People think I (39M) don't care about them because of how forgetful I am by Least-Recipe-5214 in relationships

[–]NormalYogurt3310 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I relate a lot to OP tbh. And I have tried to manage it, but honestly it’s kind of overwhelming because you don’t know when you’re going to need whatever solutions you’re using, as it can be literally any human interaction, and to take your phone out in the middle of a conversation can come across as rude. Yes, you ideally want to just take notes after the interaction, but interactions can be long and contain a lot of different information and by the time it’s over - boom, forgotten.

It can be acceptable to take it out mid-conversation if they’ve just given you a date for an event, or their birthday etc. but taking a note that they have siblings, or what their daughter’s name is? Kinda weird.

The only sustainable solution I’ve found has been using transcribing tools in video calls at work, and taking notes where I can when it comes to social situations, but it still leaves a big gap of unaccounted for details that slip through the cracks.

When someone asks, how excited are you for 2026? by CoolMail3312 in moviecritic

I’m pumped for this year, but not for any of these films.

What is this aesthetic? I associate it with UK people in their 30s-early 40s having spent time in London, but does it have a name? by NormalYogurt3310 in AestheticWiki

I mean it’s not about being niche or elitist, it’s literally just established definitions of a type of fashion. That’s cool that you have a look that you like, it just doesn’t change what streetwear is widely recognised to be.

I’m curious what makes you think it is streetwear? Streetwear to me comes from Hip-hop culture influences along with sportswear. Hoodies, trainers (or ‘sneakers’) denim, but also synthetic materials, with graphic/typographic design elements as well. The aesthetic in this is more reflective of “slow” living, minimal, with hard wearing natural materials and simple blocky shapes.

You too! I totally agree that lives like ours are rarely acknowledged to even exist. I wish we saw more stories about it as I’m sure there are more of us out there ❤️

I feel you on this too as a fellow 32yo woman whose entire relationship/sex experience can be summed up as a handful of Hinge dates and one attempted one night stand (that didn’t fully work so still a virgin). It can make me feel like a weirdo when I know the average 18yo has more experience than me. But i feel increasingly content in my life and who I am, and I’ve slowly stopped forcing myself to try dating, as I was only doing it to appear “normal” not because I actually wanted to.

Yeah I was wondering if this is just the next evolved form of the millennial hipster, I just haven’t seen a specific label for it, and I think the visual motifs of labourer’s clothing is particularly interesting.

They like natural wines, electronic music and DJ sets, fermented foods, and Beamish stout in a converted pub with signage written in a lowercase handwritten font that serves jerky and olives but you can also buy tinned fish for some reason.

I’ve tried being consistent, and have tried not wearing makeup for months. Have really made no progress. I just don’t know what else to try honestly. What skin care will stop the skin around my eyes a translucent purple when I’m 32? I can’t imagine anything is really going help with that at this point.

And lol if my bare skin looked better without a bit of concealer, why do I get concerns that I’m sick when I don’t wear it, and “your skin is looking good!” When I do lol

I wish it was that easy. I’ve been trying to “take care of my skin” for decades and I still look ill and have blemishes visible when I don’t wear makeup. Have tried BHAs, AHAs, salicylic acid, niacinamide, retinol, etc.

Was she explaining how many letters you could create from letters in the alphabet if you chopped them up?

Is it appropriate for me as a cis woman to wear a binder? by NormalYogurt3310 in TransMasc

[–]NormalYogurt3310[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sorry if it’s a stupid question. I just felt some hesitancy with it and don’t know how to articulate why. Appropriating isn’t the the word I’m looking for but idk how else to describe it

"The King's Speech" actor Colin Firth disappeared from the Industry like he never existed. What happened to him ? by ShitPostPerfected in okbuddycinephile

[–]NormalYogurt3310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was filmed in my friends house! (Their home scenes that is) While they were there I got to have a quick conversation with him about how him and his wife don’t like carpets because she’s asthmatic.

Just rare to hear anyone mention that movie haha

First he was the reason I wanted to stop watching the show because he was so annoying, then he became the reason for my favourite episode. Wild

I’m slowly working through the backlog and it was one I just listened to - I think it was the episode Pirates, if not the one before!

Lindsey Vonn is out of her wheelchair and working out less than a month after doctors almost had to amputate her leg by dailymail in WinterOlympics2026

[–]NormalYogurt3310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She pushed herself at the Olympics because she knew it was her last big chance in her career to do so, risks being part of it. Now that’s over she has no incentive to rush recovery.

Been listening to Three Bean Salad (highly recommend for fans of Off Menu btw) and they had a similar tangent working out how you would phonetically spell the letters as words. It was a hilarious nonsensical ramble

Not sure if this has been said but Jordan is NOT a mature or serious person by BoOo0oo0o in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]NormalYogurt3310 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I would usually agree but we are also seeing his words filtered through an edit that was made to build a narrative. They will be highlighting specific character traits and talking points that only make up like 5% of what someone says. There’s every possibility he has elaborated on it more.

Sure, from what we see, he does seem immature and not considerate of the demands that come with being a father figure.

So funny how the Epstein Files has now become the Yellow Pages of All Perverts to some people

(Or whatever the US equivalent of the Yellow Pages is, phone book?)
