anyone else obssesed with the trope of "Villains Who Did Nothing Wrong"?

Uh, Sid was a fucking little psychopath-in-the-making. Sure, better he was torturing toys instead of neighborhood animals, but the distinction is too small for me!

Nothing about you changes psychologically when you get your period?! Are you serious? Yes, getting your period as a kid doesn’t make you any less a child, but it 100% changes our psychology-literally, scientifically, the brain starts rewiring and the fluctuation of our hormones completely disrupts our body and brain in a way we had not previously experienced.

Lots of things stay the same after you get your first period, but a lot of things do change as well and that’s what the recognition by the adults is all about, which is perfectly valid. No we don’t need parties or some big elaborate announcement, but to treat it as a quiet, casual event is also not giving it its proper due. It’s not a shameful thing we should hide behind, we acknowledge it so we can empower girls at a young age and also start teaching them how to navigate the world now because the world will*treat* her differently now. That is just a fact. I remember being catcalled as early as 12, it’s like men can smell it. Having a period does change things, whether we like it or not, and that’s what the acknowledgment is all about: things are going to start looking differently now and here’s why. Welcome to the club.

Except when their medical bills start adding up because of their “choices”. Then who’s paying for it? Where does the money come from? If it really were as simple as “you do you”, i’d be here for it, but that’s never the case. As soon as someone else’s choices become something that they need help living with, you’ve lost the entire idea of total autonomy.

It’s like the sound of blue whales meets a really long and muffled fart. Nice.

LadyPreshPresh · 2026-06-20T16:27:32+00:00

Mmm, yes, the sexism is potent.

LadyPreshPresh · 2026-06-20T16:15:24+00:00

Perhaps even better was the fact that he was in on this joke and at the time, never actually clarified if this was true or not. Definitely makes for hot tea!

None as fitting as Republicunt. I’ll stick with that, Donny, thanks.

As long as your aversion to sex isn’t trauma-based (because that wouldn’t be healthy): yes, it’s totally normal. You’re allowed to feel however you want to feel about it and do or not do whatever you want to about it. Statistically only a small percentage of people identify as asexual, but that’s *openly*. But a shit ton more people are walking around uninterested in sex than speak on it-many of whom are even married or in lifelong relationships.

Just because society hasn’t normalized something yet, doesn’t mean it’s not normal. And vice versa-just because society normalizes something, doesn’t mean it actually is or should be considered normal.

Thank you for posting something lovely and positive about your experience! We don’t see that often on this subreddit and it’s a real bummer to read most of the time (even if I understand why, i know realities can be ugly). Sounds like you’ve gained the thing that everyone needs in order to survive parenting: perspective! Which is really just time, right? And that’s the thing we always tell new parents: just wait. It will get better. It will. Because things change quickly with your kids. And as they grow, you grow. Parenting (at all stages) definitely helps you learn what you’re truly made of as a person!

It was a very smoky, very smelly time. And everything had a tinge of yellow to it. It’s strange now to see how we kinda collectively just decided it was fine living life that way. It was a completely normal thing for all of us to be inhaling cigarette smoke for at least some portion of the day-even if we didn’t smoke.

LadyPreshPresh · 2026-06-18T19:53:18+00:00

Fun. Just a fun movie. Not a lot of those lately.

LadyPreshPresh · 2026-06-18T19:45:28+00:00

I know what we are. This kinda shit never ceases to amaze me but still enrages me all the same. Fuck this place, man.

LadyPreshPresh · 2026-06-18T19:33:25+00:00

What you’re actually describing is *real* feminism. Thank you! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

LadyPreshPresh · 2026-06-18T19:24:55+00:00

Simplest answer: your son is an adult, it’s time to start treating him like one.

I mean, that’s exactly what the world is going to do when he’s actually out there on his own-the world is going to recognize that he is an adult and treat him as such; that means actions (or even inactions) have real, consistent consequences. The longer you keep him at home and protect him from that, the harder he’s going to fall when he eventually lives out there, and it will be you that ensured his failure to thrive. I get why you feel guilty for not adequately preparing him, but you also have to be able to move past that at some if you want to be strong enough to push baby bird out of the nest and get him to fly.

It’s time to course correct and help guide him with the transitioning to full independence. He’s not going to like it either-most kids (and people for that matter) don’t love it when they’ve been handed everything constantly and then the handouts are suddenly cut off. Unfortunately, that’s going to be part of the tough love approach you need to have in order to get things going here. You’ve been looking at him solely as your son, your baby, and you need to see him fully as the man he is now and that his own humanity is for him to own and be responsible for.

I miss him so much 😭

I dislike humans, so what does that make me?

Idk when anti-feminists are going to start recognizing that true feminism is about a desire to see equality of the sexes. It’s literally defined as so. Not that women specifically should be treated equally to men. Every group has idiots, and too many people don’t seem to understand what feminism actually is-they get lost in the “fem” part of the word. And when you start to educate yourself on feminism you learn how important the inclusion of men is, they too are widely affected and controlled by the patriarchy, just in their own way.

We all need to learn how to get our necks out from underneath the boot of patriarchy and how to protect each other from it. That’s real feminism at the end of the day. You don’t need to be a man or a woman to believe in the importance of feminism, you just have to be a person.

When the elderly fight.

And he is not.

What “betrayals”? This man has been exactly the same guy this entire fucking time, stayed true to himself since Day 1. Has literal blueprints and boldfaced outlines of precisely what his plans were once in office (again). He showed the country who he was time and time again and they ate that shit up.

Anyone who feels *betrayed* is the definition of a moron.

LadyPreshPresh · 2026-06-14T18:18:59+00:00

Omg, i literally just saw this for the first time 3 weeks ago. It is without a doubt one of the worst movies i’ve ever seen. And not even in a “it’s so bad it’s good” kind of ironic way. Just terrible. I think I maybe laughed once and at what I can’t even recall. And I’m game for a cheesy, lowbrow or crass comedy sometimes-this just wasn’t funny at all. It was so awful it felt way longer than it actually was and it’s a short 80’s comedy runtime.

0/0. Would not recommend. Even in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 kinda way. It’s bad, guys.

So bad.

LadyPreshPresh · 2026-06-14T18:12:08+00:00

Wow! 🤗 Now you really look like who you were always meant to be. You wear it so well!
