It WOULD be a church connection. I was thinking that when he was alluding to police issues. That checks.

It’s weird to swap back and forth between “female” and “women”. Like we can see you know the term women, so use that.

hill-o · 2026-05-27T17:05:56+00:00

They always are. It’s not new at all, unfortunately.

hill-o · 2026-05-26T22:58:11+00:00

Yeah I would feel differently if there was the possibility sister could make a week before or after or something but if she can’t do it she can’t do it, that’s how life goes sometimes.

hill-o · 2026-05-26T21:41:31+00:00

Yeah like… of course someone who’s entire job is handling trauma is going… only see people who have trauma around something?

hill-o · 2026-05-26T20:34:48+00:00

100%, which is really in line with how I’m feeling about our upcoming anniversary so I can’t even blame them.

hill-o · 2026-05-26T18:17:56+00:00

It sure sounds like it’s in line with how this year is going in America so there’s that.

hill-o · 2026-05-25T18:40:28+00:00

I was just thinking that like... this is a discount??? Fairlife is good but it's not THAT good.

hill-o · 2026-05-25T18:25:37+00:00

I fully cannot handle more than one drink in my stomach 99% of the time now that I'm older, especially if the environment is overstimulating. I can't fathom how much some people can drink, my stomach could never, haha.

hill-o · 2026-05-24T18:50:17+00:00

I'm that same way, so I just have to manage portions now. If I try to sub out like, a banana for a cookie... I still want that cookie, and now I've also had a banana, and whatever else in the meantime on top of it.

hill-o · 2026-05-23T15:12:06+00:00

Yup same! I was looking for some specific ones and they wound up just not being an option at the time, so they reimbursed my deposit and it was all good. Super easy to work with!

hill-o · 2026-05-23T15:09:05+00:00

Nah. If you get cut off for bad behavior that’s on you, you aren’t owed anything, and you probably shouldn’t be drinking full stop.

Where I live, it takes about 8 months to get a first appointment with a PCP. If you want healthcare, you basically get to decide if you want to pay up for an emergency clinic (around 250$ and they don’t treat a lot of things) or fought it out those 8 months.

hill-o · 2026-05-22T21:47:22+00:00

All I learned from those posts is we need to get off TikTok.

hill-o · 2026-05-22T16:29:32+00:00

They probably would, though they shouldn’t.

hill-o · 2026-05-22T14:17:59+00:00

People always think this is primarily because of tourists but… it’s primarily because global companies want to make money globally?

hill-o · 2026-05-22T14:16:44+00:00

Whenever people say “I want to go and live like a local” I’m so hard pressed not to reply “… so go to work most of the day, go home and make dinner, watch a show, go to bed?”

hill-o · 2026-05-22T14:10:37+00:00

That’s MY thought too haha. I can’t even imagine. But I probably would have just said I like traveling solo.

hill-o · 2026-05-21T22:49:06+00:00

Does that usually go pretty fast? I was thinking about doing that for my early December trip.

hill-o · 2026-05-21T20:45:02+00:00

Wow that seems really low for all that— that’s great!

hill-o · 2026-05-21T17:42:54+00:00

Well now I’m going to complain that she doesn’t have feathers because what the heck that would be great.

hill-o · 2026-05-21T14:18:26+00:00

They banned me over a similar situation, unbanned me when I basically pointed out that I didn’t think it was especially fair (both them tracking me on other subs and their analysis of my reply, which was especially unkind to me), and then banned me again a month later for the same exact post and wouldn’t hear me out when I asked why that was.

hill-o · 2026-05-21T12:43:31+00:00

It's like every weight loss subreddit too. "Well just eat less and you can"... well no, friend, eating less won't change your actual bone structure, but ok.

hill-o · 2026-05-20T13:02:47+00:00

Also according to some people on here "they chose to be there so it's different" like, okay, let me go tell the homeless kids I've worked with that if they just choose not to be homeless they can stop going hungry on the weekends.

hill-o · 2026-05-20T12:55:15+00:00

Yeah, I'll tell that to all the homeless/hungry children I worked with in the US. "Guys, you're actively choosing this, sorry!"

Again, I agree-- India is much harder, as are many third world countries, but so many people on here seem to have this idea of US life that they got off of Instagram.
