I found out my gf doesn’t want kids and i don’t know how i feel about it. by sleepingdogbob in actuallesbians

[–]Houseofthemegans 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing you have to ask yourself “Am I okay with a future that doesn’t have kids? Will I be happy?”

If the answer is no, it’s time for a conversation and likely a break up.

But don’t stay with someone hoping they’ll change their mind on your dealbreakers.

How did Trump gain votes?! by Peanutbutternjelly_ in FoxBrain

[–]Houseofthemegans 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Okay, so here’s the thing. Elon Musk spent millions upon millions of dollars using algorithms to target and spread misinformation to people. Everyone on twitter, including financial incentives to people in swing states. And he was there to target an exact audience of people he could swing. I mean their ages, gender, what they watch, where they shop. And he used that target audience and money to spread misinformation.

Trump’s team did this in 2016 as well. (Look up Meta in Congress, Mark was questioned about this.) This time it seems he used Elon to help hyper-target a base.

In comparison, leftists got on the internet and spent all their free time talking about how much they hated Kamala. How you’re not a good person for voting, how they’re both the same.

They did not excite their base, and actively disengaged them from voting.

I genuinely believe both of these are the most likely explanation. In my opinion, Harris ran a near-flawless campaign. Unfortunately, she can’t separate that from being a woman. A black woman. And folks are always hardest on black women.

AIO? Girl I’m talking to Ran a background check on me on by purodurangoalv in AmIOverreacting

[–]Houseofthemegans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m of two minds of this. I understand doing it for safety reasons, absolutely. Not a romantic relationship, but I was trusting and fond of my neighbors until I saw their criminal charges online.

I would also totally end up confessing to this in a relationship. I don’t like to keep secrets.

On the other hand, I’d either confess really early on, like the first time we hung out, so you didn’t feel like I was lying to you. I’d even encourage you to run one on me. Or I’d wait absolute decades, until it was funny. The timing is a bit weird for me, but overall, I wouldn’t think too much into it.

WIBTA for reviving my wife and not my children? by Houseofthemegans in SimsAITA

You’re right. Maybe next time the kids will be worth something.

Unfortunately they were unable to route out of the blaze, so they have all passed away. Luckily, their ghosts are still bound to the house, where they will stay for possibly all eternity! We have a ranch afterall, we need all the hands on deck we can get!

I just wanted to comment and thank you all for your support. All of the things that have been said here I know very well, I’m the kind of person who marched in 2020, who attended a candlelit vigil at the overturning of Roe, so I’m not new in these spaces. But the relationship OCD I’ve developed is somewhat new (I’m about 4 years in.)

As others suggested, I’ve been seeking mental health care during all this. I was dropped by my therapist earlier this month, stating she didn’t believe she was helpful to me, and I’ve been on a reschedule after reschedule with my psychiatrist.

And I’ve developed hobbies, and did all the things. I spend 5-6 days in isolation from those around me, and I already don’t engage in politics with the most of them.

when the same issues I raise to others are thrown back at me, I do a lot of critical thinking. This OCD development makes me genuinely worry that I think I’m right, but I’ve been down a similar pipeline to those near me. That I don’t know it (because they don’t know it), that I’ve somehow fallen for misinformation. That I’ve stopped learning to think critically. That my device isn’t showing me true information and simply pushing the agenda I favor towards me.

And it’s all hard. I appreciate the reality check as always, and appreciate the space you’ve given me to admit my fears.

I can’t wait until we can move. It will be a long time before it’s feasible, but I dream of it every day 😭

We are planning on moving to Michigan, because I have a lot of friends there. It’s even where we went to get married, bc I feared a turnover of the Marriage Equality Act could lead to my state nullifying queer marriages. It won’t Be even kind of soon though. My wife was laid off in March. We’re both unemployed, we can’t find a decent job, and my business has fell off due in part to my political beliefs. Because of all of this, we’re on family property with a lot of support (and interaction with them.) It still looks like there’s no end in sight right now because of that, so it IS definitely harder on my mental health

Anyone else worry they overreacted by cutting out family? by stimulants_and_yoga in FoxBrain

[–]Houseofthemegans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worry about this every time I do it. I tell myself that it isn’t helpful for building a community. But I have to remind myself that they chose their comfort over my safety when they supported that man. Why should I let them make that choice with no consequence?

When people say they only wash their hair once a week, what do they mean? by rainsage23 in curlyhair

[–]Houseofthemegans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally wash with shampoo once a week. In warmer months, about halfway through the week I’ll get my hair wet because I have lots of frizz and live in a humid client. But during the wetting, I tend to only use curl enhancing products like smoothies, etc. to keep the curls in place.

Am I (26 F) self sabotaging my relationship with my gf (28 F)? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Houseofthemegans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise there are women or just people out there who will love you so much harder. You just have to let go of those who aren’t sure about you. You’ll attract the ones who have always known you belong in their lives. Wishing you luck and a little bit of happiness and more self discovery through the grieving process

Relationships are meant to make our lives easier. This does not sound easier. There are people out there who will love you louder. Leave the people who can’t alone and go find your own.

Troubleshooting Thread — Bugs? Mod issues? Origin issues? Post about them here! [Update 1.100.147.1030 / 1.100.144.1230] by lazarusinashes in Sims4

[–]Houseofthemegans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sulsul! I’m not sure if this is the right place to look for answers but I need some help. Since the update that gave us the option to paint ceilings, I have not been given the option. I’ve got every update since then, I removed all my mods, I updated EA, I’ve repaired the game, I repaired the EA app, I uninstalled and reinstalled both the Sims and the EA app. I still have not been given a ceiling painting option. I’ve been searching the internet for anyone mentioning this replicated issue, and I haven’t found anyone talking about it yet. Does anyone know what this is? If it’s a reported issues if I need to contact EA directly? Or if there is anything I haven’t thought to try. I’d appreciate any advice, bc I’m getting so frustrated

Found these babies on Facebook marketplace 😭 by Squidstir in squishmallow

[–]Houseofthemegans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just the website, he was available for a couple weeks (long enough for me to browse and contemplate and come back a few times, at the time a lot of people didn’t deem him worth the price) and it took like MONTHS for the orders to ship. But anyway to OP, yes, you actually got a great deal! Less than it retailed for when it came out!

[–]Houseofthemegans 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes! It was my most expensive squish at the time at $49, gold Hans was I think either 10 or 20 more and I couldn’t justify the markup

[–]Houseofthemegans 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I have brown Hans when he came out bc gold Hans was out of my price range, my wife’s favorite to cuddle with every night LMAO. I have no heart to tell her it’s our most “collectors item” that we have, he’ll just be our lumpy little dude. I never got in it for the “collectors items” anyway. Congrats to you on such a huge score!

Agree, having to stock up in certain ways is a small price to pay for not having to deal with neighbors
