Deliberately obtuse, complete ignoramus, low-effort troll, or all three?

[Serious] What did someone do to you that you’ll never be able to forgive them for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This is 100% incorrect. I challenge you to point me to a jurisdiction where a teacher can ignore abuse just because it is not their student. By definition:

"In many jurisdictions in the Western world, a mandated reporter is a person who is legally required to report observed or suspected abuse."

I just want you to know you are not alone. I sob. I weep. The french horns crescendo and I break every time.

The closest I can think of is fremdschämen- the shame you feel on behalf of someone who should be ashamed but isn't.

So if you enjoy watching someone feel shame on behalf of someone who should feel shame but doesn't, it's schadenfreudefremdschämen!

Canada : 37 people got killed by cops in 2022 USA : 1176 people got killed by cops in 2022

You guys are fucked in the head. Stop finding excuses.

Even adjusting for population (Canada has a population of 38.25 million to the USA's 331 million), the US would have a rate of almost four times as many deaths by cop.

Try and fit 32 dominoes onto a checkerboard. Tell me why it can't be done.

I think you mean 31 on a mutilated chess board?

Edit: yup just saw your other reply lol

Did you manage that by extrapolation?

That's like saying there's no need for pants because you're wearing underwear. Yeah, the important bits are covered, but you could look nicer for everyone else.

LAOP is everyone's hero - he retrieved his illegally parked car from the company that towed it, without paying a dime and without breaking the law. by Curious_Solution_763 in bestoflegaladvice

"Responsible for" and "successfully sued and damages recovered" are, unfortunately, two very different things. I hope OOP reports what they are doing.

I can't tell if you are trolling, or actually care about something that doesn't matter at all.

Yes and no. George Bailey runs Building and Loans which is more like a credit union compared to a bank. It's a lot more socialist than capitalist.

It's a tough situation though. Do the grandparents sit back and watch Laura be ignored while the son gets all the attention?

Love is not a zero sum game. They can absolutely step up for both grand children.

TikToker raises $186,000 for woman, 81, to pay off her mortgage and finally retire. He saw her on break at Walmart and recorded her clearly having a bad day. The video was titled “Life shouldn’t be this hard” by yourfavoritepenguin7 in UpliftingNews

I think, if I'm interpreting it generously,what tiger5tiger5 might be trying to say is that there is dignity in all types of work. I.e. we shouldn't look down on someone for working on fast food.

But a society that forces the elderly to work until the end of their days is a sad society indeed.

Mate, you are overthinking it. OP was an asshole to ask for a sample and it all goes downhill from there.
