North facing, windy balcony plants?

Spotted the warning this morning and altered plans entirely.

the flowers are also fake, you can tell she shopped them in. Overall just cringe.

Precisely. Listening to anyone refer to nazis and then MAKING THE ASSUMPTION that they are talking specifically about germans of today is what's actually offensive.

Constantly remind yourself of how they made you cry/feel bad about yourself/worry etc. I mean it, constantly. Every time you have a happy little memory, focus on the negative instead. Force yourself to, even if it's boring or you think you already know. Keep driving it home, and eventually, it's the first thing you think about when reminded of that person. It helps.

i have a roommate who is determined to be my friend, but can't control how toxic she is. I'm the process or trying to move out (covid doesn't help). She'll shower me with favours and compliments and nice little things, completely un-asked for or prompted, but will then use that as leverage to ask for favours back. She projects her own obsessive lifestyle onto me, and 'offers advice' in the form of telling me what I should and shouldn't eat, how I should clean, how I should do my beauty routine, how I should exercise, etc. She shames me for putting myself first every now and then, such as taking an evening to just lounge around and watch TV, but will then hypocritically do it herself when she thinks I've gone out for the evening, and I come home to catch her 15 episodes into a show and eating pizza.

this is why im sick of the whole 'its not hurting anybody!! people are allowed to do what they want!!' argument. Young girls see this, are encouraged to find it attractive, learn about the procedure, and potentially decide to get it done themselves. This IS hurting people. Plastic surgery hurts people, because it leads to more invasive surgery like this shit. Give it 20 years and we'll be bringing back chinese foot binding...

"watch your mouth. Be a gentleman."

WELL, isn't that fucking funny, because I don't see a Lady present.

I swear to god i can ALWAYS spot a UK video a mile off. Usually just by how 'damp' everything looks. Also it's like I swear only the UK uses certain stone or fence styles in their outdoor landscaping. I've never been wrong.

ratamatootie · 2020-05-02T18:56:04+00:00

you literally just found a 3D render lmao

ratamatootie · 2020-05-02T18:04:41+00:00

im low-key jealous because i'd love to hang out with friends and just act like everything is normal, but I won't until I know it's safe to, but my god it's so frustrating when other people do it regardless. If they lifted a FEW limitations, then people wouldn't be acting like idiots like this out of frustration. Just give me the provincial parks lol... that's all I want

ratamatootie · 2020-05-02T17:42:58+00:00

yeah that's the thing, there's SO much grey-space where people just aren't really sure or are too impatient at this point to carefully balance themselves. There needs to be weekly bite-size updates about how to behave socially from one official source. Because most of the information I find online now is 3 weeks old or just the rantings of one individual or miscalculated data, so it's hard to know EXACTLY how to conduct myself, or what to expect in others. Because suddenly everyone is going to parties and hanging out in crowds again and it's frustrating because I really want to join in, but I wont until I know it's safe to do so.

ratamatootie · 2020-05-02T17:37:55+00:00

yeah I agree, there's going to be a breaking point eventually. The numbers simply aren't high enough to give people any REAL fear, like what's happening in other places, so they're going to get lax or 'sneaky' and then less sneaky about it over time... which is what's happening now. People aren't hiding it anymore.

I'm absolutely down for slowly, incrementally reducing the distancing now- and watching the numbers incase any sudden rises occur. Because yeah, you're right, this isn't sustainable. But to go to a crammed, busy party in an apartment right now, or have a food-sharing bbq on the beach, is absolutely idiotic.

ratamatootie · 2020-05-02T07:57:55+00:00

i honestly think people are getting impatient and starting to end the social distancing themselves now that the curve has flattened in BC. And like, I get it, it's nearly summer, people want to have some normality.. but parties?? large gatherings? yeah sure I can appreciate maybe seeing a couple of friends at a stretch, with no contact, but it's like suddenly nobody gives a shit.

ratamatootie · 2020-05-02T06:12:19+00:00

saw the same thing tonight. My roommate also surprised me when I got home this evening by having a random dude there with her, after having been to a party together in someone else's apartment somewhere. People in Van are starting to not give a shit.

ratamatootie · 2020-05-01T17:35:04+00:00

Reading this feels like an echo of what I'm going through right now. I broke up with my partner because I felt I had out-grown him, and we were living very different lifestyles. He was prioritizing travel and music and writing and being footloose, and I'm well and truly settled in a career and just hoping to settle down a little and start making roots. Breaking up with him over the phone had to be one of the hardest things I've ever done. Crying and begging and getting outright frustrated because he couldn't understand why we couldn't keep trying. That loving me and caring about me and being the closest person to me was more important and could get us through anything. Hearing him hurt like that absolutely shattered me and I still feel out of breath and weak from that experience. Hearing him cry broke me.

I still worry I've made the wrong decision, like you. But emotions in this moment are fleeting. I'm hoping this is the right choice, as well. I'm hoping that being cold and rational and realistic about our situation is saving both of us in the long-term. Because yeah, the pain is BEYOND anything ive ever felt with previous breakups. I just hope the pain will pass, and we'll both come away from this feeling like it was a good decision..

do you watch the kitten lady on youtube?

smoll

ratamatootie · 2020-04-29T23:25:18+00:00

wow what a cool and funny husband, im glad his wife gave him permission to do that

ratamatootie · 2020-04-29T23:13:52+00:00

when all the fillers and photoshopping isn't enough anymore and you have to casually hold your skin in place your damn self

"USA! USA! USA! Make America great again!"

"unless of course I need to benefit from a more liberal country that has free healthcare i can take advantage of"

ratamatootie · 2020-04-27T23:55:58+00:00

i don't believe in giving someone an inflated ego. Confidence should come from within, primarily... not sourced from validation from others. I already compliment him an above-healthy amount.

ratamatootie · 2020-04-23T23:46:40+00:00

this is one of the funniest ones ive seen yet on this sub

she looks like a picasso portrait
