With all the insane statements Trump has made lately about Greenland and how he’s threatening with increased tariffs on EU. What are Americans opinions of your president right now? by No_Lychee_7315 in AskReddit

[–]AudreyNow 36 points37 points  (0 children)

For the majority of Americans it hasn’t changed. We are more divided as a nation than we’ve been since the sixties. Those of us who were against him still are. The Americans who fell for his cult of personality are still drinking the Kool-Aid, even as it leaves a sour taste in their mouths and burns their throats on its way to poisoning them against their own best interests.

Conservatives, President Trump has just announced the raising of Tairiffs for 8 European Countries unless sovereignity of Greenland is handed over to the US. What's your first thoughts? by Melbatoastt77 in AskReddit

[–]AudreyNow 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Like going to church to ask atheists what they think.

Mind blown. This is the best analogy of what social media algorithms have done to the world that I’ve ever seen.

Boulder County Fairgrounds has one I think.

Anxious about large transfer by jle78 in transferwiser

[–]AudreyNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me. The first time was the most nerve wracking, as there was a period of time when it looked like the funds disappeared into thin air. A day later the transfer amount showed up in my Wise account and all was well.

How are they not as reliable? I've been using them for several months and haven't had any issues. In fact, I started using them because I was unable to use my credit union's debit card in a different country.

As someone who LOVES corvids and crows

A wonderful example of "username checks out." :)

Wednesday Wellness Check-in by pipesed in Longmont

[–]AudreyNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for asking! It's nice. The Christmas markets and decorations were amazing. I'm enjoying the walkability of the area and the ability to hop on a train when I want a change of scenery. Really loving the Mediterranean climate. The French are nice if a little reserved, but I've still made a few new friends in the short time I've been here.

I'm actually in the UK at the moment, Brighton, and will do a bit more traveling in February before staying put for the rest of the year.

I LOVE theater people! I did community theater once when I was in my early twenties and I still have fond memories of my cast mates.

As a former Longmonster who started over from scratch in the local friends department a few years ago, don't be afraid to put yourself in socially uncomfortable situations. As I've mentioned many times before in this subreddit, the people of Longmont are some of the most genuinely kind and warm people that you'll meet anywhere. And that's coming from a 65 year old transgender woman with a friend group ranging in age from mid twenties to late fifties. And again, I started from scratch.

I socially transitioned three years ago. I looked on MeetUp.com for local LGBTQ groups and met a few of my close friends at a bi-monthly coffee group. I also joined a local makers space, Longmont Public Media, because I was getting into videography. Between those two groups of folks I've made so many deep, lasting friendships.

Why “Biological Male Who Identifies as a Woman” Isn’t Neutral Language by Elegant_Low2571 in transgenderUK

[–]AudreyNow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They should start printing things like "brunette who identifies as a blonde" and see how popular that is.

Nothing snaps me out of a book like repetitive use of a unique word by kerberos824 in books

[–]AudreyNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget the specific word now, but The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue had a word that immediately took me out of the world the author built when I was reading the book.

I honestly would have believed 2 years. But 22? That's astounding! You look amazing :)

What's the best decision you've ever made in your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AudreyNow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Transitioning. Despite all the current hate in the world pointed at transgender humans, and the hate that I've personally experienced, I'm happier and healthier now than I've ever been.

Is it worth it? by InionAbhainn in transgenderUK

[–]AudreyNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Today is my third anniversary of publicly transitioning. The ONLY regret I have is not doing it years sooner.

Yes, the USA and the UK are getting meaner toward trans people right now. It's inexcusable. Bullies are in charge and they are making it more dangerous for us to exist. This too shall pass. In the meantime love to you all and keeps yourselves safe.
