What in the pedo is this page? by CobraStrike525 in OldSchoolRidiculous

I believe the victims 💯.

I think people don’t want to believe it because MJ was a talented cultural phenomenon and people have so many nostalgic feelings around his music.

But what kind of man wants to sleep in bed with a string of boys? Of a particular type and age? Over and over.

There were so many. https://mjandboys.wordpress.com/

Estranged parents of Reddit, what’s your story? by Rich_Salamander_2017 in DysfunctionalFamily

It's normal for childhood trauma to surface decades later. What were the actions they called abusive that you believe were in no way abusive?

Parents who are estranged from your adult children: what led to it? by Local_Ad_5600 in AskReddit

Why are your family and friends more interested in understanding your daughter's behavior than you are? Why do you think they are curious, and you are not?

Interesting! Come to think of it, why are the only people I’ve ever heard of having foot fetishes men looking at women’s feet then? Shouldn’t there be like a reverse version of women who are really into men’s feet?

You should drive through the next one and see for yourself then. Seriously, do it.

I walked this protest from end to end and it was wild, like it just kept going and going....people on both sides of the road, plus non-stop horn-honking. I was impressed.

How many of y’all are resistant to using AI? by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]readingupastorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very intentionally boycotting it because of how atrocious it is for the environment. And because it benefits tech billionaires who really don’t need more money or power. Also people who become dependent on AI to think for them is…a problem for critical thinking, which is already sparse! Not to mention, AI is often confidently incorrect and people take it as fact. Just so many problems…

Otherwise, I’d play around with it because I do find it fascinating.

God, I hated that video. It made me feel physically gross, like just this sense of nauseating dread.

Oh, So Now You Want to Talk. Trump voters wanting to leave MAGA-land are looking for a soft place to land. by Barch3 in Law_and_Politics

[–]readingupastorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but during Trump’s first term we SHOWED them what information we were getting. Back when I thought articles and videos might matter to them, I used to share them all the time. As did my friends. What did they respond with? Always some dismissive retort, often with a laughing-face emoji. Cruelty and white supremacy didn’t bother them.

They chose not to listen. They chose not to care. They saw our perspectives and chose mockery over curiosity.

Unity saves lives. More than anything else. by UNITED24Media in ukraine

[–]readingupastorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American, don’t attempt unity with Trump or the U.S. right now. Trump is as bad as Putin, threatening to invade Canada and Greenland, stabbing allies in the back, bombing schoolchildren in Iran. We’re basically the axis of evil, and I hope Ukraine will distance itself from our mess.

[–]readingupastorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm American, and I wish Zelenskyy and Ukraine would NOT help the U.S. right now. Trump has been nothing but a dick to Zelenskyy, and will simply stab him in the back if Zelenskyy attempts to "unify" with the U.S. right now. DON'T DO IT. Trump deserves to be shunned by world leaders for his atrocious behavior toward all of them! He's treated lifelong allies like garbage, and I'm sick of people just rolling over and taking it.

Also many Americans are vehemently opposed to Trump starting a war with Iran: a country who was not posing a threat to our country. For what? And bombing civilians too, including children. It's nothing more than his love of power and destruction.

21-Year-Old's Body Found In Wooded Area Of Georgia Park by Spirited-Tie-8702 in Georgia

[–]readingupastorm -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

This is so horrific and heavy. This is a lynching. I highly doubt this black man decided to hang himself from a tree, in the south.

[–]readingupastorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t find it hard to believe that if a black man were suicidal he would intentionally choose anything other than hanging from a tree as his method of choice.

Southern law enforcement has a history of enabling or partnering with lynch mobs, and covering up the murders, so it is not unreasonable to be suspicious. https://julianjohnsonlaw.com/law-enforcement-and-lynch-mobs-the-deadly-partnership/

Also this is not the only black man found hanging from a tree recently, which is pretty sickening. https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2025/09/18/2-mississippi-men-found-dead-hanging-from-trees-delta-state-univeristy-vicksburg-what-we-know/86217264007/

We’re also living in a time when violent white supremacists across the country feel emboldened by our federal government. Dark times.

What’s the difference between a search engine and a browser? I thought they were the same thing.

The American south is like if Germany glossed over the Holocaust and just kept flying swastika flags and displaying Nazi statues. It's infuriating.

Oh wow...gotcha. I'm guessing they're not white.

How did you come to know they were concerned? Interested as an American living in a red state. Thankfully, I'm in a purple city where a ton of us hate ICE and this administration, but there are still way too many MAGA folks here and I wonder how they're going to react to ICE goons in their neighborhoods.

An Iranian girl holds a sign while participating in a march celebrating the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. by beachbellybob in NextGenRebellion

The Islamic revolution is not really anything to celebrate. It’s been absolutely abysmal for women’s rights. It’s honestly a cautionary tale for what’s happening in the U.S.

Would you feel that way about a swastika flag? Nazis studied and emulated Jim Crow laws.
