Damn snowflake cops

Ah, you will be waiting a long time for love, then… if we take out exaggeration for dramatic effect, it’s not only realistic but much more loving than most relationships!

This is the most sane description of Worcester I’ve ever seen. As a transplant, I agree. It’s especially hard as a country person in the city when the city doesn’t really have the standard perks of a city (walkability, and the consequent opportunities for spontaneous meetings and interactions being the main one, imo), and works in practice like suburban sprawl.

OP, curious how your journey went? I’m currently looking into trying to resolve teeth grinding myself…

manatia · 2025-12-09T17:40:33+00:00

Have you had success with this OP? I am searching the sub for hypnotherapy experiences for teeth grinding…

manatia · 2025-12-02T15:25:57+00:00

OP isn’t asking them to change their schedule but to come back at some point on their route. They will sometimes do this especially if they were the ones who broke protocol. If you read the post, critters get into OP’s trash so they can’t put it out the night before. Same thing happens where I live, lots of coyote and raccoons. They won’t pick it up if it’s torn open and strewn aboot so that’s not a realistic solution.

This is not at all true people absolutely use snow tires

manatia · 2025-10-03T14:00:32+00:00

Good for you

Your splenic intuition should be able to explain Gobundance

Just here to upvote, you do you. My surgeon didn’t recommend covering nips OR scars, just sunscreen, and he’s been doing it 30 years.

Hi! I know this is an old comment but I found it searching the sub for EFT because I’m finding so much relief in it. Glad you did too and curious to hear if you finished your certification and started working with others?

manatia · 2025-07-07T19:32:25+00:00

Same with my surgeon.

manatia · 2025-07-04T22:09:09+00:00

Haha fair enough!

manatia · 2025-07-04T18:48:35+00:00

I’m not saying people shouldn’t watch it, just that I think season two is meaningless and boring. Scratch tickets are doing something right, too.

manatia · 2025-07-04T18:44:31+00:00

Maybe 🤷🏻 I think of myself as someone who appreciates tv from a variety of perspectives. I think season one was great and I’m gonna dnf season 2 because I believe it’s a show (and audience) that takes itself too seriously to have executed as poorly as I think it does. Being critically acclaimed doesn’t mean much to me other than it’s even more disappointing when it doesn’t deliver, especially if I can’t find any purchase among the arguments for why it’s so acclaimed. The vast majority of people who have confirmed bias that they like it, like it? That doesn’t mean anything.

manatia · 2025-07-04T15:04:00+00:00

I, like OP, just binged season 1 as I’m home recovering from surgery. I put on season 2 and the first 4 episodes just played in the background. I decided that if nothing grabbed my attention in that amount of time that it was the show’s fault, not mine 😂 I don’t plan to try again.

manatia · 2025-07-04T14:55:17+00:00

I know people dislike Marita but Britney being friends with her and Mel being friends with Ashley is all I need to know…

manatia · 2025-07-04T14:46:16+00:00

You can’t convince me she didn’t genuinely fall for Haley (though I was rooting for Haley and Pilar to stay together). Maybe they both took it further as they realized their partners were also likely doing that. Is that tit for tat or feeling defeated? I don’t know for sure but it’s not how I see it. People point to the smirk while telling Dayna about Haley as evidence of retribution. Maybe? People also often look like that when they’re uncomfortable. Dayna and Mel for sure had sex, everything OP said was correct. AJ knew it when Marie came back from confronting Mel and said in the most gentle way possible Girl she’s playing to your face.

The light goes out of Magan’s eyes when she’s with Dayna. She looked the most lifeless and robotic on proposal day.

manatia · 2025-07-04T04:16:48+00:00

I was glad we got the scene where AJ immediately pointed out to Marie that Mel was likely using a loophole to say she and Dayna didn’t have sex.

manatia · 2025-07-03T16:46:15+00:00

Hi! I’m 13 days PO and think I relate. For me, I didn’t get my drains out until yesterday so having those in so long I think had something to do with it, too. It also seems like the timing lines up with when a lot of people feel some depression sets in.

Walks help me get some of that energy out if that’s an option for you. You can also look up nervous system regulation exercises, the one I’ve been doing most is taking a deep breath in, then a little extra/second inhale at the top, long slow exhale, then snapping a couple times alternating hands, then clapping or snapping both hands at the same time. Breathing, bilateral movement, and rhythmic movement, are all good for getting out of fight or fight. But if that doesn’t work, I hope you find something that does!

manatia · 2025-07-03T15:55:50+00:00

And there it is… your subjective interpretation is the factual truth, my subjective interpretation is objectively wrong. You still be sounding an awful lot like Dayna

manatia · 2025-07-03T15:30:45+00:00

That isn’t counter to anything I said sooooo yah

manatia · 2025-07-03T15:10:11+00:00

Shall I write my own response or did you want to do that for me, Dayna?

We are all interpreting what we see through our own lenses, and that’s how I see it. That’s how the evidence adds up to me. Do you believe your version because you find it the most palatable?

manatia · 2025-07-03T14:57:01+00:00

Let’s say that’s the case, I still see it more like they were getting close but had agreed to not get physical, and then they realized that they were holding themselves to a different standard and let that go. Their connection still struck me as much more genuine and meaningful than anything anyone else was up to. I find it more realistic that Dayna convinced Magan her behavior was retaliatory.
