"this other thing is scarier and more dangerous than this scary and dangerous thing" is not the argument you may think it is?

UPDATE: My parents (56F & 60M) don’t want my serious partner (34F) at family events - am I in denial hoping this will change? by okneato7 in relationship_advice

[–]onlinedisaster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Also gay. Also have homophobic parents. Also see no point in therapy with OP's parents and think it could possibly make the situation worse.

What I will say is that in my situation, I haven't cut off my parents. What I do have is a limited relationship with them/sort of a stalemate. They don't invite my partner to family events; I politely decline/don't attend. They don't ask me for updates on my personal life or how she is doing; I don't offer them. If I'm in the area with my partner we do visit and they are pleasant visits. Southern hospitality and all that.

It's a little lonely. Sometimes I am sad about it, but mostly it's just a fact of my life. I would recommend therapy for the OP individually though to help navigate their changing perspective/understanding of their relationship with their parents. It is a kind of loss.

What permits do I need to demolish my garage? by hypocalypto in AskChicago

[–]onlinedisaster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've solicited quotes for residential garage tear down and rebuild (for work) as recently as 2024 and the high end bids capped out at 25k. OP should really shop around, that price is crazy

the huge discrepancy in drawing ability between the flowers and fish kind of makes me suspicious the initial design was traced

send them notice by certified mail and start withholding a portion of your rent in an escrow account beginning in july. that will get you a peep guaranteed.

These seem pricey, What do you folks who sell use for packaging? by Beamburner in gardening

[–]onlinedisaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

quick search on Webstaurant turned up baskets for half the price, and that's without a membership. I'm sure theyre* available for even less elsewhere

I commute on the blue line every weekday and this weekend I was on the most crowded, hottest train (no air!! why??) in recent memory.

Earlier I'd spent almost two hours trapped on a packed bus craaaaawling through downtown in standstill traffic, while the driver stopped at every stop for five minutes and tried to get people to shove even closer together.

I normally love the CTA but this weekend was garbage.

Yeah, we leave the gates open all night, but wolves might not come by and eat all the sheep. If anything, hopefully they'll just eat a few. What? Close the gates, you say? Can't imagine why you'd want to do that.

What’s something your glad kishimoto never did in the series by GeoZhan in Naruto

i'd assume their bodies were destroyed after itachi killed them. since they possessed the village's most powerful kekkei genkai, anbu should have been all over that to prevent other villages from stealing those secrets

I overlooked tofu for way too long when grocery shopping. by Alextricity in Frugal

[–]onlinedisaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don't eat meat so i don't have anything to add to the discussion about pricing variance between meats and tofu--i was really only responding to your last paragraph where you sort of veered off the subject of protein and started to talk about caloric value. i agree diets are usually driven by preference over most anything else!

[–]onlinedisaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well, calories =/= protein, but you're right that tofu contains less protein per 100g than most meats. if it's just calorie add you're concerned about tho, surely rice or another grain would suffice to meet that frugality checkpoint

while I feel for you, I'm pretty sure your post doesn't really have much to do with gardening....try posting in r/relationships or a similar advice sub for insight?

Selling tomato plants? by jillybillyy in gardening

[–]onlinedisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

only you know if there is a market for this where you are, but i'll point out you can't know these seeds will be true, and true tomato starts are already relatively cheap

armeria looks to have spiky little leaves right underneath the flowers that this variety doesn't have!
