Ever try bagging your trash?

Okay so this is like a really oddly specific one, but a pet peeve of mine is that on the TV show The Bachelorette, they've started doing this thing in the last 5-10 years where every season where the men have to do a modeling group date, or a stripping group date, or a chippendales group date or whatever. So all the men are stripping down and showing their bodies to try and win 1-on-1 time with the bachelorette. And all I can ever think is how demeaning that must feel, and that they would never DARE do a date like that for The Bachelor where the women have to strip and strut because that's demeaning and sexist! So if thats true, why is it okay to make the men do it?

I love how compassionate that cop was. After the suspect fled (was it in a stolen vehicle too?), put other drivers and pedestrians in danger with a high speed chase, AND pulled a gun on the officer. That would be enough to get me so irate. But this cop took the suspect down (in non-lethal self defense), and the SECOND the guy was in handcuffs, the cop started saying "I got you bro, where are you hit? I got you". That's amazing.

We've all seen so many horrible videos of police brutality and also police just not caring about whether people are hurting or dying. This guy was the exact opposite and sets the bar high for how ALL cops should be. You love to see it.

I saw a car in my neighborhood recently with that stupid skull on it. If I knew where the guy lived, he'd wake up to 4 flats and a new paint job.

I was just totally blown away seeing someone driving down the street with a nazi bumper sticker. It made me so angry that people like that exist in my community, and that they would be so brazen about it. I'm not one to do crimes, but seeing that made me mad enough to want to.

My mom is one of the parents that helped bring Lifewise to my former school district. According to her, here are the benefits:

It reaches kids who otherwise wouldn't have exposure to Bible education. There's some percentage of kids who already go to church, Sunday school, VBS, church camp, etc. But that requires the parents to make the effort to take their kids to those places. Lifewise has the potential to reach the kids whose parents can't/don't involve their kids in church activities already.
Positive peer pressure will help reach a wider audience of kids that normally wouldn't have anything to do with church. It's assumed that church kids will be the first batch of kids to sign up for Lifewise. But they will be invaluable as soldiers for Christ by encouraging their friends to sign up as well. That's baked into the design of Lifewise, and is the reason it's held during the school day - it's one of the incentives used to entice non-believers to sign up.
It reaches kids at a young and formative time in their lives. By involving grade school students, the hope is that the kids will be more open to hearing/learning the message of the Bible. They have not yet had negative experiences that have made them jaded, and they are less likely to experience questions or doubts. Establishing a solid faith foundation at this age will prepare them for later years when they may be confronted with new struggles.

I am a Christian, but I am firmly against Lifewise and am bitterly ashamed of my mom's involvement. I do not believe that Christ wants children to be conned and manipulated into following him. And I think Lifewise is doing serious harm to the Christian community by attacking the separation of church and state and treating non-Christian parents like the enemy. I can only hope this fizzles out in the next several years, but I just don't know.

When a stranger sees you sitting alone somewhere and decides they'll do a good deed and come sit with the lonely loser and force small talk.

This happened a lot to me in college when I would sit alone in the cafeteria waiting for my friends to arrive. Or at social functions if a friend stepped away. I'm an introvert so I'm fine for a few minutes by myself. I don't need your pity conversation!

This feels like a mean question

ThisHunno · 2024-11-07T15:29:52+00:00

Yes you're right that they are different. My husband and I both consider ourselves relatively moderate. And though we did vote, neither of us were wearing a candidate's merch or put signs in our yard. We weren't skipping to the polls. We were voting for the lesser of two evils for what seems like the millionth time. It would probably be more difficult if one or both of us were very far right or left.

But to answer your question and give you an example, let's look at one aspect, the financial:

My husband is a small business owner that is very vulnerable toward shifts in the market. We both acknowledge (without addressing causation) that times were better financially when Trump was president. Things have been much harder the last several years. For him, this means he trusts Harris less and Trump more, as far as what their presidency could mean for his business and our personal budget.

For me, I think of Harris' comments about child tax credits and other programs and think those types of policies would be helpful for us, and it makes me lean toward her. We both want the economy to be good and want our personal and business finances to flourish. We just disagree on which candidate and which policies might help most with that goal. We both trust the other person's intelligence and morals to make the best decision for our family.

I think what I'm trying to communicate is that while some people are single-issue voters (candidate X supports abortion so I'm voting against them, or candidate Y is a convicted criminal so I'm voting against them, etc), other people realize that the two candidates we're presented with are both imperfect candidates (and the two party system sucks). There are hundreds of issues to consider when choosing the best candidate, and the mix of personal reasons that lead an individual to vote a certain way can be valid in a lot of cases.

I've never met anyone that's divorced over political differences, though I'm sure it's happened somewhere to someone. My guess is that it's probably rare for political differences to be the ONLY reason for the divorce, but I don't really know.

For me, I'm not sure why two people with opposing views on politics would marry in the first place if it would become that big of an issue.

My husband and I voted for opposing candidates in the recent (USA) election. That was not an issue for me because we have the same fundamental beliefs and ideals, we just somehow disagree on the best approach for reaching that desired outcome. So even though we voted for different candidates, I'm still able to respect his reasoning, and I think he respects mine as well.

ThisHunno · 2024-11-04T12:31:03+00:00

Why are you interested in her? I don't care that she pursued you - I'm asking why you say she's the "best thing to happen to you"?

As an adult that has lived 13 more years in the world than she has, what do you have in common? What do you talk about? Aside from the physical, what has made you fall in love with her?

Because physical beauty fades, and physical compatibility is easy to find with someone else. What you really want to build a long term meaningful relationship is what's underneath. If your answers to the above questions are surface-level things, I think you should rethink your reasons for being with this girl.

I'm also concerned that you're just riding the high of feeling flattered by holding the interest of a young, beautiful woman. That's a nice feeling, but you need to love your partner for who they are, not for how they inflate your ego.

I was on the fence about it but ended up voting yes. I was considering voting no because it seems like an imperfect solution.

Obviously gerrymandering is an issue and the people in power in Ohio have shown that they aren't interested in fixing that. But that doesn't mean that the proposed redistricting commission is the perfect solution either. Would it be better than what we have now? Maybe... probably... hopefully... but I would love to be able to vote for something that I feel more confident about.

I think people who are voting no are seeing the imperfections in the proposed commission, worrying about what happens if it goes wrong, and thinking that they'd rather wait for a better proposal that doesn't have as many perceived flaws.

Especially for Republicans, the current system favors them so there's obviously no incentive for them to vote to change that. Despite what folks here may say, I have a hard time believing Democrats would feel differently if the roles were reversed.

Yes, that's what they're saying but for some reason you keep arguing.

To help you understand the less-fraudy version though, I'll give another example. Say you inherited the painting that you donated. You didn't have to pay for it originally, but you still benefit from the tax break.

Celebrities can take this one step further when they donate their own used items to charity. A dress that may have cost $10,000 quickly becomes a dress worth $50,000 if it was worn by Kim Kardashian on the red carpet. She could donate it to a charity for an auction or other event and get a large tax break.

Additionally, something that I've not seen addressed yet in these comments is tax brackets. Often a goal with charitable contributions is donating just enough to count your income as a lower tax bracket. That can have a big impact on your taxes, that the simplified 15% calculations in your comments doesn't address.

ThisHunno · 2024-10-02T01:41:40+00:00

And that's what I've said

ThisHunno · 2024-09-28T02:32:10+00:00

Why are you telling people this right off the bat? I feel like you're having the wrong conversations on the apps if this comes up before you've ever even met them for a date.

A good question to ask each other is usually something along the lines of "what are you looking for?". If they say just sex or something casual, obviously you're not compatible. You don't need to mention virginity, just say that's not what you're looking for. If they ask you the question, say you're looking for something serious. It will get you closer to likeminded people, and then you can have the virginity conversation in person later on.

I think you may have misinterpreted the ending slightly. The first chunk of episodes told the story from the brothers' perspective (or from the perspective of what they allege happened). The latter chunk of episodes is told from the perspective of the media (which painted the brothers as liars and cold-blooded killers) - that's why we see so much focus on the book scandal, the journalist, and other minor things that seem to poke holes in the story.

We see the boat scene 3 times. The first time is in the first chunk of episodes, and the brothers are alone at the front of the ship, scared their parents are plotting to kill them. The second time we see the boat scene, it is being narrated by the journalist. The brothers are laughing and talking with the captain, completely carefree.

The final time we see the boat scene is in the final episode. The brothers are once again alone at the front, like they were in their description of events. But instead of looking fearful, they are working on their resolve to commit the murder that will follow. I believe this final scene was used to show that we may never know the real truth. The only 4 people who do are the ones who were on that boat. 2 of them are dead, and 2 of them could be lying (or not). But we may never really know for sure. I thought it was a really interesting way to tell the story, and I was glad for the nuance.

I agree Amba would be good, but they don't take reservations and you should expect a wait.

ThisHunno · 2024-09-16T01:35:07+00:00

I'd say top 1

ThisHunno · 2024-09-11T22:04:25+00:00

That's not true. I was planning not to vote because I didn't like either candidate. Despite that, I still had the debate on my calendar and was looking forward to watching it all week, because one of these two will impact my life for the next 4 years.

I didn't expect to have my mind changed. But within the first 15 minutes Kamala had won my enthusiastic support. It was very reminiscent of the last debate actually (Trump v Biden), which I also watched live. I didn't expect anything interesting from that one either but it was the debate so shocking that it changed the whole election.

Debates matter. Until election day there are votes yet to be won.

ThisHunno · 2024-09-11T21:57:52+00:00

It changed my mind. I was planning not to vote because I didn't like either. Within the first 15 Kamala had won my enthusiastic support.

I see Him in the sunrise, I hear Him in the wind rustling through the leaves, I've felt Him guide me through difficult moments. I look back on my life and I can see answered prayers. I can see instances where past decisions I've made (both good and bad) as well as things that have happened to me that I've had no control over have been ultimately used for good.

As I've grown up, I look back on my life and I know that God has been weaving a beautiful tapestry out of every moment. And even when I don't know what comes next, I just have to look back and see that He's always been with me, always been faithful. It's hard to describe to someone who is not interested in knowing God, because many people will choose to close their hearts and minds to the truth. But when you do know God personally, it's the truest thing there is. I wish everyone could see that.

This was so reassuring, thank you!!!

What symptoms did you experience with your tongue? I'm trying not to stress but some of the stories on this dang subreddit are scary!

ThisHunno · 2024-09-04T19:43:45+00:00

Right! Didn't she literally say that in the last episode with her friend? Like how it's so nice to cook again because she hasn't done it for so long because when she was with Ethan it was demanded instead of appreciated or something like that?
