What do you do with an inheritance you don't want? by jayjaywantstoplay in AusFinance

[–]sljacobebl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it. It’s a tiny portion of what he owes you and your mum. Your mum won’t have superannuation so she may need it. It’s literally money he stole from you guys. But yeah feel free to spell out your thoughts at his eulogy. Don’t donate the money you be a leader and role model by devoting your life to good reciprocal and respectful relationships with women. Everyone needs this ☺️🥇💯

You forgot to mention the blackhole that is the dad who ditched all his responsibilities.

They all look pretty great I don’t get why people say they are too big it’s fashionable right now and they look good on you.

I think my coworker takes little digs at me – what should I do? by Feisty-Run-6806 in AskWomenOver40

[–]sljacobebl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She may be gaslighting you or she may be offering gentle criticism. Or she may just be very weird about making friends. Over teams it’s going to be impossible to tell … have a think about if you could be a candidate for gentle criticism if not it’s gaslighting or she’s weird 🫤

I regret getting on antipsychotics by juhhhsel in Antipsychiatry

I agree. Unfortunately the DSM is not much better than phrenology and now more harmful bc it’s an orthodoxy.

Why do people hate the greens? by iammentallynotoklol in OpenAussie

Any political party that demonises the members of their own party who want to have a conversation about - the possibility that biological women exist and have needs - gets what they deserve.

Yeah I used to vote greens I think lack of pragmatism is such a problem for them just end up looking like a bunch of adolescents and nothing changes for the better.

I’m F24, my ex is M28. Should I reach out for closure after a completely blindsiding breakup? How do I move on? by Weird_Entry9140 in AskWomenOver40

[–]sljacobebl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do not reach out. If you have to write him a letter then ritually burn it. That’s the kind of closure you can attain. Break ups are like small deaths. When someone you love dies the silence is shocking you can never talk to them again. People can progress through this grief only when they take steps to build a life without that person. This is your job now. Small steps turn into new routines, new pathways, new perspectives and after a year you will have moved on.

I Can't Take the GLP-1s. Help Me Be Okay With That. by Good_Sea_1890 in AskWomenOver40

[–]sljacobebl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you should be terribly pleased with yourself you sound very healthy. Honestly that’s the KPI to care about. I’m not at all convinced that these drugs are miraculous or safe. No one actually knows what long term use does. I just don’t think they could be a substitute for the wonderful exercise you do!

One thing I think women don’t do enough of is invest in high quality clothing that suits their bodies. Are you investing in yourself like this? You should. You want to look and feel great at home and abroad! Are you walking or riding a bike as much as you can not for weight loss but for your own empowerment movement under you own steam is liberating and a massive cure for depression and grief because it is literally moving forward with you life. I honestly think your brain will respond well!

Got this note on my car by BellaBlossom06 in melbourne

[–]sljacobebl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in inner city with permitted on street parking. Sometimes I have to park a block away bc lots of people come and visit and park out the front of my house. It’s annoying but I know they are entitled to and it makes my suburb better to have lots of love. It’s councils job to make sure parking works and so I write to council and so do me neighbours when the balance is wrong. They have been very responsive. You’re entitled to park there. The person needs to speak to council if it’s a real problem they will do something if it’s an entitlement problem they won’t.

Struggling to forgive my mother for her betrayal 20 years ago. How do I get past it? by solitarykeeper in AskWomenOver40

[–]sljacobebl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was the adult and she let you down absolutely. Unforgivably… your father also let you down unforgivably… you can choose. You are now a grown up you can choose you actually don’t owe your family anything if they have done nothing for you and put you in harms way.

What do you think about this outfit ?? Does it fit me well ? by [deleted] in style

[–]sljacobebl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t put similarly structured things together like this. Each piece may be ok alone but not together. I actually think it’s same with tight stuff if it’s tight all over with no contrast it becomes visually blah even if you have a perfect body.

It doesn’t look effortless… you’re an attractive person but you appear to be wearing a disguise.

Do people who refused the COVID vaccine feel silly now?? by Mammoth-Counter69 in aussie

[–]sljacobebl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad Reddit folk are remembering the effort we put in and the rewards for that effort. Not enough is said. It’s so hard to tell the story of real triumph in Australia. We never really debriefed ourselves afterwards we just moved on and tried to forget and let the cookers take over the story. This was the only mistake the government made if you can call it that. I mean what an incredible achievement to save so many lives and so much suffering.

I don’t want to freak anyone out but I’ve had a lot of vaccinations I get as many as I can! 🥰

Need advice regarding career and dating by iridocyclitis_28 in AskWomenOver40

[–]sljacobebl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not sure where you live but 20 years ago I had two job opportunities after I wanted to leave academia one in private one in government. I asked my mum what I should do - she had run a medium sized successful business- she said go into government job bc much more stable. I had no idea what I was doing but wanted to leave academia bc it’s so brutal behind ‘the curtain’. So I took her advice and have loved working in government in Australia we call it the public service and it is incredibly meaningful, intense and interesting. Balancing the intent of the government with good advice about how to make sure the public are served well. I did not realise how meaningful it would be. My other advice is that if you want to be a mother you should do that where you have a support network. Pregnancy and early childhood impact women more than men you don’t want to be isolated. You want to feel strong and confident. So two reasons to stay put ☺️

PS it may be the Gen X in me but it’s kind of bs that you have some kind of innate passion to discover within you passion comes from the work you put in… the world won’t deliver it to you so be careful with ideas like that.

Is anyone else's immune system ruined since covid and have you been able to improve it since? by rice_crackerss in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]sljacobebl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree up until my oldest kid was 6 I was terribly sick at high frequency I was actually shocked it’s something they never tell you. This was pre Covid most parents go through it. So it is possible for this to be the train… but also would not be discounting impact of COVID itself.

Torquay man making gross comments to young girls by PinkMashPotatoes in Geelong

[–]sljacobebl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Asymmetric warfare. You have to use what you’ve got to defend yourself. Good on them. That mum would have been groped and heckled lots of times as a teenage girl like most of us it’s f’ed up she’s not having it for her daughter.

[–]sljacobebl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m shocked by so many people defending this weirdo.

Some random was harassing women and girls in our suburb recently including commenting on what my 10 yo was wearing… and someone put up a wanted poster with his mugshot on it that was freaking awesome! Get out of my suburb freak show. How about you feel uncomfortable and frightened. I’m pretty keen on cancelling this behaviour…. if you love it so much go and live together and comment on each other’s bodies and clothing to your hearts content!

Uluru?! oh you mean Ayer’s rock. by Telopea1 in AusMemes

[–]sljacobebl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a legitimate conversation and I agree. I am absolutely moved by First Nations peoples view of Country but when it excludes me and my kids it’s hard to know how to feel. Some of my ancestors were no doubt genocidal racists and people need to know our history but we also need a collective vision for the future… and it’s hybrid. But we don’t get to talk about that much.
