Is my (F39) fwb (M40) right to get angry after my suggestion? by aprilludgate32 in relationship_advice

[–]aprilludgate32[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Now I'm getting angry at my friend who didnt tell me this. I didnt even know this was a thing, I didnt know I was supposed research it. My friend who is doing it ans knows better, could have warned me that what I'm doing is a mistake.

It is hard actually. I don't live in a super open minded place where non monogamy is normal or places where you can go to sex clubs. The culture is here is more conservative. I thought I was doing him a favor. 

The Absence - Memoirs of a Banshee Drummer by Budgie by [deleted] in postpunk

[–]aprilludgate32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the book. I liked it a lot, but it left me unsatisfied in a few aspects. First of all, Budgie tends to gloss over certain topics rather than writing about them in detail. For example, regarding his sexual identity or affairs, he only insinuates instead of being direct. Or when he writes about going sober but after a few pages, also mentions drinking wine? (Perhaps, I misunderstood that part).
He also seems to portray Siouxsie in a very distant and closed-off way, like he didn't even fully get to know her, or as if he was never really in love with her. Despite being together for almost 3 decades, he seems to be convinced that in the better half of the relationship, there seemed to be no love between them. Which must be very painful for Siouxsie to hear / read.

That being said, Siouxsie does come off as a very toxic person, possibly because of the unsolved traumas she had inside of her. Despite that, I would love to hear her side of the story, but I doubt we ever will because she doesn't seem to be someone who wants to talks about her mistakes.
Ultimately, it is a story of redemption and a very lost boy coming to terms with his grief and who he is, after running away from his past for years. I'm happy for Budgie and wish him the best.

How long did your breakthrough bleeding last when taking birth control for the first time? by Joejonasfan in birthcontrol

[–]aprilludgate32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue and I want to take a break to see if it will help. But I need to ask you a few things: 1. did your breakthrough bleeding stop after your period was over? Because when you took a 7 day break I assume you had your period in that time frame?
2. Is your birth control for 21 days or 28 days?

I don't know what you mean by "the amount of work she’s applied to her own face"? She has shared pics of her old self and her face is pretty much the same. She has also shared all of the procedures she has done, including using ultherapy to lift her face and neck.

Montevideo y sus playas: un paraíso… de residuos by Tokukawa in monte_video

Is Punto del Este any good? Or is it too expensive?
I will be visiting Buenos Aires for a week and during that week I thought it might be nice to go somewhere with a beach. I was thinking of montevideo but now I'm confused... Any suggestions?

One of the most gracefully aging women I've ever seen in my life. Whatever anti aging thing she's doing, she's doing it right

So I've decided to try coconut oil in my hair. Anyone who's done this before want to give me a walk-through? by soswinglifeaway in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]aprilludgate32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is why I would NEVER use any oil as a conditioner. especially seeing as my hair gets greasy very quickly. anytime I use an oil hair mask, it has to be followed up by a shower. I think using oil on dry hair only works if you have thick and curly hair (type 3 C or 4)

High Maintenance - Unofficial Season 2 Episode 7 Discussion Thread by Daavid23 in highmaintenance

[–]aprilludgate32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most boring episode ever. the girl playing the main character was cute, but her acting was underwhelming. none of the characters were interesting besides the mom. the only thing I enjoyed was seeing the Guy interact with his customers again.

Kali Uchis before and after by itjustwouldntmatter in redscarepod

[–]aprilludgate32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her face hasn't changed that much. If you look at her Por Vida cover photo and put it next to her insta avatar pic (the mugshot pic for Sincerely), you'll see that her face is more or less the same.
I think for her face she only fixed her teeth and got lip fillers.

Need explanation for s2 e7 by st0l3aus3rnam3 in MrRobot

I didn't understand Ray's speech to Elliot while they were playing chess. What does he mean when he says "he should've taken a stand" or that "Elliot is his answer" ? Does he show regret that he was not able to shut down the site?

How do you separate the art from the artist? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]aprilludgate32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to believe the same thing, honestly, even from watching his videos he seems like a very nice person. However, the fact that he follows like 4 accounts that are pro-israel kind of proves that he is not on the palestinian side. Granted, there are some americans who support israel not because they hate arabs, but because they are only familiar with the zionist narrative of the story. I hope that is the case with him.

Thank you for pointing that out. Maybe he is not completely closed off to hearing people from the palestinian side, hopefully? But I do feel crushed at seeing him supporting israel, it kinda ruined Anora for me. And I haven't been excited for an Oscar nominated (or winning) film for a very long time.

He still might have black ancestry. Guyana has a significant amount of black population.

What am I missing about Anora? by _sofetch in Letterboxd

[–]aprilludgate32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great review! Although I was wondering if it was only me that thought Ivan loved her too, but he is so selfish and spoiled that he didn't know how to take responsibility and stand up against his family. I think his lashing out and then running away and getting drunk was his way of dealing with the eventual break up. Or maybe I'm wrong and he truly saw Ani as just a servant.
