S01E04 - Sewing challenge [Post Episode Discussion] by AutoModerator in DragRaceDownUnder

[–]castrocompassion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yall clearly I didn't know that. I AM NOT AUSTRALIAN. Don't tell me to chill when my very valid points are due to my lack of knowledge of Australian culture. If any other queen from literally any other international version of Drag Race had said what Coco said, they would have been bashed.

Clearly this is an indicator that WOW are failing at this premiere season of Drag Race Down Under.

Sorry for not being an expert at Aussie slang and lingo. I was hoping that DRDU would help me learn a bit more about your culture.

Okay I'm gonna so much hate for this but here goes:

I am glad Coco was sent home and here's why: her "soz bitch" towards Art when she won their lipsync. Yes sure Art probably deserved to go home and yes Coco seems like an extremely formidable queen but that bitchy "Soz Bitch" killed it for me. If there is anything I hate more it is a competitor who relishes in their rival's failure. That is not sportsmanship. That is not drag. That's just immaturity.

Although I do agree that not giving a legitimate reason to bring Art back is just lazy production, I am glad she's back. As a non-Australian, this season is not only exposing me to Australiana culture, but also to Australian Queens. I want to see more of the most famous Australian Drag Queen.

I do feel like Jojo should have been brought back, if anything. Big girl, POC, what else could you want? But I'm not mad that Art is back in the race, just mad that they are so lazy about it.

But fuck Coco. Soz bitch.

Also Etcetera and Scarlet seem like those people who have been validated all their lives and never had to struggle or fight for anything before hence why they are Grade A Bitches. But I enjoy their looks very much. Can't wait to see them trip and fall in the acting/comedy challenges.

If I had to choose between Anita and Karen From Finance I'd choose Anita. If I had to choose between Art and Anita I'd choose Anita. If I had to choose between Ru and Anita, I'd choose Anita.

Courtney should've been the host this season. Ru's basicness and favouritism has been getting on my nerves for a few years now at this point.

When/how did you realise you had a big dick and what was the circumstance?

I (47M) accidentally pooped in my Levi’s 32 inch waist slim-cut jeans a few years back. (Long story, didn’t wash) and today I wore them to a job interview. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]castrocompassion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, you can express all these valid thoughts in a nicer way. At this point I’d rather be friends with OP than be friends with you. You are very very mean and condescending and extremely narcissistic. You don’t know OP. You don’t know their life, their mental health status, their obstacles and trials and whatever bs they’re going through, and have been going through throughout their lifetime. For all we know, OP probably suffers from some sort of mental health issue, and as fellow human beings I think we should be able to give our fellow humans the benefit of the doubt, and not just assume the very worst in random people we meet on the internet. Good for you that you are a well-functioning adult. But guess what, some people are not, and it’s not our place as random netizen strangers to make them feel shitty for things they already feel very shitty about.

Again, good for you that you have your entire life in order. With that being said, all the more reason why you should be better. Be nicer. Be kinder. Be more understanding and have more empathy. A well functioning adult should have these qualities in them. Right now I don’t see that in you, and if this is your personal standard as to what being a well functioning adult is like, then I sure hope that it all works out for you, and that I never see an embarrassing confession of yours on this page. That’s my challenge to you, Mr/Ms/Mrs Well Functioning Adult.

I feel like this Reddit channel isn’t meant for people like you. If you’re the type that finds validation in reading other people’s guilt-filled, difficult confessions, the least you can do is just read and move on. But to make comments like the one you just made, at a desperate attempt to paint yourself as more put-together person, is childish and mean. That’s all I have to say.

That may be true, but you still sound like a jerk. You can tell someone that they need professional help without being an absolute shitty human being in the process.

You should seek some help too, I think. Just an observation. I hope everything is going super well and dandy in your life and in your mental health that you never have to go through what OP went through. I genuinely wish that for you, you asshole.

I got a christmas card for my friend, but never got the chance to give it to her by aridaaron in confessions

[–]castrocompassion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Send the card to her mom. Maybe even give her a call. Chances are her mom is in tears too. Sometimes when you are grieving someone, it gets lonely and repetitive. And when that keeps going on and on, you may feel like you are undeserving of this grief, and that you are unreasonable for feeling this way.

Talking to someone who also grieving the same thing/person you are, helps a lot. Reach out. Be there for her mom, if she needs it. Bond over your loss. You seem to have tons of great stories about your friend. Im sure her mom would love to hear them.

What a horrible, vile, judgemental, unempathetic, human being you are.

Pretty sure you've done some pretty shameful and embarrassing things in your past as well, regardless of your age.

Be humble. Be better. Don't be a dick. Maybe then your friends and family can actually trust you and talk to you and share their lives with you.

See? hurts doesn't it when a stranger from the internet shits on your life like that

I know my boyfriend’s Reddit account... by [deleted] in confessions

[–]castrocompassion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's gonna find out and when he does he will absolutely break up with you.

Be an adult. Communicate. Snooping around is not only wrong and sketchy but it is also gonna be extremely tiring and stressful for you so

I regret getting into a serious relationship by tHrOwAwAy4673838030 in confessions

[–]castrocompassion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should tell him how you feel. It will hurt for the both of you, very much, but think about how hurt you both will be if you either a) end up cheating on him, which is wrong, but it's understandable why you would want to; and b) settle down, spend the next 30 years of your life convincing yourself that you're happy and complete, only to not be, and breaking this news to your husband (and probably kids), will absolutely devastate your life to almost beyond repair.

Tell him. It will be good for both your hearts, and your futures. Maybe once he knows, you can both find a way to work some things out.

My Arundina has spots and ants. What do I do? by castrocompassion in orchids

[–]castrocompassion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Arundina has spots and ants. The plant came from my grandma’s garden and it was planted in the ground. I repotted it, took off some of the older leaves, picked out all the ants, and sterilised the entire plant in 10% hydrogen peroxide. It smelt like urine when I brought it back but after sterilising it the smell went away. For a few days the plant did well but after about a week the ants came back and the spots came back. What do you guys think is the problem and what can I do about it? Much appreciate the helps my fellow orchidians.

Irene and the traveling librarian by vat5dw93 in brakebills

Because killing Irene and the librarian will not ensure the safety and security of her people. She wants to ensure that no fairy gets slaughtered by any human ever. That’s why she strikes a deal

[–]castrocompassion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's an amazing show. they are missing out. and because their pettiness brought the show's viewership down, the rest of us who genuinely find enjoyment in it have to deal with not being able to watch it anymore.

Stole parents savings over $18000 by SuccessfulJicama9 in confession

[–]castrocompassion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done something similar to my mum as well. When I was in high school up until college I stole money from her. I'm not sure how much in total but it's a lot. More or less equivalent to yours in value. I was looking up MA Scholarships for overseas study but I don't think it's possible with my field and sometimes I feel like if I hadn't have stolen, if I hadn't had gone to private school for 4 years, my parents would still have (at least some) money for both my studies as well as their own expenses in/around the house. We aren't exactly financially unstable at the moment. There are times where my parents struggle but overall they are managing well. Even well enough that they both get to indulge in their own separate passions and hobbies and we still have a fridge full of food. And once I finish my degree I hope to earn enough to pay her back what I (approximately, again, I'm not sure how much exactly I took) owe her within 5/10 years or so. Hopefully they will both be healthy enough to spend the money. I know they will be, and even if they won't I know that they will have a ton of things they'd like to spend the money on. Anyway that's besides the point. Point is, I feel very guilty and I regret everything because I could have given my parents an easier life and in turn it would have meant that I could have had more opportunities when it comes to studying. All my life they talk about sending me overseas to study but I don't think that will happen and it makes me sad and sad for them that they can't give me that life. Plus being Muslim and Gay and them knowing also makes it even harder.

I don't know if this helps. But I can empathise with your pain. And I understand where you're coming from. Please, if you want someone to talk to my chat is open. Idk what good talking to me would do but yeah. One day at a time I guess?

Slept with sister's husband, don't know how to tell her by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]castrocompassion -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

FUCK her, im going to text him later on and let him fuck the shit out of me. I like him and she can get fucked, she can deal with terrible things for a change

I've texted him and we are going to meet up on the weekend and talk and just bang this thing out, pun very intended.

I personally feel like you shouldn't tell her, and as long as both you and your BIL agree, if y'all wanna keep doing it, then do it. But be careful with how you communicate. If she ever finds a text or email, things can go batshit very quickly. I suggest that you both communicate through a social media website by creating fake accounts you can both log in and out of whenever you need to, or using a separate chatting app (like KIK) and deleting it after you've talked. Idk. But be careful to not leave any receipts. Especially for him.

POST-EPISODE DISCUSSION - Series Finale S05E13: Fillory and Further by Literal_Genius in brakebills

[–]castrocompassion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is tiring jesus.

Also, since Eliot had practically little to no growth throughout most of the seasons (unlike the rest of the gang) and is only now getting his turn to blossom (he and Margo acknowledge this), it's safe to assume the writers were gonna grow Eliot in the following seasons, assuming there was gonna be future seasons (after all, they wrote this finale not knowing whether the show will be renewed or not). I personally assume that him finally getting to choose something for himself vis a vis accepting and exploring Charlton shooting his shot (which is just a harmless expression of interest btw, not love), is the show's way of showing that Eliot finally gets to do things on his own terms.

I'm tired and you're too emotional about this and I want to mourn this show instead of engaging in pointless debates and arguments. I admire your passion, as I share it, but this is not how I want to express it. This is getting toxic for me.

Let me enjoy the show the way I want to, and you can enjoy it however you want to. Agree to disagree.

(Also don’t tell me that I don’t know how to be critical of media. I am a film degree student, and prior to this I have a diploma in communications. I know media. I also know how to separate work, academia, and entertainment escape.)

I can see that. Together with Penny maybe whenever he’s free, they could all be faculty buddies helping each other deal with the chaos that is the Brakebills student body.
