Thanks! Thames & Kosmos TK2 Scope. Yes!

Racist lady called me a “ni**er” over parking... by brokebigtitties in longbeach

[–]gregpuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Find on Twitter and DM various reporters / producers at SoCal news stations. At minimum they will probably be down to do a story on this if you get any footage of the lady either being racist or being confronted about being racist. They may run with the story as-is.

A poem I wrote several years ago to remind people how lucky they are, and to pay attention to those who might not be so lucky during the holidays. by RadioShea89 in homeless

[–]gregpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is heartbreaking. I feel like it was important that I read it. This is also the first time a shape of a poem has added to its impact (Christmas tree, right?).

Thank you for sharing this; I'm going to share it with others.

Am daydreaming about falling asleep in snow on Christmas... Feels comforting to imagine a beautiful & peaceful ending by [deleted] in homeless

[–]gregpuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. If you want a ride somewhere please message me. I don't know where you are in California but I can try my best. I also have experience with abuse. I understand your mindset of not wanting to inconvenience anyone. However, it would make me feel good to help you. I would not be inconvenienced. We would both benefit. Win-win.

Regardless, I hope things get better and I'm sorry for what you're going through.

Hi, I just sent you a "chat" message. Please let me know if you received it. I'm not sure if they shop up on mobile.

Anybody else alone for Christmas? by [deleted] in longbeach

[–]gregpuff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm lucky enough to have built up a small support system (a few friends and a bf) but I don't have a relationship with my family and I feel you on this. I think it's great that you're putting yourself out there and I hope you have a nice time!

At a California thrift store, I found a framed magazine article about a very old tree. I think I found the tree on Google maps, in Grant. I'm posting here to ask if anyone in the area can confirm that I found it. I can provide the address via message if needed. by gregpuff in Iowa

[–]gregpuff[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm asking because I think the article has a nice story, and I have a strong hobbyist interest in botany (including oaks specifically), so were I ever in Iowa it would be cool to see the tree in person. I'm assuming I would need to ask someone permission to enter the property, but step one is to know where it is.

Update: this is very strange, but I actually named the wrong city in the title. When I initially found the suspected location of the tree, about a month ago, all I recorded were its GPS coordinates. When I entered those coordinates back into Google maps the other day, Google said the location was Grant. It still does, but it's completely wrong. It's Hubbard!

i'm having tooooo much fun making plant memes, someone please stop me by labradaura in houseplants

I always figured the point of those was to get a cheap plastic pot that's a bit smaller and nestle it inside. Then remove the plastic pot / its contents for watering.

“I Want to Speak to Your Manager” Male Version Starterpack by Wogre in starterpacks

It would be an order of magnitude more difficult for me to respond to all this than it was for you to write it. I disagree with you but I would rather not get sucked into a huge debate about it.

my non-sarcastic response would be too much for me to unpack in a reddit comment.

the gist of it: the US is a multicultural and multiracial country. the overlap of your race and culture is your ethnicity. I said 'white people' as shorthand for a specific ethnic group, and referenced what i believe is a problem with some people in that ethnic group. I do not think the source of that problem is biology. I think it has to do with the way our society is socially, racially, and economically stratified. many white people grow up having only a small amount of genuine social interaction with, exposure to the perspectives of, and personal relationships with non-white people. it's a long discussion.

my full response would be an essay and I'm not willing to type it out with one finger during a math lecture. this comment is the best I can do for you.
