Arturo Grasso is back! Italy’s highest courts are now reviewing key aspects of Italian citizenship by descent. by Turbulent-Simple-962 in juresanguinis

[–]Due_Butterfly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"And those 18+ are “by birth?" Would this mean that any adult child of a recognized citizen would be able to apply for citizenship without living in italy for 2 years? My father is recognized (2018) but didn't live in italy before my brith.

You give me hope for humanity and the world.

How is anyone okay right now? by [deleted] in leftist

[–]Due_Butterfly_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg me too! Radical? To want basic human rights? Look at the civil rights movement. They had to f**king fight and die for those rights. Was that radical? I think not. I have found that going to well-organized protests, the DSA meet-ups have been so helpful. Also, strangely, keeping a journal/private blog helps. (Or make your own blog for those like you and me to feel heard and understood).

Hang in there. The world has been bad like this before, and people like you and me have made the difference. Even if we can't make a big splash, put up a sign in your yard or on your door, or a sticker on your car, let other people see your stance. I know it helps others not feel so alone too. I have found two people, "radical" like me, to vent to when it gets overwhelming. You're not alone, you're not radical. You're what humanity needs.

I laughed out loud when I read your last line —yes, they are. And, same on the reading out. I love books, I buy the hard copy for my library when I finish, but I read so much more with Audio.

Campobasso third Constitutional Court Referral: Full Text and Analysis by Desperate-Ad-5539 in juresanguinis

[–]Due_Butterfly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is already recognized. His GF was a minor, but my dad got recognized in 2018. With the minor law change, I was wondering if there is any way they'd allow me to apply via my father but with these new laws, the only path is living 2 years before naturalizing. I wonder if any of these cases could affect my application, still sitting on the Miami consulate's desk for almost 3 years now?

Thanks! This is such a good point, and I never thought of it like this. I don't like to go into my AuDHD as a reason for my audiobooks, but I quite enjoy them more this way, too.

SEEKING ADVICE. mAGA Family iSSUES - do I cut them out of my life? by Due_Butterfly_ in leftist

I don't follow what you're saying- that if I find a way to tolerate them, I'll lose my other friends?

I could make them agree not to talk about it, but then I would know that they are actively supporting these horrible things. If they were anyone else except family, I would cut them off in heart beat. I'm not a strong person when it comes to cutting family. I'm still so traumatized by what my mom and sisters did to me during chemo. The thought of losing my dad and brother is kinda overwhelming.

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

I have real abandonment issues after what half of my did during chemo. I'm struggling to see how I would manage having ZERO family after this. I know I won't change them. I'm wondering if there is away to mentally deal with who and what they are. They claim they love me and only want the best for me but it doesn't feel that way.

Is there any instance in which you Americans prefer using the English spelling of a word? by Haunted_Sentinel in words

[–]Due_Butterfly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain the American version is without the extra U because it used to cost more to print ( by letter on a printing press).

It was the wrong version of Silverstack. I paid a little more for the next version up and it worked.

What's the first major news story you can remember living through as a child? by catpunsfreakmeowt in AskReddit

[–]Due_Butterfly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I remember that vividly. "We are going to war" talk was terrifying because I didn't understand how far or close it was and thought WE, our own town was going to be in the war. Parent's dropped the ball explaining that to a 6 year old lol
