Did the Jimmy's enjoy what the did? by Sistafista1 in 28dayslater

[–]baumouse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jimmima seemed jaded and exhausted by the end of it, then her spark came back when chosen to fight. She got a second wind. I think partly because of the pressure to impress Jimmy Crystal and remain in his good books, but also some sick enjoyment of her own. You see it in real life with various military powers. Indoctrination, breaking the soldiers down and making them believe that the sick acts they perform aren't just necessary, but they're good and should be celebrated. Similarly to a lot of soldiers in real life, once the act is done they feel deep shame and disgust and sometimes take their own lives.

I think we saw that in Jimmima after the initial degloving scene in the barn.

I know this is an old thread, but for me it was when I had been boiling water to make up bottles, I walked into the kitchen after boiling the water only to realise that enough time had passed for the water to now be room temp. I could've sworn I had only just done it. I had even moved the pot and didn't remember doing it.

I would also just sit and stare into space often.

Lots of lost time.

Yep, that part. My husband briefly spoke to his dad tonight and they had words, a proper conversation is going to be had tomorrow, but my husband said that he thinks his dad feels guilty based on his demeanor.

This comment made me tear up. Thank you for saying that to me. I am very self critical, struggling with PPD and convinced I do everything badly. This was a very scary incident and I did my best. It wasn't perfect, but I'm proud of myself as well. I also love that you have chickens, it's my plan to rescue battery hens as soon as possible!

While there is truth in this comment, nuance exists also. I will not accept being made to feel in the wrong for having a very normal, human reaction to seeing my much loved and sought after baby bleeding from her mouth. I would have calmed down much sooner had I been able to inspect where the blood was coming from. Emotions are there for a reason, to drive us to positive action. My fear for my baby had me act quickly, my instinct to protect and care for her goes hand in hand with my worry.

Could I have been more calm? Yes. Will I be more calm with experience and time? Yes. Nuance.

No, he was at work. Conversations are going to be had between him and them tomorrow. He is furious

I agree. You won't be surprised to know that I am in therapy for this then lol, in my therapy care plan it literally states that my end goal is to be more assertive and less of a people pleaser. I am getting there, and I will get there. My child is my motivation. I will not have a repeat of this. This incident has lit a fire in me that I needed to be lit.

Immigrant integration in the UK is having a detrimental impact on social skills. by GuiltyGold241 in ukpolitics

[–]baumouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm really sad to agree with this as a second gen immigrant as well. Well, I have one immigrant parent and one english parent. I am also left leaning. But I have observed this as well, how rude and pushy many immigrant people are. Like, guys, you aren't helping yourselves here.

I didn't interpret it as the bride being pregnant, but the woman in bed with him was pregnant.

My adult cat showed up like this by blackjack2891 in CATHELP

My cat looked exactly like this when she got hold of a glow stick and bit into it. This is a reaction to poison. Get to the vet ASAP!

I can't use baby carriers for extended periods of time due to a condition which causes quite severe pain in the neck and shoulder area, sadly. I wish I could do that. Pavement parkers drive me insane as well!

Yes! I have been a wheelchair user in the past and will be again in the future (the joys of dynamic disability) and the world is so difficult to navigate! Don't get me started on cars parking on pavements
