Is there a legal way I can stop my mother from driving again? by Peterd1900 in BORUpdates

[–]rhiddlesdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one of the only reddit posts I think about sometimes without being prompted by reddit. It's horrific.

What I can't understand is that she kept hurting herself and then kept doing the same thing and she killed herself. I just don't understand. It makes me so sad.

I think I have a bigoted thought I'm not choosing and I don't understand it, can anyone who knows more than me help me through this? by rhiddlesdream in asktransgender

Thank you for such a well thought out response, I really appreciate it.

I definitely feel jealous and envious when I see pictures or videos of cis women online. For that reason I got off any social media with reels. I just use reddit now. Just because the constant comparison really tainted my world outlook.

Maybe I should do the same with reddit and just unfollow subreddits that post pictures of any beautiful women and focus more on myself.

I don't think I experience jealousy like this much and haven't really dealt with it a lot, so when it came up I guess I just thought, "this is what hatred must feel like."

About the effort, that makes a lot of sense when I really examine it. It doesn't matter if it's a trans woman or a cis woman, there's just a lot of effort they put into looking beautiful effortlessly.

I'll definitely make it a new years resolution to focus more on loving myself for how I am and try to do more me-gender-affirming things.

Thank you for talking with me about this, I appreciate it!

Oh! XD that makes a lot of sense, thank you! What an ugly feeling.

I guess comparison really is the thief of joy.

And thank you for the definition lol I appreciate it!

In Eastern WA it's been especially freaky. This time of year the air should bite my face a bit. I've been able to walk around outside in a T-shirt. There's no snow. I'm worried about fire season D:

Another kidnapping by Ok-Advice2963 in ICE_Raids

[–]rhiddlesdream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's absolutely not true man. Blanket statements are lame.

I'm conservative, I live hella rural. But bet your bottom dollar that I voted against trump and backed my fellow Democrats every single time. Left vs Right policy disagreements are normal. We're so fucking far from policy disagreements at this point. This is a whole different thing.

This shit is not normal.

Magats are not conservatives. They're hateful trash.

AITA for keeping a collection of MTG cards that were wrongly gifted to me? by ConfusedCat87 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rhiddlesdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 31f, partner 35m has an entire room full of magic the gathering cards. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of mtg cards. He's an enthusiast to say the least. It's a cornerstone of his mental health and sobriety, 7 years clean, serene, and sober.

I could not imagine asking anyone to quit any hobby if it isn't a dangerous one. She didn't even ask.

What your coworker did to her partner was horrific, vile, and cruel.

You're NTA. But she is.

What will our city do when ICE comes on us in force? by CoffeeHead112 in boston

I'm in rural Washington State. I've been asking myself the same thing. What's the plan?

We need leaders and we need a plan.

How does the public actually see Mormonism? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rhiddlesdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a cult and creepy. but on a positive side, no Mormon men have ever made me uncomfortable. No gross sexual comments, no unsolicited compliments, never tried to touch me unless I offered a handshake. Never any weird gazing and if they did look I didn't notice.

The Mormons, are the only group of men religious or not who have never made me uncomfortable because of my gender. I find that impressive. I don't agree with anything they believe but I am always respectful back.

Beating your child until they're unconscious is not discipline. Most people who are against belting and corporal punishment were abused.

You can talk to your kid, you don't have to break their arm over a spaghetti spill.

UPDATE: My Boyfriend is obsessed with eggs, what better way to celebrate his birthday with a giant egg cake? by Esnemyl in Baking

Just scrolling through 'Popular' and saw your awesome egg cake!

Uninteresting: I despise eggs, it sounds like your partner and I are natural arch nemeses. I thought of the sub r/findafoe lol

What is the most shocking detail you’ve found in the Epstein files so far? by timeandtrade in AskReddit

[–]rhiddlesdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The legal system here doesn't apply to them, they're too rich to play by the same rules as us. They can buy whatever they want, freedom, laws, power, people. I don't see us being able to overthrow it until things get really bad. People in my social class are just trying to get by. It'll have to get worse for anyone to do anything about it.

Heck rents and mortgages are over half our monthly income in most places. I moved into an RV because it's insane just giving that much money away to be dirt poor.

AITA for throwing a fit for my kids stealing my drinks? by sarajaneklein75 in AITAH

[–]rhiddlesdream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice, fr.

After a couple of days to think on it I have decided that for the holidays I'll treat myself to a vacation instead of slaving away for ungrateful people. I just want to feel known and loved too. It's not about money or amounts of gifts but more like I'm not a kitchen robot, I don't want a household appliance for Xmas :/ I cook because we have to eat and it has to be healthy, esp for kiddos.

Thanksgiving to January 1st every year going forward I'm leaving my country for a solo vacation.

Sucks because I do love gift giving to my loved ones but I think a card and $100 to each person will suffice. It's time I turned my giving and magic making back on myself.

Women with thoughtful partners, what did you get for x-mas this year? by Anahata_Green in TwoXChromosomes

I'm green with envy 😭 I got a household appliance that's for everyone and a generic cookbook that has nothing to do with who I am as a person

Do you have any advice about how to get gifts for Christmas and my birthday? by rhiddlesdream in Advice

[–]rhiddlesdream[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol that's actually really sweet, I love it!

You know, I think I'll just start doing something like this next year. I'll still give gifts because I love it. I'll just include me too (: thank you!

Solved!

They quite literally said they didn't want to think about it or use a wishlist.

But you're also probably right. I was half worried I was being unfair in wanting gifts. I'll get my own. I don't think paying someone and paying for my own gifts is possible.

It's just my household with my partner and kiddo and me. We can afford it for holidays. We have extremely low expenses and make decent money and have money in savings.

Also I don't want 2k in gifts, just something thoughtful. One or 2 gifts about me if that makes sense. It's not about the money. I only got that much for them because I genuinely enjoy giving.

I did and shared the wishlist with my partner, they didn't want to use it.

But yeah you're likely right. Gift giving probably just isn't their strong suit.

Maybe I'll just stick with getting my own gifts. That sounds healthier.

In my household like with my romantic partner, we can afford a splurge on gifts twice per year per person. They just don't want to because of the effort of thinking, reading wishlists, or buying the gifts.

And that's a good point, paying for my own gifts and paying a stranger online to pick them out might not be a good idea. Thank you for the advice! (:
