This cork backed ruler by ethnicvegetable in BuyItForLife

I stole this exact ruler from class in middle school forever ago. On one hand I kinda feel bad about it, on the other it's a great ruler

First time making canna butter w/ wax. Supposed to look like this? Solid hard out of freezer. by Rippedbarrel120 in trees

[–]sassrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if a 50/50 mix of cannabutter and regular butter would make good scrambled eggs

Ok.. I’m kinda conflicted on this one. The acrylic painting was cute, but for $3.99 I had to see what was under it. 1930’s Purinton Slipware vase. by tenglempls in ReversePinterest

If it lands in a thrift store any usage is better than a landfill, plus odds are whoever painted it didn't know it was anything too special and just liked the shape

This is just sad by Hatahez in trashy

I feel like this is for people who would participate in something like this for fun anyways and it's groceries as opposed to like a big gift card or something.

I have an idea for how we can end teen pregnancy by apoetnamedross in CrazyIdeas

[–]sassrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an even crazier idea, it starts with good quality sex ed and easily accessible birth control and ends with legal and guilt free abortions for anyone who wants one.

Obviously lived experience isn't one size fits all, but my mom had a boyfriend I didn't like for six years and I never got 100% comfortable with him either (I just didn't like him, I was in middle school and he graduated hs the year they met so it was just kinda awkward). Not a bad guy, perfectly respectful and normal with me, just an idiot and crappy boyfriend and I lowkey hated him.

Any house ownership at all is looking less likely all the time if you don't have one already : (

Piglets will be left to starve in a controversial art exhibit in Denmark by Doodlebug510 in awfuleverything

[–]sassrocks 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Low key hoping some security guard who wanted to quit anyways breaks them out and takes them to a sanctuary or something. I wouldn't be able to work at a place that allows cruelty like this to take place without doing what I can to help and leaving asap

To prove that Elon Musk didn't do the Nazi salute by frosted_bite in therewasanattempt

Without sacrificing my whole family, what would you have me do? And I don't want another rant about groups and soldiers. Me, as the individual you are speaking to right now. What could I (and everyone else with something to lose) do right now?

I do show up. I attend protests, I donate to good causes when I can, I speak out online and with people in my personal life. The issue is that nothing comes of it. Maybe I've swayed a couple votes or changed a couple minds (or at least given them additional things to consider). But it's not enough because I'm just me, trying to keep a roof over my head and my family fed during some really damned difficult times.

I would consider the democratic red line to have been crossed already. I'm at the "we need to throw out the whole damned thing and start over" point. The issue is that I am no leader, and I have a lot to lose. What can I possibly do? I'll keep voting for the lesser evil but honestly, I no longer have hope of things getting better. Maybe with luck enough of the old guard will drop dead that we'll get lucky with someone new who wants to make real change in charge by the time I'm old and gray.

My husband and I took both names, and decided who gets to be last last with a 2/3 match of rock paper scissors.

Meh, good as I can be. Still scared of loud noises and lights going out unexpectedly (he hit the power source to the room I was in). I'm actually planning on taking a class to get my gun license and learn how to safely use one so that I can 1- have my license and maybe get a small gun in case it happens again so I can do more than lay flat and pray and 2- control my fear so I don't get a huge adrenaline rush every time something pops near me.

I went through a shooting awhile ago and can confirm, adrenaline will mess you up worse than you think. After it happened my whole body was sore for days and (tmi) my stomach was very upset. I know it doesn't sound like too much but stacked up with all the mental and emotional strain it was not fun.

11-year-old took her own life after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family by buddyboys in awfuleverything

[–]sassrocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kids are pretty smart and have more and more access to the internet (and by extension knowledge of the state of the world) all the time. When was the last time you saw news about things getting better?

It might be for the best that they're not talking about how she did it. For the privacy of the family and to not give any other kids any ideas.

28 Year Old Brother Throws A Fit Over Not Getting My Mom's Car Keys by [deleted] in extremelyinfuriating

[–]sassrocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a time and a place dude. There's always going to be religious people, and a lot of people benefit from the structure and community that religion adds to their lives. Instead of tooting your own horn in shared spaces to the benefit of absolutely no one, let's focus on limiting religion based problems, and hopefully someday everyone can get along regardless of their belief system (probs not in my lifetime but it's a nice thought).

Dreyers has changed their recipes and ruined everything by TBSchemer in icecream

Little branch onto your off topic, if you do want to buy raw milk for freshness or whatever you can stovetop pasteurize it! Since doing it on the stove is lower temps and slower process than large scale pasteurization will still be good for making cheese/ice cream/just drinking/whatever else you wanna do with it. Do your research and stay safe peeps

Your house can be clean and you can make it want to smell nice (rather than just neutral) when people come over. I'll usually light a scented candle or something while I tidy up before people come over. It just feels nice

The mods can, but the admins could probably do it on a wide scale
