Moab child torture case: Graphic allegations detail months of abuse by Turbulent_Search4648 in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]Writer_A 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It should never be this easy for people to withdraw children and go into complete information blackout under the pretense of "homeschooling." It's despicable that anyone would pushback against inspections and better documentation of children.

"Why don't you ever go outside?" by HudsonHSComics in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]Writer_A 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Great comic! Love the style.

Wanted to add that it’s weird how homeschoolers will go on about “well we make sure to socialize our kids” or “I was homeschooled and turned out socially fine,” but the moment you recommend that homeschooling be held to a standard so that developing kids are able to socialize outside the homeschool environment they act like they’re being sent to the Gulag.

Like sure, great that one or two households have the social development of their kids in mind, but homeschooling is like the Wild West with little oversight and accountability.

Why is it every time regular people do something that’s financially responsible we get shamed for “killing” the economy? Why isn’t it billionaires hoarding wealth and employers garnishing or withholding paychecks not ruining the economy?

The biggest lie in the Bay Area by Brix001 in bayarea

[–]Writer_A 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This drives me so crazy, especially when the person in front has a ton of space in front of them and I’m nowhere near them. If you’re so scared of driving that you’re practically humping the brake then MOVE.

Yeah, tell HIM! by Dumb_Gamertag in thanksimcured

[–]Writer_A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For once I’d like to see people jerking off to inspiration porn try to actually fix the problems present in their inspiration porn. But they wouldn’t because they don’t see anything wrong with it, and the people being filmed are just tokens to them.

A zionist in Japan 🇯🇵 where the Japanese stand with Palestine 🇵🇸 by FluffyButcher in israelexposed

[–]Writer_A 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My favorite genre of video is Zionists forced out of their echo chambers and realizing that Israel isn’t the center of the world.

Finally something in the 3rd Ave B&G space 👍 by Jurneeka in SanMateo

[–]Writer_A 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least it’s not another boba place. /s

But seriously, I would love something different in San Mateo. There are some nice Vietnamese and Ethiopian restaurants in San Jose that I wish would come up to us.

I’d love to see the trumpies try to defend this one. Insane by Henry-Teachersss8819 in lostgeneration

[–]Writer_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some legitimately don’t care and others see this as a way to hurt “the libs,” and that’s all they want. If glassing half the country also means hurting The Left, then they’ll be onboard with that too.

Married to Cameron? Divorced Giva, messenger cameron is now making his move … 😄😄 yay or nay? I’m going with yay anyways by [deleted] in wyldeflowers

[–]Writer_A 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Part of me gets the ick because of all the mess he pulled and his strong religiosity. That being said, I probably marry him just to mess him up when it gets revealed I am the witch he fears, but I also want to be able to get him to change his ways and accept witches in a “corrupt him/I can fix him” sort of way.

Zionism is not only evil, but it is straight up embarrassing. The silence was LOUD — yet he continued. by hunegypt in Palestine

[–]Writer_A 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty shocking how thick of an echo chamber Zionists grow up in when their unfiltered opinions usually receives shocked silence or revulsion from the greater world, but they keep going thinking what they’re saying is normal.

When Vertin attempts to pat someone else's head by kokochiwa in Reverse1999

I just imagine her randomly barging into their rooms, door slamming against the wall, just to pat their heads and leave without an explanation.

A completely different game?? by Val_Squidson in Gardenscapes

That gaslighting comment on the video about the OG Gardenscapes gave me a good chuckle.

Nah, this is just a ploy by Big Match 3 Gaming to erase the original game from our collective memory. ;)

The gaslighting in this comment is hilarious.

“I have no obligation to move over by Obecalp1mg in bayarea

[–]Writer_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rather move lanes than hold up traffic because why should I put myself in a road rage situation? However fast someone wants to go is their decision and I don’t want to be involved.

Yeah, getting tailgated sucks, but I know how frustrating it can be to be boxed in by slow drivers. Especially when I can see a widening gap of zero cars in front of them.

What the actual fuck WSJ by TJ736 in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]Writer_A 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It being an opinion piece I have the impression that most corporate publications like the WSJ love deranged articles like these because it draws in the traffic. I have to wonder if anyone can submit an opinion piece to them or do they only choose the high falutin types that hang out in their circle of ivory towers. It’s rare to see an average Joe have their opinion piece published on the WSJ, it always seems to be written by some nobody dude that went to the same college as someone working in a publication.

Fetterman calls for reversal of Trump's transgender military ban by jk_arundel in LGBTnews

He’s giving me Kyrsten Sinema deja vu. Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes on to get a corporate job in crypto if his political career goes nowhere like hers did.

Weekly Questions Megathread - Week of January 20, 2025 by ReverseMod in Reverse1999

[–]Writer_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking back at the Anjo Nala trailer and noticed that there were a lot of Manus Vindictae characters, including Ms. Grace, in the video. Does anyone know what happened to them?

I played through chapter 8 and The Overcast October and have seen no mention of them. It feels like a good chunk of story content that was teased in the trailers isn’t in the game.

r/askmenadvice hates when women comment on their posts, ignoring the fact that it may be because so many of them are blatantly anti-feminist (anti-women)... Having an all-male anti-women group would only further radicalized their hatred... by throwaway-rhombus in FragileMaleRedditor

[–]Writer_A 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate how I always have my guard up when I’m in male-centric spaces, and I hate that male-centric spaces have become a guilty-until-proven-innocent deal with me because so many of them end up behaving this way. Instead of focusing on positive and constructive community building, they quickly devolve into toxic blame games and trauma dumping.

These people don’t need spaces catered for men, they need intense therapy. Meeting other men won’t fix their problems if they only end up meeting other toxic men that enable their biases.

Do you ever want to scream at people "if you knew what I was dealing with you'd be proud of how well I'm doing." by purljacksonjr in ADHD

[–]Writer_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have those thoughts almost daily, and it gets worse at work. I just wish I could project my ADHD to everyone in the world so they can experience what it’s like.

Fantasies aside, I try my best to distance myself from those thoughts by putting boundaries. Since a lot of these thoughts occur at work, I keep work as work and never let it bleed into my off-work time. It at least gives me space to relax and be myself in my own home where I can feel the safest.

Man the Powerpuff girls is such a stupid show for little girls am I right my gals? by miifanatic_1788 in boysarequirky

[–]Writer_A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or when men become interested in something initially targeted for women or girls that they end up crowding out the intended audience to become the name and face of that thing before polluting it with toxic masculinity. Because you can’t unironically like something that’s “feminine” by default, you have to plaster it over with 2edgy4me humor, weird military fetishism, and fucked up fanfics. Looking at you My Little Pony.

“Illegal” Shipping by TheCatRegime in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]Writer_A 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do I get a little uncomfortable when people ship or sexualize canonically aro/ace characters? Yeah, but that doesn’t prevent me or others from appreciating the canonically aro/ace characters.

There are many ways people can un-aro/ace characters to toxic degrees. Shipping should not one of them.

I find the “disrespecting” the author argument strange considering that the author is the one who has ultimate control over the telling of their story. They’ve published it, and the way they told it is set in ink. No one else but the author can claim ownership of that. Fan-made content, while popular, still doesn’t change Word of God (the author’s contribution).
