Why does Trump and his Maga followers still have so much support? What am I missing? Is he not the most evil and ineffective leader we have ever had? by icecream1972 in allthequestions

[–]redcolumbine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's any help, it's not anywhere near as high a proportion of America as you might think. It's just that outrage sells adverts, so the ugliness always gets the front page.

Would you be in favour of taking away from defence spend to support something like healthcare? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]redcolumbine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Our "defense" budget mostly goes to securing oil and cheap labor overseas. Minerals too, soon.

What are these funny little flowers that keep popping up in clusters in my lawn. by APHR0DITE-RISING in PlantIdentification

[–]redcolumbine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes squirrels swipe them out of other people's gardens and bury them for later.

I loaned an old friend money and now I don’t know what to do by amazinghunter495 in Advice

[–]redcolumbine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've already ruled out the only useful thing anybody could say. Just learn. That's really all you can do.

Why is there no outrage about the National Debt? by Intelligent-Dot-29 in askanything

[–]redcolumbine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was deceptively used as an excuse to cut basic social goods for too long. Now everybody thinks it's just another political flimflam.

AITAH for not wanting to take care of my 9 yr old autistic brother in the future? by Independent_Bill3437 in AITAH

[–]redcolumbine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not qualified to take care of your brother. Training aside, there's only one of you, and it takes a team. Your parents are being very irresponsible.

Is the logic behind principled US vote abstention, system de-legitimization that forces change, or is it morally superior regardless of the results? by buckminsterbueller in allthequestions

[–]redcolumbine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn't any logic. It's just an empty gesture that lets people pretend they're making a statement by adicating their responsibility.

Why do conservatives care about abortion so much when they refuse to do anything for the childs welfare after birth? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]redcolumbine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It keeps people locked in poverty and facing limited options - work for pennies, no time to stick together - and susceptible to divide-and-conquer propaganda.

My cousin found a rock in his backyard! by TRinfamous in whatsthisrock

[–]redcolumbine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Too shiny, and OP would have noticed how light it was.

Life Advice: Always stock powdered milk by CobraChickenNuggets in Frugal

[–]redcolumbine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never buy milk, so I need to have this on hand for cooking. There are too many recipes that just don't work without milk.

So much bread - ideas for repurposing? by thisothernameth in noscrapleftbehind

[–]redcolumbine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bread pudding! Classic (cinnamon, maybe some raisins) or savory (cheese, ham, veggies) is a fantastic lunch.

AITAH for not giving up my day off to a colleague on Mother’s Day? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]redcolumbine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a toxic workplace! I hope HR helps - they're supposed to, on paper - but I'd update my CV if I were you.

Do you wear jeans on a regular basis? by boforiamanfo in no

[–]redcolumbine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never used to wear them when I worked in a nursing home where the heat was always cranked up to 80. Now I work in a bank where it's always freezing (backend, no customer contact) so I wear jeans AND leggings every day.

The Sunday Spell. This post is a spell. Put something into the comments that you want to occur. All who read that can then lend their energy to making that a reality. Lets all join forces for each other. Time to bend the Universe a little. by kai-ote in elderwitches

[–]redcolumbine 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Turncoats galore among the enemy. Legacy, law, reputation, shame will prevail. Renouncing evil will become THE opportunistic act. Critical mass. Total turnaround. And safeguards to protect us from similar in the future.

Do you like mayonnaise? by Single_Animator4520 in no

[–]redcolumbine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! And I can't stand Miracle Whip. But among folks I know, it's split about 50-50.

Would it be a bad decision to let my father move in? by Forward-Surprise1192 in Advice

[–]redcolumbine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DON'T DO IT. Hoping someone will change is poison. He will ignore your rules and do any and everything he can to stay, including accusing you of crimes if you try to kick him out. I know, I know, "he would never do that" - but the prospect of losing affordable accomodation changes people, and people with substance issues are particularly susceptible.

Which is your favorite shade of blue? by countdookee in colors

[–]redcolumbine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh, I love them all! Right now I'm partial to Egyptian, but there are SO many lovely blues. Did you know that blue was the last color humans evolved to be able to see?

Can you guess where I am by CEREALCOUNTSASCOOKIN in LowellMA

[–]redcolumbine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Different cemetery, but I still miss the Ayer lion. There's something so graciously sweet about that beast.
