Where do you live?

Check with the local library. Tehre may be local options you are unaware of. In my area the police auction off items they have retrieved, it’s possible to get a bike that way.

If you’re learning to ride as an adult, it’s a good idea to ride on soft ground because you are going to fall. Get a helmet and good gloves.

Yes.

Everyone feels their own feelings.

It might take you a while to process everything.

One more thing…

Make an extra set of keys before you move in.

Liquor stores have the best boxes and the clerks hate having to break them down. Go to the local liquor store and ask them for boxes. You’ll get all you need.

Another good trick. Instead of packing delicates like plates with paper, use clean clothes. T-shirts will keep things from breaking and you cut down on the number of boxes.

Do yourself a favor and wait.

There’s a good chance you could make your condition worse.

This is when you bite the bullet and talk to a trained professional.

If you haven’t seen it, “Orphan Black” is a BBC show about a group of clones being hunted down by their creators.

One actress played about 20 different roles in the series; and there were a few scenes where all the clones were in the same room together.

Great show and a masterclass in acting.

There really is no such thing as ‘The USA.’

I live in New York City and what’s cool here will get you arrested in other places.

Some towns are fine with you having a rifle on open display. Some towns are fine with you smoking pot on the street.

Listen to your SO’s friends and [close] family.

Your SO talks to them about what they really want.

If you’re sitting for more than an hour straight that’s probably the problem.

OSHA rules demand that anyone sitting for more than 90 minutes straight get a 40 minute break.

Stop torturing yourself.

Drag yourself to the local store that sells chairs etc.

What is comfortable for one person is torture for another. Somethings have to be purchased hands on.

So, your evidence is your interpretation of what was a common expression for hundreds of years.

If I bothered to, I’m sure I could find plenty of Left organizations that used exactly the same phrase.

Also, Heinlein wrote “…All You Zombies” about a transman; he had an African woman as a major character in “Tunnel In The Sky”; he predicted a religious dictatorship ruling America in “Revolt In 2100.”

And condemning people for a single word or phrase IS directly from the Fascist playbook.

He said that he thought his DI did a good job of teaching him to be a responsible adult.

Look up ‘The Bonus Army.’ Those guys were all military veterans. They were also some of the most radical people in US history. When they came to Washington they tried to keep discipline like they’d been taught.

If forcing young people to act responsibly is ‘fascist,’ then every coach, teacher, and sensei is a fascist.

So, you have no evidence that he was a Fascist. You have an opinion.

It’s very important that you learn that you having an opinion about a fact doesn’t change the fact.

Do you have any proof?

Reagan loved to talk about ‘deregulation’ when what he was really talking about was letting businesses steal from consumers.

The book ‘Starship Troopers’ is a lot different from the movie.

In the book the Bugs have space ships and other tech, so it’s obvious that their leadership in intelligent. The question is whether the soldiers in the field are thinking for themselves or just genetically programmed to fight.

The narrator opines that if the Bug can kill you, that makes it smarter than you.

Putin doesn’t even have to ask him.

The most insane thing about Trump is how much of a weakling he is. All he had to do was demand $50 billion from the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2016 and he could have sailed along without a care. Instead he decided the smart thing to do was chisel his supporters for nickels and dimes.
