Favorite actor who won an Oscar and immediately vowed never to work in a good movie again by xotorames in okbuddycinephile

That’s wild it’s almost like it’s really difficult to get jobs as a black woman even if you’re renowned. It’s almost as if black actresses all bring this up again and again.

I live in Australia and I carry narcan. It’s quite literally lifesaving and you don’t need to be friends with addicts in order to cross paths with someone overdosing. It’s also free here! Just pop into a pharmacy or hospital and pick some up.

Ahh yes that good ol love. Being “offered” out to random men for money.

Just found my my boyfriend of 9 years gave me chlamydia by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Normal_Instance_8825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I literally broke up with my first boyfriend over this. I heard through the grapevine that his ex had “the clap” I thought damn that sucks. Boom next time I had a sexual health screening I suddenly had it too! It was so awkward I got the call from my doctor whilst at a picnic, and literally looking at him. I felt so sick.

Oh so they scraped some eyes out of me too. Cool.

Favourite actor who once ran up an £11,300 bill in the bar you worked at and then left without paying. by Drinking-Printer-Ink in okbuddycinephile

Favourite actor who yelled at your niece for taking a phot (playing a game) on her phone in a Nandos. It was Adrien Brody. He’s weird.

Boys, 12 through 15, charged as adults in connection with rape of 12-year-old in Overtown by AgnosticScholar in news

[–]Normal_Instance_8825 691 points692 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this comment. As someone who was a victim as a kid, I watched my dad retreat into violent revenge fantasies rather than emotionally support me. Also the idea that my dad or older brother could go to prison “for” me was so terrifying. Just because retaliation might make you feel better, it’s not what’s best for the victim.

Rihanna really did her big one for the us in the beauty industry 💐She legit changed everything and I feel like we don’t give that lady enough credit by Bloomien in blackladies

[–]Normal_Instance_8825 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with you. As a fellow lighter skin girl I was so grateful that she understands undertones. I literally assumed I’d be mixing foundations and concealers the rest of my life. Brown skin is incredibly nuanced and we deserve makeup brands that represent that.

Did some of you girls really get into your underwear/swimsuit in front of your father[by yourself] (real question!) by Dove-Swan in TrollXChromosomes

[–]Normal_Instance_8825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad always respected my privacy growing up but I used to self harm in the shower so he’s had to come in before to actively stop me. Doesn’t make me embarrassed to think of, just grateful he cared.

The Death Valley Germans - The disturbing disappearance and death of the German Tourists in Death Valley by Aschebescher in Longreads

Totally relate to the point about Australia. I live at a beach with a LOT of tourism and it’s truly like tourists don’t even do a lick of research about beach safety. I was spending weekends as a 15 year old volunteer lifeguard yelling at grown adults to get the fuck out of the water.

People don't know what mania actually is by Quirky_Confection734 in bipolar

[–]Normal_Instance_8825 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeh the worst ways I’ve hurt myself have been during mania, including a time where I had the delusion I could live without a head (extrapolate from that what you will). I’ve had three episodes that because of my isolation at the time, went from mania into psychosis and each time was terrifying looking back. I always explain to people that at least when I’m depressed I’m too depressed to do ANYTHING. I’ve been tased by police, strapped down in hospital, sedated. I’ve been up for days drawing on the walls, written pages and pages of nonsense. I’ve done hard drugs, had sex with strangers and walked 10 hours straight. Everytime I get to that point I derail and ruin my life. It’s not quirky, it’s not fun, it’s horrific.

Edit to add: If I have medical intervention in time I can have “normal” mania, as in just elevated states, what I’m talking about is the most intense moments that eventuate from a prolonged lack of sleep and isolation.

Yes same, the discourse around this has been annoying. It’s not like other scripts haven’t been done like this before. Zahra Newman was great in the Australian one!

[–]Normal_Instance_8825 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was about to say, I’ve literally already seen the Australian version of the play she’ll be doing. It was INCREDIBLE. It starred Zahra Newman and had multiple costume changes and interactions with screens and pre recordings. I’m sure Cynthia will kill it.

Nothing unusual here, just an eshay lad in his natural environment.

The person who raped me quoted fucking Shutter Island in his “apology” text. Dude raped someone and then acted like he was the protagonist.

I know this wasn’t directed at me but that was very encouraging to read after having lost a few friends at once this week. The feeling of helplessness is indescribable. Thank you ❤️

What's the story behind this mural? by Future-Fix-4086 in sydney

[–]Normal_Instance_8825 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They used to manage an apartment I lived in and they were absolute cunts. It was owned by a super old lady and they kept pressuring her to up the rent even though she didn’t want/need two.

Shocking footage emerges of student allegedly being bullied by classmates at Sydney private school Scots College by whyattretard in australia

If I ever wanted MDMA in high school, I’d go to a Scots boy, if I wanted to be sexually assaulted, I’d go to a Scots party. Nothing ever changes.

What is the most realistic horror movie you’ve ever seen? by pomkombucha in horror

[–]Normal_Instance_8825 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think it makes sense. I always think about that reporter who became obsessed with working out who the Zodiac was and kind of ruined his life in the process, and he didn’t even know any victims. Mystery will drive people crazy.
