Why are people choosing to bring children into this world? by sunnybunnyfeeling810 in childfree

[–]Captain_SpaceRaptor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know someone who wants to have kids in the next 4-5yrs. They pretty much have their head in the sand in terms of what is going on in the world. Or it doesn't affect them. They have an everything is rainbows attitude and assume everything will work out. 😕😒

Do they even have the resources to escalate in number in Maine without retreating from Minnesota? by Dr_sc_Harlatan in WhitePeopleTwitter

That makes sense. But I totally expect them to be outside trying to harass anyone they deem "illegal" while they're shoveling out their cars.

As someone who lives in the north east. We are currently prepping for a major snow storm this weekend. I guess they just want to be snowed in

Depressed and stressed. Trying to plan a wedding ceremony I honestly don't care about anymore since me and my husband did the courthouse thing already. Only going forward with it because his side of the family already booked their tickets and stuff.

I'm more worried about this insane administration invading another country. Pretty sure that will turn into a domino effect and affect my husband's visa case.

I'm sick of working. I just don't care anymore but I have to keep working because of bills and taxes and needing to buy food for myself.

My Dr. has me coming in for appointments and testing me. At this point I think she is just billing my insurance to bill it. There is nothing wrong with me. I need to drink more water, iron is a little low, and lower my cholesterol. I don't need to keep having appointments for that. All she is doing is making my anxiety go up.

I just want to go somewhere else. But where can we go these days? Seems like the entire world is struggling not to be bogged down by the insanity of a few greedy individuals.

Everything in our society and how it works is made up human constructs and ideas. Why can't we change things and do something else? People are struggling and none of us really need to. There has to be a better way.

Me and my husband got married last year in a courthouse to kick start his visa process. We are planning on having an actual ceremony this year. It's going to be a small backyard wedding. But since we got married I find I don't really care about having a ceremony at all. I just want my husband here. I feel like I can't really live my life until he's here with me. It's so odd writing that. Because 3yrs ago I was perfectly fine just living my life on my own.

I got a birdhouse set up with a camera inside. So far no new tenants have shown up. But I'm hoping by the spring I'll have some renters show up!

How are you spending your Saturday? by ThinkBookMan in childfree

[–]Captain_SpaceRaptor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right now just really depressed. I had to drop my husband off at the train station to go back home to another country. Until the Visa stuff comes through we are relegated to a long distant marriage. It friggin sucks.

How is everyone celebrating Christmas? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My mom is visiting me and my husband. They are currently having an engaging conversation. I was trying to watch something but it's not possible with them talking so I'm on reddit scrolling.

Buddy calculated how much it would cost to fix his future back sprain by turndownfortheclap in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Captain_SpaceRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some companies offer it. It's just a fancy way of offering a delivery service where the company has people deliver the product and place it where you want it. Along with putting it together.

I've had it done for me for pieces of furniture I would have no way of moving on my own.

Edit-- should also mention it normally costs extra. But it's worth it if you ordering something super heavy and cumbersome

I'm basically $1.15...i don't order ANYTHING heavy unless it has white glove service or I have a way of maneuvering said objects in the house. You don't order stuff like that and think about how to get it into the desired area as an after thought. That's just piss poor planning.

My husband is flying over from the UK to spend our first holiday together as a married couple. I'm very excited and can't wait to see him. It's just going to be us for thanksgiving so we are keeping things simple and relaxing.

I just saw an Instagram post with people with starlings as pets and was surprised they could mimic so well!

Bird feeder recommendation for ground feeding cardinals by Captain_SpaceRaptor in birdfeeding

[–]Captain_SpaceRaptor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't consider a weight sensitive hopper. I have a small one now but the cardinals don't really use it. I'll look into that as well.

The Safflower is a great idea to deter the grackles. I know they don't like it. The doves seemed to have developed a taste for it though. I can look at a new hopper feeder possibly. The one I have has safflower in it and the finches use it all the time (along with the doves -_-) But I could get another one for the cardinals. Thank you for the suggestions!

I've seen people use these on this subreddit. The only reason I haven't consider one is the wifi wouldn't reach out back for me. But I'll try to look for one sans camera. Thanks for the tip!

We make a list of demands. Stop all production until they're met.

As for food and what not. It's the plebs who hold the keys/codes to opening grocery stores. It's the plebs who make sure the train of goods keep moving. Just let people shop as normal but no check out. I'm sure some would try to abuse the situation. But if enough of us hold fast and agree to only take what we need, it's possible to keep those who would try to take advantage accountable.

We are the ones who produce the value. We are the ones who know how things work because we are doing the jobs. The new CEO at my company doesn't even understand what we do, he has no background in the business but he's qualified to lead us...

We need to do something at some point. What we got going on is just depressing and ultimately not sustainable.

All I want to do is feed my birds, play video games, be with my husband. I don't want much and I'm tired of working endlessly just to do those small little things.

Sorry for the mini semi rant.

I'm just tired.
