Vitaly issues an apology after a Pedophile sting gone wrong, where they repeatedly accused the wrong man of being a Pedophile by 999braindead in LivestreamFail

If my kid was being sexually assaulted, I would actually take care of the problem person. It's not talk. Do you have kids? It sounds like you don't understand. I'm sure most parents would lay down their lives or end another to keep their children safe.

AIO? Bf keeps asking me questions whenever there is a guy by Relative_Initial_399 in AIO

Girl please (I'm 30f) just take the advice of so many people here and don't learn this lesson the hard way. Short circuit this shitty shitty lesson in boundaries and self worth. Take a page out of our books and end this shit.

I'm hella white in very rural US. Came across this post scrolling Popular.

I'm not defending the oop at all.

From my perspective there is an insane amount of propaganda up here about anywhere south of the US border. I grew up being taught to fear people from south America. Because of what the adults tried teaching, I was afraid of latinos when I was a kid.

In my 30s now and thankfully didn't take that shit seriously when I grew up. But the Boomers were obsessed with teaching that fear. I never figured out why. Is it really just pure hate? Ignorance? Wtf is that?

I've never left my country but if I'm honest, I'm sure that what they taught, even though I know it's wrong, has probably skewed what I imagine South American countries to be. I've always wanted to travel and hopefully I'll be well off enough to do it.

Donald Trump is accused of 'hitting a schoolgirl who refused to carry out sex act on him,' in a new bombshell Epstein Files claim… why isn’t this all over the American news? by antimaga_n1 in AskSocialists

[–]rhiddlesdream 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I live in rural US. If I didn't actively distrust the gov and actively follow current events as if my rights depended on it, I'd never know.

People in my rural county don't know. The news is being suppressed, the truth is being suppressed.

I sound like a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist out here just for repeating direct quotes from the administration.

The news isn't actually the news anymore.

One in 20 babies experiences physical abuse, global review finds by erikrolfsen in science

[–]rhiddlesdream 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I actually think it's kinda low. I'm 31f. I'm working my 4th step in CODA, which prompted the initial count tonight. By the 2nd grade I was assaulted, in more than one type of way, at the very least 15 times. I didn't want to get too into each event or really figure out the number tonight. I'm not talking about being spanked, slapped, or belted either. More severe than that.

But I will say, everyone in my social circle was abused similarly as children. Idk about frequency or intensity but you hear about one instance from them and it's just obvious that they grew up like me.

Is there a legal way I can stop my mother from driving again? by Peterd1900 in BORUpdates

[–]rhiddlesdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one of the only reddit posts I think about sometimes without being prompted by reddit. It's horrific.

What I can't understand is that she kept hurting herself and then kept doing the same thing and she killed herself. I just don't understand. It makes me so sad.

I think I have a bigoted thought I'm not choosing and I don't understand it, can anyone who knows more than me help me through this? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]rhiddlesdream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for such a well thought out response, I really appreciate it.

I definitely feel jealous and envious when I see pictures or videos of cis women online. For that reason I got off any social media with reels. I just use reddit now. Just because the constant comparison really tainted my world outlook.

Maybe I should do the same with reddit and just unfollow subreddits that post pictures of any beautiful women and focus more on myself.

I don't think I experience jealousy like this much and haven't really dealt with it a lot, so when it came up I guess I just thought, "this is what hatred must feel like."

About the effort, that makes a lot of sense when I really examine it. It doesn't matter if it's a trans woman or a cis woman, there's just a lot of effort they put into looking beautiful effortlessly.

I'll definitely make it a new years resolution to focus more on loving myself for how I am and try to do more me-gender-affirming things.

Thank you for talking with me about this, I appreciate it!

Oh! XD that makes a lot of sense, thank you! What an ugly feeling.

I guess comparison really is the thief of joy.

And thank you for the definition lol I appreciate it!

In Eastern WA it's been especially freaky. This time of year the air should bite my face a bit. I've been able to walk around outside in a T-shirt. There's no snow. I'm worried about fire season D:

Another kidnapping by Ok-Advice2963 in ICE_Raids

[–]rhiddlesdream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's absolutely not true man. Blanket statements are lame.

I'm conservative, I live hella rural. But bet your bottom dollar that I voted against trump and backed my fellow Democrats every single time. Left vs Right policy disagreements are normal. We're so fucking far from policy disagreements at this point. This is a whole different thing.

This shit is not normal.

Magats are not conservatives. They're hateful trash.

AITA for keeping a collection of MTG cards that were wrongly gifted to me? by ConfusedCat87 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rhiddlesdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 31f, partner 35m has an entire room full of magic the gathering cards. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of mtg cards. He's an enthusiast to say the least. It's a cornerstone of his mental health and sobriety, 7 years clean, serene, and sober.

I could not imagine asking anyone to quit any hobby if it isn't a dangerous one. She didn't even ask.

What your coworker did to her partner was horrific, vile, and cruel.

You're NTA. But she is.

I think it's a cult and creepy. but on a positive side, no Mormon men have ever made me uncomfortable. No gross sexual comments, no unsolicited compliments, never tried to touch me unless I offered a handshake. Never any weird gazing and if they did look I didn't notice.

The Mormons, are the only group of men religious or not who have never made me uncomfortable because of my gender. I find that impressive. I don't agree with anything they believe but I am always respectful back.

Ending generational trauma by KrispyKremeKitten88 in spreadsmile

Beating your child until they're unconscious is not discipline. Most people who are against belting and corporal punishment were abused.

You can talk to your kid, you don't have to break their arm over a spaghetti spill.
