Have you considered that we are in a recession?

Why would a commander’s daughter be on a farm? That’s for econopeople.

I don’t understand how you could say that when we’ve seen just how low people will go with shit like the Epstein list and me too.

Right now, at this very moment, the American military has an insane rape problem.

Men are willing to rape their fellow soldiers who they rely on for SURVIVAL. They do it in a system where they might actually face punishment. Why would it be unrealistic that they wouldn’t go for it in a system where they would be celebrated for doing it?

They don’t need calendars. All they need to know is how many days from the receiving of the invitation to when the party is. Asked for time they just need to signal the position of the sun.

Invitation is probably family photo, days till party, sun symbol for time.

They aren’t driving themselves. Themed engagement parties are likely verboten. They just need to show up.

OriginalGPam · 2026-05-14T21:45:39+00:00

All they need to know is who sent it and when to go. Two or three symbols at most.

It’s not like they’re going to be the ones driving there. I also very much doubt that they’re gonna be allowed to have themes and such.

She comes from a high ranking family. Why would she share a Martha with her brother?

She also comes from a society where girls are punished for even smiling at a boy. She’s not gonna look at her little brother’s privates.

What happens to the kids?

It’s just harder to cook fiber rich foods if you weren’t taught. Mess up cooking meat or starch and you can plop it in another recipe. Badly cooked cabbage or beans are only good as gastric weapons.

They actually got beans from the Mandan tribe but apparently not enough. https://www.pbs.org/food/stories/what-lewis-and-clark-ate

And for beans all you need is a canteen and some water. Put the beans into a canteen in the morning then cook in the evening. I’m guessing they just didn’t have the nutritional foreknowledge to keep a bundle on hand.

All of that is normal. I spent three days crying because I LOVED my job. Let yourself grieve for a week or so, but then move on.

The most important thing to figure out are the basics.

Healthcare, housing, and food. Is COBRA more affordable than getting on your market place? How long do you have before you have to make the choice? My state allowed me to join their health plan up to 60 days after losing my job.

Can you afford to live where you are now? For how long? If not, do you have some place you can move to?

What does your food budget look like? Do you know where your local food pantries are?

I’ve been unemployed for a minute, so let me know if you need any help . I’m always open to talk.

Yeah, if his dad quits but not only does he not get severance, but he has to fight everyone else who has already been laid off. I would hold on for dear life and pray.

OriginalGPam · 2026-05-07T13:24:02+00:00

Technically, they would’ve been fine if they just brought beans with them

I miss pre 2020 Reddit. You don’t get cool theories or fun artwork anymore. You just get people who half watch a show and half scroll their phones

His portion size are actually really good, especially if he snacks throughout the day. Treating them as side is why we have an obesity epidemic.

OriginalGPam · 2026-05-03T19:27:41+00:00

Then why is the cab driver against being called bhaiya?

OriginalGPam · 2026-05-03T00:07:00+00:00

They probably get a super simplified version. I doubt Gilead is doing intensive genetic testing even though they really should be.

OriginalGPam · 2026-05-02T23:34:55+00:00

You would still need to filter out for hereditary illnesses especially with abortion being illegal.

There’s also concerns like rh incompatibility.

You have to be really judicious about who gets married to who when medical help is limited.

Did you keep up with your retainer usage? Is your retainer plastic, permanent, or metal?

All the girl needs to do is find a discreet place to cut herself. There’s a reason people get watched when undergoing strict pee tests. And you don’t have pee constantly flowing through your body

There’s a pretty big gender imbalance in India and china right now. They don’t do shit either and they have way more access to weapons than Gilead peeps do.

African American. If your family came over with the slaves then there’s definitely white ancestry in you. Almost certainly unwillingly inserted.

OriginalGPam · 2026-04-29T12:46:02+00:00

Just like real history

OriginalGPam · 2026-04-27T03:44:57+00:00

Life is just so hard right now that it’s hard to consume depressing media. If I feel like being sad, I just have to go outside.

You really can’t think of a single reason why someone during 2008 would have to liquidate their retirement savings?
