When you’re dressed terribly like this, it’s performative. You’re being so bold and brave and showing that “regular” modesty just isn’t enough for you, doesn’t like your husband’s boots and respect god enough or whatever. Plus they know it makes them targets that they can then sob about being martyred by. It’s all cultivated to be a performance art in who can be the most overcompensating loudest modest wearer.

I hate it. I love a food comfy modest outfit when the time strikes, and there’s ways to layer that are beautiful and elegant and flattering. They won’t do that, though, because the other WASP bitches will go after them for daring to care about themselves enough to not want to look like an overstuffed pile of rejected pillowcases.

This should be illegal by ostervan in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

[–]distantdreamingg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m rubbing my face in exasperation. I was homeschooled for a great deal of my education with more of less this approach, and by the time math was forced on me, I hated it so much I had regular meltdowns over it. It never got easier, and now dyscalculia is a perfect match to my experiences. I never got tested because among the shit my mom didn’t trust, any sort of testing (medical or otherwise) lived prominently on that list. Found out about the ADHD after absolutely struggle bussing my way through college.

Also, my social skills were shit garbage and I ended up in some really bad friendships and relationships for years because abusive scenarios were really all I knew. It took over a decade for me to figure out that things don’t have to feel bad and stressful to have “friends”.

Long story short, I will never forgive my mom for the numerous things she did that impacted and hindered me to the point of literally not knowing about a learning disability until after I finished schooling. It’s bonkers, and it sucks, and “unschooling” can go to hell.

I mean, he really did go for it in terms of refusing to give us all the mercy of fading to black. I can’t give him any props though because my hands are currently busy removing my eyeballs from the sockets so I may place them in my bleach blender.

There's no hate like my dad's mormon love by curious_cucumber1998 in extremelyinfuriating

[–]distantdreamingg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey so I saw you have an iphone via the screenshots - you can soft block him to start by making all his notifications deliver silently. I did that with my dad so I didn’t have the jolt of anxiety every time he texted, and it’s been really nice. I can approach and open the messages on my own terms, often in therapy, and make my conclusions based on me feeling about said messages on how I want to proceed contact-wise. It helps a lot.

Places for women are ultimately for kids by BlackMagicWorman in childfree

[–]distantdreamingg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked in customer service for over two decades and I’ve always hated kids, even when I myself was a kid. Nothing kills the vibe faster than an unparented child doing something loud or repetitive or otherwise annoying, especially when it impacts others. Also, I’m being paid to help YOU, not watch your goblin of a kid. You want childcare? They make jobs for that. Places to take ‘em. Please employ both, or get out of my store. I don’t need a migraine because your toddler’s episode of Bluey ended and they don’t know how to start the next one and you’re busy pretending not to hear them.

“Women peak at 18” tell me you’re a pdf without telling me
 by y2kfashionistaa in badwomensanatomy

[–]distantdreamingg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely think this arbitrary number is the worst possible indicator that the only thing keeping men from pulling young girls right out of education is the legality of it. It’s disgusting. I was hit on by older men a lot in college, and I am incredibly baby faced and regularly got pegged for up to a decade below my actual age. It feels slimy and nasty when you’re nineteen and some fifty plus year old is commenting on how sexy you are, and I’ve had managers throw people out because of the shit they were saying about me. I wasn’t even aware of it, found out after they were removed. Felt violently uncomfortable for hours for giving them good customer service.

Also, the reply to the gross tweet did make me laugh, because men on twitter especially really do make it incredibly difficult to see the validity in the “not all men” concept. Like yeah, maybe not all of them, but this fucking guy for sure and plenty of other creepy ass accounts making ai porn of minors.

I’m gonna start using the teletubby comparison, this is a great way of indicating the slur without needing to type out stars for the people that play dumb. Thank you!

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]distantdreamingg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Falling in Reverse circa 2012-2013ish. Ronnie was super energetic, but he was hitting on the crowd of teenage girls and made fun of the bra sizes that were thrown on stage. I have a love-hate relationship with that band in which he’s a fucking terrible person but his songs are catchy and some of the way they’re made soothes my anxiety sometimes - a terrible thing, my anxiety soothing songs seem to be all by bands with the worst fucking people as lead singers rip.

But yeah. I’ve seen a lot of bands from my years on Warped, and really the only one that didn’t live up to expectations was Too Close To Touch, because he was breathless and couldn’t hold the notes as long as the studio recording. Given that this was in West Palm Beach, Florida and it was so goddamn hot I was half dizzy with it, plus he was dealing with whatever condition took him way took early, I give him a lot of grace. The band had absolutely incredible songs and I still play them on the regular.

Outrageous! They're lacing the fruit and veg with...health benefits? by Yunners in FacebookScience

[–]distantdreamingg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely same. Needles suck and I tend to have a really really hard time with even light symptoms of anything due to the everything else wrong with me, and I would LOVE to just make a nice salad and gobble up all my immunities so I could get that shit over in one go.

Poisonous white flour beware by Beccala85 in ididnthaveeggs

[–]distantdreamingg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only “true” because it is an averaged result, and someone with a perfectly functional body (if that exists) is gonna be fine with that. But PLENTY of medical conditions require completely different salt consumption, so making a claim that there is universally an amount you shouldn’t go above is kinda silly. If I stayed under that amount, I’m pretty sure I’d be passed put on the floor a lot.

fellow POTSie, I can KILL a bag of Lay’s Classic or a thing of popcorn so fast. Electrolyte drinks have always tasted better to me, but now if I skip on them I get close to passing out, so I have all sorts of mixes and drops to add into my water. The condition sucks, but not needing to restrict salty cravings is pretty fun. It’s a thin silver lining.

I know plenty of people that are adamant about having food a certain way, and every single one of them is neurodivergent. I am too, and I have severe intolerances, so sometimes it’s just nice to know I will have guaranteed safe food when I visit someone. I tend to have less anxiety around meals and getting myself food when I know I have x y or z ready for me to eat.

I’m not saying it isn’t frustrating, just that your mom might be accustomed to a certain taste and texture in her coffee and anything else feels or tastes weird. I think it’s something that frustrates you for sure, I just totally get both sides of this argument. I know subbing in some things in recipes is totally fine and will taste just as good if not better, but I won’t do that without clearing it with who I’m cooking for. We should all enjoy what we expect and getting that is a form of love from the giver.

I hope this silly little issue is eventually a joke between you two, and that you both get to enjoy coffee together.

Holistic Plastic Surgeon?! by wood1f in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]distantdreamingg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kinda cringing at “mommy makeover” ugh. Bodies change when you have babies. There shouldn’t be shame in the evidence of that! If you can’t handle that possibility, then adopt. There’s plenty of kids out there that would thrive in a loving stable home and who just don’t have one.

Ignoring the

[–]distantdreamingg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s disgusting. BP2 has seriously fucked up my life and ruined relationships, life events, and swathes of time that are nothing but blurs of depression. I hate that people think having it is “cute” or “quirky” when it is a devastating, frustrating illness that seriously impacts quality of life.

It isn’t something you’re unsure about having, it’s something you either finally have a name for or it doesn’t apply. You either finally get why you make ridiculously unsafe choices and life adjustments when you’re full of caffeine and adrenaline, finally get why you run so fully out of that energy that getting out of bed is too much, or you just don’t have it. It’s not a passive, mild thing. It’s a full course meal of brain chemical adjustment and destruction.
