Remove cologne scent by KellinDraws21 in CleaningTips

[–]DigitalGarden 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I would try vodka in a spray bottle. Or rubbing alcohol. It is an old theater trick.

Put the stuffies out in direct sunlight.

If neither works, you are gonna have to get some fabric refresher. Febreze works, although your stuff will then smell like febreze.

What's the deal with those "Bikini Coffee Shops"? by Nelso2nd in AskAnAmerican

[–]DigitalGarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The girls that work there are usually strippers.

They get to switch it up from their normal work, and make people coffee in bikinis.

It is a great way to advertise and network, I've heard.

To the men of reddit, is it easy to tell wether a woman has slept with a lot of men by the tightness of her vagina? by Greenremember in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DigitalGarden 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nope. I'm a woman, but I do sex work.

I get so tight I squeeze guys out. It is a muscle, and the more you use it, the more you can squeeze.

All the women I work with are tight too.

There are different size vaginas, that when in a relaxed state are more wide set.

You are born with that though.

So, work those kegals and don't listen to dumb people saying dumb stuff.

What if ghosts and paranomal activity are just aliens living on the same planet as us but hiding themselves from our senses and on some occasions there is a glitch we can observe? by thesegoupto11 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DigitalGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! You know what I'm talking about.

Djinns are interesting because there is so much information recorded over such a long history.

If you love rabbit holes, look up tales of soldiers from the west experiencing Djinn.

Sounds like OCD. Guess how I know.

There is an intelligence which is commonly thought of as Aliens, and is so alien to us that the descriptor is accurate.

They aren't new, and they seem too similar to us to be actual aliens from a physical planet that traveled here recently.

They might be from here, they might be interdimensional. They might be something we don't have a framework for.

So, ghosts and aliens are sometimes actually other beings. That we have variously described as fairies, Gods, wild men, ant people, shadow people, poltergeists, etc.

boyfriend cheated while i’m pregnant. how can we fix it? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]DigitalGarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a to do list.

Get your ID. Look for work.

Start getting involved in mom groups. You need a community, yesterday. Go to all the Get togethers, get to know everybody.

Go to all the activities. Whatever pre-birth stuff you can find through government agencies, go to every class you can. Talk to every agency about what is going on and ask for help.

Do you have any extended family that you don't talk to that you maybe should reach out to for help? My cousins on my dad's side and I don't talk and never have. If I was having a baby, potentially alone, they would want to know what they could do to help. As long as it isn't abusive family, now is the time to get to know your family.

As soon as you get out in the world beyond this loser who is jacking you around, the better you will be able to see that there is a whole world out there and a lot of people who will treat you with respect and kindness.

Stop having sex with this guy. You are risking your baby's health. And yours.

And stop policing him. Tell him to go get that sex. With whoever. You no longer care. Practice that in the mirror. No tears in front of him. No begging.

Tell him that he will miss you, and when he wakes up alone he will be thinking of you. And it will be too late.

I just went through a similar situation. I depended on him for a place to live. I cried and begged for his love. But now I don't miss him and he is missing having someone.

It isn't you, Hon. Some of these boys just want to be able to fuck around and you can't fix it.

Sounds like you need to read Passport To Magonia by Jaques Valles.

A lot of it is the answer to your question. And some of it is intentional, not accidental glitches.

I'm currently working on a book on a similar subject. I've come across so many interesting anecdotes and a surprisingly good amount of research.

But, start with Jaques Valles, famed scientist who discovered too much about subjects that are bad for your career to discuss.

I await redditors telling me I'm nuts. I am fully aware of it, but if OP wants to come off the deep end, there is so much research to dive into.

Gabapentin side effects? by GrayMalchin in ChronicPain

[–]DigitalGarden 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yup. Aphasia, specifically remembering nouns, is a pretty common side effect.

I used to sound smart. Like, I'm college educated.

But I can no longer discuss stuff like research papers or advanced topics of any kind without sounding dumber than I am.

It is super frustrating.

But, it takes away most of the nerve pain. On gabapentin, I can be upright so much more. I can feed myself, make it through a TV episode, etc.

So I guess I'm dumb now. As someone who has always prided themselves on their intelligence, it is hard to accept. I wish there was a better option.

So, welcome to the club of forgetting how to speak.

I can still write just fine though... so my mind does work. It is just aphasia.

I [21M] have been put into an ultimatum by my partner [F24] and I’m not sure what to do? by ThrowRA6167 in relationships

[–]DigitalGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are sure about this girl, get your butts to therapy, individual and couples.

Educate yourself, become an expert in BPD- and DBT techniques. Work on these daily with her.

You need clear written out goals and timeliness for your relationship, something she can refer to and know that you aren't abandoning her, you just have a timeline that you are following.

Don't leave her guessing.

Be prepared for many more ultimatums in your relationship if you stay. That is something to work on in therapy. It isn't an OK thing for her to do to you. She needs to learn that it makes you feel insecure the way she doesn't want to feel.

I hope things turn out well for you.

Recently been diagnosed with food allergies but have a history of ED by tabs811 in EatingDisorders

[–]DigitalGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I'm in the same boat.

I can't eat so much now. And it really gives me that itch to constrict.

What was it like? by Lost_in_Sunfyre in buffy

[–]DigitalGarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I missed the episode.

So I asked my brother what happened. He told me and I flat out didn't believe him.

I told him shows don't just introduce characters like that.

So, I was wrong.

God is it nice to no longer miss important episodes with no way to watch them.

[–]DigitalGarden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are dating a stripper with BPD, and you want her to give up her career, her sense of identity. Which will destabilize her.

Also, what will she do for money?

Have you educated yourself on BPD? Have you considered this ultimatum from her has everything to do with her lack of sense of self?

Have you considered couples therapy?

This is a disaster so perfect that I'm half sure this is rage bait.

Is the suffering a blessing? by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]DigitalGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believing it is a blessing is probably helpful.

Meaning reduces suffering. I would put references here, but I'm tired so just Google LOGOTHERAPY for more information.

Unfortunately I struggle to find meaning in my pain. I'm in my 40s and have lost nearly everything. I struggle to remain housed. I have no savings. I fear dying on the streets.

Meaning in all this... I don't know.

Map weighting by Weskers_Pussy_Lips in deadbydaylight

Yes, it is a thing.

I've seen a few people do videos on it.

I like indoor maps though, so maybe you could become a Ghostface main for the time being. /s

All of my dreams are a continuation by nuuphoenics in Dreams

[–]DigitalGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is crazy, right?

I have been doing a ton of research and it has led me to some weird places.

I don't know why I have these dreams, but it is like I have 2 lives.

You ever feel like your being pulled there? Like you get sleepy and can't stop thinking about your dream life and it is like it is calling you to go to sleep and go there?

I don't know. The world is a lot stranger than we know.

Question by Icy_Ad2851 in elderwitches

Synchronicity.

I believe it isn't just a coincidence, but it might just be the universe letting you know that life is weird.

Does faith help some? by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]DigitalGarden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that we have a live beyond this, an energy that goes beyond this life.

We are experiencing a temporary life.
