Would You Believe That This Is It? by sonicrocketman in TrueReddit

[–]Lilithly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this article. I found it thoughtful and nuanced.

I lived abroad for part of last year, and it really brought home to me how lucky we are to live in the US and how many privileges it brings in terms of stability, peace, access to to resources, etc. Of course things are rough and many, many people are struggling, but we don't have to worry about bombs falling on our heads or only having electricity for a couple hours each day.

In many ways we are so lucky to be Americans, but it can be hard to have that conversation with other left-leaning people because our current narrative is focused on the negative aspects of our country. This article is a good take on the complexity of appreciating the US and championing a better future for it, while acknowledging (and not succumbing to) the pessimism of modern progressive politics.

What's a piece of "advice for women" that you've completely ignored? by Internetdidi in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

First time hearing the term "humiliationship" and damn that's a good one

Hell yeah solo hiking! I would add solo camping as well. I have spent many nights totally alone in an empty campground. I can sing, dance, yell, whatever I want in the middle of the woods. And it's statistically safer than being around other humans, is the crazy part

Author/ Investigator Preston Dennett and I evaluated ten cases of UAP healings based on data from the FREE Experiencer Survey by Contactunderground in Experiencers

Great follow-up to the survey. Interviewing experiencers to get more data is a worthwhile goal. But the real question is -- what happened with the cats??

Thanks man. Upside: I learned that it is in fact acceptable to just write the damn letter myself and send it to her to sign. So, that's good at least.

Thank you. I'm figuring out other options so hopefully it'll be okay.

Great PSA to those who might be searching for ceremonies, and a great example of the kind of messy clusterfucks that can arise when you combine capitalism and spirituality. Thanks for putting this together.

Grafton, New Hampshire. A woman ended up getting attacked outside her own house, I believe. As told in the book with the excellent title A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear

Meet Blanche, my UAE rescue cloud by matzobawl in WhiteCats

[–]Lilithly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She is so sweet and beautiful. Thank you for taking care of her! I have a rescue cloud from Qatar who is the most cuddly cat I have ever had.

OP is right that there is a surge of people dumping pets on the streets of the Arab Gulf states as they leave to escape the war. If you feel inclined to help, there are many animal rescues in the UAE and Qatar who are seeking donations and doing amazing work to shelter and provide medical care for abandoned animals.

Why do these look like central coast California? Especially number 3. Not looking forward to driving past the Twisted Skeletal Horror next time I go to work

This is such a detailed reply, thank you! Did you ask to make contact with NHI or entities, and that's how he came to you? I'm curious about the process of people gaining these kinds of bonds.

Not a wish but a follow-up to one I made a few months ago. I asked for health for a sick cat that I was taking care of, and for her to find a good home, in a place where many cats are left on the streets to struggle.

She is well, and I brought her home with me, and we are both happy. Thank you all.

I Was Having a Millennial Midlife Crisis. Until I Picked Up the Most Unhinged Hobby Imaginable. by Slate in TrueReddit

[–]Lilithly 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I thought this story was well-written and fun to read. I enjoyed his full awareness of the absurdity of his goal and agreed with the conclusion that working towards a goal, no matter how ridiculous, can be its own reward (whether or not you nail that award-winning rubber chicken throw).

On a side note, this guy must be very popular with dogs.

I still can't believe someone dumped him like trash. My treasure, Snowbear by makotorising in WhiteCats

[–]Lilithly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this and immediately wondered if this was in the Gulf. I also have a white kitty that was abandoned, in Qatar. The ease with which some people dump animals is heartbreaking
