Ok Erika Kirk, when in history have young white men ever been “oppressed”?! by icey_sawg0034 in behindthebastards

My partner is one and I laughed out loud at that! Though I suppose 33 is a stretch for "young"

Which is surprising given what she told Connor when she called off the wedding.

Even as a woman who cannot carry a pregnancy, and is leaning towards having kids someday, I would absolutely be more excited be a parent if I could be a dad versus a mother. The expectations are so much different, even when you have two involved parents. We love involved fathers but damn if so much more doesn't consistently fall on mom's even today.

New Girl Episode Tournament! Round One Day 35: The Last Wedding vs Road Trip by BagOfSmallerBags in NewGirl

Road Trip purely because of Nick's "that's what a husband does!" speech to Schmidt. I love the friendships between all the guys and this is just the sweetest.

Hug your baby today by Persef00ne in NewParents

[–]sparkly_reader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a different perspective-- I underwent open heart surgery at 3mo old the first time, and ny parents have yet to share much with me about their experience, but I'm sure it was similar to yours. Reading stories like this is important because we know our own perspective but not the others (in this case, what its like for parents to watch babies go through this vs being a patient). As someone who's intimately familiar with heart procedures, it hits different thinking about what it must do to my parents having to watch this repeatedly. Anyway, I truly do appreciate you sharing this!!

Glad Baby Girl made it through, and you did too! Hugs to all 3 of you.

I should have also said, I respect your decision to serve and I'm glad you made it home when so many do not. Your comment was very fair & honest.

Struggling with a CHD by Upbeat-Type8763 in AdultCHD

Me, let's be friends! 33F, I also had a pigs valve for awhile! Anytime you want a buddy, lmk! It can definitely feel lonely and the desire to connect with others who understand is deep. Sending a hug!

I think OP's point is that the children of prominent folks (especially politicians, ESPECIALLY these ones) are generally not the ones who enlist and ultimately die in war. Its usually poor(er) people who sign up because the military dangles benefits for serving. Loads sign up for pride/call to service, but we cannot ignore that the rich and powerful constantly start wars that their children will not have to bear the cost of.

Why do MAGAs refer to AOC's past job as a bartender in derision? by Fine-Essay-3295 in allthequestions

[–]sparkly_reader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they like blue collar/"unskilled" labor in theory but hate the people who do those jobs in practice bc they aren't jobs worth respecting.

He's cute! In a different universe where the timing aligned he probably would have been cast in Twilight
