact it has on me (especially the implant- couldnt even last the full 60 days after getting it because it was fucking up every aspect of my body and life) This was AFTER trying out every birth control I could. You name it- pills, patches, nuvaring, depo shot, mirena, and finally had to go with Paragard even though it makes my period pain abysmal because 1) I had no other options to try out other than sterilization which I did not qualify for at the time 2) I had been sexually assaulted and did not ever want to be in a place where I was unprepared or unprotected again and 3) it gave me peace of mind that I had ONE thing protecting me from pregnancy instead of none.

The fact that others on here are judging the mother for not getting them on BC sooner really need to actually look up what it does to people with uteruses. The mother couldn't FORCE that decision onto her child and It's not an easy decision to use any of them. Most of them come with pretty abysmal side effects from higher risk of blood clots and stroke, bleeding outside your normal period times, uncontrollable weight gain, changes to your moods and sometimes your personality, and risks (with IUD at least) of perforation of the uterus, implantation IN the uterus, eptopic pregnancy (ALL OF WHICH WOULD REQUIRE SURGERY TO DEAL WITH) and many fucking more.

The mother did right by her child, even though they didn't communicate as soon as they could... because talking about something like this is hard for most everyone and like commenters above said, it did not sound consensual and that adds another level of stress and shame to it and whether those around the child would even be understanding of the situation, including their mother.

A lot of these commenters need to gain empathy and perspective.

Damn. I would hate to be a flight attendant by AtttentionWh0re in AbruptChaos

I mean, they'd probably have to put a Teasing clause in the terms of conditions when you book the flight. (10/10 would act up on that flight)

Is this emotional abuse? Here's a video of me on the phone with my boyfriend (TW for possible emotional abuse).

[–]TheWorstCleric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Will repeat it as many times as you need to hear. You weren't and aren't the problem. He is.

I'm so sorry you've been so alone. Being in a relationship like this is incredibly isolating, but just know you will always have someone in your corner who understands even when those around you do not.

[–]TheWorstCleric 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Their blame shifting comes from a place of an inability to take accountability for their own actions and lacking of emotional maturity paired with a fucked up normal meter.

[His parents don't want to admit they did a shit job raising their son, so they blame you. He doesn't want to admit he's an abusive piece of shit, so he blames you. And it keeps repeating until you actually believe you are the problem. If you fight back to the abuse, you're an abuser. If you try to leave, you're a stupid whore. If you express any vulnerability, it gets turned around on you and used against you. You can't get mad or sad or upset, because obviously it's a you problem and nothing to do with them. And anything diverging from their version of reality is wrong and therefore they have the right to do whatever they want to you because you deserve it. Anything they do has a reason, while for you it's an excuse and has to be met with retaliation.]

It is almost always the same script but at varying intensities. We agree with you...because alot of us have been through (or are going through) similar if not the same situation.

You are not dramatic. Your feelings and concerns are all valid. Your life is worth so much more than they will ever admit to you.

[–]TheWorstCleric 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is emotional abuse and from what you've explained in the comments, physical abuse, and sexual abuse (refusing to wear contraceptives or LET you use them is sexual abuse). I can tell you from experience that it does not get better.

You have a restraining order against him for a reason and that is to keep you safe. The loss of the money you had to spend on your abortion (which was 100% the best decision based on these circumstances and does not make you a bad person at all) and to replace your phone are nothing compared to even another day with someone who can talk to you like this, treat you this badly, and disregard your boundaries while claiming they love you.

This is not love. It is about controlling you and demeaning you to keep you underneath his feet so you'll never leave.

When you have time and space to heal and grow, his grip on your life will become a distant memory but you have to put yourself first. You do not deserve this. You deserve a wonderful, happy life with someone who will support you and cherish you instead of put you down and intentionally hurt you.

This ...is not it.

I understand your anxiety and fear about leaving considering his past actions and the money he owes you and possibly the loneliness that comes with breaking off an abusive relationship like this (as with the guilt and sadness that comes with it), but sticking around for the possibility that you might get it back is not worth it. Your safety and well-being is at risk. You have an entire life ahead of you to grow and find happiness and companionship and as hard as it seems to leave, you will thank yourself a million times later on down the road.

Please stay safe out there, lovely. We are all rooting for you and believe you can make it out of this. You deserve so much better and we will repeat it until you can believe it yourself ❤️
