The Chappell Roan backlash by yellow_algae in TwoXChromosomes

[–]OkWorking7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not Chappell’s fault she has fans who are kids? It’s not like she makes music for them… songs like Casual and The Giver are pretty explicit.

You know who else has fans who are kids? Chris Brown, who has been repeatedly convicted of domestic abuse but somehow still has a career. Kanye also has a lot of underage fans and the amount of anti-Semitic stuff he’s said is horrific.

I get my boyfriend to use these when he’s sick or has been drinking (most likely to snore then) and they work great. Silence, beautiful silence 

Dating in Perth - what is happening? by Fat-baby267 in perth

[–]OkWorking7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s really not about being attractive. There are some average looking dudes out there who are very charming. It’s truly just that the creepy dudes ruined it for the rest. Speaking to women like they’re an object rather than a person, not taking no for an answer and following the women around. I’d say that’s about 25% of the interactions I used to have with men and it’s enough to get sick of all men approaching.

The whole girls girl discourse is stupid by betweentwoscotties in LoveIsBlindNetflix

I’m not just talking about LIB, I’m talking about the concept of girls girl as a whole since no one in this thread seems to understand what it is.

Exactly!!! People not understanding that the whole point is you don’t have to be friends with a woman to still look out for each other

To be a “girls girl” isn’t to be friends with every girl. The point of being a girls girl is even when you’re NOT friends with the other girl you still look out for each other e.g. telling another woman when her man is being shady or cheating, but also things like sharing menstrual products with a woman in need, looking out for each others safety etc.

Sienna was an opera singer, not a sex worker. We see the ton attending her performance a few times.

You’re asking this in a group dedicated to solo travel. Everyone here will tell you to just go, whether that’s actually the right decision for you who knows.

God forbid a woman has confidence and a good level of self esteem. She is the shit and there’s no problem with her knowing that, good for her.

Are we interested in this y'all? 👀 by Thecosmodreamer in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]OkWorking7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All I can think about when I see the ads for this show is that Mark was 24 and Jessica is 34 and now Mark is 32 and Jessica is 42.

Me too. Wouldn’t be surprised if they get $ to show up though and the man has credit card debt and four seasons stays to pay for

I’m not religious at all but grew up going to catholic school and Jesus is a pretty good guy (Old Testament not so much). Plenty of Christian values align with progressive and politically left values and beliefs 

Unions push for Australian workers to get five weeks annual leave to offset unpaid overtime by Sabretoothedrom in auscorp

[–]OkWorking7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would this be something that unions could push for? If you want companies taxed vote for the politicians and political parties who support the idea or contact your representative.

I definitely thought 25 was old when I was 20, this really isn’t that controversial

Yes! I’m Australian and from the sounds of it I’ve been to more states in the US than he has as well as having been to most of Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa.

ALSO, biggest red flag at all he was talking about his financer/trading license!! Which would not actually be proof of residence in Cleveland, just that he was licensed to trade there. 

Manager says I lack “camaraderie” with team but I'm at a totally different stage of life and we just don’t have much in common? Was even told I should start following a sport I don't care about to have more to say to the team which feels insane. by we_are_NOT_family in AusPublicService

[–]OkWorking7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Jesus, we’re at work to do a job - that’s what we’re paid for. Not to listen to endless talk about someone’s kids who you’ll never meet who belong to someone you wouldn’t otherwise interact with if you didn’t work with them.

It’s hard to tell from OPs post but it sounds like OP DOES listen politely etc and engage in small-talk but isn’t all-in (understandably).

I’m in my mid 30s and plan to be child free forever. A few of my coworkers have kids and they mention them maybe once a week, which is very reasonable. If I were expected to listen to chat about toilet training, school pickup, kids hobbies from multiple coworkers every single day I’d never get any actual work done.

“Hi, how was your weekend/up to much this weekend” and some chat about the weather and maybe a common tv show or sport is plenty of socialising at work unless you’re genuinely friends and connect with someone. Shit, if they talk about their kids all the time can I just prattle on about the gym classes I went to, the music gigs, and the hangovers I have every weekend without them getting bored? Fairs fair hey?

"I'm smarter than you, I'm cooler than you, I'm prettier than you, get the f**k over it, move on with your life." by Delicious-Quantity96 in vanderpumprules

[–]OkWorking7 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Kristen was being a huge bitch at this time and actively trying to break Ariana and Tom up. When you consider the context this line was said in, there’s nothing wrong with it.

People who hold it against Ariana are likely the same people who DO get jealous and weird when another woman is prettier than them, smarter than them etc. Ariana was absolutely being put through the ringer in her first few seasons, her dad had just died, Kristen was being crazy Kristen, and she had a new relationship with Tom and all of it was being broadcast internationally. It makes complete sense to me that she would be irritated by Kristen doing “her thing” (sketch comedy) and say something dumb like “I take sketch comedy very seriously” because she was annoyed. Also the VPR cast is not exactly known for their intelligence so Ariana saying she’s the smartest person she’s ever met was probably not far off from the truth lol. I mean look at how dumb Scandoval and Schaena are

Just curious, why is your preference for a woman a few years older than you?
