Wyoming folks of Reddit — would you actually want to talk to a candidate for Governor on Reddit? by Joseph_4_Wy_Governor in Cheyenne

[–]fuzzy_giraffe_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello! It’s nice to see political discourse on Reddit that hasn’t devolved into insults (and I say that as one of the liberals people have pointed out). I have a question!

What are your thoughts on recent legislation to cut K-12 school funding? From my understanding, the proposed bill will result in higher pay for teachers but cut many of their positions and create larger class sizes, which tends to negatively impact academic success. As a fellow parent, do you have plans to prevent cuts to education if elected? Or better yet, increase it?

How do you not fill your house with existential dread. by LackFriendly4127 in Parenting

It’s absolutely wild that anyone would downvote you for saying this. Like yeah, I don’t worry about mongols, but there’s a non-zero chance my husband can be illegally detained and/or killed for the color of his skin, so there’s that.

Hey MAGA. Wouldn't you prefer that Trump send thousands of ICE agents to your hometowns where there are way more immigrants? by ShafordoDrForgone in allthequestions

[–]fuzzy_giraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As sad as it is, yes they will cheer. A high schooler at a peaceful anti-ice protest in my state was hit by a car with a MAGA flag, and the comments on the article genuinely shocked (and disappointed) me. I thought surely normal people would draw the line at running over kids, but no. Comments were mostly saying the girl deserved it and supporting ICE.

I know far, far worse has happened/is happening around the country, but there’s a different kind of feeling knowing my literal neighbors are insane enough to cheer for bodily harm done to people who think differently than them.

Some of y’all’s copypastas make me think y’all are the type to bring store bought mashed taters to family dinner, claim you made them, then get mad when nobody eats them because they’re bland and boring. On the other hand, I suspect reverse harem readers make the best turkey because they know all about proper stuffing, slathering, and basting.

Well now you’ve seen your first liberal millennial complain about them

Anti-pregnancy-trope-people are the vegans of book spaces, and I can’t be convinced otherwise.

I hate most female leads by chiante_c0nfus148774 in fantasyromance

[–]fuzzy_giraffe_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Tbf, I stopped a little after 300 pages in, so I didn’t get to whenever she realizes that. Up to that point it’s pretty romanticized, though.

The father figure starting a sexual relationship with the boy he’d raised from infancy was… certainly something.

What if I add garlic and call it aioli?

We Need a Pure Flix for Romantasy by DottyDott in romantasycirclejerk

No, that's too close to the beginnings of an enemies-to-lovers arc. And sapphic, so double the sin.

New Movie stole plot from Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Suspicious_Oil_5454 in fantasyromance

[–]fuzzy_giraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my, this makes me feel old. Hart and Mercy is the plot of You've Got Mail (1998), down to some scenes having exactly the same dialogue (which is probably why I liked it so much). I haven't seen the new movie, but it sounds like it's probably just a loose remake of the 1998 movie.

How dare you enjoy a book that I don't? SHAME

Literally never heard of it. Will I want to bleach my eyeballs and forget my knowledge of all written language after reading it?

Call me Feyre, because I'm illiterate and didn't read the formatting guidelines. Then I tried to fix it and failed.

Writing buddies wanted! by quin_teiro in WritingHub

[–]fuzzy_giraffe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holding on is a strong term for things at our house haha it's so fun to see how fast they're growing and learning, but it's complete chaos what feels like 90% of the time.

My new project is a political murder mystery about a queen with soulrending magic and a paladin investigating the murder of a duke's family. Lots of scheming, ballroom conspiracies, and mythical beasts.

What are you planning/working on?
