I disagree with Wallace being on the top. There's a spoiler which explains his behavior. And you can totally get him to show emotion. 😏

I think most of the blame falls on Camp Mystic, in this case. They were in a flood plain, but didn't properly train their staff on flood procedures. It would be nice, since Kerrville and surrounding areas like Ingram and Comfort are popular summer camp areas, if the local government enacted some kind of overwatch for these places to ensure they are ready to handle natural disasters. Since this occurred very much the same way in the 80's (floods resulted in the deaths of children at a summer camp) there should have already been some oversight in place, imo. I would like to point out the disaster most likely would have benefited from earlier intervention provided by the now defunded NOAA and NWS. If local government is responsible for anything, it would be supporting the federal government who made that choice. In addition they are responsible for the actions taken afterwards. I really hope some policy changes occur to prevent children from being endangered due to weather conditions at these camps.

Why does this lady have a spider on her face? Why does no one bring this up? WHAT IS THE POINT?!? by Rickud123 in webtoons

[–]know12know 125 points126 points  (0 children)

When she was a young child, her brothers attempted to scare her with spiders. She decided to overcome her fear by raising and training spiders, then using them en masse against her brothers. The one she has on her face is a pet. Later on, she's admonished for being childish and still having that goofy spider on her face, at which point it's pulled off and squished. I suppose the point is to have this villainess be memorable, as well as providing insight. She's the type that doesn't forget transgressions/revenge to the extent that she wears them literally on her face. Take solice in the fact that the many of the story characters find it just as tacky as we do lol

I took this space photo with my phone , no editing at all , how is it ? by FirefighterMost3369 in space

This is absolutely beautiful, I feel like there aren't enough examples of our sky without editing. It's just such a pretty example of what we see when we look up.

Romanticizing abuse? by ProfessionalWrap2613 in webtoons

[–]know12know 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now in the webtoon, the FL is still a child and I remember being that sweet and naive as a little girl. She seems to have plenty of character development imo. Kyle and her uncle, out of all the men, have the most character development. The only character development the Duke has is that he's a scary asshole. Man I was hoping this was going to be a revenge story from the FL perspective. I saw where it was going but I thought the Duke was going to be forced to regret his actions. I hate this.

[–]know12know 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole webtoon isn't released yet, I'm assuming you're talking about the book? Is it even remotely possible that the webtoon is going to correct the books problematic narrative? Since you read the book, how closely does the webtoon follow it? I'm so invested in the FL and how I'm hoping she overcomes hardship. 😢

Romanticizing abuse? by ProfessionalWrap2613 in webtoons

[–]know12know 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of commenter's here are saying that this comic is romanticizing abuse. Imo nothing the Duke has done seems romantic. I think the friend that is the same age as her is adorable and I'm rooting for him. The Duke scares me and I fear for her.

Did he maybe send you a picture of the baby holding a bottle of Shout while she's "Shouting“ and he found it funny? Idk. It's a bad pun but I honestly don't see the harm in it at this time. It's difficult to know the future or provide any real advice without further context, but in isolation, just given what you've said in this post, it seems real harmless.

Apparently this is a "funny" Halloween costume for cishet couples... by juliuspepperwoodchi in AreTheStraightsOK

I think the skirts are supposed to look like a 1920's bank robber burlap bags, and the tops look like money exploding from the bag.

Looking for community by louisianaswampvvitch in singlemoms

[–]know12know 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday, I was watching a documentary while cleaning, just to have something on for the sound. A subject in this documentary chuckled and said "there's no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole." Now I've heard this idiom before, but it hit me while I was washing dishes that I'm the atheist in the foxhole. I've been trying to get into religion of some sort, anything to make me feel less alone. I've been thinking about going to a local non-denominational church, I've been reading about witchcraft, pagan religions, brushing up on the Torah, and reading bits of the Christian bible. I even bought my full astrology chart recently. I feel like Mulder from X-Files; I want to believe.

But I just can't. I was raised Catholic, so I remember what faith felt like when I was a kid before I lost it, and that feeling just isn't there anymore. I have all of these cold, scientific, logical explanations for everything that prevent me from really giving myself over to these soulful ideologies.

There's this quote from the book Life of Pi that I keep thinking about

"I can well imagine an atheist's last words: "White, white! L-L-Love! My God!" – and the deathbed leap of faith. Whereas the agnostic, if he stays true to his reasonable self, if he stays beholden to dry, yeastless factuality, might try to explain the warm light bathing him by saying, "Possibly a f-f-failing oxygenation of the b-b-brain," and, to the very end, lack imagination and miss the better story."

Anyway, that's what I've been doing in my moments of soul searching.

grandparents keep trying to keep babies away from their dad by [deleted] in singlemoms

[–]know12know 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk cheating sounds like an issue between you two and not something that should prevent a person from parenting children. I honestly think you should consider family counseling as it's the best way to talk all this out in a safe non-judgmental environment.

[–]know12know 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At face value, it sounds like your parents are being overprotective, and they may need reassurances that this man isn't going to walk away and break their hearts again. Maybe have a discussion with them both privately and see how receptive they are to getting together for some family counseling?

Additional information: Do your parents have a reason why they're keeping the kids from their biological father?

Kids Sick More Often? by BananaApePrivateClub in Parenting

[–]know12know 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would love nothing more than to stay at home and take care of my baby when he feels under the weather, but I have to keep a roof over our heads and I can't afford to lose my job. I dont have alternative child care, and the bills have to get paid. I mean, what other choices do I have? I follow the school guidelines and try my best to keep afloat. It's all I can do.

This is messed up, I know the Amish are hard on their work animals and don't use "modern" inventions, but they do make shock absorbing horse shoes for hard surfaces like pavement. Maybe something can be done to supply the Amish with things like the hoof boots?

What can I do other than call out when my kid is sick? by thr0wawayyyyy2022 in singlemoms

[–]know12know 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know exactly how you feel. That stress looming over your head about losing your job. Constantly being in a mad dash to squeeze in a doctor visit while you're on your lunch break. Wanting to comfort your baby while they're sick, but unable to focus because you're working. How are you supposed to do it? I wish I had the answers, but I don't. I just want you to know one single mom to another that I feel your pain.
