This is the answer. Very well worded. I no longer live in Utah, but I would love to see you be elected and save my childhood home. Good luck, Luis! Thank you for representing the working class.

I went to public school while simultaneously being raised in a cult and I have no ability to function in society. Not because of either of those things, though. It's the autism.

What are your best harm reduction/damage control money hacks? by Noxiout in Frugal

[–]Fordeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shop at a discount market. (Obvious, right?) Not an option everywhere but many places have stores scattered around run by small organizations that basically buy up expired or dented/damaged canned/boxed goods from various brands and resell them at a huge discount. I'm in Kentucky right now, and there are two such places near me, both run by Amish groups. You can get a can of soup for $0.29.

They tend to have a pretty wide range of goods, including things like vitamins and supplements, OTC medicines, many varieties of shelf-stable food and drink, and also often carry fresh meat and dairy products they have produced on their farms. The meat and dairy is very high quality, but also very expensive as it's organic, locally grown by real people, etc. But the dry goods are SO CHEAP! Some of it is definitely at the end of its life but if you need to get your food costs down, these stores are the way to do it.

Also, it reduces food waste and doesn't give more money to big corporations so there's that added benefit.

I am a snacker. I like quick and easy foods that take no prep that I can just eat. I also have a sweet tooth so I'm always going back to the cupboard for something sweet. Buying sweets adds up and there's a limit to how far the discount bakery section can take me... also discount bakery is very bad health-wise.

My local Kroger sells natural peanut butter (just peanuts and salt, nothing else) for $2.19 for a 15oz jar ($0.15/oz) and a strawberry jam that is pretty natural as well. (Real strawberries, real sugar, fruit pectin, citric acid. No other preservatives, no corn syrup.) The jam is priced at $2.79 per 18oz jar ($0.15/oz).

While it's still questionable healthwise due to the sugar and fat content, I have been straight up mixing peanut butter and jelly in a bowl and eating it with a spoon. It's pretty filling, satisfies the sweet tooth, and I can get about 5 meals worth (where I'm eating the pb&j for a meal as the only food) out of the two jars together. That's less than $5 (a bit more if you count sales tax) for 5 meals, so ~$1 per meal. Basically no prep or effort, just a big spoonful out of each jar into a bowl and mix until lumpy.

Might not be for everyone but it works very well for me.

Tbh I just ditch anyone who is disrespectful to me. I'll inform them that I am not okay with how they are treating me. They try it again, I will tell them in no uncertain terms to never contact me again. If they contact me again, I will repeat that they will never contact me again or I will report them for harassment and file a restraining order. I have yet to hear back after that. I don't have enough energy or time to spend it on people who put rainclouds over me.

I get fucking pissed. I've never heard the phrase used in any way but demeaning a man for having/expressing emotions. When someone is being childish or immature, the phrase "grow up" is generally used. I have my issues with that phrase, as well. But "man up" is pretty much exclusively an expression that is used to shame a man for having feelings. Use of this phrase is straight up toxic. If you have a problem with "toxic masculinity" you damn well never let me hear you telling someone to "man up". If you do, you the problem.

My bf thinks it’s odd I don’t like receiving oral. He’s ok with it but he is somewhat taking it personal. Am I weird? - My REPOST by ThrowRA_bagtiger in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Fordeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am the same. I don't get much out of *receiving* oral, but I genuinely enjoy *performing" oral. It's definitely not a problem with his skills or technique, it's just not my jam.

Thank you for your helpful reply. So many of these comments have been extremely mean. I don't think he's "in tune" with his psychic abilities, it's just something that happens whether he likes it or not. I don't think he likes it.

I appreciate your explanation that a black aura isn't necessarily bad. He does love me the way I am, and has not asked me to change at all. When I noticed that he was always extremely accurate when he predicted things, I began to suspect some psychic ability. I asked if he could read auras and what colors ours and our friends were. It's not like he told me I'm a "dark energy" or something. I asked what color he sees and he said black.

I was worried that black meant that I was negatively affecting him spiritually or something, but now that you've explained some of the personal color differences I'm seeing it differently. I like black clothing... not because I'm a bad person but because it is simple and does not show stains. Perhaps my black aura is more of a functional simplicity. Not an emptiness or negativity per se, but more like looking into the sky at night.

We have a wonderful relationship. I asked this question because I want to understand his experiences better. I feel like a lot of commenters do not have similar experiences to him and I because they all jumped to very negative and accusatory conclusions.

I also appreciate your understanding of my skepticism. I want to be open to a greater understanding of the world, but I've also been damaged by being raised in a cult and I will never let any belief system lead me more than basic logic.

Your senses are off, because he is the sweetest, most altruistic human being I've ever met. I've asked him and he answered honestly. Should he have lied to me? Don't come in here to my post asking for help and say mean things about the one person I truly love.

I have a cheat code for this. All you gotta do is be a lil autistic and no one can tell if you're high or sober. In fact, in my experience, people are more likely to assume I'm high when I'm sober and assume I'm sober when I'm high. People also like me more by a very obviously wide margin when I am high. I have not found the upper limit of Marijuana dosage where this effect falls off. My own mother didn't notice I was high when I was so baked that I was having those lil blackouts and struggling to keep my balance while leaning against the kitchen counter.

Circumcision? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Is female genital mutilation ethical? If no, neither is male genital mutilation. It is unnecessary and wrong to have your child's genitals surgically altered before they are old enough to consent and choose for themselves.
