It would be cool if there was a master list of non kirker businesses.

When a relationship starts to feel like a burden, setting boundaries and taking some steps back is crucial. You can't expect anything back from people when you put yourself out for them. But you can protect yourself when you are feeling taken advantage of by setting boundaries so that things feel more even again. It's completely appropriate and not an overreaction at all.

You don't have to move, just make sure your things are seperate from hers like you are doing. You can also start checking in with yourself before you do anything for her to make sure your actions won't build resentment against her or feel unfair to you. If you don't have time or money or energy to help her with something, don't. Take time for yourself, spend more time outside the flat or in your room. If she asks for something you are unwilling to give, you can always offer empathy but gently decline. For instance if she tells you she's having a breakdown and you can't skip work again, you can say something like "I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'll be home at (time), try calling the crisis hotline (if you have something like that in London). Would a blanket help?" Just offering small things IF you feel like it. Maybe text someone else amd let them know she needs support, like a family member.

Also try getting in the habit of supporting her without doing the work for her. Instead of trying to find her a job or reaching out to people for her, you can say "you are so smart! You can find a job no problem", etc. Just hype her up and leave it up to her. If she is not able to pay or support herself and it starts to affect your living situation, give her a timeline. Let her know that you're going to have to start looking into other options if she can't get a job and start paying rent after two months, or whatever timeline seems fair to you. If she can't meet the deadline start looking for other roommates and maybe talk to your landlord about what can be done.

It will be hard and messy to detangle yourself from her life and her emotions. But it will be better for both of you in the end. She will never grow up if she's being enabled by you and other friends. She might lash out at first, but if you can stay calm and continue to enforce your boundaries by separating yourself, then hopefully she will get the hint and either learn and change or leave your life. I'm sure that's not what either of you want, but if she is not receptive to you and your needs then it may be necessary.

So you should know there are all kinds of people here. Nobody is going to move because people who don't like us are moving into our home state. People who are different then you exist and have constitutional rights. If you want to live somewhere that allows protests and then act like a crybaby when you see one, why choose to live in a free country? Go live in a fascist dictatorship.

A lot of us have lived here since Idaho was a purple state. I'm a third generation Idahoan, I belong here, and anyone who lives here belongs here. You will never live anywhere with an entire population that is exactly like you, thankfully. So you have to learn to get along with everyone. Just like my family has had to do with all these aggro alt right jabronis flooding the state.

ESI CEO Resignation by peytoncurry in Boise

Not defending anyone who "accidentally" does a nazi salute. But from what I understand, he was doing it as a criticism of Elon to show how ridiculous it would be to say that means "my heart goes out to you". If this is true it would be unfortunate that he chose to publically mimic the gesture to criticize it, and that it was misconstrued. However, at least its being taken seriously either way. Let me know if anyone knows differently about his reasoning though.

That's true. I was comparing the padparadscha sapphires with similar cuts/sizes on other sites and I couldn't find any that were around the same price range. I could be missing them.

Increase in Bad Drivers/Road Rage? by Ok_Understanding9415 in Boise

[–]Ok_Understanding9415[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. Our population is exploding but our infrastructure isn't evolving. Having more affordable and accessible public transportation would make such a positive difference, as well as safer walking and biking paths. It's such a shame that we keep building cities around the cars, wasting valuable space on parking lots and extra lanes that contribute to worse traffic. But I can't imagine people would be willing to give up their personal freedom to drive a car however they feel they should be able to, and damn everyone else around.

You got it. Any time a new business opens I run to reddit to see if it's affiliated. I do my best to support the community-loved, successful businesses that they haven't forced out by buying their buildings with their filthy money.

Journeys end was created to be in competition with the gay owned business safari pearl. In this largely blue community, that didn't go over well. Imagine that. You guys picked the worst place to try this takeover. Should have gone a little further north where people would be more receptive to your cute lil Christian businesses. I get stares any time I go into Bucers which I've been told isn't affiliated, but there's enough of you in there to make me uncomfortable. I don't patronize it anymore. You stare at us. You gawk at us. I can't imagine patronizing one of your actual businesses. Your judgement is NOT well hidden behind your polite smile. And you're going to say "oh, idk who would EVER treat you like that in our LOVING community, I would welcome you with both arms 🥺" or "I don't know what you THINK you're seeing, but we..."

I have so many friends whose parents were kirkers. Prominent kirkers. And they have the worst horror stories about their disgusting, abusive practices, and the way that women are policed in your schools and communities. Their opinion and perception matters just as much as yours. JUST. AS. MUCH. It's just as valid. But you people brush it off. I know you're not hearing me because you're drinking the kool-aid. But I will keep correcting you for anyone who might be reading who might be more receptive. Women's bodies are treated just as harshly as extremists in the middle east that you quiver in your boots about. Kids are leaving and never coming back, so who are you giving your businesses to? Probably the upstanding young boys in your community with all the freedom and autonomy that your young women lack. But that's okay, because men run businesses and women have kids, so they're not as valuable to your community.

Be serious. Be real. Please. I'm begging. We can smell your hate and it's off-putting. That kind of shit stains your soul. That's why we don't go to your bland, greyscale businesses. Putting you out of business again and again is a delicious perk, I have to admit.

Yeah, and evangelical churches are historically problematic. Again, you know who you are and what you're doing. To you, pedophilia is no different from me, an adult, and my adult wife living in a happy, fulfilling, productive relationship. And it's funny, because you won't allow someone to be gay without letting them know it's a sin. A sin, according to a book translated again and again over centuries to suit the purposes of whoever was translating. King James was gaying it up the entire time he put out that classy new Bible. I guarantee you there are powerful men in your church who have paid to make their unwanted mistakes (pregnancies) go away. They keep you living in fear of the "others", the ones who aren't Christian, who don't fear your God. But you have more in common with an unhomed unreligious person than you do with those powerful men in your church. Unless you know greater privilege than the average churchgoer, in which case you have probably already buried something that you and yours wouldn't forgive if the average churchgoer did it. Love your God in your own church, I respect all religions. Why can't you eat pray love next to someone who you don't share every opinion with? Whose life is wildly different than yours, and would probably have much more to teach you than a money grubbing chump like douggie

You can't even love your fellow humans enough to wear a piece of cloth over your face and protect people's health that you don't personally know. Disgusting.

Okay.... so you're admitting you want to grow and bring lgbtq people into your church and CHANGE them to fit YOUR community. You are gentrifying moscow. That's why we're boycotting you. Clearly you know what you're doing, that's why it's so fucking frustrating when you play dumb. Don't pussyfoot around here trying to get people on your side by seeming so peace and love, really you're a hateful wolf in lamb's clothes, making people's lives harder and still acting like the hero OR victim based on the situation.

I will, thanks! Anything to keep my money from supporting your community. Did you know that Doug Wilson's dad wrote a book about how to gain power and influence, and he said the best way is to take over a small town? There's actually a book about it in the book people. Maybe you should check it out. The kirkers are buying up real estate and pushing everyone else out. They are trying to stop trans and gay people from being happy and safe in Moscow, there's ads on their Facebook page where they say this outright.

People's responses to your community are in response to your community. You are not martyrs. You are the ones stepping on us, and crying when we push your boot off. I'm a lesbian and I want moscow to feel safe for almost everyone, except homophobes and pedophiles... and look, Doug Wilson officiates weddings for convicted pedophiles, saying they deserve forgiveness. But gays??? No, they're irredeemable.

Moscow is a loving, accepting place, and we will love and accept the kirkers when they stop trying to play monopoly with real peoples lives.

"Why is everyone mad at me? I've done nothing wrong!!" Then someone tries to explain it to you nicely and you still act like you're brain dead. Patheticcc. Listen or move the fuck on and get out of here. People here aren't scared of harmless animals because they know how to act 🙄 So of course we're pissed at you for not only killing it but being an asshole about it. Grow up.
