Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped.

Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped.

Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.

Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.

Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.

Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.

kim kardashian failing the bar exam so many times that she gives up on being a lawyer is making me realize the american bar association might just be one of like three remaining institutions in the us that won't just roll over and give the exorbitantly wealthy whatever they want

I was walking home alone at night when a police officer suddenly grabbed my arm.
“Don’t react,” he whispered. “Someone is following you.”
I turned and saw a man in a dark hoodie about 30 feet behind me, matching my pace.
When I slowed down, he stopped too.
The officer tightened his grip.
“Stay calm. You’re safe with me.”
At first, I felt relieved.
Then I noticed he wasn’t guiding me toward the bright main road.
He was steering me toward a dark alley.
Behind us, the hooded man was getting closer.
Under a streetlight, I saw something metallic in his pocket.
My heart started pounding.
I pointed at a taxi parked just ahead.
“I’ll take that cab.”
The officer squeezed my arm even harder.
“The alley is safer.”
That was the moment I knew something was wrong.
I tore my arm free and sprinted to the taxi.
Three weeks later, I nearly dropped my coffee when I saw the morning news.
Two men had been arrested for murdering a woman.
The officer who grabbed me.
And the man in the hoodie.
They worked together.
One followed women at night.
The other pretended to rescue them.
The woman who trusted the officer never made it home.

[Maryam @hell_line0]

had an ex who was violent, I had a restraining order. Dude violated it and when I called the police he told us both his therapist advised him to do it “for closure”

cop went “what’s the name of the therpist?”

Ex: what?
Cop: what’s the name of your therapist’s practice?
Ex: that’s private
Cop: If you’ve been advised by a medical professional to break the law that’s something we need to report

that’s when it came out the therapist was a betterhelp “life coach”

I don’t trust betterhelp

My boss fired me on a Friday afternoon.
No warning. No meeting. Just a cold email saying my “position was no longer necessary.”
Security walked me out like I was a criminal.
The crazy part?
I was the one covering his mistakes for almost two years.
Three weeks later, the company got audited.
Turns out all the reports he forced me to alter were still linked to his account.
Every edit. Every deleted file. Every fake number.
The board blamed him for everything.
He lost his job.
Lost his bonus.
And last I heard, lawyers were involved.
Meanwhile, one of the board members called me personally and offered me a better position at double the salary.
My old boss trained his replacement himself.
Me.

My wife made the mistake of downloading the neighborhood watch app.

According to the local feed, our quiet suburb is apparently under constant siege.

A woman named Susan just posted a blurry photo of a white van parked near the cul-de-sac.

She labeled it "URGENT: Suspicious Vehicle casing houses."

It's an Amazon van.

You can clearly see the blue smile logo on the side door.

Three different neighbors have already commented that they're arming their security systems.

One guy suggested we form a rotating civilian patrol schedule.

I tried to reply and point out that it's literally just a guy dropping off the decorative pillows Susan ordered yesterday.

My wife snatched my phone away.

She said we can't risk alienating the HOA president before the annual block party.

I'm now sitting in my living room with the blinds drawn.

We're silently bracing for the Prime delivery invasion.

I Lost my wallet in Tokyo. Like completely lost it. I had all my cards, my cash, everything. I was freaking out.

Went back to every place I'd been that day. Nothing. Went to the police station to file a report, not expecting anything.

The officer asked for my name and address where I was staying. Went to check the lost and found.

I came back with my wallet. Everything is still in it. All the cash, all the cards, even receipts I didn't care about.

I was shocked. Asked where it was found. He checked the report and said "Family Mart, Shibuya. Turned in by an employee 20 minutes after you left."

I went back to that Family Mart to thank whoever found it. The employee who turned it in wasn't there, but his coworker said he'll pass along the message.

I asked what the person's name was so I could come back. The coworker looked confused and said "he doesn't need thanks. It is normal to return a wallet."

Like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Of course you return a lost wallet. Why wouldn't you?

I'd been living in the US too long, I guess. Forgot that some places, doing the right thing is just... normal.

[Miss Ally @MissAlly_01]

I just discovered I've had $10 coming out of my account every month since January to a zoo I've never been to & it's because I was drunk at New Year's, went online & sponsored a wombat called Trevor.

The worst part is that he hasn't even written to me yet...

My aunt borrowed my Gmas recipe book for xmas. I asked her to send me a photo of a recipe and she sent me an internet link to a random one. Said she tossed the old book cuz it was stained and outdated. Those we Gmas recipes, collected her whole life, left to me. Theyre gone...

Our new principal cut lunch to 15 minutes.
Not 15 minutes to eat.
15 minutes total.
Line. Food. Sit down. Eat. Trash. Done.
The legal lunch requirement in our district was 30–45 minutes. We were already at the minimum.
Then a new principal showed up and decided middle schoolers needed to “learn time management.”
On the first day, we rushed to lunch like normal.
Sat down. Ready to eat.
Then got told to wait because the principal needed to explain the new “lunch rules.”
He talked for 10 minutes.
By the time we got through the line and sat down, the bell rang.
Lunch was over.
No one had even taken a bite.
An entire cafeteria full of 7th graders just sat there holding untouched trays while he got on the mic and said:
“Have a good day, students.”
That was it.
No explanation. No second lunch. Nothing.
Just kids throwing away full trays of food because lunch ended before anyone got to eat.
I asked a teacher what was going on.
She looked nervous and quietly said lunch was only 15 minutes now.
No warning. No notice to parents. Nothing.
So I asked the principal why he thought this was okay.
He looked me dead in the face and said:
“Students need to learn to eat faster and manage their time better.”
So I called my mom right in front of him.
His face changed instantly.
Turns out there was a reason for that.
What he did was illegal.
My mom made a few calls, checked district policy, and two weeks later lunch was suddenly 40 minutes again.
Funny how fast “time management” disappears when lawyers start asking questions.

This looney ass Christian on TikTok has a 4 year old son with leukemia & she’s refusing to let him get chemo because she doesn’t want all those toxins in his body and “God will heal him”. She thinks she knows more than the damn PEDS oncologists. The doctors had to get CPS involved.

CPS said if she didn’t comply they were gonna take her kid and terminate her parental rights. She still didn’t wanna comply so they got another medical doctor to MANDATE that she lets her child get chemo because there is literally no other way around it. Mind you this woman has 5 other children. Everybody do not need to have kids!!

[sugamummy 🧚🏽‍♀️ @ceraliza]

A guy I know lost both parents to a drunk driver. He got custody of his 3 siblings and had to drop out of uni to work and take care of them.

He used to joke a lot, always outside, always laughing. After it happened, he barely talked. Just always looked tired.

If this law had been in place it would have eased his burden a bit.

The amount of messages of love I have gotten over the last 24 hours has me so overwhelmed (in a good way)

I am so happy that you guys were able to make friends, have an outlet, or just laugh at our shenanigans over the years

Thank you again so much

Thirty kindergartners: *screaming with excitement*

Kid: The woods!!

Me: Yes, they do like the woods where they're from. It's a very big continent. Who knows what continent you find them on?

Another kid: The sun!!

Me: That's in space, so no Yet another kid: Earth!!!

Me: Yes that's definitely the planet they and we are on! The snake is from the same place giraffes and lions are from ...

I remember reading a story that 9/11 caused a divorce. A woman’s husband worked in the twin towers, and he was having an affair. He took that day off and spent it with his affair partner in a hotel. He didn’t know what happened yet, so when his wife called him freaking out asking if he’s okay and asking where he is, he casually just told her “yeah, I’m just heading into a meeting right now.” 💀

[Deputy Matt @BangSwitchMatt]

I'm having a hard time imagining someone could be this stupid.

A guy comes into our store and special orders a gun. We order it for him, it arrives, he comes in fills out all the paperwork, we have a copy of his driver's license and his signature, and he leaves with the gun. He goes home and files a credit card claim saying he never got the gun. Credit card company takes our money.

Nothing like committing a felony in which you leave your ID, signature, and it's all on video. Just called the cops to file the report...
