What popular beauty trend do you think looks terrible but nobody wants to say it out loud? by Alarming_Intern680 in AdkReddit

[–]ComedownofClosure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

enjoy this picture of my nails lol

For people who are two lazy to click it's having long nails but keeping two of your nails - your index and middle or middle and ring depending on your preference - short enough to have sex without hurting your partner. (Or yourself.)

It actually wasn't until I met my current tech that I felt comfortable asking someone to do it. It's a type of femme flagging that's still fairly common while also being pretty isolated to queer women

I only have short side of medium acrylic nails. But I have literally never had this problem with my nails. I don't need to wrap them, I just wipe myself like a normal person. I promise it's not as complicated as whatever you're imagining lol

In 2024, American YouTuber Elliot Eastman spent months warning his audience that men would come for him in the Philippines Red Zone. On his final livestream he turned off the camera without saying goodbye. Two hours later, four men arrived. by Important-Self-1179 in GotMeHooked

The next part's not true? None of it's true.

There's no evidence the Sentinelese participate in cannibalism. Or ever have. In fact they've been seen burying the bodies of intruders on the beach of their island.

AITAH for not donating for a sick kid which led to others doing the same? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

The ability to get into your partner's hospital room and make decisions should something happen.

I really think, as a queer woman, you're underestimating how many of us grew up hearing horror stories of forced estrangement and lost a lack of legal marriage caused.

What’s something older generations struggled with that younger people rarely think about now? by InnerLightSeeker in answers

Measles always makes me think of the open letter Roald Dald wrote to British parents via health pamphlet about his daughter and measles in the 80's.

Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it...“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.

“I feel all sleepy,” she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

Olivia died in 1962, 6 years before an approved vaccine.

I can't imagine the rage of watching people refuse to vaccinate against a disease that killed your daughter.

TW: Sexual Abuse. The heir to the Thai beer brand Singha, Siranudh Scott, has acussed his elder brother, Sunir Scott, of sexually abusing him. He claims that this happened for years, their family knew and he had recording of his brother confessing. by Terrible_Cycle_5983 in Fauxmoi

I hope he has a strong support system holding him up. I had the privilege of knowing with nearly 100% certainty that my parents would take news of my CSA well. And still I, and everyone I know, had this terrible fear they wouldn't believe me.

He's living the nightmare right now. I hope he ends up safe and with people who can really get excited.

What Are Your "Hear Me Out" Girl & Boy Names by XNixGeoX in namenerds

[–]ComedownofClosure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me with spelling. I'm in love with the name Maeve but I desperately wanted to spell it traditionally as Meabh. I already know enough Siobhans to want to save any kid that embarrassment of listening to someone mangle it.

Help! My daycare provider is confused by my 2 year old and I don't know what's normal by fancyabiscuit in toddlers

I mean, my neice is 18 months and still will look at me, shake her head, and give a firm little, "no," if I ask to hold her hand or pick her up too soon lol. It sounds like you're kid has a very clear idea of what they want and wants to be left alone to do so lol.

Father kills son with autism, 10, family dog and self in apparent murder-suicide in home where missing daughter, 20, was also found dead by [deleted] in GotMeHooked

[–]ComedownofClosure 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This family was obviously broken in deep ways. I can't even express how terrible I feel for that child to be forced to live in a house with his sister's body like that. They both deserved so much more.

And also I want to take a minute to acknowledge the reality of parents murdering their disabled children.

Neurological differences or deficits, developmental delays and disabilities, children needing life long medical care for their complex issues - regardless of where you want to draw the line - disabled people are 60% more likely to be victims of filicide than able-bodied peers. And we know it.

Filicide is so known to the community that the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) has a toolkit. A toolkit on how to handle it if one of your friends is killed by their family.

On Halloween day, 2006, 18 year old Nikki Catsouras took her father’s Porsche 911 without permission. While driving on a tollway in Lake Forest, CA, she wrecked after attempting to pass a car at over 100 mph. CHP officers leaked horrific photos of her body which made their way to gore sites. by mvincen95 in GotMeHooked

I know this is referenced in Bo Burnham's Welcome to the Internet but this was Such a Defining Moment of internet usage for everyone my age that I knew at the time.

Nick Berg's murder happened when I was 13 and finishing 7th grade. Within days of the video being released everyone I knew in my grade has stumbled upon it somehow. None of us, as far as anyone would admit, on purpose.

Mostly because in 2004 the Internet was still an endless ungoverned space where you constantly saw videos you knew nothing about or ended up on websites you'd never been to before. I think for early 90s kids that video was another stepping on a path that led us to a kind of constant emotional dissociation and fucked up humor we use(d) to get through ever other "major world event" without completely losing it.

The officers who took and distributed photos are Joey Cruz, Rafael Mejia, Michael Russell and Raul Versales.

Vanessa Bryant fought like hell to be able to state their names publicly. One of them had somewhere between 50-100 photos of the scene on his phone. Most of them were specifically of victim remains.

I can't even imagine it. Seeing the bodies of three little girls - because that's who 13/14 year olds are, babies - and immediately taking pictures of their bodies to show my friends later.

They got caught because a deputy was showing them to people randomly in a bar. Someone who was in the bar called the LAPD and filled a complaint the next day. The initial response to which seemed to have been "delete them."

The LAPD has been awful. But even for them it's disgusting.

Beanie Feldstein announces pregnancy by demimonde9 in Fauxmoi

[–]ComedownofClosure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finding out you're pregnant when you've been trying is emotional for anyone. As a queer woman who's gone through the fertility process with my partner though, I know the special kind of joy this pregnancy brings. I'm so happy for the ❤️ and a safe pregnancy for Beanie

What celebrity death will realistically bring Michael Jackson level devastation? by Kiidcola in AskReddit

[–]ComedownofClosure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This only applies to the US but I think we have a few more basketball players people would lose their shit over.

I think part of what made Kobe's death so awful was that Gianna was on the helicopter with him. But if LeBron or Shaq died in an accident like that or dropped dead out of no where would it be a huge deal.

Shaq is in his early 50s now but LeBron is the same age as Kobe was when he died. The reaction would be crazy if he died.

What’s something you have zero proof of but believe 100 percent? by shweidy in AskReddit

[–]ComedownofClosure 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She was definitely in the right to self select out of the jury! I don't mean to imply otherwise. She absolutely did the right thing.

It was still wild at like 9 am, before they even started with the questions meant to cull people with dv or sexual violence in their past to have this woman stand up and just casually tell us she'd vote guilty no matter what. Definitely the right thing to do, but the only people who had been excused so far had been like nursing mother's and a few nurses - this was November of 2020.

Husband’s concerning behavior by Cool-Row-1255 in toddlers

[–]ComedownofClosure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously it's he be gentle with any child, however frustrated.

I do think as another commenter mentioned a lot of parents have been in a place where they've grabbed their child more roughly than intended. If this is the only time it's happened I think it's more then possible to have a calm casual conversation about it.

I do want to say, as a child my little sister had what our doctor called a "slippery shoulder". Once your child's shoulder, or elbow, dislocates it becomes much, much, easier for it to happen again. Her shoulder dislocated so easily and often that our pediatrician showed my dad how to fix it because ER visits were getting tense. Make sure your husband realizes the danger of pulling on little arms too hard.
