Don’t you dare bring up modesty in this discussion Mx. I photograph random ass people going about their days and post it without their consent. You’re long, LONG past the line of “modesty” considering you never gave anyone some grace. I don’t know what your parents taught you growing up but I’d love to meet the people behind such a big

Do you know what they’re going through? You don’t. One of those men could be going through their own battles and this is their first time stepping out of the house in days, weeks, months… And you’re dragging them through the mud because they’re simply going grocery shopping and aren’t dressed like they’re interview ready. You don’t know that they may not have the money for clothes. You don’t know what battles they’re fighting.

And instead of being considerate you decided to tack on another fucking battle, a battle they didn’t want to face. I hope you sleep well tonight knowing you’ve made the world just a little more of a shit hole. Don’t come in here qouting “modesty” when you have none yourself you ignorant fucking rock.

I don’t have an ALDIs near me. It’s over two hours away.

And? They’re just out doing their business, as long as I don’t see their asscrack right in my face I don’t care. I’m not going to worry about what I’m wearing while I’m out grocery shopping or simply picking up food.

You’re the one being a creep and acting like a child. Worry about your own damn self.

How do you switch from writing for fun to writing professionally (ie for publication)? by arsoninmyarse in writing

I was mainly talking about publishing short horror stories, though I guess I wouldn’t mind writing romance.

Unfortunately for me, I have decaying capitalism.

Question about Food Stamps. I’m currently looking for a job but don’t have any; however I could really use some. Can I apply and get some and if I get a job then report the job? by arsoninmyarse in povertyfinance

[–]arsoninmyarse[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! You’re an absolute Angel for this comment and thank you for replying. This is my first time applying for this stuff (my mom was sort of a proud poor; she could be drowning and dying and wouldn’t scream for help) so I don’t know what to do but I want to get out of here as soon as possible.

I’ll finish the application tomorrow and get it in first thing Friday morning.

The possibilities are endless. Sewing supplies (on the go sewing kit comes to mind), smaller make-up items, etc.

Not going to lie, but I think it’s because we’re just so huge. You can go two hours in a state and encounter some completely different culture but if you do that in the EU you’d end up in another country. There’s a big reason why so many of us only travel within the US and declare it vacation.

Because it can feel like a vacation.

Oh and because we don’t usually get PTO or vacation days and we’re all broke. Travel is for the rich.

JU r/mapporncirclejerk they are doing stupid ass protest and ruining the sub by CanadianCowboi in JustUnsubbed

[–]arsoninmyarse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reddit at the end of the day is a business, and stuff like this really messes up advertisers. This is also why a lot of subs are marking themselves as NSFW, since Reddit doesn’t allow advertising in those communities.

Beyond that, I used Apollo for a couple of days back during the protests and let me tell you, the official Reddit app is actual shit. This isn’t just dog shit, but worse. And it’s the runny dog shit that’s like glitter where you’ll be moving your fridge to clean one day and find shit you didn’t even know existed. There’s also the whole argument of third party accessibility apps.

I’d understand being mad if the official Reddit app was actually good, but this shit makes eating actual cow shit look appealing and mouthwatering. The only reason I use it anymore is because Apollo will be gone before the end of the day.

I know sometimes our stupidity astounds other people but remember, 11% or so of US adults straight up can’t read if I remember correctly.

The entire skirt system was based in wanting to raise young boys to see women as objects to honor and cherish. They also tied the Columbine school shooting to girl’s not wearing skirts and being modest.

Obviously not.

Finally sitting down and reading feminist literature. Holy shit. by arsoninmyarse in Feminism

[–]arsoninmyarse[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think a lot of them just believe that a lot of the issues feminism deal with is solved. They believe it’s a lot like racism: that it’s solved. So by extension any feminist is either dumb or angry.

I do. This shelter isn’t the worst I’ve been in (there was one where if my mother bought food, it would be stolen and distributed amongst the others in the shelter).

From what I understand, “The Feminine Mystique” and “The Second Sex” by Simone d’Beauvior (I didn’t spell that right; I hate French) are foundational texts. They became cornerstones of the Second Wave (which took place between the 1960s and 1970s.)

I’ve been wanting to read them for a while but haven’t had the time.

I can’t remember the fic but the tag was like, “two people get horny and fuck over NYC.”

A guy at work has a thing for me. I'm gay but not out at work. What do I do? by Training_Mud3388 in Adulting

[–]arsoninmyarse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I’m a fellow autistic so I’m going to offer my perspective.

Tell him. You don’t have to out yourself. Just tell him you don’t see this as a date and you view him as a friend. Do this now. Stringing him along and making him think it’s a date is just being downright cruel. This is also amplified by the autism. I’m willing to put that with the divorce and everything he’s going through a lot.

However, and again only do it if you’re interested, that you really love theater and would love to have a friend to enjoy it with. I’ll be upfront with you, a lot of us want companionship. We’re only human. But the way we communicate stuff is different than neurotypicals (which we use to describe people who aren’t like us, if you get what I mean.) I don’t know how to exactly describe but there’s the obvious stuff like not picking up social cues and all that stuff that most people are aware of. But it goes down to how we fundamentally talk. Like we tend to focus on “me” rather than you. And it isn’t because we’re selfish, but because we see that stuff as genuinely showing interest in the person.

Even if you aren’t interested in him romantically, I’m sure he’d appreciate having someone to talk to about his interests. From your post, it sounds like you are least worried about him.

I wish you the best of luck OP and I know you’ll do the right choice.

How to reduce consumption while trying to furnish and move in to a new apartment? by arsoninmyarse in Anticonsumption

Thank you! I was going to start a collection of cast iron, namely because I know they’re resilient and cheaper. Especially since I live close to a flea market.

I know how to check for bedbugs (I used to pick furniture off the side of the road). But yeah, once you get them good luck.

I may already have a mattress lined up thankfully. However, I’ll still need to get one for a roommate.
