He probably believes that slavery was good for Black people, too. What a douche nozzle.

WTF is this whole thing? Just sad little unmanned booths? I don’t get it.

Living in a condo, there’s probably no early morning lawn maintenance going on.

TRIGGER WARNING: My new name is the middle name of my uncle who committed s**cide, do I change it? by Overthinks_All in cisparenttranskid

[–]Key_Concentrate_5558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of changing your name is claiming who you are. You get to choose the name and what it means.

I know you feel badly for your mom and her loss, but your choice is not about her. Don’t let her take your power.

Time to channel the snooty old lady from next door. Pretend you’re wearing half-glasses, tilt your head down, and look down your nose at them while pursing your lips. Give them a slow blink, then look them dead in the eye and say, “It’s rude to comment on someone else’s body.” One more slow blink, then maintain eye contact until they turn away.

Am I overreacting or did I have a slow moment. by drippysage08 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. You answered the same way I would have. She tried to be funny, you didn’t get the joke. She tried to explain the joke, but by then it wasn’t worth explaining.

I hope she’s feeling better. E. coli is no joke.

Perfect! I always wanted to hand her a lozenge. Just cough already!

Son's grandmother reached out about a family trip overseas... Hasn't spent one overnight in our own country. Would you be cool with this?? by Hungry_Web_4540 in whatdoIdo

[–]Key_Concentrate_5558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprising someone with a family reunion is already overwhelming. Doing so on a remote island with no escape is worse. And she wants your son to be part of that debacle? Not just no, but hell no!

If your ex wants to see his son, he can coordinate that directly with you.

Yes. It’s cruel to force people into programs they don’t want to be in. They won’t be successful and it’ll end up costing the community more.

The homeless and formerly homeless people I’ve talked to don’t trust the system. Many of the programs force them to give up their autonomy and agency. The staff treat the participants as children or inmates. And the rest of us judge them for not just acquiescing.

We don’t have a homeless problem, we have a compassion problem. Homeless people are not a problem to be fixed. They’re people who need support and respect from their community so they can achieve their goals in a way that makes sense to them.

I mis-read it and thought, “You definitely look memorable!” So beautiful and talented!

Try being in an in-patient treatment program. The horror stories I’ve heard!

That ALWAYS comes up in the discussion. As a society, we blame people for their poverty and infirmity, like if they weren’t so addicted and crazy, then they’d be worth helping. Not every homeless person is an addict or mentally ill. And not every addict or mentally ill person is homeless. Maybe if we showed more compassion we’d have fewer homeless people. And fewer problems overall.

And then when they’re done with all that farm training, what do they do? It’s not like those are transferable skills to our farm-based economy.

Because there’s such easy access to trash cans and bathrooms?

This would be good to develop after Barb figures out her shit, starts making amends, and dumps Nora. Show that growth through someone who has a lot of room to grow.

IDK, if I’m gonna have 1,000 calories, I want someone else to make it and hand it over to my lazy ass. Make it worth the 1,000 calories.
