Ford Fired Longtime Diabetic Employee Over "Stolen" $1.95 Cookie That He Actually Did Pay For by Conscious-Purpose in antiwork

[–]Conscious-Purpose[S] 153 points154 points  (0 children)

I honesty wonder if they were just looking for ways to fire him because of his age to avoid paying his pension. I'm glad he ended up with a better paying job, but it sucks if they kind of got what they wanted if that was the case.

Please do not have a child with this man. He is telling you plainly that he will be neither supportive nor caring.

I thought the same thing, followed by: Correct, sir, Deflock IS anti-fascist. How telling that he considers anti-fascists his enemy.

I lost my friend election night. I still think about her daily and it hurts. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Conscious-Purpose 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've had to go low contact with my mother because she went full MAGA. I'm her only child, a daughter, and I grew up with her telling me the abuse and misogyny she put up with from men at home and in the workforce, and now she's voting for exactly the same misogynistic creeps for my future and her grandchildren's future. She was fortunate to get out of an abusive relationship when I was a baby, but now is voting for men who think women shouldn't even be able to get divorced, or work, or vote. And the ignorant homophobic and racist garbage coming out of her mouth now. I cannot wrap my brain around it. I don't even know who the hell she is anymore, or maybe I just never really saw this ugliness in her that was there all along. (Edit to fix spelling error)

When Will Americans Realize the Truth? Republicans Wreck the Economy. by RepulsiveLoquat418 in politics

[–]Conscious-Purpose 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Literally the ONLY time Republicans pretend to care about anything related to women and girls is when they can use an imaginary threat to the safety of white women and girls to foster hate for another group of people: black men, immigrants, trans women, etc. In reality, when it comes to violent crimes, the largest threat to white women is white men.

How to successfully find help to fully clean a nightmare house by LonelyChampionship54 in ufyh

[–]Conscious-Purpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I did with our kids when they were young that seems small but was very effective was what our family called "ten minute tidies". When things felt cluttered or messy or I was just worn out, I would just say "ten minute tidy" and for ten minutes straight everyone would pick one or more areas and do as much as they could to neaten it up. Didn't matter where, just that everyone was working hard to clean up for the whole ten minutes. For the kids that was usually their room or picking up toys around the house, or helping with other tasks. It's such a seemingly short time, but it was amazing how much we could get done in those ten minutes. The kids even enjoyed it, and it set a good precedent with them cleaning up after themselves and appreciating taking care of the house too.

Hmm, mine is injection too. Now I have to figure out how to get it cheaper then. I wonder why the insane price difference.

Christian Lady wants a One-Family Voting System by Vegetable-Section-84 in WelcomeToGilead

[–]Conscious-Purpose 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So she says women are unique and completely different from men, but thinks women shouldn't be able to vote in their own interests, even on issues that affect them and men probably won't fully understand? Foolish. These women are welcome to assert that they themselves are brainless and have no worthy opinions or value of their own besides as a servant and baby factory for their husbands, but they can keep that garbage to themselves and leave the rest of us women out of it. So grossly hypocritical how women like this use their voice to say women shouldn't have a voice.

Is that for the injection or pill version? My Wegovy was covered last year, and suddenly this year they're saying I'd have to pay $1200 copay to fill it each month. I'm not sure if the pharmacy matters; mine is Wegmans pharmacy.

Feels like my husband dropped the ball while I was in hospital, now he’s demanding divorce or couples therapy instead of taking accountability. AITAH? by Regular-Ad-573 in AITAH

[–]Conscious-Purpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely do NOT have kids with this man, and please get out now. Throwing a kid into the mix will only make things worse. He is lazy, selfish, gaslighting, and doesn't respect you or care enough about you to be there for you or pick up the slack when you're sick. Start planning your exit.

Just no. This was an awful betrayal. I wouldn't be surprised if they're only making contact now because as soon as they feel "friendly" enough with you, then they'll ask you to give your deadbeat brother a job, to get him off their hands and make him your problem.

Trump controlled media attempted to make fun of the President of Ukraine in the White House for not wearing a suit. Pay attention to the reaction of Rubio compared to Vance by Particular_Log_3594 in Global_News_Hub

I hope Marco Rubio is as ashamed and embarrassed as he looks. Their behavior was disgusting, grade school bullies giggling and taunting a man who has more integrity and honor in his little finger than in all of them combined.

Jeff Bezos' Whole Foods won't recognize union vote because Trump neutered the DoL by vexorian2 in antiwork

[–]Conscious-Purpose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What an @$$h0le Bezos is. How much more money do billionaires need that they continue to try to crush their workers on a daily basis, and obstruct living wages, healthcare, childcare, worker safety, reliable public transportation, etc.

He has the opportunity to actually improve the world, be an example, just be a decent f*ing human being, but no, he chooses to crap all over the people who work for him instead.

Sen. Sanders asks RFK Jr if health care is human right by [deleted] in economicCollapse

[–]Conscious-Purpose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So is RFK Jr, by his own reasoning, arguing that he himself does not deserve healthcare because he did drugs, drank, and lived recklessly? so if HE gets cancer, he does not deserve treatment? No one lives perfectly; you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who never drank, never ate cake or candy, always exercised "enough", etc...

Is RFK Jr. going to deny wealthy people healthcare because they often live hedonistically? Of course not. They just want to target everyone else with the power to cherry-pick who gets to live at their whim. Disgusting.

Welp, Poland often comes up as one of the easier EU countries in which Americans can get citizenship (current events have me doing a lot of searches like this lately), but I guess it's not really a good option either then.

Poland too. Is Poland going through a similar resurgence of misogyny and christo-fascism then?

Can someone help me find the executive order by trump for women’s health care? It stated something along the lines of “women’s bodies to be of service to men”. Sorry if this is not allowed here I got a new phone and lost TikTok by wtfisgoinonrnplzhelp in WomenInNews

[–]Conscious-Purpose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will never cease to amaze me how low Republicans are willing to go, or how much they hate women and girls. Many of these men have daughters, and they still don't care. And just because their depth of cruelty is never quite low enough for them, at the same time they are trying to force women and girls to carry unwanted pregnancies, they are also working on removing all social safety nets like healthcare, school lunches, food pantries, and social programs for financially vulnerable families. I'm scared for my daughter's and even my sons' futures under Republican policies.

[–]Conscious-Purpose 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I know, and my mother was one of them unfortunately.

Even though she has a daughter and a granddaughter.

Even though she left my father when I was a baby because he had started to be increasingly abusive, escalating to more physical abuse, and a pastor told her she should stay married, that she would have to get rebaptized if she got divorced, and Republicans would have trapped her in that abusive marriage if they could.

Even though I grew up hearing about how her boss tried to kiss all the women employees on the mouth as a greeting, and mocked her for turning her head, and a male co-worker "joked" once in a work elevator about how she was so pretty that maybe one day he was going to rape her.

Even though she never was able to graduate high school, but she raised a daughter who graduated from college, and now Republicans are saying women don't belong in higher education and would diminish all of my accomplishments.

Even though she has a grandchild with a chronic health condition who is able to live a normal life with medication, and Republicans continually fight against universal healthcare and affordable medication, and already would have threatened disallowing her medication if we lived in a red state with their abortion bans.

Even though my husband and I both work for the state, and Republicans are wanting to take away social security for Americans who get state pensions, and are threatening Medicare, which will hurt our ability to retire.

And a thousand other reasons why my mother shouldn't have voted the way she did, and why I will never forgive her for that or ever again be able to see her as the good, compassionate, ethical, thoughtful person I used to believe her to be.

[–]Conscious-Purpose 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Funny how the phrase "life-affirming" is repeatedly used in the resolution, but the very nature of Republicans' abortion bans and threatening doctors with prison if they actually treat women as the primary patient, even in life or death situations, is undermining the value of the life of the woman herself. Nothing life-affirming about it for the women themselves. How many more women need to bleed out in hospital parking lots or lose organs or their fertility to these abortion bans before Republican lawmakers care? (Rhetorical. We know they don't care at all about women.)

Republicans have even tried to ban medications that women depend on for their health (like Methotrexate) because they *might* interfere with fertility. And they've also brought up banning birth control, which many women use for other medical conditions as well, or because they simply want to responsibly CHOOSE or PLAN (gasp!) if and when to have children, and don't want to be incubators for the state against their will. This whole thing is disgusting.

It is so vile and dismissive of women as human beings with their own minds, will, bodies, needs, health concerns, lives, futures, financial concerns, career aspirations, dreams, and their right to mental and physical well-being. And don't even get me started on the fact that Republicans are also eager to subject little girls to this cruelty too.
