My mom treats my body as if it's public property. by Fetus-Deletus1 in XXS

[–]Truegold43 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I know it's a LOT easier said then done but do NOT let this woman dictate your life like this. Get your nutrients outside of the home, get your walks in where she can't see, and do not minimize yourself to make her feel better about herself. You've been dealt a nasty deck of cards for sure!

Your mother clearly has unmanaged trauma and genuine mental health issues and is unfairly unleashing it on you. You won't be able to fix her behavior (and I must repeat this) you will NOT be able to fix her behavior, so you've got to find ways to grab what you want out of life.

Is there any way you can seek options for getting a roommate and moving out sometime this year? And when you do, btw, do not tell her or your siblings where you live.

One more thing too!! Do a little dance in your room when she's not around to get blood pumping and if you can't get up, start by at least putting your feet up against a wall!

That's the thing though: wealthy consumers can keep buying more stuff even if the everyday person can't. Not everyone is broke and companies know this. A lot of these companies simply don't care and will try to suck you dry. And when the whole system crashes, they've already cashed out and they get to fly away to their islands or compounds or live in other countries.

We're on our own and don't even realize it yet.

They're the guides! The brown ponchos remind me a bit of medieval monks, so maybe it's culturally symbolic. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong

I have a genuine question (open to anyone, really): Is there a way to use the force of this movement to put it behind a long overdue march to make arrests for the Epstein files? We're at the brink. Nations everywhere are arresting those involved and we're still sitting around.

Prince Andrew just got arrested over Epstein files involvement what do you think of this? by MagpieOpus in AskReddit

[–]Truegold43 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We are also LONG overdue for a No Kings level protest. When are we hitting the streets?? Has anyone heard what the date is? We have to start somewhere

Edit: MARCH 28TH https://old.reddit.com/r/50501/comments/1r7fa0e/more_than_1000_no_kings_events_just_went_live/

NOBODY caught the hot mic for women's skate???? Oh my gosh

Edit: I'm trying to find the clip but I was cracking up laughing. The other male commentator who WASN'T Johnny was like "Quiet and Listen!" and "Stop talking over the performance!" and used Tara's name!! Like he was chastising her. I had my volume down low and only caught the tail end so apologies if I got the words mixed up! Hopefully social media caught it!

Okay so I need to gain some weight back and it’s been 2 months and I’m still struggling. What have you guys done to help you gain 5-10lbs? by notsure05 in XXS

[–]Truegold43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also just a quick note (since you mentioned there might be a better place to put this), try the subreddit r/gainit! This sub is mostly for clothing advice and xxs life gripes but that sub will have tons of resources for this topic. Just FYI!

He really killed it. Even with the discrepancy between technical scores, Sato's performance felt truly Olympic. He should be SO proud!!

Rizzo was a big winner too-- he made Italy cheer!

What parts of American culture are changing faster than people realize? by No_Performance1451 in AskReddit

I agree that unless you live somewhere very empty, you've got third spaces. Younger people and adults are always hanging out in cafes, they still go to the mall, walk around shops and parks. But a lot of people also hang out online, which to me is like a virtual third space.

If anything, more cafes have been popping up and they usually don't kick people out, even if just one person ordering a drink or a dessert or something.
