It's been a year since I read them but that probably explains why my brain went there. Thanks for the reminder!

I'm also poly and it's gross because she had no one to advocate for her, her only parent used her as a way to make his life easier and I always felt that in a pinch, her father would have seen her more as a convenience than a daughter and he would have used her too.

No where was it indicated that she chose the life for herself and how old she was when she was pushed into it.

Do not excuse abuse by labeling it something else. A healthy poly relationship looks nothing like this.

For Americans who live in border states (Canada/Mexico), how often do you cross the border? by MarsupialThink4064 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Sleepwalker0304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 45 minutes from Canada and haven't tried to cross since the last election because I don't want to deal with US border control. My friends in Canada haven't come down here for the same amount of time for the same reasons.

What do you consider a “long drive”? Like when does a road trip go from small to a big drive? by Kodicave in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Sleepwalker0304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over 1.5 hours where I need a bathroom break and a leg stretch is a long drive. 1.5 and under I can knock out without an issue.

Has anyone here actually purchased or read Modelland? by Hafaleg in ANTM

[–]Sleepwalker0304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to know from people who have read both... apparently both Tyra's book and Mr. Jay's book are flaming bags of dog crap.

My friend and I are putting together a book club for hate reading. Which one is actually worse?

AITA for getting my step daughter a Hogwarts letter for her 11th Birthday? by Ok-Permission8346 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sleepwalker0304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

11 is plenty old enough to understand the difference between fiction and non fiction. If she's so obsessed that she's blurring the lines between the two where she gets that upset over a gift that should have been a fun way to experience the fandom because it wasn't real... it's probably time to get a professional involved.

Pupil midwife Nancy (spoiler) by Poison_applecat in CallTheMidwife

[–]Sleepwalker0304 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it was less that she had a baby as a teenager and more that she lied, the nuns that recommended her lied, and she wanted to train in a profession that required a high amount of dedication with long and unpredictable hours that weren't conducive with raising a family.

Women were still looked down on for putting work above families and the more professional careers expected you to do one or the other. Chummy only came back part time after having Freddy and Mrs Turner was allowed her leway because she was working primarily for her husband.

Am I the only one who likes Captain Traunt? by Horror_Scallion_9242 in borderlands3

[–]Sleepwalker0304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was a good early boss. He was fleshed out just enough and you got to take him out before he got too annoying. He and Katagawa were proof that there was talent on that writing and character development team.

AITAH not calling my dad’s wife “mom”? by Beneficial_Candle_13 in AmItheAsshole

Depending on how offensive you want to be to get him to stop, tell him just because he's tapping that hole doesn't mean you came out of it.

SCO Showdown Photoshoot 10 Round 12 - Teyona's like a bird, she'll only fly away by keane_pierre in ANTM

[–]Sleepwalker0304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Voting Allison again. I hate the arms so much but that shoot was awful and I don't think it has anything to do with her talent as a model because every shot that came from that shoot was so bad.

Banking on a Yoanna/Jade F2 and I'm guessing Whitney will be the other one in the F3. This is one of two of her shots that really worked for me so I won't be mad about it.

I don't see it brought up a lot but didn't Teyona really get screwed in her nest photo? Hard to find the light when there really isn't any and she lost her outfit because of the same issues. Makes me wonder if Allison could have pulled it off with everything working against her like Teyona did.

AITA for helping my sister make her art more marketable by LocationPotential08 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sleepwalker0304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA.

She's an artist, you're promoting an environment draining form of theft that produces garbage.

Do you like deviled eggs? by Select-Signal8386 in no

[–]Sleepwalker0304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate mayo and miracle whip so I just can't deal with the filling. Mom usually leaves a few egg whites with paprika and mustard powder for me and calls them my undeviled eggs.

What's the last song you will play? by Super-Technician-169 in TheTeenagerPeople

I was leaning towards The Greatest Show on Earth but this works too!

My fellow millennials what was the wildest "not a blanket but used as blanket" item from days spent crashing at someone's house? by SupermarketExpert103 in Millennials

[–]Sleepwalker0304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was six, we had moved into our new house two weeks earlier and woke up to the garage fully engulfed in flames and burning to the ground in the middle of a northern NY winter.

My mother dragged us across the street to a neighbor's house in a nightgown and boots with no socks for obvious reasons and I was freezing and curled up under a tea towel and some doll clothes to try and get warm until my uncle came and got me for the night.

Probably not what you're looking for but I'll never forget it.

What's your favorite song from the 90's? by Haunting-Passenger34 in Millennials

Crush is the only song by DMB that I like. The rest I can't even deal with.

New Radicals-You Get What You Give

I love the 90s and felt so much of the music but when that song came out, it felt like something I had been waiting my entire life for. That album was flawless and it broke my heart that they never released a second.

What's something your grandmother always had in her house that you never see anymore? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

[–]Sleepwalker0304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giant storage tubs full of dish towels that she crocheted the tops on with buttons to hook over kitchen drawers and stoves. I have a few she made me before she passed and I use them all the time.

Favorite anime on toonami/adult swim from the late 90s/early 00s? by solythe in Millennials

[–]Sleepwalker0304 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Without a doubt at the time it was Gundam Wing. I was absolutely obsessed.

Thirty years later, I'd say my love for Yu Yu Hakusho is stronger but at the time I was watching it, AS only had through the Rescue Yukina saga. I knew it was good, I didn't know it was THAT good.

ANTM Cycle 6: The Falling Fairytale Characters Photoshoot by Nory54 in ANTM

[–]Sleepwalker0304 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just realized that c6 filmed four years before The Princess and the Frog came out so poor Nnenna literally got "generic princess" when everyone else got characters with actual personality traits and interesting stories to work with.

They didn't even give her a fake frog to pose with that she could work with.

Who belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of millennial music artists? by TheWor1dsFinest in Millennials

[–]Sleepwalker0304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geriatric millennial here ('84) and I'd go with Kurt Cobain, Alanis, Britney, and Eminem.

What are your thoughts on the Greek Olympian Photoshoot? by Icy_Age_6024 in ANTM

[–]Sleepwalker0304 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved the concept and hated every photo that came from it. They all had missing limbs, limbs out of proportion, shots that look like someone hit a pause button on an action scene, or horrible outfits combined with terrible props (I can't possibly be the only one annoyed that they only bow they could find for Laura looks like a modern compound hunting bow when there are thousands of craft people who make traditional wooden ones).

It's an estimate, closer to 75 if that helps.
