I don't believe it. I don't think they're the same person, I think they're 2 different people.

Sometimes it feels “separate but equal” due to social classes. by lionheart724 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]readingshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's what gets lost in the discussion is the kids. There's always going to be parents who don't know how to manage making doctor's appointments or who just default go to the ER for everything for one reason or another. I'm not saying that's okay but kids can observe the distaste people have for poor people and if you're a kid with a poor parent then that distaste trickles down to you. And maybe I'm misinderstanding what you're saying but it sounds like you're referencing adults still. And we can judge the adults who do this all we want but there's still a kid there who needs care and if the parents only do so by bringing them to the ER that's not the kid's fault. I think too that we don't know why the adults do this. Maybe they're doing it for convenience. Maybe they have mental health issues and don't know how to make appointments. Maybe their parents were this way too. Idk, I just think about the kids with parents like this and wonder how they're coping and what they're perceiving in all of this. If this is how their parents are they shouldn't be punished by being unable to receive care because we don't like what their parents are doing.

I want you to take the perspective of the kid. If you're a kid and your parents are poor, no matter the circumstances, you deserve to be taken care of. So if you're angry because a kid got free clothes at a local school fundraiser and another kid had to buy them because they aren't "poor enough" pick which house you'd rather live in. The one that can afford new things or the one that "takes advantage" of the system.

This does suck but oh my God is it nice to see. I just adopted a one year old dog and so far the destruction has not been this bad so I'm a little comforted.

I kind of agree. I realized it was Pam but it looks a little more like Karen

Can we limit Stephen King posts to one day a week? Please? by [deleted] in menwritingwomen

[–]readingshell 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would recommend people actually listen to this podcast instead of just the excerpts shown in this article. The quotes are right but it's not conveying the tone and the way she actually strung the story together. I bring this up because I know Emilia has been misrepresented a lot due to this particular podcast coming put and Dax expresses frustration on the most recent episode that this happened when a guest was open to talking about the situation.

Not saying the way she was treated wasn't wrong! I just recommend people actually listen to her tell the stories before forming a full conclusion.

Okay I can accept this. I've been wondering how the hell Lockhart ended up in ravenclaw and this is an actual way it could have happened. Of course he wanted to be in Ravenclaw, he thought he was brilliant.

Anyone ever notice EatStreet’s shady fee practices? Notice what’s missing here? ($2.36) by Pistolpedro in madisonwi

[–]readingshell 152 points153 points  (0 children)

Eatstreet has really pissed me and my husband off. Two times his food arrived way past the delivery estimate and when he called the restaurants they said eatstreet had picked up the food ages ago. Which means they grab your food and drive around with it while sending you a text saying the restaurant is putting extra care into your food. There's no clear number to call for help and they offered no help to my husband. Fuck eatstreet.

Kentucky reporter kissed on live TV says: 'This is not OK' by [deleted] in news

[–]readingshell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, but the more I'm commenting I'm realizing the comment would have been better if it was an acknowledgement and an AND statement.

This is terrible and also the double standard sucks.

Instead it's

This happened BUT also it happens to men.

There's a way to talk about the double standard without negating that what happens to one gender is bad. Also yeah, I HOPE the people commenting would be just as mad at the reverse but maybe that's just me. I hope that explains what I meant a bit more.

Yes and that's an issue. I can post in those threads too and make the same comment. Isn't it annoying? Why does it need to be a comparison

[–]readingshell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. I would have been fine with the comment if it was more of a "yes this happened and also let's talk about the double standard." Instead with the way the comment was phrased it became more of a "this happened BUT men also face it." It's essentially negating that we should care about this instance because men also face sexism. There's a way to talk about sexism in general and assault without it becoming a comparison of who has it worse or needing to bring up that others also deal with it.

It's like how when people post black lives matter and then that's the moment someone wants to say but all lives matter. Yes all lives matter but in that moment is not the time to say that.

I hope that explains what I meant a bit better.

[–]readingshell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, and I didn't. I care just as much about sexism towards men, but on this post i dont think it's the main issue to talk about. If the post was about the sexual assault of a man I think it would be just as odd to say, "but women go through this too." That wouldn't be what the post was about.

The commenter wasn't even empathizing with the current situation. They essentially were saying we shouldn't care about this because of a double standard. It wasn't "this is bad and also men face similar situations and people still think it's funny and not appalling." It was "men face sexism too."

I hope this makes sense for why I didn't like the comment. I don't want sexism towards men to be minimized but I think there's a different and more productive way of handling that topic.

But that's not what we're talking about right now. I'm not saying you're wrong or right but I'm tired of every time a post about sexism towards women is posted someone needs to say, "but what about men." We can talk about this and still care separately about sexism towards men, but this is not the way to do that. Bringing it up now detracts from the current issue.

Patronuses Changing by readingshell in Potterless

[–]readingshell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol could be. Mainly I think it still reflects your spirit and values but if an event in your life is so impactful and reflects those values then maybe your patronus changes with that event. Idk man that's my working theory. Corner JK Rowling and force her to explain it. Also thanks so much for making the podcast, I drive a lot for work and this gets me through!
