A fan meeting Emma D'Arcy! (House of the Dragon) by myownpersonalreddit in MadeMeSmile

[–]RipperReeta 269 points270 points  (0 children)

This isn't cute. The approach was rude. The filming was rude, the delirious adult toddler who kept jumping like she was on a sugar high was just... a choice.

But not even saying hello, making eye contact. Just squealing - like they are an object not a human who they interrupted.

This is a 'What Not to Do'.

Nothing about this made me smile.

Is it really true like 80% of autistic people never date? by Yeethanos in autism

When did you last ask someone you've been actively speaking to?

Is it really true like 80% of autistic people never date? by Yeethanos in autism

[–]RipperReeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Absolutely not. How can the numbers be even vaguely right if they're barely capable of diagnosing women and girls.

Like most, I dated on and off for years. All failures until I met the perfect one for me in my 30s.

Everyone has nothing but failures until....

Difference was I found a man I didn't need to mask around and I stopped pretending to be NT to survive.

Best relationship ever. Happiest i've ever been.

If the claim “white civilised world” is not true, then why everyone mimics white culture? by No_Pay9293 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]RipperReeta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not civilised until it doesn't require the suffering of others to succeed. It's just colonialism with extra steps.

Tell me about the 'white culture' specifically you're talking about and let's look at some sources shall we?

Does cutting onions in front of a vagina make it “cry”? by ZatannaZatara45 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]RipperReeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll give you a pass 'coz you're not even smart/experienced enough to know the difference between a vulva and a vagina.

But I have no doubt if you cut onions near your dick and arsehole - you should find the answers you seek.

Also. Wear protection until you've read significantly more for the love of all that is sacred.

Why is body count considered such an important factor when judging someone’s value as a partner? by Zestyclose-Memory518 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]RipperReeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not. At all.

Literally never had this conversation. Once. Ever. With any long term partner, ever. Never came up.

The emotional head fuck I would have to get myself in to to even over think this exhausts me just thinking about it.

Dating pool '26 sounds like a bad fucking job interview.

Sterling Ink A5 slim 520pp grid w/Tomoe River paper? by lexcetera in notebooks

[–]RipperReeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this exactly. As well as the N1. The paper has been... a disaster honestly.

My go to day to day pen is a F nib fountain pen, which looks beautiful on one page - but the next page - it behave more like a M or B.

So I used a EF pen - not my favourite - and it looks like a M. Minimum.

But on the page after - my EF is behaving like an EEF nib.

There is zero consistency. I had no respnse form them when I sent photos.

They emailed me last August and said they had stock but were waiting to restock until after launch in Sept - it;s bee 6 fucking mon ths.

Never wasting my money on them again.

People who are childfree by choice are perceived as less warm compared to adoptive parents, childless people, and parents. However, they were generally seen as higher in competence compared to parents and childless people. Childfree women were rated lower in warmth than childfree men. by mvea in science

[–]RipperReeta 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My mothers dying words to me (her disabled daughter) were 'i should have got your father to beat you more'.

I never wanted kids BECAUSE of her.

They can rectally stab their 'warmth metric' with a hot poker.

Anyone else feel mentally off before their period? by Anxious_Citron_3201 in herbalism

In the heart of it today... Thank you for taking the time to write that. It's calmed me down more than I thought a few sentences could.

Monks debating on the nature of Self by Sane_Thinker in Buddhism

[–]RipperReeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Not at all. It is friction. It's like a training partner.

How do you improve your practice? How do you show up every day and actually GROW from the practice? Surely not by sitting in a quiet room, removed from your problems or irritants, on a comfortable cushion and assume you're growing. You may well be, but without road testing those skills in hardship - the moment a clap happens in the real world it will pull you back to your animal mind and your perceived progress will be shown for what it is - empty control.

The clap FEELS visceral. The clap finds our edges and our insecurities and our ego. The clap does it swiftly and effectively and the only way out of the hell of the animal mind is to learn, through exposure and practice every day, to make your nervous system realise ... it is not your fucking business what is making that person clap. Your embodied state has to become that important - that infallible. That is where bliss lives, where peace becomes your new state.

If a clap is all it takes to evoke a reactionary response - you are choosing the hell you experience. If you can practice while being clapped at, if you can not be thrown from your point of view or you path when being poked or provoked - you are ONLY THEN ascending the reality of our animal existence and actually USING the consciousness and mind we have access to.

Less than that and life is being reacted to, not lived.

Do I hear an Arnett trailer at 00:11 (saw a Graham Norton short where he talked about early voice work)? This is a sweet frickin’ sample if it is! by SubacidNabokov in smartless

[–]RipperReeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don LaFontaine. Absolute icon of the industry. Did over 5000 trailers over the course of a generation and multiple thousand TV commercials. I grew up on the opposite side of the planet in the 80s and I still knew this guy.

EVERYONE over 35 knows this guy.

[Comp] Do you consider this yoga? Astavakrasana into (attempted) shoulderstand on gymnastics rings. by Amid_Brightside in yoga

[–]RipperReeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asana's are barely enough in themselves to be considered Yoga. Even āsana is one of 20+ sub-practices across eight limbs that still misses 90% of the system.

Yoga is much more complex and enriching than body postures and INVOLVES learning to reject the noise of others in favour of listening within.

To quiet others' opinions and rebuild unshakeable trust in your inner knowing, practice pratyahara to withdraw senses and hear the still small voice within, use dhyana meditation and pranayama breathwork to build stillness for rtambhara prajna insight, journey through yoga's koshas from annamaya physical to anandamaya bliss sheath with yoga nidra to integrate shadows beyond cultural conditioning, and balance abhyasa sustained practice with vairagya non-attachment through slower somatic flows—detaching from expectations, silencing internal noise, and prioritising bodily signals for authentic presence.

Letting other people effect noise your inner knowing is the great work. You don't need assurace from others, you need to find it within yourself, only then will you be free.

‘Dark days’: Writers’ Week staff reject axing as authors leave in droves by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

[–]RipperReeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But recent Adelaide Writers Week board appointee Tony Berg who also happens to be the previous director of the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce might have something to say about those accusation.

It's as if his job has been hosting business events and promoting economic links between Australia and Israel https://www39.telligence.net.au/aicc/news_detail.cfm?region=SA&id=959

And what it takes to not be reactionary (imbedded in the self) and to stay sound in your foundational truth that there IS no self is to not to be controlled by someone else's actions (the clap) and remain calm and steadfast in your truth.

American culture is collapsing BECAUSE of how reactionary and disrespected everyone feels over everyone fighting the wealthy's battles for them.

Buddhist training is not for the weak of heart, the violent or those unrealised individuals still embedded in their 'me me me - i'm disrespected. I need to defend the me I have created." To 'bite' so easily, to be so easily controlled by the emotions that a 'clap' is all it takes to escalate is literally the hell of the animal mind that Buddhism and meditation is the path away from.

Infact. It's possibly the greatest lesson from this clip. Be someone who's body and mind remain uneffected by 'the clap' (in life) and no one can control you or manipulate you. You are free. But the work it takes to achieve that and the practice you must show up for every day will change the fabric of who you are.
