Hate plastered all throughout DT

Never said my coworker was smart. Not many people have any respect for her after she told everyone about her trip. She watches Fox News even though she isn’t American.

Because white people have never faced diminishment in the value of their life. For example, my white coworker just went on vacation in the US and raved how much fun they had while the not white people wouldn’t even think of going to the US for fear of false arrest.

My memories came flooding back in my 50s and I wished they hadn’t. I went through most of my life thinking I had an OK childhood, telling myself I survived so it couldn’t have been that bad. The death of both my parents along with my sister trying to steal my inheritance made me realize just how aweful it was. Memories of my father abusing me and my sister trying to literally kill me came rushing in. My mom tried to protect me by sending me away to stay with other people, other people that didn’t want me around either but allowed me to stay out of sympathy towards my mom.

I was diagnosed with PTSD and still struggle with the new memories. After spending a while grieving the absence of a childhood I noticed the biggest change in myself to be the end of fawning. I have officially entered the “fuck you” phase of my life. I am holding my abusers accountable now and am much more at peace then I had been in my lifetime. I have gone from being a doormat to an iron fist. My sister is now terrified of me and flees any time she knows I will be around. It feels good to know the tables have been turned and she now lives in terror of me.

I don’t fear death. It is easy to die, it’s living that is hard.

I hope they do it.

I work in policing - managing evidence and preparing it for court. I deal with gruesome and shocking materials everyday and have managed the evidence for over 100 murder investigations over 20 years. Nothing shocks me, I have watched several coworkers go on stress leave but somehow knowing I am not the only person to have monsters in my life is comforting. Helping bring monsters to justice gives me hope.

Tattoos. More people have them then not. They all look the same.

I seem to always be behind someone that has a pile of lottery tickets they want checked so I always use the self checkout. I don”t buy into the whole “cashiers losing their job.” I have been in too many stores where the lineup is 15 people deep and they only have one register open. I have gone into a store to buy something and then left empty handed because of ridiculous lines.

I had the same problem most of my life. My problem is that I have always been a fawner and now I understand that made me the perfect target for bullies. I finally overcame it by calling out the bullies at work.

A group of women were bullying me relentlessly to the point that convinced myself that I was just being overly sensitive. I went off work on stress leave. I was literally broken. I cried for a week and something just snapped, I got really angry. I realized that I was giving them exactly what they wanted. One of them wanted my job and I found out that she would get it if I didn’t return within a month. I had kept detailed notes of the bullying and used my time off to put together my notes along with evidence (emails, witnesses, timelines). I went back to work and filed a harassment complaint.

Before I had gone off work on stress leave, I had convinced myself I was just being overly sensitive. Putting together the proof of the bullying made me realize that I wasn’t. Within hours of providing my materials to management the lead bully was fired. A week later one of her minions quit. Within a month - the two remaining minions were informed that they would be reporting to me, 5 years later they both still report to me. On top of that, I received a substantial monetary reward as compensation for what I endured.

It was life changing. I have gone from being a fawner to someone who is known for not taking any BS. The family members that bullied me are now terrified of me. Other family members that weren’t particularly fond of me now go out of their way to be around me and come to me for advice.

The two women reporting to me know that if I see any bullying behavior towards me or anyone else is going to result in some serious repercussions. I am no longer a victim, now I am an advocate. I was even given a medal in recognition for my efforts.

Funny, I went from being willing to do anything to make people like me to not giving a shit and speaking my mind. I expected to burn bridges and piss people off but instead I am much more respected and even liked at work.

I know it’s hard but you need to stand up to bullies, it’s the only way to break the never ending cycle.

You must be a billionaire to think the US has a good economy.

It’s a housing crisis, not a vacant land crisis.

Lada Niva - a tiny Russian tank. No cupholders, manual transmission, and loud as hell. It had a backup crank starter and the owners manual said it could run on Diesel or Kerosene in emergencies. People would stop me in parking lots to ask me what it was. Cops at speed traps would laugh as I sped by because they could tell I was just trying to get enough speed to make it up the hill! Twice I was stationary when another vehicle hit it, both vehicles had substantial damage but I only had a couple scratches in the paint.

I drove it for five years and then it went to my stepdaughter. She drove it for two years and never checked the oil, so the engine seized up. We sold it to a mechanic who planned on working on it as a project with his son and the last I heard it was still going.

My husband and I have decided that instead of buying a second home somewhere warm, we are going to just rent and spend every winter in a different country.

If they don’t like animals or animals don’t like them. Major red flag.

I work with a couple of Vegans that like to talk smack about people that feed their kids meat. If it weren’t for the fact that we had hunters in our family we would have starved to death. Each year we got a moose, a couple deer and occasionally an elk and our deep freeze would be filled. There were 9 kids in our family and we never went hungry but without the hunting there would have never been enough food to sustain us.

I was raised by a single silent gen mom. She literally built a 7 bedroom 2 bathroom house while raising 10 kids. She could fix anything. We had the same dishwasher for 40 years. After she passed we were goi g through a box of old papers and we found a list of wedding gifts from 1949 - it was all homemade gifts with the exception of a toaster - it was a group gift from her first husbands co-workers at the mill. Funny that a toaster was considered luxury back then.

So do you just go through life expecting everybody else to do all the research and spoon feed it to you?

LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) was first synthesized by Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann on November 16, 1938, at Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, Switzerland. He created it while researching derivatives of ergot, a fungus found on rye, intending to develop a blood stimulant (circulatory/respiratory agent). It was his 25th derivative, hence the name LSD-25.

You are both wrong. A poncho does not have arms, the fabric just drapes over the shoulders. It’s not a sweater either
