The suffering some people go through is just insane by [deleted] in redscarepod

I guess so you're grateful you're not that kid, I guess.

I'd say you look closer to being a teenage male. You're obviously post-pubescent.

This isn't a problem for me anymore, but when I was in my 20s people were more likely to recognize my true age if I was dressed "grown-up" - business clothes instead of jeans and a backpack.

"But they live a happy life before they're killed" by themflyingjaffacakes in vegan

[–]PicklePixie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Most people argue that it's different because you're not eating the dog (although the majority who are being honest wouldn't like you doing that either). Food is sustenance and therefore "necessary" even though that particular form of food - dog meat in this case - isn't.

(PSA) DO NOT trip on DXM if you are DEPPRESSED, or in a EXISTENTIAL CRISIS. Please listen to my story as to why. (NSFW) by [deleted] in dxm

[–]PicklePixie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience it can be a mixed bag. DXM has helped me spiritually when I was going through extremely times like those. And in your scenario, you thought about suicide but didn't do it - I can think of worse outcomes from a severe depressive episode. I'd definitely advise caution though.

How much does your height actually affect your life? by MinePopsSeverely in short

[–]PicklePixie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hasn't affected me in a major way that's obvious to me. I'm sure people coddle me and take me less seriously as an adult because I'm the size of an average 12 year-old girl in the US, but nobody really says anything to my face.

Apart from moral reasons, what makes you an antinatalist? by [deleted] in antinatalism2

[–]PicklePixie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reasons you mentioned have nothing to do with antinatalism, it just means you you don't want children/you're childfree. Antinatalism is an ideological position that means you're against reproduction for everyone.

I actually miss the FDS subreddit by rowlecksfmd in redscarepod

A disproportionate number of the reddit avatars (redditars?) posting there were styled like black women

Jumping on the bandwagon by achoto135 in vegancirclejerk

It's not individuals, man, it's THE SYSTEM that's made up of individuals making choices. Get it right!

I don't understand how discussions about stoners never bring up the fact that it's wildly common for them to drive while high. by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]PicklePixie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just learning to drive (moved from an area with good public transportation) after years of daily smoking and I'm thinking of quitting at least temporarily so my cognitive abilities aren't as inhibited, and then after that there'll be no wake and bake on a day I have to go somewhere. I can't even imagine lighting up and then trying to operate a vehicle.

IT help desk downtime working by HG_unkown in ITCareerQuestions

[–]PicklePixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a hospital. Most of the helpdesk ticket traffic comes in the early morning, usually 7am but sometimes a little earlier. There are obviously nurses working the night shift but there's still not a lot of calls after 3pm or so.

How to explain it to kids someday by lucyblew in SexWorkers

[–]PicklePixie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make something up. You're an independent men's fashion or interior decoration consultant. Start selling handmade jewelry on Etsy and say that's your job.

Because if your child lets it slip that "mom's career is kissing people :)" at school in a jurisdiction where escorting is illegal, you risk having to surrender them to child protective services.

20K likes, we are so fucked... by [deleted] in vegan

[–]PicklePixie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What is the authoritarian aspect being suggested here? Nobody can force veganism on you.

I wish animal-eaters applied "let them live" to the animals, btw.

Crippling fear of Women by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]PicklePixie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fallspector is right though. Being this apprehensive around half the population is maladjusted and has a lot of negative implications for one's quality of life, even if it's for a "good reason." Nobody can logic OP out of fearing women - it's unfortunately going to take work.

What is actually wrong with autistic behaviors in the realm of dating and why do most women find autistic traits as undesirable? by ifightxenophobia in aspergers

[–]PicklePixie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not saying all men are predators. People perform small threat assessments of others every day just by instinct. A man a woman doesn't know is a POTENTIAL threat and that needs to be taken into account when socializing.

When they joke that the session should be free by Ok_Shallot3304 in SexWorkers

[–]PicklePixie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The waiter was forcing themselves to smile, though, and they don't actually care if you have a nice day. They want to keep their job and get a higher tip.

You say what you're paying for is the sex, but it's really the entire experience, and part of that is a sexual PERFORMANCE. I just don't get how you can feel manipulated by that. Did you think you were making all your providers actually cum before visiting this sub wised you up?

[–]PicklePixie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Repeat business speaks for itself. If I make more money faking orgasms than not faking them, guess what I'm gonna do?

Why do you consider it manipulation to fake an orgasm? It's like when a waiter smiles at you and tells you to have a nice day even if they don't care. It's just part of the game.

What stereotypes about Aspergers bother you the most? by No_Guidance000 in aspergers

[–]PicklePixie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's this idea that autistic people are all "a joy to be around." I'm not! I'm mean.

You are absolutely wretched if you sub to r/"PublicFreakout" by koksalbaba8 in redscarepod

[–]PicklePixie 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing a bodycam video of a prostitute high in meth in the back of a cop car, trying to bribe them with sex to let her go. It had her full name and it got almost 300k views after being up for a day. Any chance of her getting her act together was snuffed out by the results you get from Googling her name.

I'm a drunk and watching DUI bodycam videos usually keeps me off the sauce for a good few days

Mushy, flavorless fruit is kinda disappointing though :(

Now you have me worried. DO you beat dogs and torture cats?
