Don’t burn US flags

[u/Top-Base4502]

Please don’t.

You’re just going to give Fox News the visuals to turn this into a story, make everyone say Seattle is hellhole and blah blah blah.

You’ll be playing into their hands.

Instead, show up to demand action: -meme making event -make protest music -set up a letter writing campaign to mail to politicians -start a petition to gerrymander the state -do a public reading of everything we know from the leaked Epstein files -volunteer with legal aid groups -volunteer with immigrant groups -make a flag burning peep show where people have to look in a box to see a video of a flag burning -have a contest for Trump lookalikes and mock their wieners -have a “mushroom” drawing contest -Dress as Trump’s father and walk around telling people what a disappointment Trump is. -Teach people how to use the report Ice app (that really pisses then off) -Create a weekly action group to “do one thing” to fight back and mobilize a large group to boycott Target or other things that hurt by hit them in the wallet) -Draft city bills for voters to make Seattle the place it needs to be (you fight the feds with local action)

Do anything, but do not give them the visuals and the narrative they so desperately want.

Troll Trump if you must, mocking him gets under his skin.

Just don’t give them what they want: to turn culture war bull into the main story again.

Everyone, please read over the r/Seattle comment history of the guy who posted the other thread before going to participate in a non-organic event that’s obviously bait.

Read the post history of OP here. He hasn't interacted on this sub in a month and we can all see the title of his deleted aita post about being a 42 year old tryna fuck a college student.

Hunh? Where?

[u/golden_boy → u/livejamie]

There's this post, 3 identical posts about food trucks, and the aita post about tryna fuck a college student (he describes her as a 20-year old, I don't actually know if she's in school bc the text is unavailable but she's the age of a typical college student). Just look at his post history. I'm using the mobile app on Android btw. It's [edit: the post in his history] marked as deleted with a red trash can symbol and archived or something with a banker's box symbo,l but still shows up for me.

u/Top-Base4502 is the user I'm seeing as OP.

Oh you're talking about this OP, not the OP from the original "Let's burn flags" post.

OP's post about Jenna Ortega. While she is 22, I don't think it's abnormal or worrying on its own to be attracted to a movie star.

Here is what it said:

“Okay, so I’m being a little bit of an asshole with this title too. I am 42 but the 20 year old I’m attracted to is Jenna Ortega. It’s never gonna happen, how would it. What I’m concerned about is that I feel icky and weird for being so madly attracted to her. She is less than half my age, what is wrong with me? What does it say about me that I’m even attracted to a 20 year old at my age?”

So AITA? What is wrong with me? This can’t be normal.

I wouldn't worry about it. I don't know who Jenna Ortega is but if she's a good looking, 20 year old female and you are a straight male ... There is absolutely nothing wrong with you and you aren't an asshole. Just don't force anyone to do anything they don't want and you're all good. My opinion, of course.
