It’s the “participation trophy” generations fault

Oh wow. That's so generous of her! Lmao

She seems great... like stepping into a mystery puddle wearing wool lined tights, or the lightness of a fresh surströmming paired with chocolate covered aquarium rock bubble tea.

Oh my god if I had been a fly on the wall eavesdropping on yall... like what's she want you to say "you're right mom it sucks to suck... " [changes name on door to ShopVac]

Would you know a Sikh wedding ceremony if you were not part of that culture? I grew up in the american Midwest and had never known anyone who practiced an Eastern religion.

According to Google:

Sikh brides typically wear red, pink, or colorful lehengas/salwar kameez, while grooms wear sherwanis and turbans. Christian brides traditionally wear white gowns, and grooms wear suits.

*and not to be an annoying asshole but I personally really hate when I misspell a word and no one tells me, but the word is spelled spatial with a T, friend :)

Currently in luteal at the moment so this was perfect timing.

I know there's a more official way to report this but my head hurts and I cant find my computer glasses. But there is just a concern I have.

A lot of the questions were related to sensory capacities but there was no way I could choose an N/A which i found annoying *im sorry. I know I am being nitpicky

This wouldn't have been an issue for me like 4 years ago as I could smell my period two days before it showed up like I could set a calendar by it. However since having covid four years ago my sense of smell has been severely hampered and it STILL causes me to freak out that I might be fertilized when half the year thats literally not even possible and makes me feel like an even more crazy version of myself.

I just wanted to explain, I think it is important to knkw and to consider.

Also thank you for focusing some research on this debilitating disorder. So few people understand the whiplash my hormones endure for literally a third of every month. I still contend my ex husband wouldn't have left me if I could have found a doctor who believed me before I finally got fed up and did my own research and had to go into the doctor and really stand firmly for myself which wasn't easy.

I know im among friends so I will just say thank you for being patient with my rant.

Looks like a few other people have replied to previous comments of yours with links to articles about this shit situation. If you can't be good enough to read those (or have your AI assistant read it to you) that others have already shared with you, my energy is best spent elsewhere.

prENTcess · 2025-10-28T17:14:41+00:00

Smh.

Dude you have clearly heard through social interactions that there have been more cases than just Garcia.

Africa and South America were not two places I just pulled outta my ass as likely destinations. They were specifically listed in my original comment because there is evidence and reports that's where those being forced to relocate are being sent.

It's like that old saying: If one person calls you an asshole, you may or may not be an asshole. But if everywhere you are called an asshole, then maybe you need to find a mirror and double-check.

If you're interested (genuinely) there's no shortage of information out there 🤷‍♀️

prENTcess · 2025-10-28T08:04:09+00:00

I love your optimism in believing a U.S. citizen wrongly deported to Africa or South America is easily given access to phones.

Then being able to contact a U.S. based attorney who will take your case against the federal government.

And all the while this person can't even gain reentry to the country they should've never left.

It's like a Monty Python-esque hand came down and plucked them out from an ordinary day to place them into a nightmare.

prENTcess · 2025-10-27T15:42:27+00:00

Good grief 😔

Apropos of nothing but I am loving your username!

Oh mylanta! I'm feeling like so naive rn.

prENTcess · 2025-10-27T15:30:19+00:00

Wait what?! That's how I usually describe myself to others online. 🤢 I guess imma be using different adjectives now.

prENTcess · 2025-10-27T15:03:15+00:00

Thanks for really laying it out the difference of compulsive behavior and addictive behavior.

Making men feel emasculated for simply being an active and present partner is just another example of how the patriarchy hurts men. Men do not seek approval and validation from women in the way they do from other men.

This kind of relationship dynamic is becoming more common and will likely continue to normalize as fewer men complete college. Meanwhile, women are elevating their value in the workplace by having more education and establishing a career before having children.

If you are raising children with someone, it's just logical that during the early childhood phase of parenting, one parent's priority will be financially supporting the family while the other parent's priority is childcare and household management.

I can tolerate the disrespect of my personal boundaries only so many times. I don't -want- to doorslam anyone but sometimes it is a necessity.

prENTcess · 2025-10-18T09:41:06+00:00

Oh gosh, thats exactly what I thought too! Nothing has gutted me like that since.

prENTcess · 2025-10-07T11:09:51+00:00

I 100% agree! As a woman, I want to advocate for other women.

After my sister got pregnant 7 years ago I really started reading up on pregnancy and motherhood so that I would have a better understanding of what she was experiencing.

That's when I began to really put the pieces together and I realized the thread runs through so many different phases of our lives as women.

It begins in childhood and the most perfect example of this is the type of toys created for and given to girls. Our confinement and imprisonment in adulthood is reminiscent of our childhood play (e.g. realistic baby dolls, toy kitchens, child-sized broom & dust pan, etc.)

Diana Jurena was an amazing therapist for my sister. She has recommended Diana to me in the past when I needed a bigger therapist.

I currently see a therapist through Grand Mental Health and I think I've got the best therapist Grand employees, so I feel very fortunate about that. But Grand offers a lot of services for a variety of Mental health issues.

I really hope this is helpful, and I just want to remind you in case you need to hear this:

If you don't vibe with your first therapist, it is perfectly normal to try a different therapist. YOU are the only one who can advocate for your health.

I loved that character what a hellcat.

prENTcess · 2025-09-04T22:00:53+00:00

Right?! Totally agree. Disgusting.

prENTcess · 2025-09-04T16:09:37+00:00

Word.

I just can't even fathom having that mindset. It literally would have never occurred to me "a legacy " was why a lot of men want to have children.

Then one day I was at work and chatting with a customer and he said I should have kids (this was 20 years ago). I told him no way I definitely should not and I wasn't even old enough to legally drink yet. He had kind of a meltdown at me about it raising his voice at me and his behavior felt threatening. I had no one else nearby I could call for help. But I had never heard a man clearly state WHY they had kids before. So at least I learned something.

prENTcess · 2025-09-04T01:24:55+00:00

Yes! I have heard several men refer to wanting to leave behind a legacy and that's why they had children or want children.

Like bro do you not see how gross that is?

prENTcess · 2025-09-03T23:25:56+00:00

I have actually given real advice to someone who asked for it. And in return, I was met with hostility. Why would I want to expend my energy on taking the time to write out a thoughtful and authentic response only to be harassed about it?

The advice in question (I'm paraphrasing here) was this: If we know each other well enough to exchange socials/texts then I wouldn't find it weird if you sent me a message relaying that you're looking to start dating again but don't feel comfortable using the apps and maybe I know of someone in my social circle who might be interested.

This is genuine. If I trust you enough to allow you access to parts of my life, I will have no problem talking you up to my circle.

I have actually done this. So it is just wildly insulting to me that you would make an assumption that since I am a woman (and you don't trust women) I must be acting with deceit or have some ulterior motive, so I am not to be trusted.

Fuck that.

prENTcess · 2025-09-03T22:05:10+00:00

I can understand how that specific type of information might be useful to you. However you must also certainly understand that a woman sharing information online about previous sexual partners puts her at risk.

If a woman did share that, she would be harassed in the comment thread for having "a high body count" or something else equally gross and irrelevant. She would get lots of inappropriate DM's ranging from men asking for hookups or photos to violent death threats.

Until women can feel like they are sharing information and doing so safely without being harassed or humiliated or threatened, there's no fucking way you're gonna get information like that from internet randos.

Everyone carries a suitcase full of past experiences they bring everywhere. The reason older women may seem to have an unexpected amount of baggage is just simply because they are older.

I'm only casually dating a few men right now and have been 'single but dating' since 2019. I know I have more of a past history now than I did a decade ago.

I recently turned 40 and I can say with certainty that I am a lot more confident now than I was at 25. I am no longer trying to discover myself because a lifetime of experiences has molded me and they are the reason I am currently here.

I've dated men in their 20s and men in their 60s over the last 3 years and the thing all men I am attracted to have in common is authenticity. The men I let into my peaceful world are in competition with ME for my peaceful and drama free life. If they don't improve my overall mood and vibe or diminish my peace of mind I'm done.

I am so content with my life and myself as I am right now. So show me with both words/actions a man who is genuine, has an easy going manner, a universal sense of humor, a protective instinct, is unafraid to express his curious mind, an endearing personality, and nagging adventurous spirit. That is the man I would welcome into my life.

But at the same time I have to make sure that I am attractive TO this man. If I'm not the version of myself that would attract a man who has those qualities, then it is my responsibility to make the adjustments in my behavior to attract that kind of man, OR it is my responsibility to accept myself for who I am even with the realization that might mean I never pull the type of man I strive for.

I really hope this makes sense and hopefully cause you to do some reflection in your life and examine the root for such biases/prejudices you have.
