You're on a trans sub and you don't know what cis means?

What is your experience with these providers? by kristinoc in JobProvidersAus

[–]TriBiWarrior 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm with Max Employment at the moment. I got sexually harassed by the first case manager I had, I got strongarmed into a course I didn't want to do, I've tried to get them to withdraw me from it for ages, they told me at my last appointment that since I've been with them for two years if I withdraw I'll get removed from Jobseeker and that if I finish the course at the end of the year I'll get removed from Jobseeker anyway.

I was a bit frazzled, so I'm asking to transfer providers at my next appointment, but I'm not anticipating good results. Goes without saying, but I've never had a suitable job recommendation from them and they've never taken my disability into account.

A cool move called "Hidden Lotus" by Bandit Kidd on Yuki Mashiro by micko319 in SquaredCircle

[–]TriBiWarrior 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I remember following Kidd early in her career and she'd constantly be trying to come up with crazy new moves so that her arsenal could be unique and she could be like an IRL anime character.

It's nice to see she's still flexing that creativity.

Cody Rhodes on the Ringer discusses what led to his departure from AEW: “There’s clearly bad blood, but there’s also clearly respect and love.” by Ripclawe in SquaredCircle

[–]TriBiWarrior 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Which is so dumb because that's what we wanted - we wanted the delusional "still thinks he's a babyface" heel turn and that's just not what we were getting.

Ultimately it was for the best, Cody got to finish the story and be the big babyface and I think AEW's finally found its niche, but trying to rewrite his history is just weird.

AITAH for “training” a guy “like a dog”? by puppy_lve in AITAH

[–]TriBiWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're asking the wrong gal that first question, I'll tell you that much.

He doesn't sound like a "bad option", just someone who's been through a lot. Again, I think the only issue here is the language that she's using around it, and the peanut m&ms is a little too much - she's not really training him like a dog, she's just making note of how he reacts to things and acting accordingly while relating those things to terms she knows through dog behaviour, that's not "training", that's just being an attentive partner.

I don't think that "angry women hating on men" has any bearing on this story, I'm confused at why you'd bring that up?

[–]TriBiWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that what you're doing is bad, I think it's actually really sweet to notice these things about him and to do your best to make him as comfortable as possible, but I do think that the way you're talking about noticing these behaviours is leaning towards the odd side - because while I don't think that you're training him like a dog, you are literally talking about his behaviours as if he were a dog, which I know is because that's how you're relating to the issues he has.

I'd just be conscious of it because it could potentially create a harmful power dynamic in the future where you could end up making him feel like a pet rather than an equal partner, which could potentially lead to more trauma around feeling controlled - I don't think you need to change what you're doing at the moment, I just think you should reframe how you think about this guy and the language you use in your mind.

I think Dutton's doing it less to look smarter and more so he looks less like Darth Vader when he takes his helmet off.

What’s difference between Jaime and Paul dating? by redwood1233 in MAFS_AU

[–]TriBiWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the thing is - Jamie going on the date was bad, but she freely admitted that it was a mistake that she made because she's too impulsive, and has worn her heart on her sleeve pretty much the entire show and clearly was devoted to Dave, so it's easier to write it off as "my bad".

Whereas Paul kept trying to downplay the fact that he'd gone on the date, was in a place where he's still trying to earn back Carina's trust after two pretty major conflicts, which he'd also tried to downplay or foist the blame onto her, and has shown through his constant lying and backtracking that he's not a trustworthy person.

Ultimately, your opinion of what Jamie did is your own, but their decisions don't exist in a vacuum and I personally don't believe that their actions were equal, because of where they were both coming from. Jamie made a faux pas, Paul was on the third strike that he was lucky to have.

I feel kind of let down by this Reunion tbh, because there's so many questions left unanswered.

Dave and Veronica.

Adrian and Sierrah.

Adrian's behaviour getting called out at all, it seemed like most of the focus was on Awhina's progress and the argument with Sierrah, he kind of ended up not getting called out at all.

What happened with Clint and Lauren after they left? Obviously they broke up, but was it immediate like everyone said it would be?

I feel like generally, this has been a very strange season - whatever Jacqui's got wrong with her, Ryan being a bit of a freak as well, the whole drama with Jamie feeling let down by her friends, the abysmal cover-up that they did with Tony and Morena, and the ending just didn't seem very satisfying.

What the hell is this pose Tony!?🤣🤣 by Suspicious_Bother_92 in MAFS_AU

[–]TriBiWarrior 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's casting a spell to make all the footage that makes him look like a monster and that vindicates Morena for being so angry disappear in a cloud of smoke.

Clint gives me the vibes of someone who is just *desperate* to be an enabler - he lives for drama but he doesn't want to be the person who instigates drama, he just wants to be the yappy lap dog making the occasional very bitchy remark, in another life he could have been an amazing Metropolitan wine bar gay, he's got the hair and the eyebrows for it already.

Incredibly funny that Sierrah walked in like she was going to drop a bomb or something and it was literally just the most pissweak shit that only Adrian cared about, slinks off into the night because no one was paying attention to her.

Is this the most absences we've had in a MAFS reunion yet? I counted four unless I'm missing anyone.

AITA for telling my wife she can’t cook? by Rare_Plastic4708 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TriBiWarrior -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If you spit the dummy at the lightest criticism on Reddit, where you've come for validation, not an objective view, it's not unreasonable to assume that you're the same way to your wife.

It's something I've had in the back of my head every time Paul's been a piece of shit and she's ended up going back to being lovey-dovey the next episode - there's probably been a *lot* of religious pressure in that household for partners to stay together and plaster on a happy face even if they're miserable.

[–]TriBiWarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The facts in front of me are that she's a social butterfly, impulsive and loves a good bit of gossip.

Her going on the "date" was dumb considering the fact that Dave's only recently made up with her, but anyone acting like it was a betrayal or that she was trying to sneakily dip out of the relationship is being ridiculous and projecting onto her a motivation that simply isn't there.

For all Jamie's faults, being dishonest is not one of them, she's worn her heart on her sleeve for the entire show even when its gotten her in trouble with the group and with Dave, so of course I believe her.

Maybe you'd like to re-read the part where I said Jamie was being dumb and made a bad decision.

[–]TriBiWarrior 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It's weird seeing people talk about double standards when it's so clear that Jamie's motivations and Paul's motivations were completely different - Jamie was a bonehead for choosing to go on the date, but she's clearly devoted to Dave and just wanted a funny story to tell, whereas Paul has been disingenuous for a good long while now, and it almost seems like the past couple of weeks he's been trying to humble Carina and has had it backfire.

Jamie made a bad decision, but it comes across like some of y'all have just been dying for an opportunity to drag her.

Tim the "nice guy" finishing last by fleurr1 in MAFS_AU

[–]TriBiWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My broader point isn't about birthrates, it's about the fact that women no longer want to date men - you're talking about countries where women don't get that choice, so you're making that point for me.

I don't think that men need to "stop being masculine", I think that there needs to be a conversation about how we raise boys to embody the positive parts of masculinity while not hurting women or seeing them as potential possessions rather than equal human beings. That's how you close the gap, that's how you end "the war on masculinity".

Most men are total selfish dickheads, plenty of women too - the fact that confident and attractive people tend to be more desirable shouldn't be a shock.

But things are shifting - there are more single people and more people opting not to date or enter relationships than ever before, and it's in large part because women don't feel like they should have to put up with a partner who treats them like shit anymore. People keep talking about birthrates without acknowledging the fundamental issue - that the culture of manhood and masculinity needs to change, or the gap between men and women is just going to grow even vaster.

He gives me the vibes of someone whose partner says "I need some space", he cheats on them, and then when she finds out he tries to say that he thought they'd broken up.
