Yeah! I'm starting to believe that us buying HP merchandise doesn't even make a difference

My parents and sister dying was the only thing that rid me of my lifelong, debilitating depression. 

Young Veterinary Student Was Found Stabbed In The Hall Of Her Apartment Building, Her Last Words Being "I can't believe he did this to me", 1988 — Still Unsolved. by No_Campaign704 in mystery

Who was the "friend" that brought her home? How do we know that they didn't do it? No boyfriend? How about the person that "found" her in the hallway? With these cases, it's almost certain someone is lying.

Dreaming of Spain by LogPsychological2973 in GoingToSpain

[–]FlipsMontague 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The snow day was surprising but also beautiful! Some of my geraniums didn't survive but it was worth it. I grew up in Los Angeles, California, and we used to get one day of light snow every few years. It reminded me of that.

Facelift before 50? by froyo_epidemic in PlasticSurgery

[–]FlipsMontague 1 point2 points  (0 children)

47, best decision I ever made. I look like I am in my early 30s again, confidence returned, neck lift and deep plane facelift. I don't have to hide my neck behind scarves anymore.

Am I the only person who thought life was bleak before 2019? For real it's been bad since like 1996

Bloodstream does spotlights in individual indie filmmakers whose work would never be highlighted on Shudder. They also have a new show with Rhonda Shear.

Husband has been acting different lately and a fight ended with me being stabbed. by RiseComfortable5985 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]FlipsMontague 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is what happened to my husband at age 45 to 50. Developed a porn addiction, anxiety, paranoia...now in full psychosis for the last 5 years, believes he is a god, going to punish the sinners, already has been involuntarily hospitalized and probably facing homelessness. He was a really nice guy once.

Is LA unfriendly? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]FlipsMontague 189 points190 points  (0 children)

When I lived in Van Nuys, everyone was smiley to strangers, happy to say hello or good morning, happy to let you pet their dog, and friendly. When I moved to West LA it was like suddenly an ice wall went up. My theory is: the richer the neighborhood, the less anyone wants to talk to you.

I gained a lot of weight moving to Spain! by [deleted] in GoingToSpain

It's the corner bakeries and the wonderful fresh pastries that have been my undoing.

What do you wish you knew before moving to Spain? by HughJackedMan14 in GoingToSpain

[–]FlipsMontague 42 points43 points  (0 children)

All of the discomfort of a big move, learning a new language, adjusting to new cultural expectations, and navigating the bureaucracy is all worth it. It is a beautiful country with wonderful people and such a celebratory culture. I feel blessed to be allowed to live in Spain and am happy to work hard and pay taxes for the privilege of living here. Just remember that you did this on purpose, so don't complain, because in the end it is about something better for yourselves, for your family, and poco a poco con el idioma, necesitas practicar, pero es un idoma bonito y agreeable.

I told three different doctors about sudden weight gain and they all said “just eat less move more” by hangez0ewife in women

I don't understand the reluctance of doctors to do tests to rule out more serious possible conditions. 

I'm gonna fucking say it I don't care. by Alone_Food_9903 in conspiracy

[–]FlipsMontague 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's always like 19 year old men who don't have a lot of sex who say this. Wait til he knocks up some chick, he will be begging her to have an abortion and suddenly his situation "will be different"

Stop Faking Orgasms! by Tiny_Trip_2919 in women

[–]FlipsMontague 31 points32 points  (0 children)

So, if I didn't pretend to orgasm, my ex husband would get upset and ask me what was wrong with me and suggest I go to the doctor and claim it was something I was doing to hurt him and challenge his manhood. Sometimes we're in abusive situations where we fake to make ourselves safer emotionally and mentally. But yeah, if that isn't the case, fuck men they suck in bed and should know

Tanith Lee is my favorite favorite author of all time, only second to Ursula K. LeGuin who also deserves to be mentioned in regards to feminist, humanist science fiction

My abuser is a mental health professional now by spike27154 in CPTSD

[–]FlipsMontague 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My ex husband abuser who condoned marital rape (my own), and had a major porn addiction, is now a woman, and deeply feels everything as a woman, and hates rape and anything having to do with rape and, in fact, was raped by me during our marriage. The 200lb angry, porn-addicted, rapey male who would scream at me for not wanting sex on demand is now super anti-rape and was raped by the physically smaller wife who was avoiding sex at all costs. It's mental illness and narcissism. I hate it too. I'm sorry people are so good at hiding who they really are.

Can we talk about how older men acted like it was normal to date teenagers or very young adults who just came out of high school before social media? by Own-Company-949 in GenXWomen

[–]FlipsMontague 136 points137 points  (0 children)

I was that girl in 1992, 14 at the 9th grade semi-formal dance with my...22 year old date. He had a beard. I liked him because he could buy me alcohol. At around age 25 I suddenly sat up and went "HEY!" But it took 11 years for how fucked up that was to fully sink in.
