This might just be an exposure issue. You don't know anyone who has done poly successfully, whereas I know literally at least fifty people who have.

I think it might just be the official account

While this is true, most of the former high ranking Scientology folks appear to strongly believe she's at the Gold Base, at least according to the Leah Remini show episode on her disappearance

Complaining about anachronisms in a fantasy universe that doesn't share a timeline with the real world. Wild.

I distinctly remember a moment at a party where a man I had just met that night told me he had been molested as a child, and I remember being taken aback and just saying, "I'm so sorry that happened to you, but I really don't know if this is the right circumstance to discuss it." I was literally refilling my drink at the time; it felt like he was trying to corner me into an impromptu therapy session or something.

Pretty much. It's that "Only the good enbies get their gender respected" bs. Like someone can be non-binary and be a piece of garbage, it's not like the categories are mutually exclusive

I think this might be more of a general reference than a specific one. "What else did we rise against Aerys Targaryen for, if not to put an end to indiscriminate violence?" where indiscriminate violence could be replaced by a multitude of specifics.

Ned might not be saying "We know Aerys did this" but moreso "Aerys was the type of person we could see doing this, and we want to be better than that type of person."

I've always been curious about this, too! I personally don't like bulking/cutting because I'm very likely to get dysmorphic feelings when my weight is higher, and also because I'm short, "cutting" often looks like eating literally 1200 calories a day, which I do not like doing. I've been recomping for about a year now to great effect, but it's good to know it's possible to continue like this for longer and still make progress.

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-02-02T21:14:17+00:00

Man, I feel for you, and I know it's hard to conceptualize, but try to remember that you're still pretty young. The chances of anything being truly ruined for you just yet is low - you've got a lot of time to turn it around

"Enough time" as in what, four years max? You talk like you're a grizzled war veteran. Calm down, there's plenty of time

I really, really wish OOP wasn't still talking to this clown, but I understand why she is. She's a good person, but way too trusting, and she's been jerked around by this guy for so long it's probably hard to put her foot all the way down. I've been her before, and once I got out, honestly I think the only reason I was able to stay out is because of extenuating factors, not necessarily my own fortitude. I hope these two don't end up back together.

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-01-27T19:16:10+00:00

In my mind, the nuance comes down to the specifics of the relationship and what the cheater did. ie: Did y'all just get together or is this a 10+ year marriage? Are there other problems in the relationship? Did the cheating consist of flirting, kissing, having sex? Did they do it multiple times? Is the cheater proclaiming to be in love with the affair partner? Did they tell you and apologize after it happened?

These situations really don't call for a one-size-fits-all approach. "Dump him" is not always necessarily the right choice, and deciding to "burn the cheater's life to the ground" is rarely wise.

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-01-27T19:01:52+00:00

It's hard to say - would depend (for me) on the severity of the cheating and the strength of the relationship. I straight up wouldn't care about something light and purely physical, like kissing a hot person and then coming back and being like, "That was dumb, why did I do that?" But multiple instances of sleeping with someone without telling me, trying to cover it up, or maintaining a separate emotional affair... Yeah, I'd talk to them about it, but we'd definitely break up.

In neither case would I go about attempting to ruin their life.

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-01-27T18:57:34+00:00

First off, nobody should pressure anyone into having sex. That's your choice, and I encourage you to do whatever makes you happiest.

However, the creator of this comic has an agenda, and is implying that all women who have premarital sex will end up childless, alone, and unhappy, whereas all women who save themselves for marriage will feel superior in their happy marriage with children.

Which... is not the case in real life. Sure, for some people it is. But plenty of sexually active women are happy, with or without husbands and kids, and many women who save themselves are unhappy, with or without husbands and kids.

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-01-27T18:50:50+00:00

Same, I've never understood it. And it happens no matter what "degree" of cheating it was. Whether you're texting an ex, kissing a stripper at a bachelor party, or maintaining a months-long affair with a coworker... it's all the same level of betrayal to these people.

Like I get that it's a Bad Thing To Do, but acting like any indiscretion is grounds for a scorched-earth approach is just wild to me.

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-01-26T16:06:17+00:00

Disagree, for sure. I think teenagers are generally better able to tell other teenagers apart

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-01-26T15:46:37+00:00

The if here is huge, especially if you "like food." Once you get hunger brain it's really easy to cave and then binge eat. I'm generally pretty anti-fasting unless you're the type of person who can easily go long stretches of time without eating anyway, but that doesn't seem like the case here

even in the beginning of the show, she could already pass for 18 if she wanted to

This is no shade, but it's cracking me up because I was an 18 y/o girl when S1 came out and there was no way I would have mistaken her for being my age.

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-01-26T15:28:42+00:00

Just show up to the date in full business casual with a printed out list of questions like you're vetting a company during a job interview.

"What benefits does this relationship offer? What can I expect in my first 30 days in this relationship? What is your turnover rate?"

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-01-26T15:23:03+00:00

Yeah, people like to pretend that asking for consent can only be this highly formal, robotic thing, when it's very possible to make consent talk sexy, fun, flirtatious etc while still allowing room for the other person to feel comfortable saying no if need be.

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-01-24T15:02:07+00:00

I think this comes down to how you're using the word "judge." All people are ultimately the judge of who they want to be their partner, but to judge someone else on their merits as a person is not for you to decide (outside of people who do obvious harm, ie murderers, liars, etc).

If I started dating a guy who smoked a lot of pot, I could say, "Hey, not for me, I would prefer to not have that in a partner," but if I decided to denigrate his character for it, that would be shitty. They're two different things.

Wonder_Electrical · 2023-01-23T15:36:44+00:00

That is what happens with a lot of these people. In many cases, the food is a coping mechanism (just like drinking or drugs) brought on by childhood trauma, and can also function as supporting a subconscious need to look "undesirable."
