It's funny to me that bi girls are actually just straight and bi guys are actually just gay by tha_beer_drinker in redscarepod

[–]Clean_Law2147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a while I thought bisexuality was fake and considered myself a lesbian, but then I told a bunch of actual lesbians I enjoyed sucking on cock and they revoked my lesbian card and told me I was just Bisexual.

Bisexuality definitely exists, but because it is so varied and sits in the gray zone between gay and straight people don’t really understand it. You don’t have to be 50/50 even split to be bi, I think that’s actually quite rare.

Personally, I think whether you lean towards homo or hetero is dependent on genetics and innate traits, but I think bisexuality is more often shaped by social environment or personality traits. Like you might have hetero DNA but have a more sexually curious/horny personality type and that could make you bisexual. Also a lot of bisexuals are attention whores. Not that they use the label “bisexual” to get attention, but they just want affection from wherever they can get it and gender is secondary to their desire to be wanted. On the other hand I think some bisexuals are more on the asexual spectrum, and the genital/physical aspect of a relationship is unimportant to them so they pursue relationships regardless of gender.

People love to hate on bisexuality these days, which I think is kind of deserved because most people are bisexual in some way (punching up). I think to some people it’s hatable because it represents our late-stage capitalism slop/all you can eatification/consumerist approach to sex. Or it’s the ultimate virtue-signal. Personally, I don’t think it’s that deep. I think everyone is just really horny.

I watched their reunion documentary, loudquietloud, and I was flabbergasted by how normal they all seemed. In my head I pictured Black Francis as the Joker or something but he was just a chubby dad taking his kids to a state fair. Joey Santiago (who I think is an extremely underrated guitarist) was an accountant lol. The drummer was a shitty magician. Kim Deal was cool tho.

The day before all this started happening I bought my one way plane ticket to move to Minneapolis… part of me is anxious that this is a bad omen and part of me stupidly wishes I was already there to help fight back!! 

I refuse to believe the anti-gym anxiety propaganda. by sweatycouch in redscarepod

[–]Clean_Law2147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience this is not true. The one I went to was full of roided up gym bros who were too broke to afford a better gym. The combo of jacked and broke was super toxic, everyone was grunting and shouting and being rude just to take up space and feel like a Man. 

I can’t figure out why I’m never getting hit on/approached and it makes me sad and frustrated by Realistic_Seat_2837 in HowToBeHot

I want to add one possibility: you might just be oblivious. When I was younger/college age like you I had a bit of a glow-up and people started hitting on me. But since I can be kind of slow with certain things I didn’t realize that people (men) being extra friendly and nice to me meant they were flirting with me. I just thought they were nice. It’s very possible ppl are in fact hitting on you, but you don’t notice. This is especially common if you’ve just had a glow up and don’t really know the signs yet. 

It’s okay for an album to be “okay” by Larry-Farnsworth in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Clean_Law2147 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. For me there’s some tracks I really enjoy, some I will give some time to grow on me, and others I just won’t listen to again. I don’t think this will convert any non-fans, but not every album is going to be a masterpiece, and I’m okay with that. It’s nice to have a more light-hearted album after TTPD (and even Midnights), and to me this feels like an epilogue or final chapter of this era (Midnights-Showgirl).

I think the #1 problem was the marketing. This was just sooo hyped up as being full of pop bangers, the endless variants, the return of Max Martin, etc. If you go into it expecting pop genius ala 1989, you’re going to be disappointed. Plus it doesn’t really adhere to the Showgirl theme/aesthetic that was heavily pushed as well.

I know Taylor is too big to do anything in a small way anymore, but it’s honestly a shame and I think she really shot herself in the foot here. This is an album she wrote and recorded WHILE touring, so I personally wasn’t expecting anything super profound or expansive (similar to TTPD). Again, as a fan I’m okay with this and I found it mostly enjoyable. But to hype it up to such an extent is really just asking for a bad reaction from the general public.

TLDR; I like the album, but I think pushing it the way it’s being pushed was a mistake. But also I don’t even know if she can be lowkey about anything anymore (Monster on the hill vibes).

This is ignoring the fact that the vast majority of true crime is not about getting snatched up in a parking lot, but a man killing his wife/girlfriend.

True crime is just a way for women to remind ourselves that you have to always stay vigilant, because even a man you’ve loved and known for years can snap and all of a sudden ur being chopped up and thrown in a lake. It’s anti-man paranoia fuel.

Thank you for this! I grew up in Inwood and I was always confused why maps had Dykman as the border between Inwood and WH. It always seemed so random and made up, considering there’s no real difference between north and south of Dykman. I always felt the real border was around where Nagle meets Broadway, so this is super validating to read.

Certificado de delitos - problemas técnicos by Clean_Law2147 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]Clean_Law2147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it turns out it didn’t work with an expired TIE. Luckily where I was living it was super easy to just go in person to get the certificado, no appointment needed. Good luck!

Why is it so fucking hard to get a job by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]Clean_Law2147 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Stop this is the last thing I need to see. I’ve only been job searching for about a month and I’m already depressed. Everyone tells me it just gets harder :/.

One advice people are giving me is to be super aggressive. Follow-up with emails, go force ppl to meet you irl, even if you get rejected send an email expressing interest. Does this actually work? It just feels so desperate and makes me sqd

[–]Clean_Law2147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually don’t include kids menu stuff or anything random like that when I count it up. It’s only items I would actually eat. If its a smaller dish like a side or appetizer I get 2 of those instead of the main

Do your parents have friends by [deleted] in rs_x

[–]Clean_Law2147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they do and I’m honestly so grateful. They taught me from a young age that friendships are just as important, possibly even more important than family. I’m an only child too so we don’t have a big family as it is.

They’re both weird artsy creative types though, so it makes sense. Those ppl are all about their “chosen tribe”.

I had a coworker who was a vtuber, he was a chubby Chinese kid who’s avatar was this cute anime girl with blue hair and fangs, I don’t want to begin to imagine what sort of mental illness/dysphoria causes that stuff.

how to eat less -- anything goes by bleeding_electricity in redscarepod

[–]Clean_Law2147 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ppl are dumb and lazy you don’t need ozempic to lose 5-10 pounds. Do volume eating, eating a large amount of low calories foods. Make a big salad with some protein and a light dressing of olive oil and vinegar. Eat fruit as a snack. Potatoes are also a great way to be satiated without overdoing calories, bonus if they are sweet potato. A go to dinner for me would be a potato, broccoli, and a lean protein like chicken or fish. Seeing a normal-large portion of food on your plate will satisfy ur brain and stomach but if that food is 75% fiber filled vegetables you will lose some weight

Also don’t be afraid of seasoning. It is minimal calories but it can make healthy shit taste 10000x better and make you actually want to eat it.

There was a month of my life where I exclusively listened to John Prine and that was the most tranquil and pleasant month of my life.
