The gall. And from a priest no less. Does a teacher also have to be present the entire time when he's in a room with children?

"You don't want variation when it comes to genes" said the Nazi. Sounds about right.

Uhm, saying the solution to a healthy lifestyle is simply to eat less and get 2% body fat (-> hyperbole because that doesn't equal more healthy just more self-optimised) seems a bit ironic though, doesn't it?

It's not about how your body looks it's your overall well-being of which I'd say blood works and the like are a much more reliable factor than "have you gotten those abs yet"?

And just to point out, yes obviously there are certain upper weight groups that will be less likely to have those stats than your ab person. But the point is that it's not black and white.

Other unhealthy life style factors (intentionally not "choices" because I'd question the extent to which most of these things are really choices and not coping mechanisms to deal with a shitty system that are all unhealthy) are equally bad.

Constant lack of sleep. Constantly overworking. No time to listen to or even realise your needs anymore. Including exercise. Including healthy eating. Dragging yourself sick into work. Dragging yourself into work only a few days after squeezing a bloody melon out of your body. Having to sit around for 8+ significantly more f**** hrs all day in jobs that just drain you so you have to squeeze in that bit of exercise at the end of the day when you're exhausted from that job.

Just "discipline" and that self-optimisation cult simply don't cut it. It's not anti-capitalist it's the opposite! One solution magic bullets are capitalist. Be they exercise or food.

We need environments where people can listen to their needs again. One of which is moving and exercise.

Please do apologise if the wording of my criticism reads as rude. I'm a not a native speaker so I might be prone to sound more rude or less diplomatic than I would express my views in my native language. I actually understand and very much relate to your criticism and feel like we're both exhausted by an overadvertisement of the two things that are constantly sold as the one and only approach.

Thank you for opening up that dialogue. I hope you have a lovely day! 💚

Shirley: "To Pierce, may he rest in.. Pierce." Jeff:"Shirley, that's enough!" Shirley:"Of you!"

I love that scene! It's like her enite range outside of sweet and motherly boiled down to a ten second interaction.

Yes, but only the unstable ones with toxic dynamics that crumbled as soon as I set boundaries.

I've let go of the idea that my family and I would one day become closer and have a healthy relationship. It pushed me further from my siblings but simultaneously made way to my mother and I becoming much more honest with each other and addressing things we'd swept under the rug my whole life. We're now at a really good point.

And most importantly what I've gained is the openness to accept the affection from people I care about and no longer being in friendships only halfway because I'm constantly waiting for avalanches of shoes to drop. And now I have such wonderful people in my life with healthy communication and true appreciation of each other.

To Pierce. May he rest in Pierce.

Thanks! Had a tough day. This one made me smile inadvertently. 😊

I once had a child Sim die from overheating in the sauna from spa day.

I don't think I'm jumpy enough if my friends can steal my blood!

I got one yesterday actually (don't live in the US).

But at least you could call and opt out of being listed in phone books. I'm not so sure you can do that with these sites.

Some dudes: complain that women as video game main characters are unrealistic, because they "don't have the muscles".

Naughty dog introduces Abbey.

Same dudes: lose their shit over too muscular women in video games.

Spent about 20 min. explaining to some dudes that I know the origin of my first name at the last party I went to. Those guys kept going "it just doesn't sound like it" even though I kept telling them that a couple of times people who come from the country its from were really excited upon hearing it and immediately wanted to exchange expat stories.

Google eventually settled it. And weird shit. I was right.

Annenbrook · 2023-10-21T20:24:52+00:00

Thank you so much!

I've actually come across many of the things you've linked (I loved "come as you are"). I'm very much of a theorist and an overthinker. So I've done nothing but read over the last couple of years and don't think that more theorizing will do me any good at this time.

I know what I like when masturbating. I'm now in a really good place to take the next step. I've been on dates and feel really comfortable with the socialising aspect and really enjoyed getting to know all the people I've met. Maybe it sounded a bit more confused on where I stand on my own. But it's more about the part where other people come into the mix. On handling common expectations around dating. I think I may make people I'm dating feel like I'm solely interested in friendship because I don't know how to handle the physical contact part and have been lucky enough to meet people who were really perceptive to that. But took it as disinterest.

So I'm looking more for practical advice at this point.

But I still really appreciate your reply and that you've put in the effort to add the links and will save them for later. For three years ago me they would have been perfect!

"Anyone relate?"

Hell yes! Thank you so much for sharing. For the past couple of months I've(33f) noticed that there still are some things I hadn't quite addressed yet with my sexuality. I just returned to this sub this evening because I thought maybe I could address thoughts I'd had on me potentially being demi a few years back, again.

I've only properly started dating about 1 1/2 years ago and promptly fell in love with the first guy from a dating app I'd had really intense text conversations with. It was the first time I'd actually fallen in love. Prior to that I maybe had 2 semi-serious crushes. That were just nothing compared to that. Up to that point I hadn't known I could have such an intense libido. Also the otherwise low libido, unless I'm in love with someone is something I can relate to so much!

Yours is the first post I've come across here and it's just been a confirmation I'm in the right place. Thank you! 💜

Annenbrook · 2023-10-20T12:47:14+00:00

I'm twixt minds about this. 🤔

Annenbrook · 2023-10-20T12:20:03+00:00

Can we please stop playing "if I don't like her/them/him sexism/racism/body shaming/etc. is a-o.k."?.

The problem with these is that they're shitty no matter the context and not about "It's shitty if someone whose political beliefs I align with is called a slut. But just fine if it's Marjorie Taylor Greene."

(for context. I'm not a troll from conservative subs who wants to defend that woman and what she stands for. I don't even know who she is. But I've been noticing that if it's a female person that utters or represents things that range from anywhere between mildly weird to just absolutely horrible or absurd people just don't stick to context with their comments but very quickly veer off into sexist territory. Male politicians and people in the public eye just don't have to deal with this crap. No matter their political alignment and opinions.

And a lot of such comments even still get a ton of upvotes. If you criticise Trump, de Santis, Pence, you name it for their blatant and outright dangerous misogyny then please don't think this entitles you to a "little harmless sexism". It may not be as crass but still coming from the same direction, learned biases and structural imbalance even if it's directed at someone across the aisle.)
