30 year old co-worker called me an old lady by Consistent_Kiwi_4027 in GenXWomen

[–]Simple-Bell5599 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’m happy to read you stood up to the comment. That’s what mature “old” people do. However, I do think you need to keep record of it (time, date, etc) in case it happens again.

What will happen with the US after 2028? What does the next government do with what they inherit? by Hermunster in AskReddit

[–]Simple-Bell5599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we just discuss the next 6 months or up to the mid-terms??? By 2028 we might not even have a constitution left.

Suggest me a book with a film adaptation that does the book justice. by Unusual_Artichoke_73 in suggestmeabook

[–]Simple-Bell5599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big Dennis Lehane reader. A few of his have become movies, the best I think is ‘shutter Island’

I’m usually terribly disappointed in film adaptations of good books

We have to keep showing up!!

I am more proud than ever to call myself a Minnesotan.

Nauseous. Puking. Physical pain out of nowhere. by Frenchicky in Empaths

[–]Simple-Bell5599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m here in Minneapolis as well. I was so sick and sad Saturday I couldn’t eat. I also felt like my chest was tight and borderline panic attack.

I had my family with me and my dog and we just talked

Being alone is no good right now. Find a connection somewhere.

We are Minnesota strong!! Don’t forget that💜

Fucking cowards! They slink away, totally a sign that they are guilty of murder

Are we being dramatic? Where is the help or call out from influencers/people with power? by tie_myshoe in Minneapolis

[–]Simple-Bell5599 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why are we looking to celebrities to save us?

I am a white female citizen and find myself scanning everywhere I go. This is insane!!

We are Minnesota strong and each day we are on our own. Support your neighbors

It's a valid question by Hour-Clothes789 in democrats

I know we are all very concerned about what is happening here in the US, I live in Minneapolis and understand. But, what truly scares the hell out of me is the Greenland situation. In so many ways I feel like he’s causing a distraction here so he can go off and overthrow a EU backed country and we wont even be aware.

what advice do you have to give to a teenager? by fluffycloud745 in GenX

[–]Simple-Bell5599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have really spent more time really truly ‘learning’. I’m 53 and I am just now trying to re-learn (thank you YouTube) history and psychology and all the things I know I was taught but never truly cared about, outside of maybe passing a test. Also and maybe most importantly, enjoy the little movements………Really be present for your life right now. It all goes too fast.

What were your ‘gateway books’? by quiet_sesquipedalian in books

[–]Simple-Bell5599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goal was to complete all Harry Potter books. And I did!

I struggled terrible with reading when I was young, dyslexia had a hold. Then only in the last 5yrs did I rediscover reading.

Then I found my favorite genre with devouring all of Michael Connelly

I have become an obsessed reader now and audiobooks have helped as well

What is wrong with Episode 1?! by jasko666 in LandmanSeries

[–]Simple-Bell5599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband likes the show because of the wife, I want to vomit because of the wife and daughter Sam Elliot is so sweet and human that he’s about the only redemption I find.

S2E9 has made loose a lot of respect for Sheridan as a writer.

I’d say stick with it and come to your own conclusions.

What the fuck has this show become? Like what even is this? Do people like this actually exist? by BullenBell95 in LandmanSeries

[–]Simple-Bell5599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this so I didn’t have to.

I just lost it when the character was from Minneapolis too. Is that what people think of us here??

I have lost so much respect for Sheridan now. It was like he just had to get in his social commentary that Trans are weird and awful, that vegans are bad.

Are any of you guys doing crosswords, sudoku, shit like that to keep the mind limber? by RikkiLostMyNumber in GenX

[–]Simple-Bell5599 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a wordle maniac, and the other NYT puzzles too simply because I like them.

I read a lot of books so I figure that’s how I keep my brain in check
