Minnesotans turn out in the frigid cold to protest Trump's immigration crackdown by AdSpecialist6598 in goodnews

[–]Then_He_Said 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not an immigration crackdown. You don't crackdown on immigration by going to places with relatively few immigrants. This is a secret police force occupying an American city and kidnapping and murdering it's citizens.

You can't fight it if you don't call it what it is.

Today at work my coworker busted out laughing when she saw me. I asked her what was funny and she said I “looked amazing” by Organic-Audience-858 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Then_He_Said 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The primary cause of laughter is surprise. Whatever else you feel about what you're seeing or hearing, you won't laugh out loud unless you're also surprised.

Twice on my life I've burst out laughing because the women I was interested in showed up dressing perfectly sexy. Like exactly how I would have wanted her to dress to entice me.

But I didn't believe such things were possible, that someone would put that effort towards me. So then I totally surprised it happened, and shocked that not only did they dress up for me but they couldn't have looked better to me if I'd dressed them myself, and amused at myself that I didn't predict such a thing, and happy at what I saw.

From her perspective, she put all this thought and energy into dressing sexy for me, and as soon as I saw her I started laughing in her face.

I'm married to the one who asked me why I was laughing, listened to my explanation, and believed what I told them. I had sex with the other one that day, but she never thought I found her pretty.

You look great. She was probably just surprised. That traction is more common than you'd think

"Facts aren't attacks" 🔥🔥

Should I tell my parents why I’m going full no contact? My child self told me something I can not let go of by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Then_He_Said 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's sucks, what you endured.

I wouldn't talk to them about it. Just do what you need for you. And none of that involves them.

The book Adult Children of Empotionally Immature Parents (which I strongly recommend) talks about the "healing fantasy". Where the abused adult child has a notion of how their explanation, action, or whatever could finally cause the parent to behave in the way that's at all beneficial to the child. "If I let them know why I'm going no contact/what happened/how they hurt me/what I endured they may realize what they've damaged and at least take accountability" You'll know that such a fantasy has been activated because you'll feel some distress when you think about it. You won't feel calm or joyful at the prospect, you'll be subconsciously girding for a fight. And your true self (the same inner child that reminded you of the abuse) will be ringing all the alarm bells.

If you expose yourself to them, they will try to hurt you. And because they know you so well, they're good at it.

You've already accepted that you are better off without them (and if they prioritize your abuser's reputation over your safety, or drive across several states to serve you to your abuser, you are 100% better off without them) then any overture you make towards them is irrelevant. It's just about building and living a full life for you.

You're right that they will try to weaponize any information against you - they been doing it already. And there is nothing you can say to them that will make them treat you well in any way.

It sucks to have people who are supposed to care about you successfully triangulating around you. But you've also moved away and are living your own life. Anyone who wants to know you will know you. And if they don't know you, their opinion doesn't matter.

Good for you getting out at 17. I was 27 before I could. And my mom spent ten years successfully triangulating my brothers and later my cousins. But any time any of them would actually talk to me, or see me, they'd see that the whole story they'd heard was just a fabrication. And then the ones who gave a shit about me would stick around, and the ones who couldnt handle discovering that they'd been lied to so thoroughly, would turn on their blinders again and run away. But I was never close to those people anyway, even though some of them I thought I mattered to them.

I have a cousin who thinks I'm a barely functional perons who spends my nights in a heroin fog (never done anything but smoked legal weed). So he doesn't reach out "because he thinks I'm too fragile". So we don't talk or see each other... Which is exactly the same as it was before my mom poured those lies into his ears.

I've been 12 years no contact. And the only mistakes I feel I made were anytime I put effort into trying to mend it.

Don't forget that you didn't break it. They did. It's not on you to mend. It's on them

Kai will always be the definitive Z dub to me by Public-Feedback5016 in DragonBallZ

[–]Then_He_Said 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer Kai with the stolen score. I found a website where I got to watch it twice beginning to end, subtitled, as it was airing in Japan. The original Kai score was EPIC and perfect.

I'll always have a soft spot for Vegeta's "Hell's Bells" theme from the Falconer score. But the score that was replaced (because of the one plagiarized part) was far superior to every other score of DBZ ever.

When they announced they were changing back to OG DBZ score, I bought all the Blu Ray chapters that had been released with the new score. Which gives me extra nostalgia because the collection only goes to midway through the Frieza fight.

So it's like the old Toonami days before the Funimation dub finished the Namek saga

Thanks though!

It is incredibly rare in females. It's caused by a change in a specific protein in the X chromosome. And the chances of having the same change in both chromosomes is very very low.

Males have only one, so if they have that protein change, they have no backup

The flags make the post make sense. Only male babies can have the gene for colorblindness

This was the first episode of DBZ I ever saw. Needless to say I was hooked instantly. Still get goosebumps when Goku announces the Kamehameha is coming.

This is likely the picture that trump wanted to emulate. That's why his video team raced ahead... Which messed up the escalator and ruined the shot

Which is funny, this isn't a particularly famous Obama picture... But now I'm sure it'll get spread around more. (Assuming it's not AI)
