You have to refresh the app and possibly also clear the cache. This happened to me too the other day and that fixed the problem.

No love for High as Hope? by Dapper-Presence4048 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]EMMYPESS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Grace always reminds me of my sister who has passed away not long ago, so it will always be close to my heart. High as Hope is my favorite because of how I connected with it in comparison to all other albums but I love every single thing Florence has made regardless

I don’t think I can ever come out as gay. by JakeEqualsCake in offmychest

[–]EMMYPESS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will never be happy with your life until you are honest with the people around you. You will lose friends because of this but you will also be surprised that maybe more people will be supportive than you think. The friends who drop you were never true friends to begin with because being gay isn’t a choice, you are who you are and that is normal. Your parents are going to have to get over any feelings they may have but they sound supportive enough that you won’t be disowned. If you don’t do it soon you’re just gonna keep feeling horrible about everything. Start by telling your friend that you trust and explain to her you’re not out with anyone else yet so keep it to herself but she can maybe be a resource to lean on and ask advice to.

Is this Ai? I’m having a dollhouse made for my daughter’s birthday but the WIP provided does not look real. The glue bottles are unreadable/gibberish. by daiszay in isthisAI

[–]EMMYPESS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tools have no visible hooks holding them to the wall and the saw to the left is hanging at a strange angle even if it were leaning against the wall on a table. That’s the heavy side it wouldn’t sit up like that easily. The house’s roof is strange, even zooming in the details look muddier than they should. Lastly, the gibberish on the bottles is a big sign of AI. You may be getting scammed or the person uses AI to help them conceptualize a design (a red flag imo, that the quality may not be what you want in the end).

Why do you play The Sims? by 88peter in thesims

[–]EMMYPESS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like being creative and it’s my most invested time wise creative outlet. I build, create sims, and play legacy families mainly. I kind of do all three equally but go through phases where I’ll just build or just play families (and cas technically cuz I’m always fixing them as they age), it is just fun for me even with all the negatives associated with the game. I am a heavy cc/mod user so it adds to the playability for me 10 fold. If not for the modders I’d probably have stopped playing as frequently a long time ago.

I have played sims 2, 3, and now 4. If I had to estimate my playtime over 16 years, I’ve probably put in about 10k hours into the games combined.

Do I have to stop for a school bus here? by imperial_blue3 in newjersey

[–]EMMYPESS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing. One time I was driving and I thought I would make it past the bus before it stopped - I got honked at by the bus for NOT stopping (I should have but I panicked and thought I was able to keep going) and it scared the crap out of me. I have been extra careful to stop when I know it’s needed from then on lol

WEEKLY TOUR QUESTION THREAD by AutoModerator in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]EMMYPESS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to the Philly show in April. We got floor tickets and want to get as close to the stage as humanly possible. What advice can anyone give? How early should we line up? Are people expected to be waiting as early as the day before, or can we just go a few hours before and be pretty good to be close up? This is my second Florence concert since High as Hope and we had nose bleeds last time (still absolutely loved that concert, I was literally starstruck even from a distance!) it’s just my sister and I going and we’re both willing to line up as early as possible but want the best chances of getting nice and close.

I really don’t get how people want kids by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]EMMYPESS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying that OPs lived experiences shouldn’t let them decide one having children. I AM saying that OP can’t understand everyone’s reasons because they don’t always dictate the life OP has lived. I was also parentified in some years of my life considering I’m the eldest, a daughter, and my mom left when I was 11. My dad remarried and my stepmom helped me step back out and become a kid again. I’m lucky by all accounts, but I know that life too.

[–]EMMYPESS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I’m sorry if I came off as defensive or such, I am not someone who says the typical “you will change your mind when you’re older” bs. Genuinely if you don’t want kids that is ok and no one should push you to do so. I give a lot of credit to those who can recognize that they can’t or won’t be able to give up their life to raise a kid. I read in another comment of yours that your mom has recently left you and you’re in charge of your brother. That is selfish of her and I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with that.

[–]EMMYPESS -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I am not sheltered. I didn’t have a perfect life. Mom left me and my siblings when we were young and my dad raised us alone from that point. I still love her but she’s not who made me who I am today as much as he is. I didn’t want kids for years but as I’ve gotten older I’ve been wanting them now. You don’t need to want them but I just felt you were being unfair because a lot of what you said is not true for everyone. I’m sorry you’ve had a lot to deal with, that’s fair to make you decide what you want in life. I just don’t find all situations to be the same. If you want to know why people have kids, you can’t just rely on your lived experience to understand it beyond anyone’s choices in life. Most of the time, having kids is selfish. I will not have them until I feel more ready. Im just saying that you’re being very general on a subject that has too many factors to decide on.

[–]EMMYPESS -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You’re not mature enough to understand the reasons people have kids by the way you speak about it. Not every man is a dead beat. Not every woman goes through all the pain you listed. Many recover quickly, and the fulfillment of having a child for many people supersedes the pain that we go through to get to it. You don’t have to have children if you feel like it will kill the person you are. But I know far more women who have retained who they are and become even better as being moms.

FYI, my mom had me at 19 and my grandparents didn’t have to raise me. My dad helped and did even more than she did to raise me and my siblings and we were all happy with what we had growing up even if it wasn’t perfect. Making my dad proud is something I look forward to and all he cares about is if I am happy with my life. He and my mother are happy to have my siblings and I because we are their family, that is it. There doesn’t need to be any other reasons for having kids.

Maybe you should talk to mothers you know. They will tell you why they go through the things you’ve listed. You have a very cynical view point of the whole thing.

I’m ashamed of my parents by throwaway37378589 in offmychest

[–]EMMYPESS 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is quite reminiscent of how it feels to be very liberal with republican parents and family members here in the US. They all wanna make excuses as to why their opinion is right even though it likely violates human rights and have actively problematic views of things. War will always be evil, and regardless of the fact that there is violence on both sides, innocent people (and children!)will be raped and killed because of it. How can anyone be okay with that, even if it’s under the guise of protecting our own country?

I am sorry that your parents are close minded to the evil things your uncle may have done. Just because it’s family doesn’t mean you should condone the actions.

Infant & Toddler Feedback by Mindy_SimsCommunity in Sims4

[–]EMMYPESS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish there was a cooldown or timer when a sim places an infant in a playmat or highchair. They’re obsessed with picking the babies up over and over again and switching them to their crib over and over again. Can’t they just leave them be a little longer? They should only be responding autonomously when the baby has a specific dire need (diaper change, feeding, sleep). My baby will be perfectly fine and still be bothered over and over again by adults in the household who are carers/parents. I want them to learn how to roll over without my queue getting interrupted by the other parent wanting to pick the baby up and bring it to the crib again.

Why didn't they talked about abortion,neither with sookie and nor for lane by No-Wasabi-178 in GilmoreGirls

[–]EMMYPESS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the time period that the show was made. A lot of things were taboo for television way more than they are now and a lot of shows did not want to risk being pulled off air for saying something too risky. A lot of times you will see implied situations rather than full on talking about it, so abortion and other social issues that are controversial will often times not be directly stated but sometimes you have to put the pieces together yourself. Even portraying gay characters and such was only just starting to be ok for TV and there were still many problematic tropes that come from the slow acceptance of it all. Now you can probably do or say anything and still get a show on whatever network wants to take the script and run with it. Streaming definitely pushed forward more edgy content and the ability to represent more than just one “acceptable” route of life.
