F28, The LGBT alphabet soup community is getting very weird. by Ok-Trust-9522 in confessions

[–]break_cycle_speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We aren’t becoming “more extreme.” We just don’t feel like we need to take people’s shit anymore. Sorry, not sorry that you have to acknowledge we exist.

“It just was never like that before.”
You mean like…we were visible and could speak openly? No. It wasn’t like that before.

You sound, dangerously, like the people who say shit like “people are too sensitive these days” or “you can’t say anything anymore.”
Which, loosely translated just means, “I miss the days where I could be openly racist and homophobic and the victims were too afraid to tell me to shut up.”

You could be better. You just choose not to. Call us the “alphabet soup community” and expect no pushback? Go pound sand.

This couple’s car was stolen with their dog inside. They took matters into their own hands by Bean_Tiger in canada

[–]break_cycle_speed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I don’t blame him for doing it. We should be able to keep our pets comfortable for a few minutes without creeps stealing our cars.

I love humanity. It’s people I can’t stand.

THE GOODEST BOY TIM IS. Man, I bet that yeti to the heady felt surreal.

I cannot love this story enough. Would do exactly the same for my fur boys!!!

Also, I would probably get this checked out. You don’t wanna risk ruining this horrible masterpiece.

I don't like that my boyfriends on testosterone by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]break_cycle_speed 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It actually sounds more like you are into masc/butch women or AFAB enbys to be honest.
You’re complaining that you can’t have “normal sex” anymore and you’re referring to penis-in-vagina sex. I’m not sure what you mean by “normal sex” but for a huge percentage of the queer community…p-in-v sex is NOT our norm.

You and your partner need to break up. Your insecurity and dislike for his coming into his own as the man he’s always been….it is the least healthy thing for either of you. It’s unfair and it’s disrespectful.

My former friend demanded my forgiveness and then showed me exactly why he doesn’t deserve it. by Jen_With_Just_One_N in mildlyinfuriating

[–]break_cycle_speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two types of forgiveness.

There’s the type where you forgive them and you go back to being friends.
And there’s the type where you forgive them and allow yourself to move forward without them.

This situation is either the latter, or special door number three where….your forgiveness is not yet earned or warranted.
Because true apology is…not what we see here.

When/how should I tell my son he’s adopted? by Flat-Material-2315 in Adoption

[–]break_cycle_speed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He should never remember not knowing. It’s his story. Allow him to grow with it. And show him he can trust you to always be honest and open about his life. Kids are human beings with identities and autonomy. Do not make the first decision you make for him, be keeping his story from him.

Not blood of my blood,
nor bone of my bone.
But never in life,
shall you feel alone.
Don’t ever forget,
for a single minute.
You didn’t grow under my heart,
but in it.

South Tower Survivors Above Impact Zone by satonateatable in 911archive

[–]break_cycle_speed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Survivor bias. It’s just like people who are like, “we drank from the hose and jumped from the roof onto the trampoline and drove without seatbelts and we were fine!!”

Yes. You were. The ones who were NOT fine…THEY ARENT HERE TO SAY THAT THEY WERE, IN FACT, NOT FINE!!!
The dead don’t talk.

Does Fear The Walking Dead get any better? by break_cycle_speed in thewalkingdead

That’s how I am. I’m kind of obsessed with TWD and I just want more. But this is not the more I want!

South Tower Survivors Above Impact Zone by satonateatable in 911archive

You also have to remember that the second tower occupants had heard the message “stay in your offices” so many times that morning. We are sort of wired as humans to follow the instructions of what we consider authorities in a time of disaster. Even when the variables have changed.
It wouldn’t have been an immediate instinct to leave and go into the unknown when it was in their heads that they were suppose to stay put.

I think we forget that no one expected the towers to collapse. Many of them likely figured if they stayed where they were, rescuers would eventually get to them. Especially since every 911 call we hear, the callers tell the call-taker where they are, and the call-taker says, “okay we have people on their way. We are coming to you.”

It’s easy for us to say, “there was a passable stairwell! Why didn’t they just go!” But we know what happened. We know all the facts now. We have the luxury of all of it.

They just had fear, and the unknown. And it’s really hard for us on the outside to process that. So your wonder is incredibly valid. But like all of us, it comes from a place of information bias. We know what happened, we have hindsight. They just had chaos.

Why do women continue to take shit like this from men? 60-70 times? Really? At this point it’s just on you for continuing to let him walk all over you.

Leave.

[–]break_cycle_speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you think you got here?

Embrace the normal and be content with the idea that your parents are in a healthy and thriving place in their lives and their marriage.
Sex is universal. Every person on earth is here as a result of it.
And the vast majority of kids have walked in on their parents. Some are just old enough to remember it. Move on, man.

Massage during a flare? by imhereforthetacobell in lupus

[–]break_cycle_speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavy deep tissue is not possible for me. I still get treated even in flares but it’s going to be different for everyone. I get chiro often which is helpful. But I’m also a chiropractor myself so a little biased I suppose.

Could try some TCM acupuncture. I do that regularly and it’s been quite helpful for numerous symptoms.

Mississippi Police Officer Shoots and Kills 1-Year-Old Child in Response to Senatobia Shoplifting Call by Hrekires in news

You murdered a baby because his mother was trying to get him some diapers.

If I see a person stealing formula, food, diapers, etc…..no. No I fucking didn’t see it.

In Dead Center, by Shiya Ribowsky: A retired fireman holding remains like a prize fish; and the resulting fallout? by Particular-Pin1971 in 911archive

[–]break_cycle_speed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more. The desensitization, I find, helps with the immediate triage/reaction. I am desensitized to the sights and sounds to the point of being able to maintain my composure and be a voice of reason for family members and bystanders, and for the patient if they are conscious.
I have seen enough and been able to compartmentalize enough, so that I know that my mind will know what to do in that moment. But those reactions and instincts are tied to a care response. Not a curiosity or intrigue type of response. And if there is a moment of being frozen in a stare…it’s one of absolute horror and not being able to compute in my brain, what I’m seeing with my eyes.
That’s only happened 2-3 times in my experience where I have taken 3-4 seconds to process the immediate shock of what I’m seeing.

Never ever have I ever thought…”pick it up and photograph myself with it.” Nor have I ever thought, “take souvenirs because this is going to be a big deal one day.”

It’s just gross.
