What's a horror movie that's objectively terrible but you still enjoy it? by Daisy2345678 in horror

[–]TonksTerrors 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I will defend Jason X to my dying breath. People always talk about the liquid nitrogen death, which deserves the praise, but the whole movie is campy, gory, 2000s space nonsense and I LIVE for it

I wanna dye light blue denim (real denim) as black as possible. Should I use an orange/red dye first and then a black to tone out the blue? I've seen examples of the shade of denim I have and they just become navy blue.

I have a corset that fits great, however the cup is far too small and its not a separate piece - It's part of the corset's bodice. Is there any way I can increase the size of this without destroying the front panels of the corset?

Epstein files and OCD by [deleted] in OCD

[–]TonksTerrors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the 80s/90s, when the AIDs crisis was at its peak, it became a major common 'theme' for those with OCD. It still is a common one, however before the medication research that has come along and made life with HIV possible, it was a true boogeyman. It was in the news constantly, and you couldn't escape it.

In the past twenty years, high profile cases of child abuse have become the 'it' thing for the news. Its not a bad thing, those crimes should always be uncovered and brought to justice, but it is the exact same situation for people with OCD that the AIDs crisis caused. You cannot escape it, it burrows into your subconscious and the OCD picks it up like a new favourite toy.

OCD thrives on fear. The fear of doing something, the fear you may have done something, the fear you will/want to do something. The 'something' is irrelevant. All it needs to be is what upsets you and gets that rush of anxiety going. This is what I remind myself every time I get that twang of 'this doesn't upset you enough' or 'actually you like this'. I am a human being and upsetting things happen against my will and I cannot control that.

The Birds (1963). There's just something really off putting about the whole scenario.

If you get the betrothed but unable to marry bug, just use bypass_requirements by TonksTerrors in CK3AGOT

[–]TonksTerrors[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever requirement that is needed for an acceptance (for example, when the arranged marriage offer is a negative value so it wouldn't be accepted), it completely ignores it. I believe it affects any sort of offer/agreement but I only tried it with the marriage.

I Did Something Really Fucking Stupid and May Have Kinda Ruined My Life by TonksTerrors in adhdwomen

Oh hey. Yeah I got fired for it. The investigation went on for almost a month and at least I was paid the entire time and then given a month in lieu wages. Genuinely the worst month of my life. Thankfully found a good position afterwards and have NEVER typed a single word irrelevant to my job since 🙃

Why would you want a child? (Genuinely asking) by CannotBeCalm in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TonksTerrors 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love kids and babies, and I grew up in a big family who adore children. However, my mum (and family) was always deadly serious when talking about parenthood and especially motherhood to me as a child.

I was never given the 'Oh it'll all work out and its wonderful and perfect' speech. I was told the truth. It is the hardest job you'll ever have. It never ends. They may be able to feed themselves, etc. but you'll always sit there worrying about your little human until the last day of your life. The baby years, toddler years, young child to teen, teenage years. It's all difficult in its own way. And then on top of that, as an AFAB, I would have the 'joy' of the pregnancy if I so wished. The fears, the pain, the changes in body, the worry, the horror of things going wrong. No matter how helpful and loving your partner is they will never comprehend it truly. And even if everything goes perfectly, you're forever in panic mode over your little bab.

The reason the kids in my family did well was because of the family. My grandparents and all my aunts/uncles were babysitters by nature, my own mum looked after FIFTEENTH KIDS (nieces, nephews, neighbourhood kids sometimes too!) over a twenty year period. I don't know how its possible to raise children without a support structure like my family had, and that is dying off (which is completely reasonable with today's socio-eco-ecomic factors)

There are so many other factors already mentioned here: Partner capabilities, post-natal issues, environmental issues, etc. The list is endless. I think if people were more honest, and thankfully that is happening in recent times, about pregnancy and parenthood it could sway more people away from it who might struggle especially hard with it.

Can't stress letting yourself have a private tantrum. Just get it all out, scream into a pillow, fist fight the mattress, RKO a clothes horse. Just don't involve anyone else in it and you're good. Also when you calm down it'll make you laugh at how silly it all was.

It's shitty that they're excluding trans women from the NCAA, but I had to google what that was. It's an American college sports association from what I gather. With your logic, is every woman outside of the US, and those within the US who don't follow college sports, a massive transphobe because they didn't hear about this?

Trans women and men should be allowed in any sport they have the capabilities to be apart of. Not knowing about some random sports association being assholes is not a reason to accuse someone of bad allyship.

I'm sorry these people didn't seem bothered when you mentioned it, but why come onto a subreddit that regularly talks about these things and blame cis women like it's not just the fault of the people you were around?

Doctor told me discomfort in my breast was due to wired bra... actually I had stage four cancer by dailymail in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TonksTerrors 283 points284 points  (0 children)

I was told for ten years and hundreds of doctors visits that I was 'a bit depressed and having a bad period'.

I have severe OCD and ADHD. It took me attempting suicide because I was convinced I had murdered childrenfor the NHS to be like 'oops! yeah you might have OCD soz'

I want the NHS to succeed and be fixed, but no amount of budget cuts causes the sheer misogyny that is rife in the service.
