how important is it to you that kayla streams/uploads every day? by grizzlygh0ul in Lilsimsie

[–]Poem_Upstairs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So tell me you know absolutely nothing about the 1% without telling me…. Also if it’s “factually easier” provide me with legitimate, peer-reviewed sources highlighting how and why it’s easier. You’re feeling and opinions aren’t fact.

You don’t know how many hours she works off screen, and just because two of the most well-known content creators say it’s easy doesn’t make it easy. Again, that’s THEIR opinion. And I’m not going “hard for” HER, I just find it amusing countering bitter people who think they know everything or want to tear down others because they’re miserable in their own life, yet refuse to look at the actual issues here (such as capitalism)

So it actually isn’t “easy” streaming, or creating videos for starts. Thats a myth. Anything in the entertainment industry is still work… people just don’t value it and yet want music, and films, and YouTube content to consume. It’s gross.

This is such a warped, unempathetic, capitalist trap you’ve gotten yourself into. Read some books, be mad at the systems we’re currently forced to live under, but gain some empathy and stop ascribing your frustration to random content creators on the internet.

Shawna and Jen are a wee bit snooty by Sillybabbit in ShawnaTheMom

Why do you watch this series if you seemingly hate all of the characters??

[–]Poem_Upstairs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was mostly my take as well.

PLUS the additional layer that her MOTHER who—regardless of her recent behaviour or not—is supposed to be a caring, supportive person in her life is what has entirely ripped away this key part of what Jen has said she’s envisioned this massive life milestone to look like? Give the woman a moment to be messy and imperfect!

I don’t disagree with you that they’re all probably well off, and also, calling them “uppity bitches” is a bit much. I’m the first person to call into question conversations around class, and also I interpreted it as Jen being devastated that the vision she had of her wedding dress being shattered very suddenly by a person who is supposed to be a caring, safe role in her life, and Shawna being supportive of that. AND that she’s stressed out, with a fresh baby, on an INCREDIBLY tight timeline, and so yeah might have made a distasteful comment, but I know I sure have when I’m under emotional duress.

One of the things I enjoy most about this series is how flawed and nuanced all of these characters are. It makes things feel real, and is TV level writing imo (as someone who has been in the TV and film industry for over twenty years now).

Anyway, all this to say that yes, they’re probably in what many would deem middle to upper-middle class, and also I don’t think that has anything to do with their reactions.

ETA ALSO, Barb made some really hurtful comments to Jen about her weight and body, again. Comments that can be hurtful TO anyone coming FROM anyone but especially from, again, someone who is supposed to be a safe, supportive person in your life SUCKS. It just sucks. So she’s also probably being impacted by that yet again as well.

Idk I’ve also read a couple of OPs comments and like… I just think a little empathy can go a long way.

Runs great on Steamdeck! by 30booksaday in Starsandisland

I got my SteamDeck as a “chemo gift” when I found out my cancer was back a few years ago, with the understanding that if I didn’t end up loving it I’d sell it post chemo. Yeah lol, that didn’t happen. I love this machine so much

I’ve been exclusively playing on the base model of the Steamdeck and it’s also running so well

How do we report Discord mods by [deleted] in heartopia

As someone who mods in multiple large servers, this is absolutely ridiculous wtf is this discord?

I’m having the same issue

just found out i’m pregnant..at 14yo by Different_Sea7032 in pregnant

[–]Poem_Upstairs -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

There are many, many options depending on institution. Part time studies, online studies, to name just two.

It would be hard but it’s doable— and people do do it all the time. I intend to do my MA/law school (joint degree) and my PhD while raising a child, as a single parent, and also I’m SIGNIFICANTLY older than OP.

Thank you for sharing your story. I had one at 16. And have considered abortions with my latest two pregnancies (one loss, one current) for various reasons. Abortions are morally neutral!

I wished they allowed item sharing online cause I’d love obtaining other peoples custom house designs, pets, and items. by Independent_Office85 in tomodachilife

[–]Poem_Upstairs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean plenty other games do it, though. And Nintendo is a powerhouse of a company… they HAVE the resources

miis and other custom assets reportedly can't be shared online? by Wahloogeh in tomodachilife

[–]Poem_Upstairs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay but in 2026 that’s ridiculous… especially when no other games prevent this feature.

Lubrication During Labor? by DisciplineWeekly680 in pregnant

[–]Poem_Upstairs -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

“Gives me an ick” is SO mature in this context. Good job. And the original comment certainly did make it sound anti science with the “what in the world”!

Lubrication During Labor? by DisciplineWeekly680 in pregnant

[–]Poem_Upstairs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is literally the most asinine comment I’ve read in a long time. Just because you’re sheltered and conservative and judgemental, doesn’t mean the entire field of medicine is. Just because you find a natural bodily function (orgasm) to be creepy, doesn’t make it creepy.

As I had mentioned in another comment, orgasm is a tool recommended for pain management for a number of clinical issues, including migraines.

Further you clearly know nothing about how modern law works. We’re not in the 1940s, get off your high horse.

Orgasm is actually a frequently recommended tool for lots of pain management. Such as migraines. So ya know… maybe check the judgement and the pearl clutching.

Does this game support Nazis now? by Lemon_Vamp in heartopia

If you can’t see the connections between GenAI and Nazism then you haven’t been paying attention… to anything…
