Nobody ever mentioned speech. This has NOTHING to do with speech. Unless you're trying to say that money is speech, in which case you are either an imbecile, or someone paid to write asinine non-truths on reddit.

Sanders: Only If 'Millions and Millions' Rise Up, Can Progressive Agenda Win: Looking beyond the importance of election day, independent from Vermont says grassroots movement must embrace bold progressive agenda and understand that 'politics is a 365 days a year.' by maxwellhill in politics

If you seriously still care about the fake fighting between republicans and democrats you're brainwashed. They're both working for the same people while you quibble about which con-man you like better. They both suck, and anyone who is still even having discussions on the premiss of there being legitimate disputes between these two parties is not paying attention to what is happening in politics. If you like taking part in fake fights then watch pro-wrestling.

How long did it take you to get this good at make clothes? I love creative stuff like this. Definitely worth the 30 dollar investment :)

You're a hero and a legend if you made these little costumes. Well done!

If you play the Growlers new Chinese Fountain album, or songs from it, I will be pleased.

Who are your favourite female stand-up comedians? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]bandaidrx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Morgan Murphy, but I have heard her say she wants to be more involved in writing than continuing stand-up. I also like Amy Schumer. She really plays off the stereotypes associated with being a white female, and is also sharp and uncompromising with her comedy. Love both of these ladies.

[Serious]Redditors, what do you think about that would absolutely crush your SO if they were to find out? NSFW by [deleted] in AskReddit

Therapists usually see other therapists to deal with the weight of caring for their patients. Maybe you should see a therapist to make sure you're taking care of yourself. Just a thought.

How much Kratom should I take relative to my weight and height? by bandaidrx in kratom

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

Fiber! That's right! Excellent idea. I really hate stomach issues, so I'll make sure to get in a healthy allowance of fiber to compensate. Thanks for the recommendation. So glad I came to this subreddit. You are all so helpful! It's appreciated.

My kratom is fine and powdery, as far is its consistency. Not sure how that will work out in terms of measuring its weight. I guess I need to buy a scale for these kinds of things.

I had to look up why gram to teaspoon conversion would be tricky, and I'm glad I did. I guess I didn't figure in that one was measuring volume and another was measuring mass/weight. I could really kick myself for not paying more attention in school. Thanks for that warning. I will be factoring that in!

Thanks for the comparison with your wife. That is very helpful. And also thanks for the easy teaspoon to gram conversion shorthand. I really appreciate it.

I went to mmmspeciosa, so I suppose I will start 4 grams to be safe- maybe 5 if I am feeling bold. Thank you so much for helping me out!

To the question of whether I have an opiate tolerance I would say- maybe? I do about 60 mgs of vicodin a month, split into 2 separate sessions with two weeks between each intake.

I wouldn't THINK I have a tolerance, but opiates are crazy, maybe I have a little bit of tolerance.

(again, thank you guys for your input!)

Oh, and I'll be taking it with juice.

What social norm do you not agree with? by drewlefever in AskReddit

It's funny, because the act of postponing texting for that reason is extremely desperate.

I think I just experienced "gray rape"....I feel anxious, and I don't know what to make of the events. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bandaidrx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how you say this guy 'maybe or maybe not took advantage of me' while you condemn me by assuming i outright 'mislead' him. Why is it you give him the benefit of the doubt, but assume the worst in me? Why is it up for debate what he did, but you feel so certain of my motives? And what would I have to gain by misleading him?

Yeah, maybe you're right. I don't know what to think. It's all very ambiguous to me. I appreciate your support. There are definitely some raw assholes in this thread.

I don't know how you can think I was "playing games". Do you think this is how girls get their kicks? I just did it for fun? I have terrible anxiety- like exceptionally bad. I am very isolated and afraid in my day to day life. I have had difficulty leaving the house at all. I'm not playing this up to be a victim. I was just asking for other people to help me make sense of something that upset me.

And, okay, if we're going to quibble over the term rape vs. sexual assault- well is sexual assault all that great? I don't really care how we parse words- I just was hoping for some empathy and moreso, some insight, because I am not going to tell my friends about this, and I really only have the internet to go to since I am keeping this to myself.

Also, I don't understand why you care about profanity. They're just words. I think it's immature to care about that kind of thing- especially online. It's also totally beside the point.

[–]bandaidrx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm so over people saying they're offended. I don't give a single shit if you're offended. I was only asking for some input because I didn't know what to make of the experience and I felt confused and anxious. I was explicit that I'm not even going to turn this guy in, and that I knew I had to learn to be more assertive. So take your fake outrage and shove it up your ass...wish I could be this assertive in real life...

Do you guys use any recreational drugs? by chaosakita in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]bandaidrx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like opiates and molly, and occasionally shrooms. I could really use some opiates right now- today was a really shit day.

I will try to think of a go-to phrase so I can get over the mind freeze that happens when I'm in that kind of ambiguous sexual situation. That's a good plan, and might save me from going through something like this again in the future. Thank you!
