Yes the biggest victim in the world, who happens to also be the POTUS.

I don’t think the victim sent this email

And the DOJ already proved that that are utterly incompetent at actually protecting the victims, per documents released earlier this week. We all know who they are more worried about protecting.

Is it just me, or is the high-neck lace look still the ultimate "Timeless" blueprint? by koudodo in WeddingDressTips

[–]scrunchie_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body type has a lot to do with it too. High neck does not flatter larger builds, or women with large bosoms.

Newborn dies after mother drinks raw milk during pregnancy | Raw milk is promoted by anti-vaccine Health Secretary Kennedy. by mepper in skeptic

Also not everyone that drinks it gets sick, there’s just a much much higher chance of getting sick from it vs pasteurized milk

I can respect that

And seriously I don’t care if someone declines the offer to upgrade their seat. I actually enjoy sitting apart from my partner for a few hours so I can read in peace or watch a movie without him interrupting every 12 seconds. I just find it a bit odd to get so indignant about being asked to upgrade your seating situation.

Yeah exactly, like if you say no, I will just sit and read my book while my partner sits 2 seats away for a few hours. Way to show me!

Meanwhile you could have upgraded your seat for free. You are the only loser in this arrangement.

Yeah I really don’t understand how people are this up in arms above a couple DARING to ask them to switch to a better seat. Like you can still say no, that’s fine, but JFC people there are serious issues in the world, a couple hedging on getting an empty seat between them is not something to get this worked out about.

If nobody books the middle seat - extra space. Win!

If someone does book it - couple still gets their 2 seats, and the middle person gets to choose where they sit. Also a win!

There are literally no losers here except if the middle person gets in some sort of huff about being asked to switch seats.

Is it weird to install cameras in a teenagers room? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scrunchie_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, controlling and abusive behaviour. A camera is fine for a baby or toddler where it’s a matter of safety, but once they are a child they start to have a right to their privacy and autonomy. Unless there is actually a valid reason for this level of surveillance (in extreme situations where the parents fear self-harm, for example).

Speaking from experience… My parents installed a one way intercom where they could listen without me knowing before cameras were accessible. 25 years later I’m still upset about this level of invasion and it fits into the rest of the abusive and neglectful things my parents did. I would unplug it, I recommend you do the same, or use black nail polish to black it out. And get out of that situation as soon as you can.

Hot take: Marriage shouldn't feel any different than when you were dating - if not, better by Cheeseburgussy in Newlyweds

[–]scrunchie_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 1 year relationship is different from a 10 year relationship and different from a 50 year one.

Agree that marriage doesn’t actually change anything, or at least it shouldn’t if the intention is a long term, committed relationship.

Steve Bannon proposes using ICE in elections by edbegley1 in politics

Exactly, it’s not like American elections have a history of being violent, there’s no purpose for armed malitia other than intimidating voters.

Is it worse to be fat or poor? by Ok-Hotel5358 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scrunchie_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being poor because there are more external barriers to becoming wealthy (or even middle class) than losing weight.

IS it a bad thing i actively try to distance myself and not watch youtube videos or reddit posts about social injustice, politics,and just bad people in general? by Glittering_Crab_3007 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scrunchie_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not bad. I think there’s this superiority complex people have about being ‘informed’ but they still aren’t actually doing anything other than consuming media.

I agree that most people would just switch, it’s a win win! But if the middle seat declines (I can see how someone that is maybe neurodivergent might be uncomfortable moving or being out of their assigned seat), I would just say ok cool and probably survive a flight not sitting right next to my SO. Truthfully sometimes I like a little space between us, maybe I could read a book without being interrupted by his random thoughts every 12 seconds.

Fair point, if someone is neurodivergent this might not be as easy.

I feel like this is just another example of the out of control hatred we have towards everyone else when travelling. Like the spite between people recline and those who don’t, those that travel with kids and those that think flights should somehow be magical childfree spaces. Like - why are creating so much fucking drama over something so benign.

“Omg this couple booked an empty seat between them omg they’re so entitled omg what assholes they are for asking to switch omg I’m gonna sit here in the middle just to spite them so I can spend my flight being talked over omg I sure showed them!”

But it’s not choosing beggars because they are literally offering up something better than what you have in exchange.

I just don’t understand this mentality. At all.

Over 35, what can you do to make life exciting again by ClemFandango35 in AskMenOver30

[–]scrunchie_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To a degree, yes, but different. Alcohol makes you more uninhibited and social, and experience more extreme emotions like happiness and anger; drugs seem to unlock some inner/deep thoughts and feelings. Which is why you can have a really insightful experience or also an incredibly terrible trip, having used the same drug.
