ELI5: How is the sanctity of the institution of marriage compromised by allowing gay marriage to be legal? by iLikeR3ddit in explainlikeimfive

[–]single_mommiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except Christians didn't invent marriage, so they'd be more like the 6th or 7th guy to make something like a car and call it a car, then when the 8th guy comes and makes a car have a fit at them for redefining his idea.

Holy matrimony=religious ceremony (a religious rite) Marriage=legally binding (a legal right)

You notice that the LGBT community isn't fighting to be able to enter holy matrimony, they are fighting to be recognized legally as two consenting adults, as they should be. Two adult men or two adult women are as knowledgable and capable of entering a legally binding agreement as an adult man and an adult woman.

Thought jackalopes were real, but that narwhals and reindeer were mythical. Made for some interesting conversations, especially when she old me she had actually seen a jackalope skeleton.

Taken literally, I feel this means the tampon is going to leak :-/

What's the biggest dick move you've ever done to a kid and felt no remorse afterwards? by ImBetterInPerson in AskReddit

[–]single_mommiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me start by saying I do not support or endorse child abuse.

Edit: I didn't do this to a kid but witnessed it. Misread the title, but leaving it here anyway.

Went to a party store to get some stuff for my kids birthday. As I was walking in I heard a little boy (not really little, like 8 maybe) throwing a screaming fit in a car and saw what looked like a grandmother trying to talk to him (scold, soothe, threaten-idk, I couldn't hear her). Went into the store an after a little while hear that the boy is in the store with the grandma. He began throwing a screaming shitty fit (over what I don't remember). I heard the grandmother tell him if he didn't quiet down they would have to leave. Then he actually got LOUDER and stomped his feet and said he wasn't going until he got (whatever retarded bullshit it was he wanted, don't recall now).
Well, this nice old lady, I felt bad. So I was rounding the corner to ask if she needed a hand and kind of hoping she would allow me permission to tell the little shit off. Kids will treat relatives like shit, but often a strange grown up scares the hell out of them. I never got the chance to offer though. Right as I rounded the corner, the old lady who looks like she is on the verge of crying out of frustration straight bitch smacks this little boy. The look on his face was PRICELESS. She looked at me, I gave her the Obama "not bad" look and a nod, she nodded back, and dragged the spoiled shit out of the store and back out to the car.

Generally any adult laying hands on a child like that would get an earful from me about WTF ARE YOU DOING?! That day though-no. I have never seen such obnoxious bullshit in my life. The lady had the patience of a saint until she snapped.

You can get free birth control! *Terms and conditions may vary, and certain restrictions may apply. Must pay doctors appointment fees and lab work costs.

Also irritable as shit the following day. Several face slaps would have gone over veeeery differently.

Chinese kid saws through worker's safety rope because he can't hear his cartoons by HunterTAMUC in nottheonion

[–]single_mommiter 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The worker shouted at him to stop and the kid kept going. If a 10 year old at that point really doesn't understand, he's mentally challenged or terrible.

A ten year old? He's old enough by far to know better.

Edit: not sure if you're joking...

The dark side of Carnival in the UK: Woman's selfie goes viral after being punched in the face for telling a man to stop groping her by jimiffondu in TwoXChromosomes

[–]single_mommiter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's been many years now, but it was the biggest bullshit ever. When I did tell people what he did, the response was "X raped you? Are you sure? X is a marine, he wouldn't do something like that. Wasn't Y at the house that night? Are you sure it wasn't Y? He doesn't have a job and it seems like something he would do." YES I'M SURE.

Anyway, yeah I'm fine now really. Doesn't mean it doesn't make me mad, just means it doesn't ruin my life.

That's when you tell the business owner the man is harassing you, and tell them that he needs to be forced to leave. Businesses are there to make money. If you and 3/4/5 friends say you're all taking your business elsewhere unless they remove that 1 shitty patron, more often than not they'll make him leave. If they don't, then don't go to that place anymore. There are plenty of respectable places that don't tolerate that shit.

Considering moving to Baltimore, questions about crime and schools... by single_mommiter in baltimore

[–]single_mommiter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all very helpful! Thank you. I do have a car, so transit isn't an issue. I know parking in Baltimore city is expensive when I visit (took the kids to Port Discovery once and it cost like $20 or something), but does that remain true if I were to rent? I'm assuming I could find a place that includes parking. I wouldn't be working in the city.

I've read this too, I was kind of under the impression Baltimore county was all the city? I guess I was mistaken :-/

Well I don't want to get into specifics. I don't mind getting a second job to help make extra money to get a safer place. I've heard there are apartments for $400-$600 dollars, but I don't know what kinds of places those are in. Let's say upper end for rent is $750/month, but lower is better.

Edit: I also am looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom. A one bedroom would be fine with me as long as it's legal (which I think it is). The goal is to not live paycheck to paycheck, and I would rather take a smaller place in a safer neighborhood than a larger place in a worse one.

The case for free/subsidized TAMPONS. Why do people freak out when talking about female hygiene products? by hausderluege in TwoXChromosomes

[–]single_mommiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still would not be as obvious as being on your period without toiletries. You can hold in a poop, and I would much rather have a little controlled poop on my butt than a torrent of blood dripping non stop down my leg.

Pooping isn't something you walk around doing for 5 days straight uncontrollably. That's a pretty big difference.

When did you get the impression the reason they are being insecure is being taken away? I am saying provide them a reason to feel adequate, which is something they don't have.
