I'm concerned Vance will bring people like my dad back in after he finally felt disenfranchised enough to say he won't vote.

More like asking "you think I'm charismatic?"

I went from "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" in high school to liberal to communist to anarchist back to communist now I think I'm democratic socialist in my 30s? Just basic safety nets and unions, please.

Gotcha, thank you! I'm gonna start paying attention for it and see if I can figure it out

Wait can you explain more? I've never heard of that, feel like I'm asking for a dirty trade secret

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Well now I want to know why though

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I'll verify anecdotally it did for me. I've regretted it every day since.

For sure, I'm well aware on the other side of the state. There are active KKK chapters within a few miles of me. All the more reason to show up.

Yo, Missourian here ready to get traitor Josh Hawley replaced. I don't care what the polls say, I'm showing up no matter what.

Ah, maybe try searching household hazardous waste recycling specifically. It's possible the auto stores might accept all used oil products too, though. At least when I worked in the hazardous waste field for my county program, I mixed all the oil products, and they used it to heat the shops over the winter. We had a separate company that picked up stuff we couldn't process, and my job was mostly sorting and combining what I could first. Afaik a lot of auto companies are doing the same hazardous waste bulk pick up.

Rather than throwing it away, you may have free options for recycling nearby, too. My county has a pretty robust program for residents available with regular recycling and hazardous waste like oil or paint in certain locations. There's sometimes restrictions and sorting required from customers, but it's usually pretty straight forward if you look it up

You can understand the reason!

I just want to vent a bit - I started seeing someone a few weeks ago. Old fling that I ran into through some friends that got rekindled, and I was excited that it seemed like more than just casual hookups this time. But there were some yellow flags I ignored that turned out to be red flags, and now I'm feeling frustrated and hurt.

Dude for real dropped the line that men are more "capable" and "logical" on me. That gender studies are "indoctrination." I told him we should probably stop seeing each other if that's really what he thinks. It wouldn't be logical for me to keep seeing someone that thinks lesser of me, now, would it?

I'm grateful to have some guy friends that I turned to after I left, cuz I wanted to go into "fuck all men" mode, but I know it's not true or helpful. Just like there are women out there that have internalized misogyny, there's feminist men, enbies, etc. We're all just people and we're not monoliths beholden to differences in biology. This is just sexist, manosphere bullshit in particular

Anyway. I'm still feeling angry and wanted to put it out there for some support and solidarity. Anyone have a recent win they'd like to share or something?

ETA: Thank you so much for the conversation y'all! I've been trying to keep up but I gotta get some sleep. I'll check in later but hope everyone has a good day. Keep up the empowerment! 💜

 

I know it's not the most engaging or thought provoking question, but I'm having a bad day and would really like to find a space to vent
