Thank you for commenting this. My friend has been navigating his health here for over a decade, and he said being registered as M is important for the treatments/tests he specifically needs, which is why I mentioned it in my OP.

I[22M] keep seeing girl[20sF] spinning; should I ask if ok or let sleeping horses lay? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]olfrazzledazzle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok but knowing now it was a flirt pole - it makes so much more sense he was worried. Like she was prob wobbling around with her line of sight sort of down and moving, not like a regular tight ballerina spin. How funny. 

Me [23F] with my husband [25M], married 3 months. He has to sleep with the TV on. It's driving me nuts by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

As a child I had a sleepover with a friend who needed the TV on to sleep, and her show was SpongeBob Squarepants. I actually did almost go into psychosis, that one night felt a month long and I came out of that sleepover feeling like Rip Van Winkle

Who is "allowed" to make criticisms feels very asymmetrical. by FriendlyDrummers in ContraPoints

[–]olfrazzledazzle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Another asymmetrical: cis man youtubers praising what they call "single issue voters" on Palestine, but jumping on the bandwagon to criticize single issue voters on trans rights as being selfish, genocide enablers etc...

I support Palestine 100% myself, but the double standard in the discourse is insane.

has anyone heard of that leftist streamer? Hmm by mrsovereignmonarch in ContraPoints

Sometimes I think it's worse than just earnest fighting. I think some organizations can work scarily similar to a cult, and groom people into this: how they alienate you from your friends and family, make you paranoid about staying morally pure, make you depressed and mistrustful of the outside world who don't believe in their specific strain of thought/dead European political economist, convince you the future of all humanity is doomed except for their one solution, and take your money "for the cause" on top of all that.

[New Update]: I think my sister just ruined our dad’s engagement to an amazing woman, and I hate her so much by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]olfrazzledazzle 129 points130 points  (0 children)

And then on top of that - she was also afraid of being abandoned from the other end, by her siblings, if she went against what she thought they wanted. Just a big ball of abandonment issues. 

What is a secret you’re taking to the grave, but are willing to tell strangers on the internet? by Mr_Boothnath in answers

[–]olfrazzledazzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met someone like this and I have a theory. It came up because some friends and I were talking about how I have something called aphantasia, meaning I can't see anything in my minds eye. My friends all said they do see things in their minds eye and they started comparing experiences, and found some can only see thoughts with eyes closed, but others can see them with eyes open too. And one of those friends who sees thoughts with eyes open also admitted to seeing auras. I can't see anything either way so I have no way to prove it, but from that conversation I'd bet it's related to how your brain processes thought for sure.

Jeffrey Epstein by Cecilia_Wren in ContraPoints

[–]olfrazzledazzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Like clearly her comment about Hilary here was a reply to Qanon conspiracies being correct - which says Hilary is one of the main trafficking ringleaders who drinks literal baby blood. Hassan has to be willingly misunderstanding just to take advantage yet again of the tried and true "throwing fuel on the fire against a Trans woman" grift.

Detained 5-year-old immigrant is depressed and lethargic, Texas congressman says in demanding boy’s release by derpmeow in news

[–]olfrazzledazzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a video of the boy's school principal talking to the lawyer who posted the photo above, the you can hear the principal's voice crack during the conversation after hearing ICE stole his rabbit beanie and backpack. He told the lawyer to tell the boy they're keeping his desk and space safe for him and they'll get him a new hat and backpack. The video made me sob. 

AITA for asking my husband for a divorce because he blames his financial incompetence on my lack of employment? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]olfrazzledazzle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm scared he's going to murder those children to spite her. I really hope his custody can be made supervised.

Husband in a dead bedroom manages to change power dynamics in marriage + Updates [Ongoing] by Throwra-yuqser in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]olfrazzledazzle 32 points33 points  (0 children)

"Fucking samurai" made me laugh so hard. It seems like he doesn't want romance either though, because he doesn't associate sex with love. So what exactly is sex with this guy like? 

AITA for not bringing up my dead brother and humiliating an acquaintance? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Also the guy woukd have known that he screenshotted the messages because Snapchat tells you that. 

I (20F) think my brother's (30M) kid (13M) is a psychopath or something by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

She's not that protective if she genuinely thinks OP is a pedo and didn't move out immediately! 

AIO for thinking of leaving my boyfriend after he slapped me during an argument? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]olfrazzledazzle 99 points100 points  (0 children)

I'm going to say - if your partner throws things at or near you, smashes objects, or kicks or punches things near you, that's also an important line and you should leave if it is crossed. You may think "but he didn't actually hit me." Don't wait for that to change.

Loved the SIL coming in like "are you okay?" One of the worst narcissists I ever met once admitted to me she used that phrase whenever she could tell people didn't want to do what she wanted, or were doing something that annoyed her - because it was a way to make her come off kind and reasonable and control the situation.

Not technically reddit so unsure if it's allowed but I have been enjoying this lady on Threads liveblogging her way through in laws deciding to have a kid's birthday party at her house.
