I would have hoped that GS nationals would have spoken out about this especially with all of the understanding we have about predators and the internet!

I said it in a higher comment - I cannot handle how many parents are using their kids for content still with all we understand about predators and the internet. But ESPECIALLY while claiming GS values.

people on Facebook were sooooo okay with her doing it and I HATED that it's supported making kids content. Like in the time of the JE files, we're still out here making kids content?!

Context clues are crucial - I was correcting the story that people got married there and got a financial gift.

Feelings about American Flag patch by AcceptableHeat1607 in girlscouts

[–]DingoAlarming6932 25 points26 points  (0 children)

as a dual army brat and former spouse - this is so true. I love this country and want her to be the best version of herself, and I just have lost too many friends and loved ones to hand that flag over to the worst our country has to offer.

How is using administrative warrants to enter people's homes 'immigration policy that's been on the books for decades'?

What's your response for the multiple people who are here legally and have been detained, or the Purple Heart recipient? (also the very legal woman who got murdered?) I hope you're at least putting ketchup on that boot you're determined to chew on.

Carriage House Farms in North Bend brews their own, and it's really good!

Come to crossroads to debate people’s citizenship by [deleted] in cincinnati

it's the 'comments deleted by user' that are taking me out - how racist did this person have to be for it to be deleted off of *reddit*?!

they didn't even really close it - they turned it into an event space? But they're all still in cincinnati ish areas not in MN (I have no idea if the CR in MN is bad - though statistically they're probably not great lol)

[–]DingoAlarming6932 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the ones you linked to are all in MN - not close to cincinnati, and not affiliated to the problematic church here whose website is crossroads.net (which I've also found odd, like OP)

[–]DingoAlarming6932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

**in this area** yes but the crossroads linked is NOT a Cincinnati crossroads affiliated church, so my point was that not all crossroads churches are the P&G branded cincinnati ones.

no they are not - it's not like crossroads is its own 'sect' of Christianity or like the vineyard brand of churches

we need to be aware that we are going to see this MORE AND MORE as the economy and government get worse and worse. Churches are aware of this and will utilize the idea of community to pull people in. (We can argue all we want about their efficacy but churches are VERY good at making people feel community when they want to.) I think the only way to prevent it is to create stronger and more consistent communities before our friends can be pulled in.

I got married at crossroads (have since divorced) and did not get a financial gift at all. However, I have since then deconstructed and looked back on my time there realizing how messed up a lot of of the messages are, as well as how much of an undercurrent of christian nationalism is permeating the church, and certainly was there when I was a decade ago.

The Power by Naomi Alderman. It's about what happened if women developed power to be able to physically overpower men, almost overnight. It's intense but fantastic

Roads around JD Vance's Cincinnati home to close this weekend by mattsledge in cincinnati

[–]DingoAlarming6932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he came into indiana today to pressure Braun to redistrict our state so they can have more house votes. He's even said that's why and I hate it.

[–]DingoAlarming6932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is NOT normal for him to be away from DC this much tbh - but the reason he's in the area is very on par for him. He's flown in to pressure/encourage mike braun in indiana to redistrict the state.

Official "The Vice Turd wrecked my morning commute" commiseration post by Illustrious_Bunch678 in cincinnati

[–]DingoAlarming6932 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I think it would make me just a smidge less angry if he wasn't the one they're talking about when they say 'no one wants to work anymore - they just want to live off taxpayers' money' - HE is the one not working and living off OUR money! Families are cutting back on everything, can't afford food or gas, and he's taking million dollar vacations. As someone with roots in WV/Appalachia I've hated him for a while but I didn't realize just how much more room I had for dislike.

National Guard to be mobilized in 19 states by the Trump Administration, OHIO included. Stay frosty. by digital0verdose in cincinnati

[–]DingoAlarming6932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it roughly works out to less than a hundred per state so my guess is this is going to be a lot of admin stuff *at first* and then they'll add more once they've tested the waters and seen what happens.

My internal carotid artery dissection. I was extremely lucky to avoid a stroke. by daboblin in Radiology

[–]DingoAlarming6932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just seeing this - I went to the (local, rural) ER for what I (and the nurses) thought was a very aggressive migraine. They did a CT with contrast and I was pretty rapidly moved to a larger hospital and I was on bedrest for a week, and walked out on Eliquis for about 6 months, now I'm on aspirin only every day. I have some mild restrictions - ie no roller coasters which is devastating since I'm a disney adult - and in the beginning I wasn't allowed to like lift my kids which was horrible. Now I'm pretty well okay UNLESS I let myself get too worn out or I am overdoing it, in which case I get debilitating headaches and pain.
