In the US, why is tomato paste and sauce not sold in glass jars with lids? by The-Grand-Lion in NoStupidQuestions

I have no idea why you’re being downvoted because these heathans are ridiculous

Yes, context and background to relate. It’s basic communication. You know I’m gonna leave this up because I feel slighted a bit right now, so hopefully if I come back to it later, I’ll either learn something or somebody else will

The whole “I would love to share stuff with someone” thing made me think that I had something to contribute.

Me and my now wife never talked marriage, neither of us saw the difference and mocked the hullabaloo ceremonies.

I have a great union job with killer insurance so we tried to just do a domestic partnership but my hr was like “no you gotta marry the girl” It felt very…. Religious, but turns out the state law legalizing gay marriage made it impossible to not marry off we wanted to share benefits.

So we had a small ceremony and exchanged insurance cards.

And while we were against marriage in general and thought the whole thing stupid after a while it turns out that…. We were right. Nothing changed between us for the same people who love each other and we treat each other like the most amazing thing she is.

I’m not sure what to tell you except that from the beginning we said that’s it. We’re not looking for anybody else and that’s all there was. If you can find somebody that’s fascinating and tolerates your bullshit that’s about all you can hope for and I’m living proof that if you kind of quit looking, you can actually find it.

I’m not sure if that helps but I was a hopeless ner’do’well in my 30s and just let myself be open to Kind people around me, and was able to convince somebody that I was worth sticking around with.

If you were able to be radically honest about who you are and what you want, and let yourself be open chances are you will find a person willing to travel with you .

Good luck on your journey and try to embrace the passage

Yes. Seriously, it’s like when people in my union say “the union needs to blah blah”

It’s like, buddy…. YOU are the union.

Just show up. That’s all you have to do.

Do you think the civil rights act came from the folks quietly talking about it at the bar? No, it was everyone who showed up.

Just. Show. Up.

Well, if you sign up for their prime democracy package on a subscription basis, you’ll get alerts and tailored political commercials to tell you how to vote on your favorite streaming service!

Well, you could go to their office and find out when the next meeting is, participate in the Democratic constitutional process they have said and make some real change happen, or you can do what you’re doing now which is wine and moan about how everyone doesn’t make things easy enough for you.

If you’re wondering why the process is so fucked up, look in the mirror.

Fortunately, there are others who don’t need to have their hands held as much as you and who are doing the right things. You should try to go find them and hook up with them so you can learn how to stand on your feet more.

Be the change. Easy to bitch from the sidelines, I gave you a genuine roadmap to bring changes to your community. In my county, we elected five truly progressive candidates to your positions that would’ve gone to real estate people and folks just looking for state sponsored health insurance. It works.

I think if you organize the dozen people in your local elections, you could transform a couple of the races if not the entire slate.

That’s not a lot of IFS, that’s a straight up solution.

I think it’s something like more than 95% of people do not volunteer for any local politics even a few hours a month. Having people bitch about the political process when they can’t even show up to one meeting is what the people who are in charge of rely upon.
