UFC Hall of Famer, former [WWE star and actress]( Ronda Rousey had [a Reddit AMA]( (Ask Me Anything) session on Tuesday, August 20, to promote the Kickstarter page for her first graphic novel. But things didn’t go as she planned. The post was flooded with Redditors asking her about the 2012 mass shooting at [Sandy Hook Elementary School]( in Newtown, Connecticut, that left 26 people dead, including 20 young students. A month after the tragedy, Rousey posted a link to a YouTube [conspiracy video]( about the shooting that she called “extremely interesting” and “must-watch.” Three days after the AMA and 11 years after posting the controversial video, Rousey posted a heartfelt apology on Twitter. “I can't say how many times I've redrafted this apology over the last 11 years. How many times I've convinced myself it wasn't the right time or that I'd be causing even more damage by giving it. But eleven years ago I made the single most regrettable decision of my life,” she wrote.

And thankfully, he got what he needed—and then some. “I'm a single dad and my daughter (soon to be 13) has just started her first period.

This isn't something that needs to be studied and researched, it's a pretty common fact that humans have. The reasons babies cry is because they can't talk to tell us what they need, at least that's what the general understanding has been for centuries. But what if some babies could talk and we simply haven't been exposed to them because the world is so big?
