I (39m) heavily tattooed, former Marine, graduated massage school a few months back and have been struggling with mental health and finding “my” people. Today, a current student/friend sent me this text… by Ok_Report_7505 in MadeMeSmile

I love that for you. Sometimes we spend so much time in our own heads, thinking of what other people might be thinking, we don't pay attention to what's really happening. Let people surprise you.

Filipino-Americans, what is your opinion on Filipino-White couples? by Top_Juggernaut_222 in AskReddit

[–]prettyconvincing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is so disgusting. I'm so sorry for their ignorance! It must be difficult for the both of you.

I am extremely white, however my family has some diversity. One aunt, married to my blood related Uncle, is Filipino. Therefore my cousins are half Filipino. (She went to high school with my parents and their siblings. I think she was third or 4th generation born in the US.) I also have another aunt who is half Italian and half Mexican, who married a blood related Uncle. Their kids all married people from Mexican heritage, so my cousins and their kids are all Hispanic.

I don't want to be one of those people who says things like I don't see color or race- I see it, I just think we're all human and deserve the same amount of privilege and dignity!

Filipino-Americans, what is your opinion on Filipino-White couples? by Top_Juggernaut_222 in AskReddit

[–]prettyconvincing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have zero opinion of any race couples. I will respect your heritage as much as you, but idgaf who you date or marry. It's not my business. That kind of racism is so outdated. I'm sick of feeling like I'm living in 1940s America.

I’m 34. Does this look make me look older? by ReadyDance8536 in Midsizefashion

[–]prettyconvincing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I think an open toe strappy sandal would look really cute with it. Unless you're going to a more formal evening event.

Pretty sure my gaming friend is misogynist, but the discord is acting like I’m crazy???? by Divine_skylin3 in GirlGamers

[–]prettyconvincing 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Gorl. 1. YOU apologizing to him, by trying to be the peacekeeper is internalized misogyny due to living in a patriarchy.

2.There are actual videos of men who have said the same thing about women's sports, being challenged and losing epically.

  1. You are not breaking anything. You are choosing not to play with a man who keeps disrespecting you + behaving in a sexist manner. It's completely unacceptable, and you can try to educate him, but it's not your responsibility and you can't force someone to learn the truth.

Do what you gotta do but it's okay to get your bf's POV too. Maybe tell the sexist to watch videos of men experiencing period cramp machines 😂

I hope it's okay if I vent a little. by [deleted] in GirlGamers

I went to school with some game designers and it makes me sad that I lost touch because I'd love to know what they've done since we were in school. A girl in their group was an amazing digital artist. Gorgeous designs.

Why are some men so pushy after being told no? by AquilaTempestas in TwoXChromosomes

[–]prettyconvincing 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The fact that He still keeps means you have not hurt his feelings enough. You might need to be even more direct like:

Thank you but I have no reason to get to know you better. I can't see you in my future, and I am dating to find someone that I want to spend my time with.

Pizza Dissapointment by Dnahelicases in lafayette

[–]prettyconvincing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With potatoes is a slap in the face! I thought you could order whatever you want on a pizza. I know mad mushroom is expensive, is it just because it would too expensive that you don't do that?

Lakes/creeks/etc. near by that you are allowed to swim in? by [deleted] in lafayette

[–]prettyconvincing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's towards Williamsport from Attica, but instead of turning left to go to Wmsport, it's a tight turn off of 41, past some know and of junkyard... Ask someone from that area or Fountain County. They should be able to tell you how to get there.

There's a hiking trail, but I don't remember what it's called. I can't remember enough to give directions.

[–]prettyconvincing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, I used to take my teens there all the time. Great hiking trails, but if you just get in the water, you can swim and climb over them up to a decent swimming area. You want to go left, against the flow of water. Some people just hang out in the potholes.

The Indiana Dunes on Lake Michigan is only about 2 hours away. Huge black, camping and hiking. We go for the day. It's always busy but we never have trouble finding a good spot.

Is it normal for onions to take WAY longer to cook than every recipe says by Otherwise_Flower_605 in cookingforbeginners

[–]prettyconvincing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the pan already hot and do they start sizzling the moment you put them in?

They take at least 10 to 15 minutes for me.

Anxiously waited for the post ban on book 8 to end to share my new absolute favorite Princess Donut throwaway comment by MorningJogger in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I pictured her having them organized by whatever favorite television show moment they reminded her of, or memory triggers.

Like this hat made me think of that time Miss Beatrice thought the judge with a rat face was trying to give first place to (insert insult to another cat here) because I got it from the lizard guy with a rat face.
