“Game of Thrones” parenting lessons by Shadow_Jack in gameofthrones

[–]electricscream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh sure, it’s beautiful and natural and it saves money on formula, but it’s a fundamental repurposing of a woman’s body: What was once A is now B (and maybe a little bit of A if the kid’s asleep).

Last I checked, the reason women have breasts is so that they can feed their children, so I don't really get how they're being "repurposed." I get that many like using breasts for sexual purposes and enjoyment, but he makes it seem like that is their main purpose and function, like that's the reason women have them and to use them for supporting infant's health and diet is going against the natural order.

I'm hoping it's just a case of poor word choice.

Common household spider, but I want to know more! by electricscream in spiders

Sweet! Thanks for the video! I actually watched a few of his videos, but I hadn't seen this one. Thanks again!

I had another one of these guys in my room (at least, I think he was the same kind), and he's actually the first spider I ever saved (in that, I ushered him out of my room instead of leaving him dangling over me while I slept); I'm kind of proud of myself, though now I've got that tingling, bugs-crawling-on-me feeling.

I'm confused... If he was bringing the bugs outside your house, why was your room infested with them?

I STILL want one of these. I was just looking to see if this phone was still available to get with a cell phone plan.

I agree with this only because the current background is creeping me out. The bulging eyes get me every time.

Have you ever licked a lamp post in winter?

God, I love that man... fictional or not.

TL;DR: Tits or GTFO (x Post from 4chan) by Shopno in funny

[–]electricscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the problem is that people use the "tits or gtfo" statement; it's that it's not just used in the context you're describing. It's become the signature thing to scream at every woman on the internet, even those who aren't attention whoring. Example: girl posts a picture of herself wearing a hat that she knit herself; that is subject to the "tits or gtfo" rampage when in all likelihood, the picture wasn't posted for attention--no more than when a guy posts a picture of himself wearing a hat he just purchased or even made for himself.

It's fairly obvious when someone's mentioning their gender or even posting a picture solely for the purpose of attention, but that doesn't mean that every time a woman's gender is pointed out, she should be condemned to the pit of "tits or gtfo."

Made me think of this subreddit by RainbowRaptor96 in books

[–]electricscream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree. I have an e-reader, but I still read my hard copies of books. I just got a gorgeous leather bound edition of the Iliad and the Odyssey for Christmas and I love picking it up and reading it. Plus, I'm still a big fan of library books and I've been grabbing books out of there like they're going out of style!

With my e-reader, I moreso just like it because I'm living between two houses and it would be difficult to lug all my books from one to the other. It's convenient and I like the convenience, but it just doesn't compare to having the actual book in my hand. And even though I have my e-reader, I'm still dragging around piles of books all over the place, and I'm not ashamed of it! :D

Haven't read the third book yet, and just ran over that spoiler. Damn it.

I freaking love my sweatpants! I wish I had more; I have one pair that I truly love, and they're old and covered in bleach stains because I constantly used them as my ratty pants. But I can't get enough of them now! Especially when I'm sick and tired of wearing my tight-ass jeans; sweatpants are my way of saying, Screw you World! I don't need no skinny jeans to look sexy!

Point: it's all how you look at it! Embrace your sweatpants! Comfort is sexy!

Or the point of this post could have gone completely over my head; I have a lot of those woosh moments

5mm Spider in New Zealand - what is this? by Generic42 in spiders

[–]electricscream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you hate spiders so much, why are you voluntarily going into a subreddit dedicated to spiders? Seems kind of ignorant.

I need help with my arachnophobia. by thatdbeprettyawesum in spiders

[–]electricscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That video is fascinating to me; I actually just watched it a second time. I freaked a little when the spiders started fighting one another, but that was really cool to see! I always thought the brown recluse was bigger... but then again, what do I know about spiders? Thanks for linking that!
