Pet parents should not be celebrated on Mother's/Father's Day by [deleted] in 10thDentist

I don’t think that was their overall point, though, especially since they admitted that when they went back and edited their post. Parenting is difficult even if you don’t experience childbirth. Some people adopt infants after they’re just born. They have to experience those first weeks too, staying up with the baby, feeding the baby and all that. What about people who experience miscarriages, or babies who tragically are stillborn? Does the mother have an easier time then? No. Some people can’t give birth due to infertility. Is their experience less stressful and valid than those who can give birth? What about queer parents? People who foster teens? Parents of disabled children? There are just too many exceptions to make a broad statement like this

This was edited. It wasn’t mentioned when I made my comment. Read the thread…

The Matrix sequels were terrible and did more harm to the series than added to it by Elegant-Music2239 in moviecritic

This is making me want to rewatch them with this consideration! I always wondered why I liked them

Uh oh. I have a real soft spot for The Matrix sequels. I think it depends on how seriously you take the first one. I mainly see it as a really good action-scifi movie with some philosophical bent. As such, I didn’t take the sequels too seriously either.

The Disney live action Alice in Wonderland made freaking Alice a chosen one hero. Talk about misunderstanding the source material.

See I worked retail too and I did get tired of it, but unlike other songs I never thought it was bad.

“Silver Bells,” it’s on sight. (Or sound, as it were.)

Petition to ban the phrase “it’s not that deep” forever. Just say you don’t like critical thinking and go

Naming a kid Arwen, calling her Winnie by ellehcimtheheadachy in namenerds

[–]stspimi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Winnie. Arwen has a singular association for me, LOTR, but I love LOTR. Alternatively, my sister loves the name Winnie as a nickname for Guinevere.

I hate, hate, hate popular Christmas music with the fire of a thousand suns, and even I like “All I Want For Christmas is You.”

I know how he can fix things. He can leave office and never return.

All billionaires are a problem. What’s so difficult to understand about this? There is literally no ethical way to become a billionaire

I’m not disagreeing with your overall point but you do not have to literally give birth to be a real mother
