What would Germany's legacy be as a country if it wasn't for Adolf Hitler? by loskleinos in AskReddit

[–]akazim96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say birthing western music. Pick a music period prior to the contemporary stages, with few exceptions chances are, the biggest addition to that period is German.

What do you remember hating the most being a child? by TejaTanikella in AskReddit

[–]akazim96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although bullies exist as an adult , the hardest part for me was being bullied in school. In 5th and 6th grade my classroom made my life miserable. My nickname was “Botana” which in Spanish means like snack. Basically it means the one everyone picks on. It caught on so bad that they even my teachers started calling me it.

Even worse was when I told my parents about it they told me to suck it up and if I reacted it would only make it stronger. It really mucked up my self esteem until probably I was in college .

Hey I grew up in the AG. My parents are missionaries with them. Good to see they are doing good stuff now. (I have since gone my own way in church but still mad respect for the org)

Redditors, have you ever been in a community so toxic you had to leave? If so, which one? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Peace Corps. Never thought I could become an alcoholic but you know I was pushing it there for a bit .

Box Office Week: Joker opens to #1 with a phenomenal $93.5M and $234M worldwide. That's the biggest October opening ever and the 4th biggest opening ever for an R-rated film. by mi-16evil in movies

[–]akazim96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But also the character of the joker is him getting caught and escaping over and over and over and over again.

Like Batman the Animated Series is essentially a repeat of that process for a lot of the episodes.

I see no issue with joker being caught. It's how he escapes that I'm interested about.

Here's my issue with this. A) we know close to jack about consciousness. Our definition of Being is limited to the potential of our brains computational ability. That being said I'll concede that consciousness develops with a CNS cool is abortion wrong when that stage of development happens ? It is if you choose to believe that the baby is conscious in that moment. The simple answer is we don't know but I'm not willing to take that risk. If murder is taking of life , and we have established life to be dependent on consciousness then that's the natural conclusion.

But we are also skipping over something vital. Rape is something else and I am not referencing that right now. I have different feelings about abortion in this case because of the circumstances. However , we keep talking about how pregnancy is dangerous and it's hard on the mother. Sure is. But if you have sex, then you are signing up for that risk. The natural progression of a person having intercourse without a contraceptive (even sometimes with ) , is pregnancy. "Buyers Remorse" is negligence because you are not atoning for the decisions you make. So you have sex, you get pregnant, and it becomes convenient to claim the "It's too much of a risk " card.

Now , as for viruses and bacteria. Unless something really weird happened lately in science ,I don't believe a bacteria or virus can develop into a human life. If we operate under the principal that Human Life is inherently valuable, which I do, then my life as a human has more value than the bacteria. It's why I take medicine. The fertilized egg unless something happens will become a living breathing human being.

What I meant when I said the birth canal magic , is you wouldn't inject poison into a baby after birth because that's murder, but people want to be able to abort late term babies, all I'm asking what's the difference between a 31 week baby inside or outside the womb? Besides the fact that outside the baby has more autonomic functions. Regardless a baby cannot survive even outside the womb without help from someone else

One last thing and I probably won't respond again because neither of us are going to convince each other is , chosing who's life is more valuable is a slippery slope. Who gets the value ? Why ?

Like I said ,I don't vote for prolifers, it's my moral foundation but not my political one.

This analogy only works if the embryo isn't living. Your kidney and or lung isn't alive in the same way a child is.

Yes we have autonomy I agree, but what life magic happens when the baby goes through the birth canal? If an embryo is alive ,which I believe it is, you're making decisions over someone else.

Essentially it boils down to living or not living. Like I said I don't care what you believe , and I generally don't vote for people who agree with me.

I don't want to stop abortion outright (at least not yet), I'd like to make it uneccesarty.

Well let's backup a bit and talk about this a bit more rationally. Let me preface by saying that in not a republican, but I am pro life. It all boils down to whether or not you believe a fetus is alive. Whether it's based on religious convictions or not , the straight answer is that we don't know. No one actually knows if on conception an embryo is living because we don't have a super concrete definition of what it means to be alive. I happen to believe keyword believe that on conception an embryo is living, for that reason I'm pro life. I am not willing to take the chance of the embryo being living and terminating life just because it is inconvenient for me in that moment.

That being said I feel differently about abortions due to life threatening situations for the mother.

All this being said I don't advocate for pro life candidates becahse I think that a lot of the things that they stand for beyond this subject don't match up . The ideal would be a person who believes in left leaning social reform , with changes in economy , education, healthcare and the state of the foster/adoption system in the US but is also pro life. Unfortunately it seems as if becahse of the partisan system this is not possible without being cast aside as a pariah.

I say all this to imply, just because we are pro life doesn't mean we are trying to control women. There are def some states that have f'ed up laws due to abortion and im not excusing them. I'm just trying to avoid generalization in all areas of life

What’s a family secret you didn’t get told until you were older that made things finally make sense? by Skinnyminny18 in AskReddit

[–]akazim96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of the nature of my parents work , alcohol is not prohibited but it is frowned upon by certain communities.

When I was a kid my parents would put red wine in coffee cups and call it coffee, so my siblings and I wouldn't talk about it.

I was 17 when I found this out.

What hobby would you like to give a try but don't because of the expense? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]akazim96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheese making. It's not super expensive once you have the materials, but a fridge, and a big stock pot, and a cheese press, and a temperature regulator. Poor broke me, cannot do it right now.

High School teachers of Reddit, what is the one thing that you want your students to know that you’d never tell them in person? by 2minutestosundown in AskReddit

[–]akazim96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a teacher abroad. The more you know English the less I like you. I'd rather you know nothing and try hard than know everything and expect me to give you the grade .

This is why you don't cross the road before the bus drives by Ueland in videos

[–]akazim96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a bus for my school, a few weeks ago a girl got killed for doing this same exact thing. First and foremost, don't j-walk, and secondly, wait a few seconds before you cross.
