  • you wrote a shitty thing, got called out for it, and now you’re playing victim and then going off on me for it? Holyshitballs, my dude, you have a complex.

    You wrote and implied that they’re barbarians. Choosing to use culturally charged language like “barbarity” to describe impoverished people of a 3rd world country. Might as well have just dogwhistled that they’re “savages”. That’s how it can be read. Might I suggest YOU don’t do that in the future. And maybe YOU need to log off, because YOU have problems. You don’t have the right to police a goddamn thing I say.

    If what you wrote can be misread, that’s YOUR fault for wording it badly.



  • I mean, the choice is, that or all the other children starve and die.

    It’s an impossible situation. Sophie’s choice, trolley problem, call it whatever.

    But I don’t think anything is gained by calling the parents making this decision barbarians. If they had options they likely would not be forced to choose in this manner. What is worth your criticism and admonishment is the governments who create these conditions, and the kind of people who see this suffering as an opportunity to buy a child wife. Totally justified calling those people barbarians.

    I wish it was easier to leave and immigrate. It’s actually incredibly arduous to get all the paperwork needed for a passport, work visas, international application, etcetcetc.

    Especially if you have family. Especially if you don’t have a perfect little life. Needing to get documents or information from shitty relatives… Try getting birth certs when you don’t know where to look. You need that for a passport. Try getting a child a passport when their biofather is an absentee.





  • My wife and I are the opposite.

    I use maps (Waze) all the time, everytime. Even for places I’ve been to before and know the way. Because, what if there’s a traffic jam, or accident, or some detour that would be better? Waze also shows posted speed limits at all times (even when not navigating, unlike “Maps”), so I never have to guess if I’m speeding. Waze also alerts if cops are posted in the area, good to know.

    My wife however is like “I don’t need the maps, I know how to get there”. Me, I got nothing to prove by trying to remember every address, and every street. I use maps all the time, there’s just no downside, imo.

    She’s also not a fan that I changed the navigators accent to Aussie and call her Sheila. I think she’s jealous of my love for Sheila.

    If your shelf screw is only in the drywall, especially just partially in the drywall, its going to rip out your wall. Make sure you have at least a 1-1.5inch of fastener after your shelf bracket. Get a stud finder and attach the screw to the studs (where available) If you dont have any studs to use, get drywall anchors which will help distribute the force.
