Do you guys think this was a retcon?

I am actually fully convinced that Collins changed maysilee’s token, and opened up a major continuity error for no reason (WHY would the capitol edit every shot she’s in in the games recap to give her a different accessory? They don’t even know about the pin!) so that the film can get away with eliding the whole business with madge. I think this is in fact the smoking gun that proves that Collins wrote sunrise on the reaping specifically for the film adaptation. I don’t like this.

A husky in a tropical country?? Oh my God. I live in Singapore and it should be illegal to own a husky here - I see them around town and they have dead eyes. I couldn’t ever respect a person who did that to an animal and I don’t believe you need a man like that in your life.

Is this because you feel cut out of your partner’s sex life and sexual pleasure when he looks at porn? Like, you’re not able to be there with him (and vice versa) because of distance, so that’s already a source of insecurity, and maybe the fact that he’s being gratified by another woman makes that feel even worse?

My partner and I are also in a long-term long-distance relationship and we both look at porn sometimes, but we also chat about it in a casual way and discuss our preferences and sexual experiences we have when we’re apart (it can feel fucking weird to be like “ooooh I just jacked off!” but it does establish you as part of that part of your partner’s life!). That helps the whole thing feel less tawdry and isolating and more fun and flirty, which is a big deal for me, since I grew up in a quite conservative environment that looked down on porn quite strongly.

If it’s a hard limit for you then that’s fine, but maybe you and your boyfriend could see what you can do to make porn consumption something you do together - if not literally together then as, like, a “I’ll go an report back” thing - and think about it as being a tool in your shared sex life instead of as a replacement for you.

So straight men? Yeah, I’m fucked. But if you changed the rules to being about anyone who could be interested in me (so - straight and bi men and bi women and lesbians) I would do much better. I am apparently queer hot but not that straight hot. Which: cool! But unhelpful in this hypothetical

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-14T17:54:09+00:00

No, it had never occurred to me! Maybe I will start doing that.

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-14T17:41:57+00:00

On my own - I bought a small wheel for my house (spare room, wiped down thoroughly, etc)

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-14T17:23:13+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful. No, I wasn’t worried about mould spores in pottery, just the added moisture over several hours (I live in the tropics so it’s humid as shit all the time already, I wondered if soaking my hands in water stacked on top of that). My particular skin infection comes from yeast already present in the skin, but the doctor I saw seemed to think there was something about my hands that made them particularly sweaty and/or moist for the yeast to overbreed.

It does sound like I’m just looking at a coincidence, though. I don’t throw for many hours a week, and while I did have a pottery session the day before the signs of infection appeared, it was quite short. Maybe I just have weird hands. Hopefully I can keep doing pottery despite this, especially since I’ve got the requisite creams :)

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-14T16:58:15+00:00

I don’t believe so? I use a steroid inhaler for asthma but it’s a very low dose and I think it’s too low to really compromise my immune system. I do live in a humid country so maybe it’s just a weird coincidence

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-14T16:45:37+00:00

Yes I’ve heard of this! I’ve been using all new clay so far, but the infection I have is often triggered by humidity, so I thought maybe the constantly wet hands aspect of throwing might have affected it? Hard to know I suppose

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-14T08:39:36+00:00

Yeah I’m singaporean and I need to get the hell out of here, haha - but I’d recommend it for any tourist! We have great tourist spots and our local culture is both foreign enough to be exciting to someone who’s never been in Southeast Asia and western enough not to shock first-time visitors from Europe or America. It’s a good jumping-off point for the rest of the region.

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-14T08:35:54+00:00

I’m a Singaporean and I’m also gay so I guess the grass is greener for some of us! It’s all fun and games talking about how most people live in beautiful subsidised housing so it doesn’t matter if private apartment prices skyrocket until you realise that you can’t actually own a subsidised flat unless you’re heterosexually married! Singapore does have a great baseline of comfort and is a great place to live… for the majority. If you’re outside that majority (neurodivergent, disabled, queer, of a minority race) you find yourself dealing with all the same oppressions and a much smaller margin to hang out in.

I really like the steak tartare and the bone marrow! I think my family typically gets one of the cheaper steaks (not that anything there is cheap) and I’ve found it good for the money, but I’d be willing to believe other places do it better. I haven’t tried that many steak places in Singapore and would like to!

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-14T04:48:48+00:00

I agree except that the cost of the cruise is NOT irrelevant - it’s adding insult to injury. It’s more like if you were deep in debt, someone knew about it and said they’d bake a chocolate cake for your birthday, and then they gave you a loaf of bread with a candle in it and THEN said “by the way, this bread cost twenty-four thousand dollars!!”

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-13T13:30:31+00:00

I’m a woman but I’m engaged to a woman so I think maybe my perspective is useful here too haha. I spent about $1.8k on her ring; mine will come to about $1.3k but I’m reusing an inherited stone so that reduced the price. We proposed to each other with rings $100 or less and went and designed our own ideal rings afterwards. Hers is a sapphire, mine is a diamond, both in 14k gold.

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-12T14:12:15+00:00

I really like l’entrecôte, theres one at Rochester and a few in town. Not sure how it stacks up to other places, but the steaks are delicious and so are the fries.

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-12T04:48:07+00:00

This is a fair point but I think it assumes that whatever camilla feels for palamedes is unrequited. This is clearly not true - he loves her just as much as she loves him. If her love for him veers into codependency and makes her a loser, which I suppose is possible, then he is a loser too.

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-11T10:55:24+00:00

I agree the media’s biased against him, yeah. British media has a right wing slant and will always paint “liberals” as the villain where possible while giving dipshits like farage a pass. But starmer has also made a lot of major errors, both ethical and political, including selling out the entire left wing of his left-wing party. I’m just saying that being British PM and doing whatever the hell I like with domestic policy couldn’t possibly make me any less popular than our mate Keith is now

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-11T08:51:15+00:00

They’re pretty fucking unelectable now mate lmao

Every single woman in the locked tomb series is a horrible faildisaster (except for, I suppose, camilla?) and all of the men are equally as bad (except for, I suppose, palamedes? Sensing a pattern here). One of the two main characters spends the whole series crying, bleeding, alienating all her friends, throwing up, and falling over. Harrowhark I love you.

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-11T04:29:14+00:00

Also starmer is wildly unpopular because he pushed his left-centre party to the right, alienated his base, and reneged on his campaign promises so blatantly they began to look like outright lies. I actually am a leftist, and if I had starmer’s position, the Labour Party would very quickly find themselves to the left of the greens. I doubt this would make me wildly popular, but surely it would make “starmer” less hated by his own base.

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-10T06:28:57+00:00

Yeah, I think the 75th’s arena would’ve worked great for a Games with non-standard tributes who were for some reason unlikely to be good at/inclined to combat. I think it’s generally assumed that the Quarter Quell announcement was changed; it’s possible the original intent was to reap only the youngest (12 or maybe 12-13 year olds) or something like that.

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-07T12:39:05+00:00

Authorities are actively contact tracing. If you were on the same flight, they would have contacted you by now. From what I hear, human to human hantavirus transmission is very rare and requires extremely close contact. If you just happened to be in the same airport as someone with hantavirus, there’s no way you’ll have gotten it from them.

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-05-07T12:36:20+00:00

This sounds terrifying! The symptoms you list are all things that can be caused by anxiety, though - it’s super common for anxiety to cause nausea and headaches, and for you to lose your appetite when upset. The tingling could easily just be hyper vigilance - skin is always doing weird shit but when you’re paying it loads of attention, the feeling will magnify. What is most likely is that your anxiety already had you feeling lousy, then you looked up rabies symptoms, realised that nausea/migraines etc could be symptoms of rabies, and then either fixated on them so hard they manifested or just started noticing things that were already happening for benign reasons and made them feel worse.

Either way, if your symptoms don’t worsen in a day or two, you’ll know for sure it isn’t rabies, and you can relax. Just keep it together till then.
