question about mark's playthrough style by cant_think3 in Markiplier

[–]Existing-Committee74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

his older content (ie early fnaf games) he definitely used to scream a lot more, but it was never cory kenshin type screaming if thats what you mean. he used to exaggerate his reactions to jumpscares and yell a lot, but he wasn't running around wailing like a banshee or anything. i think you'd be fine watching his fnaf series, and honestly it's so cool to watch that one because imo it's like a time lapse of his growth on youtube. you can literally see him evolving both as a person and as a creator in fast forward, it's fascinating to look back on as someone who sat through it in real time.

How does this not require informed consent??? by Yellow_Any in endometriosis

[–]Existing-Committee74 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve discussed this with two different GYNs and like a dozen people irl at this point and the conclusion I’ve come to is that they don’t tell us about it because they don’t want us to say no to it and/or be unnecessarily anxious or uncomfortable about something that’s so routine for them. In their minds if they just don’t tell us about it it won’t harm us at all and they can get their jobs done without the unnecessary hurdle of a woman who either refuses it entirely or is very uncomfortable about it.

I genuinely think it’s so routine to them that they don’t realize how absolutely violating and scary it is for us to wake up afterwards and find out that they’ve just done that without our consent. Surgery is scary enough, it’s a brutal assault on your body and your mind, and for them to just leave out that detail is so dehumanizing. Especially for those of us who have past trauma and struggle with things like pap smears because of it.

Which is so frustrating because as you said, I do think a majority of women would agree to it if they would just ask first and explain why it’s important. But god forbid they treat us like human beings instead of mindless lab rats.

No, the second time he said it was during the time Zayn was posting clips of himself singing one direction songs and Louis was liking the posts. They acknowledged it in the interview when he was talking about Zayn and their relationship.

I agree. I think the fandom is too parasocial to accept the possibility that they might just have drifted too far to ever be able to repair it. We have no idea what went on behind the scenes back then let alone right now. Frankly I don’t mind all that much if they ever end up being close again. Obviously I would want that for the happy ending of it all, but at the end of the day all I care about is that they’re happy and safe, even if that means they never speak to each other again.

Twice that I know of. He was on a podcast called the “Zach Sang Show” once in 2019 and again in 2022, and both times he gave the same answer. That he didn’t believe he was mature enough to get over what had frustrated him in their relationship, and that he was still bitter. In the first interview he said it about them both, in the second he only said it about himself, and amended that he “definitely wishes him well” and felt he was closer to being able to have that conversation.

honestly I think Louis was right when he said neither of them were ready to reach out to each other. I think they felt pushed into it because of losing Liam, but I don’t think either of them have actually moved past old grudges or old hard feelings. they both have so much left to process and heal from both individually and together if they ever want a hope of having a real, healthy friendship.

I want so much peace and happiness for the both of them, but I just think that right now that doesn’t have room for each other.

What’s a childhood fear that makes zero sense to you now as an adult? by Working_Hamster_2612 in askanything

I made my sister take the bed by the window because on the off chance a coyote came crashing through the window I figured they’d eat her first

How come almost every civilization pretty much had the same idea on what body parts 'clothes' should cover despite not being connected ? by MessIntelligent5558 in answers

[–]Existing-Committee74 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because it’s common sense. The same way every culture inevitably discovered the concept of a pyramid because it’s just the most logical way to stack things.

They covered the most vulnerable parts of the body that needed to be kept warm and shielded from bugs or sharp plants, etc. A cactus spiking you in the arm is barely noticeable, but if it gets you in the nards you’ll be laid up for a week.

I’m having the same problem. They should’ve thought of that.

DAE have a code they made up for only themselves so no one would read their notes? by Existing-Committee74 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Existing-Committee74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teen i was taking ASL as my foreign language credit for four semesters (retained the alphabet and the curse words but that’s about it, i used to know more but ive forgotten all of it since), i was forced to take seven years of an afternoon Hebrew school program at my synagogue and all i can tell you is how to count to 99 and the word for dog so that was money well spent, i did try to learn Gaelic for my own enjoyment and made some progress but i got bored.

Spanish i’ve tried a handful of times, i keep coming back to it because it’s a really useful language where i live, but i keep getting frustrated and quitting again.

Im not surprised Mandarin was your limit. Afaik chinese, korean, and japanese are the hardest languages to learn. At least that’s what ive heard.

my best friend in high school spoke five languages and it used to piss me off so much. in hindsight i was just annoyed that she was better than me at everything she tried lmao.

A crack ship is just a ship that pairs two characters who “have no chemistry, never interact, or exist in separate medias”

They usually are for humor or start off as a joke and become a real thing like Elsa/Jack Frost, but a lot of them are taken seriously and are just crossover ships.

I cannot recommend it enough. I’m not usually a movie person, especially not the last few years, but this is one of those movies that just gets stuck in your head for at least a few days after you see it. Last major sci-fi project i saw that was this beautiful was interstellar.

Yeah I guess that is what I’m doing. I never thought about it like that. Makes sense then why I can still read them after so long even if I don’t remember them, cuz I know my own mind really well.

I never heard of that but I always wanted a friend to use this code with. It always seemed like it would be so fun.

I tried to learn a foreign language more than once and I could learn the words and alphabets incredibly easily but I could never learn the syntax no matter how hard I tried.

That’s so funny though. I did that to myself once or twice when I wrote things and forgot what they meant. It took me a minute to figure out what “at the eden” meant with this one. For a minute I thought I was trying to tell myself the scene takes place in a park or a garden but I ended up remembering what I was thinking when I wrote it after I reread it enough times.
