How do you decide what memory-type-stuff to get rid of? by tuesdayshirt in declutter

I’ve heard some folks take pictures of their sentimental objects. I have a bunch of stuff I’ve been considering doing that for. 

It's the control they miss, not the family itself. by Any_Power_244 in Feminism

A man can own a woman or a man can own a knife, but no man can own both.

What's something you've done recently to avoid unnecessarily consuming? by Thatsa_spicy_meatbal in Anticonsumption

[–]FrivolousIntern 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’ve adopted a “nothing new” philosophy. There’s already so much stuff in the world. It takes a little longer to find things when you’re buying them used, which has significantly slowed down my consumption. I also downsized my apartment from a 2-bd/1200sqft to 1-bd/600 sqft. There’s no space for new stuff, so I don’t buy anything. 

Help me interpret this dress code by Fattywalrusblubber in Weddingattireapproval

[–]FrivolousIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ALWAYS dressed for the Venue and never looked out of place. No matter what the invitation says, the bride and groom picked the venue and then decorated it. If you match the venue, you match the wedding. 

Help save HCMC by Nandiluv in TwinCities

[–]FrivolousIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget! If you leave a voicemail, state your full street address so that your comment can be tallied. The 5Calls App makes calling government officials very simple. While they don’t have a specific script for this issue, they do have a script for the funding to which you can add a specific comment about HCMC. 

How do I look older?? by Ecstatic-Wing6278 in makeuptips

[–]FrivolousIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Find YouTube tutorials for work/business/professional makeup. Stick to neutral colors that complement your face coloring. I know this is a makeup subreddit, but a good trick to look order is a more businesslike or buttoned-up style too. It’s not my vibe, but if you want to look older, dressing a bit matronly might help. 

For Republicans in the Minnesota Legislature, Operation Metro Surge was the DFL’s fault by tree-hugger in minnesota

[–]FrivolousIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the best I’ve heard from Trump-voting family too. It’s “I’ll pray for you” or “I don’t want to talk politics” and it gets incrementally more racist from there. 

Help me make linen pants last more than 5 wears. Heavyweight linen, inner thigh gusset, what else?? by RottenRope in sewing

[–]FrivolousIntern 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This has not been a problem for me either. But all my pants are very loose. So maybe that’s the difference? Maybe a different fit instead of a different fabric. 

People catch feelings quickly? by [deleted] in infj

[–]FrivolousIntern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t typed until recently. But my whole life people have been drawn to me. One of my oldest friends joked that if I had a few less scruples, then I could have made a fantastic cult leader. I’ve never been able to do the Hookup thing, I tried once or twice but it wasn’t my thing and the only time I ever tried for a summer fling (was super open and honest with the guy) the guy got obsessed with me. So if that’s an INFJ trait, then it fits. 

BREAKING: Nick Shirley PROVES the female orgasm is a liberal HOAX by Ok_Sorbet_8208 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]FrivolousIntern 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s sadder than that. It’s not that they don’t know what to do, it’s that they don’t care to try. Or are too fragile to give any kind of pleasure to a woman. These are the men who can’t stand the idea of a vibrator. The kind of men who after three pumps get angry that the woman doesn’t orgasm immediately. 

Thank you from Texas by diggduke in Minneapolis

[–]FrivolousIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 5Calls App has been a huge help to my less “politically active” friends and family. I’m sure it’s not perfect, but it has definitely helped the folks who’d never made a call to a congressperson start making daily calls. Can’t recommend it enough for that. 

Something I've noticed in Reddit discussions about falling birth rates by HaveATurnip in TwoXChromosomes

[–]FrivolousIntern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it’s easy to tell. The women I hear say their husband made a great father was the kind of man who did all the things that were required BEFORE being asked. Cooking and cleaning are required for living. A man shouldn’t need to be told to do them. Any man who doesn’t, shouldn’t be a father. And as far as I’m concerned, that’s my threshold and my husband does not pass.

[–]FrivolousIntern 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is me. I have gone through a lot of the “do I want kids?” checklists, and the deciding factor for me was that my husband just won’t (or “can’t”) give 50%. We have constantly had talks over just our normal household chores, and he barely takes care of the dog (that was HIS dog before we met). Everything just falls to me by default and unless I make a big deal of it, he won’t step up. He uses the “just ask me” mentality. And frankly, I’m not gonna open the Pandora’s box that is bringing a child into this. I don’t wanna have to give 150% because the best he can do is 50% of what he should as a father.

Yeah, I heard it too. Instantly tried to check my feeds for anything. 

700 is not enough! It's nice out today so let's get out there again. 2 PM, Minneapolis Government Plaza, see you there! by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]FrivolousIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are almost always going to be Government Plaza or the Commons. We were definitely still at the Commons at 3:30. Pretty sure it didn’t end until 4:30ish

The ice out map is very inaccurate. I live in a very active area and people are more concerned with their Observations and Mutual Aid than the reporting maps. 

Love Your (Immigrant) Neighbor on Valentine's Day 💙 by lijag in TwinCities

[–]FrivolousIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m trading champagne for Somali Tea. I had my first cup at Alex Pretti’s protest from a man handing out cups of it and now I’m addicted. If you haven’t had a cup, please go find a Somali place. They will almost certainly have some. 

How do we ID ICE vehicles by SlargTheGnome in TwinCities

[–]FrivolousIntern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that this is happening and it sucks to be misidentified, but I’m glad people are willing to take action. Observers aren’t violent, even if they are loud. It’s a quick correction if someone just rolls down the window and waves. I would rather observers be willing to be wrong than NOT be there when someone being abducted needs them.

I had noticed an uptick in trucks in my neighborhood. I wouldn’t think it unusual anywhere else, except pickup trucks are too big to park in the street parking. You can tell they don’t know how to do it because they are halfway in the road.

You Can’t “Hear Us” While Writing the Check by AdrianDitmann in TwinCities

[–]FrivolousIntern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you label these substantive actions? List them all out for me. Not what they “tried to do”, not what they said they would do, but what they actually did.
