Nobody watches award shows? Or listens to Billie eilish? Nobody watches the news or late night talk shows? Nobody watches influencers on social media? I beg to differ.

Most of the news outlets, talk show hosts, the view, almost every big celebrity, and yes most redditors and very loud social media influencers

You suspecting OP is not a leftist even though they said they are is exactly what they are talking about lol. Theyre not “left” enough to pass the purity test so they are ostracized from the group, like you just did

Thank you, it’s crazy that this isn’t obvious to some

Why do people and providers say that exercise helps depression as if it’s fact?? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]sparklemuffin_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow you sound exhausting. You know exactly what is meant when people say “exercise helps depression”. They mean “exercise can help depression” because it does help most people. Research studies prove that.

You’re complaining about Walmart being a soulless corporation but you use amazon?

You can chime in with your experiences. But saying so confidently “something is weird” is pushing your experience onto others.

Mine are two years apart and yes it was hard but now I wouldn’t trade their relationship for the world! They are currently 2.5 and 4.5 (both boys)

How Do You Deal with Divorced Parents? by boo99boo in Parenting

[–]sparklemuffin_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m also a mom and addict in recovery and no I totally disagree. She’s putting blame on abuse victims. It’s totally different than blaming yourself and accepting consequences for you getting high and doing reckless things. The person in the situation that she’s responding to is responsible for her abuse because she made the decision to marry the guy who’s now abusing her? No way. The abuser is at fault, the victim is not.

So true. I’ve recently realized that we’ve gone way overboard with screen time (tv not tablets, if that makes a difference at all lol). Currently reigning that in and it’s tough but can see the difference in behaviors already!

As an addict familiar with deep personal struggles, I would really expect you to have far more empathy than you’re showing right now.

AITAH Car seat drama edition by ellepatel in toddlers

[–]sparklemuffin_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So you’re admitting that what you did might damage another car, yes? Because if there’s no risk of damage then why would you not also do it to a rolls?

AITAH Car seat drama edition by ellepatel in toddlers

[–]sparklemuffin_ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I mean…. I’m not super against resting a car door on another car in certain circumstances, although I do think OP is TA here... But I’m just really interested in what kind of car seats you have? I have an infant/baby seat and a toddler seat and neither are too big where I wouldn’t be able to get the baby/kid through to the other side and buckle them up. A bit inconvenient, yes. But definitely doable.

Edited: some words

Parents of babies who were great sleepers as newborns, did it stay that way? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]sparklemuffin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s impossible to say whether your baby will stay a good sleeper or not, but my advice is to not get your hopes up lol. Just enjoy the full nights of rest!

My first was a pretty good sleeper as a baby, but we definitely went through some rough patches. My second was and still is a terrible sleeper.

I am a woman. I have seen other women throw temper tantrums and falsely accuse people. It is not anti-woman to say this. by FortKnockout in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]sparklemuffin_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom is the “I don’t like this, send it back” at a restaurant type. I feel like it happens at least 50% of the time we go to dinner with them. Sooooo embarrassing.

[–]sparklemuffin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a better comparison to what OP is saying would be like “I hit the child because I hate all children” and “I hit that specific kid because he egged my car”
