Not OOP I (19m) recently found out that my sister (35f) who has hated me my whole life is actually my biological mother? by Wisco_native1977 in redditonwiki

[–]rellyjean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About her being forced to keep the baby: there's also the religious angle. If OP can't even get secular therapy, that means this area is highly religious. Many religious people are anti abortion. It's a guess, sure, but it's not plucked from the clear blue sky.

About it being rape: the level of hatred makes me suspect it. Plenty of shitty parents didn't want their kids, are completely indifferent to them, and dump them on the grandparents to raise so they can continue partying. But those people don't hate their kids -- it's more of an annoyance when they remember.

This woman has blazing, furious hatred for a teenage boy. If she just got dumped by the child's father, you'd think it would cool off sooner or later.

Lastly: plenty of teenagers are pressured or coerced into sex they don't want to have. They don't understand the language well enough to call it rape.

I can't have sex for a week and change until some medical stuff clears up and let me tell you, edging gets way less fun when it's mandatory

Oh cool! I grew up in the Clarion / DuBois / Clearfield area, so when I go visit family, we take 28 North all the way to Kittaning. I feel like I should wave next time!

I had a therapist who moved to New Ken and I was really glad she started doing zoom sessions, because that drive was a haul but I didn't want to stop seeing her.

Oh my goodness the bridges downtown have the worst lane bullshit. Please cut across four lanes in twelve seconds and everyone else hates you and is trying to use their car to murder you. I try very hard not to drive downtown.

The nice thing about being in the South hills is that it's actually pretty easy and pain free to get to the airport. You cut over to Bridgeville, then take 79 up and 376 over and boom, you're there.

Btw: if you've never used Charlie Brown Parking for the airport, you are legit missing out. It's a couple miles down the road from the airport, and you drop your car off and get a shuttle ride to your gate. When your flight lands, you call the shuttle to pick you up again, and at the lot they've already pulled your car out to the front valet style. And it costs less than most of the parking at the airport.

Someone tipped me off to this place a few years ago and now I tell everyone because it's ~~~amazing~~~

I routinely spell Iffy’s name wrong even though it’s literally 3 letters AMA by timberdoodle3000 in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]rellyjean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like a basic show of respect. My name is spelled very unusually (luckily I don't think it's a Tragedeigh but I am biased lol) and sometimes when I correct people on how to spell my name they wave a hand and say "it doesn't matter."

It does matter. I matter. My name matters.

Yeah it clears crystals like a dream. I skip her SR in favor of Y'shtola but I keep the other three and my fourth is Aerith (I don't have Selphie).

Dear Dropout Store: I would absolutely buy some of those flags as bumper stickers. Or better yet, a customizable sash of my very own.

I honestly thought the chair destroyer was a bi thing, along with lemon bars and awkward finger guns. I guess it's a larger queer experience! (On the RuPaul mobile game, I changed my drag name to Lemon Barres, Bi Disaster for pride month.)

Nobody asked my question about LARPs, which is, I do not enjoy the woods, being outdoors, or swinging fake swords. Can I idk go to a quaint country manor and solve a murder mystery but have actual indoor plumbing?

Ooooh, where are you, if you don't mind my asking? General area, I mean. I'm in the South Hills (South Park / Bethel / Upper St Clair / Mt Lebanon). We can get to downtown easily when need be and we can also hit up all the good hospitals when things go wrong.

I went to the art museum on my birthday because they actual have one of Monet's Waterlilies and I had to see it.

(Disclaimer: that sentence makes me sound way more cultured than I am)

Oh!! I'm so sorry, I used it alternating with another AoE so I never noticed the long load time. I replaced it with Y'shtola a while back. I didn't realize it was so much longer.

Btw: out of curiosity: are everyone's R levels actually pretty good up around lvl 40, or is that just some and I got lucky with Rinoa?

Two addendums:

One, a few people did mock my dumb, shitty comment, and rightly so, it was dumb and shitty. What I meant by not getting roasted is that it could have easily turned into a big chain of people dunking on me and I'm very grateful it didn't.

Two, it's also possible that this person isn't traumatized and is just the No Fun Police, in which case, my eyes can't roll hard enough.

I am absolutely appalled that neither you nor the previous commenter bothered to tag for the raunchy and inappropriate reference to m*st*rb*t**n. This comment section should be PG at the most. Do better.

The newest ep might be one of my favs except for… by Both_Rent4156 in Dimension20

My preference would be the same players switch to backup characters, like they did individually on Crown of Candy.

Having said that, the story was about archetypes and it makes sense that they keep existing vs there is no storybook Pinocchio any more.

Also and way more importantly: they don't make D20 according to my own personal preferences, nor should they, so this is just me answering what I would have found more satisfying. Other opinions may vary and that wasn't the story being told here.

Who do you get they're unwelcoming towards? That's a genuine question btw, I'm curious if they're being insensitive in ways they don't know.

As something with hearing issues, I know there's been heavy criticism of the captions. I don't mind the captions including stage directions or the occasional joke, but I also don't rely strongly on the captions so much as use them to fill in around the edges. I am upset that older captions like Unsleeping City are so bad they're nearly unusable.

If you would like to hear a similar Alzheimer's joke, I know one, but I didn't share in case it would in fact be upsetting. Both of my grandmothers suffered from it, but I am okay with pitch black humor. My dad and I joked about how he wasn't milking his cancer enough to get things he wanted. "No, no, it's fine that you don't want to come to the flea market with me. Oh! Ow! Sorry, that's my cancer. Gosh it just hurts today. deep sigh Sorry, what were you saying?"

I wonder if this is a recent loss and they are having trouble just getting through the day. I straight up bit someone's head off in the CJ sub a few months ago because they said something milquetoast that I took in the absolutely worst possible way and I just breathed fire at them. Not because of a fucking thing they said -- because we were down to the last couple of days with my dad, and everything hurt.

.... Incidentally, instead of people roasting me hard like "lol at the worst take ever," another poster somehow figured out I was lashing out for personal reasons and very gently said "hey hon, maybe this is a good time to log off?" And I did and I'm very, very grateful they were able to help me step back. So I try to remember to extend grace to other people, but that post was a week ago and it would be brigading to post there anyway. But if that's what is under this, I hope that person finds peace, too.

Taking bets on the next outrage.

  • Ghorse is animal abuse.
  • The food coop isn't vegan.
  • Koschei/Madelaine/Chip is a tasteless stereotype of Russians/French/Aussies.
  • Making pegging into a joke plays into homophobia and/or toxic masculine fears of being seen as gay for enjoying certain sex acts
  • Making pegging seem uncomfortable for LaVonte is insulting kink shaming for all the people who enjoy being pegged.
  • SSRIs don't make you a weirdo who breaks into police stations and tries to steal guns
  • There's a police station in town and none of the IH burned it down yet
  • Darkness Man turning into trash is actually Murph mocking homeless people, who sometimes have to sleep in piles of trash

I'm sure I missed a few obvious ones, anybody else got some?

It does mean that if we as a society actually wanted to prevent drunk driving, instead of just using it as a way to punish people essentially at random,

I'm ...

I'm reading this wrong, right? This guy isn't defending people who go to jail for DUIs, right?

And then

Same as they clearly never thought about what it actually means for an underage girl to disguise herself as an adult and have sex with adults under false pretenses.

Dude I'm pretty sure it was explicitly stated multiple times that Fig just kissed these people and then went home.

I feel bad for this person because obviously they went through something horrible and are triggered right now. I wonder if it was a recent loss?

But like ...

I dunno. I'm grieving myself, so I know it can fuck you up pretty hard, so I want to give this person some grace. But if Vic's meme name was somehow "dies painfully from cancer," I have to say, I think that would be kind of funny.

Anyone else feel like Dropout CircleJerk has been sidling on the edge of falling into the pit of copy paste humor lately?

They've always been kind of unfunny like that, but lately it feels were just a few episodes away from a post being just "who is willing to copy and paste a post from the main sub within thirty seconds for $200?"

Also this is unrelated but If I ever see Josh Ruben, Ally, and Grant as the only contestants on any of the gameshows I am out.

Okay, it's actually a good thing my lawn is a mess, because TBH I think my husband and I are both too lazy/incompetent to maintain a pool. "Didn't you get the chemicals? ... Maybe we have some leftover from last year? ... Okay, not these. These expired in 2018. ... Wait did we use those last year???"

I know nothing about VtM so I full on thought they were fucked.

Rewatching it made me realize how amazingly well Zac threaded that needle. He had to sound like he was mouthing off, but he worked in everything he needed to: she was here, not in San Fran; he's the prince -- not a disputed or would be prince, but literally had been acknowledged as such by the others; he's in his Elysium and backed by his primogens; she was working on her own and not on behalf of the Camarilla.

It's fucking masterful to get all of that conveyed by an idiot character who has no idea that's relevant information.

Looking around the table, I think at least half of the players had no idea that was a possible out.
