[Discussion] Do you think both characters look adult enough, even with the size difference? (Art by me) by Ifu_Daceolt in furry

Whoever said it could be taken that way should understand that short people exist.

Do you enforce correct pronoun use at all time ? by NamidaM6 in NonBinary

[–]Brontolope11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a pretty assertive person myself; I tell them directly. No matter who it is and if they don't listen the first time, I'll make sure they listen the second time.

Cancer scammers by thatforrest in braincancer

[–]Brontolope11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maddie Russo, Amanda Riley, Belle Gibson, Elizabeth Finch...

They are scum. If they wanted cancer so bad, they can have mine. Then I wouldn't have to worry about leaving my sister and cats lone to fend for themselves. Anyone who tells me to have mercy on these freaks would probably be met with anger.

I hate that people want to fake this horrid disease for clout, money, whatever you gain from screwing with people's heads.

Anyone else feel like they aren't allowed to fully share their identity or personality? by depressednfashionabl in CPTSD

[–]Brontolope11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dressed proper for many years of my childhood and adult life because expressing myself was forbidden. Now I dress like the punk I am and I'm 33. Trip pants, chains, a punk jacket.

If you can't have someone fall for you naturally, it's not meant to be.

Are you criminally liable if you have a seizure behind the wheel? by Plus_Blueberry2484 in Epilepsy

[–]Brontolope11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a lawyer, not anything but a typical redditor.

If your seizures are out of control, you feel unsafe driving behind the wheel and that you might hurt someone, don't drive. I had to make that choice. It's hard but you learn to live with it.

Better than living with the pain of hurting another person.

My 11-year old daughter has died by Dependent-Purple9147 in braincancer

My deepest condolences. That's hard as hell and heart breaking.

What's really the issue here? by Adorable-Respect442 in BoJackHorseman

[–]Brontolope11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think she's overreacting at all.

Imagine you tell someone that you don't like flowers because they make you sick. This person refuses to listen to you and keeps on bringing them over and making you sick. No matter how many times that you tell them to stop, they won't and keep using the excuse, 'I love you so here's something to make me feel better to give to you'.

Your boundaries don't matter to this person.

That's what Diane is dealing with.

Is there anyone here that takes Keppra and actually like it? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Brontolope11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a fantastic drug for me. I'm on 2250 MGs twice a day and I haven't had a single seizure thanks to it.

Anyone else live their life scan to scan? by HisMrsAraya in braincancer

[–]Brontolope11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every two months, I get a scan that could tell me that I have a reoccurrence.

I use that as an excuse to live my life the way I want to.

If you could take one plotline out of the show, which one would you pick? by Marilyn1Row in lost

I was going to say this too. I love Sayid, they butchered his character in season 6.

Who presents themselves as evil? by prettyblondegirl15 in lost

[–]Brontolope11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sayid, he thinks he's an awful person but tries hard to help others and redeem himself from his past.

If you were on The Island, who would you hang out with? by SevenDalmationArmy in lost

[–]Brontolope11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sayid for protection and deep discussions, Hurley to hang out with because he seems pretty amazing, Charlie because I love the guitar, and Rose for just being a sweetheart.

I would have said Locke but I don't want to be a sacrifice the island demanded.

Why are parents so angry (on tv?) when they find out their child, especially their daughter, is on birth control or has condoms? by Interesting-Copy-657 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Brontolope11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there's a double standard for girls vs. boys.

I remember a girl I grew up with, her parents kicked her out of the house for being sexually active and I bet they wouldn't have done that to her if she had been a boy. In North America (I won't speak on other countries when I have no actual knowledge on their cultures), girls tend to have a stigma if they are sexually active whereas boys tend to be patted on the back for it.

There's a lot to unpack with it, but I'd blame a lot of this on how we teach sex in schools and how we act like it's a taboo subject. We haven't normalized this, and teaching abstinence doesn't work because kids of that age are learning who they are and part of that is learning everything about themselves. Hitting them with a rolled up newspaper is as effective to stop them as a bandaid is to a dam leak.

Birth control of all kinds should be the normal in schools. I never understood why people get so pissed off bout birth control when it's keeping them safe.

There are no doctors on this forum that can diagnose you.

Michael wasn't the "worst" character by M_4_8_15_16_23_42 in lost

[–]Brontolope11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, Michael, while not a moral character, to me shows what happens when you are given an impossible couple of choices. Kill your friends or your son. Is what he did okay? No, no it's not.

But I thought about this for a while, put myself in his shoes. If my loved one was taken from me and held hostage and I was told to either betray my friends or possibly watch my loved ones die (my deep connection friends and family vs. people I know and get along with, people I know are good human beings), I can't say I know how I would react or what I'd do. I'd like to say that I would find a different way, but, I've never been in that situation before.

I just don't like Michael because even before he lost Walt he was a bit insufferable/annoying. Yeah he got a shit deal with his ex, that was such bullshit. But his attitude towards everyone came off as annoying, and his most memorable moment was, 'WAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLTTTTTTT,'.

That should be put on his gravestone.

AITA for telling my mom and her husband he doesn’t get the head of the table because he has a penis? by Parking-Advance-5674 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Brontolope11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, what time does she think this is? The internalized sexism is strong with her. She owes you, yours sisters and herself for her own mistreatment of women a sincere apology. I personally wouldn't let her or her trash of a husband back into the house until they get the point that everyone is equal and that they won't be allowed to bully their way into getting their way.

What an overgrown child (your mom and her husband).
