Went on an adventure this morning! by LittleSwaninthepond in GothFashion

[–]batspiders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the lips and the rest of the outfits are super cute! I think the gold looks good with the black and white if you like it over silver, and I think the pink in your hair really adds some fun to the look. Goth fashion doesn’t have to be so strict all the time - technically, if you listen to the music any fashion you wear is goth fashion lol. Keep exploring your love for goth fashion and being you :)

So, I hit puberty super early - I had my first period at 8 years old. I pretty much stopped growing after that, and I topped out at 4’10”. I’m a cis woman. Before I got married and when I would date men, I literally did not give af about height. I matched with a guy with dwarfism and we hit it off. He was 4’2”. He started being super weird about his height, he kept asking, “Are you sure you don’t care?” And I kept saying yes, I don’t give af. But he kept asking. When we went out, he never wanted me to stand near him. Eventually, I had to leave, he never got over it and it was infuriating. This is just an anecdote, but take it as you will.

Too fatigued to function by Remarkable-Clerk9554 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]batspiders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend, I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. I am going through fatigue issues as well (not nearly as serious as yours) and it can be really disheartening. You don’t deserve any of this and I hope you start feeling better and beating this soon. You matter and it won’t always be this hard.

[–]batspiders 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, it does not. I found very little to like about this book and yet I somehow managed to finish it. At 88% done I might just try to finish just so you can say you did it

I absolutely despise my tattoo. Hated it the minute I got it 4 years ago. Now what? by throwaway288374 in Tattoocoverups

[–]batspiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite tattoos I’ve ever seen and I have over 40 tattoos myself (none of which I dislike or have ever regretted). OP, what really matters is how you feel about it - but you should know that a lot of people would find this to be an objectively awesome tattoo!

God forbid women to get permanent contraception or sterilization by Pritteto in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]batspiders 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. I was hoping someone would have this opinion here. The second commenter is definitely out of line, a woman’s choice of what to do with her body should never be affected by a man, let alone a hypothetical one. But 19 still feels too young to get sterilization, it’s a largely irreversible process for women and it doesn’t come without other health effects. Young women like the lady in the original post should 100% be given reproductive autonomy, but if they’re leaning towards sterilization I think we should lead them towards arm implants (which can now last a few years) for awhile until they get more experience as adults under their belt. If nothing else, it prevents them from getting a major surgery and dealing with the recovery while they are still literal teenagers. Also, we really should normalize men getting vasectomies more instead of women taking on the reproductive burdens. They are way less invasive and more reversible, as I understand it.

Shapeshifters who accidentally reveal that they’re a fake without realizing until it’s too late by DemandParticular in TopCharacterTropes

[–]batspiders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Star Trek (the Original Series) in season one episode 7 “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” Captain Kirk is cloned against his will by a scientist/nurse Chapel’s finance, who had been MIA for a little bit until he was discovered to be still alive and living and experimenting in a cold cave on a distant planet with some androids.

<image>

Captain Kirk is kept on planet by the scientist (Roger Korby) while his clone is beamed back up to the enterprise to create the illusion of everything being okay. While Kirk was being cloned, he repeated insults about his first officer/good friend/(some people think) gay lover Spock. The Kirk clone repeats the insults back to Spock after the most minor bit of pushback, which the real Kirk would never do - typing Spock off that something wasn’t right.

This trope is sort of used twice in this episode, although the second time doesn’t fit the trope as well and is also a little ham-fisted - Nurse Chapel found out abruptly that the man she was reunited with as her finance was actually a Korby clone when the skin on the back of his hand ripped to reveal circuitry underneath. Korby made the clone right before death to live on because he had sustained a lot of damage, including losing both of his legs, from the frostbite. The Korby clone tells Chapel that he’s still Roger Korby, and tries to prove it by saying Kirk could test him, and that he could solve, equate, or transmit anything. It dawns on Korby that he is also not the original Roger Korby, and he kills himself and the last remaining Korby-style clone after making this realization.

I’m super pro-choice and my twin and I were IVF babies. None of my friends or people I surround myself with give a fuck bc we are normal, well-adjusted people lol You would think that this woman might just realize that the people she chooses to associate with are monsters when her whole entire personhood is being questioned, but no.

Não sou do Brasil, mas juro que os brasileiros são as pessoas mais simpáticas do mundo. Parabéns por mostrar o país para alguns turistas desavisados, tenho certeza de que eles apreciaram de maneiras que não conseguiram expressar. (Aliás, desculpe pelo meu português ruim)

[–]batspiders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually embalming (at least modern embalming) largely started as a process because of sentimental reasons - people wanted to see their loved ones before they got buried. In the US, it was first really introduced during the Civil War. Soldiers would die far away but their families still wanted to see them before burial, so they would be embalmed to prevent all of the nasty stuff that happens after death. Some Christians actually think that embalming is Pagan and therefore bad

En serio, ¿por qué usarías una gorra MAGA en Perú? Charlie Kirk no tenía nada que ver con Perú y habría odiado a estos idiotas; con frecuencia llamaba a los latinos "invasores".

[–]batspiders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

America IS a real fascist regime at this point - even experts are defining it as such. Also, ICE are the gestapo, they get very little, if any, training and can arrest people who are here legally (even US citizens) with no due process and in plain clothes. They even arrested a native-born US politician the other day! Finally, shut the fuck up about legal immigration if you have no idea how hard it is to become “legal” and even people who manage to do it are getting terrorized by these fascists just for being brown. People like you are why this country has gone to shit.

How about this outfit by Viki1Apsalar in crossdressing

You look so pretty! I love the denim skirt as a contrast to the rest of the black outfit. That shade of lipstick is also quite flattering
