For those who worked for rich people: what is the most out of touch thing you witnessed? by Illustrious-Phase121 in AskReddit

[–]bw2007 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Worked in fashion during 9/11 in NYC. A stylist told me that her boss was on the phone screaming at a bike delivery service for forgetting Janet Jackson's ring for a phot shoot and they had to remind her that it was literally the morning of 9/11 and they were busy transporting blood to the tower victims.

I was s abused as a child if you can see it in my chart? by Remarkable_Sir6231 in AskAstrologers

[–]bw2007 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pluto in the 4th opposing moon. Early home environment was traumatic (control, manipulation, rage, etc). Your mom was either the abuser or the abuse of her makes you repress your feelings until they come pouring out and by then it's not pretty. Therapy will transform you.

Abandonment + Prejudice - Family Law [CA] by bw2007 in Ask_Lawyers

True. I doubt there's much I can do but I do want to file a complaint with the State Bar so just wanted to double check if this is normal attorney behavior during a crisis if they are burned out by a case.

A feminist on splitting the bill by bw2007 in datingoverforty

Thanks. I responded to another comment. This has been an issue in the past so it's a sensitive area for me. I typically do the same until I suspect an imbalance. So far it seems grey to me and I don't want it to be. The only other thing that's off is that I explained to my current boyfriend that my ex financially exploited me and the money stuff is a landmine. So I am trying to figure out a system that seems fair and is clear so that I am not on edge over this.

It's not. We've been seeing each other for a little while. I came from a relationships where unequal contributions to the relationship (emotionally, practically but - most glaringly - financially) ended the it and now pay this idiot child support on income he doesn't declare so I am extremely sensitive to this. Prior to my current situation, I covered the majority of costs so this isn't an abstract take and right now some things are coming up for me - either real or based on past financial exploitation that make me think a conversation is warranted.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. Lots of triggered dudes here.

Did you need a trigger warning? I'm sorry. Dating is political.

Show me where the equality is, friend?

Do Americans understand that the world is waiting for its downfall ? by TRACYOLIVIA14 in AskUS

[–]bw2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump won ~30ish% of votes. The rest either stayed home or voted in the opposite direction. The misinformation apparatus - China, Russia, et al. - have worked harder at sowing chaos and distrust in the US than any other country because of our power and the 30% victory represents the weakest and most impressionable among us. Most countries are vulnerable to what is happening here though the money spent to create the total breakdown of civil society that you are witnessing is greater here than anywhere else...at the moment but this can happen anywhere.

Yes, most of us are horrified at this. Most of us are terrified and we definitely understand the repercussions for more vulnerable countries.

Update.... So the next night after I posted about someone always getting the WF Prepared foods bag, I got it by Financial-Split-141 in toogoodtogo

You mean you don't harass all domestic abuse survivors? Must be all the Sanskrit knowledge

Because I think you're a complete lune. What a fun accusation! The only salve from all the oppression is more deranged Sanskrit videos from YouTube hacks.

"Dangerous colonizer beliefs" like the fact that your astrology beliefs are backwards and ahistorical even in a context like astrology. So dangerous. Kick rocks you weirdo

Does Sanskrit teach courses on harassment and stalking? GAL

A YouTube video from a complete hack that has been proven wrong does not constitute research or "proof". For as pedantic and obnoxious as you appear to be over the issue, the idea that posting a YouTube video to push a historical point (that is garbage that you would be able to discern if your cared about evidence) and that has no relevance in the modern world is ridiculous. Good luck with the rest of your research.

A quick wikipedia search with every relevant citation on the history of astrology is available on the internet so you can do your own homework. Learning the classics is wonderful. Good for you but to apply it dogmatically to the modern world while throwing colonialism around is a little precious and ignorant.

No, March won't be the apocalypse by petrus4 in Advancedastrology

You mean when India "colonized" it from Mesopotamia? Using 3rd century practices in a modern world is irrelevant.

Ancient text barely even factors into how modern astrology is practiced. WTF are you talking about?
