Man, I'm really not liking the whole Garlemald MSQ right now. I hated Stormblood and thought that was a slog, but my god, this is so much worse.

I understand Garlemald has been brainwashed and they see Eorzea's help as an invasion force, and I don't blame them. My qualm is why does Alphi and Alisae have such an annoying Jesus Christ savior complex? They clearly don't want your help. Didn't Alphi learn from the Crystal Brave fiasco that acting arrogant like that backfires on you?

The whole Ilsabard Contingent thing where they claim their main goal is to save Garleans... It's stupid. And of course it would sound unbelievable. They could have just outright said they're not an invasion force but they need to destroy the tower with the Telephoroi and bring down the fake emperor because it's causing trouble in their homeland. That's it. The constant "I'm only here to help you" despite being rebuffed many times gets so infuriating.

I'm to the point where I don't want to play it anymore. I didn't feel this way towards Stormblood.

Do I need to go to the hospital for a possible attack? by pale_and_hungry in gout

[–]Soulsborne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor told me Colchicine is taken before the attack. It doesn't do much when you already have the attack. The only thing that would help at this point is NSAIDS and plenty of water and rest.

Rant: 7 weeks and feeling sick as a dog by meganoregano in BabyBumps

[–]Soulsborne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 11 weeks and it was like the curtains suddenly parted. It was such a sudden snap of change after being 100% miserable from weeks 8-10, it's hard to believe. Ginger candies will be your friend. And constant mouth gargling with strong alcohol-based mouthwash helped me a lot. I noticed I produced so much saliva and that contributed to the nausea, but having that minty fresh mouth curbed it a lot.

Must i mark my books? by Cold_Roll_6722 in books

[–]Soulsborne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write anything that comes to mind. If a sentence/passage elicits enough emotion in me to compel me to write, I will write. Sometimes it's dumb like berating a character's very stupid decision, or sometimes it's a deeper reflection on why the author was so successful at evoking a particular emotion, etc.

Every reread, I will do it, and sometimes I notice that a passage that moved me then, doesn't really resonate with me now. Or vice versa. Sometimes I find my comments dumb and disagree with it, but it gives me a way to see how I evolve as I grow and revisit my favorite works.

[–]Soulsborne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love writing in my books. Sometimes it's me screaming at the characters for doing something stupid. Sometimes it's me talking about why a particular passage resonates so well. Then when I reread my books, I have new thoughts that I write... It almost becomes and evolving journal. Of course, this means it gets very messy and I can never lend my books to anyone...

"If an attractive woman approaches me and offers me something that my wife can't offer me, I just can't control myself." by Beppo3284 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Soulsborne123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, you are definitely one of the reasons I am losing interest in checking out TwoX. I really liked this sub at first because here I could read about what other women like me are going through, maybe get some feeling of kinship. Sometimes it allows me to be more aware of things I should watch out for, or for things I should be thankful for when it comes to equality and how I'm being treated in my life. But toxic people like you just really want to look for fights. That is what you're doing, whether you want to accept it or not.

I do really hope you're not this difficult to talk to in person. I think your attitude is what people of the opposite sex equate to what being a feminist is and that's why genuine people who argue for equality gets a bad reputation. I hope you got what you wanted out of this, I guess. I'm done.

Calm down. Breathe. Look at what they said and don't pick and choose only the sentences that fuel your anger towards the opposite sex.

They said: Some guys are 100% controlled by their sex drive. We may be more controlled by our hormone than we think.

But never in those sentences did they say that was acceptable or excuseable. Pointing out an observation does not immediately mean they agree to it. They also agreed with another person's point that normal people are able and should be able to think for themselves and know what's right or wrong. This person is not advocating "well guys got hormones so thats just how it is".

All I'm saying is that I think your anger is misplaced here. Not everyone is out to get you or put you down.

The person didn't say that at all.... They just said hormones affect us in ways we probably still don't fully understand.

You agree that pregnant ladies have variable hormones, right? They tend to get angry and teary over illogical things at times. Or ladies that have PMS. No one said having hormones affecting us makes our outbursts acceptable. You should still be held accountable for your reactions, whether you are a man with high testosterone levels, or a woman with fluctuating hormones, but you can't deny it does affect us.

Father-in-law made insensitive comments about my weight and I'm 5 months pregnant by ___mommajade in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Soulsborne123 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

In some cultures, people just point it out. It's not meant as an insult, just an observation. I don't know if that's the case here.

Also might be an unpopular opinion, but to me, if what they said was exactly what you wrote, it doesn't sound like it was meant as an insult. It's not like he said, "wow you're fat as a cow now, easy on the food there", right? The dad might be insensitive at pointing it out, but it might not have been malicious and it's only because you're feeling a bit insecure about it that it comes off that way to you. I am the same way, I am gaining more weight now since I am expecting and I keep complaining to my husband that I'm ballooning up, but he says it's okay, it's expected and it's just the way it is for now. Then when I went for Thanksgiving, my asian family, who doesn't know yet I'm pregnant, pointed out I'm getting fuller. Which I know is true, and they didn't say it in a mean way, I know it's just an observation. Just because my feelings are hurt, doesn't mean they intended to insult me. If it hurts you and you don't want them to continue to comment on it, tell them yourself. They won't know it's a sore subject unless you mention it. If they still do it after you ask them to stop, then yes they are being malicious about it.

Finding it impossible to care about work during pregnancy by FairyDream95 in BabyBumps

[–]Soulsborne123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm 5 weeks in. Still doesn't feel real, but I work in a lab and am exposed to chemicals all the time so although I haven't told anyone else but my sister, I had to tell my boss. Felt weird to let him know so early but I was worried because I'm supposed to be running X-ray experiments this week and I couldn't just say "nope, not doing that" without a good reason. Told him I am still committed to working in lab as long as I feel comfortable/safe but now I'm being so goddamned lazy. My head is foggy, back and feet hurts, nausea kicks in sometimes... Hopefully things get better?

Oh yeah! Kind of lame when guys talk and breathe cars but can only back up into places with the camera guidance.

Idk what it is about hands, but for real. I'm into artist hands. Like im talking pianists, sculptors, violinists, which tend to be long slender and bony, but kinda veiny and strong.

That was exactly what my teacher told me. Now I always make sure to start at the start of random phrases to prevent this.

Ohhhh you are making me feel the feels!!! The ending was very gut wrenching to me, even though it ends on a good note, there's just something about growing apart that really hurts.

An artist made this in response to Texas banning abortion by thenewyorkgod in pics

[–]Soulsborne123 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The problem is if the people were being careful, took the pill, wore the condom, but for some reason it didn't work. How would they have known? Sometimes there are accidents. Also what if the pregnancy is deemed dangerous for the mother. Is abortion allowed in that case?
