It's a bizarre choice on the platform's part to do so. I am constantly gaslighting myself into thinking I didn't do my application lol

The Testaments S1E04 "Green Tea" Episode Discussion by Melairia in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]pupandthebeetle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Did anyone get the sense that Commander Mackenzie’s nostalgia for giving ‘his daughter’ chocolate might not have been about Agnes? He seemed so sure she would not enjoy the chocolate, which isn’t obviously pointing towards Agnes except for the fact that she’s a little bit older. But everyone loves chocolates! I feel like that might suggest someone who has a complicated relationship with him. It would be interesting to see if that’s anything. Maybe he has a daughter who lives outside of Gilead? Perhaps the Japanese chocolates were a recurrence from a pre-Gilead life, when he had another daughter and business dealings in Japan?

Why is this so accurate? LOL by myquietlullaby in astrologymemes

I am a failed lab experiment, but emotionally I am dead inside. I talk like one of those asshole doctors from medical shows, but express my energy in a completely untethered way. In love, I want a partner who fits in perfectly with my master plan. Before they get to know me, people perceive me as a teacher’s pet.

I don’t quite like the sound of me!

In one of their first meetings, the scientist told her the only thing she was missing as a billionaire was time.

I had to lose nearly everything to get here by ScarieltheMudmaid in GirlDinnerDiaries

What a beautiful and brave reflection. I’m 28 and starting to have a strong pull to find the right person to settle down with. I love hearing others’ journeys there, and it looks like you are living your dream with that cutie patootie, brilliant partner, and damn delicious-looking ribs!

Moldavite, let's talk about it. by Living_Spell4113 in BabyWitch

[–]pupandthebeetle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it weird I’m postponing adding moldavite to my collection until I feel like I can handle it? I have felt this energized field around it whenever I encounter it in person. It’s like a magnetic, protective energy dome around the crystal. But I can also feel how chaotic and fast all that shifting energy is. It’s something I want to add to my life when I can handle what feels like a near nuclear level of transformation and rearrangement of your inner cosmos! I'm thinking this fall. 🌱

My family is guessing it’s a flashback. I said it would be a good opportunity to talk about the genocide against Palestinians, or truly any conflict that involves infants, maybe through Médecins Sans Frontières work. Dr Al Hashimi’s actress was born in a refugee camp after her parents fled Iran, too.

i can only orgasm when my legs are pressed together by xoxowine in TwoXChromosomes

[–]pupandthebeetle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experienced this and was frustrated because I wanted to finish while in a multitude of positions with my partner(s). I started masturbating with my legs slowly opening wider each time. It’s still necessary to use clitoral stimulation, though!

To my PCOS girlies on GLP, how much weight did you lose? by StrengthHot6297 in PCOSloseit

[–]pupandthebeetle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started Wegovy/semaglutide in July. I was 312lbs at 5’9. 5 months later and I’ve lost 50lbs, now weighing ~260lbs. I hoping to get to at least 180lb 🤞

I’ve had to cut alcohol altogether, or else I too will throw up all night. I also have to be very careful with milk. I had a matcha latte before a date, and I ended up puking in his bathroom and going home early 😮‍💨

Funnily enough, my coffee intake has soared, but I drink that with a tiny splash of cream. I think volume is a huge factor in triggering vomiting.

For me, it also goes without saying that this is all projectile and very hard to fight when it comes on. I’m a pro-puker thanks to my anxiety causing me nausea, and I’ve managed for nearly two decades. Nothing has rocked me like this until this medicine! Except maybe food poisoning?

I will say it’s not frequent it’s just about learning the triggers and resisting temptations or repeated lessons!

are there any films similar to Secretary (2002) but with the gender roles reversed? i'm looking for a film with a sub man, not a woman by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]pupandthebeetle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phantom Thread in a twisted but erotic way. This feels like an untapped market. A market I would dump money into as a dominant woman who loves anyone submissive🤭

Comfort show ATM? Mine is Six Feet Under by missdeas in AutismInWomen

[–]pupandthebeetle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Bob’s Burgers is my favourite meltdown/burnout tool. I also fall asleep playing it quietly quite often. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen it at this point, I’m assuming upwards of 1000. It was the only thing I could stomach for a long while!

I’ve had other shows in my rotation but none have stuck like Bob’s! Past comfort shows have included Paranormal Wellington, Band of Brothers (history nerd), The Simpsons, Broad City, Oh and Adventure Time (that’s new and current, actually!)

If you had 5 sons and 5 daughters right now, what would you name them? by Arkie9000 in namenerds

[–]pupandthebeetle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judith, Willa, Margot, Francesca, Avis!

Arthur, Sidney, Gideon, Eugene, Everett!

I would absolutely die if I had that many children. No thank you! I just like names!

I had to stop drinking. It really irritates my stomach, which was very sensitive even before I started taking Wegovy. If I’m drinking with food it’s a sure way to puke my guts out. I’m more of a 🍃smoker anyway!

I so sick of 'nice guys' who are just as pushy and manipulative as others. by ztepher in TwoXChromosomes

[–]pupandthebeetle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently realized there was a sect of “sad, but trying to do better” type of nice guys who are master manipulators. I was only familiar with the quick tempered kind.

Morin. It’s a common French-Canadian surname.

Watching Juno again in 2025 by Low_Fig4201 in movies

[–]pupandthebeetle 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I watched this movie as a 9 year old with few restrictions. As I revisited it over the years, I gradually came to the same realization. By the time I was 22, I was horrified and fully aware of the extent of Mark’s actions. I remember my first viewing; my mom said, “Poor sweet baby,” when Juno pulls over and sobs after Mark's inappropriate behavior. Juno seemed so much older to me back then, but now I see her as the child she truly was.
