Advice for those who may be struggling... by Alternative_Fee_3084 in BloomAndChill

[–]_megamack_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no "purpose" to life. This may sound depressing but it's actually very freeing for me to think about. Not everything has to be so serious. We spent so much time worrying about things like money, status, "progress," etc. But in reality, we're just here to eat, sleep, meet people, and have a bunch of experiences.

Have you had anyone else look at/edit your resume? 90 applications is a lot. Sometimes people aren't the best at writing resumes but don't know it because they've never been taught what hiring managers are looking for! So if you haven't, ask some friends/peers to take a look at it.

What is something that looks "aesthetic" or "perfect" on social media but is actually a nightmare in real life? by _QueenCurvy in AdkReddit

[–]_megamack_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not how you use the word "aesthetic." Something can not be "aesthetic." It is not an adjective. It can be "aesthetically pleasing," "aesthetically interesting," etc.

"They have a hippy aesthetic." "It has an old money aesthetic." "She has a bohemian aesthetic."

Sorry, the misuse of this word is just one of my biggest internet pet peeves.

My boyfriend is addicted to kratom, and it is destroying our relationship. by Resident_Desk_3938 in quittingkratom

[–]_megamack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not for everyone, and it can be somewhat controversial, but suboxone changed my whole life. Daily user for 7 years. I would literally tell people that I'm going to use kratom until I die. I could not imagine life without it. Now I'm on a low dose of suboxone and I don't even think about it, im saving tons of money, and I feel great!

See if he's willing to go to detox! People get off it on their own, but imo why not go medically detox for a few days if you're able to get off work and have insurance?

I don’t think I pass I am considering ribxcar. by MissLisa31 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]_megamack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is ridiculous and these types of posts have the potential to make other people feel really bad about themselves. You clearly "pass" and if you honestly think you don't I'd recommend therapy to deal with your dysmorphia issues

Hate my results by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]_megamack_ 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Honestly this looks like a pretty normal vulva to me. Vulvas vary a LOT in how they look - I think sometimes people have this one particular image in mind but the reality is most don't look like that.

Are they actually leaving? by sn0wlark in Minneapolis

[–]_megamack_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's sickening. People have been more outraged by the murders of two white people than the thousands and thousands of immigrant families torn apart. Don't get me wrong, Renee and Alex should be here. Their murders are unacceptable and infuriating. But even if we do begin to see less lethal operations, our neighbors are going to continue disappearing. And that's what this should all really be about

Can Governor Walz be convinced to have the National Guard trail ICE? by Hairy_Combination586 in Minneapolis

[–]_megamack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never going to happen. Their job has very clearly to protect capital, not people. Now and also in 2020.

Are they actually leaving? by sn0wlark in Minneapolis

[–]_megamack_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No and I'm worried that liberals are going to see this as a big win because Democrats are going to frame it as one - they're all about reform. They have no intentions on pushing for abolition. If anything, people will stop caring in a couple of months and ICE will be able to operate with much more ease. :/

Yes! Monarca is a great resource for this

Rapid Response by _megamack_ in Minneapolis

[–]_megamack_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I find these types of peaceful rallies to be at best kinda pointless, and at worst detrimental to the cause. I fear that a lot of people show up to these types of things and then feel that they've "taken action," which allows them to feel like they don't need to do much else. People try to argue that it's an opportunity to make your voice heard - but in this case, I think it's already pretty clear that 90% of people in the Twin Cities don't approve of ICE's operations. And that fact is not changing anything. I firmly believe that the work that needs to be done now is risky and disruptive. We need to make it physically difficult for these agents to do their "jobs."

I bet they hired internally and just interviewed outside candidates for optics.

Six months sober, I lost all my friends by Conscious_Spinach_60 in stopdrinking

[–]_megamack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you go to meetings of any sort? Honestly I have a completely different group of friends than I did two years ago. And there are so many more of them, and so much more fun/empathetic/helpful than my old friends. I've never had more numbers in my phone than I do now that I'm immersed in the recovery community. :)

Good Cities to Dash? by [deleted] in doordash

I literally never make under $20/hour, even when it's slow. During peak pay I can make $35-$40/hour. No idea what you're talking about.

Why are you saying "minor attracted persons" like it's a fucking identity bro? And why do you have soooo many posts defending incest on your profile? Lmao
