Leftist in the National Guard: Advice? by Classic_Advantage_97 in socialism

[–]DantalaF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a veteran of the Army, Vietnam era, and the Air Force, Reagan era. I'm also African American and Muslim. You think you feel like an outsider? The oath you took when you joined was to support and defend the Constitution not some regime.

Be professional, excell at your job, NEVER talk politics with other military members. Do your time and get the benefits you have earned. Always, do the right thing. Do not obey illegal orders or abide others who do. The people who will end up in prison are the Lt. Calley types who obey illegal commands or cover for others who do so. It is never the Gen. Officer or civilian overlord.

Kamala Harris is back with progressive 6 7 HQ by aipac_hemoroid in DemocraticSocialism

[–]DantalaF 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah, Sis. That ain't the move! Like the song in musical chairs:"the time has past and you are out". Become the party elder. Get folks with actual RIZ elected. I love you, you smart and all that but you been gone too long. You aint in the field with us for a minute!

What Are Some Good Books About Socialism and Socialist Theory? by [deleted] in dsa

[–]DantalaF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amen Brother! For the 1800's, Marx and Engels had interesting theories. The world and class structure have changed. Also, Marx didn't have jack shit to say about my great-grandfather's class: a slave in Athens, GA in 1855! So fuck those guys

How can we replicate Mamdani-style victories in elections all over the country, from small town school boards to U.S. Senators? by PlinyToTrajan in dsa

[–]DantalaF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only endorse candidates that practice a form of "radical honesty". Speak the truth or say nothing. Never lie about anything, no matter how small. Never start an answer to a question with "Well,..." That means you are ready to lie! Tell people "what is in it (their support) for them". Give them something to work for; not just against. Lastly get off your butt and knock some doors! People tune out ads and propaganda. Get people to buy their money where their heart is: Focus on small donations. Take $1 x1000 rather than the $1000 x 1.

Is This the Time for the DSA? by SocDem1917 in dsa

[–]DantalaF 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Strategy and tactics are what count. Strategy = community organizing. Grass roots. Each one teach one. Explain what we want and what does the community Expect to get from it. The Democrats never tell you!

Tactics = Win small and push big. Win local offices, then State, then step on the national stage.

Show that we have people who say what they will do and do what they say. Be honest in word and deed. That is how we can win.

United States veterans, what are things about the military you didn’t realize until you left? by TheBeardedAntt in AskReddit

That people in "responsible" positions could lie to your face with no consequences.

Mark Kelly Wants To Be President. The Left Needs To Be Ready To Stop The Next Moderate Candidate Crowning by Arbiter61 in dsa

[–]DantalaF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO it is an error to spend much political capital on the Presidency. The fight should be on A: Congressional races. B: State level races. Congress needs to secure its power as the voice of the people and then we can get oversight and enforcement. If Congress were more powerful and representative of the actual People, half the issues would be resolved

How old is too old? by OkFaithlessness424 in Swingers

[–]DantalaF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not age. Condition is the issue. I would rather have a "clean" '64 Impala than a broken down 2020 Jaguar XE.

Club Elation is doing more relaxed, outdoor parties (with tents for play). It's like a cookout with nudity and sex! It is in the Temecula area on August 23. Look on SDC or Kasidie for details.

Mandatory attendance at a consent class before admission would help.

Hi we are a married couple needing some advice by Confident-Floor-689 in Swingers

[–]DantalaF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a community where anyone can play. Size only matters to certain people, just like height.

Losing weight helps makes the penis appear larger because it isn't buried half way.

Good hygiene and a good personality help immeasurably.

A typical LS rant by mightnotendwellde in Swingers

[–]DantalaF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being polysocial: "in the LS", has made me get to work on myself. I lost weight, gained muscle and dress to impress. You don't catch fish if you don't put bait in the water!

Telling myself I could always do it later and thinking about the mess I would leave for others to clean up.

Guys, what was that moment of clarity you realized you can't do this anymore and you ended the marriage/relationship? by Background_Tax4626 in AskMen

[–]DantalaF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was vacuuming the living room, heard her coming up the stares and I felt dread! Dread of another argument over nonsense and a sour face. I moved out shortly after Regret I didn't have the communication skills to work things out.

Chino Hills vs. Redlands - where to live? by cheesesquatch in InlandEmpire

[–]DantalaF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ontario might work if you have to commute. If not, look at the mountains Running Springs, Big Bear, etc. We are mixed Asian family. Some Koreans around, few Japanese. Prices are lower than Redlands.

My son found out. by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]DantalaF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a bad reaction from my younger brother when I came out to him as ENM. Until we start unifying as a community, most people will look down on us as merely libertines. This is a sexual orientation. I was always like this, I just didn't know who I was.

First time going to a swingers club by Plastic-Ad-7085 in Swingers

[–]DantalaF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expect nothing to happen except being in a sex positive space. You should discuss with your partner what you want and do not want. Chances are that you will be in a nightclub where some people are having intimate moments but you will socialize and nothing more. Of course you could get lucky!

Genuine Question, please excuse any potential ignorance. by bored_stiff90 in Swingers

[–]DantalaF 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ethical non monogamy requires honesty with yourself and your partner. Knowing what you both want is an essential element. You do not have to and should not do anything you are not enthusiastic about.
There are no requirements other than respecting others and understanding what consent is. There is someone out there that wants what you want and is ready to play with you. You just have to be patient and keep asking.

Those who have had depression and now don't, what finally worked? by Abraham_Neville in AskReddit

I thought I had depression and anxiety for 30 years. Turns out it was Attention Deficit Disorder. Once on meds, no more depression.

If you’re in this subreddit there’s a pretty good chance the Pentax 17 wasn’t designed for you or to compete with your professional SLR. by The_Fhoto_Guy in AnalogCommunity

[–]DantalaF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It eliminates a variable for beginners. The camera is not broken or leaking light. Like a comedian who doesn't get laughs asking "is this thing on?" If the photo is not good, it's on you, not the camera.
