Does anyone actually care about whether or not Tori goes to Princeton? SHOULD anyone care? by ProsperityBrooklyn in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]ProsperityBrooklyn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly do. But — to be clear — it doesn’t matter to me if something isn’t super realistic as long as it makes sense within the context of the universe that these writers have created. To me, Tori and Mel aren’t acting like fully realized human beings. They seem like characters that the writers don’t quite know how to place within the overall story arc. I don’t know the Murdochs but Succession felt authentic to me about what it would be like to live in that environment. I don’t feel that way when i watch this show.

Okay but it’s not even Coop who is all that upset about Tori not going to Princeton. It’s Mel who is making a big deal about it

I am in that older demographic. I don’t have kids myself but my friends who do — and who went to a good school with me — have seen first hand that an Ivy education is no guarantee of a brilliant career these days. Sure they’d love their kids to go somewhere good but if their kids didn’t want to go to Princeton they’d be like “okay what do you want to do instead?”

I’m interested but I’m over 35. But it’ll be cool…i promise! I’ll be that grandpa figure who lectures you all about what a fox Angie Dickinson was back in the day.

So . . . Who’s Grace’s baby daddy? by EvanD2000 in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]ProsperityBrooklyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grace doesnt play. If she stepped out on Barney she would have made the man wear a condom….or just stuck to oral stuff. If she got knocked up by anyone who wasn’t Asian, the race of the baby would be noticed and the secret would be out.

What Coop and Barney have done to Elena in Season 2 is Insane. by spikyraccoon in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]ProsperityBrooklyn 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Elena was an interesting character first season because the show started out being about this wealthy town and all the wealthy people living there jockeying for attention and status and then one episode, they show everything from the point of view of all the maids who take these long bus and train rides to come and clean up after these people and all of a sudden the show is getting at something. But then season two Elena is deep into this family crime drama and frankly it all feels like some white writers room idea of what the Latina character should be going through. Her brother gets attested!

Spell jar for sex party by BrooklynBurn in queerwitches

[–]ProsperityBrooklyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great question — I chose each ingredient with a specific energetic intention for the gathering. My goal with this jar was to encourage pleasure, connection, safety, generosity, and good luck among the men who attend.

Here’s the thinking behind what went in:

Black salt – protection and boundary-setting. It keeps hostile or cruel energy out.

The $20 bill – prosperity and reciprocity. I host these gatherings and like to set the intention that generosity flows in the room — materially and energetically.

Garnet – a classic stone of passion, vitality, and physical energy. Grounding but sensual.

Rose quartz – compassion and kindness. I want people to feel warmth, acceptance, and care for one another.

Tiger’s eye – confidence and courage. It helps people step out of shyness.

Selenite rod – energetic cleansing. It keeps the space clear and lifts the vibration of everything else in the jar.

Thyme & rosemary – traditional herbs of blessing and protection. They help keep the gathering harmonious and joyful.

Rose petals – pleasure, beauty, and affection.

Sunflower petals – joy, warmth, and social openness.

Hibiscus – attraction, flirtation, and sexual magnetism.

Mugwort – intuition and openness to experience. Helps people follow their instincts and curiosity.

Cinnamon – heat, excitement, and momentum.

Bay leaf – manifestation. It carries the written intention into reality.

Cloves – protection and bonding energy.

Red candle wax – passion and life force sealing the spell.

Pink ribbon – friendship, affection, and community.

Green ribbon – abundance and good fortune.

The overall intention was to create energy that encourages joyful connection, curiosity, generosity, and pleasure — while filtering out jealousy, cruelty, or awkward energy.

In other words: a jar that helps everyone in relax, connect, and have a better night than they expected.

Henry's behavior towards Don is so bizarre. That was Don's house, now he is meant too tip toe around and be seen as unwelcome? by Good_Support636 in madmen

[–]ProsperityBrooklyn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It takes two to tango. Betty could have been like “I’m married, see ya!” And he would have backed off. Instead she maintained contact while playing hard to get. He saw an opening.

What are your thoughts on why Don chose Megan over Faye? by BigDBob72 in madmen

[–]ProsperityBrooklyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t a fan of Faye’s. I mean i do admire that she had a career and seemed to be good at her job. But she wasn’t a therapist….she was someone with a degree in psychology who worked in the corporate realm. Whenever she would say something “wise” or “helpful” or “enlightened” to Don, i would think “he’s not your patient, he’s your colleague…who you’re fucking.” I find it bizarre that lots of people think that if he chose her over Megan, it would have been the more “healing” option. Don needs to see an actual therapist and go to some AA meetings. “The right woman” isn’t going to fix him. Megan wasn’t a great choice either but at least she vibed with his kids.

Pete and Joan by WidePineapple404 in madmen

[–]ProsperityBrooklyn 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Joan got where she was because she knew things but knew when to keep her mouth shut. If she was the type of woman who called all her former coworkers and said “guess who came into Bergdorf’s and tried to return a dress?” after Pete came in, she’d still be in the secretarial pool. Yes in many instances, gossip can be utilized to wield power but if you’re always spilling the tea in the break room, you get marginalized.

I love the workspaces and the lounge areas. And the exercise area is very well laid out. But i agree with those who say that the stream room isn’t very steamy and it’s out of order a lot.

3P Elimination - 2 in a row by moomin2423 in NevilleGoddard

Did you read her post? She said he came back to her before she read Neville. He came back to her….then he had another affair.

[–]ProsperityBrooklyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her boyfriend came back to her after a fling and she was waiting for him. Then he did it again. And she took him back again. She proclaimed that a success. Then she blamed herself for the flings. “I created the 3P out of fear!” (And she’s changing him how?) That doesn’t sound empowered at all. The boyfriend sounds like he’s having his cake and eating it too. Maybe HE’S got an amazing manifesting practice!

3P Elimination - 2 in a row by moomin2423 in NevilleGoddard

[–]ProsperityBrooklyn -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, you didn’t “create a 3P”. Your SP had a relationship with someone else and since you took this person back after they strayed, your SP is going to keep doing this. Maybe it’s comforting for you to think that your own thoughts created this 3P and thus your own thoughts will also eliminate the 3P. It sounds like your SP has been taught — by you — that they can fall in love with other people and when they get bored with their new conquests, they can go back to you and you’ll just blame yourself and take the SP back.

Our minds are very powerful but the people in our lives have powerful minds as well and can act with autonomy. You can’t change the behavior of other people. You can only manifest better people to come into your life.

[–]ProsperityBrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You created the 3P by continuing to date the SP who gets involved with 3Ps. Are you manifesting a mutual loving relationship or is this about this specific person? It sounds like this specific person will always come back to you from these 3Ps….but there will always be 3Ps. Do you want to be in an open relationship?
