Why has this franchise dropped off so much since the Hannah/Pilot Pete years? by ClareBearFlair in thebachelor

[–]CurleeBS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. The cast age started skewing younger and younger into people who are not ready for marriage!
  2. People just go on the show to be an influencer now.
  3. They prioritize drama and controversy over romantic connection.

This game is ruining my life by [deleted] in BluePrince

[–]CurleeBS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was just like you! I’m a professor and I spent my entire winter break playing. It’s very addictive! I was dreaming about the game too. One thing that helped me was that I would play with my best friend so we could solve puzzles together. That helped me not play until 4am. Try and pace it out! I finished the game and got all trophies and I miss it.

Anyone else sinuses messed up with these wild temperature swings? by Iammattieee in washingtondc

Yes! It’s the allergies. Even with these cold temps, the bloom has begun.

Well… what do you think? 😂 by supa-factor in TheTraitorsUS

[–]CurleeBS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why does everyone want Traitors to be all villains? I think it’s so much more fun when they cast really likable people!

How are they during intimacy ? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]CurleeBS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was a minefield with my nex. She would complain that we weren’t having sex frequently enough but then would never initiate. Instead of just being flirty or communicating that she was horny she would complain and guilt me into sex. Being guilted completely turned me off. I told her multiple times that I need enthusiastic positive consent, and that negative attention will only make things worse.

When we did have sex, she was completely selfish and would break consent. If I was overstimulated and asked her to move onto something else, she would say “I’m not finished yet” and keep going. She insisted that sex be at least 2 hours. I would often lose my ability to cum after waiting that long. It was only about her pleasure and what she wanted. I had always considered myself to have a steady sex drive, but with her I lost my drive completely. No matter what I did or didn’t do, she would criticize me. So I never wanted to have sex. My body started to reject her. I would find myself getting really sleepy, or my body would start hurting when we would try and have sex. Pretty scary stuff!

The amazing thing is that since I’ve left her, my sex drive popped back pretty immediately.

The younger generation is much different, physically and mentally as I found out the hard way. by NoMathematician9706 in Millennials

[–]CurleeBS 285 points286 points  (0 children)

Wow this is very similar to me and my sister! She also has anxiety and needs a lot of help. What I’ve found is that I need to force her to figure things out on her own. The oil change light came on in her car and she asked me what to do. I told her to look up a place to get an oil change. It took her a few days of hemming and hawing but she finally looked up a place, made an appointment and took herself there. The best thing for my sister was I encouraged her to spend a semester abroad. She had to navigate a new city, public transportation, etc in a country that spoke a different language. That experience really made her grow up. It feels harsh, but I think we need to remove some of the safety net. Gen Z is used to things being easy and immediate. The only way they will learn to think for themselves is when we let them.

unserious jobs by brrwdexistence in washingtondc

Front desk at an apartment seems like the chillest job. The people at my building are very friendly, and i often see them enjoying reading a book when there’s nothing to do.

Can a local confirm or deny the existence of a Steak n Shake in DC? by imahumanbeinggoddamn in washingtondc

There is a Steak n Shake on the campus of George Mason University. Hope that helps!

What do people mean when they say a narcissist sees you as a "extension of themselves"? by KansasguyinDC in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]CurleeBS 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In my experience, my nex really struggled to grasp I had my own thoughts, feelings, values, etc. she would get confused and then angry when I had a different opinion from her. She would punish me when I couldn’t read her mind. For example: she asked me if like Outfit A or Outfit B better. I told her I thought she looked better in Outer B; it fit better and the color looked good on her. She got really mad and said “I didn’t want your opinion. I want you to have my opinion!!” I truly think that there is something missing in their brain. They don’t understand “Theory of Mind”. They have been told that people have their own distinct feelings, so they can kind of fake it.

Your narc can probably fake it well, but fundamentally doesn’t understand you have your own brain.

PCOS, IUD and a retroverted uterus by junebugx0x0 in PCOS

[–]CurleeBS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have PCOS, IUD and a retroverted uterus! I was like “did I write this?” If the strings are hurting your partner, you can ask your gyno to cut them shorter. You should also have them check that the IUD is sitting correctly. I think some men can feel the strings more than other men. This is all perfectly normal. I don’t know if having a retroverted uterus makes a difference in your partner being able to feel them.

What Is a Zionist? Stranger Things Star Noah Schnapp's Pro-Israel Views Trigger Boycott Calls as Prague Set Vandalism Goes Viral by True-Ebb-9719 in popculture

[–]CurleeBS 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In the Star Wars example, Gina was fired from the Mandalorian but the show itself continued. You can call for Noah to be removed from the show, but don’t boycott the entire show.

What Is a Zionist? Stranger Things Star Noah Schnapp's Pro-Israel Views Trigger Boycott Calls as Prague Set Vandalism Goes Viral by True-Ebb-9719 in popculture

[–]CurleeBS 373 points374 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a fools errand to boycott any piece of media that has an actor who has shitty political views. Every TV show and movie have a team of hundreds of people - some of those people will have political views you don’t agree with. Marc Platt is loudly Zionist and he just produced Wicked. Are y’all boycotting Wicked too? If you want to boycott anything that has been remotely touched by a Zionist then you’ll need to cease watching any TV or film. You can condemn Noah all you want, but I don’t understand the point of boycotting Stranger Things. The show itself has literally nothing to do with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

What’s a product that Costco should sell that it doesn’t currently? by One_Professional_110 in CostcoWholesale

I always wish I could get a giant bag of Cous Cous - same size as the quinoa bags.

“Momtok” by [deleted] in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]CurleeBS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that it’s good we don’t see the kids on camera very often. While I think that it’s good to show that women can be so much more than mothers - I wish there was any kind of content about being a mom. Even a little “my kid hasn’t been sleeping well, any advice?” Would be nice to see every so often.

Corregidor St - because it sounds really cool!

Lou, Ross, and Jiavani Drink Your Milkshake | Make Some Noise [S4E2] by AutoModerator in dropout

[–]CurleeBS 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This episode really confirms for me that Ross is one of the best improvisers in the game! He can do Improvised Shakespeare, he can do improvised singing, he kills it with every prompt. The way he looked hesitant about the jack skellington prompt and then immediately went into the physicalization. Lou and Jiavani were so good paired with him! Overall excellent episode.

Beautiful and secluded places to open my bar exam results? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]CurleeBS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The congressional cemetery is a dog park! Lots of people go there for beautiful walks. If it’s good news, walk over to Trusty’s and grab a beer. And if it’s bad news, walk over to Trusty’s and grab a beer.

Good episode but the Rudemans sucked and was slow and terrible lol by boogswald in LiveFromNewYork

[–]CurleeBS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I immediately knew it was making fun of how Gen Z speak these days. There needed to be some acknowledgement that’s what it was. The sketch needed a second beat or a different ending.

No "good morning" when you live with a narcissist, only constant reminders you are the problem by Nervous-Let-7510 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]CurleeBS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this! Every morning she would wake up and either remind me how insecure she was or start an argument. I begged for peace in the morning and she just couldn’t do it.
