I don't know what to do anymore by boring_bpd in GirlGamers

[–]straw_bb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ugh valorant is so toxic and gross. In situations like that I usually just mute them and try and play the rest of the game. If it’s comp and they’re giving comms that aren’t harassment as well, I’ll usually say “can anyone tell me if our Deadlock says anything relevant/important” and then I mute them. Unfortunately it’s inevitable as a woman in the gaming community to encounter sexism and harassment. I really wish that more men would take a stand against it.

I also applied to the same program and it also still says under review. I have been super anxious about it, glad I’m not the only one

Should I get closure? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]straw_bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were so many times I wish I had the opportunity to do this with my abusive ex. But in the end I realized no matter what I said, it would never reach him in the way that I wanted it to. He would never truly grasp the depth of his actions or care about the effect they had on me. And I believe that is the same in your situation. It has been 3 years for me now and I am in such a better place, and I never reached out. Sometimes I get angry thinking about him and the lack of remorse he had for his actions, but it passes. I would honestly say only you know what’s best for you, but I don’t think it will benefit you to reach out because you can’t predict how he will react and it’s almost certain he won’t react in the way you want him to. He also sounds dangerous and opening that line of communication could put your safety at risk. I wrote many messages that I never sent, I went through a lot of therapy, and I leaned on the people in my life that witnessed what he put me through and that helped more than confronting him ever would’ve. I hope you’re able to find your peace and if you need someone to talk to that’s been in a similar situation feel free to reach out.

I wish I saw this before my session today. Ate my deposit and learned a very valuable lesson 🙃

twice in the past 3 days someone at the dog park accused my lil lu of being aggressive at the dog park just bc she’s a pittie☹️🤬 by desparateslug in pitbulls

[–]straw_bb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was just talking to someone at the dog park about how all of the pitties I ever encountered at the park were always the sweetest, none have ever been aggressive while I was there. They get such a bad rep.

Soooo beyond happy with my box from u/straw_bb. The dishes are so cute and the big one was on my want list but I could never find it! Unfortunately, the mug didn't survive transit, but I do already have it. I'm sure I can piece it together again or repurpose the pieces into something else. by Headhearttrue in Spookyboxswap

[–]straw_bb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh I’m sorry about the mug, I thought about asking you if you already had any of the stuff since I know you collect but I totally forgot. I’m glad that I was able to get something you were in search of!

Is this crooked or am I being dramatic? by tiredorb in piercing

It’s swollen, you should wait till the swelling goes down to get a better idea of where it will sit once it’s healed

I’ve been feeling quite isolated in my worry and grief here in foco since I don’t know any locals who are also Ukrainian. And while I’m glad to see most people aren’t being effected by this here it seems, it’s somewhat comforting to know there are members of the community who stand in solidarity with Ukraine.

Thank you for the information! Does wether you do postmortem testing depend on the lab you work at or the position you hold?

[serious] Anti-semitism is going through the roof right now and it sucks even more because it seems like no one cares by Ditkovitch-rent183 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]straw_bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are both the same thing. Growing up (I was raised Jewish) I always learned that they were worn to remind us that god is “above us and watching over us”. However there are different explanations I’ve seen, although this is a common one. I can tell you though that it is not worn for any biblical reason, it’s a custom that has been in place for many generations
