Aaron Tucker had been out of prison for seven days. He had less than $2 in his pocket and one shot at turning his life around, a job interview that morning. Then he saw a car flip over and catch fire from his bus window.
He asked the bus driver if he was going to help. "No, but if you get out I'm going to leave," the driver replied. Tucker got out anyway.
He sprinted toward the upside-down, smoke-filled car and found the 61-year-old driver covered in blood.
He unbuckled the man's seatbelt and dragged him clear as the car started to catch fire.
He pulled off his own dress shirt and used it to stop the man's head wound from bleeding, telling him: "You're going to be all right. Your family wants to see you. Keep your eyes open."
The bus left. Tucker missed his interview.
When the story got out, strangers set up a GoFundMe that raised over $50,000 in three days. He also received multiple job offers in construction.
"I feel like a job can come and go, but a life is a one-time thing," Tucker said. "The job just wasn't in my mind at that time."
If you’re going to be strict with men, stop telling them the consequences. See, this is where most ppl get it twisted. We think boundaries are about speeches, warnings, ultimatums. The more you explain, you invite negotiation & in that moment, you’ve already lost ground.
@MassOrdPen2@AmyElli0ttDunne@AGuyWithAFace@emilykmay why would you want to have sex with someone who isn’t 100% in the mood? let alone your wife? because you prioritize your own satisfaction over the comfort of the one person you vowed to supposedly “cherish” and protect” ? explain why you’re ok with that and let’s unpack
@MassOrdPen2@AGuyWithAFace@emilykmay I explain it because the scenario in the original post is about someone expressly not wanting to.
Expecting your wife to lie back and take it because you’re in the mood and she’s not is rapey. If that’s not your attitude, it doesn’t apply to you. 🤗
@MassOrdPen2@AGuyWithAFace@emilykmay No, this is very clearly about women who do not want to have sex but are being expected to endure it because their husband wants it.
I know that you think it’s fine to penetrate someone who doesn’t want you to and the possibility of not being rapey hasn’t crossed your mind.
@AGuyWithAFace@emilykmay Well, the issue is that nothing is really comparable to letting someone stick their dick in you when you’re not in the mood, is there?
Why would you want to have sex with someone who doesn’t want to?
I could not imagine having sex with someone who I know does not want to have sex with me.
Not just for moral reasons, but because it sounds completely unarousing.
Male sexuality is not only morally reprehensible, but also just plain bizarre.
Well said. People insinuating that kids should be able to live like we did in the 80s and 90s is really doing my head in. I’m 43 and couldn’t imagine being told in the 80s/90s that I had to live with the same means that my parents did in the 60s and 70s. People just don’t activate their brains before speaking.
@burdenofhopes@aChildOf2Worlds "With litlle money" yeah because back then a lego set didnt cost 500 pounds, and parks were actually maintained . Everything is more expensive and kids and teens even young students have been priced out. You live in a different world if you cant see tjis
@omgsidewalks That whole "having it all" nonsense is a big fat lie. Something suffers, and nothing gets 100 percent of your attention. But you do you. 🙂
