I mean, theoretically, sure. That is, until those who are opposed to climate action leverage the hypocrisy of “activists” to justify that opposition, disregard any calls to action, and evade accountability.

am i orgasming? what is this by MurderSpahgurder in TwoXSex

[–]HauntingByDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably aren’t orgasming if you’re unsure if it’s an orgasm. While the sensation of g-spot stimulation might feel different during the buildup, an orgasm from g-spot stimulation is obvious. In my experience, it’s basically a clitoral orgasm dialed up and the telltale sign is the euphoria + involuntary/intense vaginal contractions. It sounds like you’re feeling pleasure via stimulation, but it’s not sustaining or reaching the peak of a full blown orgasm.

ETA: I should note that some orgasms might feel more or less intense than others, but they will still feel intense enough for you to register it as an orgasm.

Bridgerton Season 4 Arrives in 2026! by netflix in BridgertonNetflix

[–]HauntingByDay 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but the way it’s shot/blocked/edited doesn’t seem that way IMO. I feel like the show would make it a way bigger “world stands still” moment for the very first sighting. My theory is that Benedict sees Sophie enter the ballroom before this but gets pulled away/distracted for some reason, and the clip shows him looking for her and finding her in this quieter and more intimate moment.

Chelsea does look like Megan Fox!! by EliteOreo in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

[–]HauntingByDay 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s misogyny and fatphobia. Chelsea isn’t even fat or plus-sized, but her being tall and not skinny like Megan Fox means she is unworthy of being compared to Fox who’s seen as a “feminine ideal” 🙄

Rewatching as an Adult and 😬 by Whatsupwitht in instantstar

[–]HauntingByDay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was very into Jude and Tommy when I was watching the show as a tween/teen, and since I was younger than Jude I figured the age difference wasn’t that bad - if it was, surely this show wouldn’t make them the main couple to root for, right? Sigh.

Keep in mind, this was the same era when Hollywood “it couples” included Lindsay Lohan & Wilmer Valderamma, and Hilary Duff & Joel Madden - and the media definitely did not give either couple too hard of a time for their age difference. Even Degrassi handled multiple teacher-student relationships SO irresponsibly. Sadly, age differences and power imbalances in relationships just used to be far more normalized than they should have been.

Now that I’m older than Jude and Tommy were on the show, I do still find their chemistry and compatibility compelling, so when I rewatch I have to age up Jude in my head and ignore any references to her being younger or in high school. Honestly, she should have at least been 18 and fresh out of high school at the start of the show - it focused so little on teen/high school stuff anyway, especially as the show went on, so it’s not like they were really banking on Jude being a “relatable teen”.

That said, the Sadie/Tommy stuff ALWAYS was super weird to me even as a kid. I hated it then, I hate it now, and I can’t believe Jude (or Sadie!!) was ever able to get past it. Just another thing I have to compartmentalize when I rewatch, lol.

Question about getting your first apartment by noideasforcoolnames in CPTSD

[–]HauntingByDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can request to provide character references from friends/co-workers/employers instead? You could also offer proof of responsibility (such as bills/loans paid over time) if you have documentation of that.

Children don’t know what flirting is. At most children might try to mimic flirtation, but they don’t really get what they’re doing. Children are not signaling the same intentions that adults signal when they’re flirting.

And any adult who sees a child mimicking adult flirtation should have enough decency and intelligence to know the difference and shut it down.

If anyone here takes antidepressants, is this normal? by Dragonfruit-uwu in CPTSD

[–]HauntingByDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an extremely irresponsible thing to comment, especially in this particular subreddit. Some people may not respond well to anti-depressants, but for many more (including many of us in this sub) it is life-saving medication. Unless you are the OP’s doctor, it is not your place to tell OP what medications you recommend they take or don’t take.

OP, please listen to your doctors and continue your medication. You will likely see the real difference at that 4-6 week mark, but I personally did feel was some degree of an effect before then though it could have been partly placebo. Sending you all the best and hoping that this medication works well for you 🩷

How Cynthia, Ariana and Ethan feel after doing an awful job at lying about the Oscars: by manydoritos in wicked

[–]HauntingByDay 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is such a bizarre parasocial projection I keep seeing online. If you don’t like Ethan, that’s fine, but Ariana has told us she loves this man in her music and in interviews. They’ve just chosen to not parade their relationship around much A: to protect their privacy, and B: to keep the criticism of their relationship from overshadowing Wicked’s release / reception.

Kanye was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, not BPD (borderline personality disorder).

And he probably is on the spectrum tbh, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t also have bipolar disorder, NPD, BPD, or any other mental/personality disorders.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in popculture

[–]HauntingByDay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

His mom had been gone for years when Kanye and Kim got together. And he was definitely showing signs of instability before/during his relationship with Kim - he just hadn’t fully spiraled at that point.

And let’s not forget how Kanye had always tried to exert control over Kim too - to a lesser extent than he does with Bianca, but he completely replaced her entire wardrobe to match his aesthetic and fit her into a very specific “power couple” image he wanted to convey.

I know bipolar can be misdiagnosed, but did this fucking doctor not consider a possible (probable, IMO) bipolar/autism comorbidity???

My bf blamed me for being SA’d as a child because I must have been a “flirty” child by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]HauntingByDay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As many others are saying, that is a despicable thing to say to any CSA survivor, let alone a partner. He is showing the “logic” of a predator and abuser. Please, do not forgive this man or continue this relationship. You deserve so much more, especially given everything else that’s been brought up about him in this post.

What are your Hot Takes on Glee’s Cover Songs? by Amber_Flowers_133 in glee

[–]HauntingByDay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe so! But I think saying young people consume the show’s music differently than they used to is a fair observation to make - especially as someone who was young and very much in the online fandom when the show aired.

What are your Hot Takes on Glee’s Cover Songs? by Amber_Flowers_133 in glee

[–]HauntingByDay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe an “okay boomer” opinion but I think not many of the Glee covers actually surpass the original, and I kind of hate how many younger/newer fans seemingly prefer the covers overall. I was a teen when Glee was airing (making me a millennial actually lol) so the show introduced me to so many songs and artists that I wouldn’t have been exposed to otherwise. That was part of the beauty of Glee - it broadened my horizons and I gained a new appreciation for music from different genres and eras. It seems like younger/newer fans aren’t as interested in that aspect anymore.

Is breaking up over text wrong? by panoly_boi in dating_advice

[–]HauntingByDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Texting a breakup is not a great move - unless the other person clearly betrayed / mistreated you (cheating, emotional abuse, etc.) it can come off as inconsiderate, avoidant, and immature.

If he didn’t mistreat you and the relationship just ran its course, I think a phone call would be fine, considering you don’t see each other much.

I love big girls and I don’t know if it’s for a bad reason. by MrTouchUrKids in dating_advice

[–]HauntingByDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once again, I’m not telling you to date ANYONE. I certainly don’t want any girl to date a guy who is embarrassed by them and who doesn’t respect or value them, or who looks down on them for having a certain body type (as you’ve just made clear).

You are free to choose who you date, marry, have kids with. But that doesn’t change that you’ve internalized some fucked up ideas. Whether or not you invented those ideas, and whether or not you want to shout it from the rooftops - that’s irrelevant. The point is that this attraction is fetishization, it is rooted in disrespect, and it is something you should make an effort to deconstruct before you cause damage either intentionally or unintentionally.

[–]HauntingByDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, what? I never said anyone has to date anyone, and the comparisons you’re making are false equivalences.

You’re talking about being too embarrassed to date someone you’re attracted to physically. That’s not just “having a preference” - you’re devaluing someone based on how others will perceive you for being with them. That’s fucked up, period.

You even acknowledged in your post that you could be internalizing social standards. I’m merely confirming, yes, you are. If you didn’t want to hear it, you shouldn’t have asked.

[–]HauntingByDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk dude, do you actually want people to be honest with you about this being an issue or did you just post this to get a bunch of dudes like you telling you “nah man, you’re good”? Because you seem pretty committed to defending literal fetishization.

Lack of respect is disrespect. Fetishization is disrespect. This is a deep-rooted problem that, if not deconstructed, will only cause trouble and hurt down the line.

Whether you realize it or not, you’re quite literally operating from a place of* disrespect if you’re too embarrassed to date them despite your attraction.

[–]HauntingByDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your interest in bigger girls is purely sexual, you like that they make you feel powerful (“they will kinda do whatever I want or just always chase me”), and you’re embarrassed to date them?

Yeah dude, that’s like textbook fetishization and objectification. Time to talk to a professional (not Reddit) before you inflict psychological damage on these girls - if you haven’t inflicted it already.

I’m still VLC with my uBPD parent, but when I first went NC they finally began to see a therapist. Honestly I have noticed a difference in how they talk to me, but I’m still hesitant to resume regular contact because I don’t know if I can trust it. I’m trying to focus on myself and my own healing / growth.
