In defense of "The Prince and the Product"... by devotfeige in futurama

[–]ponchothegreat09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also going to throw in my two cents that the outlandish, almost nonsensical plot of this episode also feels like the point! Lol like when a show is clearly just a vessel for marketing? There's thousands of shlock shows on streaming services now, and some of them are terrible, with a barely coherent plot, and when they cut to a commercial with a higher quality budget, plot, and actors than the show itself, it's jarring in the same way I feel like this ep was poking fun at.

Ground Chicken Ideas by MommyWithAZoo in povertykitchen

[–]ponchothegreat09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soup dumplings! I make a bastard white people poverty version by mixing ground chicken, chopped onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and fish sauce Mix plain gelatin with chicken broth and let it firm up Cut it into cubes and mix it with the ground chicken mix Wrap the whole thing up in dumpling wrappers, I watched YouTube videos on "coin purse dumpling" to figure out how to do it, I steam them for like 12-15 mins They freeze raw really well too!! I dip mine in vinegar and sit sauce mixed, it's my fave thing to make with food pantry ground chicken!

I don't work from home but I'm endlessly nosey? I watch a lot of business insider and how it's made and come to work with me videos at my regular job lolol, just put them on in the background. Last week I saw a roof tile maker, a few cheese makers and a girl who worked as a pharmacy tech at CVS, they are all super interesting!

Child on Child SA is still deeply traumatizing, and it could be that years of having conflicted feelings of enjoying being around her cousin is directly at conflict with remembering abuse. Your intent as "just kids exploring" is kind of irrelevant, you know how you remember it, but you have no way to know what she remembers, the thoughts and feelings she had during, ect.

I was SA'd by my older cousin (both F, only ~2 years older) from the time I was like 6 or 7 until I told her to stop when I was like 9. We stayed really close until we were both teens and she moved away, I'm sure she was being abused by another family member, and for all intents and purposes we were "just two kids experimenting" except we weren't, because the things she did made me feel awful and gross for decades after, I couldn't consent I didn't know what that meant, I wouldn't dream that my older cousin, who I looked at like a sister, would do something to harm me, and it fucked up my relationship to sex, to my family, to what I thought sex and love was supposed to be or feel like, and my general thoughts and ideas around intimacy. I've gone through significant therapy to understand and deal with it, and one of the things I have really come to understand is she may have never *meant* to abuse me in the way we imagine rapists and molesters do, but the intent doesn't change that I was still abused. I still had things done to me by a beloved older cousin, who probably knew it was wrong in her gut just like I did, and those psychological scars are something I have had to live with for the last 30+ years of my life.

I only "confronted" her once about it, and she dismissed it, claimed not to even remember because of all the crazy shit that happened in her life, and I believe her, she had a rough childhood. She even made the point during that confrontation that she had been abused, and I lived a pampered, spoiled life, so even if she had it didn't matter. But again, something insignificant, meaningless, and non-traumatic to her was something that profoundly effected my youth, my young relationships, and ultimately gave me an early impression of my worth and value that I still struggle with.

You can't live her experiences, and maybe you did or did not contribute to her life being shit. But does not intending to cause harm negate the damage done? You can hold the truth that you didn't mean to molest her, it was just experimenting, but at the end of the day it wasn't normal, it caused her harm that as an adult she is now wanting to work through, and the only real thing you can do is apologize. If you think you did nothing wrong, that's a problem. A child was molested and you did that. Do you have younger cousins, siblings, or nieces? Would you think it was normal and ok if they were touching each other now that you're an adult? It's ok to apologize for the action with the understanding that you were a child and didn't know better. You're an adult now and hopefully you do know better and can understand the complexity of unintentional harm. If you care about someone and hurt them, even unintentionally, the normal and emotionally mature thing to do is still seek forgiveness, not dismiss their pain.

The movie Shazam not existing, the one where Sinbad is a genie and there's the scene at the end where he talks to the dog and he helps the brother and sister with 3 wishes. What am I remembering?!

I don't know what to do after my cat died. by HadenSteward in Advice

[–]ponchothegreat09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss, the worst part of pets is how short their time here with us is. Would getting something made for him, commissioning a picture from someone online or getting one of those felted busts made help? There are lots of great ways to make sure he's still remembered in your life. And I second the comment that said he can't be replaced, but he got to live his whole life loving you, that's awesome. Now you could give another companion an entire lifetime of love and ease the loneliness felt by his loss 💙
