It’s a [hug] emote.

There is a singular niche community that I involve myself with where I pop in and make highly desired items to give away for free.

It makes me feel like people care about me for a while. For now, that’s good enough for me.

We love us some garters! Kid loves snakes and is studying before he gets one for himself one day. Thank you!

I put that in the post body. The kid got a lecture about handling strange wildlife.

We have one venomous snake in Michigan, I believe.

I thought that might be it!

Think there’s only one venomous snake in Michigan, and it didn’t look like that, so I figured it was safe. But you never know! Gotta be safe, yeah?

Thank you!

Money and good health insurance. Seriously, it would help me out so dang much.

I have pretty bad PTSD, which has made it near impossible to make real, human connections. If I could get out of my own head, I feel like my life might be able to improve.

I have a house of my own, though. I feel like having your own space contributes a lot to self-improvement and peace, tbh. I am extremely fortunate.

I hope this fucking clown-house leads to laws being passed protecting workers from this kind of shit in the future.

For real, this deep-fried dumpster fuck needs to leave the planet.

I heard that this game is actually pretty good.

I HATE ads with a passion. Even taught my kid from a very young age to put his hands over his ears, look away, and say “la la la!!” until an ad ends.

Once Vanced shut down, I was devastated. ReVanced really saved my experience, though, and I’m so thankful it exists.

That really did put the nail in the coffin for me.

He lied about that. What else will he lie about? How many other innocent people will he accuse of wrong-doing in the future? He’s obviously shown that he is very openly willing to do so.

No thank you.

That’s fucking ghoulish.

— someone who has to do that shit in order to have a stable life where I don’t want to end it all on a daily basis

What feels off about it?

If you put people in charge who don’t know / care about particular communities in charge, there could be huge trouble.

You know… like the legal advice subr×ddit being moderated by cops. Which it is.

It’s different with subs focused on addiction & recovery though.

Maybe it’s a very bad idea to targeted knife ads in a suicide watch sub, you know? Susceptible people and all.

Oh nooooo, how terrible!

This feels so condescending towards neurotypicals in the funniest way.

“Oh, you don’t experience this tormenting struggle and can fit in with the majority of society! Good for you!” LMAO

Tbf, I know that’s not the intent, of course, but it still made me laugh!

What absolutely sucks about this is that I had carefully curated my subscriptions on RIF in order not to exacerbate my dumb mental health issues.

Hell, I’ve read angry posts about people in recovery from addiction and alcohol saying how they keep seeing ads for beer or gambling and things like that.

It’s horrifying!!

Raised in this kind of environment, I am so happy to see families break away from this kind of generational abuse.

Kids need to be around other people who have different cultures, viewpoints, and experiences in order to become a person with a well-rounded mindset and social skills.

Homeschooling has been a shield for abuse and control for so many years. I believe there are legit reasons for it, but religion uses it it such an awful way.
