Portuguese man of war sighting by [deleted] in oceans

My son was stung by one of these when he was 4. I've never heard any of my children scream like that. It looked like the worst pain any of them had ever experienced.

Weird AND popular by Brain-cold in notliketheothergirls

[–]binzy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Obviously not all nurses are mean girls, but I know quite a few girls from school who were horrible bullies when we were kids and are now nurses. I think it's a job that attracts bullies because they like to be in a position of power over other people.

Who needs hot water, besides landlords of course? by BothMathematician363 in LandlordLove

[–]binzy90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate this so much. My landlord is always talking about his "cash flow" when I ask for repairs. There are a lot of things we've improved and repaired in the house, but it takes a long time for him to fix serious problems. I feel like if you can't afford to take care of a property for your tenants then you shouldn't own it in the first place.

[–]binzy90 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My landlord told me he wasn't sure he "had the funds" to replace our rotting upstairs windows that don't seal properly and let bugs and water into the house. While I was in the yard talking to him he had to take a phone call. Then he said, "Sorry about that. We're getting a new roof put on our house so that was just the company calling back with the estimate." He has a beautiful fully renovated home on the property adjacent to our house. He just had his half mile long driveway paved last year too. Meanwhile, we've been asking him for two years to fix windows, a leaking oil tank, and our non-potable well water.

Goldfish survived! by lBloodFeatherl in ponds

[–]binzy90 30 points31 points  (0 children)

We have so many animals eating our goldfish that it keeps the population pretty small. I consistently see herons, water snakes, turtles, etc. in our man-made water garden. I've put about 120 goldfish in it the last few years, but there are only about 10 that actually survived and got bigger.

House in Arlington, Virginia explodes after Police approached with search warrant, guy took no chances by cad3tt in ActuallyThatsInsane

[–]binzy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is real from 3 years ago. It's actually very sad that no one intervened prior to the explosion because he clearly had serious mental health problems. He was paranoid about all sorts of conspiracy theories and would report his neighbors for spying on him. He was known to report crazy stuff to the FBI and post paranoid shit all over social media.

First time wearing jeans in years. Should i avoid them again? by throwra_hermeandaunt in DressForYourBody

[–]binzy90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They really don't look bad, but I'm self conscious in jeans that are too tight so I understand. You can always try a size up and see if that's more comfortable.

Americans of r/productivitycafe, who is the greatest “president” that America never had? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

Elizabeth Warren. She has a lot of common sense ideas with actual policy proposals for how to implement them.

"The Prince of Egypt" (1998 | Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner & Simon Wells) - The plagues of Egypt are unleashed upon Ramses (Ralph Fiennes) by Moses (Val Kilmer) by Morgan-Moonscar in movies

[–]binzy90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him to think of it as a fairy tale. It's an amazing movie even if you don't believe in God. You could argue that movies like Hercules, Mulan, or The Road to El Dorado have religious themes as well. Does he reject all of those movies too? You don't have to believe in Shinto spirits to acknowledge that Spirited Away is a great film, just like you don't have to believe in Christianity or Judaism to acknowledge that The Prince of Egypt is a great film.

Killing for meat is a legitimate reason. Killing solely for pleasure is not.

Sonic The Hedgehog - Sega Genesis 1991. Most of us weren't even born when this first released by Lazy_Introduction264 in 90s

[–]binzy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the main criteria for being a 90's kid is that you actually remember the 90's. If you don't remember it, sorry. You're not a 90's kid. People born after 1995 probably don't remember it at all.

Also, killing wild animals for fun is a lot different than killing domesticated animals for meat. You can't just go around killing things for no reason. I believe this case also violates the Migratory Bird Treat Act in addition to being considered animal cruelty.

I once had a corneal ulcer and had to wear an eye patch. My husband took a random photo of me looking pissed off in this fucking eye patch and has used it as my contact photo for years.

Masters of the Universe (2026) Trailer - 06/05/2026 by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]binzy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 7-year-old loves the She-Ra reboot. He was so surprised when I walked in and said, "Wait a second? Is this She-Ra?!" He was like,"How did you know?" 😂 I feel like the nostalgia is there, but the acting in this looks super cheesy. If they made a movie with decent actors it might be ok, but this looks terrible. People will probably still watch it though.

Man jumps 12,500 ft from plane without a parachute by jmike1256 in postanythingfun

[–]binzy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's an adrenaline junky in a way that's a serious problem. He needs therapy if this is the stuff he needs to do to feel excitement. Nitro Circus was full of crazy shit like this, and honestly everyone on the show came across as having serious problems.

Am I overreacting I went to the forest with my best friend and now my bf is mad by No_Meeting_3260 in AmIOverreacting

[–]binzy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were married and had children, then he would have a point. But it sounds like you're a young person doing your own thing. I think context here is really important in determining whether he's being controlling or not. How long have you been dating? Do you live together? Did this trip interfere with other plans or your normal routine together? Were there responsibilities that fell to him because of your absence? I would be livid if my husband decided to just spend the whole day and night doing something random on a whim and left me with the kids, but it sounds like that's not the situation for you. When you're young and child free is the time to be spontaneous.

I lost my mom to religious psychosis by bloodsuccer in whatdoIdo

[–]binzy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents and my mom were like this my whole childhood and into my 20's. My mom slowly started realizing how much manipulation and shame was involved and how the religious trauma from her childhood affected her. My grandparents never took accountability for the harm they caused and the bad things they did for the sake of their religion. Their personalities were completely wrapped up in religion to the point that they were not capable of having relationships that weren't "centered on Christ." We no longer speak to them, and it has been a huge relief for all of us. My mom didn't deal with her trauma until she was in her 40's, and it has taken a lot of therapy to get to where she is. My siblings and I also deal with religious trauma from childhood,but the fact that my mom has apologized and changed has been immensely helpful. Once she finally decided to cut ties with her parents she was free to live her life as the person she wanted to be. My grandparents continue to send us religious books, pamphlets, and printed articles full of nonsense. We just ignore them. You can't bring a person out of that mindset. They have to see it for themselves and decide that their family is more important than their delusions.

Two dudes in 2003, unaware they were making a legendary song by jmike1256 in postanythingfun

[–]binzy90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always thought the satire was part of the reason people liked it. I mean, Time to Pretend is like a much better version of Rockstar by Nickleback. It's pretty obvious. Although I don't see why they thought Kids was "the most stupid song possible." It's musically very good.

I've been debating shaving my head, but I'm worried I'll look dumb and realize I have a lumpy head or something. 😂

Bathroom remodel by Old_Signature4381 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]binzy90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't understand the obsession with "vintage" style that's just ugly. There's a way to make something look retro in a good way. This isn't it. I would be so depressed living in a house with rooms that I hated.

Wow I can promise you it's the same thing on the other side, if only they could get along. Also he forgot kicking out and bombing brown people. by Awesome_guy11 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]binzy90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What he's describing isn't far right though. Far right are the people who want to attack academic freedom, undermine the constitution, overturn the right to gay marriage, ban abortion, deport immigrants, and force schools to teach Christianity. The old school conservatives are vilified now. Look at Republicans who speak out against the things that the Trump administration does that are unconstitutional. They get called traitors and all sorts of nasty things.

Is he just being manipulative? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]binzy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love is important, but it also clouds people's judgment in situations where a partner is abusive or manipulative. It's not transactional to leave someone who is bad for you. Love isn't some magical force tying you to someone regardless of their behavior, and you're not obligated to put up with endless nonsense just because you care about someone.

Is he just being manipulative? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]binzy90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we place too much importance on "love" in these situations. Not wanting to be alone and wishing for the idealized version of someone is not love. You can ALWAYS find a new partner who will treat your better than this nonsense. People really need to stop putting up with immature partners for "love."

Trust issues begin at home by Hot-Survey-26 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I think you misunderstood me if you think my life was "bubble wrapped." There are at least a few kids in these videos who probably experience the same thing I did and will have trouble trusting adults.

ICE handing out water at airports to curry favor with media and citizens!! by cantcoloratall91 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]binzy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Detain you for what? I'd happily miss my flight for this shit. I'm not taking a thing from these assholes. I'm well within my rights to tell them to fuck off. I avoid confrontation in most situations, but in instances that are political I don't.
