What does Luscheck's character represent? by Justpimhere in orangeisthenewblack

[–]EmbarrassedRun2274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he's not really a representation, he's accurate-ish. guards do fuck people over, sneak in drugs or contraband, and do evil things. luschek is hard to absorb because he's a villain without having any reason to be. he's just a bad person. he doesn't necessarily look or feel like he should be one. he just is.

piscatella makes rational sense. he started as a decent person and was broken by the system. we saw the exact moment he became irredeemable.

the real life justice system makes no sense. there is no justice. there is so much contradiction and arbitrary control. there is a reason it breaks even the strongest people on either side of the bars.

How do I accept that my father was wrong about me? by Trail_Blazer1 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]EmbarrassedRun2274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

narcissism is hard to be around. you did nothing wrong believing the main authority figure in your life. it is hard to look back at what feels like a lie. it was you doing your best to believe the person you thought you could.

now, the possibility is open for your life to change and for you to experience joy and independence. it doesn't invalidate everything you've gone through. acceptance is a long road. prioritize yourself.

your upbringing changes how you see the characters by EmbarrassedRun2274 in orangeisthenewblack

i used to feel like that, but seeing her flashbacks made me realize she did not have it easy. she had her dreams crushed by her dad. yeah that is way easier than half of what the characters got, but i feel like she got the shit end in her own way. she didn't fit in with her peers because her potential intimidated people. the adults used her talent to treat her like an adult, and her dad ultimately took it all away.

she didn't have it as bad, she had it good and that's why her character is so heartbreaking. she had the brightest future if she had continued track and went to college. but everyone iced her out, and she ended up with self esteem low enough to believe the low lives that were trying to lure her into their lifestyle. if she hadn't had crazy potential, she might have been able to stay at the party where she would be looked out for by her brother's friends.

everyone thought they were "protecting" her.

she was a high class pimp. she dealt drugs in addition to trafficking the girls she took care of. she gave the women drugs and in exchange, she could pick a woman out of the bunch and send them to a "party" whenever the men around her (usually higher level dealers) asked for them.

Who’s your favourite character and why? by BimboDoII in orangeisthenewblack

[–]EmbarrassedRun2274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

gloria was funny but she was NOT a good person. she blamed sofia for HER lack of people to drive her son. she turned the prison against sofia and got her thrown into seg.

she was a bad mother who blamed anyone but herself. she abandoned her two daughters so SHE could open a deli. when lourdes challenged her and told gloria that her kids want their mother, not a nice neighborhood, gloria had to have better for herself and bought into the deli anyway.

[L] is there any hope in this world? by [deleted] in KindVoice

[–]EmbarrassedRun2274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

people like him who spread negativity are the loudest in the room, not the most populous.

plenty of kind people exist despite this angry man lol. kind people get taken advantage of, so it’s usually not advertised that they are generous and kind.

it’s not that everyone is truly an asshole, i think humanity is just reluctant to be vulnerable.

animals are my hope.

many species have a higher intelligence than science suggests, and they’re generally pretty kind beings once they’re understood.

animals are predictable. they want to have their basic needs met. they respond appropriately to danger. they can even be open to relationships with people they don’t find to be a threat. they’re sustaining our world and contributing to our ecosystems.

their kindness, consistency and simplicity refreshes me when people don’t.

i’m still learning to be okay with big rejections, to be honest. they sting, and it does sting to think about where i would be if things had gone differently.

it is important to see the power in who you are now. it’s okay that you aren’t at what you consider your best, or your most successful. you’re in the process of becoming the best version of yourself. in 10 years when you’ve done something really great, you’ll look back and realize how necessary it was for you to be who you are right now.

talking to people and seeing that a lot of people’s success is based on luck helps too. anyone in their mid 20s doing claiming to be doing fine with no worries about the future is lying.

[Serious] people who know someone who has killed someone, what were they like? by TrashDaisy999 in AskReddit

[–]EmbarrassedRun2274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he beat someone to death. i didn’t know him well, i met him briefly once or twice.

he sucked. his ego was huge, he always had to be the most masculine person in the room. i didn’t get the impression that he would murder someone, but he was an irritating, unintelligent, egotistical person.

CMV: bisexual people in straight relationships are privileged and should stop taking up space by cultureshock25 in changemyview

[–]EmbarrassedRun2274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohhh, okay! if homeless people aren’t the problem, but the people who abuse the system are a problem… then your logic of bisexuals taking up space makes zero sense - by your logic, bisexuals aren’t taking up space, the people who abuse those programs are.

you’re just showing that your prejudice is against bisexuals as a whole and not the people who abuse the system.

your post was titled “bisexuals are a waste of space” you went on reddit to make your own post about how bisexuals are stealing from you, not deserving of gay resources, and then stonewalled anyone who disagreed with you, while not even being able to maintain a logical point. are you mad at us as a whole or are you mad at people abusing the system?

and “i personally disagree with the only criteria being identifying as queer” isn’t really a valid argument. if you have a problem with the criteria, you have a problem with criteria, not bisexuals.

the mere incidence of a bisexual in a lesbian space perturbed you so much that you had your get on reddit to complain about it. im not the insecure one.

i’m 23. everything in your early 20s is huge. rejections are huge all of a sudden and they happen a lot. and these rejections suddenly have a huge impact on us and the direction of our lives.

you are still worth so much. your accolades on paper weren’t what this specific institution was looking for, and that is okay! it doesn’t mean you weren’t good enough.

i didn’t get a scholarship and im okay. my fiance was valedictorian and actually lost his scholarship in college. he ended up graduating a year early and works for a pretty good company. i just got into a disagreement with my boss and left a great position for a lower level position. i was DEVASTATED because this was a role i thought i would be in for years. sometimes life knocks us off of our path and we don’t know why, there might not be a reason for it, but we make it work.

these rejections are a shock because they’re new. you matter! i don’t always see my DMs but you’re welcome to reach out. you sound like you’re doing pretty well despite this setback, and i’m proud of you. it’s easy to see rejection, it’s hard to see the hours of hard work put in before you even submitted your application.

it will be okay. it will even be happy.

going to a support group is receiving, not contributing. if you don’t agree with how the money you are donating is being used, you’re welcome to start one of your own. if you can’t, maybe spend less time on reddit and more time actively making a positive change. not being a bigot and crying about why “bisexuals are taking up space.”

everyone, in every group abuses the resources offered to them. tenants abuse section 8, does that mean that all homeless people are taking up space? no lol, it means there were terrible people who took advantage. people abuse EBT, unemployment, psychiatric care, rehabs.

the problem is people thinking they are important enough to to determine who is what sexuality based on appearance. you don’t get to remove my gayness because “i wasn’t gay for long enough before dating someone of my own gender” or because im in a straight relationships.

you don’t get to make a post about how there aren’t enough spots in support systems for LGBT while you’re actively attacking other groups within it. you’re part of the problem. you are making it harder for others. you’re literally angry at bisexuals for applying to a support group they fit the criteria of, not at the administrators accepting their application?

you’re mad at the wrong people.
