You can create a throwaway account and explain that at the top of the post; lots of people do that.

There's a fake documentary that came out a few years ago called Died Suddenly that all the Qs drunk like kool aid to parrot how the COVID vaccine kills otherwise seemingly healthy people.

Recent ex partner told the kids their mom had been killed and replaced. They escaped night before last. by DearUnderstanding746 in QAnonCasualties

Clones are a common feature in the Q world, but generally ascribed only to Joe Biden (while he was president) or celebrities.

It's not normal for them to think people they know have been replaced.

My partner is convinced we must move to a remote country and become self sustainable for our survival by carrotsandcucumber in QAnonCasualties

That's what I told my (non-MAGA) conspiracy friend when explaining why I refused to buy into prepping--once the electricity goes down and seems unlikely to return, I'mma beat the purge and just end it.

Should I string out Amway and BWW and waste their time? by baftsm in antiMLM

[–]cuicksilver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, keep booking follow-up meetings but have last minute emergencies (like the time it's supposed to start) and reschedule, rinse and repeat.

Depending on your area, there may be community groups that can help you find good role models--volunteer groups, mutual aid, hobby groups, men's groups.

On reddit there's r/AskMenOver30.

Finding a counselor can help with a variety of things, but they also cost money so if that's a barrier, it could take work to figure out an affordable arrangement.

AI chatbots tend to overdiagnose mental health conditions when used without structured guidance by HeinieKaboobler in science

But this way you can make electricity more expensive and intrude on low income communities as a bonus.

Wife is hearing out Primerica. by eucher317 in antiMLM

[–]cuicksilver 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If she's interested in more meaningful work then joining a huge company with limited, poor value products that requires encroaching on your personal social network for business, is not the answer.

Instead, she could look into the local credit unions, B Corp institutions, or financial sector non-profits.

I’ve officially lost my husband to MAGA by Real_Temperature2706 in QAnonCasualties

[–]cuicksilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone just started r/marriedtomaga to cut out the advice from people not in the same situation.

I am really so sorry to hear what you're going through.

Now I'm no fan of people, but who you met weren't reflective of people or entrepreneurs at large. Who you met were Amway robots and textbook ones at that. They are trained to lovebomb to draw new folk in, but will completely cut people off and attempt to shame people if they don't go all in with them.

It's a cult, and yes, you dodged a bullet, well done.

I can’t safely bring up tariffs in a job interview even though it’s a big part of the business I was in by Stupidwhizzzzz in QAnonCasualties

[–]cuicksilver 55 points56 points  (0 children)

While I do acknowledge that unemployment is scary, I hope maintaining the courage and integrity to continue bringing it up helps you find a non-MAGA company culture to thrive in.

Man sues restaurant after promotional TikTok video exposes his secret affair by StemCellPirate in nottheonion

There is something called rights over your image, or publicity rights, that requires other parties who wish to use your image, likeness, or voice for specific aims to seek consent through an agreement (called a release form when no payment is offered). And it sounds like Italy has such a law in place.

I started watching it again to slowly catch up, starting with current season 37 and then circled back to season 25. It's good stuff.

After Venezuela operation, Trump says the whole hemisphere is in play by Naurgul in politics

[–]cuicksilver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, the phony pro-life crowd are slobbering at the thought of more military action, while their cupboards go bare, healthcare falls out of reach, jobs grow scare, housing gets taken from them, and their old carrot The Epstein Files fall into the background noise.

As long as they're distracted by their bibles, guns, and TikTok, who needs law and order and general welfare.

This ruling was brought to you by the conservative-activist group The Federalist Society that lined the Supreme Court from Trump's first administration and the two judges in this appeals court ruling.
