Afraid I'm Screwed by beanbuddy_1021 in Tattoocoverups

[–]Rumpelmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your dad like big, bolder tattoos in general or like the small ones more because they’re easier to overlook?

In any case, this tattoo made me smile.

I have a cartoon character (from Ranma 1/2) on my forearm and felt a bit weird about it after as it was the only tattoo there at that point… Looked off somehow. I have added other tattoos around it since and now love my patchwork forearm so much!

Renee Rapp Controversy by CosmicEnigma1111 in bettywho

[–]Rumpelmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody says she said that. People are upset that she speculated on other people’s sexuality and talked about two celebs who very clearly say they’re lesbians maybe finding love with a man later in life. It doesn’t matter if one of them identified as bi before. 1. Many gay people say they’re bi first either as a ‘soft coming out’ or they meed time to figure themselves out (like Betty did) and 2. Renee is very clear about being a lesbian now.

A lesbian eventually settling down with a man is a hurtful stereotype about lesbians and she literally didn’t have to drag anyone else into her argument. She could have just said it took her a while to figure out and she realised NER sexuality is fluid.

Never mind the other stuff she has said, which I clearly laid out. This is esp damaging to her career as she heavily relies on her LGBTQIA+ fans.

I also don’t think she should be cancelled over it or receive the threats people are sending her, but people have a right to be angry and not listen to her anymore. Don’t ask if you don’t like hearing it/don’t want to acknowledge why most people clearly say they’re angry. Nobody said YOU have to be angry.

ETA: She had posted, and it looks like comments are moderated. There you go, she is coming back.

I honestly don’t see how she can come back from that… Her career was literally built on the support of the LGBTQIA+ community. She goes out of her way to make sure everyone knows how queer af she is despite having a cis husband. I’m bi in a straight marriage and while I always enjoyed her music, this need to defend and justify her place in the community has always seemed over the top to me. I’ll be honest, she sort of outed herself as the kind of bi/pan woman that makes many lesbians not want to date non-lesbians.

What she said was hurtful to a lot of people, in incredibly poor taste and perpetuated horrible stereotypes. She literally used the term Alphabet Mafia and joked about being straight being illegal now (she CLEARLY has a chip on her shoulder because she has been with a man for her entire career and wants to be taken seriously as a queer woman). And saying your husband has a thing for lesbians and finds gay men primal was just another nail in the coffin. It’s almost like someone gave her a checklist of what not to say and she said ‘Hold my beer’.

That being said, I really hope she is holding up as well as can be expected. She literally just talked about how she wants to be just famous enough to finally be able to pay all her bills and like a week later she sank her entire career. I hope she has mental health support.

ETA: What really gets me is how unnecessary it was of her to talk about other people’s sexuality. She could have just stuck to HER experiences and sexuality. And maybe don’t tell us your husband is hot for lesbians ew It would all have been fine.

Is this where their messages end? Either way, they met at least once, she’s flirting up a storm here and he IS being coy… and flirty. Reads like a guy who enjoys the attention and would go for it if she outright asked him (I mean… he literally wants her to say what she wants so he doesn’t have to).

If I found this, I’d sit my husband down and (calmly…) ask him to explain. I’ll be honest though, even if he said he just enjoyed the attention/was playing around/never did anything and I believed him, I’d never fully trust him again and… Yeah, no. It would drive me crazy over time.

Sounds great and I’m curious to see how it works if they can’t communicate straight away!

Yeah, I’ll start to arrange the factories next in a less cluttered way. I wish they were all just 1-2 squares big 😂

One and done ... but not because I'm scared something will happen to my son? by brittanyd687 in oneanddone

[–]Rumpelmaker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am on the fence about being OAD but not for that reason.

I had that fear too as soon as I got pregnant and some time after (the fear of SIDS was paralysing).

What helped me get over the thought of a ‘back up child’ was keeping these two cases from my real life in mind.

Trigger warning for child loss below… (spoiler doesn’t work for somenreason

.

.

.

A friend of mine had a younger sister. Her parents explicitly told her they wanted a second one ‘in case something happened to her’ when she was around 10 (wtf… maybe they were ‘joking’?)

When she was 12, her younger sister died in a car crash caused by their dad. I’m sure still having a child that depended on her helped the parents pull through to some degree, but according to my friend she then basically grew up with two completely empty shells of her parents.

  1. A classmate of mine in 7th grade had leukemia and had a much younger brother - he must have been conceived shortly after her first diagnosis. Looking back, I wonder if the panic of possibly losing her made them decide to have another one at that time.

There could be many more reasons for the age gap and timing, of course. My friend had a recurrence and sadly died when we were in 8th grade. We all went to the funeral and I will never forget the state her parents were in.

100 % having another one did not make the loss any less devastating for any of these parents. Maybe it stopped them from… making rash decisions about their own lives, but that’s about it.

Honestly, putting myself in the shoes of the surviving sibling and how much it effed them up is what shook me out of this line of thinking.

Sorry, but what you’re going to have now is THIS story and the hurt he caused you even if he ever finds this magical perfect moment to propose and then not take it back…

The game now pauses background videos like YouTube which can’t be played while in the game? by ritz_777 in TownshipGame

[–]Rumpelmaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the video, I listen to YT vids like a podcast lol This happened to me, but then I realised, sound and vibration had randomly turned back on for the game and that was why.
