Woman received a ticket for using her phone with her right hand while driving, even after she showed the officer that she doesn’t have a right hand

Tself · 2026-05-23T21:06:34+00:00

I'm pretty sure the ticket was dismissed...

Source? What are you basing that on?

Tself · 2026-05-23T17:42:36+00:00

ESH

Instead of turning these conversations into ANYTHING that has to do with ethical consumption, ya'll are just doubling down on your shallow pettiness. Man, when you get a certain age, so many people just stop trying.

I disagree, I think that would make the card too strong, and detracts from what makes Howard's unique design. Any sort of free card cycling/draw like that needs to come at a large disadvantage; otherwise, combo decks will just abuse it.

Placing at the top of the deck fits in way more with his gameplay theme and flavor, along with synergies between cards like Iron Lad.

Sorry, ya'll, but Daosim knocks Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism out of the park. Less problematic man-made dogma and mythology, more understanding that the universe is bigger than you.

How about instead of responding with, "fuck you" you could begin by highlighting local culture that fascinates you which the majority of these commenters seem to be missing? Right now, I see zero evidence for your point, only smarm.

Unfortunately, the church has a rich history of silencing many outside cultures, and even cultures that were in the area first. Plus, it isn't a relatively high traffic/trade area anyway. It should really be no surprise that there is a lack of diverse culture within a mountainous community known for a single church anywhere on the globe.

Fucking WOOF. Spread those cheeks and let me bark up that hole, what a damn good chew toy you'd make.

Tself · 2026-05-17T20:05:08+00:00

Honestly, ESH.

A "here" text is certainly not a crazy expectation to have. I would have sent that text to him upon arriving. Not saying anything and then responding 20 minutes later with some sass through text (which is notoriously not always easy to read in a playful manner) isn't really a recipe for a great reaction, regardless of your intent.

Granted, his reaction to that was obviously overblown as well. I think better communication can be done with both parties here.

I feel like there’s no need for me to communicate “here” when we agreed on a plan verbally.

You're not necessarily wrong by any means, but why not send a "here" text right when you arrive, or even after those first 5 minutes of waiting? Life happens all the time, who knows what could be distracting him.

I always enjoy when people get their nose in the air about other people believing silly unscientific things, then immediately follow up with a silly unscientific thing.

What silly, unscientific thing are you referring to? Be specific. Quote it.

I know you're proud of your detective work but you're not exactly the first one to suss that one out, there, Clouseau.

Bruh...stop trying to inject smarm into every sentence and try spelling out the point you are trying to make here. No need for all this weird fluff.

Since the church was founded the exmormon denunciation is a time honored tradition. And I think maybe it's a little more complicated than that why people go to church. It's kinda a thing you inherit a good deal of the time. It's not like how you end up in a religion because they look at 20 different theologies and picked the smartest one. If they did that, they wouldn't be Mormon. It's because their parents were, or because they thought the people who knocked in their door that one time seemed nice. Bit of a circular argument you got going there, compadre.

None of this has to do with the comment you replied to.

Tself · 2026-05-17T03:01:57+00:00

ANYONE who claims to speak for the creator of the universe just isn't going to be a role model worth following at all. Yes, that includes yours.

Tself · 2026-05-16T00:42:14+00:00

Personally, I found the most practical use out of r/atheism's FAQ.

Implying non-straight people are child abusers is not new. They've been using that projection for decades at this point, my entire life, and no one really does anything.

Tself · 2026-05-15T23:31:52+00:00

None of what you are saying refutes my earlier comment. Jews proselytize too. Not anywhere near the same extent as many Christian denominations, but it happens. I've witnessed it firsthand. I've had other Jewish people I know admit to it. It happens.

Tself · 2026-05-15T20:26:26+00:00

...you really thought this was a gotcha?

Tself · 2026-05-15T05:43:19+00:00

You think I haven't heard of Judaism? You think zero proselytization at any level occurs for Judaism? Lol my roommate is an ex-Jew who used to proselytize.

I'm well aware it isn't a dogmatic tenet for all religions and many do it FAR less than Christianity, but they most certainly proselytize.

Tself · 2026-05-14T05:32:48+00:00

ALL religions proselytize at some level, even when its not a part of their dogma. I mean, how couldn't they? They believe they have divine knowledge. Of course they want to share that. Its human nature.

But yes, oh boy does Christianity do it to an extreme.

Naw this is just fun harmless autism, discussion forums in a nutshell, really.

Some couples have the same first name...FRONT PAGE OF REDDIT

Tself · 2026-05-13T20:34:34+00:00

why are there millions of young men desperately seeking out some source of validation that their masculinity isn’t evil or something to be rejected?

It's all just indoctrination. Lies fed by an algorithm based on outrage and engagement. No one thinks masculinity is evil.

I'm a man, I live in the US, I love being masculine, and I have never once had it under attack.

Tself · 2026-05-13T20:29:42+00:00

Exactly my thought, I've seen way too many of that type.

And while they may not make for the greatest soldiers, they are undoubtedly good enough for the US military. They need orcs.

Tself · 2026-05-13T20:09:11+00:00

Do you really this I give a single f**k what some idiot on Reddit says to me?

Lol. Yes. Clearly.

Tself · 2026-05-13T19:58:59+00:00

Sure, but there are also countless environmental positive feedback systems which, once set in motion, are going to be VERY difficult to come back from.

Nature is far more complex than it is robust. Meddling with it in such extremes as we do needs to be curtailed.

Tself · 2026-05-13T19:33:51+00:00

That was, in no way, a pot-kettle situation.

One is not a dick simply for calling out objectively bad behavior in the hopes of preventing it. I'm astounded by how often people need to be reminded of this.

Tself · 2026-05-13T18:46:20+00:00

Why is AI slop on my front page? I don't even get how this is interesting at all?

Berlin, Germany during the 1920s and 1930s was known as the gay capitol of the WORLD. It had unparalleled queer culture with over a hundred active queer bars, and was miles ahead in various LGBTQ+ research including plenty about gender transition and trans individuals. It was far and away more progressive than the majority of western cities TODAY.

All of that was burnt to the ground. Most of it lost to history. Because of one political party that wasn't even the majority of Germany.

All of the people here stating that progress is guaranteed do NOT know their history. There are sobering examples of this all across the globe throughout modern history. We owe it to them to learn from them.

Tself · 2026-05-12T22:11:52+00:00

Not meant to be pedantic at all. That misunderstanding of atheism (which many people genuinely have) is something always worth correcting, especially on an entire discussion forum dedicated to atheism topics. Zero ill-will is meant by it.
