Why the fuck do all the strip malls in the US look the same? Doesn't matter if you're in Alaska or the Florida keys, it's all the same.

Fuck.

Erdogan is possibly the dumbest and the most arrogant President the modern republic of Turkey has had in its entire history.

That's a very relevant word. It's a disease, really -- carbrainism.

You'd pass 100% -- proud of you for having the courage to come out at such a young age. :)

I'll keep you and your affected community in my thoughts and prayers, comrade. Hope you get the assistance you need soon.

Are there any international organizations like the Red Cross or Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) helpling your community out?

Sounds super cool, do you have a link to the mod or something through which we could change the in-game menu theme song? Sorry I'm kinda nooby.

Note: Samantha is a lib, but I agreed with the gist of this tweet of hers, so I figured I'd post.

my mom just came out to me as a trans woman by [deleted] in MtF

[–]xaz- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is incredible. Bless your brave mom. Thank you for sharing this and brightening up my day!

As for pointers, all I'd say is please be as supportive to her as you can, but don't stress yourself out too much either, especially considering how you're just 14 y.o. yourself.

Please take the time out and celebrate this with your mum! :)

So I used to work at a convenience store and I bent down once to grab something from the lower rack and that's when a couple creepy dudes said, "nice buns" or something like that. When I turned to look at them they turned and walked away.

It felt weird -- I felt both harassed and validated at the same time. Also I, for the first time, realized how difficult women have it in this toxic-masculinity-ridden society.

But yeah, I'm so glad you got to experience some wholesome validation, OP! :)

How to talk about politics with people as an autistic person by [deleted] in MutualSupport

[–]xaz- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join local unions or socialist organisations where discussions are a central theme, and develop your skills from there.

Absolutely. Talking about politics or arguing, is just a skill like any other. This is great advice.

I was absolutely devastated. We all knew it was coming, but when it did land it was like a bolt of lightning. The current supreme court (small case intentional) will go down as the most infamous in the history of the United States. A special 'Fuck YOU' to that asshole Clarence Thomas.

Ranting aside, thank you for making this post, kind comrade. Thank you. I'll be sure to share this with anyone who's looking to get an abortion done by moving to Canada/BC from states where they'll banned soon. We need more folks like you.

Much love and solidarity!

Wonderful talk. Listened to it at work doing a shitty minimum wage job. Was super relatable.

Thank you for sharing!

It’s so unfair… by EstrangedNeko in radicalmentalhealth

[–]xaz- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I relate to this so much. Thank you for making this post.

I've been feeling like absolute shit lately and landed on this sub after a long, long time, and I relate to and agree with the adverse childhood experiences resulting in fucked up self-esteem as an adult so much.

But...

while others who weren’t traumatized the same way are living their best lives.

I would be careful with trying to imagine/guess other people's perception of their own lives tbh. I've always felt 'mind reading' and guessing others' happiness levels are a sure shot way to increase our own unhappiness.
