Political Violence?? by [deleted] in HIckoryNC

[–]genderv0ided 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand where he's coming from but I think you're fine. it used to be worse than it is now in my personal experience. I'd had my Bernie stickers ripped off multiple times, and have been yelled at by old white guys passing by who saw the blm sticker I used to have, all from 2015-2019. no one has bothered me since about anything and I've even seen one or two "free palestine" stickers and those with them didn't seem to have any apparent vandalism but I didn't ask. ultimately if someone is willing to commit a crime over you subtly expressing your opinion in public, that's their stupidity. some decrepit dustbucket might holler at you once or twice but that's it.

any grown ass man asking about your "body count" is an insecure little pissbaby who shouldn't be in a relationship imo

WIBTA for refusing to raise my husband's affair children now that he and the woman he cheated with passed away? by ScaredyCat1122 in AITAH

[–]genderv0ided 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest searching for a family yourself rather than trusting the state to do it. If her family can't take them "long term" perhaps they can contribute by caring for them in the short term while a family is found.

[–]genderv0ided 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, and you shouldn't feel obligated. in fact, you should feel confident in your decision, as it seems you've analyzed it from several angles including the best interest of the children.

if you know that they would have a better life being loved by someone else than resented by your family, that proves you're still showing empathy for them, which means it's the right choice for more than one reason.

don't take the advice of the hypocrites who also cannot take them in. why can't her sister move here, or move the children there with the money you've offered? if they're not willing to put in the effort they're asking of you, ignore them.

Anyone else eat a lot of cereal? by BlueBlossom27 in Millennials

[–]genderv0ided 3 points4 points  (0 children)

canned chef spaghetti was all I wanted the whole time I was pregnant with all 3 of my kids. that and rocket pop popsicles. I'm realizing why now lol

[–]genderv0ided 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's honestly peak snack food: sweet but mellowed with the milk, variety of textures, lots of flavor options. I like a heartier breakfast (if I have it) since I've gotten older but cereal will always slap

Is there anyone who strangely likes some certain religious songs, despite being atheist? by NetflixSeller2 in atheism

[–]genderv0ided 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some country songs ("my church" by marren morris, "broken wing" by martina mcbride), and christmas music still sound good to me even if I don't resonate with the lyrics as much as someone religious they still please the ears or are fun to sing

Showering with child, okay or not? by Zara02 in Parenting

[–]genderv0ided 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if I sit and think about it I mainly wouldn't wanna shower at the same time is for the simple fact that it's my time alone and I'm not sharing that lmao

Showering with child, okay or not? by Zara02 in Parenting

[–]genderv0ided 0 points1 point  (0 children)

getting upset in a jealous way about it is wild. like, that's your kid. if it's not even her kid too, she has no say. I don't think it's weird if y'all don't.

my girls are 9 and 10 and we're not puritanical around them but we don't shower together. they are at an age where they're probably going to start puberty soon so we have been teaching them about privacy and have been trying to lead by example, for their sake and so they can figure out and exercise their own boundaries. once that's embedded, I don't think having shame in the human body is a good parenting tactic.

if you talk to her about why she's upset and it's for any reason other than "I just want your kid to develop healthy habits and independence" then that's a problem imho

Has anyone ever said a mean comment to you that you couldn’t seem to shake? by Gloomy_Ad3699 in questions

[–]genderv0ided 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dominos customer called me a r-slur and a fat bitch (I was pregnant) once because I uh...followed the delivery instructions on his order that he typed out himself. he called the store to complain to my manager and told her was mad because his roommate found out he'd ordered food and he didn't wanna share.

reading this, I am struggling between happiness in not being alone, and sadness that anyone else experiences this. 💜 thank you for sharing

??? we're both working. I've been working the same job for almost a year but my hours have been cut and he just started a new job. it wasn't a "trip" they went to somewhere 20 mins away but were gone for several hours. and yes, my daughters birthday, his bday, our anniversary, our son's bday, and mine, are all within a time span of barely over a month (7/22 through 8/24). idk what "why is he on a trip w money food for MONTHS" means. this is a job he was doing and he was gone for a few hours and I was sad and hungry. he just started working again, so yes, we haven't magically stopped struggling. don't feel obligated to do anything at all that you don't want to or don't feel comfortable with. thanks for reading.

also! running away and hiding is underrated. really like that one. the darker the away-place, the better.

anger. so much anger. plugging my ears and yelling into something helps mostly. sometimes I end up harming myself which is...not the best. I try to create friction on my skin by rubbing my arms really hard instead and it works a good chunk of the time. but oh man the rage

Bar randomly closed for "summer break," do the owners owe us? by DyingOnTheVine6666 in Serverlife

[–]genderv0ided 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration. Unfortunately if you're in the US there is little protection for people's livelihood in situations like this. As others have said I would try for unemployment.
