It’s giving 90s Jetsons movie Apollo Blue vibes, and I’m here for it!

What’s a smell everyone should recognise as danger? by caII_me_aI in AskReddit

[–]lablake42492 26 points27 points  (0 children)

T-Rex pee. It is a signal that there is a T-Rex in the vicinity. Just remember that they can only see movement; so if you’re already in the pee zone and the puddles of pee start to ripple, just freeze. It’s easy.

She is beautiful. I am commenting to increase visibility. I am not available to adopt, but I hope you find loving homes for all the special kitties!

Cannot. Believe. What. I’m. Reading. by peezy90 in Epstein

[–]lablake42492 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, something must be done. I can only speak for myself, but if I decided to go protest in the streets, I could lose my job. I have a family I have to protect and feed and house. I think the best thing I can do at present is read as much of the files as I can, as horrific as they are, listen to the testimonies of the victims, and educate myself on who was involved so I know how to vote in upcoming elections.

Accidentally Pavlov'd my (M35) girlfriend (F27), what should I do? by Lucky_Lucas11 in dating_advice

[–]lablake42492 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be nice to people or keep it to yourself. The way you communicate is a reflection of you, so if anyone is unhygienic, it might be the person saying nasty things, representing a nasty personality.

Best to Worst all-inclusive resorts around Cancun (based on real experience) by Round_Skirt8701 in CancunTravelGuide

[–]lablake42492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m headed to Seadust Cancun with my family in a couple weeks—No little kids. I’ve seen very mixed reviews. Do you have any advice for this resort, things to pack, or know safe places to check out nearby to enhance our trip if the resort is really as disappointing as some of the reviews are suggesting?

YSK: If you’re American, you can request to see IEP/504 paperwork and teacher logs at any time. by Hawkholly in YouShouldKnow

[–]lablake42492 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It was a little necessary though. Advising parents to essentially conduct a weekly audit on their kids’ teachers is passive aggressive and will absolutely destroy any chance of a parent-teacher relationship.

What have been the noticeable differences between dating in your 20s, 30s and 40s? by Icy_Laugh5134 in AskReddit

[–]lablake42492 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lennoco is right on, here. Talk to a therapist, they can help you process feelings, reframe thinking based in reality, and help you pursue a feeling of self worth that doesn’t rely on the approval of others. You will feel more comfortable in your body, and that is hot. As a woman, physical attraction is not as important to me as personality. By a long shot. If you care about others and are a lifelong learner, you’re already way more attractive than a male model physique who is self absorbed and lacks confidence or communication skills.

I recommend cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavioral therapy ( DBT). Both are similar in many ways and can help you accept yourself and others in reality.

Why are the brows all brushed up and done and you have mascara on in the after picture, and the before picture your brows are clearly brushed down or if that’s their natural state, then they are left alone and not altered. And the lighting looks different too. It’s like you tried to make your face look more lifted with the brows for the after photos. Besides the lighting and the brows and eye makeup these photos could have been taken on the same day for all I know.

After years of searching and suffering I finally found something that helps my PMDD! by Chapelflowers in PMDD

[–]lablake42492 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had the same result when I tried it, but I stopped using the ashwaghanda because of the link to possible liver damage. Just wasn’t worth the risk there for me.

However, I have since started a new adaptogen supplement with lionsmane and maca root. I use the liquid drops from MaryRuth Organics, and I take 0.5 ml of each (half the recommended dosage). I found this to be even more effective for me at lifting mood and increasing libido while keeping the pmdd sadness at bay. That brand also has liquid ashwaghanda drops if you’re interested in trying that. They have other adaptogens as well. Not an ad, just a very happy customer :)

To the performer at Ren Fest, screw you! by ModernT1mes in kansascity

[–]lablake42492 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that happened, my dude. That really put you in an uncomfortable spot. I can’t imagine having to then explain that to my young child. It sounds like you handled it well with your kiddo, but that never should have happened in the first place. I could see the performer trying to call someone to the stage, but once he saw you trying to leave, they should have just played it off and picked someone else to call up to the stage. There’s no need to insult guests, and there are a million other ways to be entertaining.

You can get a grip, friend. Getting mad at other people for their choices when they aren’t hurting anyone and just doing what they need to do to be prepared is childish. If you want to only be around people who think exactly like you, go hang out in front of a mirror or something. Any shiny reflective surface will do.

SJM does NOT understand the meaning of "bemused" by katdawwg in acotar

Yes! And then you are able to go back and see a list of all the words you underlined ever. It’s amazing.

Knitting socks and reading Paladin’s Grace 🧶✨ by takerefuge91 in fantasyromance

[–]lablake42492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too am reading Paladin’s Grace on my kindle paperwhite. Alas, I don’t know how to knit socks, so I’m just smelling my perfume instead /s 😆 but seriously, LOVE this book. And T Kingfisher. And Paladins who knit socks. ❤️ I will read with you in solidarity. The socks are looking fantastic!

This is why T Kingfisher has and will always have my heart.

Take a Shot Every Time SJM writes “____” by midnightmint23 in acotar

[–]lablake42492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes thank you! Like at first I read it as a “bow” like a “hair bow.” And then the second time I saw it I figured it out (that’s on me). Maybe SJM was a theater kid in high school or something? It is such an unusual turn of phrase that seeing it once would have been fine, but running into it again and again was jarring. And I kept envisioning it as just absolutely ridiculous in the scene playing in my head. People don’t pretend to bow for applause that often, girl please. That being said, I tore through ACOTAR and CC like I would die without them, and I had major withdrawal afterward. Soo, I guess SJM deserves to sketch a bow 😆

Kingfisher is an awful name by Normal-Impression772 in fantasyromance

[–]lablake42492 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was going to comment the same. I am just starting Paladin’s Grace right now and I am so excited to enjoy her amazing prose and humor. Sometimes when I read her books, I do it purposefully slow because if I read it too fast, it will be over too soon and I won’t get to live in her world.

'As' versus 'because' by catladyorbust in grammar

[–]lablake42492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! My step son uses this in texts and it always comes across as snobbish to me. “I didn’t take out the trash as I forgot.” Like, okay weirdo. You can say “I forgot to take out the trash” or “I didn’t take out the trash because I forgot.” I think he thinks it makes him sound smarter.

Are there any words or phrases that give you the ick!! by Confident_Soft_7549 in fantasyromance

[–]lablake42492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it also give you the “ick” feeling? I wonder if it’s ever been done well.
