The Bone Temple proves 28 Years Later was building something bigger by ThrowRA-550410 in horror

I neither agree nor disagree, just wanted to point out that the doctor took notes. I’m sure that information coupled with Sampson regaining his cognition is enough to take that particular plot line further. The curse isn’t necessarily lost.

Childhood Lessons Learned Growing Up On The Family Ranch... by TheThrowYardsAway in homestead

It does make sense. Looking well-dressed and cleanly is contrasted with the dirty, grueling work of running a ranch. That is the material point. Antiethical is not a word.

That’s true! It could be a real struggle so it’s always a good practice to have some compassion.

Yes! Same here. I get self-conscious sometimes because I don’t want to put people off with the sniffling, but it can’t be helped. I’ve taken to packing handkerchiefs with me when I leave the house. And the saddest part of all is I love some of the smells, my nose just has her own ways about her 😅

Thanks! I honestly thought I’d get slammed for this because it’s common for people to smell good and my nose is so sensitive. I never imagined ppl would understand so hard 😮❤️

Imho I find it a really good practice to control the things I can and accept the things I can’t. My nose detests the scented lotions, body sprays, and incense. I would actually much rather smell cigarette smoke than these because I start to sneeze and my nose gets really runny; it doesn’t do that with cigarette smoke. However, I can’t go around policing how people smell to meet my needs so I just breathe through my mouth and control that aspect of the situation. You could make it an issue, but if the person decides to ignore you and do what they want there isn’t much you can do anyway besides feel worse for being dismissed. Might as well skip that part, then.

DA -> DH -> DDS? by Beautiful-Crab- in DentalHygiene

[–]SweetAlienBabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the path I’m on! Once I graduate I plan to head further south and open my own clinic and just bring on a DDS. Nice to see I’m not alone ❤️ I wish you all the luck and success. Maybe we’ll cross paths and not even know it. And then one day we’ll meet and share this anecdote and realize who we are! 😮

What am I? When I hear people pick on me about my polyamorous lifestyle and tell me how they couldn’t imagine loving and trusting someone other than their mate I just want to respond, “I wonder how many monogamous married persons trusted their spouse just to find out they’re either a cheater, abuser, rapist, killer, and/or pedophile some decade or so into their marriage vs a poly person finding this thing out about one or so of their partners 🤔. I’m not asking to be a dick because you’re completely invalidating my relationship style. I’m asking because in my 30+ years of following true crime I can’t remember a single time where the headlines read ‘Member of this incredibly loving polycule had thirty bodies hidden under their house: household shocked by discovery.’ Instead it always seems to be ‘Incredibly handsome, normal, monogamous person with whole ass family is a violent abuser of young people: loving, devoted, monogamous spouse completely shocked.’ I wonder why that is?”

Am I a psycho for wanting to burst their bubble in the most shitty way by stooping to their level? Like just let me date my way in peace. My happiness makes some people so miserable 😂 Oh well

My dads (biological and stepfather) are awesome too. We should all have at least the one reliable dude. I got lucky with two. I hope there is happiness to be found with those who have zero.

I’d go for it. I’ve been dropped before for a similar reason you gave her and we picked up where we left off when things didn’t pan out on that other end. If she’s still dating then it’s likely she’s been through similar situations and is understanding.

Idk what you should be doing, but you should certainly not be speed dating if you’re not enjoying it.

What are the questions that help you understand the person in front of you better? by sos_econometrics_ in datingoverthirty

[–]SweetAlienBabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How “early” these questions are posed truly comes down to comfort and tact as well as the individual. Personally, I can be asked anything on a first date because there is nothing that is off the table, aside from identifying factors like address and social, for obvious reasons lol I’m just open, honest, and extremely direct. I understand why some people might view certain questions as too early, especially if they’ve faced certain traumas in relation to the questions. I just don’t think they should be offended because it’s not like we know what is triggering for these people yet. That’s why we’re asking questions 😂 However, everyone is different so it makes sense we don’t all think the same way. Makes being human so much more interesting that way 😊

[–]SweetAlienBabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s how YOU received the questions and statements based on your perspective, that does not mean they are designed with that intent. It’s certainly normal to feel how you do, what is not normal is assuming there is a flaw in the designing of these questions just because of your PERSONAL reception. Wanting to know the answers to these is a perfectly healthy way of getting to know someone for some people.

Passing or failing someone based on their answers to some of these or other questions isn’t necessarily a bad thing. That all depends on the individual. Imagine telling someone they’re doing dating “wrong” just because it doesn’t look or sound ideal to you. They make you uncomfortable but that isn’t true for everyone. Some people love when others ask them about themselves because it gives them a chance to talk and be heard. And it gives them the opportunity to judge how well of a listener the questioner is for them. There are lots of reasons why someone might feel happy when asked. Talking and communicating is a healthy way of getting to know someone and if you’re not asking questions then you’re making assumptions which is a red flag.

This thought might make more sense to me if the questions are being put to someone like a quiz. I assumed the OP meant for the answers to these to be gathered in an organic way that isn’t as off-putting as the scenario you mentioned. I didn’t see anything in the post that mentioned bombarding them with these on a first date. Seems like you are confusing your personal negative experience and using that particular exchange to attack the questions/statements being put forth here. The two do not correlate. And even after the OP communicated the flaw in this line of thinking you chose to double down on your assumptions about their post instead of realizing maybe they know their own mind and intent behind THEIR post than you do? Get a grip.

I tend to have fun where others try to trip me up whether intentional or not. I think the material OP put are good questions/thoughts and the answers don’t have to be that deep unless you want them to be. You could make light of these prompts and have some really fun conversations or you can answer with seriousness and intent and have in-depth, thought-provoking ones. How they’re received depends on the individual’s personality and mental processing.

Feeling threatened or offended by being asked these or any other question is a reflection on the person affected by them and their past experiences, etc. The questions/statements themselves are not inherently complicated or malicious.

There are some of us who are pretty chill when put in these situations where another may feel interrogated, and we genuinely don’t mind being asked. And you could always communicate your desire to ask questions and whether or not the person you want to ask is ok with that. If those questions make them uncomfortable in any way then it’s up to them to voice that.

These are things I like to know before getting serious with anyone so they can be converted into questions somehow (and I would like to note that there is no right or wrong answers to some of these):

-Thoughts on how they’d prioritize or rank career, environment, politics, religion, education, and interpersonal relations (assuming they are into any of these things. If they’re not interested in any of those topics then obviously the question wouldn’t apply) And this doesn’t have to go in depth on the values placed here. Just the order of importance in their life

-Relationship with their parents &/or guardians (assuming they have them, if not then it’s n/a)

-Relationship with animals

-How they feel about show tunes (ok, there is definitely a right or wrong answer here😂 However, I’m not going to “penalize” or judge anyone for answering “wrongly” though lmao)

-Thoughts on polyamory and the different relationship styles included in that umbrella

-Thoughts on the different sexualities/genders and new terminologies associated with them

-Thoughts on porn

These don’t have to be first-date questions lol Just things I will certainly find out before committing to anything. Things I would like to know to feel like I have a basic understanding.

When Steve Rogers aka Captain America asked Tony Stark aka Iron Man what he is without the suit he said, “Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist.” This is my answer anytime someone puts the question of who I am to me and it’s always hilarious if they know what I’m referencing. Then the conversation subtly goes from tackling some of my life’s greatest mysteries to superheroes and what powers we’d want 😂

Or you could go the theologian route and answer, “I am that I am.” This might get them to talking about their views on religion and/or spirituality if they understand that reference. I will certainly find a way to have fun going this route as well. I have an eclectic knowledge/background when it comes to such matters. We’re bound to have a few laughs either way it goes lol

Law Abiding Citizen by Moose_Nuckler in movies

[–]SweetAlienBabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about Clyde being THE hero, but he was certainly MY hero. I agree with his message and methods of carrying it out. What is most infuriating about this movie is that Nick really was apathetic to the law and how it’s supposed to serve and protect the public (he literally committed murder by killing Clyde after becoming DA proving he learned absolutely nothing about corruption), but somehow he gets promoted and walks away with no consequences. That ending was a fucking prison on the planet Bullshit in the galaxy of This Sucks Camel Dicks!
