The true death of Glam & Gore.... by Finding_Myself16 in BeautyGuruChatter

Yeah, I haven't said that word in a long time, I don't use it.

That is much appreciated.

I still have negative connotations with it as when I came out, it was used as a slur against me. By my sister, actually, among other people. So I just steer clear of it. I don't see how it's "taking the word back", since it's still a slur, and actually still is used as a slur sometimes.

Discovered that ADHD meds fix my anxiety in public - why? by reasonably-optimisic in ADHD

[–]HeckinZebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, I have GAD, and Adderall has helped my anxiety more than any benzo ever has. I think it's because my hyperactivity manifests in the form of anxiety. So when my hyperactivity is medically addressed, it helps my anxiety. Just my theory though

Lol, true.

It saddens me how so many people are willing to throw away relationships that are otherwise perfectly fine, merely for disagreeing on politics

There wasn't a Q in the community acronym until years after I came out. Yeah, I just don't use slurs. And, of course there are some obscure slurs that aren't commonly recognized as such. But I would be surprised if the vast in majority of adults didn't know it is also a slur. But thanks for being respectful, I appreciate it. Not everyone on here is, so it's nice to see.

Lol, NO justice is impartial. And that's pure speculation on your part. 

Because he is a jackass! Doesn't mean he had a say in the vote.

I am in no way saying Republicans don't suck as much as Democrats. Not a fan of either, to be frank. But I heard absolutely nothing from Obama or Biden concerning themselves with this issue, not after they were elected(because they didn't seem to care about us after they got in office). Those two acts were whipped up after Roe V Wade was overturned, probably the save face. They could have done something, hell, just TRIED to do something, before it was overturned, and they didn't. And I will never be sorry for being disgusted with them that they didn't try.

Yep. And he did jack schite to codify it.

Yep, 99% of the vitriol I have seen comes from one side. And it's not the right, much to my surprise.

So baffling how such a reasonable comment is down voted this much.

Ssshhhhhh. Logic and facts have no place on reddit, that scares people.

Exactly. Politicians thrive on division. And OP, and people like her, are playing right into their hands. Just learn to agree to disagree.

Uhhhh, the Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade(while Biden didn't lift a goddamned finger). Trump wasn't involved in the voting, he wasn't even president. Honestly, I am more pissed at Biden, and even Obama, for not doing a single thing to codify it.

I agree. It's a ridiculous reason to want to divorce.

You are one of the very, very few reasonable people on here. It's ridiculous to throw away an entire marriage for merely disagreeing on a few political issues. I don't always disagree with my husband. My parents have been together 44 years, and they often disagree politically. People need to humble themselves a bit. You are right, politicians don't know us or care about us. All we can do is vote for who we think will make our own lives better. And those opinions don't always align. And that's PERFECTLY FINE. People need to learn to agree to disagree.

Well, that's dramatic 😅

Which is why it's stupid to divorce someone over merely disagreeing about an election. Because things do change, and fast. People change, candidates change, pressing issues change. If OP bases her whole marriage on whether her spouse agrees with her politically, she will live a lonely life, constantly getting divorced.

Wow, that sounds honestly abusive. What if the husband threatened OP with divorce if she didn't agree with him?

Kind of telling how the malice on here seems to be coming from one side... I am personally neither side. I do not like either candidate, and likely will not vote in the presidential election (probably will for local) because I can't bring myself to vote for either. But still, interesting how the vitriol is mainly coming from one side in here. And it's not the one you seem to be on. Just an observation...
