A man beating up a pregnant woman will be charged with assault and battery not attempted murder of a minor EVEN if he hits her stomach. Because all of your patriarchal pals and your patriarchal legal system AROUND THE WORLD knows it isn't a human until it's born.

[luna-drinker]

Girly it’s literally a felony. If someone assaults a pregnant woman the penalties are much harsher and they can be charged with injuring an unborn baby.

young old person tip for you all. go get some photos printed (pauses so someone can say bogos binted) and fill out a physical album

[sayaratyriea]

and annotate them with who is in the photos and when and where the photos were taken!!! your extended family 50 years from now will be grateful, and so will you if you end up forgetting any details

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

[yokowan]

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

[le-jardin-inculte]

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

[whitachi]

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

[araceil]

At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.

[irishironclad]

With it being holiday season I wanna remind everyone that the Christian commandment of honouring your mother and father does not and never has meant forcing yourself to interact with and play nice with abusers or people who harm your mental health.

[lesbian-separatist]

If this commandment wasn't specifically about tolerating abuse from your elders they wouldn't have put it in The Book.

The Book Is Bad.

Find A New Book.

[irishironclad]

The commandment is not about that, its about loving your parents.

Also

Ireland was never colonized by Rome and was Catholic before the Anglo-Normans or anyone else invaded. Catholicsm is a fundamental part of Irish culture and identity. You lack basic knowledge of this subject.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

What never seems to get mentioned or acknowledged in these gottchas (of either the 'Bible bad' or 'I can do whatever I want to my kids' varieties) is that the next—literally the very next verse (Ephesians 6:4)—is "Parents, do not provoke [parorgizete: anger/degrade/demean/push the buttons of] your children, but bring them up in the discipline [paideia: training, correction, education] and instruction [nouthesia: verbal instruction/warning/admonition/encouragement] of the Lord."

The issue is not that scripture promotes or permits abuse and neglect, it's that abusive parents who try to justify themselves using religion see a big flashing "DON'T ABUSE YOUR KIDS, ASSHOLE" sign attached to the bit about children loving their parents and go

“Clump of cells”, “parasite”, “tissue”, “tumor”, “products of conception”, etc.

[draconym]

Sure, you know how to self-flagellate, but do you know how to apologize? Saying "I'm a stupid idiot" is not the same thing as saying "I did something wrong."

[draconym]

People who want an apology pretty much never want to hear "I'm a stupid idiot." If someone is actually trying to get you to say you're a stupid idiot, it's not because it will make up for a mistake you made or harm you caused. It's because they want you to feel like a stupid idiot. People who care about you do not want you to feel like a stupid idiot and it hurts them when they see you putting yourself down in their name.
