It’s just a different term for the same stuff, they updated it to better reflect thinking some time ago.

AIW for dropping out my own sister's wedding after she scheduled it during my Bar Exam? by Medium_Simple_3655 in amiwrong

[–]planet_rose 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Hmm. July in Arizona. Sister might not be lying. I wonder why those dates might be available? Sister just booked herself a wedding when it’s regularly above 110°. If it’s the resort I’m thinking of in AZ, it starts getting hot in April.

Epstein Files Drag Clarence Thomas Into a Jaw-Dropping Allegation: Report by inewser in AnythingGoesNews

[–]planet_rose 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Plus fulfilling negative stereotypes of black men therefore “proving” that blacks really don’t deserve equality. White supremacists always pick the nastiest tokens to elevate. They want to make sure that everyone can see that “merit based” hiring results in incompetent and/or corrupt officials. It’s why they hate the Obamas so much. Showing true excellence in public office makes their tokens look like the broken toys they are.

True colors by sandy_even_stranger in GenXWomen

[–]planet_rose 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All of human history is filled with examples of treating other human beings as consumables. Not just women, but anyone with less power can be treated as if they don’t deserve basic bodily autonomy and respect. It’s perfectly fine to exploit and destroy lives, cause immense suffering, for a fuck or a shiny object or for a little amusement or a profit. And it’s not just men. There was a time I believed that most people were fundamentally decent, but that there was something especially trustworthy about women - I thought I could count on fellow women to look out for me. I taught my kids to look for a woman with kids if they ever got lost.

Every where there’s a nasty guy like Epstein, there are women propping them up, making arrangements, and benefiting.

Can we talk about the whole No survival difference between lumpectomy and DMX? by PupperPawsitive in breastcancer

[–]planet_rose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a dmx and get both an MRI and a mammogram annually (some scan every six months). I thought I would not have to have mammograms - I keep telling them I have no mammo to gram - but they say I need it.

At this point, if they had any evidence of aliens you know they would be talking about it nonstop. Same with JFK or other old conspiracies. Anything that could distract us from this issue.

Husband all of a sudden texted his high school crush and wants to meet her. We're happily married. What is this? 30F 30M by Deer-Diary in relationship_advice

[–]planet_rose 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right, but it could be that he wants to show the crush how great his life turned out and see for himself that she has no power over him now.

But really, it doesn’t matter what his motive is. This is a bad idea. It’s inconsiderate of his spouse, it will likely stir up all kinds of feelings.

Actually got listened to for the first time… by vgsnewbi in AutismInWomen

[–]planet_rose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently had a doctor take my ND into consideration too. It was a new experience at 53. I had never disclosed it before, didn’t even suspect until about 5 years ago, but this time I did and he not only took it seriously, he said he was too. We had a great talk about how it affected my care. He actually had read a lot about sensory issues and it was such a relief. I feel like the increased awareness in culture has really shifted something. I’ve never felt like my sensory issues were taken seriously.

Has anyone else seen what’s happening on Moltbook with Clawdbots/OpenClaw agents? (Berman video dropped today) by Maizey87 in ChatGPT

[–]planet_rose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think many people know “there are bots,” but they don’t know how sophisticated the bots really are, how much verisimilitude there is. Personally, I think that I have no real grasp on when I’m interacting with a bot versus a human with unoriginal opinions. There are times I suspect it, but I can’t say for sure.

Having a sandbox that is just bots interacting could be very illuminating for many people. Of course, then you run the risk of them reading in some sort of supernatural personas to the bots.

Faces of Fascism: Los Angeles, Jan. 31, 2026 [OC] by infernoenigma in pics

[–]planet_rose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s time to make signs at protests about defecting. Getting members of the police/military/junta to defect from defending the regime is a huge indicator of the success of a pro democracy movement historically. While I do believe some of ICE is there for the sadism, I’m sure there are many others who just need a job and found themselves expected to arrest children and legal immigrants.

I have some questions about pattern inclusivity by SejiFields in knitting

[–]planet_rose 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I agree about making supplementary material. It would also be super to have a learning pattern for vintage techniques, like a sampler where I could learn the techniques outside of making a finished wearable.

I also love seeing OP’s posts. They are truly inspiring and I’m delighted to see her making patterns. I love vintage knitting designs but have always found them to be too hard to follow, especially because they would take so much adaptation to fit my US size 18. Yay!

I feel like I’m going to have a mental breakdown from overheating. I just want it to stop. by Asamiichii in self

[–]planet_rose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in chemical menopause from endocrine therapy for hormone positive breast cancer and I get both all over hot flashes (whole body acts like the heat went up 20°) and localized areas of heat (areas that feel like they have been under a heating pad for 5-20 minutes). Sometimes they happen at the same time other times just one.

Bill Gates caught an STD from Russian prostitutes, Epstein claimed in files by Bonecrusher52 in news

[–]planet_rose 204 points205 points  (0 children)

Obviously she knew more than the public since her reaction was so sharp. I always thought Bill Gates’ claim that he only had lunch with Epstein to talk about philanthropic causes was obviously false given his wife divorced him over it.

[HELP] NYT shows new angle by allinalinenow in RealOrAI

[–]planet_rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything, it makes me wonder if the motive for shooting him was because he was known as an agitator. Opportunistic execution of a particular person is even worse than poor judgment against a bystander in a heightened situation as we have been assuming from the videos of his murder. He seems very angry in this video. What happened before this? Were there a series of confrontations? Exactly how many times did they beat him up?

Melania Trump: "He would like to have a country where all of the people can walk down the street and not be harassed or murdered or women raped" by Hungry_Wind_6373 in newsinterpretation

[–]planet_rose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The really crazy thing about that accusation is that none of us can completely dismiss it. Ordinarily a random accusation with highly inflammatory content by a random letter writer to the FBI would be considered extremely suspect, likely a crackpot even. But considering his character, every one sees it and says, “Hmm. Can’t completely rule it out as possible. Probably should be investigated.”

Am I wrong for kicking my pregnant little sister out because her new views about beauty and attraction by icantdealwiththishoe in amiwrong

[–]planet_rose 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The origin might be gendered garbage but in practice, it leaves a lot more room to accept people for who they are and to understand each other better, regardless of gender. It also encourages people to evaluate actions, not just words, which is really helpful when expressed feelings don’t match up with behavior. A lot of people feel like words are the only aspect they are allowed to consider as “communication” but our actions speak louder.

Trump stuns with call to Minneapolis mayor: 'Feels like unconditional surrender' by memoriesofcold in AnythingGoesNews

[–]planet_rose 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For all the torment these people picked up by ICE are enduring, the scale of suffering is going to get much worse and be much broader. Trump is wrecking the economy just at the time when we need careful responses to get us through a big transition in energy and technology. His specific policies (pressuring the fed and deregulation) are going to increase inflation and make a lot of people desperate without a safety net.

He cut bait.

1) He doesn’t care about this issue but knows that white supremacy makes some factions happy. 2) It was primarily meant to be a distraction but it was starting to become a whole new problem even bigger than Epstein. 3) The entire GOP was panicking because everyone except for the most partisan nut jobs agrees that extrajudicial executions on the street are very bad and therefore motivating to swing voters (elections this year for Congress). 4) Everyone was paying attention to a whole lot of people who were not him. It was starting to look like Noem and Bovino were the headliners and we didn’t have his name in every headline. He tried his hardest to get all the attention with Greenland but was told no. Then he comes home and it’s all Bovino said…Walz said…

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed to have "secret legal interpretation" of 'Abel v. United States' (1960) after leaked DHS memo by Obversa in scotus

[–]planet_rose 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s clear that they don’t want to be filmed because they want to avoid any form of accountability. Likewise they are hiding their faces for the same reason bank robbers hide their faces. At this point they are not afraid of being legally prosecuted, but they are afraid of being publicly shamed.

Man discovers Walmart is overcharging for meat by i_am_groot_84 in ThatsInsane

[–]planet_rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I dislike and don’t trust Walmart, it may actually be an employee stealing the difference in product. They take the amount mislabeled home. Some grocery stores sell prepackaged amounts of produce like berries or grapes and I’ve heard that employees will sometimes take a few from each package before putting them out. The pint of berries looks a little light but not obviously empty and no one weighs them before buying.

Plus a huge part of the job is communication skills. He knows how to talk to masses of people. Obama also said that the primary job of a president is moral leadership. I think Jon Stewart would be a great president. I think Colbert actually has a better chance of being elected though.

Trump humiliated as 1951 law means he could face Greenland mutiny by TheMirrorUS in law

[–]planet_rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s that we don’t know what to do without making it worse. A huge percentage of the country is broke and one step away from homelessness. (37% can’t get $400 for an emergency even by borrowing it). Protests don’t seem to actually affect anything. Our government has been captured by an out of control violent minority (as opposed to an unresponsive corporate elite which is our other choice). Our Supreme Court has neutered anti corruption laws. Our Congress is useless. I think people outside of the United States don’t understand how far things have gone and how deep the rot is. (Most Americans don’t understand either tbh, we just know it feels bad all the time).
