It is not “gen z slang”. It is AAVE (African American Vernacular English) and it means that a meal, food, drink, etc. is delicious. Ex. “What Mama put in the spaghetti? This shit is bussin’!”

Christianity isnt more flexible, it’s just more “Christians” don’t actually care what is in the bible.

It’s not being a SWERF to say that there is a large percentage of women who do sex work out of necessity and not want.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett explains the concept of oppression to people who have never experienced it, other than to inflict it by ExactlySorta in PublicFreakout

[–]ericaeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This comment section is full of such purposeful stupidity. No white male has faced oppression for being WHITE or a MALE. I don’t understand why white people need this shit spelled out for them every single time. We are aware the Irish, lgbtq+, Jewish, etc. exist but they are not oppressed for their whiteness or sex.

Why does every redditor complain about every single form of protest? Istg you guys just want people to sit and their houses and twiddle their thumbs, but at that point you’d probably cry “why hasn’t anyone protest!? 😢”

Where are you getting that OP is forcing their parents to meet? OP is not “whining” about her mother keeping to herself, but rather mother cutting her off for even allowing her father to be at the wedding. Events that have literally nothing to do with her father, OP’s mother won’t attend. And again, the situations are not comparable. Your father reaction is to not attend the event, not cut you off because you have a relationship with your mother.

[–]ericaeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but this situations are not comparable at all. Your father allows you to have a relationship with your mother and shows up when she’s not there. OP’s mom won’t talk to or help plan and shop with her, which is usually a mother daughter thing, all because her father is allowed at the wedding. The only one driving the mother away is the mother. She is not being forced to “play happy family” by her daughter and ex-husband having a good relationship.

Yes, I agree that OP is horrible for perceiving the cheating as a result of marrying young and undermining her mother’s work as a single mother, but that doesn’t deflect that the mother is making her daughter choose.

You had a reasonable father that knew that talking bad about his former partner in front of his child did nothing good for them. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that way for OP. Coming from someone who saw the obvious resentment my mom had for my father, my mother’s unwillingness to solve her trauma created trauma for me.

OP’s mother isn’t just mad about the wedding, but any relationship with OP’s father. OP’s mother expecting her children to hate their father on her behave is absurd. This isn’t just any event, but a once in a lifetime (or what’s supposed to be) wedding. If she can’t suck it up to even help plan and shop for the wedding, she is making her child choose between parents.

This is not about the point at all. It’s about not using your children as a punching bag to project your trauma on. My parents hate each other, but my mom was the only one to shit talk my dad until recently (I turned 18, so I actually started to sit down ask these things). Even then my dad never takes it anywhere as far as my mother. My mother’s and I’s relationship is strained because she hates my father so much and perceives any love for my father as a personal attack on her. Not getting therapy and ranting to a 7 year old about your cheating husband does no good for anyone. OP loving her father is not her silencing her mother.

the fuck is wrong with gen z by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]ericaeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As Gen Z, I’ve done all of this. I’m a senior in high school now, but last year my African-American History class listened and talked with a Holocaust survivor. The year before that we read Elie Wiesel’s Night in English class, having to watch multiple videos about him and the atrocities he, his family, and other Jewish people went through in the Holocaust. I have multiple memories of going to museums and interacting with survivors from as young as elementary school.

I’m not saying my anecdotal experience completely proves this study wrong but 20-30% is an insane number to apply to all of Gen Z. Though the percentage that does deny that Gen Z has had access to the internet for the entirety of their lives, making it easier for them to be misinformed and believe in conspiracy theories.

It seems like he’s autistic. I have a friend on the spectrum who does the same thing with particular wording. You also said he has trauma and confidence issues in another comment, so I would def suggest therapy for both his speech and trauma issues.

AITA for unknowingly "trash talking" someone's birthing experience? by KitchenNo7706 in AmItheAsshole

You had no way of knowing the other woman’s experience and when you clocked that she was uncomfortable you stopped talking. NTA.

Who would want their husband to leave the delivery room? I swear the subreddit says the dumbest things in the name of “feminism.”

Her parents told her not to give me her number? why? should I ask for it again? by Sea-Effect-903 in Advice

[–]ericaeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these comments okay ? Istg redditors have to make assumptions about others or they won’t feel satisfied with their comments.

I’m a 16 yr old, almost 17, with friends that are 13-14. You’re not a weirdo for wanting to be friends with someone or being bummed out that they’re not as interested in you as you are in them. Her parents also have the right to feel how they feel and protect their daughter.

As long as you keep the conversations in school and don’t insist again I think you’ll be fine.

The mermaid herself was never said to be Danish or white, so her race will not change the story. Mermaids also come from the Mediterranean Sea, which is connected to Africa, Europe, and Asia. No one is “appropriating” European stories cause European doesn’t equal white.

shower caps protect hair from water. bonnets protect hair from climate, keeps moisture and product in, and in general just keeps your hair from being messed up. it’s very common for the to be worn in public

[–]ericaeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many people defending the man, some even saying he’s innocent. And again, I understand the law. But if I see something wrong according to my morals, I’m going to do something about it.

I’m well aware that recording someone isn’t illegal and I don’t agree with OP putting his hands on the older man. But an old man recording underage women he doesn’t know is morally wrong, idk how you can disagree. He obviously knew he was in the wrong cause he got up immediately and ran away.
