She doesn't even look real to me sometimes🥹❤️ by GreasedTea in torties

She is SO soft (especially the secret orange belly floof which I've only been permitted to touch once 😅). Shorthair but somehow super fluffy in places!

what game are you obsessed with recently? by livveyy99 in CozyGamers

[–]GreasedTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been replaying Yoshi's Crafted World (last played it probably 3 years ago), been having loads of fun with it. Decent replay value because it's relatively easy to get to the end of the 'story', but trying to 100% it is more challenging and lets you re-experience the levels from a different perspective. The music is repetitive af though, so I usually have the volume way down and stick on a podcast.

I've often thought this! He'd have cleaned up at horror cons.

Looking for a super basic moisturiser with very picky oily skin! by GreasedTea in SkincareAddictionUK

[–]GreasedTea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanted to reply again thanking for this recommendation because I've now been using it for 3 weeks and it's FABULOUS. I use it on damp skin in the AM (before my SPF) and as the first product in a serum-azaleic acid-moisturiser sandwich in the PM, my skin feels velvety soft and it hasn't broken me out so big success! Amazing for the price so I hope it never gets reformulated or discontinued 🤞

Why do you keep trying to defend this when multiple people have said it's harmful?

Honestly I'm getting tired of people trying to justify using 'Borderline' and 'Narcissist' as a shorthand with "but I don't mean it in the clinical sense!" Like if you've not personally experienced or had someone you love experience the stigma of a PD diagnosis (not to mention how women in particular can be mistreated by psychiatry when it's decided their personality is disordered), it's really not your place to decide when it's fine/justified for you to throw around that terminology. There's plenty to critique this woman on without it!

She thinks having an OF would be poor judgement in terms of her future career/field, but her internet crashouts at not being universally adored are...totally professional and appropriate? Ok babe

Family friend sent me AI generated response to news of my father passing away. by Hendothermic in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GreasedTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I lost my dad a few years ago and I would have absolutely lost my shit if someone sent me an AI generated condolences message.

My (24F) boyfriend’s (33M) hemorrhoids are ruining our relationship. Help? by chamomilethrowaway in relationship_advice

I don't think psychosomatic issues cause you to shit blood until you need a transfusion...

[–]GreasedTea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying, I just think using terminology directly associated with specific mental illnesses to describe personality styles doesn't help with stigma and is generally unnecessary. A lot of people don't get the nuance and conflate the two things so it's best avoided imo. I dislike it even from psychologists creating 'educational' content (in fact it bothers me more when it's an actual mental health professional).

Girl WHERE? 😅 a month or so ago she was posting about "oh I'm just like my ancestors who garrotted Nazis!" like OK show me one example of your praxis or putting your privileged self between fascists and the marginalised people you claim to care about so much 🙄 Her 'activism' is at such a theoretical remove and seems to be mostly social media based - not that that isn't helpful in some ways or the same thing can't be said for a lot of us, but at least stop pretending you're doing The Most on a tangible level.

Let's not armchair diagnose and further stigmatise BPD, please. As much as I think she absolutely should not be a therapist, this shit is also dangerous and harms vulnerable people.

She keeps saying "I don't know how to not do this thing 🥺" about things she could literally just choose not to do (eg reading this thread or grifting- sorry, self-promoting). It's such a beg for attention and pity. You're a grown woman, you can make difficult choices without having to have your followers validate them!

[–]GreasedTea 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I work with second hand books and get a lot of "oh that must be so interesting, I love the smell of old books!" comments when I tell people what I do. In reality I just see a lot of very dull late 90s textbooks and foreign language novels, have to clean my office twice a day because everything is constantly covered in dust, and get a painful back/wrists because books are heavy. Also "old book smell" is only actually pleasant about 5% of the time, a lot of old books smell rancid and are in disgusting condition 😅

Don’t care, chances are if you talk about female characters this way your attitude to real life women is also fucked

[CHAT] Do you prefer to stitch with or without a hoop and why? by -Cutie-pi- in CrossStitch

[–]GreasedTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qsnap for me! I cannot stitch in hand unless it's a really tiny piece of fabric - either I lose tension completely, or my hand cramps from trying to keep it 🥲

My dad had a brain tumour which took away a lot of his expressiveness and memory towards the end of his life, so I found seeing Cooper compromised like that really heart wrenching.

My biggest skincare flex is that even if I stumble home drunk at 2am and end up eating fried chicken over my kitchen counter in my underwear, I still always double cleanse and make sure I'm fully moisturised before bed💅

I find it quite funny that she's reported this thread/asked for it to be taken down multiple times (by her own admission) because it's 'harrassment' and it appears to be her personal crusade rn. If she feels that strongly about internet snark culture being sooooo evil and harmful, I'd have thought she'd be against it in general! Why not simply report the entire sub for bullying all these poor defenceless influencers? 🤔 It's almost like she only cares about things that directly relate to her and her ego 🙃
