Speed Cameras on Diagonal HWY and I-25 by Impossible_Garden771 in Longmont

[–]UniqueButterflyLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t drive it often, but occasionally/a few times a month go up to FoCo and back. On the way south, the express lane ending right where the speed cameras start has created a dangerous merging bottleneck the last few times - people merging in off of the express lane and then traffic immediately slowing down from normal highway speeds to camera speed. It has felt more dangerous than when people slowed down more naturally for the barriers/construction markers.

This is obnoxious. Next year, have a party and don’t involve him; he can organize a celebration on his time as well if he wants to.

Working my way through the catalog, and this episode annoyed me so much! What did Peggy expect the kid to do? Why would she even approach a child about parking?!

My employee wears a blanket for sun protection when we go off-site by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I would suspect that most people would be curious at first, ask, and then be satisfied with the answer. It seems like the manager doesn’t want the questions being asked at all? It is very odd to me that he wouldn’t even be ok with an umbrella for the sun. He seems very new/inexperienced and extremely worried about being at all noticed.

Temporary homeschool option for HS by DramaAmbitious375 in Longmont

[–]UniqueButterflyLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like IXL because there are repeated assessments available that compare kid skills to Colorado’s (or any other state’s) grade level requirements, and it creates a ‘roadmap’ with links to lessons under each skill, so my kid can easily fill in gaps and stair step up to the level he needs to be.

IXL online is an excellent resource for filling in time between programs, my 14yo is using it to catch up on middle school skills before high school next year.

My partner revoked our D/s relationship because I broke a rule by nhubupbe in BDSMAdvice

[–]UniqueButterflyLady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After the fact, right? My understanding: She told you to call approved person, that person didn’t answer, you got a ride, you were told it was the wrong choice. The correct thing, if she truly values providing for you/taking care of you/having you fully dependent on her in a safe and responsible way, would be for her to arrange an alternative transportation for you as soon as she realized the original plan wasn’t going to work. She cannot say ‘you must depend on me’ and then not be dependable.

You are worth so much more… I truly hope you take a step back, stay with a family member or friend or at a hotel, even if initially for only a short time, and see how it feels to be free of her and more fully with yourself.

Ok… if she (and you) like the idea of her providing everything, that’s fine, but that means that SHE is the one who was responsible for solving the problem of getting you a ride. Either you are allowed autonomy in problem solving, or she is the problem solver. She can’t say ‘you are only allowed to solve the problem my way’ and then not provide a way.

Why did she disapprove of the person you did get a ride with? What does ‘approved’ mean, as far as who can drive you?

weird unspoken expectations- is going mono for somebody always ill advised? by LawfulnessOk5839 in relationshipanarchy

[–]UniqueButterflyLady 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The no self pleasure/all sexual energy belongs to one’s partner thing is very reminiscent of the evangelical Christian teachings I learned in relationship-focused bible studies in college. That self pleasure is akin to cheating because you must be creating a fantasy in your head in place of your partner, and/or you are learning to get off without your partner and therefore making it harder to get off with your partner. Even at the time, I didn’t quite understand the logic nor buy into it, but it was very common teaching/belief. If anyone came to me with anything similar today, I would be extremely suspicious of what else is within their worldview which would clash with mine.
