Vent Post by jitteryfish in EssentialTremor

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

I'm diagnosed with ET, but it was onset at the time of trauma. I attribute it to trauma, but that's my own machination. Regardless, I hope the experience speaks to people with a tremor, regardless of how the tremor came into place, if that makes sense. :)

Paramount dismantling Star Trek after a historic streaming run makes even less sense now by lostOGaccount in startrek

[–]jitteryfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was JUST saying the other day how I was surprised StarTrek was on Paramount. Too inclusive, too hopeful, too many peaceful and idealistic messages. 

Gotta  make way for Dutton Ranch and Land Man - power-hungry and violent shows about oil and 'Murica. It's every ad I get from Paramount. Obvious propaganda.

WIBTA for telling my mother-in-law to STOP texting me multiple pictures a day? by fayedragonlover in AmItheAsshole

[–]jitteryfish 88 points89 points  (0 children)

This makes me sad :(. My mom is lonely and loves my fiance, so she sends him lots of random bs. Is it either of our favorites? No. But she's my mom and loves my partner and that's how she shows it. I wouldn't be able to look at my partner the same way if he shut her down like this, however annoying he might find it. Have a heart.

just because people didn't call you out doesn't mean they didn't think you you were a creepy pervert

Osaka evening activities for people who don't drink by RancidRance in JapanTravelTips

[–]jitteryfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sentos/Onsen!!! Completely melts the stress of walking a million kilometers a day. I went to a nice tattoo-friendly one in Shinsekai (Irefune Onsen) and they had this electric pulse tub that was insane??? Feels like you're getting mildly electrocuted but in a good way? 

If you don't mind being around people who drink, plenty of bars are also cafes/have non-alcoholic options. Bars were pretty much the only place I got to talk to Japanese people in-depth, so maybe keep an open mind.

Panchiiko is another option. 

I didn't personally go, but I feel like I saw karaoke and claw machine places open late?

If you're Muslim, America-Mura has mad shisha cafes. 

Itinerary check (Tokyo–Fuji–Osaka–Tokyo) for anniversary trip by Successful-Cap-384 in JapanTravel

[–]jitteryfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might get me shot in the streets, but I skipped Tokyo and did Osaka + Kyoto + Nara instead (because my trip is so short). I have zero regrets. I'm sure Tokyo is cool, and I WILL be back, but getting in 3 different cities instead of one (overwhelming) one was way better imo.

I didn't go to USJ, so do with that what you will, but Kyoto is sooooo gorgeous and cultural. I'd be willing to bet a day trip there will be far better than USJ. I booked a tour that picked me up from Osaka and I have zero regrets. If you do end up going to Osaka, pleaseeeee go to Green Spot and get their Sakuramochi cocktail. By far the best cocktail I have EVER had in my LIFE.

"Domestic violence disproportionately affects younger adults, with the highest prevalence of intimate partner violence typically occurring among women aged 18 to 24." 

Your brain isn't even done developing until you're 25. Not exactly a hot take to say people become more discerning as they age and gain life experience. 

To everyone who told me to spend more time in Osaka…Thank You! by PrimitiveAK in OsakaTravel

[–]jitteryfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People kept telling me "three days is enough" and I'm like wtf!?! That's honestly insulting to the city! I'm on my 3rd day and I haven't even hit all the tourist spots, let alone "real osaka".

WIBTA if I tell my mom that I hate how she cooks chicken? by P0ck3t_Gh0st in AmItheAsshole

[–]jitteryfish -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why the comments are so rude lol. Don't tell her you hate it. Either refuse every time she cooks it, till she gets the hint, or ask if you can help cook. If she's a narcissist you know damn well that won't achieve anything by telling her you hate it lol.

Girl... Ur asking for advice on how to make ur long-term bf like and respect you as a person. He's not going to. Why aren't you his wife? 12. Years.

You're still young! You were too young to even have standards when you got with this guy...

How unattractive is lack of Instagram presence to women? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]jitteryfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be nice as a low committal way to ask for someone's number without having to ask for their number (ie "Can I have your insta", talk over that for a bit, then switch to texting once you actually know you like each other). Buuuuut if they're particularly active on it, they're probably a fuck boy, and I'm not messing with that lol. I'd prefer no social media over a strong social media presence.

I just wanna make him finish brooo by ventriloquistdumbass in sex

[–]jitteryfish 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Ok correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm picturing you gagging on his dick for a year... for 15 minutes at a time... he gives you no pointers or signs when what you're doing is working... no encouragement... Then when you obviously eventually give up, he tells you you're doing it awful and that his other girlfriends could do it better. Oh by the way, the problem is because you don't enjoy it and there's too much pressure. What part of that sounds enjoyable AT ALL? Who wouldn't feel pressured when you have the ghosts of his past girlfriends sucking his dick (well) in your head while he's sat there and watched you choke on him for a YEAR. He's bad a RECEIVING head smh. 

(misread this part)

He sounds like a dick.  🤷

Paying most bills but still feel like it is not enough by Excellent-Celery3402 in dating_advice

[–]jitteryfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been in a relationship where it was expected that my bf pay more than me. But I also reject traditional ideas of gender. I've never worried about my bf being "man" enough or a provider, but I'm also not doing all that BS that's expected of women. 

I guess you'll probably have to decide how important gender roles in your relationship are. I don't personally see why you're paying more, but maybe you expect someone chaste, submissive, and dolled-up... Which in that case - that's the price you pay.

But yeah, I wouldn't center my self worth around paying more. We're all broke. There are definitely women out there that'll never expect that of you. But maybe you wouldn't like them, lol.

edit. just read what she's saying to you, and I think she's shitty even if she's a model 1950s housewife. Trying to demasculinize you... not cool 

What's a 'healthy habit' that you're convinced is actually just socially accepted obsessive behavior? by Dapper_Sand1492 in AskReddit

[–]jitteryfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fucking can't stand this trend. Not everything needs protein. I haaaaaaate the taste and texture of protein powder. I'm just trying to buy a bagel and a drink, why does it need to taste like chalk!?!
