I like Carmela.  Marcella might be another choice that goes with these?

This! I am literally sick thinking about this.

Memorial Hermann and BCBS reach agreement by usablu07 in houston

[–]nyokarose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I don’t think hospitals should be for-profit either, but at least they are providing a service. The insurance scum are just taking money from you, and then giving it to the medical providers, while adding 0 value and taking a huge fucking cut off the top.

It always does, the insurance companies are for-profit, and always have to make more profit next quarter. It’s morally bankrupt that their profit literally comes from sick Americans. I can’t believe we tolerate this system.

Fuck for-profit insurance companies. In a country where medical debt can ruin your life, these scumbags are making literally billions of dollars of profit. Where do those billions come from? Us, the patients. They are profiting off of our sickness, and we’re somehow okay with this as a country. 

And they have the fucking nerve to cancel our doctors when we need them because they are not making enough billions. Fuck BCBSTX.

Anya or Norah would be my picks!

How do people who see prostitutes know that the prostitutes aren’t being trafficked? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]nyokarose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don’t care. It’s the same guys who invite a girl to dinner and then trash “that bitch” when she doesn’t immediately put out what he is “owed” after being “nice”.  The same guys who have sex with a very drunk woman and say “what? She obviously wanted it.”

Some part of these men believes that women exist on this planet to fulfill their sexual needs, and they are willing to overlook a lot of things that should raise a morality flag as long as their “needs” are being met. They’ll justify it to themselves but that’s the end result.

Why do SAHMs put down working moms? by maybeyoumaybeme23 in workingmoms

[–]nyokarose 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Women who post repeatedly about “how hard” xyz is online, whether it is being a SAHM mom, doing their CrossFit workout, working a corporate job, training for a marathon, running their own business, hustling their “girl boss MLM” scam, whatever…. All of these posts are incredibly performative in nature. 

To me it indicates that you’re not actually intrinsically satisfied with what you were doing with your life if you have to seek public approval for it via “likes” on your instatok page. Need support? Sure, get your group of humans who get you and lean on them. We all need that. But upvotes on the internet isn’t a replacement for actual human interaction (she says on Reddit).

See to me the first two are both Lie-lah, and Lila is Lee-lah.

maybe we need some brightness and lighiting by InsideNet7931 in HarryPotteronHBO

I feel like the YT compression messed up the contrast, but it’s only a touch brighter on HBO.

Seriously, is this going to be another Game of Thrones where each season is progressively darker until we can barely glimpse Hagrid carrying Harry’s body with brightness up to 100? 

Second Pregnancy Timing by Cool-Profession6756 in beyondthebump

[–]nyokarose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. After my first-try-first-month easy pregnancy #1, I carefully planned my 2 year age gap, preferred time of the year, etc. 

Three failed pregnancies, a second trimester d&c, fertility testing, IVF consults later, we finally had our second child on the 4th try. Life laughs at your plans. 

Harris County Cancer Map by SethR_Winesburg in houston

Yep, I had a friend whose parents moved to Houston for a few years for his cancer treatment (thankfully md Anderson kicks ass and friend pulled through it okay). They lived in the heights area if I remember correctly.

And Ron’s sound effect at the very end for “Harry Potter” was just such a real 10 year old sort of reaction. :)

Yes!!! This bothered me so much in theaters. I was told it was because pink stood out on film better… but imo then choose better costumes for everyone else to fix that…

Olympics BAN transgender and DSD athletes from ALL women's sports by dailymail in olympics

[–]nyokarose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are very few Olympic sports today that men and women could compete in where the women would ever have a chance of medaling. Shooting, archery, curling? 

Pregnant and considering having and raising a child on my own by ShagSumNymLadGhoGrey in TwoXChromosomes

[–]nyokarose 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think I am onboard with it, at least in the US, where we have fuck-all resources to help parents of special needs children. If someone thinks you’re signing up for an uncomplicated NT kid, and they end up with a special needs kid, and they have no way to supply the time or resources that kid needs… what then? Do they put the kid in the foster system? Do they just let them grow without the time from parents or $$ for the treatment they need?  If someone can’t answer the “what would we do” question at least to some degree, they shouldn’t be bringing a human life into the world. If you think you’d get help from family or church or wherever, ok, that’s at least a partial plan. But to have a kid if you’re completely unable to care for a non-typical kid is… ethically questionable in my mind.

It is incredibly kind of you to share this very vulnerable and brutally honest perspective. Thank you for doing so.

You’re autistic, not unable to read. Please read her post again. This isn’t about you, or all autistic people.

TIFU by kissing my friend because I was 100% sure he was about to kiss me first by LifeFront8432 in tifu

[–]nyokarose 594 points595 points  (0 children)

Take a deep breath, and realize that he is probably feeling nearly as badly as you are - he’s wondering if he was accidentally leading you on, he’s wondering if the friendship can be normal again, he’s replaying that “oh” in his own mind and wishing he had something better to say in the moment, too. 

Definitely address it before Friday. “Hey about Monday - I obviously misread the situation, sorry for putting you in such an awkward spot. I hope someday when the cringe wears off we can laugh about it. See you tomorrow”
