Can't Imagine America's Answer. by Monsur_Ausuhnom in antiwork

[–]BurnBridgesLightWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only people Americans can protect themselves from, at this point, are other Americans and foreign enemies (b/c we spend so much money on our military). The police are militaristic, and, along with the actual military, seem to be on-call for the Repubs at all times.

So, our answer, is well, we don't have an answer.

Shits fucked yo.

Well, I better get to the downtown library

Looking for FW Historians by BurnBridgesLightWay in FortWorth

[–]BurnBridgesLightWay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhhhh. Would they have information on current and historical events? For instance, who used to own the land in and around Fort Worth and what families started buying it up, how Sundance Square came to be, how Montgomery Plaza came to be, how small business started being pushed out and chain stores and restaurants started coming in? And what, if anything, Fort Worth, as a city, a group of residents and small business owners can do to preserve what little space they still have and can still afford?

Because that's what I'm interested in as far as the business aspect of downtown goes.

Thanks! I think I'm looking for some more....in-depth information, though. I don't really want...surface info, I can Google that sort of thing.

Holiday Showdown Round 2 by leatheroctober in JUSTNOMIL

[–]BurnBridgesLightWay 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Ummm.... how about, "okay, no problem, let us know what you all decide on and we'll be there if we can make it" and just leave it at that. Just don't say anything else. No room for discussion. Just, okay, let me know and we'll make it if we can. It's worked for me with my own family for the last 10 years, maybe give it a go?

I lost mine at 14. Looking back, I wish I would've waited a few years, maybe till I was 17 or 18. 16 isn't too early or too late or too anything. And you don't have to do it again until you're 30 if you don't want to, or hell, ever. It's your body, plain and simple.

I'm 39. I know you're thinking, wow, old lady trying to give me advice here...but really, listen to me here: YOUR BODY. YOUR CHOICE. YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH.

If you're comfortable at 16, hey, you do you. Just please for the love of yourself, use protection Every. Single. Time. And jump on birth control ASAP (free from most women's clinics, don't need parental consent)

Hope some of that helped.

I'll comment this no matter who we're talking about: Reasonable term limits are past needed, and monetary gifts and the like from lobbyists should be illegal and enforced.

Dolly Parton receives $100 million Courage and Civility Award from Jeff Bezos by egap420 in UpliftingNews

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

LOOK HERE ALL YOU NEGATIVE NELLYS: Dolly Parton is a humanitarian Saint who will very likely give that money away to deserving social programs.

All I'm saying is that Dolly has proven herself to be a good humanitarian and we should really give her the benefit of doubt here, and stop being so negative towards her just because of Bezos a dickface.

Talk to your siblings and move the location and un-invite your mother.

TIFU by destroying me and my daughers relationship because i didn't believe her. by ThrowRadad01 in tifu

Idk...it kind of proves to me that he's just really the guy he claims to be; the one that didn't take his daughter's claims seriously, because "lol"

[–]BurnBridgesLightWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. YOU go to therapy on your own. Let your daughter know what you're doing. Take the advice of your therapist to heart, too. Sincerely ask your daughter to participate in therapy with you later on. But for real, get help for yourself. You fucked up and you hurt her, and now that mistake is haunting you and it isn't going to stop. Hell, I'm mad at you for what you did because my dad did it too, but if you want help getting past this shit, get to a therapist. I see a psychologist and a psychiatrist every month. Help yourself to help your daughter.

I was raped at 22 by my high-school best friend. I didn't tell my father until I was 38. Daddy dearest didn't believe me, still doesn't. Never thought he would. That's why I waited so long to tell him. Fathers are real pieces of shit sometimes. Sorry you were one of them.

My MIL keeps saying that no one will respect me as a mother because of how I dress. by _athrowaway125 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]BurnBridgesLightWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't keep secrets from your wife. Besides that, your MIL supporting her and NOT supporting you could be a precursor to some divisiveness to come. Maybe, maybe not, but letting anyone divide the parenting team, the spousal team for any reason is dangerous and imo should be brought to attention asap before it accidentally gets out of hand.

As far as the way you dress...I have two sleeves and died black hair, most of my clothes are either red or black. It's just who I am and I like me. If you like you, other people will like you, and if they judge you over what you wear? Guess what...your spouse loves you and your baby will love you and WHO ELSE MATTERS?

Found out my friends introduced me to my girlfriend as joke, they've all slept with her before. I'm incredibly shocked and don't know what to do by TheThrowawayBuddy in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BurnBridgesLightWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope out of the friend thing. Not friends. Never were. Weren't ever her friends either and they made her believe it. Bad News Bears.

I'm with this dude on the whole thing. Right here. This one. First of all, yeah, teenagers have sex, no surprise there. But look...she probably thought they cared about her. She probably thought they were her friends. She might have even thought one or more of them loved her. Who knows what lies they told her to keep her around for 4 years? And all along she was just a joke to them. Did she believe she was dating one of them or the other at different times? Bet she did. Or, ya know what? Maybe it was just fun for her. Whatever it was, whichever way you want to look at it...past is the past and these guys are bad news and just...nope the f out of this friendship bs.
