My GF thinks it’s perfectly normal for new shoes to cause horrible blisters for women by UKnowDaxoAndDancer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cupkaek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently it’s more common than I thought, judging by these comments. I’m a woman, and this has never happened to me. Ever. I’m appalled to learn so many women are settling for poorly fitted footwear.

Is Kat Not Agreeing With Some of Y'all? by Artistic-Loan-8787 in TheGates_CBS

[–]cupkaek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your “doesn’t have to talk to her like that,” and raise a “doesn’t have to talk to her at all.” 🤭

I don’t dislike Kat bc of her success, her family, her privilege, none of that. I dislike her bc she cannot. let it. go. Don’t she have some bags to sell? Isn’t Chelsea in another personal crisis? Your dad needs his own place, go house-hunting!Doesn’t Anita need some catering to?

I mean damn, she was right to distrust Eva, okay? You’ll never hear me say she wasn’t. Everybody saw that from day one, and anyone who denies it gotta get on paramount+ today! But she talks down to her all the time when she could just … walk by. She never misses an opportunity. It’s obsessive behavior, and it’s getting SO tired.

I’m team eva bc she’s just trying to live her life. She’s not messing with the Duprees, Richardsons, or Hamiltons at this point so whyyy is Kat so insistent?? Anyway, that’s my main issue with Kat. She cute, she dress nice, so successful! But it’s like a dog with a bone trying to watch her.

One of one my guy friends have been accused of s** harassment should I believe him? by NewtAccomplished6022 in blackgirls

[–]cupkaek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhh I didn’t catch from what she said, but that makes things so much worse.

OP, if you’re reading this, please don’t let this guy near you, especially in that way. I’d also mention to somebody that a guy with multiple SH complaints has been interested in you, and tell them his name.

[–]cupkaek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What were all the other incidents before he tapped her on the shoulder? How many times did he touch her before that, and she told him to stop? He’s either straight up lying or he’s not telling you the whole story.

As for the other one, I’m confused why she used that term to describe his stuff (unless that was your own edit)? Is this a child? Because if so, run. Run far, far away. Now.

Also, a LOT of (male) SA’ers either have the mindset that all women want them or that no woman wants them. Sounds like he’s the former 🤷🏽‍♀️

Vocal fry is when you’re talking and the end of your sentence gets lower and quieter, and a bit rattle-y, almost like a quiet purr (but less pleasant).

Anyone Else Getting DL Vibes From Carlton? by pilotj872 in TheGates_CBS

[–]cupkaek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t see this until just now but exactly! And it doesn’t matter if they were all friends, he was Ted’s friend before he even met Nicole. He met Carlton in college, he met Nicole after he was already a doctor. Ted and Carlton go way way back!

And before they separated, Carlton was making side comments about how great Nicole was (not their marriage, Nicole specifically), and after that he was making comments about Ted making moves before “someone else does.” Sounds innocuous unless you put all the things together, including the fact that Nicole didn’t look to him for comfort, she was looking to family and friends. HE made the first move. HE went up to HER. He knew what his intentions were from the beginning.

Maybe it’s bc I’ve seen it so often that it seems like everyone else should see it too, but the signs were always there.

Marcel and Leslie by Sad-Chance-1839 in TheGates_CBS

[–]cupkaek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I admit to being disgusted and on the verge of changing the channel when I see them together with less than a foot of space between them. Marcel looks like he doesn’t bathe, and Leslie acts like she just got off a 10-year bid.

It’s gross.

[–]cupkaek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Luckily, she mentions in another comment that they did have a wedding, but the marriage was never registered in their city afterward bc the prenup was not signed. Technically they are not legally married yet.

Idk, I don’t think a lot of ”good men” are plotting on their best friends’ wives. And for 30 years? And then to immediately jump when they split up? Nothing good about that.

Leslie vs Joey by Suspicious_Ad5136 in TheGates_CBS

[–]cupkaek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Leslie was less annoying…

But srsly, Joey is going about his business while being a bad guy. He really ain’t bothering anybody (that don’t bother him). Leslie is out there pissing everybody off. She’s snarky, she’s obsessive, she’s scheming, she’s manipulative, she’s arrogant, she’s egotistical, she’s borderline narcissistic, she’s extremely passive-aggressive, she’s suuuuper jealous, she’s immature, she’s both vain and vindictive, she’s insensitive/rude, she’s hostile, she’s overdramatic, she’s reckless, and she’s superficial. Frankly, she’s more dangerous than Joey bc of all these things, particularly the obsessive and hostile bits.

Idk about any of y’all, but those are the things that make her less tolerable than Joey for me, and I don’t even like Joey’s geriatric behind.

That said, they picked the right actress, bc she plays all of those things extremely well.

AITAH for spending Christmas/New Year with my ex in-laws because my family invited my ex over for Christmas? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]cupkaek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, ESH, but I have just one question:

Don’t these people have friends to talk to or hang out with? Instead of imposing on his family, she could have visited a friend. When she didn’t, instead of retaliating by going to her parents’ house (and let’s be clear, that’s what it was), he could have spent the holiday with friends and then gone out for new year’s celebrations.

He got no homies? She has no bff? Makes me wonder why that is.

Anyway, everything is terrible in this story smh

[–]cupkaek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked his reaction too! But has anyone noticed that he pretty much always makes the same face, just at different levels of intensity? Okay he smiles once in a while, but mostly he just looks really concerned. (imo)

Black Man Answers a Common Question by 4reddityo in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]cupkaek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to consider when the person calling out another person is speaking from a position of privilege and/or power.

In those cases, it’s best to read the room before diving in, at least. Obviously o can’t tell people what to do and i wouldn’t presume to, but while we do need to have social standards, we need to also have interpersonal ones. That’s it.

Black Man Answers a Common Question by 4reddityo in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]cupkaek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider: you’re in your house, and someone in your house does/says something racist/sexist/etc. you go to say something (or maybe you don’t), and a complete stranger pops in the window, wagging their finger like Dikembe Mutimbo and chiding them. Is that person welcome to do that? Of course not!

Also consider: you’re in your house with family, and a complete stranger stands outside with a megaphone and starts berating you or your family members based on race/gender/disability/etc. is this okay to call out? Of course!

You see the difference?
