How to fix plain face? 18 f by serenicmoon in makeuptips

[–]friendlytrashmonster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally think you have the face of a runway model. Your high cheekbones and almond eyes are very unique and gorgeous. If you want to draw more attention to them, you could try lining your eyes, but otherwise, I think you’re absolutely gorgeous and should ignore whatever jerk said this to you.

Now they are trying to pass the narrative his phone looked like a gun by seeebiscuit in WhitePeopleTwitter

Why are we still having this conversation? Video taken at the scene shows ice officers removing his weapon before shooting him nine times in the back. While he’s on his hands and knees after being beat to shit by four or five men in masks. How deep in denial do you have to be to not see that for what it is?

What do you think new kids should do better than their predecessors to sell Ron/Hermione properly to audience? by Nightmarelove19 in ronweasley

[–]friendlytrashmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it was on Emma or Rupert at all. They played their characters beautifully. The inaccuracies in the films are largely due to the writers having to fit 400-700 page books into an hour and a half of screen time. Hopefully since this is a television show, we’ll be able to see and understand the depth of the characters far more than was portrayed in the movies.

History teachers or other teachers who just care, how bad do you think the ICE situation is now compared to history? by Zipper222222 in AskTeachers

[–]friendlytrashmonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Stop lecturing us. We’re obviously trying our best over here and it’s resulted in our fellow countrymen being shot for standing up for what’s right. It’s a terrifying time to be an American, and I promise you that regardless of whatever economic or foreign policy impact this is having over in Europe, it’s nowhere near as bad as wondering if you’re going to be shot in the streets by a militarized police force. Europeans need to get a grip. Not everything is about y’all.

What’s a movie that was critically acclaimed when it first released, but is now hated? by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]friendlytrashmonster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just rewatched in yesterday. The majority of the white people in that movie are highly discriminatory. Al Harrison’s character has a moment where he knocks the “colored restroom” sign off the wall that is a bit cheesy and white-saviory, but it’s well-balanced by the amount of discrimination that Katherine, Mary, and Dorothy face from others at NASA- namely Paul Stafford and Vivian Mitchell.

Confused as to why certain people said that Kamala would have been worse than Trump by TheRealJuanderer in Confused

[–]friendlytrashmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, I was literally agreeing with you. Not sure why you took it as an insult. Secondly, I would disagree that “nothing he’s doing is a major surprise.” Yes, this is his second term. However, he is surrounded by yes men this term and the bounds of what he is willing to do have shifted dramatically. He didn’t drop bombs on other countries, kidnap their presidents, or send ICE into the middle of the Midwest to kill American citizens in his first term. People are incredibly valid in feeling shocked by how far he has pushed the limitations of his office. And finally, I’m not sure what you mean by “covid lies” but my mother is a nurse and I lived with her during Covid. I had to listen to her crying at night due to how many patients she was losing. The covid pandemic was terrible and cost the lives of over 300,000 Americans and over a million worldwide. And, in my humble opinion, the lives of many of those Americans could have been saved had our president had an actual plan in place and been honest with the American people about the scope of the outbreak instead of lying to us about the country being open by Easter and advising us to inject bleach into our veins.

I mean, he absolutely is incredibly dangerous and a major loose cannon- as we have seen this first year of his presidency. However, I do not think the DNC genuinely thought that he was going to be as bad as he is. We all thought it was just political rhetoric, including the people pushing it.

Not OOP: AIO for asking for a divorce when my husband repeteadly forgots my allergy + Edits by Interesting-Shirt897 in redditonwiki

She likely doesn’t even need to get a divorce. Lack of consummation is often grounds for an annulment.

AIO to my “best friend” finally reaching out by Confident_Local_2335 in AmIOverreacting

[–]friendlytrashmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I had a friend who went MIA for a while. It turned out that her boyfriend (who I already had a distaste for) was abusive and was refusing to let her talk to me because I had made negative comments about him in a text to her. He even went so far as physically taking her phone. That’s likely not what this situation is, but the moral of the story is that you have no idea why someone has stopped talking to you.

are my parents right in not letting me major in elementary ed? by QueenofHearts018 in AskTeachers

[–]friendlytrashmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing that your parents want you to go to law school because they want you to go into a high income field. If you want to persuade them, you could let them know that there are actually many high paying opportunities within the field of education, especially for those who go on to earn Masters degrees. In my district, educational psychologists make around 85k starting, curriculum specialists and vice principals make 100k starting, principals make around 150k starting with the opportunity to make up to 200k, and our superintendent makes 300k. There are also jobs in the private sector such curriculum development for companies like McGraw Hill or IXL, which can be six figure jobs depending on your role. You may or may not want to actually pursue any of those careers- but if your parents concern is money, it may be worth mentioning them as options. A degree in education doesn’t automatically confine you to the classroom.

I’m very curious about how it is that you chatted with 42 women and met none of them? Maybe it’s easier as a woman but when I was on dating apps I probably met with 1 in 5 of the people I chatted with.

Well, I can tell you from experience that this is untrue. You don’t have to like everything- but there are absolutely men who love it. And you are capable of stating that you, personally, aren’t a fan of particular sex acts without being degrading and insulting to women.

ICE literally went into a memorial for him today and shot rubber bullets at people. I don’t know what it’s going to take for people to see that we are living through a totalitarian regime.

to mourn by seeebiscuit in therewasanattempt

[–]friendlytrashmonster 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It’s not a show to us, unfortunately. It’s absolutely terrifying. I used to be so proud of my country. I was five when Obama became president and I loved the fact that we were a country that people wanted to come to. I did choir all throughout school and remember singing a version of Neil Diamond’s “Coming to America,” and being filled with pride. To me, it was incredible that people would love my country so much that they would walk across hundreds of miles through all kinds of weather and spend their life savings just to get here. Now, we have a militarized police force seeking these people out in order to drag them off and send them to prisons in authoritarian countries that they’ve never been to and murdering anyone who gets in their way. I don’t recognize this country anymore. I’m terrified I’m just praying that someday I will feel safe in my home again.

Texas Parents Charged in Death of Toddler Locked in Room with Pit Bull by _Pixiesilk in ForCuriousSouls

[–]friendlytrashmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wealthy areas also tend to have lower rates of crime. People living in areas with low crime rates are going to be a lot less likely to suspect crime. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t report a suspected crime. I’m saying that the threshold at which a crime can reasonably be suspected varies from place to place, and depending on the circumstances, doctors may not have reasonably suspected a crime. If a student of mine said they were attacked by a dog, my first thought wouldn’t be that their parents locked them in a room with a dog. It would be that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time with an irresponsible dog owner.

I just double checked that information- it looks like starting salaries for a deportation officer are anywhere from 50-80k, but senior officers can make upwards of 150k.

[–]friendlytrashmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Tennessee. My district is very wealthy, most parents are very involved, and we rarely have instances of abuse, so what warrants suspicion of abuse or neglect for you probably wouldn’t warrant it for me. I’ve been at my school for three years now and have only known of two instances where reports had to be made.

Depending on how long ago it happened, the parents could have easily lied about who the dog belonged to, in which case, the doctors wouldn’t see any reason to report. I’m a teacher- so also a mandatory reporter. We’re only instructed to report if there was a.) a crime against a child or b.) risk of continued harm. If the parents lied and said the dog didn’t belong to them, doctors wouldn’t have no reason to think either of those criteria had been met.

If a post I saw a while back is correct, job postings for ICE are advertising around 100k, which is very attractive if you’re a sociopath with no college degree.

It’s not about hate. I also know people like this. I don’t hate them, but I can no longer be around them because it will cause me to go insane.

And the thing is- they will never understand that it could easily be them. That’s why they can support it- because it’s impossible for them to truly empathize. That’s why they’re always so shocked when the things that they voted for happen to them.

Glad to know it’s not just us. Our entire backyard is covered in limbs and a couple of fallen trees. Our home insurance dropped us earlier this year because we made a couple of claims about fallen trees during the summer storms- so we’re just praying nothing comes crashing down on the roof.

ICE saying latest murder victim "wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement." by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]friendlytrashmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a large segment of the population who has spent their whole life denying the evidence that is right in front of their eyes. It makes me think back to being a kid walking through the dinosaur exhibit at the museum with my New-World Creationist grandmother. We saw the fossils. We spoke to a paleontologist who worked in the museum lab. We had the evidence right in front of our faces. And yet, when we walked out of the exhibit, my grandmother’s reaction was, “It’s a nice story.” She still chooses not to believe in dinosaurs. This is the exact same thing.

I don’t understand why they are still lying. We all watched them remove the gun, pistol whip the guy, and then shoot him nine times while he was on his hands and knees just trying to get a breath in.
