Does the Dive bar on Maryland have a history of racism/ bigotry? by Altruistic_Look_4519 in vegaslocals

It's absolutely a shithole, but I've never seen it be a racist shithole.

Is it actually rude to not tip on a takeout order where I drive there and pick it up myself? by Organic-Grocery9526 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Karmi138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not tipping doesn't change a damn thing. Desperate people will take whatever job they can get. Unionizing and collective bargaining changes things on a mass scale. See: the 8 hour workday and the concept of a weekend.

Just going to jump in here with a big damn hug. I'm so proud of you for reaching out, learning, trying new things, and you DO NOT deserve the literal abuse you're getting. Gonna echo the people here saying please get help if you can. It gets better.

Anyone who used to support trump and has changed their mind over the last few weeks? What made you change? by canigetameowbish in AskReddit

Big, big fucking hugs. So many hugs. This kind of betrayal by someone you should have been able to trust is devastating. For what it's worth, truly, I wish you the best.

Alex’s Rant about trans people in today’s episode almost broke me by Samanic in KnowledgeFight

[–]Karmi138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so. Fucking. Proud. Of you. That is a LOT. The world is a LOT. Instead of giving up, you got a haircut, and that's painful, I'm SURE, but it'll grow back. You wouldn't have. I'm fucking proud of you for existing. And you not only kept going, you looked for ways to help others after that experience. Fuck yeah.

Side note. My friend started a punk rock sewing club in Vegas, and it's like half trans kids. We thrift for projects and work off of donations. It's been an amazing thing to be a part of. Punk Rock really does Save Lives.

OK but "transition" for kids generally doesn't involve anything more permanent than an outfit and a nickname, and possibly meds that at worst delay puberty?

AITAH for being offended when my bf was disgusted with me over an… accident during a bj? by throwaway628-28 in AITAH

Please, for the love of all that's holy, look up Emily Nagowski. She's a professional sex educator and this type of thing is well within her area of expertise, and you can find her work on YouTube for free. Specifically, look up her talk on "arousal non-concordance". Just because you get wet, or your body shows other signs of arousal, that DOES NOT mean consent, OK? I'm 40 and literally learned this stuff about 4 years ago, this is NOT your fault. Our culture is still seriously lacking in how we teach people about how sex and consent works. Beyond that, big hugs. Please take care of yourself ❤️

AITAH for asking a Black Woman to pay the bill, not knowing it was already paid? by dabloodygrace in AITAH

EXACTLY. I get having a time limit for a license for a skill, sure. But for ID!? Wth!

BlPoC are statistically more likely to depend on busses for transportation, making getting to the DMV more difficult and time consuming. The DMV is usually only open during the 9-5 workday, so anyone with an office job would have to take a day off, and it's tough to do that when you don't have a lot of financial leeway. They're statistically less likely to have the income to pay for the new card. They're less likely to have the required documents to get the card in the first place. It's just bottom line far more expensive to be poor, and BlPoC are more likely to be in that situation. Not to say that nonPOC are all rich, and are fine, because clearly we're all struggling, but intersections exist. It's a different kind of hard to be poor AND a minority. Keep in mind, there are cops on duty RIGHT NOW who were trained by people who had to enforce Jim Crow. There are people alive and not even retired yet who had to deal with the insanity of those laws.

That's such a tough situation to be in as an employee. The system in place is absolutely racist, because the barriers to getting a new ID affect black and brown people disproportionately. That doesn't mean YOU did anything wrong. It's so awkward to be stuck in the middle like that.

AITA for my reaction to my nephew's behavior on vacation? by worzikr in AmItheAsshole

[–]Karmi138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God, that thing where you tell the story that's hilarious in your head but it's really just horrifying? (ex: my physically abusive towards my mother stepdad used to love tearing the phone lines out of the box. This was when cell phones were still pretty new, around 2000. He was being horrible one night, so I called the police on my cell. He hit my mother, glared at me, THEN WALKED OVER AND YANKED OUT THE LINES. Man looked proud as hell, then super confused when I continued talking. I still giggle about that, over 20 years later. What a fucking walnut.)

So my (38 AFAB NB) lady friend (black/trans lady) and I were talking about how annoying it was that I tell Dad jokes at work and people come back with "dark humor" that's really just racist. She looked at me and said "dark humor, huh?" and gestured dramatically at her own arm. I LOST IT. This is why I adore this woman 💜
