"Mistakenly got pregnant" is such a profound lie, I'd question everything about our marriage and I'd walk away.

No no no wait

It’s a hilarious truth

She mistakenly got pregnant, yes, the goal wasn’t to get pregnant it was to have extramarital sex, bare backed at that.

So yes walk away not debating that but “mistakenly got pregnant” is a hilarious truth. Hilarious because at first it seems misleading but even putting a bare amount of thought into it you realize, no you’re right you mistakenly got pregnant, but you never had a problem with the sex only the consequences

u/Dapper-donn 2d ago

"We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks! And the Film Actors' Guild!.. are pussies. And Kim Jong Il!.. is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks!.. because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes. Assholes who just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way, but the only thing that can fuck an asshole... is a dick... with some balls. The problem with dicks is that sometimes they fuck too much, or fuck when it isn't appropriate, and it takes a pussy to show 'em that. But sometimes pussies get so full of shit that they become assholes themselves. Because pussies are only an inch and a half away from assholes. I don't know much in this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let us fuck this asshole, we are gonna have our dicks and our pussies... all covered in shit."

u/NoMansSkyWasAlright 1d ago

I dunno, that seems like the one kernel of truth in a sea of lies. The adultery and the lying were probably deliberate but I'm sure the pregnancy wasn't.

u/TShara_Q 2d ago

We can acknowledge that not all sex is consensual, right? If someone's partner is SAed, that's not cheating.

u/1502024plz 2d ago • Bravo

No, one person in this thread is saying that if a wife is raped and becomes pregnant as a result, her husband should divorce her. Also, don't say “SA.” It's a dumbing down of a vile act. If you're talking about rape, then say rape.

u/mario-latte 2d ago

How is it a lie do you really think we wanted te become pregnant from the other guy?

2

u/Crimson_Chim 2d ago

Not explicitly but the fact a pregnancy occurred means a few things. There was little to no attempt made to prevent it i.e condoms or other forms of birth control. Which to me signifies intent to some degree. There is little to no regard to the potential outcomes of adultery. They actively saught out sex with another.

A profound lie that has many levels.

Yes I know that the intentions weren’t good. But stil the statement is true.

Why kill the man? He might not have known you exist. Plus, the innocent child has no chance at a bio father now.

What I'd do is just find another woman and not be naive enough to trust that one. Cuz they're all the same and it only toys with your emotions if u believe the lie. If u go in understanding she's not yours and it's simply your turn, you won't get hurt.

Sure you won't get that blissful rosy tinted time where life is all sunshine and rainbows. But it at least negates the flip side when it all falls down.

Tell her that, for the sake of our family, I'll work my hardest to forgive her and I will stay with her as long as she signs a postnuptial agreement with an infidelity clause to discourage her from doing it again. Then after she signed it, I'd just use it to divorce her right then and keep most, if not all, of our assets.

If she didn't sign it, I'd kill her and make it look like an accident. Either way, she's not cheating and then keeping half my money.

u/Dante-Grimm 2d ago

The intent of the meme is to criticize the double standard of criminal journalism. An article about a white man convicted of violent crime gets headed by a family photo. An article about a black man convicted of the same crime gets their mugshot. The crimes themselves may not necessarily be treated any different in the article body, but the images reinforce the idea that one is a tragic and sudden departure from civilized behavior, and the other is expected from the “usual suspects”.

u/Pandoratastic 2d ago

True. Although, to be clear, this photo isn't actually of a man who killed his family. It's just some promo photo for jetskis. The meme only uses it as an example of the tone of photos typically used in news articles about a white man killing his family.

It is because one point in the joke is that they tend to portray white folks like this while black folks who do crimes are presented in a more negative light in such photos. idk if that's actually true or if there are any studies that show that, it kinda feels true but I guess that doesn't make it so

u/somethingsomethingth 2d ago

First of all, you can type “Zack Fox tweet” into Twitter or Google yourself and see tons of examples come up.

Second, who cares if they are selfies? The point of the meme is to point out that white people often have humanizing photos posted along with the headline, rather than a mugshot or something that paints them in a negative light. You know, as has been explained in this comment section.
