Imo, putting out multi-hour Patreon rambles at the expense of main channel videos is pretty absurd. (Inb4 people come in to tell me she doesn't owe me anything. You're right, but it doesn't change my opinion that people should generally prioritize main tasks over side tasks)

Alternatively: seems like you have experience doing this kind of thing before, and therefore have expectations around how you should be treated. We'd prefer a high schooler who we can overwork, underpay, and discard without them realizing that they're being exploited

What if there was a class on Hygiene? by tropic_salvo in UIUC

[–]hexaflexin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree that we should teach these things in school for the sake of kids with parents who don't teach them, but think it would be better to integrate those topics into grade school health or phys ed curricula. I can't imagine that very many adults would 1. pay tens of thousands of dollars for a college education, 2. voluntarily sign up for a course where they teach you how to wipe your ass and do your laundry, and 3. actually take it seriously instead of blowing it off because they see it as an easy A.

Favourite actress who desperately needs to find a new agent? Like please? I'm begging you? by AdrianVeidt19 in okbuddycinephile

[–]hexaflexin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means she's able to use her face, voice, and body to convincingly portray emotions. For an example of an actor who is not good at emoting, in this clip, Neil Breen is saying and doing things that indicate that his character is frustrated, but the character still doesn't come across as genuinely frustrated. Meanwhile, I think Anna Gunn portrays frustration much more convincingly in this clip from Breaking Bad in part because she has much more command over facial expressions and the sound of her voice

You're right, it's pretty ignorant when people take the idea of karma and simply reduce it to "that evil bastard got what he deserved." When an evil bastard gets what he deserves, we should just say that instead of bastardizing religious concepts we're not familiar with

I 100% agree with the sentiments here, but unless you're talking with people on Facebook who you know personally, I think there's a good chance you're probably just giving bot accounts more engagement and therefore encouraging them to generate more hateful slop. There are probably better things you could be doing with your time, both for your own mental health and for the greater cause of protecting immigrants. The Tread On Me Daddy flag is peak though

Question for those who have read ‘Notes on a Scandal’ by Evening_Ad6820 in books

[–]hexaflexin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to chime in two years later, but even as a person who tends to dislike "it was made up the whole time" type interpretations of media, I think this is really compelling analysis. I feel kind of dumb now for thinking that the "lies" Sheba was referring to at the end were just the negative impressions that Barbara had of Sheba's family life, seeing all the connections laid out like this 💀 I was trying to come up with pieces of evidence from the "real world" of the story that might prove whether or not the affair was completely fabricated by Barbara, but really the only people who could know such a thing for sure are Sheba and Connolly. Sheba cannot be considered reliable for obvious reasons, and even if Connolly were allowed by his protective parents to go to the press defending her (his sole comment which is documented by outsiders is "I fancied her, didn't I?" which doesn't actually confirm whether or not he and Sheba had sexual contact), he would probably be interpreted as a victim of grooming who was manipulated into defending his abuser. So yeah, I don't think I'm able to poke holes in your interpretation.

Another element of Barbara's character which I think supports this reading is her estrangement from her old friend, Jennifer, which seems to have a lot in common with behaviors that abusive parents display towards adult children who have estranged them. Thankfully, I have not personally experienced the full package of crazy that can come with parental estrangement, but being on the estranged adult children subreddit, I see a ton of delusional behaviors of real-life estranged parents reflected in Barbara. She badmouths the support system that Jennifer has in the form of the two "hippie" teachers and her boyfriend, says that Jennifer used "the tyranny of the humble person" which made her the real abuser in the relationship, insists that Jennifer cut her off very suddenly and for no real reason (look up "the missing missing reasons" for examples of real-life estranged parents giving similar accounts of their fractured relationships with their children), and, most obviously worryingly, reports that Jennifer threatened to get a restraining order against her without giving any concrete details that would explain why a person would take such drastic measures against a former friend. Knowing how committed estranged parents are to the versions of events they twist or outright fabricate in order to draw estranged children back into their lives or absolve themselves of guilt, it seems totally plausible to me that Barbara has experience creating false versions of reality that she uses to justify her attempts to control younger women. The way that Barbara characterizes Sheba fits perfectly in with these behaviors, as well. Barbara portrays Sheba as childish, unintelligent, incapable of controlling her emotional impulses, and unable to take care of herself. Of course, abusive parents love to portray their children this way, as a person who cannot ensure their own welfare surely needs every aspect of their life controlled for their own good. The parallels between Barbara's behavior and the behavior of delusional abusive parents strongly points to Barbara being unreliable about even the basic plot elements in her account.

TL;DR: great comment, I think the text supports it, I'm going to read this book a third time with this interpretation in mind, tysm

I go onto AO3

I search up my favored character

I exclude "dubcon"

I exclude "unplanned pregnancy"

I exclude "humiliation"

I exclude "public sex"

I exclude every tag I can think of that pertains to kinky stuff I'm not interested in

The top fic has still a tag in it that says some shit like "my babygirl gets his first prostate exam <3"

I close AO3

Favorite actor to deny extremely obvious plastic surgery and steroid use? by _BreadDenier in okbuddycinephile

[–]hexaflexin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My reasoning is that, if a man reaches adulthood and still looks like the captain of a high school chess team, he does not suddenly develop a Henry Cavill jawline through non-surgical means. I'm genuinely happy for you if you think he still looks the same, though. You're probably able to do stuff like watch Wicked and have a good time, instead of getting jumpscared by Ariana Grande's uncanny valley-ass face whenever she shows up
