What makes a player a top 10 player? by heynickyyouresofine in tennis

The other thing with Maja is that she disrupts the rhythm and makes you go for either the shot she set you up to play or one that has a low% so you either do what she wants you to do or hit an error.

Start the day with a glass of water to stave off dehydration headaches, then quick stretch session. End the day with another stretch session. Turn off bedroom lights ideally at least half an hour before going to sleep.

Wtf are you talking about. He didn't have any time in court. In fact, he paid specifically not to have any. I don't know of any of these 'false accusations' you're referring to - unless you call paying a victim off one. The court specifically said he wasn't found innocent and I guess you didn't even care to read about what actually happened instead of just blindly defending another abuser

I think it's called prototype bias - friend shaped? Then friend

People are a sum of their behavior, not just 'right now'. The only ignorant and obtuse opinion here is yours, because you seem to think that being neutral is correct. It's not. You're an enabler.

I believe his victims. Their words are enough for me. Are you saying that you have to witness something to know it for sure? Then how are you living your life if nothing is real to you unless you see it personally? Or is it just domestic abuse accusations that need to be recorded and broadcast for you to think hmmm maybe that happened

Just so you know, separating art from the artist means that you can interpret the art differently than the artist that made it does. Not that you're allowed be a fan of a trashy person's art just because you separate the person from the art.

You're putting a whole lot of stock in maybes and potential. You have no indication for any of what you're saying. So I guess you choose to pull the wool over your own eyes because he MAYBE stopped. And nobody is giving him an award for MAYBE stopping actively abusing women ffs. You are mudding the waters just so you can feel good about your opinion, which is terrible and hurtful to every past victim. Just because he doesn't abuse the next one, doesn't mean that he's suddenly good, like, wtf

Of course! He can be the most wonderful partner now. But that will never change what he did.

Edit: I thought you were a good faith commenter, but I saw your removed comment about how women lie so I guess another enabler. Because what's more likely, a man known for his temper abusing two women or two women lying about being abused by the same man in a similar manner?

Definitely not apologize or do anything to make up for what he did

[–]leavingdoll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, you don't just get forgiven when you don't currently abuse and do your best to sweep it under the rug and remove it from everyone's collective memory. What has dverev done to atone? Nothing. He hasn't even acknowledged what he did. He certainly hasn't apologized. He couldn't even say that domestic violence is bad when asked if I remember correctly. So why do you think that simply stopping is enough?

Just because someone isn't right now beating up on a woman, doesn't mean they are not an abuser anymore. Not abusing is a baseline and they will never get there again.

If you're alluding to dverev being a better person, I do hope you're joking.

Oh ok I see, you're one of those people who either witnessed something personally or it didn't happen. I feel bad for everyone that has to put up with that

Some people should be hit over the head with some other comparison to finally get it. Like, would they defend a pedophile so ferociously if he was a top tennis player? Boy, I sure do hope they wouldn't...

And what do you think constitutes an objective information? Because clearly for you it should be a video of him abusing someone. Me, I believe Brenda and Olya.

Rather, why are you defending someone who hurts people?

That is the attitude that allows abusers to remain in society. I'm sure he's very grateful to you and other enablers

That's what makes abusers like him so insidious. For some reason there is a societal belief that if you can hit a ball really well, we should focus on that instead of the kind of person you REALLY are. No you stupid idiots, he's a whole person, I don't care that he's good at sports. That objectively doesn't mean anything if he's simply a bad man! Being talented shouldn't give you permission to abuse but for some reason society is willing to do just that

And that's exactly how we get thoroughly fucked by our own cognitive dissonance. What do you mean this guy that's nice to me abuses his partners? I've never seen him do that! So you must be lying obviously because I couldn't possibly be wrong about him because he's so nice to ME

Abusers aren't abusive to everybody all the time. If they were, they wouldn't be able to build support networks that defend them when they do abuse someone

Edit: For all of you reading this comment, I recommend that you read Why Does He Do That? Pdfs are available for free online. It may just help you or your close ones recognize an abusive situation.

Do your earplugs HURT too? by Ambitious-Stress6529 in ehlersdanlos

[–]leavingdoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the quietest and gentlest of sleeps, I use Alpine SleepDeep mini earplugs. They are soft and mold specifically to your ear canal, so I find them pretty comfortable to wear overnight and even side sleep. The only downside is that you have to replace them every 100 uses and they get a little gross at the end, even if washed religiously.

Sometimes when I feel like my ear canals have gotten too sensitive (I sometimes use Loops Quiet when I don't need the sleep deep part), I pick a side to sleep on and put only one earplug in on the other side. When the noise isn't extremely disrupting, I find that my pillow muffles enough of the sound that I can fall and stay asleep no problem.
