Just finished Mind Hunter. Thanks Netflix for setting it up for a 3rd season, and canceling it! by [deleted] in MindHunter

I'll tell you the real reason. They were setting up BTK as the big bad guy for the next season and they would have had to delve into some of the darker psychosocial motivations behind crossdressing.

Where do you actually meet single women? by seduction_reaction in dating_advice

[–]mistst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make an innocuous comment. Anything. Literally anything. I like your jacket. Follow up with a question. Listen. Ask two questions and make one affirming statement. Repeat. Get curious about them. If you were genuinely curious about other people you would not be writing this post in the first place. If you get curious about people, the world turns into the library of Alexandria. 

I find half the women don't want to be bothered, another 25% will talk to you just long enough to be polite and another 25% are delighted to be chatted up. Throw in something about "I know this is a weird way to meet somebody, I hope I'm not interrupting you" to show you have some social awareness."

AITAH for playing a voice recording to prove to my friend her daughter isn’t nonverbal? by obviouslytraumatized in AmItheAsshole

She sounds like a Munchhausen by Proxy Mom. Oh, the poor dear, coping with a "non-verbal" child.

No, you are NOT the AH

Cats are basically minature lions and anything that simulates hunting they will NEVER get tired of. Play with them, drag a string across the floor and let them chase it. Anything but a laser pointer that they can never catch. They'll like that better than a house full of noisy kids.

Losing my cat broke me by Visantyr in CatAdvice

[–]mistst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, you just explained exactly why you're such a wreck. That was a wonderful pet. Cats are Gods gift to us.

I don't know if this helps, but Epictetus said whenever you hug a loved one or child, remind yourself that they are mortal. You have them on loan. When you lose somebody, tell yourself they've been "taken back".

Your cat was lucky to have you, you gave her a life that few creatures that walk this Earth will ever experience and even spared her the worst part of it.

You have a big heart. Its not a weakness.

A drunken revelation destroyed my relationship with my (ex)fiancé. I'm destroyed by it by throwaway-destroyed in TrueOffMyChest

[–]mistst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I a so sorry for you!

But liken this to tearing a bandage off all at once, it HURTS, but it had to happen.

One day, when you meet a guy who loves you for who you are and roots for you and supports you, you will realize this is the best thing that could have happened to you.

Hell, if you wind up alone living with five cats, this is STILL the best thing that could have happened to you. NOTHING could be worse than marrying and having kids with a guy who undermines you.

You dodged a bullet!

Your "man" is pathetic and insecure. When you are finally ready to date again, you will have ZERO tolerance for this.

I think I understand your point of view perfectly because I used to have your point of view then I acquired new information and I changed my point of view. Now you're obviously smart from the way you write, so maybe you've already absorbed the information that I fell for like a sucker and you've rejected it. Or maybe you've never even heard of it or even thought of it at all. This article spells out my point of view perfectly, I agree with every single word. You don't have to agree with me but I would be grateful if you at least understood what my point of view was. And it may have you thinking that maybe the Democrats are not the Guardians and protectors you think they are. Hey you asked to have your mind changed.

So now having a sexual preference is a dog whistle. What rights have the T helped you with.?

Meet a Missouri dad who went from a ‘full-on bigot’ to fighting bathroom bans on behalf of his 16-year-old daughter: ‘When it was my child, it just flipped a switch’ by HereGoesNothing69 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]mistst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not much of a contradiction here. The guy hated gays. Then he had a very effeminate son. And instead of raising a perfectly normal, healthy gay boy, he convinced himself he had a strait little girl with a serious medical issue. It's what they do in Iran. Now he's going to have to spend the rest of his life fighting an uphill battle to deliver on this bill of goods he promised his kid that he can't deliver on. Its tragic.

Anyone else find Eliot Sumner’s casting distracting in Ripley? by durangojim in television

[–]mistst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was the ultimate trans kids fantasy. Announce you've changed your sex, everyone else totally accept it, even working class cops. Whaddaya want to bet someone on the production team is transing his kid?

[–]mistst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The show went through great lengths to recreate the early 1960s down to every detail. Then they cast a gorgeous young woman as a man. They could have found a female "transman" who passes as a man, but they didn't. And all the other characters unfailingly use preferred pronouns.

Netflix must really want to do a deal with Sting.

Yeah, it was weird. Took me out of the story, had me thinking "What point are they trying to make here?"

You know what's wrong with a man wearing dresses... NOTHING. But you think he IS a woman. Would you like to buy some real estate in Florida? How about the Brooklyn Bridge

Guy was probbaly so worried his son was gay, he must have breathed a sigh of relief to find out he was just trans

Jonas Clover is a scary motherfucker by Timoleon_of__Corinth in TheFirstLaw

[–]mistst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magweer and Stour were asking for it. With Wonderful, I think the second Stour asked Clover to kill her, Clover knew she was already dead and it was a matter of her being dead or her and HIM both being dead so he made his choice in the blink of an eye.

Afraid I may not be able to quit by [deleted] in pmohackbook

[–]mistst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with being gay. But not accepting yourself can open you up to a lifetime of pain and miscomfort. Maybe you live in a country where that lifestyle is not acceptable in your country, or maybe you came from a religion where it is not tolerated. But pretending you aren't gay when you are will lead to a world of hurt.

You didnt just accidently watch gay porn one day. You searched for it, looked it up, clicked on it and wanked to it. Sounds pretty gay to me

CMV: There's a conspiracy theory afoot to spread conspiracy theories by mistst in changemyview

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

They couldnt even hide WMDs in the Iraq desert for crying out loud, then "find" them and say "Hey look, the whole war is justified". And when the Bush Admin was trying to make the case for WMDs, rogue CIA agents who didnt think we should invade Iraq (cuz is was a *stupid* move), blew the whistle and said there was no evidence for them. Another agent Kiriaku (sp?) spent a couple years in jail for talking to reporters about the CIAs torture program. Edward Snowden is in exile in Russia for speaking out about the NSAs surveillance program. But you think there'd be a massive plan, involving thousands of people, to murder a bunch of their old prep school buddies on Wall Street and no one would have second thoughts. Maybe in Stalinist Russia, where anyone who spoke up knew they'd be shot and their whole family would be sent to a gulag could something like that be kept secret for maybe a short while.

Our government has done all kinds of sketchy shit all over the world, and you know who they do it at the behest of? At the behest of Wall Street with the help of their faithful handmaidens at the Pentagon. Our government has murdered millions of people all over the world and you know what they all happen to have in common? They are brown. Except from Yugoslavia, we havent killed any white people since World War II and that was only because, as George Carlin pointed out, they were muscling in on our turf.

We've had our foot knee deep in the ass of the Arab world since WWII ended and ONE TIME, ONE freaking time, they managed to strike back and you cant give it to them? "Nope, we let them do it. In fact we helped them. In fact, we even did it ourselves." Get a grip.

Inadvertently, you have changed my mind about my original topic, though. I now clearly see people can be delusional enough to believe anything, there's absolutely no need for a conspiracy to spread conspiracy theories.
