What is one thing people keep getting wrong?

It's Pride Month!! The month where everyone gets to celebrate who they are!!!! ......I don't deserve to have that. I'm not real. I'm not really genderfluid. I'm just a faker. I'm not actually bi. I just have trauma. I don't deserve to call myself something that I'm not. My mom hates the fact that I am anything but cis or straight, she's so horribly Christian and straight. She's such a good mom but-- according to her, my identity is nothing but a phase, and fuck if I don't believe her. I have so much trouble even convincing myself that I'm valid that it's so damn hard to convince her. I have to go to church where everyone hates "the gays" because it's a sin to like anyone other than men and I was put in this body for a reason. I'm just going through a phase, I'm a girl and always have been and always will be, because I don't know what being a boy feels like, according to my stepdad. I'm above such things. Why does this hurt so fucking much? I just want to be normal. God, I just want

Man, do you ever give it a rest? Sad that when anyone can disappear for any length of time, they're greeted by your consistent, disgusting hatred of unworthy shit. if you have that much hate, go with Hamas. I'm sure they'd LOVE you, only to use you as fodder and hopefully an Israeli headshots or blows you up before you even get to fulfill your hateful destiny.

I think it's stupid that people keep their phones in their back pants pocket for a whole myriad of reasons. The only thing that can make it worse is to add in a phone case that doubles as a wallet Yip-eee! The thief not only has your phone, but all of your id and credit cards too. "Thanks for the wallet with the little internet connected computer inside!"

Knocking on a door before entering isn’t rocket science. It’s basic courtesy. You can’t just barge in like you own the place especially in a public restroom.

I swear, I’m just trying to handle my business at work, and people act like closed doors mean nothing. What if the lock fails? Now we’re stuck awkwardly staring at each other because you couldn’t take two seconds to knock first.

Seriously, it’s not hard. Just knock. Spare us both the unnecessary trauma.

I’m a 29-year-old white guy, and I move between different work sites. Today was my first day back at my original office after two months away, so I was making my rounds, saying hello to everyone.
When I got to one of my coworkers a Black woman in her mid-30s I greeted her with, “Good morning, (name), how’s your people doing?” meaning her friends and family.

Her reaction caught me off guard. She told me I wasn’t cute and that what I said wasn’t funny. I didn’t understand at the time, but after thinking about it, I wonder if she took “your people” to mean Black people instead of family and friends.

If she felt offended and brings it up, I believe I can explain that I meant no harm—it was just a casual expression. But having to worry about this kind of misunderstanding is exhausting. Can’t even try to be friendly without wondering if HR will get involved.

For context, I’m one of only two white employees here. I’ve never had issues with my coworkers, and I don’t really talk much with this particular colleague outside of greetings.

im tired of constantly feeling like i have to tiptoe around conversations the other day while playing games with a couple of friends i brought up a question for friend a just something simple to clarify a word i had misunderstood since i figured theyd know the answer

me hey i have a question about x does x mean y

friend a actually no x means z

me oh okay i thought x meant

then out of nowhere friend b cut in super serious no youre wrong they just told you x means z

at that point i snapped and just said something like okay i get it
and suddenly i was the bad guy they started going on about how i was out of line for reacting that way saying i was being hostile
am i losing it because this kind of thing happens way too often friend a and i will be talking everything seems fine and then friend b jumps in with this overly serious tone like the slightest misstep is some huge offense

and somehow i always end up being the one in the wrong its beyond frustrating

My dreams did escalate; this is the second time I've dreamed about my dead aunt. Surprisingly it didn't drive me to suicide this time compared to the first dream I had about her...

In truth, I didn't have any closure when she died. I should have dealt with it how I normally would, but I treated it like she was somewhere else around the world; having a great time on vacation with my uncle..I would like to keep thinking about it that way.

How could I just move on? Yes, I wasn't so close to her in the last years she was alive and sure we had time to bond with each other again. She raised me like one of her own children and I can't just forget that. Now she's buried on a steep hill with other graves, a 4-hour drive.

Dealing with grief is hard, even after almost 3 years. I miss you Auntie, love you.

What is the difference between Nazi Germany and "Israel"? Different periods, different countries being illegally invaded and different Dictatorship?
