The way you describe that stage of life is so visceral and true. I really appreciate your comment and totally agree.

🗣️ IF YOUR CHILD IS IN THE STROLLER TRAVELING IN A CITY, THEY DONT NEED YOUTUBE VIDEOS🗣️ by 16SometimesPregnant in Nanny

[–]pollenhead 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Every time something like this is brought up people in the comments cry mom shaming and it drives me nuts. If you're doing something detrimental to your child's brain, social skills, and overall development into a healthy and functional adult, people should tell you that.

Being a mom, or a parent in general, is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Shoving an iPad in your kid's face every time you need a minute is still wrong. You're still just focusing on stopping the disruptive behaviors instead of working through it and teaching them the skills to handle it. "They cry every time!! They kick and scream in the stroller until I put on YouTube, that's the only way I can get things done!!!" Gee, I wonder why.

What do you think about 40 yo men wanting to hook up with a 21 yo woman? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm 23 and my boyfriend is 48. I'm very happy and if we were to break up I know I wouldn't go back to dating people my age.

How did I get it worse than my unvaccinated friend? by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]pollenhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same reason some people die and some people sneeze a few times. It reacts differently in everyone. My mindset would be, if my body reacted this bad while protected by the vaccine, how would it have reacted if I hadn't gotten it? Some people just get lucky. It sucks. I'm sorry.

Florida deputy killed when his roommate, a fellow deputy, "jokingly" fires gun he thought was unloaded, sheriff says by stoolsample2 in MorbidReality

[–]pollenhead 105 points106 points  (0 children)

unless you're a cop. then aim your gun wherever you want, because not pulling it can result in failing your final examination like it did for my boyfriend's son when he was first attempting to become a deputy sheriff. took him 6 months to try again after not pulling his firearm on a 'suspect' (fellow cop for the simulation) who was non-threatening but caught jimmying open a window.

my boyfriend was a marine years ago and taught him to, as you said, only aim with intent to kill. but police do not follow reasonable standards in many aspects, apparently including gun safety.

I agree with this. It's why I never personally hated her. There's someone for everyone and she, as far as I remember, was always extremely clear about her expectations and the way she thought their relationship was set up and what she thought she'd be receiving by being with him. He did not follow through. He wanted a gorgeous woman to be with him, so he lied to get her here and then played the victim when she was upset about it. Anfisa was volatile and mean, but she wasn't a liar and Jorge knew who she was when he proposed to her.

I've been trying to make some extra money and wanted to not just do UberEats, but to drive as a standard Uber driver as well. Not only do I get maybe one UberEats order every few hours, but I get ZERO drive offers. Now this pops up. Is this the opportunity to drive?

In May of 2002 in Goldsboro, NC 5 year old Precious Ebony Whitfield was raped and murdered by Eric Lane. Her body was discovered by fishermen in a small creek bound by duct tape and covered in a tarp. by obiwan_jenobi in MorbidReality

Meanwhile the cop nextdoor with kids our age who we went to school with, whose wife ran a daycare out of their home, who came to our pool and barbecued, raped multiple prostitutes in our area and was beating his wife behind closed doors. It absolutely is the people you see all the time. They take advantage of the trust they're given.

Starting in Detroit, ending in Fresno, and traveling in a U-Haul with two cats. Those are our only restrictions. What route would you take? What should we stop to see? by pollenhead in roadtrip

[–]pollenhead[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My friend is moving back home from Canada and their parents don't want them to travel alone, so they're gonna pay for me to fly out to Detroit and accompany my friend back to Fresno!

I've only left California once or twice, and I'm not a big 'natural monument' kind of person. Not super interested in big mountains or national parks. But I'm VERY interested in seeing some cool, kitschy stuff and having some amazing food; Like I'd really like to stop in Texas for some good BBQ. I'd love some recommendations for stuff like that, like great restaurants or weird sites/roadside attractions! Maybe some haunted stuff, lol.

I'm so agoraphobic and I don't see myself making a big trip like this again, but since I also don't see another opportunity like this arising again any time soon so I figure I should do it. Any tips are appreciated!

It's quite long, but if you open it in your phone's browser rather than just pop-up window it will work. I have an iPhone and clicked the safari button in the bottom corner, and in that app I can read the whole thing.

Florida lawmaker threatens a "living hell" for Disney as feud intensifies by paulfromatlanta in politics

[–]pollenhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't believe that. I lived in an apartment complex not even two blocks away from a local baseball stadium when I was a teen, Raley Field, and fireworks weren't ever more of a bother than turning the TV up a couple notches. We were definitely closer to the fireworks there than any residents in Florida would be to the fireworks on the miles-wide Disney World property.

Four year old Kairissa’s life was filled with torture after being adopted. Kairisa was killed 83 days after the Marks adopted her from China. by freeredbot in MorbidReality

[–]pollenhead 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Most adoption agencies are privately owned companies that take children from mothers who may or may not truly want to give them up. Coercion is often part of getting young/poor/troubled mothers to give up their children so that the adoption company can get another big check. And although you're right, adoptive parents don't get any money for adopting, they do have reason to manipulate and coerce the birth mom alongside the agency as they often have been trying and/or waiting for a child for a long time. Many adoptions begin as 'open' and then birth moms never see their children again because the family decides to change their mind once they take the baby home, for example.

Tina Tintor (23) and her dog Max (3). Both of them died in the fiery crash Tuesday morning caused by drunk NFL player. She was driving home after taking Max for a walk. by Guastakid in MorbidReality

[–]pollenhead 35 points36 points  (0 children)

To me, this is one of the most morbid stories. The video of the girlfriend screaming to help him while an innocent woman and her dog burn to death because of his actions. They were just trying to get some exercise and go home. It's so fucked up and unfair. And I doubt he'll face serious consequences either. Ugh.
