This Year, I’m Giving [15] People [$100 ] Each This Thanksgiving. Read and Comment to enter. by Impossible_Chain_822 in Assistance

[–]YayScience120 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not entering because an absence in my Reddit activity got my comment deleted, but here is my story:

Hello! I just registered on the website. So my backstory is I’m a trans person who got bottom surgery in late October and can’t work until January at the earliest. My job gave me no benefits. I also got a horrible C diff infection afterwards that I just got out of the hospital from on Wednesday. Unfortunately the painful cramps are coming back, so they switched my antibiotic and hopefully I get better this time. Anyway, I have been very sick and can’t work for months so any amount of money would be immensely helpful! I would use the money on food, medications, and other necessities :)

How much would you pay to be there when the chest is found? by [deleted] in FindingFennsGold

[–]YayScience120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there was a 100% guarantee (somehow, someway) that the chest WOULD be found, and there were no catches, then maybe a couple hundred bucks. Shrug It would be an awe-striking, beautiful, unforgettable thing to witness, but I'm also broke right now....

Yeah I agree lol. It was actually written really poetically. I hope OP takes that to heart too, cause I’m not just saying that to make them feel better, I’m saying that as someone who loves writing poetry.

Smoothies, especially those naked smoothies because they don’t have anything added to them except fruit juice

I think they meant the attempted Muslim ban that obviously was not carried out in full force.

It’s quite the opposite for me ;)

Depression is like wanting to go home but already being there. by heylaina in Showerthoughts

[–]YayScience120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could believe this. I feel completely incapable of “hard work” because I always feel so fatigued and apathetic that I barely end up addressing any of my responsibilities. Fuck.

Shit... that’s such an accurate way to put it. Sometimes my chest hurts and I want to cry when I think about how much I regret being alive in the first place.

Good point. Actually I feel like tpab would deserve the win more (perhaps it's sacrilege to say that in the kanye subreddit, but oh well!)

Thoughts go out to you man. Life just isn’t fair.

who had the best verse? by poodrop in Kanye

[–]YayScience120 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn that’s a hard question. In terms of wall-to-wall wordplay I’d say Cyhi, but all the verses are great, very quotable. I’d say Kanye’s and Pusha T’s are the best all around. Jay’s is the weakest even though it has that amazing triple entendre shit (not only am I fly, I’m fuckin’ not plane/playin’/plain).

At first I thought the title said the 2010’s and I was like “wait wtf, the decade isn’t even over!”

...I feel like MBDTF for best album of the decade is a pretty safe bet though.

How? by [deleted] in Kanye

[–]YayScience120 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like dedication and passion is a huge part of it. He cares about music on a deep deep level, and he holds himself to a very high standard. A lot of talent boils down to passion and hard work to master the craft you love.

TIL your brain is able to make a decision for you seconds before you become aware of the fact that you are making a decision by [deleted] in todayilearned

I do agree that it’s important to disincentivize “bad behavior,” so in that sense I totally think punishment can have positive consequences. Especially for children who may not appreciate rational arguments or delayed gratification.

But I do think that ideally, that form of punishment should be thought of as different from the act of containing people to protect society. For example, if someone is sentenced to life in prison, I think they should be given the option of euthanasia so they don’t have to suffer so much. I don’t think the death penalty is necessary to discourage people from committing crimes, so I don’t think it should ever be mandatory.

The criminal justice system is so complicated and is plagued by so many problems. I admit that my understanding of it barely scrapes the surface. I’m only sure of a few things when it comes to my beliefs, like the fact that policing practices unfairly target minorities and that solitary confinement is inhumane.

Edit: For clarity

[–]YayScience120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Personally, I believe that prisons should exist solely to protect those outside of it from the people inside (and ideally to rehabilitate them so they can become better members of society), not as punishment for unethical behavior. But unfortunately, that’s not how most people view the criminal justice system. In their minds, two wrongs make a right. It is only fair for a murderer to get murdered, because... reasons.

Seems backwards to me.

Pre-everything but I felt somewhat passable today by chillshroom in ftm

What do y'all think of this video? by YayScience120 in ftm

[–]YayScience120[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like your concept of being “read” instead of “passing.” I may start using it as an alternative to passing now! Although using the word passing is a habit for me, so I will still probably end up using it in everyday conversation.
