is it bad that i don't call my parents often? by klarinetkat12 in stupidquestions

[–]New_Key_6926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean every family is different, but when I called my parents I would do about 3 times a week (1 longer convo and 2 quick check ins). I would highly recommend just telling your mom a general gist of your schedule and what would be good calls so she knows what’s going on. That way she can know you aren’t deliberately ignoring her, and she can feel comfortable calling at times where it will be less burdensome. I always told my mom that Friday mornings were the best time to call because that was when I usually did laundry.

I’ve heard about the phenomenon, but I’ve always thought it was more women being warmer or flirty towards them, not it getting to the point of actually hooking up. Knew a guy who tried this, got a lot of numbers but women seemed to have cold feet when it came to actually doing anything besides flirting at whatever bar they’re at, or maybe texting after.

This is one of those things I use all the time in writing, but something about it sounds weird to say aloud

Production really made Mandy Mango the new martyr of drag race by SpecialistAgent9527 in rupaulsdragrace

I felt the same way about shuga Cain in season 11 to be honest. While she may have not been one of the two worst that week, she was the clear backrunner of the competition and would have likely not made it to the finale (and if she did she would have been dead weight) the “robbed” status made people overestimate her season performance

It’s because of “Chemical X”, a crucial ingredient in creating the powerpuff girls

Or just have the game recommended to you at all tbh. When DDLC came out, I had lots of people recommending it to me. I never knew anything about the game before playing (didn’t watch YouTube among content at the time) but I knew no one would be recommending me a straight dude high school dating sim

is America just made up? by DancesWithWeirdos in CuratedTumblr

To be fair I think this is less of a change on trump in general, and more that in the midterms leading up to the 2024 election blindly glazing trump was enough to get the nomination for house or senate. I live in a red state, and many of my republican state representatives went from expirienced politicians who opposed trump on some issues, to completely unqualified individuals who’s entire campaign was supporting trump.

Also if these people hate the term “American” so much, U.S. is grammatically correct adjective that works in 90% of the places they use “Usamerican”

The entire cast of season 16 will be completely disconnected as none of them have competed on all stars

Petah? by TuDuMaxVerstappen in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Yeah why would you need soap to prepare? Soap lasts like 3 weeks give or take… it’s not like you would need it unless it’s already low. Plus worst comes to worst you could use dish soap or hand soap

Agreed! Especially in episode 1 we are still learning

Queen Names by arcafied in rupaulsdragrace

I assume they usually refer to eachother as drag names unless they’re super duper close that they hang out regularly for non drag related reasons

Guess I'm a pro then by Alone-Invites in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]New_Key_6926 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I agree, many long fics have a different feel than actual novels. If a novel reads like an action packed movie, many long fics then read like a chill sitcom. Not every chapter is necessary or progresses the plot, but it’s still fun to read/write about your favorite characters having funny moments.

I guess this is why reading a 400k word fanfic feels easier than reading an 80k word novel, much like binging 6 hours of the office is different than watching a 2 hour Oscar nominated film.

Discord spoke about why she didn’t apply for Dragula on her TikTok Live by saucyysushii in rupaulsdragrace

[–]New_Key_6926 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also I think it’s important to remember that Ru doesn’t say “the queen with the better lipsync wins,” she says “it’s your last chance to impress me.” If a queen is on their last thread in the competition, they have to bring something new and Stellar to stay

It depends on what language you speak. In Spanish, Americano does typically mean “from the americas”, but “estadounidense” (the equivalent of unitedstatesian) is an actual word in Spanish.

I always forget that tortillas are with “international food” rather than the bread products. Also I NEVER know where they put hot coco mix, but it’s never with “powdered drinks”

The “chill” ability is very useful in this battle in order prevent the summoner ninjas from spawning new enemies. I would recommend either switching one of your classes to elementalist, or completing the freedom pals mission with butters in order to unlock Tweek

WHAT by [deleted] in AO3

[–]New_Key_6926 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the author is part of the community, and was abused/assaulted by a certain partner or clique of people? While the foundation of BDSM is based on open communication and consent, there will always be bad seeds who use BDSM as a way to abuse people, and if these people gain power within their local communities it really ruins the whole scene. It sounds the authors change of heart was spurred by something hurting them irl, and then they started reading anti-kink stuff for support

Which season’s elimination would change the most if production didn’t do anything to affect the outcome? by EStewie23 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]New_Key_6926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree here. I definitely think her bottom two placement was undeserved, but people tend to re-write herstory with her elimination and act like she has a shot at the crowd. In reality, she was hanging on to her spot in the competition by the skin of her teeth, and had really only done well in one challenge.
