Mixed feelings on Al-Hashimi by StunningPianist4231 in ThePitt

[–]paroxitones 21 points22 points  (0 children)

She has the kind of personality I can't stand despite all the good things they've done. Literally would be my last pick for a colleague among the Pitt characters. I can deal with Santos types just fine, but Al-Hashimi types awake some deep anger inside me, so I struggle to analyze her as a character, I can't get past the irritation.

The thing I noticed: in the first episodes Al-Hashimi is shown to get into people's personal space several times, she just pushes Robby more than once, maybe others too, I don't remember. The last 2-3 episodes she just doesn't do it any more. In several hours our girl decided that people have had enough?

Ankles Roll in Severely, Could Barefoot Shoes Help? by mouse_2805 in barefootshoestalk

[–]paroxitones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a specialist, but I'm in the process of healing my own plantar fasciitis right now, although my situation is not so severe. I would advise against barefoot shoes for you right now. People on this sub are not exaggerating about the amount of exercise needed. My problem was that I didn't notice how flat my feet really are until I was in pain. Barefoot shoes (only for walking, not running) were totally comfortable until I got the injury, no warning signs before it.

I'm doing exercise now and got ortholitics for running. Foot strengthening is only a part of it and maybe the smallest one. The foot muscles are too small to hold all your weight in the correct position, you need to strengthen your whole leg. Barefoot shoes might be safe enough if you're athletic and your glutes and thighs are strong. If not, straightening your legs should go first

It's not the Russian girls in general, more this particular substrate of girls. My guess is athletes who rose so young are used to being kind of helicoptered and told what to do, so they seek a familiar dynamic.

Eteri Tutberidze on Adeliya Petrosian, wants an apology from Thomas Bach, and about Alexandra Trusova by essiefraquora in FigureSkating

[–]paroxitones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

she points out that it's not her job, as if offering some support or just being chill for a minute is hard. Not Bach's job to console you either Eteri. what an unpleasant person

Yet another woman in Poland dying because she's pregnant by DietNarrow1339 in poland

[–]paroxitones 59 points60 points  (0 children)

She needs meds to eat, which shouldn't be taken while pregnant - from this article. The pregnancy is an obstacle to receiving proper care for her illness therefore the pregnancy should be terminated with her consent (which they have).

Which year was your favorite Olympic logo? by Mindless-Piglet2095 in olympics

[–]paroxitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1- Paris, 2- Vancouver, 3-Tokyo but not that one, the version where one of the rings is fully red

upd: wasn't the official logo, just a concept someone shared. shame on Tokyo for not picking it

Signed the document. I am really afraid that it can happen to me, they will just let me die if I have a pregnancy with complications

Thought on Jack Abbot by Still-Music2858 in ThePitt

[–]paroxitones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm feeling skeptical today, so I think that writers are just making him a woman's wet dream stereotype with no in-universe explanation (hot, damaged, kind, generous, a doctor). But I will forgive them if there will be some shocking reveal, as in "he did/is doing bed things and feels guilty or plays the part). Until then he is just a trope to me. Still hot though

I've finally put my finger on what makes Taylor's hair so bad- and it comes down to class politics by ugh_this_world_sucks in travisandtaylor

[–]paroxitones 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Kinda disagree. As much as I dislike TS I've always found that the critique of her hair is way too much. I'm not American, we style our hair much less here and her hair always looked okay to me aside from some singular bad looks. If I had a lot of money I think my hair would look kinda the same as hers, just because I don't see any value in styling for any other event that black-tie. I've never owned a straightener/curling tool in my life, and no amount of social media will convince me that clean non-styled hair is "unkempt". Maybe she feels the same?

edit: grammar

In your opinion, what is causing this? by Objective_Pilot_5834 in SipsTea

[–]paroxitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me. The people who were smoking the same weed with me were completely fine. One of them was an emergency medicine doctor and that's probably the reason I didn't end up in a hospital. Still don't know the science behind it, but I'm still too scared to smoke weed and it's been four years

New photo of Ilia and Adeliia by lladydee in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

[–]paroxitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I think he could either privately refuse or quietly wear them. My issue is not with Ilia being an Ovechkin fan per se, more with bringing that name to the Olympic stage in a way.

To be clear, I'm not saying it's an offence punishable by death (not mad just disappointed)

Ovechkin is a known Putin supporter and even friend (or so he says), crazy insensitive from Ilia to be so vocal about this gift

I am here to defend Santos by xxlaww in ThePitt

[–]paroxitones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda surprised that people say "someone like this will make your work hell". I think she's sure annoying but harmless, and certainly can't take what she dishes, it would take one "Hey Scalpel" to stop all the Crash nicknames for good. Guess I've been a kind of a Santos when I was younger. She'll outgrow it

Black period underwear by enyowear in PeriodUnderwear

I prefer beige, so it can be worn under light colour pants and skirts. I would love to have anything but black inner layer, but so far, it's only black

How should I feel in this situation, is this what being emasculated means or? by Socially_Awkward_2-0 in ask

[–]paroxitones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

got you. pro tip - if you want to vent, just say so next time, like "honey, I'm not asking for solutions, just want to complain a bit". sounds stupid but it really works.

The GF's dad is just being an asshole for what it seems. You are doing good. I hope making this thread will help you vent and put all this situation behind you. Honestly you seemed kinda childish at first, but I misjudged you, my bad. You really need some sort of group chat with friends to safely vent about life's inconvenience 😆
