His Facebook posts always seem to make my a** itch. He uses Facebook as a guise. & The comments are full of yes men who just praise his “transparency” and stroke his ego. His posts are too long, contradictory and he is very open about his usage of ChatGPT.. his patronizing tone towards a “particular audience” is obvious. He has never gave any condolences to families affected. His last post quoted “There is absolutely no statistic that makes that loss less painful” then proceeded to use a substantial portion of the post to talk about statistics.

He said the sewer systems and high water bills are something we just have to deal with, meanwhile he’s vague on the topic of how it’s possible to spend billions because “data centers save infrastructures”.

I even recall seeing him last year before the election at Westside Bowl. He was standoffish and I saw him rudely decline to buy king size candy bars from a little girl. Personally, I am not a fan.

If you have anything nice to say about the guy feel free to prove me wrong.

For starters, ever since I was a little girl, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” was one of my favorite movies. At 6 years old! I truly had no business watching it, but the intensity of the plot pulled me in. Moral of the story was that Helen WAS angry.
As much as I hated Charle’s for what he did to her… She was no better when she neglected him out of spite. I use to genuinely admire the scenes when she got her “lick back”. But now, I don’t glorify that behavior. Helen needed to heal. (Don’t lose me now I know it’s just a movie) She had every right to just say no to helping him. The mistress was Latina I believe and she walked away. She was portrayed as a gold digger but she was never portrayed as aggressive. Even when her and Madea went to get Helen’s clothes and ended up vandalizing things… I use to find humor in that scene. Now, I see the programming in it.
The movie did not portray the healing journey in a real way. It portrayed colorism, stereotypes and toxic attitudes. It made sure all the chaos was more than relatable. The traumatic scenes are the most memorable. You don’t heal by cussing people out, hitting them, making them feel like they need you and certainly not through another man. She wasn’t showing grace by choosing to help Charles.

Ultimately, the movie is propaganda… and a lot of black woman do fit into the “angry black woman” narrative. I know that other races of women behave the same but I’m here. & When I read some of the posts in this community… I fear that we are abandoning ourselves in subtle but detrimental ways. We play victim so much that we start feeling bad for ourselves. We start thinking everything is out to get us or tear us down. We continue to look outside of us instead of inward. In a world full of curated personalities and experiences. Remember to stay true to your self.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

I’m 26f, born 11/22/1999

Hi all, looking for some great mental health professionals in the area that accept Medicaid. Google wasn’t much help. I’m not sure if I want to sit down with a man or woman.I don’t think it would make a difference..I’m 26f… I want a psychiatrist that truly cares and sees me as a person and not a head case. Anything helps, thanks!

Hi all, I’m a 26F that was recently dating a 33M. We are both musically inclined. I sing, he plays drums and I met him on Valentine’s Day when he invited me to his gig. I thought it was destiny but boy was I wrong.. Also, one of his best friends use to play guitar for me and expressed to him that he liked me. Which led to them not being friends and me having to find a new guitarist..

Not to mention he was in the process of divorcing his wife after being separate for 1 1/2 years. I will try to only speak on the situation that led to me blocking him. Our 5 month situationship was intense. I was trying to make amends with the old guitarist and he invited me to his gig. I didn’t plan on telling the guy but I did out of respect. I asked him if he was okay with me going.. He invited himself and first said “he wanted to see what the guitarist would do” then “I love live music and just want to sit down and watch instead of having to play”. Deep down I knew it wasn’t a good idea.. but, it actually backfired on us.

I remember drinking 3 monocos, 3 shots of tequila and 1 1/2 lemon drops (he poured the rest of his drink in mine). I’m 5 ft 120lbs… I was drunk. I went to dance on him and he whispered to me complaining that a homosexual man wouldn’t stop talking to him. When I walked away, they were talking again. When we were getting ready to leave, I made a drunk comment when I seen a couple kissing. I said “I WANT THAT” whatever his response was led me to say IM GOING TO GET THAT WHETHER ITS WITH YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE”.. We argued the whole way back to my house. He said I should’ve said “I’ll wait for him” instead of “someone else”.

When that argument was over, we were arguing over the interaction with the man he had. I wasn’t accusing of him liking men. I just said his actions were contradicting what he said to me. He lashed out, “IM NOT G*Y! MY WIFE THOUGHT THE SAME THING IM NOT GOING THROUGH THIS AGAIN” “HE’S HUMAN TOO THATS WHY I TALKED TO HIM”. “I HAVE A BROTHER THATS G*Y” I just didn’t understand why he complained that he wouldn’t leave him alone just to turn around and talk to him again. I still wasn’t yelling, it takes a lot to get me riled up. He started yelling at me to gtfo his car and I refused. I didn’t want to end on bad terms. But he didn’t care and said he would never call me again.

I started breaking down crying, I was trying to deescalate things but he wasn’t having it. I remember him threatening to call the police. & Throwing personal things I had told him about in my face. He said something about my mother and I lost it. I pulled his hair, swung on him a few times, grabbed his keys out the ignition and threw them in the parking lot. He called the police but never told them I hit him. They arrived as soon as he found his keys. So they all left… I stupidly got into my car and followed him.

He called me.. “You just put your hands on me! You’re blocked!” I was trying to apologize and he said he didn’t care and hung up on me. I was right behind him in the car at this point. He pulled into sheetz and I followed him in the store. He was yelling at the front counter making a scene “NO YOU PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME!”. He called the cops again when we went outside the store. I just wanted him to calm down and talk to me. I was still crying and didn’t care when the cops got there. We went our separate ways. He blocked me on TikTok but he never blocked my number.

I called him 100 times trying to apologize and sent a few texts, until I finally realized I was trying too hard and looked pathetic. I took my apology back and told him he deserved to get hit, he’s dead to me and blocked his number. I saw that he unblocked me on TikTok the next day but I had blocked him back anyway and plan to keep it that way.

That wasn’t his first time lashing out on me, but that was my first time losing control. I’m not proud of myself for hitting him but I’m not ashamed either. Despite the age difference I was well aware I was more emotionally intelligent and mature than him.

We will never speak again. Idk what was worse arguing over his sexuality, speaking on my mother, me hitting him or him calling the cops. Anyway not really looking for advice just needed to vent..sorry for the book…feel free to share anyway.. is this something anyone can relate to?

My son and I are both life path 7. I am 11/22/1999 he is 03/27/2020. Anyone with expertise on life path numbers or master numbers please feel free to engage with this post.

I’ve read a lot of articles, which typically say the same thing. I’ve seen some people say the life path number signifies how many reincarnations you’ve had or already experienced. I’ve done my birth chart. I consider myself born in both Scorpio and Sagittarius depending on which chart and calendar I refer to. But being born on a cusp still can be confusing.
I used Astro charts for my birth chart. I don’t know how to read them personally. I’ve used chat gpt but there has to be other resources outside of META and Google.

I want to know more about our past lives and our relationship. We’re very close. He’s only 6 and he’s so smart. I do feel different from a lot of people (not superior) just on an awareness basis. My son is very conscious for his age as well. The questions he asks me astounds me sometimes. Anyway, anything helps. This is just Reddit not expecting a full psychic read or anything.

Hi all, I had a beautiful dream last night but I don’t understand or remember exactly what happened… All I know is, this year has been really rough for me. Some days I feel depressed, other’s I feel more in alignment with myself. I’m 26f and I have only lived on my own for 6 years. Now, I have my 46y/o mother living with me and my son in our 2BR apt.

I won’t get into all the details of how she got here.. but things have been going downhill since 2023. She couldn’t afford to pay rent at our childhood home anymore, so now she sleeps in my living room. She begs for money often, hasn’t worked since 2023, and she can be very judgmental and overwhelming at times.

Anyway, strangely enough last night I was intoxicated and sat down with my mom and told her “I would like for us to try and have at least 2 talks a week, being completely open and transparent about things. Some days just going through the motions and not speaking takes a toll on my mental” She agreed. In my dream I was back at my childhood home in the dining room… I don’t remember who- but someone was expecting them to appear in a wide and tall, glass cabinet.

I was in a room full of people but I don’t remember faces. I would assume it was family, they felt familiar. I sat down and stared into the glass cabinet for a while and not just one appeared but 3 greys. I remember yelling out “I see them they’re here!” But I don’t remember anyone else in the room acknowledging me after that. I only remember staring into the glass and one of them stared back at me right in my eyes, the other two were so still I almost thought they were toys. The one looking back at me didn’t say anything… but I had feelings of fearlessness, and excitement. Was this a dream contact? Or perhaps by subconscious playing with me. Who knows…

Hi all, I have not had a direct contact yet. I’ve experienced orbs, dreams of ships, synchronizations and many other phenomena’s. But I feel that I have not been contacted directly yet, not only because I have yet to set my intentions, meditate consistently and all that good stuff… but also because I think I’d be scared to see one.

A bit contradictory I know… I have a feeling that I will be experiencing something soon and I also have a feeling the at I will be scared sh*tless… & the crazy thing is I wouldn’t be scared for my life but just at their appearance… So, here’s a few questions I would ask them and experiencers who have interacted with them before.. they’re a bit simple so bear with me..

1. Do they wear clothes?

2. What is their purpose?

3. What is earth?

4. I want to know if I’m a starseed, how do I remember my cosmic background?

5. Will astrology help me understand myself and my past lives?

6. Is everyone on Earth capable of reaching their true selves or will there always be yin/Yang dynamics?

7. Is being love the ultimate goal?

8. Can someone categorize the different species and typical characteristics traits they may possess?

I met a man 4 months ago on Valentine’s Day. He’s 7 years older and extremely blunt. He has no problem voicing his opinions and feelings… When we first met I feel that he was only infatuated with me. In April my world flipped upside down and he noticed a shift in my energy. He knows what I’m going through but his criticism is still loud.

He’d constantly say “your energy is different. You aren’t the same as you were when I first met you”. He’s getting to see what I’m like under pressure and havoc. We’ve had some arguments, we’ve exchanged “I love you”s whether it was too soon to be genuine or not. He even said “I’m quiet now and our conversations were getting boring” but apologized after I told him how insensitive that was.

Now, when I replay most of the things he says, it sounds like pity and tolerance. I have doubts and fears about our connection but I try to stay present. He tells me some of the things I do turn him off and he doesn’t know if he wants to be with me because of our differences in views. He says “idk if I’m open minded enough and idk if you’ll wait for me”

The thing is, right now I don’t need him to be sure about me. I’m not sure about him…It’s way too early to tell and neither of us are looking for a relationship. He does things that turns me off, his breath has stunk on multiple occasions, and I don’t agree with everything he says either. We have great times together too. But the criticism is becoming more memorable for me. He says I have selective listening lol.

After 4 months of knowing each other I don’t expect him to be sure, but I also didn’t expect him to openly say “idk if I want to be with you”… I am a lover girl, I kind of believe in love at first sight. I want to feel chosen and seen. Does anyone know the difference between love and tolerance? Or infatuation and genuine interest? How do I tell the difference? Because as blunt as he is, he’s still not being honest. Is it a fear of losing me and me not waiting around? is it his fear of feeling insufficient? Or is his fear of hurting my feelings while I’m going through this trial? Am I being tolerated?

I’m a huge lover girl.. I just ended a relationship last year in February/March. Met another guy in June, which went left by August. Strange enough, he told me “I love you” first and my response was that I don’t believe him, but I love him too. (How I could be sure I love someone but not sure they love me idk)

Anyway, present day I’ve met another guy. We met on Valentine’s Day.. it’s only been about 3 months and I have deep feelings for him. He’s a drummer, musically inclined like me, he’s sweet and very kind. Very different from everyone from my past. He’s 33, I’m 26f. He’s in Virgo I’m in Scorpio/Sag cusp. We’re already exchanging “I love you’s”… but this time I said it first. Which I’ve never done before..

I guess my question, which is kind of turning rhetorical is: Is it ever too soon to say I love you? I mean that’s what we’re here for.. to love, feel and be. With ideologies like “love bombing” it’s hard to not second guess what I’m feeling..
