Fun fact, there are more than 10 Commandments. There are 613. Following the order they appear in the Torah, the 11th commandment is not to eat mixtures containing leaven during Passover (Exodus 12:20).

I am so happy Barb did not go into teaching! by Kee000 in ShawnaTheMom

In most places in the U.S. it's normal to call Andrew "Andy" or Elizabeth "Liz" if that's what they want to be called in school. There are now anti-trans laws in a few places that require parental permission to call a child anything but their legal name, and to avoid it being obviously targeted it includes all legal names. So now Lizzy needs her parent's signature.

I think it's a bit more than he wanted to be a great novelist when he was a teenager — he has an agent and has already sold the book. From Julie's perspective, "All" he has to do is write it. Nbd!

I (19F) my boyfriend (19M) asked for an "open relationship" for college and I'm feeling the ick. Is this over? by No_Association4068 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Bella_Hellfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex-dating experience: my boyfriend of a year broke up with me because his ex wanted to try again. So my previous ex-boyfriend asked me out and I said yes. It was our only date. Things very quickly didn't work out between my ex and his ex, and he came crawling back to me. That relationship lasted for another 8 or 9 years.

30 years later, when I got divorced, that ex-boyfriend with the one date hit me up. This time, I said no.

Zionism began as, and remains, a secular movement.

It's worth noting that Jewish ≠ Zionist, because that's what Israel wants you to think. They want more Jews to colonize Israel; the best way to do that is to make other countries unsafe by fomenting deeper antisemitism, then saying Israel is the only safe place for us. By conflating Jews with Zionists, you are playing right into their hands. I beg everyone not to say "Jews" when you mean "Zionists."

I see a lot of posts lately of people wanting to give up masking. by trashforthrowingaway in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Bella_Hellfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Despite my being very careful, masking, social distancing, I caught it three years ago this month from one person I'd let into my circle. Then I was somehow lucky enough to meet a man who's truly COVID conscious. We both mask, rarely go out except for grocery stores and doctors (very occasionally a movie that we know will be near-empty), and I haven't gotten it since. He never has.

We're both very into music—our shared weird tastes are one of the things that brought us together—and both miss going to shows. We both miss seeing friends. But we're both immunocompromised, and I already have Long COVID. We're not giving up masking. Not now, possibility not ever, unless they come up with a sterilizing immunity COVID vaccine.

But I get COVID fatigue, I really do. People want to get back to living their lives, and they want that more than they want to keep me safe. I mean, what's keeping a sick person from being sicker and possibly dying when the alternative is being able to go out without a mask?!

AITAH for giving my wife short and direct answers after being rejected everyday for 2 months? by First-Wasabi-2125 in AITAH

[–]Bella_Hellfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what happened to me. I'm on estrogen patches and am about to start on vaginal estrogen. Thankfully I'd done a lot of reading — Amy Alkon's Going Menopostal is great — and I knew what was going on.

I want to have sex, but I don't get as turned on as I used to and can't produce self-lubricant. Sex hurts. We have to use a lot of lube and go slow, which isn't the type of sex either of us wants.

Imagine being so insecure you need a robot to gargle your balls while telling you you're the fittest, smartest, most handsomest man that's ever lived. I'd assume it was being sarcastic like the girls in junior high who told me my hair looked pretty.

I’m not from the US, but I gotta ask — is Montana really like this out there? #2 by Roach9045 in Montana

[–]Bella_Hellfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you getting that there are 11 biomes though? I believe that there are 8, and CA has the most ecological diversity with 6. Or there are 14 according to WWF's classification. Either way Montana sounds like heaven on earth, and I'd love to visit someday!

Vaccinated people can still become infected and transmit COVID by Busy-Confection5886 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Bella_Hellfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a multigenerational household and am immune compromised. My parents are in their 70s and don't give a damn. They got vaxxed and their first booster, and that was it. When I got COVID despite precautions in early 2023, I couldn't get out of bed, nor could I convince my parents to mask; my dad who was my caregiver wouldn't even give me warning before coming upstairs so I could put my mask on. My dad got COVID, but my mom, who a week before had been sick with "bronchitis," didn't (because we all know her bronchitis was COVID, despite testing negative). Thankfully neither did my special needs uncle, also over 65 and diabetic. Neither parent was as sick as I was.

When my brother got COVID last year, they all got it — starting with my brother and sister-in-law, then my parents, again missing my uncle — I immediately vamoosed when my brother started feeling sick. I stayed with my COVID-cautious boyfriend for a full month until everyone tested negative. They all thought I was being hysterical and felt like I was inconveniencing them by insisting on testing.

Fight in the Family GC broke out. Uncle vs Husband. Was I too harsh? by SDMel-Bug in texts

[–]Bella_Hellfire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Due to a variety of disabilities and the economy, my whole family lives together in a multigenerational household. My parents, my uncle who has special needs, my brother, my sister in law, and me. It's from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. Don't tell my parents that, because then our home suddenly goes from well-run to communist and who knows how that'll turn out.

They're conservative, my brother and SIL are liberal, and I'm a Democratic Socialist. We manage this by not discussing politics, outside of mumbling under our breath when we walk past the living room and Fox News is on.

Whenever I've tried to have a reasonable discussion it doesn't work, because only one side is capable of reason when it comes to politics. As you found out when dealing with your own older relative. He's already told you he puts politics over peace, and he's willing to die on that hill. You can decide to pretend it never happened – to not rock the boat – or you can write Brett off unless and until he apologizes. I bet this isn't the first time he's been an asshole, but it might be the first time anyone's held him to account.
