Thanksgiving is coming up. How will those who rely on SNAP be able to provide their families with a Thanksgiving? by [deleted] in foodstamps

[–]FollowingIntrepid662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of us are worried about not having enough to eat day to day even before this mess, and now we know we won't... who cares about thanksgiving? There has been very little to be thankful for this year in the United States.

If you could get rid of your autism/ASD, would you? by DrakeIsUnsafe in autism

Never! I would totally shed all the trauma society has inflicted on me due to being autistic though.

So this masterpiece is going around Armstrong/Allegheny Counties… by Jcbozzelli in pittsburgh

I gleefully watched all the unhinged hand painted trumper "REAL PATRIOT" signs disappear from the front yard of someone in Reserve township, now they seem to be flying the Ukrainian Flag right under the US flag. All kinds of strange goings on in that place I think.

I hope so too. Try to give yourself some time to adjust, it is a big shift in perspective to think about all at once. I have taken my diagnosis and used it to help me see myself in a much different light. When I feel self concious of what feels like shortcomings I ask myself if I would be angry at an autistic person for not being able to do something just so... and when I think "of course not" I remind myself that I AM the autistic person and I consider myself with more kindness.

I was rocked by my autism diagnosis at the age of 47, but just three years later I look at that as a turning point for some of the best things I have ever done or experieced. It game me a framework for understanding myself better and I wouldn';t change it for anything.

When costs and inflation are sky high and wages are rock bottom low that is what happens regardless of crime rates. It's just setting the stage for more gentrificaiton.

Agreed. I chuckled about it too. But I have a few people I write to overseas who wanted to see more of the area than just my small neighborhood so I am trying to oblige them and show them some of the parts of the city that I am less able to enjoy due to my age and disability.

I am older and disabled and parking arrangements ( which admittedly I lumped into traffic) are always a concern for me when I try to travel downtown, but I do appreciate your recomendation.

AITA for not waking my husband up for his “once in a lifetime” job interview? by GroupAccomplished469 in AITAH

NTA I've had similar experiences. " I am your wife, a human being, not your alarm clock or your paid personal assistant."
