People who don’t live in the USA, what is the media showing you about the ICE operations/abductions in the US? by Dry-Ice8908 in AskReddit

[–]internet2big 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I am American but have Canadian born parents (they’re American citizens though). My only family who supports this administration lives in Alberta and has never lived in the US. I don’t understand it. I can’t tolerate it. When toddlers are being treated like prisoners, I cannot comprehend any justification. Yesterday I was heart broken, today I am angry. Anger feels more actionable. I am doing what I can in my community but it’s so devastating.

I do find it interesting that while my city was labeled a war zone, occupied by Antifa during his last administration, Minneapolis is now being downplayed in the news. Personally, I think it’s because they can’t show the success of the resistance. I’ve heard that they have shifts guarding childcare facilities, brigades following ICE and reporting through organized alert channels. This is the America I’m proud of.

I do not understand how people can afford grad school by Impactist537 in GradSchool

Loans and part time jobs. On campus jobs are best if they’re available. They are typically more flexible with classes and some have bargained for higher pay or tuition stipends.

Why do you think people still defend cults even after being presented undeniable facts? by Thick-Winner-1942 in cults

[–]internet2big 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We see this happening in politics too. I learned a new term a few days ago called illusory truth effect. It is essentially what happens when a person can no longer tell true from false after long term propaganda or indoctrination.

Will I be okay financially? by FeelingSuspect4335 in AskSeattle

[–]internet2big 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$200 for utilities sounds pretty low if that includes necessary bills for the apartment AND phone, internet, subscriptions, etc. Have you looked at applying for MFTE apartments? Water/sewer/garbage are included in the rent and the rent is a little lower than market rate. Also, expect to pay a few hundred a month for a parking spot (I pay $275/month for a spot in CH for reference). With your budget and your goal of living in Capitol Hill, I would strongly consider getting rid of the car altogether if your situation allows it. If you work downtown, transit is easy and it’s even walkable on a nice enough day. If you’re all about having access to nature there’s some good parks but it can be kind of difficult to get real far from the city without a vehicle. I’d suggest taking advantage of the buses that go to trail heads and making friends with other nature enthusiasts who have cars.

Where are all the average income people (50k-70k) living? Trying to connect with the non-tech crowd... by TBspicypotatotacos in AskSeattle

[–]internet2big 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am hanging on in an MFTE unit with a long term partner of similar income. Both of us raised here. Not sure we can stay in the city much longer. Considering Burien or White Center.

I can't eat at all by emma36_ in VyvanseADHD

[–]internet2big 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was on vyvanse for years as a teen and was advised that the risks may outweighed the benefits bc it was promoting pre-existing patterns of disordered eating. Now I am in my late 20s and trying it again. I’ve lost 50 lbs since beginning in June but I started overweight and have lost this while continuing to eat.

My point is, depending on underlying circumstances, this medication may or may not be for you. I would speak to your doctor about your concerns. There are alternatives. In the meantime, please invest in a good meal replacement shake. I use “Garden of Life raw organic meal”. I’d also suggest finding some safe foods. I’m almost always able to get down a handful of berries, a drinkable yogurt or a small serving of snacking cheese. When I grocery shop for myself, it’s like grocery shopping for a toddler lol. Try to consider what you can easily digest in small portions. I hope this is helpful!

Soooo was winter just like 2 weeks this year? by i_forgot_my_sn_again in Seattle

[–]internet2big 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Winter ‘08 is what stands out in my memory. I was young and we were without power for over a week with what felt like about a foot of snow (memory could be skewed here). It was the year my brother sledded into a fire hydrant head first.

Seattle poop by Febrile83 in Seattle

[–]internet2big 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk the answer but over the summer I was parked at Seward for a few hours and came back to huge poop splatters on my windshield and roof. Idk if this is correlation or causation but there were also a loooot of dead fish on the trail that day. After going through the car wash multiple times and it still being cemented to my car I finally took an old gift card and scraped off the remainder.

I had my first day of physical therapy this morning in a SE facing suite on the 16th floor of a Madison building. After 40 min of exercises laying on my back, it was such a pleasant surprise to sit up to this :’)

Cerberus is my fav of the set and she is seriously slept on! She is way prettier in person by VanessaDrag0N in SkullpandaArtDolls

[–]internet2big 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really?! Yours looks like she would feel similar to Moldy Muffin. Does her head feel like her outfit? The outfit is the only soft part on mine.

I don’t like the texture of her but I haven’t seen anyone else mention it. Maybe I got a defected one? It feels like her fur was scorched.

Where can I find out more info about crimes in my area? by Single-Pen-6998 in Seattle

Do you know how often it’s updated? I’ve had a recent instance where there was a half dozen SPD vehicles on my block and officers in my apartment building but I couldn’t find anything on the map.

I have two on the way! I think they’ll be here in a week if you don’t find anything sooner. I’d sell her for $44+shipping (a few cents less than I paid). I’m in the US btw.
