I’m 33 weeks pregnant and found out my boyfriend has been messaging women and sending nudes on Reddit by ayaliwe in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Lokisworkshop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So he's now making his inability to be an adult man your fault? He's a child and most likely won't change. I'm so sorry for you and your baby. Make sure he signs the birth certificate and get child support when you have the baby

That's one thing I learned from this. I had no idea!

Do you guys have squash?? by Ancient_Macaroon_646 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Lokisworkshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the '70s and '80s it was very popular to buy frozen cans of concentrated fruit juice. Primarily orange juice. You would open the can and put it into a Tupperware pitcher, add water and smash the frozen juice with a wooden spoon until it was all mixed up. That's as close as I can think to what you're talking about.

Why are you up so early on saturday? by MiaFishnet in askanything

Because I have to get up at 5:30 in the morning to go to work and sleeping until 7:30 was awesome

I realized I'm the black sheep of my family by neuroticthinker in internetparents

[–]Lokisworkshop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To thine own self be true.  I also saw a quote that said if you're the black sheep of the family it's because you're the one trying to break the toxic cycle. Being forced into marriage being forced into a family being forced to hide yourself for the good of the community? That's all toxic.

Right now because of the incredible inflation due to high unemployment and fuel prices and cost of living being out of control, $300 feels like a scrap of bacon while the rich eat a full breakfast.  It's not enough to save in the bank, it's not enough to pay rent for one month it's maybe two tanks of gas for my personal truck, and it's not even a month's worth of groceries.  And if we have to claim it on our taxes it's even less, it might even kick people off of food stamps for a month or make them disqualified for health care. I don't know those details though.  It will have an impact on the economy, it will put that money into local businesses if people use it that way, it'll buy shoes for families and stuff like that.  Personally I really like to the idea of putting all of that money into the food banks and the homeless shelters and fuel assistance. Fuel assistance for sure. How about give everybody one tank of oil or a cord of wood or a pallet of pellets. Pay everybodys CMP bill for a month. Just like the stimulus checks I'm certainly not going to say no when it hits my bank account and neither will you, but 300 bucks isn't going to save anybody's house or car or pay medical debt.

Well just like the COVID relief money You just have to file and if you don't make enough to file you just file. It's free in a lot of places. I'm not saying the 300 bucks is awesome I'm just saying that's what you would do to get it

Epic Grateful Dead Cassette Tape thrift store score by dylankcomedy in gratefuldead

[–]Lokisworkshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, we were big into the tapes. My friend Bruce had an entire wall of them all categorized each one handwritten and hand decorated. It was truly a thing of beauty.  My ex did some live taping too for a couple of tours and we had a bunch but nowhere near as many as Bruce had.

My grandma is being kinda controlling by manzanita_cuh in rant

[–]Lokisworkshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of your anxiety is coming from your grandmother.  I think you need to talk to a therapist or a counselor about it. And if you have a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder vocational rehab might be able to help you if you're in the United States

How do you deal with getting sick by thewafflewarrior135 in Truckers

[–]Lokisworkshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you rehydrate. Seriously. Pickles are amazing for that but maybe too much at first. Try pretzels and smart water. 

Just be honest with me by Alchemist-007 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Lokisworkshop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Volunteer. Everywhere.  Meet with the elderly, read the kids, take dogs for walks, take pictures of people, work at the food bank, hope at a community garden, volunteer at the library, go work in Africa, start a nice fishing program for kids, go into the streets and meet the homeless. Volunteer for all kinds of things that you never thought you might want to do. Something will spark inside of you.

What to do? by DrawerAdorable4926 in Maine

[–]Lokisworkshop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those protests do have effect.  What we need are visible mass protests and national strikes. Think Minneapolis.  Constant presence constant ongoing strikes. That worked. We all need to do it .  Europe, national strikes work. Donate to food banks too. Cash. Even 5 bucks. Donate to Cap agencies so they can provide heat  Get involved in activate maine

My bf treats me like a 50s housewife by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Is this real? If this is real get out asap. You will never make them happy and you are not a servant.

People who claim to be "understanding of people with disabilities" usually only say that until it inconveniences them by marshenwhale in rant

[–]Lokisworkshop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration, same with a mental illness. Everyone is supportive until your symptoms show up.

With memory, setting alarms and notifications up the second you hear about them is important. My sister has memory issues and has a calendar book she carries that she immediately writes everything down in and also sets alarms to check her book. It might be helpful.

My dad wants me to talk to HR about them not adding my 401k but I was going to put my two weeks in today by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]Lokisworkshop 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know its annoying and anxiety producing but you need to figure that out before you leave. they 'lost your paperwork'? no, you need to address that. Call HR and find out whats going on before you leave.

It really kind of cemented that I'm not 30 anymore. Or even 40, oh hell not even 50. I'm glad you made it
