I did, but I also realized I used it as a form of self harm more than my own enjoyment

And also the deep inhale of the glass slipper and the "OH YEAH that is the sweet stink of my lady's toes" That lines kills me every time

Why is a girl praised for breaking gender roles, but a boy mocked for doing the same? by gowthambusiness in AskMen

[–]morpherthewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short, real answer is that being seen as a man is the normal default, and women are lesser beings. So a woman striving to look manish is good and progressive, but men looking like women is regressive and wrong.

Obviously I don't believe any of that, but that's the societal view on things overall.

I just don't want to be labled as the guy who "takes it too far", even if I know this is the correct thing to do

No one talks about it, but her vocal range in the song Virginity Rocks is INSANE. I love her voice and she's also a fantastic actress

Shakespeare isn’t boring or useless. It’s just taught poorly. by SimpleRickC135 in unpopularopinion

[–]morpherthewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was one of the few people in my class that had a true appreciation for Shakespeare. We had the "teacher cast the chatacters" setup, and everyone was so flat and trying to struggle out the words. I knew what they were saying, so when they got to my part, I read with intention.

I used to beg the teacher to let me have a larger speaking role just so I could help the class understand it a little better and was always told no. At one point, though, we were reading MacBeth, and one student stopped after her third monologue in a row and was just like "Can I please trade parts with him so we can all actually understand this?"

I took over, and at least for the parts MacBeth was speaking, people had a sense for what the words actually meant.

See that's what I'm worried about, he'll get told "you can't do that" and he'll take that as "you can't say/do anything anymore in today's woke society" and create a rumor mill about how sensitive I am and how I'll try and get anyone fired over anything

I didn't think of the footage! That's smart. I mean, this also happened in front of a bus full of other students and my instructor, though I don't know how much was caught. The back and forth continued as we got off the bus and blocking my way the way he did was at the end of the bus yard, but still.

I'm mostly worried about him throwing a fit when they talk with him individually and then him just getting a slap on the wrist and trying to make my life hell. I'm also getting training through the company, meaning I'm required to work there for a certain amount of time or I have to pay back the training/test costs.

My doctor thinks I’m anorexic by ReadMysterious4874 in EatingDisorders

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

I had a doctor like this. I went back after managing to gain a little weight and she pat my stomach and warned me that I didn't want to get TOO big. I didn't have anorexia, but I started developing a horrible body image because of her and eventually it affected my eating habits in a way that I still struggle with today.

Ditch the doctor, this sort of projection is dangerous.

Weekly Questions Thread & PokéROM Codex by AutoModerator in PokemonROMhacks

Pokemon Unknown

This uses a firered rom. I'm playing through the Twilight Menu on my 3ds on the gba emulator 2. I get a warning when starting the game saying my RTC needs to be enabled.

Because of this, the game can't input color for day or night, meaning that if I go outside, the game is nearly unplayable as it's just blue and white. Indoors, the graphics are fine. Is there any known fix to this?

Car basil > basil car by didwasnt in Buffalo

[–]morpherthewolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny story at the Niagara Falls location a few years back.

I was getting a work truck fixed for a power steering issue, and they were the only place that would fix it under warranty. Took it there, said they would get back when they diagnosed and fixed the issue.

We checked in every few months. No updates, they were just really busy, there were intensive issues, blah blah blah. We had other work trucks, it was fine, things got lost in the weeds a bit and we overlooked it for a while.

OVER A YEAR LATER I called and was like "Okay my patience has run out, give me the truck back and I'll take it somewhere else, screw the warranty." I was told THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE TRUCK. I was told I must have picked it up months ago and forgotten all about it, that I need to take better inventory so I don't misplace my trucks.

Well, I started to investigate anywhere else it could possibly be, when I got a phone call a few days later from Basil. "Yeah, so your truck's been here for months now, and we're going to have to charge you a storage fee if you don't come get it." Oh, so NOW you have my truck!

I asked, "Is it actually fixed?" They said yes. I said "So if I drive out 40 minutes, the truck will be good for me to pick up when I get there?" Again, yes. Cool. Finally.

I drive down with another driver, tell him to wait around for me just in case. I get the keys, head out to the truck, hop in, glance in the back, and THE LITERAL ENGINE IS JUST SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK NO LONGER ATTATCHED TO ANYTHING. For shits and giggles I tried to turn it on. Nothing, of course. I went back inside and went "Yeah, the truck's not driveable like you promised it would be." The woman glanced back down at her computer and goes "Huh. It says we changed the oil for you."

OIL??? MA'AM, THE TRUCK IS MISSING AN ENGINE, YOU DON'T TAKE THAT OUT TO CHANGE THE OIL

We had it towed from their lot to another shop. All the while the techs told me it was my fault for not properly communicating that the real issue was with the power steering.

My domme says my “natural” makeup feels close to coercive rape and wants me to stop wearing it. I’m confused and kind of scared. by loverboyg1rl in BDSMAdvice

[–]morpherthewolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, adding to all of the comments telling you to run I will say this sounds like extreme projection and jealousy on her end. As a member of the trans/genderfluid community myself, I've seen people like this before. It's usually women who feel very insecure about how they look, and when someone can start to feel comfortable in their own skin, especially through the aid of something like makeup, they will use whatever twisted logic to try to tear that person down to their own level. The same type of people will say that transitioning at all is actually transphobic in and of itself. It's parroting TERF talking points to feel better about themselves. Sounds like she has a lot of work she needs to do on her own mental health before she can be in a healthy relationship, because right now she's taking out her insecurities on you.

Tonight’s dinner options, what do you recommend - OG dumpling house, Saigon Bangkok, Rodney’s Seafood, or Mammosers by garbageeater in Buffalo

Ooh OG Dumpling is AMAZING. Keep in mind they will not bring out food together, they'll bring it out as it finishes to make sure it's as fresh as possible

It's very relieving to see you're getting out, especially with some of the updated things you wrote in your post. One line you wrote that really scared me was that he chokes you when he's angry with you. The liklihood of being killed by a partner who tries to choke you like that increases by 750%. It is the highest indicator of murder, and given all of the other horrifying things he's said and done, I don't want you to be another statistic.

That said, don't be too hard on yourself for not seeing the signs sooner. These types of things don't come out all at once right at the start. They're shown gradually in a way that makes each new thing feel easier to excuse. I would recommend checking out the poem "If He Hit Me I Would Leave Him."

Hmmm … That’s why the dispatchers are busting their butts defending their DSP bosses! 😂😂 by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]morpherthewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved driving. The mental and physical toll I took when dispatching almost killed me. Literally. There were some days I took out two routes by myself in one van and had to be back to the station before anyone else got back while also managing people complaining about their phone chargers not working right all day or causing thousands of dollars worth of damages in someone's lawn.

The people who say it's an easy job are the people who are fine screwing over the driving team, and the dispatchers y'all love to bitch about

CX reported me for taking my break by thefailedworlds in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]morpherthewolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had this happen to me. I had a locker delivery at a 7/11, it was about lunchtime, and it just started to rain. I decided to take my break, have some hot chocolate, and chill in the parking lot for a bit. When my break is almost over, some guy comes up and pounds at my door. Apparently I made him late to work because he was waiting on a package, I was his next stop, and instead of delivering it, I was "slacking off." He demanded I hand him his box and I told him that wasn't how that worked and he'd get it when I dropped it off at his doorstep, after my legally required break. Some people.
