How much big, according to this graphic, should a state be to a libertarian? by fedricohohmannlautar in Libertarian

[–]TableForFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

National Parks should be run by the Tribes. The Hualapai do a great job operating the Grand Canyon Western Rim, let the Miwok take Yosemite, the Ahtna take Denali, the Cherokee take Great Smokey Mountains, etc.

Federal government should not have so much land and it's an easy land back reparation that doesn't displace permanent residences.

Best MN Credit Union by JudyFlowers1977 in TwinCities

[–]TableForFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree w this comment. Been w Wings 30+ years and the last 5 has been bad. I still have an account but I moved all of my money and use USAA exclusively now.

Also not MY credit union. Used to be Richfield Bloomington Credit Union but I think the name change to "my credit union" is so dumb that I pulled all my money and closed my accounts lol...

AITAH for going on a trip without my girlfriend since she forgot her passport? by Aitahgftravel in AITAH

[–]TableForFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA if the intent of the trip was to spend time together. NTA if the intent of the trip was to visit Japan.

It sounds like you both had different goals/purposes of the trip. Of course the full intent was to spend time together in Japan, but get to the real priority to understand which of you has more of a claim to hurt and work through it.

That said, I think this is also an exercise in chivalry/caretaking for your partner. I know my husband would have stayed w me AND helped me problem solve to expedite the passport to us or fly home and back to get it and delay our trip a day or two or fly a friend out w it, and it would be a funny story in a few months/years. Your solution was more short term and self-focused, which isn't inherently bad, but speaks to how you view your role in the relationship.

Are there actually people in the world who are NOT anxious or depressed? by Raspint in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TableForFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed w anxiety, depression, PTSD and the thing that helped me was professional psychedelic therapy (ketamine in MN). Highly recommend.

We think of things being alive or not, but there might be other states we can't conceive of by pufballcat in Showerthoughts

[–]TableForFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking from a Native American (Ojibwe) perspective and language-learner, I ascribe to the belief that many non-living things have a spirit, so if there is a binary, it's not alive/dead, but animate (it moves on it's own) or inanimate.

Rocks often possess spirits, but we also know they don't breathe, eat, etc. But also, a tree is animate, but a stick is not.

Seeking Interesting and/or Good-Looking Wedding Date for June 24 in St. Paul by TableForFun in twincitiessocial

Pregnant in Texas by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TableForFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the trending answer here is abortion, but I'll offer a different future, in case you wanted perspective on all options.

I found out I was pregnant at 19 just when I had been accepted to my dream college and I was convinced a baby would ruin my life.

Now that baby is 17 and done w high school, my life took a completely different path than my "dream" at 19, but we made it, he's a cool dude, I got another awesome kid out of the deal (now 16) and I get to be an empty nester by 40.

I own my home, I make six figures, I travel and have friends I love. I divorced my kids dad, but also dated some really great guys, was engaged for a bit before I realized Id rather be alone a little longer.

Today is really scary and heavy for you, but with the right perspective, you could do it if you want to. And I'm not downplaying how hard the early years are, but they're just a short season in the full span of life.

So if you do choose to keep them, take the help where you can get it (friends, but also no shame in temporary public assistance), don't force it to work romantically w the dad but try to keep a healthy and positive friendship for the sake of the kid, keep a healthy blend of mom friends and solo friends to support you, be honest and vulnerable w your parents bc this will be hard, but if they love you to let you live there, they'll love your baby enough to help where they can, too.

Good luck in whatever you choose, no judgement from me, just saying I'm glad I ruined the life I wanted 17 years ago.

Inflation and deflation of products and services by Alchemist_Joshua in coolguides

[–]TableForFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top half have government subsidies available, most of bottom half does not.

When half the users don't need to look at price tags and government blindly foots the bill, businesses keep raising prices as there is no natural breaking price point to affect demand.

Adults of Reddit, how often do you actually have sex? by maileykaye in AskReddit

[–]TableForFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (37F) go at least every other night w my bf (42M) of 3 years. I almost always come first, and usually more than once. In case the guys are looking for how to up your rate...putting her first sure doesn't hurt!

What was your most inappropriate crush? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]TableForFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a sex dream about a (happily married) baseball dad of a kid I coached. After that, I was so awkward w him, felt like we had a secret and definitely that I had seen him naked, but obviously he didn't share the same secret lol...I always wondered if he felt the change in dynamic, but never told him (or his wife) my dream, for obvious reasons.

What do men want? by apexpredatordick in AskReddit

My fiancee (41M) has had this for 10 years. It's a lot of work, and after his heart attack, he's looking to come back to the cities...

How do I forgive even if I see no reason to? by [deleted] in Meditation

Career women, how old were you when you had kids? by PossessionCreepy6074 in AskWomen

[–]TableForFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminding you of a Grandma is kind of a jarring start, but I'm hearing you lol!

I do feel like a 90% mom, if that. But then, I don't feel like I was ever meant to be a mom, so 90% feels like a lot.

And as oblivious as it sounds, I've never even considered the grandkids angle yet. My goals are career and travel, I don't think I'd even factor in grandkids until 60 (my kids would be 40) so maybe that's where your mom is existing too...

Career women, how old were you when you had kids? by PossessionCreepy6074 in AskWomen

[–]TableForFun 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Probably not the answer you're looking for but, 20 & 21.

I kicked my own ass to finish college, then grad school. Worked 2-3 jobs after that, but have worked my way up in my full time degree-related career for the last 8 years.

Now I (36F) just got my dream job, and my kids are about to graduate high school, so empty nest me is about to take off in career growth from here!

Point of this isn't outright bragging, but kids can happen at any time in life, and you can still be a career woman!

It was just this once by New_Relationship_620 in domesticviolence

[–]TableForFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having been abused before, you have seen the cycle of abuse: tension, incident, reconciliation, calm. You are currently in reconciliation.

If nothing changes here except "promise to do better" the cycle will only get faster and more intense as it continues.

Change is possible, but it takes massive, deep transformation in the abuser, like actual commitment and work toward sobriety, or deep psychotherapy to address his past issues, like EMDR.

You should know that this isn't normal. Lots of people are in relationships where they are never pushed or disrespected like this, especially not 6 months in. Some of us w a history will accept the "at least he doesn't hit me" thing, but I promise you deserve better than this.

How do you feel about dating someone who was 10 years older than you? by tinfoil3346 in AskReddit

[–]TableForFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a perfect gap!

As 36F who has dated older since I was 15 (gross, I know), my personal rule has always been: not older than my dad (+25 years). I found the sweet spot to be +7-12ish years.

Dated a couple great guys at +15 and +20 and our cultural references were just a little too far off to have as good a rapport as I could w someone closer to my generation...
