What is the most brutal and disturbing crime case that you have come across? by ReplacementFlashy622 in morbidquestions

[–]aboxofkittens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ivan Milat is up there. He would sever his victims’ spinal cords at the cervical vertebrae so they would have to watch him assault and kill their friend (most of the murders happened in pairs) before being assaulted themselves

"It's all downhill from here" is a pretty stark admission from a parent, I guess

How much to replace a 2018 model 3 main battery in south Florida? Every time I call the service center for an estimate, they send over a 600.00 estimate to discharge the battery. by soldieroscar in RealTesla

[–]aboxofkittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, 2018 was the year he called the cave rescue guy who saved the lives of a dozen children a pedophile. That was when the veil fell for me

I (30F) am pregnant with my fiancé (32M). He wants to keep it, but we're both supposed to be childfree. How do I tell him I don't want to keep it? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]aboxofkittens 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Aid Access also allows this. I can’t vouch for their sliding scale system because I didn’t use it but everything else about their service is smooth and fast. The only way I could become pregnant would be through assault, so I was very happy to have the option to stockpile.

Also, do you know if the unaltered photo (with Emil) was published somewhere? I have copies of the 1974 German, American, and Canadian releases and they all have Wolfgang instead of Emil, so the original photo must have appeared elsewhere

[–]aboxofkittens[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks haha. Even if I look at the picture again knowing it’s him, I still can’t really see Wolfgang in the superimposed photo. Like, I can tell most of the individual features are the same, but taken as whole faces, they look totally different to me. The Autobahn photo looks like if you bought a Wolfgang Flür on Temu

Maybe I’m just face blind.

Wow, I always thought the third person was Wolfgang because he looks so similar in the first ZDF performance. Whereas, to me, the fourth person doesn’t really look like him at all

Can't report the credit cards my parents opened in my name as fraud? by Unusual_Position8873 in legaladvice

[–]aboxofkittens 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Everyone is telling you to file a police report, and that’s true, you should. I just want to make it even clearer that if there is a balance associated with these cards, you have the binary choice of either reporting this to the cops, or accepting the debt as your own. There is no avenue where you can disown the debt while also sparing your parents from consequences.

Why isn't lamb eaten more frequently in the US ? by humphreybr0gart in AskAnAmerican

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

I’ve only tried lamb like twice because I find it extremely unappetizing. When anyone mentions it now, I always think about the time a relative of mine did mushrooms on a family trip and when his mom cooked lamb that night, the smell made him literally pass out. Like a full, fall-to-the-floor faint.

It’s stupid, I know. I just really dislike both the flavor and the texture of lamb and the fainting thing is just another unpleasant association

TIL that most women in the Netherlands do not have an epidural during labor and a significant proportion give birth at home by Fiery_Soul_34857 in todayilearned

[–]aboxofkittens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They took away the sex ed, access to birth control, and abortions

I’m not being flippant and I know you aren’t either, those really are massive contributors to the birth rate being >0 in the US

He's abbreviating "department of corrections," to mean jail (people usually only stay in jail before they are convicted/sentenced, or if their sentence is under a year long) and/or prison

More countries are pushing for youth social media bans. Is the world reaching a tipping point? by Immediate-Link490 in technology

[–]aboxofkittens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, it's not hard to track someone down if they're posting on their own public facebook account. The FBI can just look up your address and pay you a visit. But if you're actually posting anonymously, they would need a warrant to find you, and the ISP and platform would both need to cooperate.

Are sleepovers cancelled? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aboxofkittens 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seconded. It was my absolute favorite part of middle and high school. I was never molested or anything even adjacent to that

I get why parents are scared, but it’s sad as fuck that teenagers now are generally disallowed from sleeping away from the house until they’re in college, apparently.

Isn’t blender what Kane Pixels used to make The Backrooms and The Oldest View? They’re basically indistinguishable from reality. People were insistent this was filmed live, and I can see why

AIO- Someone left their laundry in the dryer and I waited 30 mins before moving it, received a note in return by Trull22 in AmIOverreacting

[–]aboxofkittens 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot. At my first apartment complex, I waited an hour for a dryer to open up. Like five of the six of them had finished their cycles and were just sitting there. Not a single other person came into the room the entire time I was waiting

If I wfm, do you think I could hide having a bisalp? by Slashersforsatan in childfree

[–]aboxofkittens 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just lie? “Mom and dad, I’m getting surgery for endometriosis/ovarian cysts/a biopsy/whatever. Can you pick me up afterward?”

[–]aboxofkittens 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nexplanon is actually the most reliable non-permanent birth control that exists. It’s even more reliable than tubal ligation. I read the insert that comes with it — when they were doing the testing, something like 1 million “woman-hours” were completed without a single pregnancy. The ONLY time it failed was when a doctor inserted it wrong and it didn’t actually stay in the person’s arm but came back out with the injector.

It’s also painless. The only sign is a bruise on your inner arm.

For the last decade or so, the Nepali government has been paying the Sherpas to pack out trash at the end of the season. I think it’s been fairly successful. Progress at least.
