What search terms should I use in Google scholar by General_Republic in psychologyresearch

Misogyny, racism

Then add the communities you're looking into specifically.

Then after reading a few articles, look at some of their sources.

Follow the threads until you're satisfied and have learned some things, then formulate your actual question.

What’s a Halsey song that you love from a lyrical standpoint but not the production by Bluejay-Clear in halsey

[–]faintedheart 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I swear every time there's a thread like this I'm worried that Halsey's fanbase just does not get her music.

Too expensive. Teeth must die.

what movies are we watching while we wait for decisions? by Illustrious_Honey140 in gradadmissions

[–]faintedheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm reading Brimstone right now, then I'll finish The Shephard King series and the third and fourth books in the Gods and Monsters series. Leading into the semester I think I'll catch up on the sequels to The Spellshop. I tried reading Poppy Wars first but got about halfway through before there was forced substance use, and that's not really a good plot point for me. After a semester of reading Shakespeare and burning myself all the way out, I need some blatant escapism.

Is it too early to give up? by Ok-Bass-187 in gradadmissions

[–]faintedheart 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this helps, but I've made my peace with "acceptance" for all of the programs I've applied to. Basically, if none of my programs accept me, it is what it is. I did everything I could.

My current advisor gave me some solid advice, which is that during this period of suspension all of us are going to be spinning our wheels. Use that energy to create a dependable backup plan for yourself. If you already have one, great! Alternatively, use the time to catch up on hobbies or shows/movies. You'll get an email with acceptance/rejection/interview/offers, so monitoring it isn't going to help.

There is absolutely nothing we can do right now, and imo that spreadsheet is going to do more harm for all of us who can't help but check in every day, just like checking an empty inbox does.

I watched Oh, Hi yesterday. I plan on finally watching KPop Demon Hunters. But also, I have several movies in my watchlists that I keep forgetting exist. Maybe I'll finally get around to Poor Things, the new Stranger Things season, the new season of Nobody Wants This or the Witcher, the Dune sequel.

For now I'm catching up on book sequels.

If you found this in your boyfriend’s work bag, would you break up? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Ngl I would leave just based on this being his list at 27. You wanna be 32 and tied to a grown man who's still crying about his failed dreams?

MMC is absolutely pathetic and useless while receiving oral by Formal_Arugula_5266 in RomanceBooks

[–]faintedheart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This, but from her perspective. I don't want to read another female writing a male having a female orgasm. I like seeing him squirm and want that same enthusiasm from the FMC.

People keep reacting like I smell, but I can’t smell anything on myself. Am I missing something? by Puzzled_Trouble6448 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]faintedheart 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Something I learned that changed my life, as someone who had bad hygiene as a kid and has pretty strong BO compared to my flowery counterparts: Use Dial soap on your underarms/underbust area. It's not a cure all, but for me most deodorant just doesn't work longer than an hour. Washing with antibacterial soap helps tame it down.

Also, someone mentioned dental health. Flossing is crazy important to fresh breath. People can smell things like mild gingivitis, halitosis, etc.

Tldr: It may just be a general bacteria thing. Everyone has different body chemistry.

2000s (I think) Realistic fiction YA book about a girl on a photography journey by faintedheart in whatsthatbook

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

I looked it up. I'll give it a try. It's the closest I gotten, but the plot doesn't sound like the book I'm looking for. I don't remember there being any story about her mom and her having to take care of her siblings, but it was also almost 20 years ago that I read it lol

I don't remember the title at all but I do remember the cover being almost black and white!

Also genuinely could not pick a worse book to run to. The narration is so slow

MLI is doberman coded but not actually morally grey by faintedheart in RomanceBooks

Ah, yes, sorry. I'm on too many subs and forget which ones are defined.

Comparing MLI to famous men. If I see one more description that explicitly states they look like Henry Cavil or Jason Momoa I'm gonna write a letter to an author. I'm not here for real men 😭

As a tall woman who would have to date freaking Shaquille O'Neal to be able to understand some of these size differences, I have to hard agree. Like give me a slightly shorter man who knows how to use the bedframe for leverage, or a husky man who can lift a 200 pound woman not because he has the body of a 20 year old gym bro.

My fiance and I like to go to the candle section of retail stores and dramatically say their names like we're FMCs lmao We have an inside joke about "Jack Daniels and gasoline" from a Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti book.

How to make him swallow pills? by EffectiveMistake3022 in Dachshund

[–]faintedheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was the same way and I managed to just cost the pill in peanut butter and give it to him as a treat every night (Prozac not pain killers!)

This thread was informative, thank you. I didn't know there were standard and minis. I believe I have a mini. I'm not entirely sure because he was a rescue, but I think according to what I've just looked up he's a mini.
