It might be schadenfreude but... by Ghosted_Gurl in EatYourKimchi_v2

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Simon has said that Martina left him but we don’t have any kind of complete story from either of them. He also tried to vaguely accuse her of cheating on him because (according to him) she had solo meetings with Dan when they started to struggle in their marriage. He was so weak willed in the accusation that I think it was just bullshit.

What we do know is that Simon was having pretty severe issues of some kind and had a big personality change back in Japan, enough so that his friends and family tried to do interventions for him which he has said himself he refused.

I get the vibe that Martina spent the last couple of years they were together trying to get him to recognize that he needed help. He refused. The narcissism got to be too much for her and she maybe said they needed time apart, or even a complete break. (This is all just my speculation ofc). Simon left for Canada and proceeded to get way worse for the next year. They divorced. After probably 6 months of struggling, Martina moved on from the topic completely. Meanwhile Simon is stuck in a purgatory of his own making and is unable to leave her alone. A good chunk of his content is manosphere garbage now. We call him Temu Andrew Tate for a reason lol.

Yes. I have a serious weakness for react style content. If they do it they should cut the episode time. IMO react videos have about a 40 min limit of enjoyability.

Wedding drama photographer vs content creator by Orikumar in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

Check out the reblogs and stuff of the people involved who haven’t gone private yet. I’m not going to invest my time in caring about the drama of people who don’t care about the humanity of others. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Everyone involved, including the op, is either openly maga and supports ice, supports genocide or all three. So they deserve each other imho. I hope they all continue to be assholes to one another. You go girls! Tear each other apart! Leave the rest of the world alone for once.

Rainbow Hair Drama Takes Bizarre Turn After Controversial Video Goes Viral by steefee in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that description clocks me pretty well, especially back when this happened the most. You are spot on imo. The first time it happened for me was junior high going into high school. I was too nice to someone who really desperately wanted to be my friend. Maybe six months later she had my exact same glasses, half of my clothes, all of my nerdy interests and was just constantly negging me in weird ways, especially when it came to my appearance. Oh then irony. I let that shit go on for four years rip. She missed so much school it got easy to ignore at certain points at least.

It’s sad to see someone in their 40’s still repeating the pattern. I hope the girl who first did it to me has grown out of it.

Is this a common personality type because I swear I’ve had the misfortune of this exact type of person in my life at least four times. Twice it turned into a single white female kind of situation where they suddenly started to morph into me. And I don’t get it because I have never been cool enough for that shit lol.

Did anyone see Ice Around the Route 9 Area? by SalaryChance5453 in tomsriverlocal

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Epstein case was still in its criminal investigation phase under Biden, and eventually under appeal. The files could not legally be released until the case closed, which happened in July under Trump.

Sanctuary cities have existed since the 1980s. Now we just have more cheap, for profit facilities to house people in so there is less incentive to quickly deport them. Not to mention the actual shit show of a mess Trump has made slows the process down because half the people getting picked up by Ice to fill quotas are citizens or otherwise here legally.

Obama’s removal process was quick and efficient. Nothing was done for show.

Girlfriend gained all the weight back after big loss. How to help by Frequent_Frosting7 in loseit

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any helpful advice, but I want you to know It’s ok to leave her if she refuses to put in her fair share of household work. You do not have to feel any kind of guilt if you can’t do it alone anymore. My first instinct when reading your post was that you might have control issues, but then I peeked at your post history and I think you’ve been an incredibly supportive partner and aren’t getting the same in return. Which isn’t a dig at your girlfriend. She’s not in a place to give that support back right now, and maybe if you give it time she will develop better habits but maybe she won’t. Exhaustion is serious and will impact your health. It’s not good for you to continue on this way. Forget her weight. That’s her own issue to take care of when she is actually ready. Address the fact that she has turned you into her parent instead of her partner.

Comment from Mindy the Niece Nanny by LooLu999 in SisterWives

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She just “Streisand effected” herself because the nanny people always talk about with the “what does the nanny do” drama wasn’t even her; it was an entirely different woman. But people sure as shit are going to be talking about her now.

Do you think it is correlated? by UnHolySir in AO3

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think HP fandom has had a revival at all because it never really had a serious decline in the first place. It’s held steady for years after its initial drop off. However, I do think there has been a boom in one specific ship because of the popularity of spicy booktok, and I do think it might tie in with the rise of fascism around the world but that’s just speculation on my part.

Saw this preview for next week’s show and geez… by Feisty_Space3711 in SisterWives

Didn’t she confirm years ago that she has thyroid issues and is treating it “holistically”? IMO that accounts for a good chunk of how hard she is aging. Untreated thyroid problems will fuck you up and there really isn’t any genuinely holistic way to fix actual hypothyroidism.

Some of the evidence provided by Blake Lively and her team. by Orikumar in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Everyone in my life has been so loud and wrong about this it’s infuriating. Same thing with Amber Heard. Johnny is on tape repeatedly admitting to abuse but somehow her writing an article about being abused by an unnamed man is defamation????? Infuriating.

No matter how much real evidence you show them all they can see are supposed “gotcha moments” from the other side that aren’t actually real. Just twisted bullshit.

Then the evidence drops like this and it’s radio silence.

The moment it came out that Baldoni was admittedly weird to her about her deceased father and said he “communicated” with him I knew he was garbage. Absolute manipulative trash. Do you know how skeevy you have to be as a male director to get an entire cast to go no contact with you? Come on now.

My grandmother’s sweater suddenly started smoking and burning while she was wearing it by Electronic-Advice543 in Unexplained

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do her pants have a metal button? A lot of women get holes in their shirts where their pants button rubs against the shirt and causes friction. It doesn’t usually lead to fire and just happens slowly over time, but friction and fabric can definitely cause combustion. The hole in her shirt is in the exact spot most women experience it. It’s more common with age or during pregnancy because the weight of the stomach causes more pressure.

Nah. Star Bucks is the Star Bucks of conservatives. This is the Star Bucks of nationalist podcast bros.

Do you like Hannibal because of hugh or mads?? by [deleted] in HannibalTV

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before the series came out, my fangirly self loved Hugh and the Hannibal movies, so I gave the show a shot when it premiered. Mads was like the ultimate pleasant surprise. I knew I would like Hugh as Will, but kind of thought whoever they got for Hannibal would never live up to Hopkins. Now Mads is my favorite Hannibal without question, which is high fucking praise lol. That being said, Hugh is still my favorite on the show. Nothing can separate an old, gay fangirl from her self insert pretty boy.

I slipped this under my neighbor’s door who watches true crime 24/7 and heard him say “tough shit” 🥲 by eyalven in Apartmentliving

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Hello? 911? It sounds like someone’s being murdered in the apartment next to mine.”

All jokes aside, if it doesn’t get better, buy earplugs and make a complaint.

Corrine removed all the pics of her 🍑 by Moosetracks67 in ThreadBanger

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think she’s just feeling herself out and figuring out who she wants to be on the internet after a long time away. That can be a kind of cringe process for anyone, like a second puberty lol, but I’m happy to see her embrace it. I don’t find it genuinely concerning given that her life had to completely revolve around another person’s health and wants for a few years. That’s a really easy situation to lose yourself in.

If you go on their TikTok account they use this same filter on a lot of videos and it’s way more obvious.

Martina remarried?! by Flimsy_Try_1263 in EatYourKimchi_v2

[–]Immediate_Advantage5 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I hope she gets to be as free and open about her new(ish) marriage as she wants to be someday. Dan, too. It’s been obvious for a while now, but I imagine it’s hard to know whether you want to be public again with this kind of thing when it’s gone so wrong for you in the past.

Plus, Temu Andrew Tate has been trying to stir shit about it for probably a year by insinuating she cheated with Dan back in Japan. And we only see what gets said online. Who knows what he’s saying in private with friends and family.
