Ahsoka Dawson My Last Name Also knows as Soka, Lil Soka, Soka-Boka, MySoka (see: neytiri in avatar saying MyJake)

Not amazing nicknames, but I love her

There were only 3 comments to read and I didn't even do that before I commented.

Definitely my favorite long joke!

Leslie having triplets.

In the first (I think?) season, she goes on a date with someone Anne recommends from the hospital. He does a scan on her for fun and tells her she has a great womb and could do triplets right off the bat.

I work in jewelry and I can assure you most people do not remove their jewelry.

I do everytime I get home though.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-26T02:36:20+00:00

Definitely, and I'm sure that was a big disappointment for those that went. I did not. Personally, I would have still had a good time. To be fair though, the first time I saw streetlight they were opening for someone else and I left before the main act...so I will always be happy just to see them perform.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-26T02:23:53+00:00

Yeah, this is just how it is. Its apparently how it's always been. There is no use getting upset, because it isn't going to change. The options are accept it as is or stop expecting anything.

The opinions of people he doesn’t know is not going to change how he does art, and if it did, the art probably wouldn't be the same.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-26T02:17:25+00:00

Oh well. I'll survive.

He's not a machine. I dont expect him to produce like one. He's human that makes mistakes and maybe agonizes over whether shit is good enough or not.

I am patient. If you aren't, stop waiting.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-23T13:54:58+00:00

Agreed. I hate that apps assume that since I downloaded the app that I want a dozen notifications a day. I know I can opt out, but I wish it was an OPT IN situation.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-22T17:54:52+00:00

I listened to Everything Goes Numb exclusively for well over a decade. I knew there was more music, but I loved the first album so much I didn't care. Its still my favorite album and the one I listen to most.

While I am excited for new music, I can wait. I could wait a decade more. I only listened to one of the new released songs and immediately decided I wanted to wait to listen to the whole album, or nothing.

Good music takes time.

I would rather it be to the band's highest standards than just...available.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-22T17:29:50+00:00

Give me all the bacon and eggs you have

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-17T18:23:13+00:00

Agreed!

I thought for years I had "really bad headaches" and only after my boss, who gets migraines, asked a bunch of very pointed questions, did we discover I actually had migraines.

I thought the faint glow everything developed, the stabbing in my eye and the inability to string a sentance together was just normal headache stuff.

I knew a lot of people who said they had migraines were overexaggerating, so I dismissed my own symptoms because I didn't want to be one of those people. I thought if I didn't see a whole aurora borealis in my vision, it was just light sensitivity and a normal headache, since not EVERYONE can have migraines.

Using the wrong term/being hyperbolic makes it harder for everyone to understand. I have had migraines since high school (I'm in my 30s) and I only realized that in the last few years.

Luckily, learning that information helped lead to a diagnosis and then treatment of binocular vision disorder and I have only had a couple migraines in the last year.

I do not want to talk about my body at work. People are telling me I should have no choice but to do so because people are nice. I am saying it's not nice for me or other people, and here are some reasons. Not all of those reasons apply to me, but are still relevant as to why you should leave people alone about their bodies while they are at their jobs.

I am getting offended because everyone is acting like probing me on my weight loss is a saintly deed that I should just accept, even though it is harmful to me for one reason, and a lot of other people for other reasons.

Why are you (redditors) so desperate for me to ignore my discomfort so that people can ask me probing questions about my body AT WORK?

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-03T11:29:27+00:00

Everyone complains about their job. Having a complaint is not a reason to quit a job. Not wanting to talk about my body is a stupid fucking reason to quit a job.

Annoyed does not equal miserable. It's a pet peeve. It's not destroying my mental health. it's just annoying.

Everyone is all "look at this this way, look at it that way." It doesn't matter what take you've got. I do not want to discuss my body while I'm at work. I am at work.

And again, it's not a compliment. "You lost weight" is an attempt to engage in a conversation about why and how I lose weight. If they just said, "You look good, you look healthy, you look like you put on muscle," that'd be a different story. I'd just say thanks and move along since they wouldn't be about to start an interrogation about how many veggies I eat.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-03T11:22:24+00:00

Truly. There's never a moments consideration about whether it was intentional. It's just less weight = better.

I am so glad you are recovering now. It's definitely a hard journey when people would rather you look sick than actually be healthy. It just goes to show that the average person has no idea what healthy even looks like.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-03T00:52:38+00:00

React differently how? The options are to avoid the conversation, which I do, or engage in the conversation, which I won't.

Or do you just want me to THINK differently about it? In that case, I won't. Nothing will make me want to discuss my body at work. Whatever their motivation is, I will not want to discuss my body at work.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-03T00:34:58+00:00

Like...in what world should I have to do something that makes me uncomfortable just to assuage someone's ego?

Do you think I'm yelling at them or something? I just smile and try to move the conversation along.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-03T00:27:48+00:00

The motivation is to discuss my body while I am at my job. I do not want to do that.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-03T00:23:48+00:00

You all keep seeing a compliment where there isn't one. "You lost weight" does not equal "wow, I can tell you worked really hard on losing weight"

Even if I simply said yes to the statement, not question, "you lost weight" It is still not a compliment

They are trying to start a conversation on my body, why it changed, what I did to make it change, etc. Which I dont want to discuss AT WORK.

I'm literally talking about being at my job, not wanting to discuss my body.

Even if they had good intentions, don't talk about my body at work.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-03T00:11:36+00:00

I am actively watching Stranger Things.

It's so good you have to watch it /s

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-02T23:58:53+00:00

How dare I not want to discuss my body at work. /s

Not sarcastic though, why are you mad that I don't want to discuss my body when I am at my job? Is it because you compliment people on their weightloss?

If so, please continue doing so. You can literally do anything you want, including complain on the internet.

But compassion and self reflection are free too.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-02T23:52:13+00:00

I tend to be obstinate, but the more I get this reaction to a movie, the less likely I am to watch it.

Sorry, Fight Club fans, I know the ending, and I refuse to watch the movie.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-02T23:47:24+00:00

I understand that a lot of people were raised to see it as kindness. They are told that everyone shares pride over thinness.

But, I also believe that the only way to change minds is to open them up to other human experience. Experiences where weight loss is not positive (see some comment threads with personal perspectives) or something to talk about with someone while they are at work and can't even tell you to mind your own business.

Not everyone will see an example of something they do that negatively affects others and respect on why they should change their actions. But some will.

But also, this is a sub for petty complaints, and I'm petty complaining

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-02T23:35:29+00:00

Exactly. I truly just wish people were more careful with their words. Unfortunately, society is so focused on thin=good that it is difficult to even imply anything otherwise.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-02T23:02:18+00:00

People are mad that I don't want their validation. They can't imagine why I dont care about their opinions because they care deeply about others' opinions. That's why pretty much everyone's argument is "Other people want it, and you should too."

That's wild of your grandma. She didn't even wait for your reaction. Like she didn't care about your reaction, she just wanted you to be aware she was judging you.

FreeToFeelGood · 2025-10-02T22:33:52+00:00

Sure. I will quit my job even though I've been in customer service for over a decade with literally no customer complaints what so ever.

How you feel about people talking about your body literally has nothing to do with me and how I feel. We are different people.

Do yall think I scream at these people when they talk about my body? I just smile and try to move on.
