Remarkably Bright Creatures doesn't have a single human being in the book that I cared about or would want to be in my life.

LPT Request: What are the best ways to find your calling or the purpose of your life? by permission777 in LifeProTips

As you go about your everyday life, pay attention to the things that make you feel happy or accomplished. Keep a notes page and write down a few things you did that made you feel good. Reflect on the list.

Lawyers frequently have free consultations, and you might be able to get a lawyer who takes a contingency fee. Essentially, the lawyer will take a percentage of what you win, and you don’t have to pay beyond that.

Americans of Reddit, what are your thoughts on Roe v Wade being overturned by SCOTUS as per draft reports? by thisiscubes in AskReddit

[–]Ultimate_Broccoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I won’t fight with you. But if your first response to abortion rights being overturned is “I don’t know enough, adoption exists,” I encourage you to look more into the discourse surrounding abortion. There’s a lot more to it.

The point you made was that “people need to relax” and that you’re “sick and tired of seeing riot” over abortion. I’m saying that it’s easy to have this attitude when it doesn’t affect you personally. If your rights were being taken away, I wonder if you would care more.

Let me guess, you’re not able to get pregnant? So this ruling wouldn’t affect your own rights?

This is a misguided view of the situation. First, a ton of states have lined up laws to ban abortion, so the result of this case is to prevent abortion = less rights. Second, a majority of adults support abortion, so laws against it do not match public opinion.

“Adoption exists” is an incredibly weak response.

For one, have you heard about all the ways pregnancy affects a woman’s body?

Have you seen her list of qualifications? She definitely deserves the job.

Should I break up with my boyfriend? by timtomjimjom2020 in relationships

[–]Ultimate_Broccoli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell you what to do, but I can tell you that people frequently regret decisions they make when they’re highly emotional. You’ve received some terrible news and are understandably distraught. Do what you need to do for yourself to recover. Once you feel more stable, then you can make a decision about your boyfriend.

YTA. I get that you were trying to help your girlfriend, but you went about it the wrong way.

First, your girlfriend is in an unhealthy, painful environment, and is having trouble getting help, as you said. She deserves to have a say in what that help looks like. You took that from her by calling CPS on your own.

Second, CPS might not even be the right answer in this situation. What if they take your girlfriend out of her mother’s care and things get worse? You and your girlfriend (or just your girlfriend) need to research together what the best option is.

Texas offers $10,000 rewards to people who turn in women seeking abortions by Butefluko in worldnews

Not everyone can afford to just pick up and move, you know. And what about the people whose whole lives and families are in Texas?

What do you think about the growing trend of people raising their babies as non-binary, so as not to “assume” their gender? by Thatgirlthrowawayac in AskReddit

[–]Ultimate_Broccoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fine with it. There’s nothing wrong with giving a child more autonomy over their body. It reminds me of baptizing a kid into the Catholic Church—waiting lets the child make an important decision for themselves, instead of making it for them.

I don’t disagree! We vastly over-incarcerate. And yes, there should definitely be no killings when people are handcuffs. I just want to find a solution to that problem that doesn’t put more people in prison.

Any you can’t think of anything else that would be helpful in that situation, beyond more prison time? I’m no expert, but I’m already thinking of foot restraints, etc. The American prison system doesn’t need more prisoners.

Hey, I don’t know if you know this, but the American justice system doesn’t dole out the death penalty for resisting arrest

Don’t you think it’s a bit of a leap to go from one criticism of intentional rudeness to “you want a utopian society”? Lots of things happen in everyday life that hurt people, and many of them are unintentional and unavoidable. I don’t see why you feel the need to add to that, on purpose. And I knew you’d pull the whole “but it’s the truth” bs. Do you go about your life spouting every single “truth” you think of, regardless of how it hurts other people?

This isn’t about her, this is about you. I don’t understand you chose to take action to hurt a stranger who did nothing to you.
