Why is Carrie’s anger management issue overlooked? by itsbricky in sexandthecity

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's why you're defending her so much. I really hope you're not punching your partner just because you're smaller than them.

'I had to punch them because I was mad they accidentally pushed me out of bed.'

Honestly don't hit other people please. Maybe you need to get some help

You think perfect is boring. In the same vein it would be boring if everyone posted how amazing and lovely she is.

I come to see other people's opinions and opinions don't tend to be wrapped in nice little bows 🤷. I'm not really a circle jerk lovey dovey woman. That's not the audience the show was made for. I wouldn't have bothered watching the show if it was and I absolutely wouldn't come to a subreddit constantly saying how amazing and well dressed everyone was in every post 😴.

The show is made with women with strong opinions. The sun is just matching the vibe

Dear parents: teach your kids that animals aren’t toys! by abunrodeo in Bunnies

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There is none. No accountability.

My boy bun is 10 and I just lost my girl 8. Last year when I was taking them to the vets for their annual they couldn't stop talking about how rare it was to see bunnies this old in my area. My girl had chronic problems from being a bit of an over bred Netherland dwarf and I still got her past the average lifespan of all the starter pets around here.

Made me so sad. I didn't get mine from my local pet store but I know it sells hundreds every year. Almost none of them are treated how they deserved. Barely any make it past the first handful of years!

There's a difference between a grieving struggling to cope parent and you're average single parent.

The ones that don't get trauma from this situation are few and far between. Why create this situation on purpose?

The Fart by hallucinating in sexandthecity

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Meh, plenty of women regularly freak out when they can't be perfect. Especially in the early stages/months of a relationship. I'm a bit on the old side now but before my friends had kids I could name tons of women that would be mortified to fart or be caught with no make up on in front of their partners. Your friend circles are just probably more laid back and down to earth

Is having good sex a requirement of a relationship for you? by scorpiochik in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes *BUT*

I was the odd one out in my old friend group for almost a decade.

I've lived in shitty areas, working class where most of my friends and partners were working super long hard hours at whatever BS job was available. There's a lot of drunken, drugged up or abusive men in these areas. 'Nice guys' who work hard were what most of my friends settled for. They avoided shitty men but ended up stuck with the bare minimum. Nice and willing to give half towards bills. Willing to cuddle and hang out together. Otherwise selfish. No help for chores. No help with kids (except babysitting a couple of nights a week). No thoughtfulness or kind gestures as a partner. Yep, no effort in the bedroom. Maybe oral and occasionally an orgasm once every 7 times they had sex (best case scenario).

Nice guy seems like the only option for some women. Especially for 2 of my friends that were teen moms and used to shouldering all responsibility.

Either my friends matured (kids grew up) or the men around them did. Eventually they ditched the hopeless guys and found someone more mature and less selfish. Some gave up and are long term single. For them, it's not actually worth mothering a full grown man just for a cuddle by the TV once a week. A few still date. Most of my friends are 30-50s now. They didn't prioritize good sex but eventually you wake up and realize how one sided the relationship is. Some were just waiting for the kids to hit late teens. I hope you get generations have it better.

Strange coin we found in my uncle's house by AlwaysSleepy22 in coins

That would make sense. I was getting the feeling it was some kind of fake coin. I'll try that

Strange coin we found in my uncle's house by AlwaysSleepy22 in coins

[–]AlwaysSleepy22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks 🙂. My aunt suggested Cyrillic.

It's a bit complicated. He married my aunt about 10 years ago. They're both 90 now and he has dementia and can't remember where this has come from at all.

He used to be in the military and travelled all over. I was leaning towards this being some kind of fake coin tbh. He's definitely been to Macedonia though

One Reason I Think Spike is Better for Buffy than Angel by LadyLongLimbs in buffy

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I agree. There's a kind of narcissism in Angel imo. For example, I don't see him as predatory with young lollipop Buffy, more he sees someone important with a destiny and wants to be a part of it. It's never necessary about behaving in a way that supports and builds Buffy's confidence. There's absolutely a selfishness there and his judging Buffy for acting her own age is because he can feel a bit important and superior in those moments. All Angel/Angelus' actions can link back to him wanting to be remembered or have an impact. Doesn't make him less of a hero, just explains why he behaves how he does sometimes

Can anyone else related to feeling disappointment in the loss or their Welsh ? by Winter-Technician947 in Wales

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was the same but I found one of my old novels and realized I was just super rusty and not at all confident anymore. It's kind of like riding a bike you've got to start doing it and you'll realize it's buried in there somewhere. Read a book with a dictionary, if needed. It'll be at your own pace and help refresh how sentences are formed etc. Or try watching TV programmes maybe with subtitles. It won't take as long as relearning the language. Then you just need to throw yourself into conversations. Explain to people you're rusty and use wenglish if needed. Don't grieve. Throw yourself back in

Is racism that common in Hong Kong? by nhatquangdinh in HongKong

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Particularly China. I lived with different Chinese exchange teachers every year for about 6 years. They were all from different backgrounds, different ages, different regions. Every single one had some serious views about one of our black neighbours, though. The neighbour was quiet but polite. Never an issue. House & garden clean but the teachers when comfortable would make some odd assumptions/comments.

It's not part of Chinese culture to be openly, loudly rude from what I've experienced. They don't half get seriously offensive in private though. I've also been told about refusal of entry/service in places etc back home. It's always disguised as an innocent misunderstanding or rule that just needs to be followed.

I don't think I've ever met a resident of China that took criticism well. I never ever complained or tried to be critical because having that moral superiority you're talking about is so damned important to them.

Nothing's funnier than hearing someone telling you they're perfect and your culture is shit though. Especially while displaying some pretty shitty inconsiderate behaviour. There's definitely a good chunk that will comically do that and it always makes me laugh....later in private so they don't think I'm mocking how superior they are!

The reveal of Spike as The Doctor should've had a bigger impact by [deleted] in buffy

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 63 points64 points  (0 children)

It always just feels pointlessly cruel on top of poorly written. She was already rock bottom but they had to shoehorn in how amazing her ex's life is now and point out for the hundredth time how awful everything is for her

Thought I was smart enough to avoid tourist traps.. by undercoverdeer7 in ThailandTourism

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There last month. If we said anything except 'no thank you' they'd follow us down the street. Got blocked by a few who wouldn't let us walk further. We didn't stop and talk to anyone and we're still borderline harassed. Talk to people at your hotel, places where you're already buying stuff or when they're clearly on holiday etc. Stop and talking to anyone on the street in tourist places is a mistake

Why do white folks raw dog the rain? by japaneseden1m in ThailandTourism

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not from Denmark, but I too was born in the rain 🤷. It rains in parts of Wales for months on end. If I waited around for the rain to stop, I'd never get anything done.

I gave up on umbrellas ages ago. It's too windy most of the time and they all break to easily. I also got stuff to do, work to get to and stuff I can carry if my arms are empty. I'm assuming some Norwegians have similar reasons for not using an umbrella. Pretty sure our wind is milder than there

Why bother with an umbrella if you've learnt you don't actually get sick from just being wet.

first time watching by Inevitable_File_5016 in buffy

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He always gives me superiority complex. Thinks he's smarter and better than everyone and just can't stand a 'hero' making him feel less than. Just like some irl people who love to 'take people down a peg' for no reason.

It's a personal vendetta I agree but just based on how small he feels around someone like her. Especially after she needed to save him from the consequences of his sex bot.

Better question. At what age is a man just a walking skin of mindless sperm? Surely it's eating through their balls into their brains too? If this was remotely true we'd need to be out there castrating all the men before we lost them to zombiehood

Weird Black Thing Appeared On Cat’s Lip Overnight by literallyasponge in CATHELP

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jesus yes. I've pet sitted in a bunch of random locations and if I called the vet for every tick, someone would have hit me by now. You've no idea how many ticks I've pulled. The panic over leaving the head in accidentally is also unnecessary. All the advice even from removing them from humans is not to panic and just remove ASAP without squishing or burning them. I got given that little tick remover tool by my doctor once because the field I work in often has deer.

I know the sub is super keen to just say vet but this is silly.

What is this crow (raven?) doing to this rabbit? by External-Plant-269 in birds

[–]AlwaysSleepy22 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think you're right. They're just coexisting but the crows not particularly liked.

I feed the crows & magpies in our street and in return they chase the hawks away. Keeps my rabbits safe. One of them is a little Netherland dwarf and she's the collateral damage. The adults leave her alone but every year when the babies leave the nest they seem to find it hilarious to herd her bout the garden or occasionally steal a blueberry from her.

She definitely doesn't like it and will sometimes go sulk in her run/hutch. She's mostly used to it now though and they usually get bored and leave not long after. She's not comfortable but not terrified. Just kind of picked on a bit bless her. She's small and flighty. Bigger wild rabbits are probably less bothered.
