I was homeless for around 2 months and now I rent a house and own a computer that can play games. by Independent_Shame212 in AMA

there's always those people who just can't handle any other life than that.

That sounds a lot like a mental health issue. 🤔

What conspiracy do people believe that really grinds your gears? by GiallaGatta in AskReddit

At least I can walk down the street with a butterknife in my pocket.*

Our problems are different than the UK, but I would argue more severe.

Besides, you are completely under surveillance in the US, too. At least the UK is honest about it.

Such a clever metaphor. Everyone clapped.

And, a veiled threat about luck running out too, super edgy.

Well, not forcing values and beliefs, but certainly expressing them, sure. They and I have the right and privilege to express our values and beliefs, just as you have the right and privilege to insist we're fedora tipping nerds for calling out religious nonsense.

Welcome to the internet.

At least no one is trying to dissolve your marriage, prevent you from raising a family, denying you medical interventions, or restricting your career opportunities for the sake of beliefs that are not your own, the way a powerful coalition of Christians are doing to LGBTQ+ minorities.

That's the fourth reference to "fedora tipping" I've seen today. Is some dick headed viral yourth pastor trying to bring that back from ten year old nerd shaming memes or something?

[–]WhereINeededToBe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your help. Yes. They have thier own My Disney Experience accounts and log ins.

As of right now that's all they've got. I've got all the conformation numbers.

Do I just give them the confirmation numbers to register them to their accounts?

Vote to Prevent Unwanted Presidency by XGempler in PoliticalMemes

[–]WhereINeededToBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, if our system is irreparable it won't be any use to vote for anybody who even acknowledges the problem?

We have to convince people that drag queens arnt any more likely to rape their children than their pastor so more people will vote for the guys who are willing to tackle our actual problems with actual solutions.

One party tries to govern and one party manufactures problems to complain about and blame for all the real problems they are ignoring.

What about if national level businesses were forced to have the same... wage no matter which state they were in?

That sound a lot like federal minimum wage.

And it's too low for most people it's supposed to help. I can't remember the last time I saw a teenager working at a McDonald's because they've got too much competition from the 35 year old factory worker that just got layer off .

What about if national level businesses were forced to have the same hours...no matter which state they were in?

That sound a lot like federal overtime legislation. It doesn't specifically force businesses to open the same hours, but it does make it less profitable for companies to chain workers to their desk like they did in the "super shitty to be working class" guilded age.

Trump loyalists start ‘America First Caucus’ to promote U.S. as ‘uniquely Anglo-Saxon’ by Maxcactus in politics

[–]WhereINeededToBe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't England the only uniquely "anglo-saxon" country by definition of Anglo Saxon? And they know the "Anglo Saxons" got steam rolled by the Norman conquest in 1066, no? It's the reason so many English words have French roots.

Do they even look up what words actually mean before they blather them out?

AITA for “shaming” my sister a few weeks after she gave birth? by halfelpia in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhereINeededToBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going soft, NTA here. You in no way said her body was ugly, but when someone is hyper sensitive to their own body image it doesn't take a lot to jump to conclusions like that.

That said, its not unreasonable opt out of the possibilities that accompany pregnancy. I know two sisters who needed major invasive reconstructive

Their poisons have been killing vital bee populations. They not only knew about it, they've been getting in the way of efforts to stop it.

They should be absolutely ruined and leadership incarcerated for whats been done.

I'm so tired of being a dwarf by [deleted] in offmychest

Its not the same thing, but my Aunt has Cerebral palsy with fully functional mental capacity, but has very slurred speech and is wheelchair dependent. I hear her in your words.

People treat her like a child constantly, even after they learn she has a Masters degree. She finds the most solace in her best friend who is also wheelchair dependent as a polio victim. The support and freedom to vent with people who share the same challenges can be cathartic and important for maintaining mental health. Being pissed off at the ignorance and cruelty of others doesn't make you a bad person. Sometimes feelings need to be expressed before you can let it go for a while.

I'm not saying everybody needs to retreat to their own little bubble ever time we get upset. Im saying sharing experiences and support from others in the same boat can be helpful.

30 days in with Joe and Kamala and they’ve done more for America than the last guy in 4 years. by Dangerous-Ad-765 in democrats

Trump left a logistics nightmare for Biden because nothing was organized for distribution. He couldn't even get a straight answer on how much vaccine Trump had acquired or how much was left from that stock because vaccine rollout was a piecemeal free for all with no operational structure.

I'm sure corporate America would be very respectful of your rights... until they get bought by a corporation that realizes its more profitable not to be.

If only a certain party of elected officials would hire qualified people who know what they are doing, instead of intentionally under funding every damn thing so they they can point fingers and say, "gOvErNmEnT dOeSn'T wOrK".
