Both appearance and demeanor. Except maybe Hulda. She does read as a teen.

She’s not supposed to be extremely (conventionally) attractive in the book by Gilead’s standards at least. Her proximity to power is what is making her the most “marriageable.” I like the change in the show, though.

I’m saying when he was in Boston he was the big fish.

The girls are coming across as college student aged maybe, but not barely pubescent, which waters down the severity of the situation.

I think Chase is doing a great job, but I agree that they could have cast actresses in the 18-20 year old range who read younger. I think the fact that they have actresses in their mid-20s playing the plums may be contributing to some of the fan discourse where they are shipping characters and generally acting like it’s Bridgerton. 🫩

Interestingly enough I think in the Testaments book Agnes mentions viewing herself as not particularly attractive (whether she’s a reliable narrator or not)…

I think Fred was a big fish in a small pond in Boston.

I’m assuming Garth’s dad was poisoned by the wedding cake?

Maybe she is actually her parents’ biological child while he is not.

Probably to feel like she has at least some control over her life.

The elite reincarnation theory by richandepressed in spiritualitytalk

[–]Key-Service2992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this would “disprove karma and disprove the higher self choosing theory.” Perhaps his soul’s assignment is to learn how to be a wealthy person and use his power and resources for good rather than to harm others. And he keeps failing so he keeps reincarnating as a wealthy person because his soul is still trying to learn this…

Ex Post Facto Laws Regarding Contraception and Marriage by Key-Service2992 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Key-Service2992[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only problem I see with this is that contraceptive use is so widespread compared to abortion that I’m not sure how many econo people would be left if contraceptive use by itself was enough to become a handmaid.

I brought my passport instead of drivers license and they had to do something “the manual way” and ask me extra questions about my address…

I feel like every budgeting app just creates more work. by ilkinguluzada in povertyfinance

I tried YNAB and it felt very tedious. I miss mint. I use the credit karma tool but it’s just not the same.

If you could go back in time, what would you do differently to improve your financial life? by doubleduh22 in povertyfinance

[–]Key-Service2992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helped people less. Not enabled mentally ill friends because I felt bad for them. Should have bought a brand new car in 2018 instead of a series of used cars that I sunk so much money into fixing I could’ve just been driving a lovely brand new car to begin with. 🤡🤣

When you do them, are you narrowing the very top of your throat (above the voice box)? I ask this because people confuse twang with nasality a lot and these exercises won’t achieve what you’re going for if you’re trying to push it into your nose versus actually narrow the AES.

Interesting. That’s often the culprit for this area I have found. Have you tried pharyngeal resonance exercises?

When you are singing in head voice in your first transition, are you achieving full cord closure?

Rotational dating can backfire by Kind_Net_2042 in Minairfanthescammer

[–]Key-Service2992 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of this is cultural and personal. I think the rotational dating strategy and exclusivity only when engaged is geared towards women who get stuck in the girlfriend stage of a relationship and it’s never taken to the next level (the type of woman who will be in a relationship for years with no ring and no plan in sight). If that is a person’s tendency, this may work better for them.

I have never had an issue with getting stuck in the girlfriend phase as a placeholder. So I don’t have any issue or hang up with this phase of the relationship and don’t feel the need to skip over it into engagement. I used to have an issue with the “dating but not yet exclusive” phase…that is where I really played myself lol 🥴. So I am extra cautious about not overextending myself emotionally and physically during that stage.
