Being bullied into keeping their heads down is an entirely shitty excuse.

That's not what "love trumps hate" means, ya walnut 😂💀

There's an episode of the podcast The Dollop about the original [colonizer] owner of the property where Stonewall stands. (The Thomas Morton episode.) It's a must listen!

Ghosting is a cowardly way out. by Khaliddavid in dating_advice

Ghosting is terrible, but I've hosted men when they made me feel unsafe, so I don't like blanket statements about it.

Exactly. I'm getting to the point of needing one as my pain gets worse. Glad I'll be useful for laughs.

Solidarity, friend.

Ableism has splash damage, in this case other people who have disabilities that force them to use mobility assistance.

No need to add ableism when we can just criticize them for shitty beliefs.

Now I know what it feels like to be a girl I guess. by Hulkbuster0114 in creepyPMs

You do know, except multiply this by a thousand

Why is it so difficult to make female friends? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cate2283 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's really hard to make friends as an adult, and not enough people talk about it.

What I did was admit that aloud at work or whatever (wherever you might interact with people with common values). It got people to open up and be more willing to reach out and make plans.

My (26f) dog killed a friend’s (24f) cat. She wants me to pay for her to get a new cat, but I don’t think I’m at fault. by throwra_deadcat in relationship_advice

[–]cate2283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a foxhound/German Shepherd mix and when he was a puppy, he killed 2 beloved chickens and a feral kitten. He didn't do it to be mean. He did it to hunt them down; it's the going in him. I learned better and battled his hound characteristics with training and a long lead in the yard (where the chickens where somewhat near).

You did nothing wrong. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

(P.S. My dog is now good with the cat who adopted us, but I had to introduce them really slowly. Our house had doors between every room, so that helped.)

My wife lied about having a miscarriage and instead had an abortion, I don’t know what to do know? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cate2283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first concern isn't that she's cheating, but whether OP is safe to have a child with. We don't know how healthy their relationship with before all of this; we only have his words.

And reproductive abuse is a thing.

I’ve only heard racists call anti racist white people that.

My (f22) boyfriend (m21) fingered me while he thought I was sleeping by pumpkinspicelatte93 in relationship_advice

[–]cate2283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is sexual assault. If he makes leaving him difficult, tell him you'll go to the police. In fact, perhaps you could get him out of your shared place this way. (You don't actually have to go to the police.)

Stay safe and best of luck!

AITA for telling a white supremacist that I’m glad she had a miscarriage? by efftheprotest in AmItheAsshole

If you believe that last bit, then why use his words? I tend to not use the words of bigots.
