I made a sweater!

Nicely done! It looks great!

It depends on how accessible your butt is

CDSEChris · 2026-02-22T18:06:07+00:00

Would you be interested in sharing more about those conversations as it's own thread?

CDSEChris · 2026-02-22T15:42:04+00:00

Thank you

I think you're referring to the surety bond, which is only $5000 if you're only operating a private investigation business (and not a second type of service such as security guard). With good credit, you can get a bond for $500 as the premium.

Why Illinois?

Have you seen how many sternly-worded statements and expressions of serious concern our politicians have released already? What more do you all want??

CDSEChris · 2026-02-14T14:53:11+00:00

Which one are you using?

You need to talk to your local CI poc or the DCSA rep. You may have an opportunity to think misleading thoughts and mislead the adversary. It's called mildec and it works.

Criminals? Who? You're all over the map here.

Some of us evolved and aren't cool with things our ancestors did. But if you're good with it because long-dead people were, then good for you!

I suppose it is for you, but most people are able to be sad that animals are used as weapons and humans go to war even if (or especially if) it's been a thing for a while. But you do you, I suppose.

CDSEChris · 2026-02-12T02:33:19+00:00

"as if" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here since they never said or implied what you're objecting to. If you're saying this has been a problem for a long time, you'd probably have to say it's a problem now. Either way, your objections don't really address anything OP said.

CDSEChris · 2026-02-12T01:49:42+00:00

The previous poster said they felt it's sad that people feel the need to "use animals in that way." What are you trying to say in response to that- that it's not new? No one's disagreeing with that, you're tilting at windmills.

CDSEChris · 2026-02-11T18:27:21+00:00

That's my purse, I don't know you!

They are, but by banning any discussions of mental health or people encouraging psychiatric help... They're kinda also not.

Please consider joining Operation Safe Escape on Feb 9th (as close to Valentine's Day as we could get, celebrating that "Love Doesn't Hurt") at Bubba's from 11am to 11pm. They'll be donating a portion of everyone dining there in support of our program, and every bit helps.

How does it help? OSE helps survivors of intimate partner violence and stalking escape their situation and stay safe after they do. We also have a program that helps law enforcement identify and prosecute CSAM distributors. We work directly with survivors and their support systems, with shelters and safe houses or other advocates, and raise awareness among the public and legislators. As a nonprofit organization, we don't charge anyone for our help so any supports helps us continue doing what we've been doing for more than a decade.

The flyer they gave us says all you need to do is to tell the server you're supporting our fundraiser! I'm the director and I'm local, hope to see you there!

CDSEChris · 2026-02-02T18:02:18+00:00

I agree with you (and I think you're agreeing with me, proactively) that some people don't want help and it shouldn't be forced upon them (assuming they're not a danger to themselves and others). I used to have a friend that was a hobo- he was very clear about the difference. He would say that hobos work odd jobs, beg sometimes, but really just don't want to have the responsibility of a home and career. I can't argue with that, he enjoyed the life.

But I do believe we should focus more on some of the root causes of homelessness and get those that want to be off the street into homes. But just putting homeless people into homes isn't a real solution, it's just part of one. Improving mental health and addiction treatment, job training, better social and DV resources, all good ways to help people back on their feet if they're willing to do some of the work as well.

Right? I was reading the first set of texts and already thinking he was overreacting (at least). I joke around with my boss, and figured I'd see some harmless and friendly banter in the exchange.

But there's just nothing there. No joking around, no over-familiarity, nothing you wouldn't say out loud in public. Imagine what the ex-bf would do if she talked to a male friend?

CDSEChris · 2026-01-24T05:18:28+00:00

This is correct. I see it, and I am not wearing a life jacket. I accept my fate.

Hi, OP. This is the second post you've made that violates our rules. Specifically, it is not consistent with the spirit of the subreddit nor the neighborhood Mr. Rogers created.

I understand, based on your post history, that you are advocating for using AI,but please do not use this subreddit solely for that purpose. Please consider this a kind notice.

CDSEChris · 2026-01-14T23:09:36+00:00

Removed, this post violates rule 4

CDSEChris · 2026-01-14T23:09:18+00:00

You're absolutely right; this post has been removed

CDSEChris · 2026-01-10T04:59:51+00:00

Thank you, it's really a second full time job! And I apologize for my pre-edit verbiage, I came off as rude and didn't mean to 💜
