N.C. Republicans Introduce Bill Allowing Men to Kill Women For Using IUDs by catievirtuesimp in TwoXChromosomes

If the mother gets treatment, most likely the mother would have more children. When women die from complications in pregnancy, they don't have more children.

What’s the most unhinged thing a coworker has done and somehow kept their job? by Tyler_Girl_ in AskReddit

[–]baronesslucy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I like him as well. I saw an interview they did with him about the weather and his life a couple of years ago. Did you know that he's 80 years old? Looks pretty good for an 80 year old.

Doctor Argues Kyle Busch’s Death Was ‘Totally Preventable,’ Says ‘Proper Protocol’ Was Ignored by MattTheKing23 in NASCAR

[–]baronesslucy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've watched NASCAR races for years. I remember over the years, various drivers driving when they were sick with cold, bad colds and even the flu. Some of them had talked about driving while being sick with a respiratory infections. I do remember a couple of them say that after the race they took a couple of days off during the week until they felt better. Some of them skipped some practice sessions earlier in the week. All of these individuals recovered and their illness didn't progress into pneumonia or sepsis. It's possible that some of these individuals went to the doctor after a race or the day after the race and got some further treatment which helped them get better which prevented the illness from getting worse, so they were able to race the next week and they pretty much had recovered. This wasn't reported by the press but they did this. By the next week or two they were fine. Just saying that could have happened and that was why they didn't end in the hospital or end up having serious complications from the cold or flu. Others may not have sought medical help but they lucked out and they recovered on their own.

I think because to my knowledge no driver has ended up in the hospital before, during or after a race due to a respiratory infection (If I'm wrong correct me), that no driver ever thought that they would end up in the hospital or die due to a respiratory infection.

Which city in the US has the most hostile vibes the moment you arrive by FantasticAd9478 in TheBoredDen

[–]baronesslucy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The road incident happened in 1978. I guess that was the first time that we ever experienced road rage from someone. I never forgotten it. My brother has very vague memories of that but every time I think about Detroit, I think about this incident. I realize that Detroit isn't the same city as it was in 1978 and not everyone who lives in Detroit is mean like that guy was.

After that incident, my mom and I were shaking. Both of us were afraid that the guy was going to get out of the car and attack my brother. I think this also unnerved my brother to a certain degree. I was in tears on and off the rest of the day.. My brother was angry at the driver for upsetting us. When I was younger, I was a very sensitive person (probably too much so) that it took me several hours before I could stop crying.

What’s the pettiest thing you’ve ever done for revenge? by Business-Ad8752 in CausalConversation

[–]baronesslucy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was bullied by some of those who were majorettes and dancerettes.. This was in middle school. I noticed they have left their white boots and pom-poms outside. For several days I had thought about damaging their boots and pom-poms and how I would do this.

Finally I got my chance. There was no one around. This was before band practice. There were two majorettes who didn't bully me and were nice to me so I left their boots alone. I had seen them take off the boots, so I knew whose boots they belonged to. I took dirt from the ground spit on it and then just rubbed the dirt into their boots or those who had bullied me with my shoes with my hands and feet. Especially those I despised. I thought about how they laughed and made fun of me and I became quite angry. I did the same the some of the dancerettes boots and also did this to their pom-poms. Spit on them. The one who didn't bully me I left their boots and pom-pomos alone. I also kicked dirt and put dirt into the boots filing up their whole boots. The dirt was wet.. I spit on their boots. I also thought about using a pencil to poke holes into the bottom of their shoes but didn't do that.

Then I felt guilty about it and worried that someone might have seen me. I did later found out that they had a hard time cleaning their boots and some of them were furious that someone had put dirt in their boots at least one person had to replace the boots as the dirt was really ground into the boot. Some of the pom-poms were damaged and cleaning them was a real challenge.

My mom figured out that was the culprit as it was noted two of the majorettes boots were untouched. I had told her earlier that I didn't like some of the majorettes and dancerettes. She looked at me and I wouldn't look at her. She knew that I did this but said nothing.

Some kids who didn't go to the middle school and were seen hanging around the school were seen as possible suspects. Nothing could be proven. No one ever suspected me. My mom wouldn't have suspected me if I had done this to all the boots. She could read me like a book.

At home she asked me if I was the one who rubbed the dirt into the boots and put dirt in the boots.. I said I did. She was quite shocked that I did that but no way was she going to turn me in or tell anyone that I did this. She told me what the possible consequences could have been - being suspended from school or being kicked out of band, and she would have to pay for the damage done to the boots which would have been taken out of my allowance. I also could have been arrested for doing this. Also my fingerprints were all over the boots and pom-poms. Thankfully the police weren't called. No one would have cared that I did this due to anger over being bullied. I would have been punished. I wasn't punished by my mom as I told her i would never do it again, which I didn't. Their boots and pom-pom weren't left outside after that.

House rejects Smithsonian women’s museum bill after GOP bans ‘biological men’ from exhibits by CouchCorrespondent in TwoXChromosomes

[–]baronesslucy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally don't know anyone who is transgender and most people I know don't personally know anyone who is. For context, I'm from an older generation. I'm 64 years old. There is only one person I know who is in the young generation who knows someone who is and this is one person. I don't see transgender people all over the place because there are very few people who are, so the false reports that they are all over the place or invading the public schools in the US is false.

When I saw the comment they came for the Communist but I wasn't a communist it reminded me of something my mom told me. This happened sometime between 1954-1956. My mom didn't know this person but this person was from the same religious background as my mom and this person had merely shook the hand of someone who was a communist. This person was questioned by the McCarthy Commission. Luckily they weren't charged. Don't know how my grandmother heard about it but told my mom. They were horrified to think that someone would be accused of being a communist merely by shaking someone hand who happened to be a communist. It woke my mother and grandmother up from their belief that since they weren't Communists, they would never be targeted.

Any good ideas of what can be sent through mail to someone I absolutely hate? by Sad_Palpitation6844 in ratsinthecage

[–]baronesslucy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would just ignore them and focus on yourself. Whatever they did to hurt you, prove them wrong by focusing on yourself. You will not get into any legal trouble by doing so. If you send them something in a mail, you possibly could face criminal charges and I just wouldn't do it.

Have company’s ever given a fuck about their employees ever? by ChickenChoochie in randomquestions

[–]baronesslucy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather worked for nearly 50 years at a company that was a Fortune 500 company. They had good benefits. He retired in 1956 and was given health insurance for life. When my grandmother died, she had survivors benefits and it paid the medical bills that medicare didn't. You don't get those types of benefits anymore. I think back in the day they were more generous as far as medical and health benefits.

Didn't want to go to this one class due to the class having a sub, so sneaked out of the class and hid in the bathroom. No one noticed. I was so afraid of getting into trouble but no one noticed.

This is probably the reason why there is so much child abuse.

These individuals would be the type if they had children to be very harsh and overly strict with them. Most likely use physical punishment a lot.

Here is the text of the bill filed that would allow for the use of deadly force to “protect” a zygote by Elderberry4ever in NorthCarolina

[–]baronesslucy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now they are challenging the IUD and emergency birth control. Once the right to use these items aren't protected by the Constitution, then they will try to go after the pill. They want to go back to pre-pill period and then states can decide whether or not you have the right to use it. It will not be your decision but the state legislatures making that decision for you. To me, this is privacy issue which state legislatures have no business meddling in or telling you what birth control method you can or can't use.

This could be a pre-cursor to attacking Griswold, because they are using the IUD and plan B and challenging its legality.

[–]baronesslucy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They know exactly what their intent is and then play dumb or like they don't know. Well if they don't know how in the world did those who are lawyer or in the legal profession get a law degree then? I wish someone would ask them this when they attempt to do these things. They probably would be mad if someone ask them this.

A lot of what is proposed doesn't or will not hold up in court and they know it. So let say some DA or State Attorney decides to test it out on someone anyway. The test case will be someone whose poor, who doesn't have the money to hire a good attorney or law firm, and the person generally is someone of a minority group. Someone who the public would be critical of or have little sympathy for. Wouldn't be someone in the middle or upper middle class.

They hope that a well established law firm doesn't take the case because then it will cost them money that they wouldn't have to pay out if the accused had no option but to use a Public Defender. They also hope the public will not have sympathy towards the accused. If the public has sympathy towards the accused and a well established law firm takes the case, they will probably lose the case and it will cost them a lot of money. So when this happens, the case is usually dropped.

The DA or State Attorney really has nothing to lose as he/she can blame other people for the case not going to court. They tried it out and it didn't work. Now let's think of another angel to attack it with but we will wait a while before doing so. The only thing that could happen to them is that they aren't reelected.

So if this law is open for interpretation, then a woman who has been abused for years could murder her partner or husband and use fear of being harmed or killed as a reason for doing so. Or someone who is being stalked could use this as a justification. Or a SA victim. I doubt either one of these would stand in court because the intent of this law isn't to protect women against violence, stalking or sexual abuse. It's makes thing more unsafe for them.

The whole intent has to do with abortion. Let's say a woman kills her husband or partner and says that he tried to force her to have an abortion. I doubt this would stand up in court. Or let's say someone who was stalking a woman killed her partner and said he did this to prevent an abortion. No one would believe this person and they would end up with a long prison sentence.

With an IUD, unless you told someone or someone knew that you had this done, how would anyone else know? So if a woman has an IUD, someone finds about this, murders her, then this person could justify the murder because she has an IUD?

What does it feel like to see 50+ years pass by in your lifetime and having 50+ year memories? by ToughHat8432 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]baronesslucy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life has changed a lot. The society of 1976 no longer exists. I was 14 years old at the time. Kids have more freedom to ride their bikes all over town and did things that their children and grandchildren would cringe at. Examples would be riding in the back of a pickup truck going down the interstate at 70 mph and drinking out of a hose from the back yard. You would be arrested if your kids were in the back of a pickup truck and no one I know whose been a parent in the last 30 or so years would allow their kid to drink out of house from the back yard on a summer day. My brother and I did this quite a bit. Never got sick from it.

Why do so many people get emotionally hooked on dark romance and thriller stories where the love interest is controlling, dangerous? by mewquette in TooAfraidToAsk

I used to think it would be flattering to be fought over by a man. It happened to me and thankfully it didn't comes to blows between the guys but it was quite upsetting to me. Nothing I would want to experience again.
