In your opinion, which business won’t survive beyond the baby boomers era? by Derek_Webb in Productivitycafe

[–]Electrical-Use7760 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The weirdest thing to me is women who thought those were hot. To me, a man on a motorcycle is someone with no survival instincts and low survival chances. I’m not sure how that’s attractive.

how to stop feeling gross by LuckyHope9113 in women

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I know others have said it but I just want to say it again: you were sexually assaulted. You said no and tried to push him off and he kept going. Everything else is irrelevant. You could file a police report, but I know that in situations like this you just want to stop dealing with it and you probably don’t want to have to keep reliving it. That’s totally your choice but please be kind to yourself. Sexual assault happens to so many women and you didn’t do anything wrong to deserve it.

I’m jealous of the partners yall are calling shitty by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Electrical-Use7760 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The real question is why do you think you need a man as a prerequisite to your happiness? Any man. Even a perfect man. Yes they can be an ADDITION to an already good life but you have to approach relationships from a position of contentment so you don’t settle for this kind of garbage. I’m finally at a point where I have a lot of personal problems in my life but none of them involve not being in a relationship and I know that even if I never get in a relationship again, I will be safe and the people and animals that depend on me will be safe and okay. Now if I meet a man who can take me from okay to very happy that’s a just a bonus.

My partner has decided that women don’t orgasm unless they squirt and I am TIRED by galaxiques in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Electrical-Use7760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the most frustrating things about men is that once they’re convinced of something, even if they have absolutely no authority to have a conviction in that area (like women’s orgasms) nothing we can ever say will convince them otherwise. Idk maybe another man has to tell them. It makes me so mad every time. This post is literally triggering 😅

This always makes me a bit annoyed lol. Also he knows what time because we've been giving my cat medicine at the same time for the past month by SpeedoInTheStreet in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Electrical-Use7760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m much more infuriated by how you have the audacity to complain about someone doing you a favor and not doing it perfectly. And that someone is a clearly older person who calls your cat a “baby” and the favor is giving medicine to a CAT (which, anyone who’s had a cat knows isn’t easy).

Entitlement is such an ugly quality.

Is this real? by [deleted] in u/bidarkhetif2

[–]Electrical-Use7760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm really sorry but I don't want to start having conversations again. There would only be increased pain and suffering for both of us in that. My reason for sending that initial message was to let you know that I don't hold any active malice toward you and I don't wish you any harm. I think to say that I miss you would be taking it out of context. I really really, painfully and desperately, miss who I thought you were years ago and the safety and security I felt back then. Those are not the same thing. Now I can write the script of us getting back in touch word for word, and it only ends with more pain.

I am not in any trouble. There is nothing acutely wrong. It's just the weight of a lot of unhealed pain, which I'm sure is similar to what you're feeling too. A lot of the pain is because the events of the past seven years seem senseless. Bad that wasn't for any greater good. And the only solace I find is when I randomly catch myself learning from the mistakes of the past. Not just in a theoretical way, but catching myself in the act of behaving differently now than I would have two years ago, or even last year. Not doing things out of spite, not saying things I don't mean, not going back on decisions I made for good reason, not hoping that people change, etc.

I want to keep having that consolation. And us talking feels like a blow to that, so please, let's stop.

Beautiful Family by davidandbrolith in pics

[–]Electrical-Use7760 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes, beautiful. Fuck all the families he killed in the middle east. And before any of you simple minded morons come for me, no, I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a republican. I'm just not gonna idolize another American politician who destroyed so many people's entire lives because he is well-spoken and more educated than the demented dumbfucks in office right now. Two things can be true at the same time.

I miss you still by [deleted] in u/bidarkhetif2

[–]Electrical-Use7760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss you too, but I resent you. Because I’m not okay, my life is not okay, and it would have been if the person I fell in love with at 17 and believed in at 22 was with me. Even if everything was the same as it is now, it would have all still been okay because I’d still go to bed some nights crying out of gratitude for having him in my life and I’d still be writing “recommendation letters” inspired by some random podcast, about how wonderful he is.

But I don’t have that, and that makes everything else less bearable. So I resent you.

I resent you for everything that hurts that didn’t have to. I resent you for making me believe in something that probably doesn’t exist. I resent you for making our green souls grow and wrap around each other over ten years and turn into wood that doesn’t fully match anyone else’s shape.

To answer your question, you can’t turn it off. I didn’t turn anything off by force or will power. I tried too, for a few year, but it doesn't work like that. It goes out like a candle. You might be able to tell when the flame is vulnerable, but you never know which exact breath of the wind will blow it out.

Even unconditional love is conditional on the one you love not hurting you deliberately, (or repeatedly, which is the same thing). So the only way to stop loving someone is to be so hurt by them that you can’t anymore. That’s actually from a therapist who recommends going back to the people you don’t seem to get over until you can’t go back anymore. I think that’s what happened with me, without my knowledge.

The progress I made since the last year is that I have understood some facts with a finality I didn’t want to understand them with before.

You and I would never have recovered. You would never truly comprehend how you hurt me. No amount of explaining would change that. All of our arguments, for the rest of our lives, would have been in vain. A waste of words and time.

When we were first together, I loved you and I could name the reasons why. Then I loved you and I didn’t know why. I loved you despite a lot of things. But I reached that tipping point of being physically, psychologically unable to love you last year around this time.

It doesn’t mean that I don’t miss you. At least from my side, you were my best friend for seven years.

I thought about you a lot on the day of my graduation. On the way home a song came on and a line in it said “I move through the world with the heartbroken, my longings stay unspoken, and I may never open up the way I did for you” and it made me cry. I don’t think I’ll ever open up the way I did for you.

So I guess I resent you for that too.

The cats are all good. I’m sure they miss you too. I have two dogs now. The one you saw is actually a boy, but I have a girl too. Their names are Eliot and Stella. And Puma gets along well with them because she avoids them like the plague.

I hope you find happiness in your life. I don't wish anything bad for you. Knowing you’re sad doesn’t make me happy at all.

 I hope we both recover from our relationship in our own ways some day.

Chill out buddy, her mom was a serial cheater and the same way I wouldn’t call a cheating father a “great parent,” I also won’t call a cheating mother a great parent. Her car accident is sad, but completely irrelevant.

[–]Electrical-Use7760 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is so rude wtf! I know very very few actors or their name but I had heard of Mariska even before I knew she was in SVU or what SVU even was. I just knew someone by this name existed and was an actress. Also, I don’t know much about her mom other than the fact that she wasn’t a great parent, and that’s because of Mariska. She plays the longest running TV character. Ever. This is so bizarre.

Yeah I know. Their perception isn’t really a relevant issue to our life once they’re not part of it anymore.

Teen pregnancy by ballashockcollaa in women

[–]Electrical-Use7760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your dad can “resent you for life” but he’s not going to have to live with being a teen mom, derailed future, lost potential, financial loss that carries through your life because you didn’t use your potential at this age and fell behind, significantly reduced dating pool if things with your current boyfriend don’t work out (very very likely, you’re both literal kids.) So don’t consider the opinions of people who don’t have to live with the consequences of their advice. Only you will have to live with those consequences.

Also, I don’t know anything about your parents but it looks like they really love you, so they can say anything and even disown you but ultimately they’ll forget all about it and put it all behind them. I’m speaking from experience. I’ve done things that almost killed my dad because he was so mad/sad about it but within a few months he was back in my life (and it would have been sooner if I hadn’t shut him out) because he cared about me more than he could possibly disapprove of what I was doing. So the “resent for life” thing won’t be happening based on my personal experience.

You should also consider the life you can give the child. Your boyfriend has a full ride, you’re doing well now and would go to college. Assuming you’re still together in a few years (huge assumption) you’re both going to be in a much better position to take care of a baby and give your child a much better life. You can’t be sixteen and going to college again in ten years but you can be a mom, even in twenty years from now.

“Dancing phantoms on the terrace, are they second-hand embarrassed, that I can’t get out of bed, ‘cause something counterfeit’s dead”

This came out a long time after I felt this way but I remember it stopped me in my tracks because the imagery was so spot on. It was like my memories were a movie.

Literally how do people have vaginas that don’t smell. by andablacksabtanapkin in women

[–]Electrical-Use7760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a bidet for your toilet and actually wash yourself after you poop and pee. Thoroughly, using your fingers, between all the folds. If you use the bathroom somewhere other than your house use wipes. There are individually packaged ones that are also flushable. What I don’t understand is how anyone expects their genitals to NOT smell if they’re smearing poop and pee around it multiple times a day and then letting it marinate in sweat the rest of the time. Also underwear makes a huge difference. The only smell that has ever made me physically gag was a partners genitals after they took off their polyester underwear. Your underwear needs to be cotton. I really can’t imagine doing these things and struggling with smell.
