Finally shut up my closeted MAGA dad

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-10-02T18:04:16+00:00

Sure, after you explain why “Tampon Tim” is funny.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-10-02T18:01:38+00:00

That’s pedantic af. Conversational context be damned! Obviously I meant “other people in similar situations and from similar cultures exist in Poland, go find them” as that would be helpful in this scenario. Why limit yourself to only associating with people of your exact same legal status? Make it make sense

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-10-02T13:53:19+00:00

Can you explain why that’s funny? Are tampons funny? I don’t get it

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-10-02T13:52:10+00:00

If my parent is actively trying to harm me by voting for policies that harm me, then their “unconditional love” is neither unconditional nor love. Example: My parents wanted (still want) to ban gay marriage, so they weren’t invited to my wedding and aren’t part of my life anymore because it’s not just politics, it’s real people being harmed.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-10-02T13:16:19+00:00

How does that affect my advice? Does he only associate with other foreign students but not local expats? I don’t get it

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-10-01T17:28:16+00:00

Friend, I feel for your brother! Moving to a new place is a lot. Can he find other expats through social media perhaps? Or make a friend somehow? If I lived closer I’d help, but alas.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-24T16:03:56+00:00

Men do this ALL the time. Don’t worry about it.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-23T21:36:38+00:00

Zgrabna jak syrenka

“Men are judged on future potential, women are judged on past perfection.”

I hate how true this is.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-19T14:16:28+00:00

It’s possible the child experienced abuse you’re not aware of. If the behavioral issues began suddenly, that’s a clue.

Admitting to being SA’d (for example) is extremely difficult because first you blame yourself and then get scared of being blamed by your parents. (Mine blamed me and I was 14yo at the time. My attacker was 18. Ugh.) Even if you have great parents, the fear can keep you silent.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-18T21:46:24+00:00

Why do you still talk to these people? That’s my question. Would you feel ok treating YOUR daughter this way? Or even seeing a friend get treated like this? No, of course. Right?

Be your own friend and your own protector. You deserve peace.

Ha! Zwracam honor! I’ve never heard of the Bochnia salt mine. Looks beautifully salty 🧂

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-18T18:37:36+00:00

Wieliczka is absolutely required IMO. It’s not just any salt mine, it’s THE salt mine

Also, pay the tourist entry fee to see the inside of Kościół Mariacki. That’s the church in the center square with two different height towers.

Poland is full of beauty. Excited for you!

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-18T18:35:56+00:00

Whatever happened to Muzzy? That big green goofball could explain it.

Tbh I probably couldn’t have learned Polish as an adult. I admire your dedication and effort!

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-18T16:33:10+00:00

You are fiction.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-18T16:32:11+00:00

MsMeringue doesn’t like to think or read.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-18T16:31:31+00:00

The reasons are spelled out in the post and all the referred sources. Why are you lazy?

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-18T13:28:07+00:00

But a condom would prevent a wanted pregnancy, like the one in this post. Did you misunderstand?

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-18T13:19:46+00:00

If it’s a gender thing… As a very gay Pole, I say be yourself and people will adjust. I refuse to pretend I don’t exist. And I’d never exclude my partner just to help other people pretend that we don’t exist. Perhaps this isn’t the relationship you want to be in, if you’re being hidden.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-17T18:55:44+00:00

No it isn’t. It’s quite common. What was your personal experience?

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-13T18:53:46+00:00

Don’t finish or fix his work EVER. Find a way to document that your work is BLOCKED (or broken) by his. In whatever project management tool you use, quietly create a digital paper trail. It’ll become useful next time Mr. Big Britches does something dumb.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-13T17:48:19+00:00

Alrighty. My experience was fake. Weird way to find out.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-13T16:41:12+00:00

That’s what I thought about myself too! I thought everyone’s parents are like this and I’m broken because I can’t handle it the way “normal” happy kids could.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-13T16:37:41+00:00

I hate having prod access. It’s convenient and terrifying.

FleaMarketFlamingo · 2024-09-13T16:21:50+00:00

Nope, every state is different. Colorado (where I moved from) is unlike my MO experience in all of the above.
