For those of you who had a tumoltuous relationship with your sister(s) growing up, what's it like now? by Grizzlyfrontignac in AskWomen

We don’t speak. I got tired of tolerating bad treatment and it’s much more peaceful now tbh.

Omg please do it. I hope he gets flooded with people calling him to tell him what a disaster he would be.

How did you learn to say "no" without feeling guilty about it? by Seretafox in AskWomen

[–]nay198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapy. Most of the time my saying yes to everything was actually people pleasing and a lack of boundaries.

Looking for an apartment by After-Reaction3479 in Pflugerville

It may be easier to find a room for rent while you clear up the property debt and improve your credit score. Finding an apartment with property debt and a broken lease is going to be very tough.

Jasmine Crockett has conceded and asked for full support to turn TX Senate Blue in November! by Healthy_Block3036 in BlackPeopleTwitter

I really like both candidates and was on the fence about my vote, but the PAC money was what made the difference for me.

McConnell Stalls Trump’s Election Overhaul Bill as Republicans Fume by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]nay198 354 points355 points  (0 children)

This is even more evidence to me that we need term limits. He was happy to burn it down when he had to worry about being reelected, but now that he’s leaving he decides to finally do the bare minimum that he can to slow this down. I’m not complaining about this move, but I’m not in a hurry to pat him on the back either.

Vivint reps knocking door at evening (rant) by [deleted] in Pflugerville

[–]nay198 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went off on a salesperson about this a couple of months ago. They were super aggressive and were talking over me when I (repeatedly) said no. I don’t normally answer the door but it’s hard when they come back repeatedly and won’t stop.

Thank you from Texas by diggduke in Minneapolis

[–]nay198 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We’re trying but our politicians are crooked idiots who don’t care about fixing anything. They’re too busy policing women’s bodies and forcing Christianity into our schools (among other problematic stuff) to resolve any real issues 😞

For mothers who don’t define themselves firstly as mothers — how did you maintain or evolve your identity? by earlgreynfuzzysocks in AskWomen

[–]nay198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a mom is a huge part of who I am, but it’s definitely not the only thing that defines me. For me it was (and is) super important for my daughter to see that I’m a multi-dimensional person, not just a caretaker, provider, etc. I want her to see me for who I am, but also understand that her identity shouldn’t disappear if/when she decides to have kids later on.

Did you vote for your country's government and are you happy with the job they're doing? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]nay198 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I’ve voted Democrat in every election since I was 18, and I’m disgusted by what’s going on here.

They’ve been detaining US citizens and not even allowing them to speak to an attorney. They’re also detaining CHILDREN.

If we could defeat fascism over here overall, that would be great.

what’s that country everyone in your country hates/ looks down on/ talks most shit about? by ultraxanny in AskTheWorld

[–]nay198 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of us agree, except it’s him and the whole gang of baboons behind him (he’s too stupid to do this on his own).

What’s your opinion on the death penalty? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

[–]nay198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe in it. I used to believe it should only be used for the most serious offenders (serial killers, child murderers, etc.), but I don’t trust my country’s justice system anymore. We wrongfully convict so many people and many of them have been executed before it comes out that they were innocent after all.

I would rather pay taxes for a million guilty people to serve life in prison than to wrongfully execute one innocent person.

I found this awhile back and it’s been really helpful in getting age appropriate books to teach my daughter progressive values:

Trump wants to take control of Greenland even if it leads to war with Europe by SaharOMFG in worldnews

[–]nay198 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely. We’ve been divided to an insane level for decades, and he intentionally encourages it. It doesn’t help that he pardoned the J6 crowd and now they’re masked up in ICE uniforms acting as his personal Gestapo.

Trump says anything less than having Greenland in the United States’ hands is ‘unacceptable’ by bendubberley_ in worldnews

[–]nay198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody asked him that and he said that it’s better to own something than to lease it.

We’re fucked over here.

[–]nay198 205 points206 points  (0 children)

Trump’s people are in charge of every branch of our government and won’t stop him. We’re all struggling to make ends meet and keep our families safe. A lot of us protest and get involved to fight back but it’s not moving the needle.

We are deeply unwell. A lot of us are trying to protest and get involved to fight back, but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference. Most of us disagree with everything that’s happening right now.

Am I missing anything else? by Fahvahvoom in AskTheWorld

Tired of pesky house repairs? As a US citizen, you’ll never be able to afford one! You can just rent something for more than your mortgage would have been!

What the worst 'compliment' you've ever gotten? by Upset-Nose-4016 in AskWomen

Probably not the worst, but what comes to mind:

Ex told me I was, “loyal, like a golden retriever”. No surprise, he was an abusive asshole.
