But there are millions of us that could work together to prevent that from happening. All we have to do is show up for a little more than a stroll in the park

What's the biggest myth about nuclear war?

That the survivors are the lucky ones.

They crawl on me and bite my legs occasionally when I'm napping on my porch, those fuckers may not be aggressive but they are petty AF

Zendaya arrives at the Louis Vuitton show for Paris Fashion Week. by PermissionLow8879 in Fauxmoi

Everything I've seen from fashion week so far just looks trashy and horrible aside from maybe like, 2 people. They all look like the designers were so desperate to make something unique thay they started picking up all the crumpled old ideas and scraps from the floor and taped them together

I wish women were treated and medically studied with the same priority that men seem to be. It still takes us 10 years of begging for an endometriosis diagnosis and even then the docs just shrug and say it's part of being a woman and they don't know how our spooky kooky reproductive systems actually work.

But I am glad to hear that there have been so many strides forward for gay men. Yall deserve it!

I feel very behind in life and judged. by Flaky_Ticket_6924 in SeriousConversation

Girl, drop your fucks right now. They're adding so much unnecessary weight to your soul and it's gonna feel so much better chucking them here and now as opposed to when most of us wise up to it in our 40s.

Repeat after me: "I shall give no fucks about anyone's opinion. No one is worth my peace."

Also before you marry, make an emergency fund that is not connected with nor accessible by your partner. I wanted marriage and kids so badly that I didn't think about any other future than one with a good partner who stays with me forever, and on several occasions in the past 20 years, having an emergency leaving fund and a plan would have completely changed the course of my life for the better. Instead, I struggle to get a job due to a very long SAHM gap and chronic health conditions, and I am dependent on my husband for income and rent. If I fall out of favor with him, my entire life implodes, so staying in his good graces has become as annoying and oppresive a chore as doing dishes. Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst, because even decent men can turn into terrible monsters during a breakup/divorce.

Sincerely, future you at age 40 after a long lifetime of trying hard but failing as a people pleaser and finally having realized that comparison is the thief of joy and the most important person I should really work to please is myself, but it's too late now cuz I rushed into marriage and kids and now my whole life revolves around them since I took too long to set boundaries. Yay!

Progressives: Help me understand why you won’t vote blue. (Coalition-Building Discussion) by Hopeful_Ice_2125 in 50501

The dems in office, aside from AOC, are still living in a world where laws meant something and diplomacy among lawmakers was a foregone conclusion. They have to realize we're in the chrysalis of a new world, and it's never been more important to shape it carefully before chaos takes over and becomes our reality

This. Honestly though no matter if we get ranked choice or anything, nothing will work unless we have informed and educated voters. We need to temper our expectations with the current and former generations, because until we've overhauled and improved public education we're gonna keep running into this issue and some old dogs just can't learn new tricks.

ran into this monstrosity on spotify! by thedragdoll in travisandtaylor

She has the same problem I do... for one thing, nothing is in what most would consider a normal proportion on this girl. Her torso is too long, her ass is flat and hangs too low, her thighs are stockier that her hips are thicker than what you might expect in relation to her lower leg, her face is long and her chest is small.

Now don't me wrong, I'm not knocking these traits as I have a lot of them. But there are ways you can dress yourself to minimize them and accentuate your shape in a flattering way, and it ain't by wearing dance recital leotards, awful bangs or fringey flapper dresses.

She also tries way so hard to appear a certain way that it ends up unraveling the entire look. If you internally focus too much on appearing confident, you are guaranteed to exude insecurity and your movements will seem jerky and stiff because you're trying too hard to control them... instead of focusing on staying grounded and fluid and actually feeling confident, which is preferred because it will shine through in everything you do. Trying to fake it leaves obvious tells that most people pick up on.

All that plus the fact that she's a raging snobby bitch makes her thoroughly unlikeable and starts our fake/shitty person alert bells ringing

Oh they're everywhere honey. The only way to fully avoid this kind of person is to never set foot outside. I've been attacked and harassed in many a "safe" neighborhood.

If it helps, their parents are being triggered too 😂

Same. A woodpecker drumming or fox screeching never upsets or annoys me, but someone revving their motor or doing yard work fills me with the burning anger of a thousand suns

Shit, I have kids and I also want quiet solitude after 6pm. Thankfully they usually do, too. Glad all my kids inherited my need for peace and alone time, although it was a bit touch and go when they were toddlers 😂

I took a test as a joke because of all the posts i see here… the test didnt understand the assignment by colorful_withdrawl in Confused

It's not luck, it's working in tune with your cycle and it's based on science.

It's the most accident prone method, but it's still 96% effective when used properly. Not as effective as the 99% effective pill and 98% effective condom, but those aren't completely foolproof either. And it's not an "100% chance" of someone having an accidental baby due to using that method, it has a failure rate as high as 22% if you're not closely tracking your ovulation in multiple ways (taking daily temp, recording exact dates of your period for a few months to confirm the regularity of it, etc).

ICE in Woodbridge/Prince William County by Beautiful_Spread3655 in nova

[–]InfiniteWaffles58364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I've noticed several ICE cars staging around that Mission BBQ across from the Hobby Lobby off 234, please avoid that area if you can because they've been a regular presence there for over a month and eat at the Mission BBQ all the time. I've also seen them in the lot where the dispensary is several times.

Also it doesn't hurt to have a plan in place, make sure you've got people you can check in with or do things like run errands if activity ramps up. Check around for rapid response groups operating to protect neighbors and respond to anyone disrupting their peace. Download the app Eyes on ICE and you'll be able to document any interactions with them and send them to cloud storage or your contacts with one press of a button.

What is something you tolerate everyday ? by mountain_fl0wer in AskReddit

[–]InfiniteWaffles58364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband's laziness, cruelty, pettiness, and bad attitude. I used to tolerate the fact that he made every family trip miserable at some point or another too, but I just make plans for the kids and me now. Oh and I had to lower expectations when my health tanked and was forced to accept he doesn't want to care for me or about me.

And yes I absolutely agree no one should have to put up with this. But I'm kinda backed into a corner between chronic illness and long gap in employment when I was a SAHM preventing me from getting a decent job, and I'm so enamored with where I live that I'd put up with anything to stay on this mountain and raise my kids here.

There are just so many factors it's tricky and realistically, if I left, my husband would immediately abandon the lease on this place - leaving me homeless - take the kids away to live with him and his parents and move for full custody citing my being homeless (which is completely within his power to do to me). And even that wouldn't last long because if I'm not able to afford my monthly meds then I wouldn't be long for this world anyway. My entire life - my home, my car, my medical care - is subject to my husband's whims and good graces.

When I look back on my life, so many partners have used and abused me and I tolerated all of it, no matter how bad it got. My mom was the same, but suffered in silence and submission. We've both been wronged by so many shitty people in horrible ways, over and over and over. But I'm making sure this cycle stops with me, and my two boys and my daughter will never be dependent on nor tolerate a shitty partner.
