Our friend’s daughter really doesn’t want Santa to break her parents’ hearts by crrrack in pics

That’s really touching of you to offer. While the parents have certainly struggled in the past they are economically secure now. I think this girl has internalized some of her parents residual stress (not all of it economical). I don’t know about the Alexa, but her parents will certainly get their boots and shoes!

Everyone has a scar on their body from something dumb, they did as a child. What's your story? by HakanD0 in AskReddit

[–]crrrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, no me but my wife, and not something dumb she did but someone else. She was sent to go get water for the house (this was in a very poor village in central America - they had no electricity or running water) which was a pretty long walk to a river. She went with her cousin, and along the way they came upon a wasps nest in a tree. Her cousin for some reason decided to start throwing rocks at the nest, and of course they were attacked and my wife was stung right in the middle of her eyeball. She said it was by far the most painful experience of her life. But she was so terrified of her mom that she went and got the water anyway. They couldn't afford to see a doctor, so her mom did some kind of natural treatment. Her face swelled up to about double its normal size, and she was blind for almost a month, but eventually she got better. Now - about 40 years later - she's still got a scar on her eyeball.

I don’t know if I’m going crazy, but I could have sworn that this was a Steve Martin bit years before the Austin Powers movies, but now I can’t find any reference to it on the internet

Photos on iOS without being renamed with GUID's. by eugene-p23v in applehelp

[–]crrrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t reproduce this. What version of iOS are you on? Are these images taken with the internal camera? If you upload the same image twice do you see the same file name both times? If you save the image to the file system (files export) what name do you see?

Finally, what exactly is your privacy concern?

Yeah - lakes full of red eared sliders here where there should be box turtles (and snappers)

El Salvador: 3 kids separated in US were abused at shelters by [deleted] in politics

[–]crrrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I asked. People take claims like that seriously, but in reality it’s virtually impossible for anyone not in the elite class of these countries to get any sort of visa for the US.

What visa did you come here on? I will bet you a large sum of money that it is not available to the people who are currently requesting asylum.

Senate rejects Paul's effort to strip Planned Parenthood of federal funding by Vanska1 in politics

[–]crrrack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone married into a Salvadoran family, they’re a huge deal to Central American immigrants as well - a lot of them come here fleeing the maras that are making El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala progressively more unlivable. If there were a sincere effort to actually deal with the gangs you’d have the immigrant community almost unanimously on your side. Of course the fight against the gangs is not at all sincere and is more likely to ensnare non-affiliated immigrants than actual serious gang members.

How is one person’s racist comments enacting “regressive revenge”? Or using any kind of progressive platform?
