I can’t believe how emotional I got when I received my covid vaccine. I get relief, anxiety, sad, mad: all of it. I was surprised.

I agree. I am glad that racism is becoming much less tolerated. But misogyny is still pretty much still accepted in society.

The shooting in Georgia is absolutely horrible. But is anyone else upset about the fact that they keep reporting that it was racially motivated and completely skip over the fact that it was also gender motivated. His motive was sexual, so yeah, he blamed women for that. I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about the racial aspect. We should, and hates crimes against Asians is absolutely underreported. But it's like society is far more outraged by racially based violence than gender based violence. Women's lives are still not valued. Racial hatred? That's awful! Hatred against women? Meh, no big deal. That's why horribly misogynistic sub Reddits and such are allowed and thrive, but if the exact same subs were created with the word women replaced by black or other minority, it would be taken down immediately.

And zero fucks.

My DH literally believes the government cares about us. Dude, they don't give a shit about us! We pay their bills, that's all they want. They don't give a flying fuck about lower and middle class people. They don't care if we don't have the money for taxes or insurance. They don't care how we pay ourselves. They give no shits.

I can't afford a therapist so I just need to vent. Sorry ya'll. Reading about a woman who was murdered in my area. Scrolling through the comments (first mistake.) "More men are murdered than women yet it's always 'violence against women'" "Why was she out alone after breakfast? Why wasn't she wearing a full ski parka in midsummer in Florida? Why was she dating a tax attorney, everyone knows they're monsters!" "Why are we talking about this one woman when there's a pandemic going on?" "If she hadn't X she would be alive now." "Bet it was a member of [insert race]." (might be exaggerations but you know what I'm talking about.) Plus of course gross questions about the grisly details of the crime. Us women can't even get murdered right, ya know?

"Getting really tired of all these bi-racial couples in TV commercials. That's only a small portion of the population." - Submitted anon, not that I want to subject you all to hate-fuel, but maybe someone more articulate can back me up on why being racist is just about the dumbest position you can have. -Admin

Does anyone remember when there was that story in Australia about strawberries having needles in, and the entire country was freaking TF out to find out who was doing it? I can't be bothered to check if they did find out, but what do you want to bet that person got a pretty damn stiff sentence, while all these regulators and companies looking the other way allowing toxic levels of lead and arsenic in baby food get slapped on the wrist if nothing at all? If you mug someone, you go to jail. If you lie about the addictiveness of oxycontin and give kickbacks to medical professionals whose patients died, you'll get a slap on the wrist and then a higher paid job within pharma. No wonder we don't see many serial killers anymore, just go into corporates, you get to kill thousands, tens of thousands, MORE, with the stroke of a pen.

This was my post. I’m hoping that, at least for the time being, covid is keeping him from traveling, but he needs to be stopped. I heard this a couple days ago and I’m freaking out. I don’t know what to do. He has a young adult daughter that I could tell, but that would just hurt her, if she even believed me. She also happens to be be extremely ill. I’m not doing that....because I was initially thinking that I could humiliate him at least. This man was essentially bragging about what he was “getting away with”. Then he freaked out when he realized I heard him and left. He wasn’t embarrassed to say that to a couple of men who were sitting there. There has to be something. I wish I believed in hell.

This is an odd post, I know. I’ve tried looking into this, but I’m not finding any good answers, but does anyone have ANY advice or know anything about reporting child abuse committed by an American overseas? It really sucks because I have nothing to go on other than what I heard this person say. I will not post it here. From what I’ve read up on, the authorities here can’t really do anything. I don’t know if I could get more information. Maybe I could report him to authorities there? This man travels specifically to be with children under 16. There has to be a way they can arrest him at the airport or something. There has to be some way to prevent him from going again. There has to be something.
