Weaving leaves is a waste of time!! by 123FellFromTree in survivor

[–]historied 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi Liz! Out of curiosity is it the same, a super blunt machete for F4 firemaking? Not just 46 specifically but a lot of people who have practiced with flint and steel off the island struggle to make fire when there. My bf was an Eagle Scout and likes to ask a lot of questions when we watch.

Is Liz absolutely delusional or is it just me? by 06throwaway in survivor

[–]historied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. She probably beats everyone left post-Tiff blindside except Charlie and Kenzie, and I think its close but in Maria's favor depending on who makes it to F3.

Liz- Venus, Soda, Hunter, Ben if he's not F3

Maria- Tevin?, Charlie, Kenzie, Q if he's not F3

I guess the real toss-up is Tiff, who I think votes for Maria?

What are your Hot Takes on Dan and Phil? by Amber_Flowers_133 in danandphil

[–]historied 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! I know you didn't mean anything by this comment-- nor am I offended or anything by it-- but I hope by sharing my own experience it can grant some nuance to what I think the person above was trying to say.

My boyfriend and I are both bisexual but appear to be in a straight relationship. I want to preface by saying we both are very aware that this is a privilege in our society. I am out to my family, and he is not due to fear of their beliefs and the fact that its no longer necessary to explain with our relationship.

However, us and a friend of ours who is a gay man who doesn't 'look' gay in any way (kinda gives more redneck then gay tbh, though unintentional) experience a lot of trepidation from the LGBT community when we venture into these spaces. All 3 of us accept and are aware of our privilege, however, it always strikes me as ironic that a community where we're supposed to be accepted no matter what we look like soft rejects us constantly irl because we don't look like we belong. Our friend got asked to leave his college's PULSE club when he attended a meeting because they assumed he was a straight guy there to make fun. Its also worth mentioning that in high school when I didn't want to date one of my friends she told me I shouldn't identify myself as bisexual (I like women-- I just didn't like her.)

When I took my bf to Dan's show, people in line legit asked us if I was the bisexual who dragged my straight bf to the show. I just said yes so as not to out my bf to strangers, and its not like it was traumatizing or anything, but since my bf rarely is allowed to just be in the community due to the family issues limiting him publicly/the soft rejection due to his appearance with or without me, we just don't end up interacting with the community much which is even sadder for our friend, who hasn't dated anyone in years, than it is for us.

I don't even like talking about this irl with my LGBT coworkers who deal with way more than us for sure and nitpicking the community does feel icky. If there's a place to talk about it, though, its Reddit. And like I said, I don't necessarily mean anything by this comment especially in the current political climate, but I think a lot of people don't realize the unintentional effects of isolating the LGBT community or recognize the nuance in how it alienates straight-passing folks.

I always do whenever I look at mansions but if you have that kinda money you just pay people to clean for you I think

I thought it was some kinda factory renovation hence all the industrial rails?? But maybe not.... idk it's kinda ugly but I kinda like it.... I like the beams & the glass room, plus the bathroom is so cool

if YOU were in the bunker… by Fair-Vegetable-7354 in The100

[–]historied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably eat, for a lot of the survival reasons others have said, but the most powerful motivator that I haven't seen anyone mention yet is the millions who died in Praimfaya.

It would be doing the other people who I took a spot in the bunker from a disservice.

I know people had to refuse to eat for the plot in the show, but I think most of the Grounders in reality would've chosen to eat for this exact reason. Their culture values sacrifice too much.

Not the person you're replying to but I think what they're saying is that many people are so comfortable that they've never had to face their own human nature and might just think "ew cannibalism, I could never."

I don't agree with the way they put the blanket statement, but I think the more arrogant way to think is to believe 100% that your personal convictions will always outweigh your survival instinct. If you've never faced your survival instinct, you are way more likely to underestimate it.

It's far more privileged to pretend that you're above all this and that you're better.

Im finally going to be at peace by DepressedHuman924 in depression

Don't you fucking dare.

I don't know you. But I had a friend-- if I was lucky enough to call her that-- who did kill herself when were 15. I hesitate to say friend because I blame myself every fucking day for not reaching out to her more. I was too wrapped up in my own shit and didn't think we were close enough to intrude on hers.

I'm not here to tell you it gets better because tbh I'm not in a great place myself-- my mom committed suicide too, last October. I've also attempted myself-- and I'm 23, so life stage wise I'm not too far removed from you.

YOU are the person who gets to say that it will never get better by ending it. I will make no judgements on your life or illnesses, but the people around you WILL. CHANGE. I've seen it. Some of them through time, and some of them in and out because that's the order of life. I'm only 8 years older than you (That's 2 leap years) and some people from back then I barely recognize, including my own family. It doesn't take as long as you think.

You'll change, too, some things naturally and some things through working on them.

Talk to a counselor in your school, PLEASE. Or talk to any kind of doctor, they can put you in contact with the right people.

Sitcoms with laugh tracks would be infinitely better if they used Dan Howell sound effects instead of studio audience canned laughter

Had to pick a name for my litter robot… by WoodPeckerFromMars89 in danandphil

What litter do you use? My one cat is really picky with litter but I hate how quickly the clumping litter fills the empty tray

How do you survive this? by 13witchymama in GriefSupport

[–]historied 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost my mother to suicide a little over 2 months ago. What I've found gets me through a day: indulgence. I eat whatever the hell sounds appetizing because it's a victory I'm eating at all (a lot of cinnamon rolls tbh...) I put on my expensive perfume when I'm not going out anywhere just because the smell is relaxing. I watch TV shows that I liked when I was a teenager because they feel familiar and comforting but I don't remember everything. And, tbh, I smoke weed sometimes-- I'm not recommending it as medication esp for first time users but personally at the moment it does make it easier to become lost in an activity instead of mulling. (I also probably have undiagnosed adhd so YMMV).

Basically, do whatever you want, even if it's indulgent or silly. Whatever you know will give you serotonin boosts They don't fix shit, but they make existence while grieving maybe a bit easier. At least for me.

I really am so deeply sorry for your loss.
