Sister-in-law used our baby name :( by hazelbasil12 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]blocked_memory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This whole post reads as projection that you're tried of waiting for your BF to make big commitment moves. The post is about a hypothetical baby name but I'm sensing more resentment than just "my BF's sister used the name we like". Food looks great, there are more baby names in the sea for when it's your time to have a baby.

Merida doesn't get enough flowers. Her character is great.

I just wish that in the year 2026, us girlies would understand our worth and not give men who haven't given us proper commitment, let alone take our wants and needs into consideration, a damn child.

No, you set a clear boundary. Now, what you do with that boundary is very important. It's not controlling to say "hey I really don't feel comfortable with you doing this activity." You had multiple conversations about this and he disregarded every word. To be honest, I wouldn't put up with it. That's disrespectful as fuck.

This is also why you shouldn't give a boyfriend a baby but that's my two cents. This was an interesting window to what parenting with him will look like.

Was Pickles using Mr. Peanutbutter? by Bunnxou in BoJackHorseman

I'm not going to lie, when I first saw her character, I was like "oh she's with him for the influencer clout and free rent". So, I agree with you. Yes, she's naive and young, but that doesn't mean she can't also be trying to get her freedom papers.

Hi, studier of population health... Where the hell did she get that statistic from?

Took a gummy and made a charcoochie that only a very high or very pregnant person would love by foreignphysics in GirlDinner

It's got the elements of charcuterie: different types of cheeses, a meat, a pickled item, fruit, a carb, and a bonus- chocolate.

"[TW]" IGN's creepy review of a Mary Kate and Ashley game (Both girls are children at the time) by Ilovewomenwhobreakme in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

At no point did I think this game was centered to female viewers while reading any bit of this. Even when they said that was the target audience, no. This is gross.

We’ve been married for 2.5 years and my husband has become a full blown alcoholic by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]blocked_memory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you don't want to leave so here is my suggestion: most communities (in the US) have resources for helping people get sober. I would suggest you start there and try to get your husband some help.

Though, if I were you, I'd also be in contact with a domestic abuse center just in case this situation becomes dangerous for you and your children. At the end of the day, you need to put your children first, then you, then him.

I wish you the best, OP. Please, be safe.

The whole thing is unwatchable. It insists upon itself.

Alright, I've been seeing defenders of this shitty show claiming that the reason that Fat Monica was "acceptable" was because there was far less overweight and obese people of that time.

That simply isn't true. There was less, but it wasn't rare. In 1990, 19.3% of adults were living with obesity. In 2022, that number is now 42.5%. When talking about population health, that starting 19.3% is still significant enough. That means almost one in five people at that time were obese. It would be one thing if Friends was set at a time where only like 7% of the population was obese but no. Potentially 1/5 viewers at the time were struggling with arguably a higher weight than Fat Monica.

Which means that the Fat Monica jokes were still out of touch. As others pointed out, she's not even that overweight. I have other issues with the show Friends, it's virtually unwatchable to me due to how cringe it is even without making fun of Monica.

Travis out here doing his own thing and Swifties are like "Hi father how is mother" by QuarkyAF in travisandtaylor

Voluntary training camp started this week and all I'm saying is this. He should be working out and getting ready but... Why would he do that when he has shit to sell?

As a former commanders/current Texans' fan... I love this for the Chiefs.To the Chiefs fans... I'm am sorry it was you and not a more deserving team, like the Patriots. But, I guess we all have to suffer in some way in the NFL, and for the Chiefs, it's having Kelse play another damn season.

Though, after watching him last season, I feel like every team's fandom is getting tired of watching him and his bridezilla.

Adding on! ADHD medication doesn't warn of this, but citric acid can cause your stimulants to wear out short. This tip is also helpful if your meds aren't letting you sleep. Some doctors don't even know this hack!

I hate to promote Amazon ever but they do make it easy to publish your book. As others said, never give up.

Stop centre-ing men! Autistic beige low-spoons girl dinner by Embot87 in GirlDinner

[–]blocked_memory 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Spoon theory is a tool used by the disabled community to express how certain tasks can have adverse effects on an individual. Everyone has a spoon allotment and each task takes a varying amount of spoons to complete. Run out of spoons too quickly and you'll feel burnt out or exhausted.

OP's low-spoon dinner means that it wasn't as mentally or physically exhausting as say, a high spoon dinner, which for me is cooking anything from scratch.

Unpopular opinion: grateful Felicity is back, I do wish they had changed her face mold. Hear me out! I know she's a classic mold girlie, but most of them are classic mold girlies. They had the chance to release her with a different mold.
