- Comment on I got my [97 year old] grandma to play D&D with me | Ginny Di [18:46] 7 hours ago:
That’s so cute!
I bet she was just delighted to see and spend time with her granddaughter.
- Comment on is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father? 7 hours ago:
We all have the right to establish clear boundaries of behavior we won’t tolerate.
You can’t force your dad to respect them, but it’s not selfish to pull away when he fails to.
I’m sorry you have lost your parent in this way. It’s awful.

Every reddit user should consider r/redditseppuku
- Comment on Is it weird to hate a language because it bring up bad memories/feelings? 3 weeks ago:
It sounds completely natural to associate a language with the experiences you had in it.
Would it be weird to hate France if you went, had your luggage stolen, then got mugged, and then we’re diagnosed with cancer while you were there?
Humans brains are just association machines, and that language has associations for you. Maybe try to find friends in that community to make your own, positive associations?
- Comment on I am in the US and its gotten very political but as pretty much a peon do I just tune the stuff out thinking its fear mongering? Or should I closely pay attention to it? 3 weeks ago:
People tuning out is why we are here. Pay attention as much as you can; it’s important to be educated and to participate in the process.
- Comment on Microsoft mimics Google UI when Bing users search for Google 1 month ago:
It goes directly to the “web” tab of search results, which is way more likely to be what you wanted in the first place.
It’s like the old school Google search.
- Comment on What do drain unclogging liquids actually do? 1 month ago:
Can you elaborate?
- Comment on Are the inside parts of toilets universal? 2 months ago:
Not exactly universal but there is wide compatibility. Of it looks the same then you are probably ok.
- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 3 months ago:
She and Biden had four years to demonstrate policies that help the working class. They did so little that the working class supported trump.
That’s the concession: the built in support for corporate agendas, since that’s where Democratic money comes from. You don’t need to put it in your platform when it’s obvious from your actions that “the economy”, to you, means the board room.
- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 3 months ago:
I understood him to mean that Democrats were more interested in appealing to Liz Cheney as Republican lite, rather than advocating vigorously for the working class. They take money from corporate interests, and then pretend they don’t protect them. They didn’t do enough to address the problem of inflation, and American workers were angry.
- Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice? 4 months ago:
Somebody I care about has had an incredible event or experience in their life. Of course I care and want to hear about it.

- Comment on AustinMcConnel had a stroke after his heart surgery 6 months ago:
I don’t know who this guy is, but I’m so sorry that he had that complication. Absolutely brutal.
- Comment on Moms, I you were struggling with your child in public and a man offered to help, would you let him and why? 6 months ago:
“Where are your parents?” the man asked the little girl, as he cut off the direction she was walking
I don’t want that to be a narrative that any person can ever tell about me. It could be a totally innocent act, but a sinister framing is easy to assume and impossible to refute.
Hard pass.
- Comment on Moms, I you were struggling with your child in public and a man offered to help, would you let him and why? 6 months ago:
Yeah, it’s totally reasonable. But I’m the current climate I’m not blocking any person’s kid unless they’re going in front of an oncoming train.
- Comment on Moms, I you were struggling with your child in public and a man offered to help, would you let him and why? 6 months ago:
I am more likely to get in their way and ask them where their parents are.
I was with you until that last sentence.
- Comment on why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out. 7 months ago:
Because nobody expected him to do anything but lie through his teeth and shit his pants.
Check and check.
- Comment on What happens if Biden dies before the next inauguration (see inside)? 7 months ago:
Because if Trump dies then we have a lot less to worry about
- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 7 months ago:
Bones prove you existed.
But the absence of bones does not mean that you didn’t.

- Comment on Is someone safe if they report income from illegal means to the IRS? 8 months ago:
Short answer: no
Longer answer: if it were that simple, then money laundering would not be a billion dollar industry.
- Comment on Ancient Genomes Reveal Which Children the Maya Selected for Sacrifice 8 months ago:
Nearly 60 years later, ancient DNA extracted from 64 of the children is offering new insights into the religious rituals of the ancient Maya and their ties to modern descendants. In a paper published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, an international cohort of researchers revealed that the children — sacrificial victims killed between 500 and 900 A.D. — were all local Maya boys that may have been specifically selected to be killed in sibling pairs.
“These are the first ancient Maya genomes to be published,” said Johannes Krause, an archaeogeneticist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. The DNA work provided a previously unseen glimpse into the identities of the sacrificed children. “One feels quite moved by such a finding,” Dr. Krause said, noting that he himself has a young son.
