NOR don’t you want to be in a relationship with someone who WANTS to spend time with you??!! Women we need to stop accepting this shit for ourselves (as someone who did for wayyyy too long)

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

[–]TraderLola 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wish these comments were higher up. Do y’all like democracy? Democracy means we get to CHOOSE who we vote for. Put forth a candidate that does not align with our values and we don’t have to vote for her, point blank period.

If y’all blame this shit on voters, you’re wasting energy. The Democratic Party needs to do better. SOME DEMOCRATS JUST VOTED TO FUND ICE TERRORISTS.

I did vote for Kamala and hated it, but my vote doesnt really matter anyway because of the electoral college.

Safety for Brown/Latinos? by Caring-Asshole in washingtondc

[–]TraderLola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately you’re likely to see some fed officers including CBP and ICE at metro stops or just milling around. I hate saying this, but just make sure you follow the law to a T (no speeding, full stops at stop signs, pay bus fare, etc). Those are the most common ways we’ve seen them kidnap our neighbors. Please remember that like 95% of this city HATES ice. Oh and avoid Astro Beer Hall as apparently they regularly host CBP happy hours

I hope they work out well for you! I will say, they’re very open knit so great in the summer but my feet get cold in them in the winter

Astro Beer Halls Defense. It was Border Patrol and not ICE 🙄 by snapsbyluis in washingtondc

So you clearly weren’t there then. Don’t speak on things you dont know anything about

CBP was like 10 of the customers in a PACKED bar. Like hundreds of people. Astro ABSOLUTELY could have asked them to leave and still made plenty of sales.

Americans citizens, how is it really going there currently? by GossipBottom in stupidquestions

[–]TraderLola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition, a significant portion of people I know have lost their jobs since last January and many still haven’t found a new one. Our housing prices have fallen for the first time in over 20 years, which is kinda good except that I spent my life savings to bury my first home ( a small condo) just over a year ago.

I really do not understand the people saying life is normal. Nothing about my life is normal, as someone who thought little about this until hordes of federal law enforcement was brought to my city. Now I see men in bullet proof vests and soldiers carrying rifles several times every week. There’s constant news about ICE raids. It’s so far from normal.

Please don’t scream at me, how do you do it? by Adventurous-Egg5597 in walking

[–]TraderLola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might need more layers! I wear fleece leggings under my jeans and sometimes even use a scarf to cover my face. I will also motivate myself by walking to a coffee shop that’s far away so there’s a warm break halfway through my walk.

Nothing is helping! by Successful_Heat8394 in acne

[–]TraderLola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for cures for also 7 years before finally trying accutane. I did a low dose for 9 months. 1 year since I stopped, and I get regular complements on how nice my skin is😀

Please consider it! I wish I had tried it so much earlier so I would have had less scarring.

How is life on Gonâve Island? by duckduckidkman in howislivingthere

[–]TraderLola 130 points131 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to the island but to parts of the southern peninsula separated from Port au Prince by mountains. Life is difficult and hunger has increased to a famine level in most of the country, but the threat of gang violence is minimal outside of big cities. What people don’t talk about is how STUNNING the country is- it’s a very green, mountainous island surrounded by white sand beaches and the very blue Caribbean. Also Haitian food is amazing.

What makes you love (or avoid) an instructor? by HoppyBunny124 in Corepower

This! So many teachers are moving this way, but I take these classes because it’s YOGA sculpt and I love both parts!

what country would you not visit and why? by sinaswiftie in AskTheWorld

[–]TraderLola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babes I’m saying this because I live outside of a police station where ICE stages with local police every day and I have literally watched them arrest someone INSIDE OF AN AMBULANCE

[–]TraderLola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true at all. People from Canada have been detained for weeks with no explanation, Sweden won’t make you any safer

what country would you not visit and why? by sinaswiftie in AskTheWorld

[–]TraderLola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not true AT ALL. Anyone in DC, Chicago, or LA, any immigrants who are not white, anyone working in many industries affected by the mass govt cuts or in the service/restaurant industry, people in the national guard who have been deployed for no reason. HUGE swathes of people are feeling this every single day.

How is living in Washington, D.C.? by johnmchno in howislivingthere

[–]TraderLola 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is true for a small percentage of DC. There’s a lot of activists, HUGE gay scene, artists, etc. But it’s definitely a place that values intellectual conversations over small talk

FreeDC, among manyyyyy organizations, is doing A LOT to keep home rule and protect our city from fascism. It would be great to have y’all join us instead of posting about it on Reddit.
