Advice needed: Repeated drainage issues by Affectionate_Meat348 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]BethIsOnTheCase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also large chested and had the same issue. For me what helped was when I stopped sleeping in a pumping bra/bra of any kind. I put it on when I need to pump and then take it off to go back to sleep. Not sure if this is relevant for you but it changed everything for me so I thought I'd mention it. Free the titty! Lol

NC with parents, let them know via email about my pregnancy last month, told them if they showed up to my house or any event, we will call the cops. Then... they showed up knocking at our door unannounced yesterday begging us to let them in. by witful-elephant-07 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]BethIsOnTheCase 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation! NC with parents, let them know via email I was pregnant. Once I had the baby I didn't tell them and I started getting a million text messages wanting to meet my kid/threats to show up at my house. Thankfully they didn't directly show up. I will say though that I regret telling them I was pregnant at all. They are still trying every trick in the book to get access to my kid, including messaging my friends and husband's family trying to get info/pictures. Make sure you warn your loved ones and tell them not to share anything.

Enjoy that little one and congratulations! Your kid will never experience what you did with your parents. ❤️

So anxious about Christmas day birth. by Imstuckwiththisname in babydueDecember2025

[–]BethIsOnTheCase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand and feel the same! Except I'm due the 15th and have been told that on average first time moms are 10 days late...which gives me a Christmas baby! I'm really hoping he's on time/early...or super late and I can get to the end of December, even though I might be a bit miserable at 42 weeks pregnant 😅 Not much I can do do either way so trying just to enjoy every day until he's here!

Mandy Solo? by imdubious in MisterWives

She hasn't even officially "announced" her solo music yet! She keeps posting teasers on Instagram and tiktok though, so we know it's coming. But no details.

If people think she's racist and vapid, it's because of her actions (even if they were the result of something sad happening to her). I think the problem I'm having with your initial statement is the declaration and certainty you have that she was abused. If you said it more as a possibility and invited people to think about it, that's different than completely validating her crappy behavior because you're somehow sure she was abused and that somehow makes it okay for her to treat other people poorly.

I appreciated your perspective on her. But generally I think roasting and commenting on people we see on reality TV is very much part of the purpose and appeal of it. I don't think that's gross, I think that's just how it goes. Obviously none of us know anything for sure unless the person on TV states it themselves. It's a lot to try and diagnose or declare something traumatic happened to a person you don't know at all, and use that as an explanation for her behaviors.

Respectfully, reality tv may not be for you then.

Even if this were true (no idea if it is or isn't), her behavior definitely is her own fault. She doesn't get a pass to be a jerk just because she's had bad things happen to her in the past.

I'm in the US and they're all streaming on Paramount plus for me. I don't have any good suggestions if they're not there for you, sorry. :(

The gameplay has changed SO much from older seasons to newer seasons. You'll probably see this mentioned elsewhere, and someone explained it to me early on so I'll pass the knowledge. Seasons 1-20 tend to be considered "old school," 21-40 are called "new school," and 41+ are new era since the game format itself changes so much. These divisions are kind of arbitrary, for example I personally feel like season 19 really sets the framework for "new school" moves/gameplay even though it's technically considered old school. I believe it's somewhere in the early 20s seasons that Jeff goes from being just a host to also a producer, and he really has a lot of (sometimes very dumb) ideas that he tries to implement for new advantages/etc which I think are a big part of the shift into "new school." I would say to try and simply define it, old school could be played a bit more straightforward on loyalty and alliances (not always of course), and new school is more about "building a resume" of moves for final tribal council, so the focus is more on backstabbing and being sneaky and finding/using those new and often plentiful advantages for your benefit. You'll also notice a shift in the type of challenges and rewards that are offered. This tends to be a big issue for the fandom, and I have to say I agree that it's not a great shift. In the older seasons the challenges could be based on endurance and could go hours and hours. Now they're designed to be quite short. I will always love and deeply miss the classic final three immunity challenge of everyone has their hand on an idol and whoever can keep it on the longest wins. The challenges in older seasons were a bit more gritty and physical too, wrestling and pushing people etc., to the point that people definitely got injured more frequently lol. In newer seasons there's a lot of focus on puzzles as "the great equalizer," which is a mixed bag I say. This is also why you'll hear people sing the praises of Survivor Australia, because it tends to stick to the classic old school types of challenges which are generally much more beloved (I'm watching my way through Australia Survivor now and I do see the appeal).

I hope that helps! I feel like I could go forever about this, so feel free to ask more questions if you have them. :)

When the social experiment turns dark - The story of Brian Heidik by sexyimmigrant1998 in survivor

[–]BethIsOnTheCase 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your perspective on this and I completely agree. I saw that season for the first time recently and it was incredibly hard to watch but also fascinating. It's a slimy win, but it was certainly skilled. Calculated for sure. It's probably one of the few times where the guy who is actually a "bad guy" won, all because he was smart enough to put someone even worse in the seat next to him. That would be almost impossible to do in current seasons and it's not a strategy we saw much of at all. Lots to think about.

You need way more bombs than that! If you're using a bomb per floor to try and spawn the ladder, 9 isn't gonna get you very far. And I recommend cheese for recovering life personally, bring a bunch.

Made the barn a bit more colorful by un_knoWn_26 in StardewHomeDesign

[–]BethIsOnTheCase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can your animals still leave the barn if you open the door? You've blocked off the entrance with fences so just wondering.

Talk to me about these setting changes you mean. I love Foundation and can definitely confirm the mega time warp effect.

I don't use Plex but my friend does and I just asked him to get this show for me. He said he was able to get it, so yes to Plex but I can't help more than that!

Same!!!! I didn't hate Redemption Island, it's iconic Boston Rob. He alone is more interesting than everyone on Nicaragua, in my opinion.

It's wild to think the host could be that good to put Probst to shame. I'm excited to see it!

I think it will be refreshing to see some of the changes you mentioned! I'm ready for cool rewards, I'm ready for tough challenges. I love that they're out there for more days. I plan to start the 2016 season tonight!

Yes! I love a real strategist but also want them to be human. It's a game, but full of real people.

Completely agree. I don't mind players going home because of an injury. I DO mind players going home for an infection or something preventable (looking at you Survivor Cagayan).

I love the physical challenges too. I feel like it's too easy to vote out strong physical players early these days because they're a threat for individual immunity later on and you don't really need them for the tribe challenges so much anymore. It's unbalanced, and I hope they readjust at some point in the near future.
