40 Times People Had Such 'Genius' Solutions To Various Problems, They Got Posted On 'Redneck Engineering'

Errr... @GarethGraham, I'm sorry, I'm *from* rural America. We use stone all the time. In many regions of the US, stone was common b/c it's what you got out of the field in order to plant a crop. Or the frost kicked it up. Or both. And brick is cheap if you live near the proper clay to make brick. Brick and masonry aren't urban. They're preference, what you have available easily, and yes, that's *rural* as well. Speaking from a life spent among brick and rock and wood alike.

It seems you have never lived in a brick house built with concrete or so. They withstand hurricanes. I live in a coastal area to the pacific ocean and I can confirm. Storms can blow off the roof, but not the entire house. And if your roof is also brick and concrete, you are safe and sound.

40 Times People Had Such 'Genius' Solutions To Various Problems, They Got Posted On 'Redneck Engineering'

That's false, a quick google search will show that chances of a brick house falling or being swept away by a hurricane or tornado are lower than framed timber houses.

I guess the risk is even greater without the 'cage'. At least the odds are a bit turned in your favor. If you live on the 1st floor of a 10 storey building, it won't do much good.But in a small building or a house, I guess it can still be pretty effective.

Why is it that we Africans use brick or concrete to build walls even though we don't have hurricanes and tornados and america with it's hurricanes are like... we'll see which is the easiest thing for a bit of wind to blow away

People Are Standing Up For Johnny Depp With These 40 Memes While Others Disagree

As if it wasn’t hard enough for women to come forward and accuse someone of sexual assault, people like Amber make it so much easier for sexists to dismiss us. And it is important to remember that men are abused too, but it happens so much less. I hope Johnny Depp is doing well and I hope Amber faces jail time.

People Are Standing Up For Johnny Depp With These 40 Memes While Others Disagree

Amber Heard was arrested in 2009 when she was beating up her former partner. Why is she allowed to continue making movies and Johnny is kicked off on unproven charges of her - a proved abuser and beater?

People Are Standing Up For Johnny Depp With These 40 Memes While Others Disagree

People care because this situation stands for something bigger. A problem that men deal with more often than people think. Yeah women get abused, and there is no justifacation that can make any of that right. But the only stories you hear about are women. Men get abused too. Domestic abuse can be physical or emotional. In this case there is HARD evidence that it's both. People are standing up to this because they care, not only about Johnney Depp, but also about the larger picture that this situation paints. We don't know the full story, but so far we know ENOUGH to know that something is wrong. Symbolism is everything. People want this story to end happily. Maybe other men out there will see this and think there might be a happy end to their story. And if you don't want to "pick sides", thats fine too. No one can force you to care about this stiuation. Just standing up to abusers and supporting the victims though, can mean the WORLD to someone.

And this is why men don't speak out about domestic violence. Amber Heard's actions almost mirror an ex-girlfriend of mine who used to physically attack me and then lie that the bruises she gave herself were down to me. My friends had seen her attack me and had had to physically remove/restrain her from me on occasion, but her friends and family all bought it. I left that relationship after my ribs were broken by her father (she'd previously broken my nose), no one believes that a 6'2" man can be beaten up by 5'6" woman but it happens, because men are taught not to hit women so all you can do is restrain them (which is generally how they get bruises to blame on you).

People Are Standing Up For Johnny Depp With These 40 Memes While Others Disagree

The problem is that the judge who called Depp a wifebeater ignored the fact that Depp never was trailed or even convicted of domestic violence or assaulting Amber Heard. Instead he based his verdict on allegations that weren't proven at all. On the other hand there's more than enough evidence that Amber heard was the offensive and abusive party in the relationship. She even told Johnny Depp that she could do what she wanted because no one would believe Depp. "Go and tell the world that I, Johnny Depp, am a victim of domestic violence and see how many people believe you.". https://www.screengeek.net/2020/02/07/amber-heard-johnny-depp-full-leaked-audio-recording/

Regardless of that total truth here, she should be fired too. The only reason she has kept her job is because she's a woman. As a woman who is hopefully not a total piece of s**t, that angers me.

Families are complicated in the best of circumstances. We could play a game of maybes to rationalize why she wants a picture of her biological sons, but no one here asked her why. No one here knows what is going on in that family. So put down your rocks you're flinging at this effigy to prove you're pious.
