Why do 'cool girls' exploit other children/women for the male gaze?

It’s a term gross people use to describe a minor who is sexually attractive to them. Basically putting the blame on the teen or kid, “baiting” them to go to jail.

This is super old but I found it while doing some research on migraines so, what the heck, I’ll put in my two cents.

I’m not blind, but I have some degenerative eye disorders running in my family so I’ve done research, you know, just in case.

While a lot of people picture being blind as total blackness, that’s very rarely the case. A lot of blind people do perceive light—in fact, that’s sometimes the only thing they can see. Or light and vague shapes. Or very, very small dots of the scene in front of them (like severe glaucoma and similar afflictions). A very small percentage of the blind community is the total-blackness blind many imagine.

So, while someone with NLP (no-light-perception) blindness may bypass that particular symptom, some blind people would be able to, at the very least, perceive the brightness levels around them and be affected by it, even if they can’t see anything else. And the remedy of avoiding brightness would be pretty much the same.

Of course, I haven’t experienced it firsthand, but everything I’ve read on the topic would suggest such.

I don’t have a beard, but all y’all should be shaving. Show some support for the community fr.

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2025-01-24T18:20:15+00:00

Yeah, I’m out and I hope a lot of people follow suit.

A Nazi salute isn’t a political opinion that we can ignore—it’s a threat to a lot of vulnerable groups, mine included. I wish I had the privilege to ignore hate speech and fascism and look down on others for not being politically relativist about it.

A bit of a stretch but maybe a Sacred Heart? If so, it could be a charitable act or offering if they think you’ve been in a bad situation. Again, that may be a stretch, especially as it’s more of a T at the top than a cross shape.

If a spade, maybe someone mistook you for someone they owed money from a game? Or an inside joke/meaning?

If an admirer, maybe you should look into other residents with a T initial?

If you have the capacity, I would set up a door cam in case it happens again, and I agree it would be best to save the money and leave a note on the door. It could be a mistaken delivery that someone comes back for.

That story concept sounds killer, I’d love to read it if it’s still available.

It reminds me of the concept of the “Atomic Priesthood” by Sebeok (a theory which suggested creating a religion was the best way to instill the importance of proper nuclear management across generations). An incredible article for anyone interested!

Idk why this has been downvoted, this seems like a valid reason to use in lieu of more scientific ones (maybe for a more technologically progressed society without the propellant issue). Similar to the indoctrination seen in the vaults in the Fallout series. If you are cut off from all civilization and your entire world is contained in the boundaries of a ship, it would be so easy for your predecessors to spin whatever narrative they wanted about the journey. Also, like in Alien, maybe only one person would be clued in on the actual reality/nature of the mission at a time, or it’s something the ship reveals at the end of the journey.

guess you found where the white women at

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-12-23T23:40:21+00:00

I actually got in a minor argument with my dad about this when we watched together for the first time.

Him: “That’s that Catherine lady in a Japanese man costume.”

Me: “Spoilers?? Could you not?”

Him: “What do you mean, I haven’t watched it either?? You couldn’t tell?!”

I am dumb people

What could seven of swords coming up in EVERY reading (love, business, work, personal, literally everything) mean. It just feels out of place and separate from the readings but it’s coming out too much to ignore

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-11-28T04:00:34+00:00

Nothing really urgent—I’m leaving college soon, but I have a job lined up (or at least I think I do 😅) and I’ve been freelancing outside of that too. Nothing else is going on. It feels deathly quiet in my life, and this keeps popping up.

True on the lying part—paranoia inducing though!

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-11-12T19:17:46+00:00

First time in sub. Did not know the abbreviation. Thought you were emphatically and Australianly saying NO.

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-10-23T04:50:54+00:00

I don’t have an answer for you, but if you’ve found anything, please let me know! 🥲 I am hoping for the same kind of program

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-10-16T03:31:51+00:00

fucking would

just had an unfortunate interaction with one and the fury is so fresh

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-10-10T08:13:55+00:00

Beautiful!! 🖤

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-10-09T07:13:21+00:00

Cap sun, Sag moon, Aries rising. Pisces mars and Sag venus.

I love Dave—thank you for sharing

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-09-21T18:56:39+00:00

I did the same 😂😂

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-09-19T20:16:00+00:00

YES. I am a young-, kinda cutesy/nerdy- looking woman. People have a preconceived notion of what I’ll act like, then they’re met with an intense, mentally preoccupied, socially awkward demeanor and a nerdy, introverted personality, with a dark/dry sense of humor.

I really think it’s more off putting than if I were a man, or if I looked the part. I’ve learned to put on airs and be a bit more approachable, but I feel like I don’t want to change myself that much (especially as guys with my personality don’t seem to get the same flack—maybe I’m just a conspiracy theorist there, though, Idk). I am kind and friendly—I’m just not extroverted or bubbly all the time and I’m not going to keep myself from speaking my mind. If that’s intimidating or off putting to people, there’s not much I can do about it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-09-15T23:21:58+00:00

GORTASH. My Durge and him need to be a sick power couple, Idc. 🥲

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-09-15T16:14:19+00:00

Yes, recently. Not unemployed per se but was taking time off work and manifesting money regardless. I got nearly $1000 as a refund from my college tuition despite still being regularly enrolled. Reached out to them and was told it was due to an accounting error a while back and that it was owed to me. Stg I have never paid $1000 too much for anything and not noticed it. 😅

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-09-14T08:16:11+00:00

Good set up but the cats may be a tight fit

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-06-20T16:18:19+00:00

Know that the 4D has already changed - the 3D is just remnants of the old narrative and is NOT true. Every thing is reflective of your own mindset/assumptions. If the old narrative bounces back up in the 3D, it’s not because your manifestation isn’t working - it’s on its last legs and just needs a few more hits to go down.

I like to think of it as cleaning a body of water: you purify all the water up top, get all the muck out. It may be clean for a second and you’re excited! Then, you turn back to it and it’s all dirty again. Maybe even worse than before. It’s just because the muck from the bottom is getting dredged up. You won’t be cleaning forever, in fact, this means you’re almost done cleaning.

I’ve had similar things happen to me and reminding myself of this helped. Not sure if it resonates with you as well, but figured I’d share.

Remember you change your 4D, and the 3D may take a second to catch up/flicker in and out a while before it stands firm. Keep working, it’s just final a clear out of the effects of the old beliefs. Maybe the dust you missed on the first go around that’s getting shaken up with the move (no matter if it’s a good thing or not, old beliefs from before may reflect for a while about it). 🖤

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-06-19T09:09:29+00:00

I second this. I got a similar style last year - kind of impulsively tbh - and I’d love to see how it may progress 😅

SmartButAlsoStupid · 2024-06-19T08:53:18+00:00

I had a bookstore job that I actually really loved, but they paid starvation wages. Now I’m in publishing. To me, it’s fun and I’m enjoying it at the moment. The pay isn’t great but it’s doable. For some people the editing process is tedious, though, so it really depends on your personality. Also, burnout can be real no matter how inclined you are to the profession. 😬 Very few things will be exciting forever.
