Reddit: "Women of Reddit, how do I make you give me sex?"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Females of Reddit, what is the sexistest thing a man ever did while having the sexist sex that you have ever sexed?

(emphasis on the "Females" part becuase: maximum neckbeard cringe)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

When incels say "female" I just assume they mean iron man

Back when I was 10 there were some druggies living next to me. I was good friends with their kids. One day when they left their kids there unattended we got into the garage. Long story short, the house burned down. The kids survived, but the parents were never seen after that. Pretty sure they werent home but the timing for their dossapearance was odd.

Not yet. Waiting for the Mad Max era of the Trump presidency.

Does your mom's ass count?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Nah I got 2 dads, suck on that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago

I will murder pretty much any ass tbh

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

I can't. Got lock jaw. Would a handy suffice?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I had these really annoying ducks near my house and I would shoot at them, but missed a lot. The neighbor’s dog would pop out of the tall grass and LAUGH at me each time. It made me so mad I tried to murder that dog multiple times but he always got away.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

If you think those ducks were a pain, you should have gone across to your other neighbor's house where they just had teeny tiny clay discs flying around.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

Not lately.

I coughed without a mask near an old lady ranting about liberals in a super conservative little town in Texas during COVID.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well good thing that the virus was a hoax, so the lady was probably fine, amirite?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, I wasn't sick at the time. When I was, I stayed home. I just did it to terrify her.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

It's good that you stay home when sick, but just FYI, you can have covid without realizing it. Roughly 1 in 5 cases never get symptoms but are still contagious. That's one of the reasons lockdowns were so effective. We couldn't just rely on people staying away when they are sick because they might have it without the sickness. Fuck covid

So I'll actually answer since I've never shared this even though the post is making a joke.

It's not really murder I'm sure, but it has stuck with me forever. I took care of my grandmother through the end stages of her cancer as some form of "hospice" care. I was the one that gave her morphine when she needed it and essentially within days of starting it she became more and more zombified and then passed away. It happened within roughly a week. It was only after all that did learn about morphine toxicity in the elderly and realized that even though it helped her with the pain I'm pretty sure I "killed" her. :(

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For what it's worth, if i ever find myself elderly with end stage cancer, I would consider it a kindness to be able to go out painlessly and relatively quickly.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

100%. At that point your life is over already. Dose me up on morphine and let me sail away into the void peacefully.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

'If I'm gonna die, at least I wanna be high.'

- ❤️×💀×🤖

Seriously tho, the only death that could be better is being high in a puppy pit.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

So people with end stage cancer do often deteriorate like that, the morphine is unlikely to have caused her death but it would have definitely made her more comfortable. You did the right thing for your grandma. You didn't speed up her death, you cared for her through a difficult time. Thank you for being there for them.

If this is playing on your mind get in touch with the hospice/ palliative care team who were involved and talk it through with them. They will be happy to help and won't mind you calling at all, even if it is a long time since it happened.

Euthanasia isnt really murder.

I mean if someone has a terminal illness and asked you to give them cyanide and you do, that not really murder.

Sure the law views it differently, but it morally not murder.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Where I live it's legal. There's paperwork, a psychological interview of the patient and it must be done by somebody who is allowed to do so. My grandfather went like that. Even though it's sad, I'm glad he got to go before it became even worse.

It's easier and generally more acceptable to ask here than in the grocery store.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (3 children)

At Ralph's you can only use the express line if you haven't murdered anyone that day.

I'm not really sure how it works but I was told I gobbled up my brother as an embryo in the womb. He was yummy.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I recently murdered a bowl of mac and cheese. It was premeditated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

They could have had a family!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

I raised this Mac and cheese from a box. I fed it milk. I kept it warm on the stovetop. And I'd do it again. Probably Saturday as I'm watching some sports matches.

Am I the only one who is against murder? Why is nobody talking about the immorality behind murder?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

hey! if you want to ask questions you have to make a post about it!

hey everyone! this guy is trying to cut in line with questions!

we should get him!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Because bourgeois morality is false. Throw off the chains they have placed on your mind and become a based murderist.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I've made an inexcusable mistake that caused someone to die. It's been 20-ish years, still not over it. Is anyone even allowed to get over something like that and go on with their lives?

People ask because murderers exist, and if they've served their sentence, they might be willing to answer and have interesting stories?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago

Is anyone even allowed to get over something like that and go on with their lives?

If it was a mistake and you didn't intend to actually kill anyone, then yes I think you're allowed to move on at some point and even forgive yourself for that.

Mistakes happen. Often it's just bad luck. There's no benefit in beating yourself up about it. What happened has happened and there's no going back. Grieving and regretting and feeling bad and such is normal and okay but I'd say 20 years is enough time to start thinking of forgiveness and moving on.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Its been 20 years. Why not share the story. Its an anonymous forum. Most will assume any stories here are made up. It's therapeutic as fuck, like writing a letter you'll never send. Just giving a perspective most who know you would never give.🍻

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes. But it was completely legal.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Shyea right, nice try NSA, like I would ever tell you about that time on September 27, 2012, 3:03 am, Jefferson Dr in Bowling Green, Ohio, when I was driving drunk and veered around a corner, slamming into someone walking along the road. Or that the pedestrian is killed instantly and I sped away without calling 9-1-1. You think I’d rat myself out like that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

Shit like this is funny haha right up until it turns out a body was found out there. And enough facts matched...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've murdered my soul working at an office

Yes I'm a mass murder and so is my family, the skin cells that I shed every day are entitled to the personhood that we afford people! Never mind that the death and shedding of skin cells in natural, normal and everyone does it, we must protect the skin cells!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I changed my down vote after I read the rest of your post.

I've killed lots of animals. So yes.

Flies and mosquitoes for instance. I try not to anymore, but mosquitoes are hard not to murder.
