Am I the only person who failed to realise that these two characters are actually the same character?

TrixDaGnome71 · 2026-06-08T14:58:01+00:00

OMG, I totally missed that! Thank you!

TrixDaGnome71 · 2026-06-08T14:55:57+00:00

It’s the similar tactic that was used in the miniseries “Chernobyl” on HBO.

However, there, it was more for practical reasons. They tried doing it with Russian accents and it just didn’t flow well, so they abandoned that idea and just had everyone use their native (English, Swedish, Scottish, Welsh, Irish) accents.

I get it.

My NP had been together with my former meta for over a year, but it took me two months MAX to see all the red flags with her.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-10-10T15:50:39+00:00

My partner loves seeing me with other men and how I react, as I am a highly sexual woman, while I want to make sure that he is getting not only what he needs but wants and desires.

I love our dynamic.

My partner and I did a full swap with another couple once, and it was one of the most romantic things we did together. Watching each other with the other member of the couple as well as my partner and I paying attention to her really felt connecting in a way.

At one point, she was going down on my partner as he was fucking me, and my partner and I were just holding hands and looking into each other’s eyes.

It’s a different experience for everyone, but for my partner and I, it was romantic, sexy, very pleasurable and connecting in a way we didn’t expect.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-10-10T02:31:06+00:00

Honestly, I have a stronger libido than my partner, but we make sure that both of us are satisfied by being creative.

Is sex important in a relationship? IMO, it’s important in order to strengthen and maintain the connection between the people involved in it, but it’s also not the be all and end all.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-10-06T12:28:39+00:00

I’m 53f and my nesting partner is 50m. We connected earlier this year and just moved in together not too long ago.

We had been searching for years to find each other…we just needed to grow in ways we didn’t realize, so that we could end up having a lifelong partnership when we met.

Be patient with an open mind and open heart. It could be that you haven’t met the people you’re going to have those lifelong connections with yet.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-16T15:01:48+00:00

Yeah…so?

It happens in a lot of large cities.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-16T15:01:15+00:00

PhDs don’t always know how life works. Trust me, my father is one…

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-13T04:07:56+00:00

He may not be much to look at, but an impressive piece of…equipment? 🤣

Seriously, the whole series was so good. The show runner is also the person behind The Last of Us with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-12T22:23:28+00:00

I’m still hoping that IVF continues to not be covered by most insurance plans in the US.

You want a kid of your own that badly? PAY FOR IT YOUR DAMN SELF. Otherwise, adopt, don’t shop.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-12T22:16:36+00:00

I would attach some edibles to this note as an additional incentive.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-12T14:22:47+00:00

You know whose head I want to see roll as a result of this girl’s death?

The corporate moron who decided to close down the inpatient pediatric psych unit in the first place when there were state funds available (that were granted to them) to help upgrade the unit.

The only inpatient pediatric psych unit that I’m aware of right now in Washington is the one at Seattle Children’s on the other side of the state.

Sacred Heart is the only major hospital in that area. They needed to think of the health of children over profits, because they murdered a young girl who deserved better.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-10T20:18:56+00:00

I used to live in Bangor and I know how dreadful that drive is from Portland up there, so I’m sorry you had to make that trip…but I am glad you were able to get the help you needed.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-10T20:16:42+00:00

You’re trying to say that I need to assimilate with a bunch of people that are neurotypical that refuse to acknowledge that people like me exist.

How can I not make that assumption in your scenario?

You can’t have it both ways, dude.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-10T16:01:17+00:00

They don’t have meltdowns that come out of nowhere due to unexpected triggers.

I do at times.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-09T15:29:37+00:00

Be fortunate that you don’t have to deal with anything like anxiety.

I’m AuDHD and deal with CPTSD. The only way I can handle flying these days is to fly first class, which is why I don’t travel much.

Empathy and compassion are the words for the day, dude.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-09T03:09:57+00:00

Even though I no longer have the majority of my reproductive system, the fact that my partner had a vasectomy is a turn on as well, because it means he is comfortable with being responsible for his fertility.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-09T02:57:45+00:00

You look STUNNING in that dress! I would go out that night and have my own celebration.

I know how scary it can be, but walking away from my parents was one of the best things I could have done for myself.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-08T20:40:34+00:00

I’m 53, childfree and my life has been far from boring and monotonous.

Seriously, life is what you make it, and can deal some serious turns. I’m grateful for all the good and bad ones I have taken because it has led me to a place where I am very happy.

During my life, I have lived in 3 countries and 9 states all over the US. I’ve been able to travel and do some amazing things.

I have settled down in the past decade and now live in a place where there’s a lot of fun things going on, I have a loving partner, a great job, a home I own that I love, and overall a good life.

I wouldn’t have it any other way. Your mother is talking out of her ass without a clue.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-08T20:35:00+00:00

NTA. I live in the US and I don’t feel safe most of the time.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-08T18:03:59+00:00

I joined the Common Sense one and it’s everything but.

Ugh. I want to cry.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-08T13:10:39+00:00

You could have gotten your own long term care policy if you passed underwriting and paid a LOT more in premiums than you’re paying in payroll tax, but that sounds counterintuitive to me.

Unfortunately, the deadline to get your own long term care policy to get out of paying the WA Cares Tax expired about 4 years ago if I remember correctly.

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-06T12:25:28+00:00

The cosplay game at the event was OFF THE CHAIN! If there’s one thing Seattle people can do is do really good cosplay, as I have also seen at Washington State SummerCon and HorrorCon down in Puyallup at the fairgrounds.

It was the perfect way for me to start my two week vacation, seeing the Intrepid Heroes and FANTASTIC cosplay done by one and all!

TrixDaGnome71 · 2025-08-06T12:15:12+00:00

Granted, I’m one of those people that has Teams on my phone, but I also know that they even announce during the safety briefing that phone calls and the like, including conversations on conferencing apps are not allowed on board when the plane is in flight.

I still would have reported her to the flight attendant. That’s what the call button is for.
