It sounds like you've been through a lot-- and she took advantage and made it all worse. I'm not glad it happened to you at all, but that you did make it out, and it is amazing that it gave you an opportunity to save two kids from such a horrific situation. And potentially many more. Sometimes the silver linings can outshine the dark clouds. It's so sad that some people can be so awful for no other reason than to be awful :/

According to all the articles I've read: she hadn't checked the weather that day so I'm not sure how she "knew there was going to be a storm." Unless the new implication is that she is either:
A) psychic
B) able to determine that, from dark clouds gathering as she was driving (it was nice when she left her house), she should immediately desist driving, pull over, and lay on top of her baby in the expectation that the clouds would give way to rain, which would give way to hail so powerful it would BLOW OUT HER CAR WINDOW. Australia is, after all, known for it's extremely cold weather and, above all, it's sudden hail storms.
I don't really care if people want to celebrate her, but if you're going to call her negligent, you could at least make a MINOR effort to get your facts in order.

That's why I said they'd be a niche-- something that exists in some games, but far from the norm, so definitely not in ALL games. Assuming any of the games we know today also existed and God didn't just troll him with a PC and nothing to play, or only one game for eternity

I literally have no idea why this comment got a downvote

The ones hunting legally and responsibly for food are certainly entitled to. The poachers are not.

As a side note - I misread the last line. Read "chicken" as "children" and had to do a double take

I was literally just thinking the same thing

Haha ty. It's probably more info than anyone asked for but eh.

Incidentally found out what happened to Aaron: him, Moses, and his son climbed up a mountain. Moses stripped Aaron and dressed his son in his clothes. And then Aaron died, which most of us would also probably do after attempting to climb up a mountain. He was buried on the mountain, and everyone took a break from the 40 years of wandering to mourn him for a month.

Joshua was Moses' successor, and ended up leading the Israelites against Jericho (they're the city that had the great walls before China made having great walls a cool thing to do). Jericho more or less laughed at the Israelites and told them to shove it, which most of the Israelites were thinking was probably the right thing to do at this point. God informed Joshua that they could defeat Jericho and it's mighty walls by marching around the outside of it for 7 days. Which Joshua managed to get them to do.
After Jericho's defeat, God pulled another "parting of the red sea" with the ark of the covenant in the river Jordan, allowing them to safely cross it to Gilgal, where they celebrated by building a monument out of riverbed stones and then began cutting skin off of penises.
There's more to his story about conquering the land of Canaan etc, but you get the gist

Aaron also screwed up and was forbidden from entering the promised land. Can't remember if he died like Moses or where he ended up.

Joshua was the one who ended up leading them into the promised land. Iirc, he was one of the scouts sent out by Moses to see what the path ahead was like. Him and Caleb were the only ones to report back that the path would be possible with the help of God, despite the hazards they faced. The other scouts stated it would be impossible, people believed them instead of God, and were sentenced to 40 years of wandering. Incidentally, Caleb & Joshua ended up being the only ones of their generation to see the promised land, which may have been the point of the wandering. Or maybe God forgot about them and took a nap. Either way, at some point God told Moses to go talk to a rock, but Moses hit the rock over the head with a stick instead. Aaron was part of these shenanigans, and because they defied God, God stopped them from ever being allowed to enter Canaan.

The hail blew out a window in the back seat (where the baby was), and the mother was in the front seat (driver's side, I believe). Assuming she was a normal human being and not expecting a hailstorm from hell to start exploding her car, was in the driver's seat, and had her seatbelt on, it would definitely have taken more than a second to get to the baby. If she was in the passenger's side it would have taken even longer. So, yes, the baby probably did get injured. That doesn't mean the mother didn't do a good job attempting to protect it. Someone might get burned in a house fire, that doesn't mean the fire department didn't do a good job rescuing them.

@fell_equinox I don't think you need to feel like an ass, I think you worded it well. I agree with you

And probably don't deserve him

Iirc it wasn't Moses' navigation at all. According to the Bible, they disobeyed God (a common theme). The journey was supposed to take 40 days, but because of their disobedience (they did not believe they could defeat the people standing between them and Canaan despite God saying they would be victorious, and they rebelled) they were cursed to wander for 40 years instead. Moses died within sight of the promised land.

I love Stu's little hat!

To a non-vegan the argument looks like "respect and worship my choice to be bulimic, and I'll still attempt to shame you for not throwing up your own dinner after every meal."

Kind of terrifying in this form though

I was referring to the memes of womens' (or mens, but I can't recall actually seeing that many of those) faces/subtitles etc taken directly from porn haha. I get why they were doing it in this image (though I find that hardly less weird)

Is the ptsd from her, too? Again, don't feel obliged to answer. She sounds like an absolute nightmare wretch of a human being tbh. :/ I'm glad to hear the cancer has been properly removed from your life and you're on the road to recovery. Hopefully when/if you find someone again, it will be a much better experience (I say if because I think I remember you saying you don't really plan on being in a relationship again, but I might have you mixed up with someone else).
Hopefully she never comes near you or your kid again. And I'm glad you have some ability to handle your dreams, also. It's never happened to me, but I know some people get so locked in their nightmares they never quite manage to go "Okay. Remember. This isn't real. We can get out of this just fine." Or some other version of that

I don't think anyone claimed they were endangered. Iirc he said they are poached and IN danger from hunters. Poaching implies most of these hunters likely shouldn't be hunting them to begin with
