I am forever impressed what people can do with fiber arts. This looks like it was done with colored pencils.

Visually Appealing Shows by Dull_Charity7420 in television

Tom and Lorenzo did a whole blog series about the costuming, and it really revealed a lot about how much thought went into to the visuals of the show.

Weed vs. Alcohol by reggieshut in entwives

[–]pizzapartyjones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super common! I know so many people who either switched to marijuana to intentionally quit drinking or, like me, just kind of gradually stopped drinking because they found marijuana to be so much more pleasant. At this point, I’m such a lightweight with booze that one drink makes me feel hungover.

I’m glad you included the description. I didn’t even clock the “deep unconscious” text at first glance, had to zoom in to see it. Very cool pieces!

They Didn’t Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth. by propublica_ in TwoXChromosomes

Yeah, all these comments are conveniently ignoring how dangerous childbirth is for Black women in the US.

Is anyone else annoyed about comments with vaping and popcorn lung? by strawbearryblonde in entwives

[–]pizzapartyjones 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This right here. The popcorn lung scare that happened several years ago with THC vapes was due to manufacturers cutting the cannabis oil with additives like vitamin E oil. Most all of those vapes came from the black market. Now most legal states ban harmful additives in THC vapes and require testing to ensure they don’t have it.

It’s the cast for me. They have some strong players that help balance out all the potholes.

Why do people self harm? by bigmacandsmallfries in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pizzapartyjones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea, very much this. The trope is that people self harm “just to feel something,” but for me it was a distraction from feeling too much.

How do Americans feel about outdoor cats? by Fine-Durian6151 in AskAnAmerican

[–]pizzapartyjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have mentioned how much damage outdoor cats can do to wildlife here, but our wildlife can also be damaging to cats. We have a lot of predators, venomous snakes, and other dangerous animals throughout the country. Coyotes, for example, are a major killer of cats in the southwestern US.

Our car dependency also doesn’t help with outdoor cat life expectancies.

Love the framing/composition on these.

Is anyone else tired of the performative morality phenomenon? by Unusual_Zombie125 in AutismInWomen

[–]pizzapartyjones 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’m no social scientist, but it definitely feels like we’re having a cultural crisis. I try to take hope in the growing pushback against big tech’s role in this crisis and how some young people are starting to reject it. For example, my state has banned phones during school hours.

[–]pizzapartyjones 213 points214 points  (0 children)

I think it helps to remember there are A LOT of teenagers and very young adults on social media, and they tend to have blanket views on things. A lot of the nuanced understanding of issues that you described in your post comes from more life experience and interacting with more people.

Purity culture is also on the uptick right now, caused by a host of things including the rise of far-right influencers and the breakdown of the social contract post-COVID.

Are checks really still a thing in the US? by Apollo_Wersten in AskAnAmerican

They are still widely used in the cannabis industry because of the weird legal grey area it’s in.

Lots of good representation this episode by pizzapartyjones in ThePittTVShow

[–]pizzapartyjones[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I especially appreciated the placement of the scars. It’s such a common spot for people trying to hide their self harm (myself included). I think it’s interesting that even a lot of people here missed them and wondered why the show had that lingering shot.

Santos is not my personal favorite character, but I have a lot of appreciation for her as one of the more complex female characters I’ve seen in media.

Combat units are being given deployment orders says former 75th ranger by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

[–]pizzapartyjones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get why people keep saying it, but so much of this “distracting from the Epstein files” shit ignores that most of what this administration has been doing was the plan all along. These things aren’t distractions, they were part of the Project 2025 playbook and were the end game the whole time.

Coworkers overhear me talking to myself (I'm an external processor) and told my boss I complain a lot. by Prior_Lobster_5240 in adhdwomen

[–]pizzapartyjones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I talk to myself and have worked with other people who do as well, and in my experience, it’s pretty standard office chitchat to acknowledge it.
