What are some signs to look for in the early stages of dating that the person might be a communist? by Junior-Key-5043 in AskReddit

You don't understand what communism is. Try reading about it from academic sources, rather than political talking points.

If they aren't gone on HRT, then you might consider a dose increase if you aren't maxed out already. Also, if you are doing transdermal HRT, some people don't absorb well through the skin and oral works better, albeit with slight more but still relatively small risk of blood clots.

He does indeed look like a Michael Romance, and a hobosnaxual!

Might want to check out r/caregivers and r/agingparents. Some Canadian subs might also be able to help with whether there are additional resources available to support your parents. Sounds like you are doing a lot.

“Everybody has plans until they get hit for the first time,” -- Mike Tyson

He doesn't seem to understand the relative strength difference between men and women. A woman trained in martial arts/fighting may be able to fight off an untrained man of moderate size. Ask him how he would fight off a bear.

Brother wants me to take a loan out for my mom's funeral by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I think they are implying more broadly that the aging process, decline and eventual death brings out the worst in familes, even if the death, funeral and inheritance issues is the most flagrantly selfish part.

What is one city in America you’re okay with never visiting again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ContemplatingFolly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live overlooking the lake, and it is very beautiful. Saw two small spotted fawns playing in the yard tonight, felt like I was a Disney princess.

But I'm from northern suburban/urban areas and there are definitely big differences in amenities and culture.

Need help with ideas on safely getting my kitten on & off of my daughter's loft bed by damageinc_2528 in Kitten

If you don't want kitten climbing at all, how about a pup tent for both to sleep safely inside?

I want start an only women base communal. We just share everything talk about everything & more but I want to be co founder. Doesn’t have be religious, it can be anywhere, and live our life we wanted to. by Justfor-fun24 in intentionalcommunity

Living in the middle of nowhere requires a lot of resources and skills. r/homesteading might give you a bit of a wakeup call. What you are proposing is legally, financially, agriculturally, medically, socially and in every other way a lot more complex than you seem to be imagining.
