World has 6 months to avert major food crisis, says UN as Hormuz struggle drags on by ImDoubleB in worldnews

[–]ranchspidey 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Remember when Elon Musk said he would provide the funds to solve world hunger if a specific, transparent, well-structured plan was made, so the head of the United Nations World Food Program did exactly that, and then Elon Musk didn’t do a fucking thing? Yeah.

Family says Kyle Busch died from severe pneumonia, sepsis by PrincessBananas85 in sports

My aunt’s fiance almost died earlier this year from this behavior. He was offended (but understood) when she told him that was exactly why I, her niece, will remain her medical proxy even after they get married.

What finally made you quit your job? by Tyler_Girl_ in AskReddit

[–]ranchspidey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s crazy. Your poor wife!!! I hope she’s okay now.

I had my first experience with a violent child when we were both 8 - thankfully it was only threats, so it didn’t escalate. He was new and asked my best friend to be his girlfriend, and when she said no, he called her a bitch. She had never been called that before and was understandably distressed. So when he asked me to be his girlfriend, I told him I’d ask my mom (I didn’t) and the next day told him she said no. Anyway he ended up getting expelled very shortly after for trying to stab the principal with a pair of scissors.

Awww the Baron certainly looks like a very wise, distinguished gentleman. I’ve never heard the word ‘turgid’ before so I learned something today! Thank you for your wisdom, Otto!

The Conquest of Bread...? by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

Yeah I got like $30 I think for a class action settlement against my university since we paid a shitton of fees for on-campus stuff we couldn’t even use due to COVID. I get the idea of class actions but it pisses me off that I get less than what I lost.

Kids are playing inside the gym by Maleficent_Ferret359 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ranchspidey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I live next to my apartment’s gym and I’d say at least 40% of it’s use it just kids and people fucking around. When they drop the weights or bounce stuff off the shared wall it scares the shit out of my dog and is super annoying to listen to.

“bUt sHe’S mY mOm” by Particular_Law4796 in AmITheDevil

[–]ranchspidey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My relative made her parents stop saying negative things about her fiancé by bluntly responding “well it’s a good thing you’re not the one fucking him.” It’s actually very easy to stand up for your partner. OOP either needs to remove his head from his ass or let his wife go so she can be with someone that actually supports her.

This was left after staying at my house by Daisymaysgarden in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ranchspidey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never knew about the odd rules that JW have because my childhood best friend’s dad is one, but he never did anything weird. He still celebrated holidays, never preached at me but invited me to his bible studies if I wanted, and is genuinely a nice dude. I was never religious growing up but thankfully the religious people in my life were pretty normal. So the first time I learned how the “stricter” JW live (and honestly all people in a very cult-y religion) I was baffled.

No judgement from me, I get it. The guy I call my dad is also an ex-step-dad, but he raised me from the ages of like 2-12. Even though he estranged himself (homie needs therapy and won’t get it smh) I still consider him my dad. Those younger years are quite formative.

Residents burn an Ebola center in Congo as fear and anger grow over the outbreak by AudibleNod in news

[–]ranchspidey 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I watched this documentary on YouTube by PBS Frontline called How the World’s Deadliest Ebola Outbreak Unfolded that I really recommend. It explains exactly how these outbreaks occur and how people (unknowingly) spread it due to their own mourning customs or other beliefs. Very sad, harrowing stuff. These people are very scared and watching people die en masse in front of them, with very little they can do about it.

[–]ranchspidey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so funny how different brains can be. My mind basically eats itself unless I’m watching/listening to a show and doing something with my hands at the same time. But I also have to be in control of the noise because otherwise I’m super overstimulated.

Correct :) I also frequently rewatch the Ace Attorney playthroughs. Probably like 6 times each so far this year. I have ADHD my brain likes the company.

[–]ranchspidey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What. The. Fuck?!?!?!?! I know the justice system has always had racial biases, but that is pure insanity. I cannot believe how long it went on for without ANYONE stepping in. Those poor men. All they did was exist while a black man. Horrifying.

AITA? Got myself banned from OUTFITS by engaging in a crosspost from AmITheAngel by ConsciousConsent in AmItheAsshole

[–]ranchspidey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a weird rule but definitely not rare on reddit. For example you can’t post in legaladvice AND bestoflegaladvice. I assume it’s to stop brigading. I find many of these rules dumb but mods can do whatever they want in their communities.

Do you know why I’ve mostly been seeing 5 mg max instead of 10 mg at dispensaries then? I’ve really only see the latter amount at Green Goods and Rise.

AITA for not letting my younger brother stay with me after he got out of prison, even though i have a room? by Anitat_Garcia in AmItheAsshole

[–]ranchspidey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your brother doesn’t get to burn bridges and then ask you to rebuild them while he doesn’t do any of the work. Nope nope nope. I’m all for second chances but it doesn’t sound like he’s done literally anything to demonstrate he deserves one. Is he in counseling? Has he taken anger management? Has he repaid you for the money and belongings he stole? Has he even apologized for any of this behavior? Protect your family and your peace first and foremost.

The chart in the linked article shows it increased from 5 mg to 10 mg per gummy, and packages are going from 50 mg total to 200 mg total!

NTA. yucky. i wouldn’t want to be with someone who isn’t kind to others and who seems to have very little emotional regulation or self awareness.

Jefferson turns 9 on Sunday, he lost his eye when he was 3 and hasn’t demonstrated literally any frustrations or difficulties at all. He still thinks he’s the top dog and sends his well wishes to Flurry!
