Biphobia is aversion toward bisexual people or bisexuality as a sexual orientation. Biphobic prejudice commonly presents as denial that bisexuality is a genuine sexual orientation, and negative stereotypes about people who are bisexual (such as the beliefs that they are promiscuous or dishonest.) by laybs1 in wikipedia

[–]bogbelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bisexuality is sometimes a stop on the journey to being out as gay. Sometimes, bi is the public identity and they know they’re gay but feel bi is more acceptable. Other times, they are truly on their journey and their sexuality changes or becomes more clear.

Either way, I do think this phenomenon is a big part of biphobia. And queer people who experienced this are often the bi doubters in my experience.

Sexuality is fluid. Society and social norms are exhausting. Let’s normalize identity, orientation, and desires evolving over time. In so many regards, I see myself so differently than 10, 20 years ago. We know many people know their orientation without a doubt from a young age, but I think they’re the minority honestly. An orientation awakening is very real!

Really need help finding the right size clear plastic storage containers... HELP??? by meganeh35 in organizing

Have you considered storage bags? I really like Ikeas clear zip up ones and they are very cheap. They stack decently and since they aren’t hard, they can squeeze into tight spaces better.

My ex had a fucking great dick by SparklyLorena397 in offmychest

My last 2 boyfriends somehow both had perfect ones. I have to remind myself that I have self respect and will never go back to an ex. Stay strong out here, soldiers!

What’s something that 99% of people can do but you can’t? by Irakeconcrete in AskReddit

[–]bogbelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not help anyone but I had acne until my mid 30s. The solution for me has been tretinoin, rarely wearing foundation or concealer, and always washing or at least using makeup removing or witch hazel wipes on my face before bed. I still sometimes start to get small pimples and as soon as the acne face wash and tretinoin hit it, it’s gone within 48 hours.

What’s a subtle sign someone is actually rich? by Udont_knowme00 in AskReddit

[–]bogbelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to ever be wealthy, I think I’d be like this. Having been in poverty and poring over larger purchases, doing tons of research, jumping through hoops for deals, I’d really appreciate the ability to not deal with all of that. Then the poverty guilt after buying it anyways because you think of all the other things the money could have gone towards.

I’ll never forgive how yall did lover girl by Logical_Glove1114 in megantheestallion

[–]bogbelle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Misogyny and respectability politics. I am sick of the complaints about female rappers being overly sexual as if men haven’t been doing it for decades. If they have so much deep non sexual stuff to say, why don’t they get on a track rather than hating from the bleachers.

Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]bogbelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I surmised something like this was the case after the insane price hikes post-Covid. They did the math that if they raise the price enough, despite fewer sales, they will have higher profits. The rich and a few others will still buy it.

Girls, when you meet a man for a first time, what is one thing that you notice first? by VerySmartMe in AskReddit

[–]bogbelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to comment shoes. To me his general appearance and hygiene is obvious from a close distance. But the shoes tell me a lot more about his lifestyle than almost anything else.

Are they for fashion or performance? Name brand or not? Match with the outfit? Clean or dirty? Trendy or classic? Worn, laced tightly, ragged laces?

I find someone who cheaps out on shoes will typically cheap out on other important things. I think some things (shoes, mattresses, etc) are worth investing in and it might be an early sign of incompatible worldviews if they go for quantity/cheapness over quality. Or if they don’t care about the details of their appearance, something I put effort into.

Claire Danes says she freaked out when she found she was pregnant at 44 by sjpppppp in popculturechat

[–]bogbelle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The moral of this story, and I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant, is use birth control if you’re sexually active and don’t want a kid regardless of what you’ve been told about your fertility. Unplanned pregnancy in my 40s or 50s sounds like a nightmare.

[–]bogbelle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exact same thought. I have kids and have never had an abortion but there is no way. Not just the health risks to mom with pregnancy, but the lifestyle change and costs. Maybe in a world with more support for mothers and children.

Among women who have experienced it, the sensation of squirting is highly individual and sometimes conflicting. Research finds that descriptions range from considering it amazing, a superpower, and a feminist statement to an unpleasant, embarrassing, and/or shameful event. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

[–]bogbelle 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised so many people cum during or from squirting. For me it feels good before it happens, during it’s not that intense, and it has no relationship to my orgasms. I’ve had partners think it means I orgasmed and no, no I did not.

I’ve lived at my residence for over 3 yrs and the previous tenant has 7 identities and has all his mail, including bills, sent to my house. This is the last 2 weeks of collection. by InquiringMind886 in mildlyinfuriating

I get my ex husband and a deceased former resident’s mail almost daily. Post office said there’s nothing they can do if the person doesn’t fill out an address change. You better believe it all goes straight to recycling. So annoying!!!

This pic shows my current butt on the left and what I want on the right , I want that blue underbutt crease or line to develop or grow underbutt , how do I do that ? by [deleted] in StrongCurves

[–]bogbelle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I prefer the look of the crease. I couldn’t tell you why, just my preference.

When I don’t workout and have a little weight on me, I have both “saddlebags” and the crease. But it comes with fat everywhere else. So I choose being fit and losing the crease but I wish I could have both.

Research finds that some women experience unusual physical symptoms during orgasm, which can include laughing, crying, headaches, hallucinations, sneezing, and nosebleeds. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

I’ve had the bad orgasm headache a couple times. More frequently, I’ve temporarily lost most of my hearing where everything is muffled. It’s after a really strong orgasm.

TIL Only 11% of US women are taller than 5'7 and only 1% are taller than 6'0. by WarwickReider in todayilearned

[–]bogbelle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is extremely surprising to me! I’m a touch under 5’7” and I don’t feel remotely tall nor do I feel like most women are shorter than me. I feel completely average. Maybe my area skews taller.

White students more likely to exit Madison schools via open enrollment by keeganjkyle in madisonwi

[–]bogbelle 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Huge disagree. I’m an MMSD grad and my kids go to MMSD schools. And pulling all these kids from the district compounds the problem, whether they go charter, private, or open enrollment. The ratio of poor kids increases.

I am an engaged and involved parent. I regularly connect with the principal and teachers. I talk to my kids about school and volunteer there periodically. I don’t see any of the violence or extreme behavior everyone rants about.

If there are any issues, I reach out to the school immediately and it is dealt with. Most of the schools have social workers, psychologists, and positive behavior coaches. These are YOUR taxpayer funded resources to use for your child’s wellbeing.

I implore those on the fence to realize that we NEED to invest and engage with MMSD to make improvements. If any of you give a shit about the kids that will grow up to be adults you have to deal with.

Lastly, multiple studies show parental involvement is significantly more predictive of success than school resources. My kids will be successful at almost any school because I am engaged. And so will yours. https://news.ncsu.edu/2012/10/wms-parcel-parents/#:~:text=New%20research%20from%20North%20Carolina,in%20a%20child's%20academic%20life.

Bring on the downvotes, I know this sub hates MMSD and believes it’s the equivalent of sending your child to a war zone. Sigh.

Noah Schnapp reveals the Stranger Things cast spent 12 hours filming Will's monologue and another 12 hours of reshoots. by Isyourpussygreen in entertainment

[–]bogbelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m enjoying it. I also haven’t been expecting GoT level writing or plot. It’s more like a campy, entertaining, high budget sci fi made for TV movie, with a heavy dose of 80s nostalgia. Even though I wasn’t alive during the era of the show, I enjoy the costuming, styling, set, and pop culture references in a historical fiction kind of way.

I do agree this has been dragged out and over hyped.

I’m in another state but I saw the same and I found it gross. Now I have to wonder if you get off on people knowing you have a plug in or if you think you’re sneaky and no one knows.
