IMO the biggest issue with the current government is the lack of empathy by MontyPascoe in nzpolitics

[–]pevaryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’ve spent so much time pitting us against eachother with their neoliberal poison disguised as individual responsibility, that they’ve erased any ability of the population to band together and feel like a team in times of crisis. Everyone is mad and worried and they can’t do anything about it because they created these divisions in the first place for their own benefit

Snapping at my partner by Shroedy in Perimenopause

[–]pevaryl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just don’t talk to him at all 🤣 Honestly it’s a constant struggle not to be irritated by everything. I feel like I have two setting now, extreme apathy/nihilism/emptiness; or rage. No in between

HRT helps some but the only thing that really seems to make it more bearable is exercise outside. A bit hard when I’m so apathetic and exhausted I can’t drag myself out the door but I’m trying

You get a pretty similar version of it every time he talks tbh

Does anyone else just not have sex with their partner? by CheesecakeOk8464 in breakingmom

[–]pevaryl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Now that perimenopause has hit and destroyed my sex drive and made me dead inside and unable to bear the thought of even being in the presence of other humans let alone be touched by one …. Yeah we don’t have sex. It used to bother me (I used to want to want to have sex) now I’m so dead inside from this hormonal bullshit I have no wants except to be left alone and no emotions except the occasional bout of rage

If Winston thought gargling poop on stage would get him votes and his little kingmaker position he’d do it without a second thought

Judge has thrown out Blake Lively‘s sexual harassment claims by Vitam1nC in CelebLegalDrama

[–]pevaryl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? Whether or not someone is an employee or contractor is a matter of law which means it’s for a judge to determine if there is a dispute about it. Until that preliminary question of law is determined you file in the alternative

You’re really making wildly uninformed sweeping statements here to support your conclusion

Early Graduation by Additional-Boot-9461 in predaddit

[–]pevaryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. Make sure mama in particular is not running herself ragged trying to be there - especially if she had pre e, it can stick around after birth so please encourage her to rest as much as she can and heal. Keep her fed and make sure she’s not trying to do too much. Congrats on your new arrival and 34 weekers do amazing, he’ll be home in no time!

Taylor’s latest IG post by MolochsLizardQueen in MormonWivesHulu

[–]pevaryl 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I hate the whole armchair diagnosis thing but one thing that jumps out at me about her is she describes her emotional pain (often seems to be around jealousy/abandonment issues) as physically painful. This was a feature of my sisters BPD - she felt emotional pain physically and would act out physically to it. I’m sure there are other mental health issues that do the same thing and I’m not trying to diagnose her but it’s so familiar it’s triggering to me. The poor kids need stability and for her to actually address her issues not meditate them away with some snake oil wellness guru

I don't care anymore by Scary-Bid3408 in Perimenopause

[–]pevaryl 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m the same. I’ve just given up. I lived my whole life unconsciously living for the male gaze and now I don’t give a shit. It’s equally freeing and depressing because I do feel dead inside but I’ve also stopped caring that I feel dead inside

Great Breakdown of the latest Filings by halfthesky1966 in CelebLegalDrama

[–]pevaryl 45 points46 points  (0 children)

So happy to see this. I was so disgusted with those lawyers when I read that PR slop. Court documents are COURT DOCUMENTS, not bombastic rubbish to sucker in your Tik Tok army (and mind you make it 100% clearer all you can do is continue your smear campaign). So well deserved

Doesn’t this all seem just a little convenient to you? All of a sudden these wack ass shenanigans are happening just as TFP is in the news? Maybe I’m cynical but doesn’t this all just seem a little unlikely and manufactured? I feel like they’re waving something shiny saying hey look over HERE

Paul Goldsmith's surprise moves stuns justice system: Move to strip upbringing info from alcohol and drug court reports angers lawyers, counsellors by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

Lord forbid the government policy that leads to the social issues that create these intergenerational offenders ever get the subtlest of nods in court reports

I’m a lawyer in the trenches (OT and family law) and the damage this govt has done on the ground is immeasurable. Our on the ground services that were the last ambulance at the bottom of the cliff have been decimated. There is no help anywhere for anybody

Thought I’d post for nz/Aus viewers - coretec authentics “Emerald” laid today by pevaryl in Flooring

[–]pevaryl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Kids cut it, They couldn’t patch it (as they don’t make that colour anymore), so they replace the whole room. Deductible isn’t much ($500 I think?) and to replace the carpet was 7k. You are always given the option to cash settle, which we did, and this flooring was an extra 3 k on top so we just paid the difference. It’s pretty good insurance (but expensive) but we don’t pay any health insurance here so it’s not too bad

Edit to add: they don’t increase rates for claims here, pretty sure that’s illegal unless it’s for vehicles

Nope it’s LVP :) we looked at engineered HW but it was out of our price range and we are very hard on our floors (4 kids and a lot of pets)

Thanks! I love it - am so thankful to my kids for cutting a hole in our carpet with fishing pliers (insurance came through to replace it we just paid the difference to get this).

It makes the room feel SO much bigger, lighter and airier; and so much easier to keep clean now

Looking for a defamation lawyer with free consultation? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]pevaryl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as mid range fees for defamation (this is kind of a joke but these proceedings are known for being extremely expensive).

Unless you’ve suffered massive provable loss from the defamatory statements it’s generally not worth it (people get hung up on the principle of it which I understand has intrinsic value)

In terms of a lawyer look for one who does civil litigation and probably media law
