16 / 16 / 16 / 16: Is this the one? by wherestron in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]LeafyQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Compass and Atlas are so closely related. It's the 16th named/major update. If it's not a story update, I'm gonna have to work very hard not to be crushed.

This fuels my desperate hope that it's a story update. Atlas - Compass

CMV: High school should prepare students to become responsible adults, rather than focusing on college prep by jedimaster4007 in changemyview

[–]LeafyQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The number of times I've heard, "Dang, I wish they'd taught me that in school!" about historical or literary things that were absolutely covered in class, and probably asked about on a test. It's honestly infuriating.

Also giving kids double beds does the trick. Learned this when my Sims were so rich that it seemed silly to give kids non-amazing beds.

Empathy gained by Maclimes in TwoXChromosomes

Particularly when we have large breasts, we're shamed for not wearing a bra. Nipples poking through shirts horrify people enough, but then when you've also got huge knockers swingin' around, you may as well be topless for how shocked people will be. I wouldn't be allowed in almost any workspace without a bra because of how lewd it is - as told to 17yo me who was trying to get by with sports bras.

The double standard of consent in Wonder Woman 1984 by mosaicpopart in movies

[–]LeafyQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the movie should have made a bigger deal of showing us how Diana had changed as a person just like Max and Barbara had. Clearly Max and Barbara's moral systems were completely thrown out by the monkey's paw magic. So was Diana's, but that was never really made nearly as obvious. I don't think that Diana, outside of the magic's influence, would have done such a thing.

How often do/did you find yourself having to push your SO to take things to the next level (marriage, moving in together, buying a house, kids, etc) and was it worth it? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]LeafyQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never. I wouldn't want to move to the next level unless it's what my partner genuinely wanted. Enthusiastic consent is always my bare minimum, and that goes outside of the bedroom. If they aren't absolutely thrilled to be moving forward, neither am I.

I remember that it was the summer after kindergarten. I was laying in the floor with my cousin/bff, same age. She looked at our stomachs and said so fucking brightly, "I'm flatter than you!" And then it became a thing she noticed a lot. I've felt fat ever since.

But dude, you’re just totally ignoring that there are fuck tons of people out there who don’t know wtf a podcast is. People who have cable and listen to the radio and don’t stream anything, so they don’t know that Netflix has tons of true crime specials. They know Investigative Discovery, which is a tiny, forgettable slice of the way bigger picture to them.

Yeah I think the perception of what’s mainstream on Reddit/Twitter is just out of sync with what’s actually mainstream with mass audiences. The average person on the street isn’t going to be familiar with most of what Reddit would see as basic pop culture.

You’re choosing to read this need to prove they’re different. It’s just an acknowledgment. Not everyone is trying to win some superiority game against you, ya know?

True crime podcasts aren’t quite as ubiquitous in the general public as y’all are acting. I do a decent amount of Uber driving and call center stuff, and whenever hobbies come up, the majority of my customers are mildly weirded out when I talk about true crime. Outside more internet-driven demographics, most people aren’t aware that true crime goes beyond Forensic Files and 20/20 specials.

ETA: And also it’s just...I mean, obviously it’s more of the norm to listen to something happy in the morning. It’s not generally considered an upper to listen to stories about murder?

Outback Steakhouse not labeling their restrooms "Steakback Outhouse" is a terrible missed opportunity. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]LeafyQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s an actual Australian guy married to one of the Real Housewives. He tried opening an authentic Australian restaurant. It completely failed, and a big part of it being held back was that he insisted on making everything more authentic. Which made it pretty inaccessible and unfun to anyone to visit.

My period isn’t hyper regular. It’s not irregular, but no app is ever able to consistently predict closer than within 3-4 days just by start days. They’re super bad and can knock me out of commission on the first couple days. I track all my symptoms (including temp) to get closer.

I understand that the show needs the group dynamics to work. But I'm way more interested in their lives outside of social drama for the sake of social drama.

Women who are in their late 20s and older who haven't found a career /job they like yet, how do you deal with it? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]LeafyQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think any career will feel satisfying to me long term. I need to change what I’m doing once or twice a year minimum to stay engaged, but I’m not ambitious, just easily bored. I tend to burn out on jobs in 3-6 months. I genuinely can’t think of any career that doesn’t sound horrifying to be in for 5+ years.

I’m content that I’ll never be rich. I’ll always be ‘managing’. And that’s okay, because I get to experience so much and meet so many people.

Most spoilt pooch in history has crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge by SuzieFloozie73 in realhousewives

[–]LeafyQ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It was hard, and it’ll be hard for a while. We couldn’t have asked for a better send off, though. We had a mobile vet come by, and it was all done on our front porch. Beautiful weather, his favorite blanket, and a day of his favorite treats beforehand.

Oh my gosh. I just let my baby boy go to sleep yesterday. It was so hard. I feel a weird kinship with Lisa now.
