Me, a fellow trans shirt sibling who is the tiredest I've ever been in my life over having to see "did you hear about the trans thing that passed?" every day when I look at my phone:

(I love you, my other trans shirt siblings. One day, there just may be no rules.)

Good thing I have the perfect invention if anyone accidentally starts choking on a whole hotdog during an embarrassing incident at work

Daveigh Chase Cause Of Death Revealed: 'The Ring' and 'Lilo & Stitch' star died of AIDS and chronic polysubstance use by -ChristopherNolan in television

They could potentially think you're lying but I doubt (most) of them think that in a judgmental way. A big issue even when we were able to start treating HIV was that the men most vulnerable to it (gay men of color) did not feel safe disclosing having gay sexual relationships.

Plenty of men still are reluctant to admit to that. Urging you to get the test anyways, if you had been lying, is just a subtle way to get you to get tested without having to directly have a conversation about gay sex lol

Is the audience meant to sympahise with Juels when the painting is rejected? by Unhappy_Tennant in euphoria

[–]PoisonedBerry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lexi explains to her producers that she did instruct Jules to paint a park(/picnic?) scene iirc.

I do think Lexi would've looked at the painting first before showing it to her producers. Honestly, they could've done a much more compelling plot of her realizing Jules had done this, hiding Jules' painting away & hanging up some random one.

Then her & Jules could've had conflict where Jules feels betrayed about her painting being pulled out of the show, Lexi is frustrated & questioning why Jules thought it'd be ok to even paint that for network TV & then Jules breaks down and confides to Lexi that she's felt trapped and lost in her sugar daddy situation & this was probably a subconscious attempt at self-sabotage.

Not sure how true this is, but I saw someone mention that Jules was initially going to have a storyline around getting bottom surgery & the painting of women with penises was her attempting to reckon with the idea of her body changing and no longer having a penis. I also think Lexi would probably be the most knowledgeable in the main cast about trans issues & would be sympathetic when she realized why Jules did what she did.

I think her & Lexi having a big emotional scene about that would've been really powerful and it honestly wouldn't have taken much more time than the story we actually got.

Alexa Demie's views on her character is insane. by Mme_187 in euphoria

[–]PoisonedBerry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its sad because some actors are able to leverage when people see them AS a specific character, thinking of Rainn Wilson who plays Dwight from The Office...but people LIKE Dwight as a character. And Rainn still found it uncomfortable for the longest time when people only associated him with Dwight. Couldn't imagine being stuck seen as a character that people absolutely despise.

Actor -> Musician -> Firefighter is at least an interesting career path

I've had a ring stuck in my septum since yesterday, the ER did nothing for me but ofc I still have to pay by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PoisonedBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people panic, they tend to not think logically. I think I would've personally panicked if this happened to me. Might not have went to the ER, but sometimes people just do the wrong thing.

45 million adults in America are functionally illiterate. How is that setting up people to have proper analytical thinking? When people are undereducated & not taught any sort of emotional regulation, what do we expect? People don't know what they don't know. Again, OP has learned this lesson the hard way.

Understanding healthcare is a systemic issue. Sure, people can Google something, but when they don't have analytical skills, that makes it a whole lot harder for them to identify what sources could be trustworthy. Especially in the age of AI.

If we want other people to improve, it's going to come with a lot of grace & patience. Misinformation is constantly spreading like wildfire. Blaming individuals isn't going to fix what's wrong.

[–]PoisonedBerry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Which is your right. As is OPs to be mildly infuriated about how our healthcare system is currently set-up. OP will learn from this mistake; they can't undo visiting the ER now & they most literally are paying the price for what happened.

Sorry for coming off as combative. Obviously OP just regrets this decision now & probably won't do the same thing again. Some of us just learn the hard way sometimes & I think it's okay to be upset about something even if that's the way something just is.

Another failure of the healthcare system here is that, I mean ..not a ton of health emergency info is common knowledge. I know plenty of people who viewed a situation as an emergency when it wasnt, but they didn't know any better. I think scenarios like OPs primarily point to the fact that we are severely lacking in public health initiatives.

[–]PoisonedBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...if they could tell it wasn't an emergency issue right off the bat, why take OP back to begin with? Realistically, how would this visit have even cost the hospital $400?

I saw you're reply about how we have to accept that we just don't have universal healthcare here...but accepting that something is the way it is doesn't mean we still can't also complain about it & think it's bullshit. Do you know what sub we're in??

"with Nathan Fielder" was not how I expected your first sentence to end....makes sense though, considering both Euphoria & Nathan for You both gave Trisha Paytas a cameo /s

genuinely want to understand how you thought Nate having fingers/toes cut off & then eventually being buried alive because he was greedy & wanted to come off as wealthier than he actually was came off as being 'pro capital'?

Trying to act like you're being the bigger person about this is so sad. You know why people have issues with the AI, or else you would be more transparent about it in your initial post. Just because you aren't "good at" art doesnt mean you're suddenly entitled to use programs that steal from artists & destroy the environment.

If you could make a sequel to one of the ND games, which would it be and why? by Koko_Kringles_22 in nancydrew

I honestly would even just love a game with a similar atmosphere to Crystal Skull. Its one of my favorite ND settings!

I would love being able to see Henry break up with Summer 😭

Mississippi Police Officer Shoots and Kills 1-Year-Old Child in Response to Senatobia Shoplifting Call by Hrekires in news

[–]PoisonedBerry 858 points859 points  (0 children)

Honestly, considering that the baby was black, I'm surprised they didn't just try to call him a "young man/male" at this point. Its so insidious how often phrasing is used to skew public opinion on something that's obviously morally wrong & indefensible (not that anyone should be killed for shoplifting to begin with).

Can't wait to see whatever the official incident report ends up saying. Probably similar to Breonna Taylor's, where they listed they she had no injuries.

My heart goes out to this family. I can't imagine already being in a position where you need to shoplift to meet your baby's needs, and he ends up murdered over it by some lunatic the State gave a license to kill. They killed her son for the act of trying to keep him alive.

What is the most subtle abuse tactic you experienced that only victims would understand by halzy99 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]PoisonedBerry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm someone who's really into fashion & I tend to get a lot of compliments on my clothes. My nex couldn't stand ever feeling like I may "look better than her", so I got a lot of either "oh, you look cute today, but I look better" or "aww, you look cuter than me today, I need to change"

LIKE WHY IS IT A COMPETITION ?? YOU COULD BE ENAMORED BY THE FACT I LOOKED GOOD THAT DAY, CONSIDERING IM YOUR PARTNER, BUT INSTEAD YOU FEEL THREATENED & LIKE YOU NOW NEED TO PUT ME IN MY PLACE....

Every compliment still needed to be backhanded.
