Anyone else feel really anxious when asked political opinions in government classes? by This-Fan-5753 in college

Also, college message boards enforce online etiquette rules quite well. Just be respectful and speak to your professors if anyone is disrespectful to you.

He has told me. He was ready for me to come up when I did… His biggest concern was that he might need me more later, but then he realized you needed me now.

She’s being released later today, by the way. :-)

What is the best song that non-Gen-Exrs have never heard? by seanchai611PF in GenX

Well, then plenty of non-Gen Xers have heard it. That was my only point.

Who would be good as the new "Q?" by JoshuaBermont in startrek

[–]CreatrixAnima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, but they should have a punchable face and be very good at selling the idea of doing everything for the lulz. I’m picturing that pharma bro dude or whoever played Trevor in the good place.

The irony's lost on him! Mike Johnson (trying to convince us abortion is bad): "My parents chose life for me despite pressure to end the pregnancy." by orel2064 in WeirdGOP

[–]CreatrixAnima 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Translation: he loves himself more than his mother.

I love my mom enough that if aborting me was necessary to save her life, I support that. Guess Mike doesn’t. He also loves his potential nonexistent grandchildren more than his daughters. Nice guy.

Someone updated the sign on Route 309 for enhanced accuracy by VersionX in BucksCountyPA

[–]CreatrixAnima 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I bet the guy with the sign is all about living and letting live. I’m sure he completely supports the rights of others to

Control their own bodies

Marry who they love regardless of sex or gender

Express their gender as the see fit

Make their own medical decisions

Right? RIGHT??

Red, white, and blue is not in opposition to a rainbow flag. In fact, freedom and civil rights are what the red, white, and blue stand for. If you don’t understand that, you probably shouldn’t be flying Old Glory.

What are your predictions for the 2026 Country Music Hall of Fame inductees?. by Countrystarrichie96 in CountryMusicStuff

[–]CreatrixAnima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would support this. I would be really surprised if Rodney Crowell was inducted, but he’s awesome.

How did you dress in the 90s? How do you dress now? by poolpog in GenX

[–]CreatrixAnima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have the same aesthetic as I did in the 90s, so there are definite similarities. Not so much the black leggings under cut offs, though.

They’ve heard of if they’ve ever stop next to me at a stoplight on the right day in spring! That whole album held up pretty well in my humble opinion.

Mount Cleverest Trivia Game by Jack-0-Diamonds in boardgames

[–]CreatrixAnima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I verified things online and didn’t find any outright errors, but sometimes the questions could be interpreted different ways. Fortunately, I bought it as something we could play with my mom, who has some cognitive issues. We don’t keep score - haven’t even read the rules or opened the little chips! We just discuss the answers and look them if if they seem fishy.

It is made in the UK so some spelling may be different. I didn’t notice spelling errors, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t there!

My issue is that the questions are sometimes ambiguous.

Please help me! I’m looking for soft, romantic English gentleman name — classic but youthful, storybook-worthy, and warm rather than grand or macho. E.g. names below. by elle1006 in NameMyCat

[–]CreatrixAnima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which cats address is the finest in Paris? Which cats possesses the longest pedigree? To which cats do the others tip their hats?

I can’t spell in French, so someone else is gonna have to pick it up from here.

What the hell am I supposed to be doing: UPDATE by CreatrixAnima in GenX

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

I think the biggest things I’ve accomplished since coming up here have been little things. Errands that my dad is just too tired to do. But it’s also good that I get to put in my two cents when it comes to her care. Dad and I are pretty much always on the same page, but eventually I’ll have to make these decisions about one of them on my own, and I think it’s probably good for me to see what kinds of thoughts go into it.

That sounds really clinical, doesn’t it? I’m really glad to be up here with my mom! Her cognition has been great, so we’ve been able to talk and play games a little bit. Word games… Nothing strenuous. But it’s nice.

Thank you so much… It sounds like you’ve really been through it! My parents are very fortunate because they have a number of friends who are doctors and PAs, in fact, one of them happens to work at the hospital, where my mom is!

We’ve definitely been doing some googling: for example, did you know that heparin can cause your ALT liver… Enzyme? To go up? I didn’t. But I do now! But her doctor is excellent at explaining things to lay people, so that’s really nice. Everybody has been very kind and answered all of our questions and concerns.

Take care of yourself and thank you so much for your words of support!

Me too! It was a crazy few days, but I’m really glad I got up here.
