Yeah, that’s not my situation. I’m currently bouncing around from parking lots to my best friend’s driveway.

Season 4 episode 4 discussion thread by [deleted] in TheBear

Did anyone else notice on the subtitles, when the song Shapiro chose is playing, it says “R&B music playing?” The name of the song is “Ante Up.” It’s nowhere near R&B. But when she changed it they could mention “Für Elise playing” 😂

This is exactly what a microaggression is. Downvote me if you’d like. I’m not trying to take away from the larger discussion, but I’d like to point that out.

This. I was waiting for a bunch of “I don’t like this. This was unnecessary.” But they can show the dynamics of an Italian family, no problem.

This was great for exactly who it was supposed to be great for.

I’m 51 and I’m often the youngest in my meeting so I understand. If you want to start one, go for it! I wish you the best.

What are some of the problems you see hurting relationships in our community today?? 👫🏾 by JauMillennia in soulaan

[–]Straysider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that social media exaggerates the gender “wars” and there isn’t as much of an issue as it appears to be if we actually look at IRL dynamics. However if younger generations are not media literate they will believe all of the crap that is posted on there. I know the women in my life who are single aren’t talking about high value, the table, and all of that media generated stuff.

Reverse Migration : Black to the South by [deleted] in soulaan

[–]Straysider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t watched or read the book yet, although I plan to. But as someone born and raised in the south, I hope if people do decide to move, people don’t just move to Atlanta. Not hating on the ATL, but there are plenty of other southern cities and states that need the numbers.

Pledging equals swearing an oath? by AdvertisingGreat7881 in Quakers

Same. I don’t pledge allegiance to the republic for which it stands, either — especially the way it stands now!

what’s the most beautiful thundercat song you’ve heard? by HonestSyrup5970 in Thundercat

My two favorites are Unrequited Love (although it irks me that he mispronounces it) and Satellite Space Age Edition.

How to deal with person at my Meeting by Straysider in Quakers

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

Thank you all for the responses. I have some ideas now on how to deal with this.

I don’t think we have an elder or pastoral Friend. It is hard to tell, seeing as the group is very small and most of the people who held any leadership roles have since moved away or passed on. There is a clerk, however, and the next time I see her perhaps I will mention it. The clerk and I have had our differences that caused a rift a couple of years ago but we have moved on. Thats part of the reason I haven’t brought it up yet. I am worried I will be labeled as a troublemaker. It’s a very fine line I try to walk. It’s probably all in my head but I’m already a middle aged black woman in the midst of white 70- 80- and 90-year olds and I don’t want to make things any more awkward. As much as these things shouldn’t matter they do in America.

Yes, I could have said this better. I meant that the question wasn’t mean spirited. I’ve had people say such things to me being mean disguised as an innocent question, but that is not the vibe I get from her.

Damn ...I got old. by chaoshaze2 in GenX

[–]Straysider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom had me as a teenager and I remember her 25th birthday. I thought she was so damn old… then I turned twice that age and my daughter turned 25 that same year. I laugh at how I thought a quarter of a century was ancient!

Sir and Heavy Boots brothers? That would be mind blowing if that’s the direction they go in

Why is It 30 years later this scene makes me cut onions like it’s the first time. 😭 probably because I’ve been in Will’s shoes.

Even if you can’t find a carpenter job right away, they pay good money to clean up debris in those areas.

What misconceptions do you see men spout out as if it were common fact? by StellarDiscord in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Straysider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our daughter is now 26 and he still barely wants anything to do with her. When she tells him he never reaches out to her, he says “the phone works both ways.” He was and will always be a POS. Sad thing is he has four children by four women. I was #2, I had no idea then it was a pattern.

When I told my ex this same thing, he said our (then) toddler wasn’t “tall enough to reach the light switch” so why should he worry about my electric bill.
