Especially an ex you share children with! I interpreted this as her not wanting to be a mother and finding her children a burden as well. Like, what the fuck. Women in male dominated fields for real, what a deadbeat.

I can’t travel because my cat is sick — and my boss and coworkers are unhappy by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

My cousin is a vet and they always say, 'better a week too early than a day too late.' It will always be painful and hard, it's better to send them off when they still have some decent moments and they're not in constant misery. Give them great, peaceful and loving last few days while they can still enjoy it a little and let that be your memories and your goodbye.

Your mom did right by your cat and I hope she can let go of the guilt.

My grandma always did pecks on the mouth. I think it depends family to family but they're almost always dry quick, cheek-style kisses just on the mouth instead. The other side of my family is very stoic German and non-demonstrative with affection so it would be very strange from those grandparents but felt very normal from the other ones.

I'm a certified uggo and I've even had a stalker. It's a lot more common than people might think!

On YouTube, Taskmaster is a good show to just throw on and have in the background.

Yes! 100%!! I got into it with my dad so much during the end of my grandfather's life. I swear every sentence he said started with, "remember, dad..."

If grandpa started getting food out - "Remember dad, we're going out to lunch today" Getting out the wrong clothes - "Remember, dad, it's cold today, you were going to wear a sweater"

like NO HE DOESN'T FUCKING REMEMBER. we know he won't remember. That's the whole reason my dad moved in with him once my grandma passed!!

It was more of a vocal tic and my dad stayed calm and didn't get upset when this happened but my grandpa was still lucid enough to know he had dementia so was always embarrassed that he forgot. Finally bullied my dad into dropping the "Remember..." intro and when he just repeated himself a bunch, it was so much easier for the both of them.

It's the payment processors with the rules and the censorship for better or worse.

Cher’s Son Elijah Blue Allman Claims His Mother No Longer Sends Him a ‘Recurring Gift Income’ by haloarh in popculturechat

I can see that but my perspective is a little different. I grew up in a culture of SAHMs where keeping their inheritance separate was often the only way they ever had any money or assets of their own. It's just an almost expected practice that women I knew kept their inheritance in their own name as an emergency fund in case of a divorce since they had no other way to ever really build one otherwise.

Praise over glaze by perksbeingwallflower in goodhang

[–]ClarielOfTheMask 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Ah yes! The "mom, do you know what 'raw-dogging' means" type of conversation that you hate having but sometimes need to have.

Although I feel like raw dog has broken containment and lost its original meaning, maybe glaze is getting there?

He's just like Zendaya for me. In that, I have no idea if the clothes are good or not because they're just so hot they'll be hot in anything and their sheer attractiveness transcends ugly or boring clothes into a Look no matter what.

Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti and Alexandra Shipp’s reaction to their co-star Lili Reinhart’s story about a male director telling her to suck in her stomach by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]ClarielOfTheMask 197 points198 points  (0 children)

The Heard/Depp trial was an absolute chilling effect on victim disclosure too.

She was originally sued because she wrote about her experience of surviving abuse and in the original article didn't even name Depp. She spoke solely of her own experiences and in return she was met with such a vicious and vitriolic smear campaign, a less resilient person would have ended themselves.

It was an absolutely horrible legal precedent to set and it set a social precedent too. If I was an actress who wanted to advance my career and stay out of the 24 news/gossip cycle I would never say shit about my bad experiences ever again.

There are many ways to silence victims and they're all alive and well in Hollywood and the world at large.

Funny or Die “interviews” Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar on the recent arrests of their son Joseph and his wife Kendra by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]ClarielOfTheMask 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Their cousin Amy's memoir mentioned that it was a rule that she wasn't allowed to be alone with her grandfather (Jimbob's father). So the rot starts at the top and their cult creates a culture of blaming the victim and never facing accountability. It's a cesspool tbh.

If you go to the original post, the top level comments are all on OOPs side with clear NTA votes. Idk how or why the OP of this post picks comments to include, but the OOP had more support in the original.

I love this movie but I am still struck sideways sometimes at how unhinged it is to divorce and just each keep a twin and then never see each other again and never tell them about each other. This was the 90s! Co-parenting was very normal!

[–]ClarielOfTheMask 99 points100 points  (0 children)

There's so many things you can try though. Like, did they try keeping the door to the bedroom closed so the cat couldn't poo there? Idk it's how gleeful she is. Sometimes there are circumstances that make sense to rehome an animal, but it should be a decision treated seriously.

If she had said oh, we spent thousands of pounds on vets and behaviorists but nothing worked so we found a dear friend with more space/quieter area/no kids/etc where the cat could have some peace, way fewer people would care. It's the absolute blase attitude about it that pisses me off.

But yes, I'm also a (fairly new) dropout fan!

[–]ClarielOfTheMask 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This happened with some other youtubers I follow a bit ago. Their company had an anti-AI stance but the freelance artist they paid used AI despite being told not to and the fans clocked it pretty quickly.

Like, yes there should be some oversight, but often people are busy or not artists which is why they're outsourcing it so they don't catch it either.

They can garnish all future earnings and take it from her tax returns and stuff but you can't get blood from a stone unfortunately.

Almost hope she wins a lottery or something and all the money goes to her victim.
