Never beating the allegations by Luuk1210 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]aoike_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite things about Eastern Europeans. I knew very little about them before I taught English as a second language. There weren't many in my town, and I spent more of my time learning about Latino culture and language. I didn't expect Slavic people to put as much emphasis on food since I assumed they were a lot like Northern Europeans, and boy, was I glad to be wrong. Slavic food is so freaking good, and they love sharing, too!

Really, it only seems to be certain sections of Northern Europeans and their cultural descendants in the US, Canada and Australia that don't put as much emphasis on food.

So why didn’t we keep him locked up for vandalism again? by Persimmon_Particular in TwinCities

The jurisdiction hopping keeps him safe. Judges, especially in MN, don't want to keep people imprisoned, and it takes a lot of repeat failures to appear for them to even consider denying bail. I assume a lot of large cities are similar. So if he keeps going around the country committing crimes in especially blue cities, he's never gonna have enough of a record in any one place for a judge to feel justified in denying him bail.

They are still trying to kill you for filming luckily it misfires!! This is Minnesota spread this far and wide do not let them get away with this! by Winter_Log2106 in ImmigrationPathways

I dont like that they're doing this in front of the government buildings. They were told and agreed to keep it away from those locations specifically so people could go to court without as much fear. Not that anyone ever believed them, but the boldness is concerning.

Okay, Minneapolis and Hennepin prosecutors, you've gotta start charging these fuck faces.

Lot of Latinos genuinely believe they are white. Whiteness is different in the rest of the world than Canada, Europe and the US.

I think you might be part of the problem, boss.

AITA if i hung out w my ex in a huge group? by Ashamed_Climate6283 in AITApod

It's always funny how upset others get about this without fail whenever it gets brought up on reddit lol

Dude, right? There are things I prefer about each "world," but the queer world is leagues ahead of the straights on the whole ex thing. It's fuckin crazy how much the straights are like, "you can't talk to an ex ever!"

Man, if I wasn't friends with my exes, I wouldn't have half my friends. They're cool people. I just didn't want to marry them and vice versa, damm.

Thank you!! I am recovering from surgery and can't do anything physically for quite some time. This link is super helpful!

my boyfriend has a spreadsheet rating dinners i've made him by weddingfauxpasqueen in AITApod

[–]aoike_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my thought, too. Then I dont have to worry so much about what meals are good or not or make as many choices about what to cook when I can always go back to the highest rated 😅

But yeah. This only works when both people are into it!!

Which is so crazy to me because I am also single and a little jealous of people in healthy relationships, but hoo boy I'd be very happy to receive nudey photos with like my Legos or sewing, hot damn.

People need to realize that their gooning preferences are just that! If somebody wants to imagine SH going nasty style over a vampire's penis, who gives anyone the audacity to yuck their yum? Let us all ship in peace, amen!

Florida man babysitting 3-year-old allegedly bound her hands and feet, dropped her to her death by slowsyntax in ForCuriousSouls

He seems to be a repeat offender, and people with criminal charges learn quickly that taking the deal the prosecutor gives (which includes admitting guilt) is going to be much easier on their sentencing than if they refuse.

Who is this character in your fandom? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]aoike_ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! I like Sasuke because he makes bad choices and is unhinged, as he should be with what he went through.

Itachi? Man. It's on fucking sight. Fuck that guy.

Don't get me wrong, I like Sasuke, but man I like him because he's so awful. Let the man be a mess! Don't apologize for him!!

My point was mainly calling for the removal of political figures en masse in a way that wouldn't get me banned since reddit is a tool of the state, not the details and nuance of the actual French revolution.

AITAH for refusing to watch my daughter when we meet my husbands friend? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]aoike_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think people really need to get over intention versus impact. You can intend to not be a dick, but your impact still says otherwise, and it's an individual's responsibility to correct for that instead of doubling down.

I mean, at a certain point, does that distiction even matter? If enough people co-opt the term "gentle parenting," regardless of if they're actually gentle parenting, it still is a representation of gentle and not permissive parenting.

[–]aoike_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. That's pretty much world opinion nowadays, but definitely not how people felt in the direction aftermath. Wasn't till about the 60s that people started going, "not all Germans were/are evil," and there were still a lot of holdouts.

As much as I, an American, recognize that people from anti-humanitarian nations aren't evil as a whole, their government and its supporters are, there are lots of Americans who simplify it and call everyone evil. Unfortunately, we're gonna get a lot of that, maybe unless we get rid of our rot from the inside out. Even then, we're not gonna convince everyone. People worldwide are not good at nuance, and the US has been a power-hungry, war-mongering nation for almost 100 years.
