When you’re poor, everything smells like whatever’s on sale.

That's right!! For me, it was like whatever I had that was nice. If someone got me a nice shirt, I would protect that shirt and only wear it to special events that I knew would not place the shirt in any danger (physical activity, stains from cooking or painting, etc.). I kind of still do that and have a few shirts that are ~20 years old, a backpack that is 23 years old, and a multi-tool that's about 21 yrs old. Never though that was associated with growing up poor, but it makes sense now.

Yooooo, I needed to hear a few of those. Thank you very much!

Same, but I didn't marry them. I became nearly completely useless. Lost almost all friends, hobbies, work, goals, dreams, and even desire. I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror. Coming back has been incredibly difficult since I didn't trust anyone to guide me nor myself. How do you get somewhere without direction? Lately, I think I'm on the right track, but I will never be my old self and that's okay. My old self got me in that situation, so the new one will be better.

Below are three songs that I found validating during these times. Two are in English and one is in Spanish. If you don't speak Spanish, I would happily translate the lyrics for you; just let me know.

I've heard that people use snow tires. How does that work? Does everyone have 2 sets of wheels at home that they switch with the seasons?

Thanks! I hope it takes off :D

 

They think, "Jesus was cool. I like him, and I'm gonna try to be like him." Kind of like their guiding light is what would Jesus do? But there isn't a focus on identification, recruiting others, judging others based on their religion, fear of God, fear of punishment for sinning, respect for clergy as an authority, rituals, worship, etc. Basically, just the example of Jesus' life.

I'm trying to see what we look like in NT settings from a 3rd person view. Most of the examples I know are shows about autism specifically, but I'm looking for a more natural NT setting type of thing.

Edit: Looking for a normal show in which one of the main characters are autistic, but autism is not the central focus. My brain feels like it's gunked up lately, so having trouble explaining things. Like trying to run in a nightmare. iassgdgdsflsfd

Anyone else feel like that in less than month, we might be remembering the good ol' days?

If Trump wins, who knows how much he will destroy the country. If he loses, he won't calmly accept defeat. Surely, he and his flying monkeys have a plan in place already. They've had 4 years to prepare.

I had uninstalled snap a while ago. This just popped up in my update list on Discover (KDE Neon).

 

Criticizing God is a sin punishable by death. Worship service tomorrow. P(r/l)ay for salvation.

In other terms, West Virginia's 2020 population size was 8.3% of Florida's. As someone that grew up in Florida most of their life, I find that the culture has made a pronounced change since my childhood.

 

I'm really looking for what may have been the driving motivation and reward. The focus is on your personal drive for the interest and what you gained from it.

We can't have meaningful conversations if people are scared to be honest, so please be authentic, forthcoming, and respectful. Conversely, please respond to others with compassion so that users feel safe enough to be vulnerable.

 

Relevant excerpt, emphasis is mine:

Rubio's maternal grandfather, Pedro Victor Garcia, immigrated to the U.S. legally in 1956, but returned to Cuba to find work in 1959. When he fled communist Cuba and returned to the U.S. in 1962 without a visa, he was detained as an undocumented immigrant and an immigration judge ordered him to be deported. Immigration officials reversed their decision later that day, the deportation order was not enforced, and Garcia was given a legal status of "parolee" that allowed him to stay in the U.S. Garcia re-applied for permanent resident status in 1966 following passage of the Cuban Adjustment Act, at which point his residency was approved. Rubio enjoyed a close relationship with his grandfather during his childhood.

Something shady happened, y'all.

 

What are the chances that he stays alive through the following milestones:

  1. Testify on tape
  2. First day of trial
  3. Verdict
  4. Sentencing
  5. Sept 16, 2025 (1-year since arrest)
  6. Sept 16, 2029 (5-year mark)
