[@valerielevasseur8674]

It's set in a town in which, as the film progresses, it's gradually revealed that every mother except our main character is [ominous background music] QUIRKY (read: evil). The final boss is a deranged Tik Tok boymom.

Ngl, the automatic trunk door killed me😂

[@yeeyeeyeeye]

My mom would always steal my paychecks so she could buy herself junk food and useless stuff she didn't need, leaving me with literally $0 in my bank account and no money to buy food for myself. On my first date my mom literally called me so she could tell my date to buy her food from the restaurant we were at because "he makes good money" (he didn't at the time). When he told her no (and called her abusive based on previous behavior to him and also what I told him in private), she tried to break us up. It didn't work because I moved out, went no contact with her, and we're now getting married 5 years later.

[@emilyjohn2034]

I love when abusive parents quote the “honor thy parents” and leave out the rest of it which is about parents not bringing their child to anger. That phrase is literally just saying “hey kids respect your parents, and parents don’t give you kids a reason to not respect you”

[@ATTACKofthe6STRINGS]

Ex Christian. The other half of that also never gets properly emphasized in that way. It’s never taught as “kids, respect your parents; parents, don’t give kids reasons not to respect you.” It’s taught as “kids, respect your parents always, because that is the god-ordained order of the family. We are to respect our parents, elders, and authorities, and turn the other cheek, as Christ submitted himself to God, and the Roman authorities…” etc etc etc. On the parents’ side of things, you’re literally lucky if you get little more than “consider not pissing off your kids.”

[@petrfedor1851]

​@@ATTACKofthe6STRINGS One would think the second part is common sense, but here in America, sense is rare. I pity my future adopted children.

[@GretchZ]

Semi-religious, trans queer Jew, here. I have like 7 translations and commentaries on the Torah (first five books) and I read the whole thing at least once. I even read the Christian books (then I rolled a spliff with a page. I was an angy, atheist girl for a minute) Where are you getting that? It says “honour your father and mother, so that you may have long life on the earth.” Then it just moves on to murder, adultery and perjury. Arguably, someone could interpret that as “if you don’t listen to your parents, we’ll shorten your life”. No major religion does, thank Gd. Is this another conspiracy theory, like “the bible doesn’t have homophobia”? The book is very old, and written for shepherds and ish in the Middle East. We’ve got the Hebrew. We’ve always had the Hebrew. People have been writing about the Torah since before Jesus, so we can track how few changes there have ever been. Very traditional translation into Aramaic makes a number of notable changes making things more specific or just small changes from a literal translation. Fun fact: “cross-dressing” wasn’t a problem because gendered clothing even a thing when it was written until we were in Europe. Tunics with fringes. Head coverings. Tradition says Joseph was a femboy. He’s know as “Joseph the Righteous”. I think he’s a righteous dude. It’s gonna have some poopy stuff in it. Here’s the craziest part: even with all the crazy commandments with death penalties and such, the laws were really progressive. “You have to give someone guilty of negligent homicide of a relative the chance to escape to one of three sanctuary cities before you hunt them down and kill them.” Anyway, double and triple check your sources, whenever possible. The bible is in the public domain, so just avoid the NIV et al (so many terrible translations out there) and check a couple. The Robert Alter translation is very academic and only rarely uses traditional interpretation, rather than being literal. Makes note of it, when he does, too. “Masters of birth”* *literally “Like animals.””

[@GretchZ]

My absolute novel of a comment is gone, but no, it doesn’t say that. It says “honour your father and mother so that you may have long life on the earth; don’t kill; don’t…” Must be a new revisionist conspiracy theory. A lot of people out here making stuff up to make a 3000 year old book look better than it is.

[@JosephRaymond-jd9sb]

Some wholesome parenting for yall: a little while ago I told my mom about me being bisexual, and we just joked about the poor selection of dudes ect. Yesterday my dad spent 40+ minutes talking to me about how he'd still accept me and my boyfriend, if I so choose, because he wasn't sure if I knew for sure he would. I'm unlikely to end up marrying a man, but it was still nice to know he'd love the two of us if I did; and that he still considers it marriage.

[@pansepot1490]

I honestly wasn't sure whether it was a joke at first, so I sent him a silly emoji, then wrote "well, you still have to come out of your room." Now I have some adorable pics of him and his boyfriend from Homecoming 😂😂🌈💜💜

Grandma randomly told me if she had to choose between her faith and my life she would choose her faith. So yeah now she wonders why she doesn't see my kid.

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Coming from a very religious family I would say that this is a somewhat "normal" mindset for a true believer. The big question is: Does she still respect other people even if they have different beliefs? I lost my faith but nobody from my family tried to cut me off or something. They are of course not happy with me being an atheist, but they still respect and love me as a person, so it is okay for me. I don't know anything about your grandma, so I don't want to give unqualified advice - just wanted to point out that this statement of hers doesn't automatically make her an evil person.

[@misslayer999]

Yeah my parents would say the exact same thing but it is pretty normal for Christians to be like that because there's a Bible verse commanding that you should leave your family and everything else to follow Jesus. Fucked up, I know and that's part of their faith. I'm the only atheist in my family, and they all know, and of course they don't like that. My mom has said a few mean things about it like telling me I'm going to hell and all that, but for the most part I'm surprised at how they've been at least respectful enough to avoid the topic around me. This is pretty shocking, considering some of the heinous ways my mom has treated me over other things in the past. I'm guessing she's finally getting too old to keep picking fights with her adult kids and realizing it doesn't work and just ends up making them not speak to her. Both my sister and I have went through periods where we cut her off because of her shit.

The disney stalker parents probably raised their daughter in some weird faith tradition that still does parent approved courting and chaperoned dates.

Right now we leave each others asses alone. Buuuuut(t) we are protective. As i am the older brother, i am a factual menace to everybody threatening or bullying my brother anyhow (unless i know it is a joke, but still i am careful around that area) and he got some friends who might not be that impressing but their presence can be, well, cringy enough to just let people disappear out of "Hell, not THAT kind of person, ight ima headout". We are not best brothers, never have been, but we are a tag team if necessary.

5:40 Unschooling trend is unhinged because it took an actual school of thought on how to teach kids which is focused around hyper individualized, hands on education where you use the child's natural interests to teach them what they need to know and keeping them invested because they are only learning"What they want"(They all still learn fractions and reading and everything just are you learning from music sheets, recipes, reading dinosaur books, planting a garden or solving batman themed puzzles, etc depends on the kid) and instead decided "Well unschooling means my kid doesn't have to do anything they don't want to.

About two hours later i get a phone call from an unknown number, i dont answer since im a huge introvert and i never answer unknown numbers. The number leaves a voice message and what i hear is the 50 ish year old father of my then girlfriend screaming about how disgusting and how much of a monster i am, that i am dangerous and toxic. That he REQUIRES to have a (private) chat with me and then with my parents or else he would contact authorities (while also purposefully misgendering me and calling me a creep). A GROWN 50 YO MAN requiring a PRIVATE CHAT with a 16 yo. I told my own parents and they said to not reply and that if he tried to contact me again we would be the one calling the cops.

You know, funny thing I learnt recently, is that the concept and creation of Santa actually came from the Christian movement. In an aim to move away from Christmas being typically a very drunk (or merry) and lude holiday. Whereas with St Nicholas and Santa, it refocussed the holiday into being family friendly/children orientated. In fact for many years, devout Christians wanted to remove Christmas due to the debauchery (which happened temporarily in England). And this is why history is important folks! And a lot more drunk than people think.

My parents didn’t teach me a lot of life skills, and I’m currently dependent on them because I have no bank account, no drivers license, no job, etc. Unless you are specifically knowledgeable on how to teach KIDS, or are using an actual licensed course for homeschooling that’s meant to keep them from falling behind, don’t homeschool.

[@Parker8752]

Most parents barely remember any of the shit they were taught at school. As I recall, the average American adult has a 6th grade reading age. The overwhelming majority of people have no business even trying to homeschool their kids. Here in the UK, as I understand it, home schooling is legal, but you still have to follow the national curriculum, and this is checked up on. You still end up doing standardised testing at a local school, since for obvious reasons the exams can't be done at home with just the parent for supervision.

"Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." -- 1 Timothy 5:8 "As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions." -- Romans 14:1 Secondly, *you didn't make her.* God did. "Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished." -- Proverbs 16:5 "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." -- Philippians 2:3 She is her own person, not your possession. You cannot make her apologize to you. She has no obligation to even talk to you, or do anything you say. If you want her to forgive you, you will need to start by treating her with respect, as a person, and then pray that your actions have not already been too much for her to forgive. And if you actually wanted to be a part of her life, then you should not have kicked her out of yours. "Do to others as you would have them do to you." -- Matthew 7:12 "whatever one sows, that will he also reap." -- Galatians 6:7 If you are truly a good Christian, then you should start by reflecting on your own actions. Consider that this situation might actually be God punishing you for acting contrary to His word, and failing in your obligations as a parent.

That brand of "christian" sees children as property. As The Click himself has said: that kid didn't ask to be born. _You,_ the parents, _made that choice for them,_ therefore _you are responsible_ for that decision, and therefore responsible for raising that child to an adult, with no expectations of any form of reciprocation.

[@jennix8666]

Yep. Saint Nicholas of Myra 15 March 270 - 6 December 343,also known as Nicholas of Bari, was an early Christian bishop of Greek descent from the maritime city of Patara in Anatolia (in modern-day Antalya Province, Turkey) during the time of the Roman Empire. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, children, brewers, pawnbrokers, toymakers, unmarried people, and students in various cities and countries around Europe. His reputation evolved among the pious, as was common for early Christian saints, and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the folklore of Santa Claus ("Saint Nick")

The last story, the "wholesome" one, made me remember of one of my last conversations with my mom. I was supposed to receive a large amount of money I was legally entitled to. My mother convinced me to have it deposited into her bank account and then she would transfer it to my account. I trusted her because why wouldn't I trust my own mother? Well, she stole the money. Months later, she came to me and asked for more money to pay for her credit card that was maxed out (she knew I still had some savings). She had accumulated 10 grand in credit card debt. Obviously, I refused to pay for that. She went nuts but managed to borrow it from some relatives. A couple of months later, she showed up with another 10k bill in credit card expenses the bank was charging her for. She demanded that I used all my savings to pay for that (my savings wouldn't cover even half of that, I had like 3k or 4k), because she was my mother, therefore in her mind, I was responsible for taking care of her insane expenses. There wasn't much of a relationship afterwards.

22:33 I have multiple certificates in food service and I am a food handler it makes me genuinely so upset when parents do this.

She's, weather she realizes or not is exposing her baby to so much bacteria that it physically can't handle.

[@ookamiblade6318]

Tldl: the benefits of pasteurization outweigh the minor losses as we aren’t drinking milk for the specific vitamins lost. And one vitamin we are drinking it for is increased. We do have the science on this, pasteurization does reduce levels of certain vitamins, but they are ones we do not primarily get from milk in the first place and it raises levels of other vitamins. The end result is you might poo/pee/sweat out less of those vitamins and more of the other ones the effect on nutrition is negligible and the benefit is less sickness and death. We drink milk primarily for the calcium, vitamin D, potassium, zinc, amino acids, and protein all of which are not affected by the process, and vitamin A which is increased by the process. We get our B12, B9, C, and E which are reduced elsewhere. B2 isn’t reduce below the daily intake amount and would otherwise be the one nutrient where there would be a concern if it fell below, it does not. The daily is 1.1mg/day and cows milk has 1.83 mg/liter post pasteurization.

[@moocraft8297]

@ookamiblade6318 I want you to tell me how pasteurization actually works for milk and tell me if the process is something cable of get rid of vitamins

[@ookamiblade6318]

@ getting rid of them? Entirely? No. Slightly reduce the levels? Yes. Pasteurization for milk is flash heating the milk to a level just enough to kill bacteria and viruses, but not enough to boil. Depending on the method use to heat the entire process takes 1-15 seconds. The lower the heat the longer it takes. And yes, we are still looking into ways to improve the process so that there is no nutrient loss including ways that do not use heat at all. Currently we usually use microwave volumetric heating (2018) as it is the easiest way to maintain an even application of heat that is gentle and short in duration and there is less nutrient loss than what I reported above which was data from 2001. Almost like when a concern is raised scientists go about trying to solve the problem even when the problem is just ‘concerns’. Though trust me when I say if you ever get the chance to culture raw vs pasteurized milk the amount and variety of potentially fatal bacteria that are often antibiotic resistant in raw make this not much of a hard choice. Raw milk is playing Russian roulette with more bullets than empty slots.

I was her last patient at that office. I have no idea if she managed to get another job or if her license was revoked.

TL;DR: Natural medicine is based on folklore and cannot be standardized without isolating active principles. Any medicine that has been proven to work is properly called "medicine." 'Natural medicine" has no control over dosage, is constantly subject to improper identifications (whether by mistake or with spurious intent), and is often unregulated. You ingest random plant parts at your mortal peril, especially where the difference between a benign dose and a murderous one is impossible to determine prior to administration, or based even on your individual immune system. The amount of foxglove, for example, that I can take from what I grow in its naturalized environment, may very well treat my heart conditions, and absolutely kill anyone else. What I consume today might keep me going; what that same bed and the same strain produce in the next year may kill me outright, or have no effect at all. Living things mutate; they mutate in every generation, and self select for various environmental conditions over time. Anyone that pretends that such-and-such a plant or herbal preparation cures or treats or even "aids" or even "may help prevent" is at best lying to you, to steal your money. At worst, they're trying to kill you. Get scammed uf you like, die if you must, but it won't be because you weren't warned.

[@tealkerberus748]

This is the logical and predictable outcome of people going generations without access to affordable and reliable health care.

That might not have been so creepy, if he’d asked them to introduce themselves, but they didn’t. They would come to cafes where I worked, as customers, & not say anything to me, but then report back to my dad. My father thought it was somehow no big deal & a quirky or sneaky “sweet” thing to do, to bring up things about my life that he couldn’t know about. When u asked how he knew those details, he’d say “Oh, so & so told me. They saw you the other day!” As if it was normal to ask people to SPY ON your grown child from across the country, instead of having them introduce themselves & say “I’m friends with your dad & he said you work here & he asked me to come by & check on you.” That would’ve been mildly creepy, but my dad still doesn’t understand that it WASN’T FUNNY that he had multiple friends spying on me in every city! This was 20+ yrs ago & I still don’t know which customers were spies, & which weren’t! Still makes my hair stand on end.

When I was a kid in a christian school, every year we were given a "Satan Claus" sermon. Ironically, the guest preacher who gave the sermon looked exactly like Santa! It was so ridiculous and over the top we looked forward to it like a funny stage play. 😂

Click is smelling us with Names again. I'm happier than I should be about that I guess.

[@paolaadames8028]

"Honor thy father and mother" ok Karen. The bible also says not to provoke your child's rage, but it doesn't count unless it is convenient for you, right?

[@GretchZ]

Where does it sy anything about “provoking a child’s rage”? I’ve read the Bible. I e read big chunks many times. Multiple translations. Can parse a fair bit of the original Hebrew. There’s nothing like that in the Ten Commandments, and can’t remember it anywhere else. Is it some Jesus thing?

[@derp_dragons]

"stalking them without their consent" - uh, so how does stalking WITH consent work?

[@wartgin]

I'm sure there's someone somewhere with a kink like this. But like all kinks, one discusses it ahead of time and arranges limits and a safe word.

[@ameneko98]

I mean, you could ask someone to stalk you ig? At that point it's more role-playing but still.

[@forrestfey]

Or ask a friend to be there in case of blind date being dangerous.

[@Wild_goat]

1:19 the whiplash I just got 😭

[@KeepTheAngerFlowing]

Real 😭😭

[@ilianceroni]

24:51 the word “Santa” come from the word “saint”, Santa Claus is a distortion of Saint Nicholas, who is a christian saint (in fact there are at least two Saint Nicholas, but the “og” should the greek one)😂 But I gues satan too is a christian character 😂

And yet I assume she still puts up a Christmas tree and wreaths, even tho they were appropriated from Pegan celebrations of Yule

[@jonathanbartlett1098]

Damn, the use of the automatic door was way more sinister than slamming the door would have been. Good job, Wicky Clicky 😂👍

[@smokinggnu6584]

That 'conversation' with the woman and her stalker parent, the parent refuses to elaborate over text and demands an in- person conversation because with text there's now a 'written' record of their BS, actual evidence. A conversation can later be denied or manipulated. Text can't be. Always insist on text communication, or if doing voice calls, record the calls.

[@Werevampiwolf]

Yeah, I was sitting here thinking like "girl, they might just kidnap you at this point if you meet them face to face"

[@slitherw_ing]

It’s always neat when clicky goes into the forest. The Swedish forest looks so pretty.

[@ViktorErikFade]

The logic of the girl trying to tell the family why the brother can't grope her ass Is the same logic of me trying to explain to my older brother why pantsing someone when you are past the single digit age is considered secual harassment and he will end up in jail. But he throws a fit And I just roll my eyes thinking I hope he never let's his intrusive thoughts win as he will be reported

[@alostkoi]

Do you imagine this being your first click video? What an introduction.

[@runningoven]

It is a great introduction to clickety clacky daddy

[@LettiKiss]

Christians: I am so well educated in my own religion, I quote the Bible daily! Also Christians: * doesn't know that Santa is literally Saint Nicholas. An actual Christian saint. *

[@tobyk.4911]

if you talk about St. Nicholas, ok ... but that American pop-culture icon in a red bathrobe, allegedly living at the North Pole with reindeers, is not "literally an actual saint". Not much connection to Christian faith.

[@LettiKiss]

@@tobyk.4911 Yes he is lmaoo. Just because people changed his brand, Santa is still based on St. Nick, has the same name, and spirit of doing good. It's not my problem Americans need to make everything a capitalist nightmare lol. But that doesn't change the fact that Santa is still very very Christian. Probably the only Christian thing about Christmas besides Jesus tbh

[@kittydoescosplay2416]

God, I didn't think I'd have genuine PTSD tonight... That last parent reminded me of when my parents stole my trust fund from my grandparents, forced me to "put away money" by paying them rent they'd definitely pay me back when i moved out (they didn't), and shamed me for buying things like food for myself and items I wanted with my own money. Went minimal contact for years. Starting to have contact again but with boundaries because well...i have no support system other than my fiancee and no friends. I need someone in my life. Don't think I'll ever get an apology or even "oh yeah i remember i did that" because her game is "deny deny deny".

[@kenirainseeker539]

It's her body, the only opinion that matters is hers. Obviously favors the son more

[@Xarestrill]

Hey Click, any chance of getting an episode that's wholesome sometime? It'd be nice to hear something happy for once instead of crazy and hate.

[@ringsystemmusic]

yeah I respect the hustle, but it’s a bit tiring for us watchers and I imagine Click and his team as well.

[@slothdance2020]

My husband and I eloped. My mom planned a dinner for us that night. My husband and I picked the restaurant and we picked the menu together. since it was 15 people we needed to order ahead of time. We were included in everything. My MIL decided to throw us a lunch 2 days later with my husband's family. The food was not kosher, there was one vegetarian option, my husband and I weren't even told about it let alone included in the planning. They served food I was allergic too, they served fish and the smell even makes me sick. I was sick, couldn't eat anything and no one even bothered to introduce me and I didn't know most of his distant relatives.... yea. This was 15 years ago and yes, we are currently NC with them as that was just the beginning.

[@zekromtrainer1222]

That unhinged intro made me really solidify my feelings about that. Whenever I hear that they have to remind their unhinged parents on their FREAKING AGE make me feel like I am losing brain cells. Well all these unhinged parents shave those brain cells off my head quite rapidly to the point where I wonder if there's anything left

[@OKingSizeTv]

r/insaneparents is like reading the origin stories of many serial killers, wtf...

[@FireflyStudios55]

Click's intros are just getting more and more unhinged by the minute, and I am loving it.

[@Nakia11798]

My mom occasionally used my brother's bank when he was on her account. She ALWAYS let him know she made a mistake and paid it back when she could.
