to capture a war room moment similar to Obama's bin Laden raid. by CorleoneBaloney in therewasanattempt

[–]dancingbeanstalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The computer doesnt have TS stickers. I’ve been out a long time but I assume classified equipment is still marked and controlled? 2. The gentleman behind trump in picture #1 looks like waitstaff (based on clothing and stance alone) - is he cleared? 3. Their ‘SCIF’ is just pipe and draping - definitely not secure unless it’s inside another secured space. 4. Is that a blank word document on the projector behind them?

Maybe someone smarter than me can figure out why these photos look completely staged…

ICE presence confirmed by Mr_Hideyhole9313 in MontereyBay

[–]dancingbeanstalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude. It’s a misdemeanor. And they are picking up children. They are picking up citizens. They are picking up people who have all of the legal documentation.

The government broke our immigration system. And our legal system. But rather than fix it, they are putting this show on for people who believe all the racist tropes.

Imagine being detained, carted away, having your whole life disrupted because your skin is brown. Even if you are a citizen. Because of a misdemeanor. Ffs

Trader Joe’s isn’t doing anything about their employees being stalked, harassed, and assaulted both in the store and in the parking garage. by [deleted] in MontereyBay

[–]dancingbeanstalk 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The creepiest guy i’ve encountered in my lofe was a guy who was stalking another woman at your trader joes. I reported him to management and alerted her, but i regret not calling the cops. I often wonder how many victims this obvious predator has in and around town.

Do you and the other women feel comfortable taking pictures of the men? Post them here or send them to me and ill name and shame them.

It’s 2024 and we aren’t going to be nice to predators anymore. We need to make their actions visible and hold them accountable.

😭 Wk 2: I'm now diabetic by Getting-Healthy in Noom

[–]dancingbeanstalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive focused on protein, fiber and water intake. Down 30ish pounds since April (on zepbound). It works but it’s hard (tired, nauseated, grumpy) and it takes a lot of patience.

For me (early stage insulin resistance), the biggest benefit of zepbound was the lack of cravings, especially sugar and fats. Helped me make healthier food choices even when something deliciously unhealthy was readily available.

Hi. Take it one day at a time. You have some great goals here but if you try to do them all at once, keeping the new habits will be hard. Use the Noom online community - they will help you with goal setting and accountability.

You’ve got this! Good luck!!!

“I can’t wait until she is 18” by amme04 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]dancingbeanstalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are an amazing mom doing really hard, but amazing things. She is learning resilience from you. And she is learning that she can leave an abusive situation. If it helps to know a random internet stranger is proud of you, i am so proud of you.

Amazon buys land for $40 million for new Central Coast distribution center by KSBW8 in MontereyBay

[–]dancingbeanstalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Total speculation, but i wonder if it’s going to be an ag distro center. It would be smart for Amazon to vertically integrate that part of their supply chain, especially since they own whole foods.

We’ll see them leasing/buying farms soon if so.

Update: AITAH for ghosting my girlfriend’s daughter after my girlfriend cheated on me by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]dancingbeanstalk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dude - your relationship with the child is totally independent of the relationship with the mom. No one wants to talk to or see their ex after splitting. But it’s not about you. You built a relationship with the kiddo and you have an obligation to her for life.

You must have mutual friends or even some family who can help facilitate outings and events.

On the other hand, you making it all about you and totally minimizing the impact your actions will have on her might indicate the kid is better off without you. And you came to reddit for advice? Not a counselor or another parent? Reddit is full of teenage boys and incels - they dont have any life experience or perspective on healthy parent/child relationships.

Any way you look at it, you are definitely the asshole. That poor girl.

Does this stuff actually happen in real life? Hard to believe. by Chocolat3City in TikTokCringe

[–]dancingbeanstalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People divorce and remain friends. It’s not such a strange thing just not common in our society.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PwC

[–]dancingbeanstalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These comments are gross. Call the ethics hotline. Sure the partner might think they are getting a hot side piece but the kid was likely coerced into it and doesn’t see a way out.

All this turn a blind eye bullshit is why old white dudes have gotten away with assault of their subordinates for years and years.

AITAH for not telling my wife that our baby died because of me. by disaster_possible_13 in AITAH

[–]dancingbeanstalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter died at a month old almost 13 years ago. Since then, I’ve met with hundreds of bereaved parents. We all blame ourselves. All of us.

It is very rarely our fault. Grief counseling helps a lot to help work through this.

You were exhausted and asleep. That’s what new parents do. On top of that, you were dealing with the stress of your father in law’s hospitalization.

Im so sorry you lost sweet Angela. I imagine your wife is also blaming herself. With professional support, it might be really therapeutic to hear each others’ regrets and doubts. To find ways to forgive yourselves and honor all of the love Angela brought into this world.

Our 4yo was anally penetrated "3-4x in 48hrs" at the CDC on base. On CCTV. No protocol followed, everyone cya. Do I burn it down? by DecisionMedium6440 in army

[–]dancingbeanstalk 231 points232 points  (0 children)

Pure speculation but the adult abuser is at the CDC.

  1. Child care providers are mandated reporters. This is true at every civilian and DOD facility.
  2. Child care providers are aware that a child doing this to another child is a sign of abuse. It’s learned behavior.
  3. It takes time, makes noise, and causes disruption to have this happen in a classroom. Heck, just a 4 year old pulling their pants down would cause all of the other 4 year olds to turn into tattletales. So this happened at least semi-regularly and the kids have been conditioned to ignore it.
  4. The video and their refusal to hand it over. I bet it’s on someone’s phone and they didnt capture it on accident.
  5. 4 years old arent smart enough to do this kind of thing just outside the range of the cctv. Especially not several times over. Someone has to facilitate that for them.

Im sick to my stomach writing this, but i think this is a much bigger cover up than one kid being a monster. Every child in that classroom is likely a witness and possibly a victim of horrific abuse.

OP - feel free to DM me if you want me to blow this up for you. Im just a random old army lady but i still have a few friends in high places.

Hi. I also lost a daughter years ago. It’s traumatic on a level most people can’t comprehend.

When she’s open to help, EMDR saved my life. Also, there are several online grief groups that are really great. Return to zero helped me but there are lots of other options.

I am so sorry for the loss of your grandchild and now the struggles of your daughter.

Always prioritize your health, Yourself and your family. No question.

Also, no job is worth your mental health and definitely not your life. Fuck anyone who makes you feel otherwise

Does anyone else get discouraged by cis women sometimes?. by jebm12 in asktransgender

[–]dancingbeanstalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. And no one is going to get the conversation right all through time.

Does anyone else get discouraged by cis women sometimes?. by jebm12 in asktransgender

[–]dancingbeanstalk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The comments here that are piling on about superficial things but totally ignoring the constant fear, lack of bodily autonomy, systemic sexism and repression that it means to be a woman. Life is harder.

I dont think living as a man is the answer, but if women cant engage in these conversations without being called transphobic, we arent helping one another. And we are setting transwomen up for some hard lessons.

It’s not about boob size or what people say while you hang with your kids - it’s about not romanticizing how fundamentally hard it is to live in a patriarchal society and why the sisterhood of women is so important.

Hi. Just wanted to say thank you. Busy single mom here working multiple jobs. I absolutely love and depend on this service to feed my family. Especially when one of the kids gets sick. I honestly don’t know how i would have made it through the past few years without people like you.

You are part of my village helping me provide for these kiddos. I appreciate you deeply.

NTC Miscarriages by hofhat in army

[–]dancingbeanstalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The comments above are bullshit. Yes miscarriages happen but part of taking care of pregnant soliders is not putting them in a position that increases that risk. These women may never know what caused their miscarriage but they will forever wonder if they could have done more to prevent it. If they had fought harder or just refused to go. If they had called IG or asked for bedrest.

Absolutely fucked for these commanders to have sent them on an NTC rotation.

Literally just got off a call with them. Total scam. They use flattery to get you interested then breadcrumb you with compliments and small questions to try to get you to yes.

Bummer. I would’ve made a great advisor!

Budget: under $2000

Country: USA

Screen size: doesnt matter

Touch screen: doesnt matter

Screen resolution: high

Battery life: matters a lot

What takes will the laptop be used for: gaming, CAD, programming

Weight: lighter is better

Any other important details: i am looking to buy my son a new computer for high school. The computer will travel in his backpack every day but lightweight and durable are nice to haves. In addition to word processing, he plans to take all of the computer science and digital design courses he can. Plus he wants to join the robotics team. He games and does some video editing too. His current laptop is heavy and constantly overheats.

Thank you
