In order to get the answers you’re looking for, put out the question “what exactly does this statement mean?” instead of “sounds like this means ___” and waiting for a confirmation/rejection of your assumption.

I genuinely can’t tell if this is trolling or genuine ignorance.

Either way, I’m disappointed.

Have you ever been pregnant before? I can assure you, it’s absolutely not a lighter weight alternative.

Unmedicated, I would crave soda like a fucking sugar tick. I’d eat until I was sick, then eat some more. Actually rotted a bunch of my teeth with my shitty habits and poor self-control. Needed several root canals… ugh…

Medicated, I have soda maybe once per month or every other month. I don’t have uncontrollable cravings for sugar anymore. It’s fucking great!!

These non-human pieces of shit can be easily put into power over the weak, naive, and vulnerable when a part of the church. It’s as simple as “volunteering” to help out with the kid’s Sunday school classes, childcare, youth group, “mentoring”, and all other kinds of jobs they so selflessly volunteer to do. No background checks needed!

They’ll pick out the ones least likely to speak up. They’ll gain their trust. They’ll form a bond of trust. They’ll nurture the relationship. They can easily convince the party they’ve assaulted that you should be guilty for what happened… what you made them do.

I know this, because I was a victim many many years ago.

A church in my area recently had an uproar because the pastor’s son had been doing things to children. Thing is… it came out the pastor and his wife knew their son had a “problem” for years before… AND STILL GAVE HIM FULL ACCESS TO THE CHILDREN IN THE CHURCH!!!

Dead serious: keep your kids out of the church. Do not trust them with your children!!

Thank god my bitches are safe.

Is the entire comment removed or just certain words?

I did use the word “b×tch” in there a couple times.

Success = hard work.

Hard work = not lazy.

Not lazy = good.

Rich / successful people = good people (unless they’re involved in godless entertainment, of course)

Not successful = not working hard enough.

Not working hard enough = lazy.

Lazy = bad.

Poor / unsuccessful people = bad people

They do not think hard enough to see nuance. They just don’t.

An old friend of mine once ranted to me about how poor women will keep popping out babies to get free government money & food. Like… bitch, do you know how actually difficult it is to get “”“free money”“” from the government? Are you seriously mad that children are being fed? Do you think that poor people fund their “lavish lifestyles” off government funds? BITCH, POOR PEOPLE DON’T DO THAT!!! RICH PEOPLE DO!!!

There’s sometimes one cashier, but apparently it is only self-checkout past 6 or 7pm. And often then, they’ll just have self-checkout only at random times.

I’ve seen them only down to 2 cashiers at absolute peak busyness. No more than that. It’s madness.

…what’s in the links?

Speaking as someone with a physical handicap, self-checkout can be very difficult… especially with a larger amount of items or heavy things

Even opening finicky bags causes me a lot of frustration, because my dexterity is bad some days. Continuously bending down to lift, bag, & load stuff into the cart? Very very bad.

Local grocery stores in my area have been cutting back on cashiers, and it is really causing me issues.

I’ve seen old ladies struggling a lot, too! They probably have it much worse than I do! It’s probably a thing they so they don’t have to pay more workers, but those workers are sorely needed!

I feel this.

My immune system is shitty and terrible (suspected condition, but docs have no clue), so getting sick will cause a slew of awful things to happen to me. Last tiny sick bout I had a few months ago caused a chain reaction that landed me in the hospital. I was literally shitting blood due to a tiny infection! The specialist half-jokingly told me “Well, next time, just don’t get sick!” Ha. Ha ha. Ha.

I’ve only had a single person comment on me wearing a mask in 3 years, thank god. My response was “How about you mind your own fucking business?” Don’t wear a mask. Whatever. I won’t comment on it. But leave me the fuck alone if I choose the wear one. I’m not about to explain my medical history to some snide asshole. Fuck off. I like not suffering.

I think you meant “YEAH!!!”

I am always worried about replying to “older” threads after being brow-beaten on R×ddit with messages like “Dude, it’s been 48 hours. Why are you replying to this?”.

Plus the old “don’t necro old threads/posts” I’m used to from other sites and forums, as well.

Force of habit after those experiences, honestly.

It’s worse than that, though. All the little squishy bits and nerves that connect to your brain!

Migraines, muscle weakness, paralysis… all that stuff can be caused because of your stupid spine!

Brain stem? Also connected to your spine.

Booooo!!

Fix the stupid fucking spine!!!

One little incident and you’re in pain for the rest of your life? Shitty design flaw.

I mean, sure, but…
