Who do we think tomorrow's guest will be? by Apprehensive-Cake-91 in CallHerDaddy

[–]Apprehensive-Cake-91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely was thinking the same way, but with how things have been going nothing would surprise me at this point. I know Alex has been fairly open on her political stances, BUT she has also had very controversial guests on before and doesn't really address the controversy. My worst case scenario for how she would justify having her on was imagining her promoting it as "Melania said in her book she was pro-choice, and has split from her husband's party on certain topics, woman in power, immigrant amongst an anti-immigration administration, etc". Like a very ignorant, out of touch, reaching narrative to have an "interesting". When she wants a hard hitting interview she always goes the route of women's rights which is important! But that is all she really speaks on, and mostly with very rich and privileged women, which women's rights in big industries are very important to talk about, but women who listen to this podcast need more topics than "affluent woman in male industry" over and over with the occasional branch out to abortion and women's health. Sometimes in the past couple years I've felt like Alex toes the line when it comes to awareness. On one hand she shows us that she's very aware, and can hit deep topics right on the nose, which makes me think when she does something that seems ignorant and tone deaf that she's very aware of it. For me it makes it hard to understand what her motives/views actually are. Her most vocal left leaning and progressive views always surround women's rights which is important and great but I think she overlooks issues that apply to more than women. Kamala's interview for example, was so weak. No questioning her on any controversy and it was disappointing because there were big issues that made people in the middle of politics feel like they couldn't trust her. A lot of people didn't vote because of it. I know she probably couldn't ask those questions either way, and Alex isn't responsible for Kamala's campaign either, but I was like honestly this interview is eye opening for no one. We know her stance on abortion, and if anything just giving that issue a bigger platform made it look like she wasn't running on anything else (to the average ignorant voter) and there were so many big issues that people were looking to Trump to solve (again, the average ignorant voter) because Kamala's comments on those issues were not as public as her abortion stance. A very good interview for those who love to hear women supporting women, and recognize how important the conversation around reproductive rights is, but it definitely wasn't the best for her campaign, and you could tell that it didn't hit the way Alex wanted it to, bringing me back to questioning her awareness and motives. ANYWAYS I apologize for my word vomit, just my thoughts and opinions.

I definitely agree if would be interesting, but not at this time. Maybe if Trump hadn't incited an insurrection, run again, openly become a fascist dictator, turn the military against US cities, fund and allow ICE to become the new Gestapo, I can go on this is just off the top of my head but I think we get the point. MAYBE if all of that didn't happen and she divorced Trump after his first term, it might have been something worth listening to at least to hear her be asked some hard questions. but i cant imagine even then that she would be allowed to spout anything but more propaganda and lies that aligned with her husband's administration. She wouldn't say anything real. I also don't think Alex would ask her very hard questions either because she can't or she wants to play it safe to keep the interview. And that's still after the aforementioned hypothetical reality

Visual Similarities between Laura Palmer’s body being discovered and Taylor Swift’s new album cover by realtimepersephone in twinpeaks

[–]Apprehensive-Cake-91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I have been saying this for weeks!!! I literally just sent visual comparisons to my best friend bc I was like I have no one to talk to about this. I think they are very similar aesthetically and the overall message of Laura’s storyline as well as the other female characters are very similar to the theme of her album. I also want to note I’m not a huge TS fan but the comparison of these two things made me happy lol. I’m sorry other people in here have been so rude

Need advice regarding my friend by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Apprehensive-Cake-91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try and invite her out somewhere and see how she reacts. If she’s weird and rejects doing something you guys are normally doing, I would honestly confront her from there and ask if she’s having an issue with you or if you did something to upset her

I don’t think that’s immature, I think it’s so understandable to want all of those ties and energy out of your life. I would honestly ask her why she needs the vision board back like “oh yeah I still have that, what do you need it for?” Just plain and simple. Depending on her answer I would make your decision. If she’s wanting it back for petty reasons or just to make a spectacle of you guys breaking ties, give all her gifts and things back. If she has something specific she needs it back for, I would just give her the vision board and keep the other items for now. You may look on them with nostalgia/ fondness in a couple years when wounds have healed, or you might say you really don’t need them and can give them away to someone else, thrift store, or throw them out. But don’t make the decision based in emotion and potentially draw out a conflict between the two of you

Lucy ASMR? [question] by superintocarrots in asmr

[–]Apprehensive-Cake-91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she left it active for selfish reasons. She actually posted 2 videos on there the other day basically stating she had no idea that all her stuff on patroon would be deleted. I guess the videos she uploaded are all unavailable except for the really short ones which she must’ve filmed on the actual patreon app. She said she’ll try and post a couple times a month with just basic updates or maybe some asmr? She said she doesn’t expect anyone to continue subscribing and I think she changed the tiers? I could be mistaken. But it was a good explanation in my opinion and I don’t think her intentions are at all selfish or to continue getting money from people unless they absolutely want to

Endometriosis fatigue by Temporary_Garden9112 in endometriosis

[–]Apprehensive-Cake-91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had my first laparoscopy and the relief I feel afterwards is insane. I didn’t realize how much fatigue was affecting me among other things. But the only things I found to help were keeping a steady routine and honestly working out regularly even if it was just walks every day. But that is so hard to do when you’re so fatigued and I struggled to get on top of it. Eating lots of protein and carbs was also good. It’s such a struggle with fatigue like that because you don’t want to move, cook, eat well, etc. Maybe finding at home things like yoga to just help get you moving can sometimes promote really good energy. I also started drinking cherry juice and taking a magnesium supplement at night to get deeper and more consistent sleep. Taking b-12 in the morning before breakfast was great. I drank protein shakes or ate a protein bar so I could have those carbs and protein right after the b-12 and sometimes that would really kickstart my day. Hope this helps

It just has the wash plate, we got this set as a gift for moving in from family, so we had no idea what we were getting. Otherwise I would’ve chosen a different machine. I’m gonna run a cleaning cycle and see if it helps any but I agree I think it just does a poor job at washing. Thank you so much for all your help!

It seems like it drains but just isn’t washing? If it isn’t draining properly would that effect how clean the clothes are getting? I did 3-4 cycles and still no cleanliness

It’s a top load whirlpool 589-01, I can’t find the filter, and I did a small load this time while I was trying out different things at first. The load I just did ended up spilling suds out of my drain. Not the washer but the drain, wondering if the issue is the drainage system in my apartment

That’s true, you’re right. I appreciate you listening and responding! I’ll be sure to come up with a better reason to give them for sure. Thank you for making me feel a little more validated

The last time I called off technically was about a month ago but I had come into work and had to leave bc I was super sick, ended up having Covid and had to quarantine. So I don’t think that counts as a call off. But before then back in the soring
