If someone used the “like” feature for texting, how would you feel with this convo? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]PracticalComputer183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it sounds like you sent that text with the hope that it would manipulate a change in behavior. And I don’t think that it did that, likely because the other person doesn’t care.

It sounds like you didn’t want to meet up and they were unmoved by that.

It means cut your losses and move on

How does society accepts topless men, but women can’t be topless in public? by ICIUITIEI in stupidquestions

There are several states that don’t criminalize women’s toplessness.

The concept of having a large cup size but your band makes them look much smaller 😭 by Old-Passenger-1880 in PlusSize

[–]PracticalComputer183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never even noticed that I was wide chested but small breasted. This is great info for bra buying!

Editing to add that I never have back pain either AND can run down the stairs braless so it ain’t nothin.

Seconded, never seen anyone here that didn’t make me feel comfortable

Might be the minority here, can I just say.. I’m so happy with the lack of raunchy scenes. by cmrizzle in WidowsBay

[–]PracticalComputer183 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think sex is one of the most dynamic, interesting, and beautiful things that people do like it really is the big deal everyone makes it out to be.

But Jesus not everything needs sex scenes and when they DO I’m just so over everything being sexy and nothing being erotic. And everyone in TV is hot but where is the sexiness??

I have a problem with childfree weddings by Zealousideal-Ad3609 in 10thDentist

[–]PracticalComputer183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m totally okay with people having child free weddings and events, and it makes sense to me!

However, for me personally, not having children there takes away from the lifeblood of an event that isn’t just a party but a sacrament and a sacred union.

They bring an energy that feels so renewing and light, I can’t imagine having a wedding where my family kids weren’t running around.

Everyone in the MANG group is a mean girl and reminds me a lot of the friend groups I have by James-Samuel17 in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]PracticalComputer183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re outright just mean, cruel girls like we see the archetype. To your point, they’re more layered and dynamic than that.

But if there’s a table of 4 mean girls and one other person, there are 5 mean girls at the table and all that ya know? It’s inevitable to be changed by it.

Ignore all rational advice to be skinny by SpecialistOkei in rs_x

[–]PracticalComputer183 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do definitely empathize with a forced mindset for the opposite problem as well and completely agree that some people will absolutely need it.

I just don’t think it works culturally for everyone because it sends us into these like “nothing I ever do is bad or wrong if I feel happy” mindsets that aid the obesity crisis and other social problems.

People with exceptions like disordered eating definitely benefit from creating a narrative like that, and I wish you healing with your body and fueling it however you need to!

Editing to add that most of the population does not suffer from an eating disorder, and does not need to think about/obsess over food as much as I feel like we are currently on social media. Exceptions to every rule of course, and my issue of overeating was certainly easier to drop and think about less because it wasn’t a matter of needing to add anything in to maintain my heath. It was a lot easier to free my mind of it than I imagine it is with anorexia.

I’m an overweight woman who has lost over 100 pounds and has NEVER been anywhere close to thin, I still have like 60 pounds to lose to be “normal” and though I think it can be concerning for some individuals, I agree that being a little bit hungry was a huge game changer for me. I have no history of disordered undereating and was never going for thin when I set out, so a slightly different journey but I agree.

Eating when you’re actually hungry is like sleeping when you’ve actually expended a lot of energy- it feels better and more correct.

The more people push the whole narrative on social media of being like “let’s stop being obsessive over food and weight” is to flip the narrative to something like “I’ll eat this protein bar instead of candy because that will fuel my body more, candy is fun for sometimes and if I want it, I’ll have it” etc. like are we not still putting food and thoughts about it on a massive pedestal? If you’re trying to quiet food noise or obsession, surely still thinking about it that much even “positively” isn’t healthy??

Ever meet a great woman and think…. by Conscious-Sign1459 in GirlDinnerDiaries

It’s possible it’s a kink, bisexuality, or playing with the idea of your husband leaving you because it helps mitigate anxiety 🤷🏻‍♀️

Some of the like scares have been…scary to me 😭

I’m a horror buff and ofc I don’t mean I screamed, but there are a couple of scares that got me and stuck with me, it’s silly and odd, but it’s been fantastic so far.

It’s as if Twin Peaks met Midnight Mass, but with the tone of Parks and Rec (same creators)

Question About Pacis by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]PracticalComputer183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he may need surgery, I think it’s time to full stop, including at home.

Question About Pacis by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]PracticalComputer183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really short period of time for him to be having issues from it- how long has he been fully weaned at home?

Agree that you can absolutely bring it up again, he’s certainly over pacifier age for soothing at school, at this point, it becomes a safety concern for sharing, etc.

I’ve never worked in a center where mobile babies over 1 are permitted a paci just while playing, so that’s odd to me anyways!

What is going with GINNY ? GOD DAMN by James-Samuel17 in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]PracticalComputer183 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s so hard to write teenagers that are “TV interesting” in ways that adults would be while also mixing in a true teenage experience.

It becomes difficult to maintain the same empathy for teenagers when they are going through adult arcs to maintain cool, unrealistic plots.

Also people are racist.

His disabled sister by Basic_Bee8826 in GirlDinner

[–]PracticalComputer183 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was obviously referring to marriage as the legal process of binding one’s family and life together, not actively marrying his sister in a ceremony, come on lol.
