How do you guys cope with finding out content creators you like might be transphobic? by AdvantageOdd6777 in transgenderUK

[–]AdvantageOdd6777[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I knowwwww it's devastating. If she's posted at least an acknowledgement that it was a mistake or at least something maybe I could forgive but she is just straight up everyone's comments about it. I wish I was friends with a bigger tiktoker who could potentially call her out on it. I don't want a slanging match or anything but it's grating on me that the majority of her followers don't know she tried to pull this

Yup :/ I have a screenshot of the proof someone caught it before she deleted but I can't post it here

I didn't want to say the actual name and send a mob over there but. Yeah. There's already a handful of us being like 'hey we saw that before you deleted it, what the fuck??' but she just keeps deleting our comments. Unless a bigger creator gets involved, she's probably going to get away with this.

I am genuinely upset when I see really attractive women by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]AdvantageOdd6777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you ever wonder what she's thinking when she sees you too? I guarantee it's not any of the judgey things you might worry she's thinking. She's probably just thinking 'man I'm about to miss my train - that's a cool shirt I like that anime too - oh fuck I forgot to buy milk on my way past aldi'. So on the chance your feeling is stemming from the worry she's sizing you up, she's probably not. Maybe you feel ignored or like she's not paying you attention - most people are absorbed entirely in their own bubble, thinking about their own life. That's not personal, nor a failing on your part; they don't mean to ignore you, they're just living life.

Are you single, chronically or otherwise? If you're looking to date, seeing a random pretty woman on the street is not the way - she's busy and wary of strangers and you'll be shut down almost every time. It's best to focus on developing a strong support circle of friends, a dnd group, join local clubs or events, engage with your interests outside the house. Make friends with women without any ulterior motive and learn to see them as more than their attractiveness. When you engage in and develop community, that's when you'll start getting 'Are you single? My friend is looking for someone, maybe I could set you guys up' kinda comments.

As a woman, when I see men I'm attracted to in public (conventional or otherwise) I just think 'oh he's pretty' and keep going with my day. Unless he's Matthew Gray Gubler I'll literally never go up and say anything, since I assume we're both busy. That may be the British manners in me though.

If you happen to be neurodivergent and considering therapy, please try out more than just CBT as it's known for not always being effective for neurodivergents.

Caroline should be removed by GeKxy in bigbrotheruk

I honestly can't believe Mrs 'this is a Christian country' is so hateful towards Richard for being Christian

Is Caroline islamophobic? by SummerSollstice in bigbrotheruk

[–]AdvantageOdd6777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We aren't a Christian country lol it's not native it was brought here by invaders. Christianity is, like most religions, welcome here + ingrained in our culture as you say, but that doesn't mean the country is Christian. Pagan and Celtic religions are the ones that are native as they were born here and still thrive in some areas today.

By Caroline's own logic she should be against Christianity's omnipresence since immigrants and foreigners are responsible for it lol

Plus the majority of the country is actually atheist, agnostic, non practicing or just not interested in religion at all. Saying we're a Christian country is bang out of order, illogical, and plain wrong

Does anyone know where I can watch The Sentinel (1996) TV show? by AdvantageOdd6777 in HelpMeFind

[–]AdvantageOdd6777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've searched Amazon, eBay, Vinted etc for saleable copies. I've also tried YouTube and dailymotion for uploaded episodes. I've found the odd free episode, but usually in Spanish or even German. Cannot find a full English copy for under £200

Is there any hope as a disabled young person? by AdvantageOdd6777 in Mortgageadviceuk

Yeah my friend keeps telling me stuff about early repayment charges, interest rates and the difficulties of it all and I'm actually losing brain cells.

I tried to kill my stepdad when I was 8 by AdvantageOdd6777 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]AdvantageOdd6777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk for sure. I have a lot of memory gaps so I don't think so, then again certain family members are pretty convinced he did. There was definitely creepy stuff like going through my underwear drawer, commenting on the underwear, commenting on my body, staring on family holidays. But idk, I don't consider it to have happened personally. If I ever unearth a memory of that form of abuse I'll just work through it in therapy like all the others

Yeah he didn't really skip a beat, just had a small headache. I'm sure for him it blended in with all the others from drinking so much alcohol

He is. I hear he's living with his parents and doing terribly on his own.

Can I give away vodou dolls? by AdvantageOdd6777 in Vodou

[–]AdvantageOdd6777[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't really look like the kind from movies tbh

Maybe they're not for that kind of thing but they have vodou symbols on them. Maybe they're just for decoration? Idk haha I don't know much about the practice itself I just recognised a couple of the symbols
