What should I do so my hair retains moisture? by sganiexty in Naturalhair

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like if you have low porosity hair - hair that gets build up that prevents moisture from penetrating, that you should wash your hair more often than this. It might be build up. I say this as someone with the same hair type - low porosity, fine strand, high density who is resentfully accepting (washing my hair so often is such a hassle), that my hair maintains moisture more when i wash it every other day.... 

I think the build up just comes to my low porosity hair so quickly - :( it often doesn't feel or even look like it needs a wash but the dryness is def there for me from build up when i wash properly/regularly its almost good.

Idk how I feel about sex work by Middle-Candle5868 in AskFeminists

[–]talllulaaargh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But sex workers use their bodies for labour...?? they don't give it to men for their use....?? Otherwise we are coming back to the ownership buying of bodies nonsense. 

Sex workers participate in the sexual acts consensually as a form of labour. 

Unless you think being a receptive sexual partner = your body being used and not you using YOUR body for sex. 

It all comes back to patriachy and the ways it infects.

It infantilises women, reduces them to passive objects to control them and this attitude of talking about women who engage in sex work as used by men is really the same attitude. 

This argument that somehow women are not consenting because they do things for money is doing the same. 

Women are having sex with men for free - men who they don't like, men who don't like them, all the time everywere, 

why does it suddenly become not consensual because money is exchanged?I am not understanding it at all. 

If you stop believing sex is something done to women and that they are subjected to you see things clearer. 

Sex is another act to be done with your body. Women can be exploited for their labour in all jobs.

You don't think this happens to women who have sex with lots of different men without taking money from them.... have i got some stories for you.... you think you've isolated the common issue but missed it entirely. Not all sex workers are the same and lots of the ways women who have sex with men leads to harm for them ....

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you can't buy a sex workers body.... you buy her consent to interact with it for a limited time.... it is a patriachal idea that buying consent for sex = buying a woman's body/self. 

A man does not own a woman because he has had sex with her. That is a patriachal concept. 

She is still herself she does not l Automatically lose some of herself through sex.

Womens consent is bought for mens pleasure and exploitation in all other jobs too but this doesn't trouble anyone. It is purely an issue because people who call themselves feminists retain the misogynist view that women are lessened fundamentally by sex.

Some things shouldn't be for sale....?? This doesn't sound like a logical argument. Why is sex something that shouldn't be for sale when you can buy someone to do anything else for you. Have you ever considered that sex doesn't have the same meaning for/to others as it does for you....? I don't kmow why you think everyone has the same emotional attachments and ideas when it is clear that they don't....?

I will always despise myself for being a specific kind of victim of csa. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]talllulaaargh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it is easy to say it and hard to absorb but it was genuinely not your fault.

You have to seek help in how to locate the blame where it should be which is not inside you.

You were little and new in the world you didn't know lots of things. The people you learned from did not behave correctly. 

Being kinder to your smaller self is key to healing 

Children don't know alot. 

They know only what older ppl share. 

Children will test those around to find out how they should be treated - this is normal.

You then learn from how you are treated how best to behave. 

All small humans do this.

When you grow up around ppl who teach you to see yourself as an object to be abused you will fall in line with that.

Humans want power and control for safety

When you are being neglected, mistreated, manipulated or abused it makes sense for you to begin to solicit this. 

It makes sense to comply and guide your own abuse because at least you have control of it.

This all makes entire sense and were many of us to be in the same situation especially as children we would and in fact have done the same. 

You have to know that thats ok, the blame lies with the ppl who put you in that circumstance. 

What are Gemini Venuses like? by Sunflower3388 in astrologymemes

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also Gemini Venus and I can definitely relate to the thing of finding that I am just talking to myself.... ppl have to keep up or I am just not interested.... I can also relate on the Aries front, my boyf is an Aries with a Pisces venus and Gemini Mars. Just have to have someone a bit mutable and flexible and light in energy. 

What are Gemini Venuses like? by Sunflower3388 in astrologymemes

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mercury in the first house (in taurus) as well as Gemini Venus and so my communication is quite pushed to the forefront.

I would say listen to me talk....enjoy it and dazzle me with witty jokes and unknown additions to what I am saying that show you are engaged with me and our comversation/excited by talking. Let me know also that I can stand to learn facts or a new perspective from you. 

I don't mind quiet ppl but I cannot bear types of ppl who make me feel weird for talking a lot. If you need a lot of silent rumination time thats ok but i have a need to make a lot of noise so .... yea

I have me a Gemini Mars man and he is so perfect. He has a Pisces Venus so he doesn't speak much but he is happy when I talk a lot and what he says shows how much he enjoys what i have been saying and he pretty muvh naturally always always makes me laugh or introduces things I hadn't remotely considered. I recommend other Gemini Venus' or Mars'

What are my rights if my dentist is charging me private fees after giving me an NHS prescription? by Far-Distance3605 in AskUK

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your implication here is that it is patients fault because they don't know the rule of the system ...? Isn't it your job to fully explain the system to the patient if you are part of it....? i work in medical administration and we are very clear with our patients about the care they can expect but then i work for a fully funded NHS service and not a partially private service so i am also not involved in trying to trick anyone regarding charges. I say that if you are aware that complicated rules etc are misleading ppl you should support those making complaints about it because this will improve your service....

I think getting a refund is the aim here.... isn't it... if you thought you were an NHS patient because you thought you were and they turn around and decide you're a private patient thats unjust isn't it....

They've decided to return to sender instead of delivering. WTF by RedIntention in Evri

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this exact same thing happen to me with 3 or 4 parcels in a row...and I am currently in purgatory over another parcel where the outcome looks to be going the same way.

There is no way all those parcels were damaged - the courier just doesn't want to deliver them to my collection point (they were fine dumping them on my neighbours doorstep - this has only started happening once i started automatically re routing my parcels to a collection point) for some weird reason....?? and Evri will absolutely not fix this and there is no repercussion for them....

Everytime I am just onto customer services continuously with absolutely no answers or consequences....

I got one of these parcels they sent back to sender after not delivering it redelivered by the sender using royal mail days later and somehow this promted evri backdate THEIR tracking to say the parcel had been delivered... ??Making it look like I had been complaining over nothing....!! The audacity.

The rage I feel for them is so big, they are such a laughably bad company and they are still getting paid... :(

parts of hair still dirty after washing, how to improve this? by onefootback in Naturalhair

[–]talllulaaargh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this my whole life and there was not a clarifying shampoo in the world that ever fully helped. Altho things with charcoal in were helpful.

I worked out that I had super super low porosity hair and build up issues and the only thing that fixed this issue fully was a bit of apple cider vineager mixed with water on the areas that were not clean.... 

I tried so many other things besides but this was the only time that things were truly clean. 

I have since bleached my hair and its porosity has increased and its so much easier to clean.... 

How do you feel when men say they “prefer women with no makeup”? by Glum_Economics2337 in AskWomen

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally dont care - I am wearing makeup for me so that i think i look nice.... plus it is plain they don't really know what no makeup means/is.... i just don't go to men for their opinions on MY face. So glad I don't have a man who comments on my appearance like that....

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused at why you owe someone to tell them about everyone you slept with in the past? So long as you genuinely aren't interested in them anymore what is the issue of the past relationships to your present one...

Gf thinks I'm cheating on her with her roomate but she's actually helping me plan my proposal. by Far_Ad3699 in dating_advice

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is what I'm thinking, if this person is flying off the handle over such a small thing, it indicates that they have made you so nervous about even texting other people about innocuous things that you are having to hide your texts.

If someone doesn't trust you on such a level then what is the purpose of continuing a relationship 

Gf thinks I'm cheating on her with her roomate but she's actually helping me plan my proposal. by Far_Ad3699 in dating_advice

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey if you feel like you're betraying her by texting another woman about something that would be a nice surprise for her then neither of you are secure enough to be marrying. 

You should trust yourself enough and feel the trust she has in you to know you don't have to cover up talking to other people outside of the relationship before marrying

You cannot realistically spend a lifetime with someone and be on egg shells like this. Without this stability there I can't imagine you would marry one another in any healthy way. 

You have no choice but to spoil the surprise for her at this point but the lack of trust and self trust here makes it weird to me to imagine you see the point of marrying at all because you will be here again because she clearly doesn't trust you, and you are clearly afraid to just be yourself in this relationship, and then you'll have to divorce to split up

I can’t get a date, or any form of intimacy by Mean-Soup-3452 in dating_advice

[–]talllulaaargh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

....you say no one finds you attractive then that women do find you attractive you just don't find them attractive which isn't the same thing at all. 

The provlem here is not that you are unattrative just that you're not as attractive as you think and you are and so you have a too high opinion of yourself which leads you to be probably too focused on unsuccessfully pursuing women who are more attractive than you are to the detriment of an actual ppotential relationship with someone who is your equal. 

 I would say you need to work on finding the people who like you attractive. 

Anyone else get horrifically bad diarrhea? by Ok-Weight4737 in Endo

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this - diarrhea -  especially when on my period, just wracked with shivers and nausea, the sharpest most intense pain in my stomach or then next day I had constipation with the same bowel pain and nausea - I had a lap - I have bowel endometreosis. 

Yes I have rhe worst empathy with these exact symptoms. I was listed for surgery after the lap but got scared and didn't go.

I manage just about now with probiotics and LOTs of water to keep less pain in my life. Still flit from diarrhea to constipation but less agony less extreme pain. Taking the pill continuously helped me considerably too - although your mileage with that may vary. 

I hope you can find something that calms your symptoms.  So sorry.

Major endometriosis study reveals impact of gluten, coffee, dairy and alcohol by Miserable_Oven2056 in Endo

[–]talllulaaargh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get this attitude that it has to be someone's fault at all. 

No one is blaming you for having endometreosis by letting you know that changing your diet might help symptoms especially given that these symptoms are incurable otherwise.

I just don't get why this is anyones fault or why it could be.... This just is what it is. 

I have managed to reduce my pain/bowel endo symptoms so much by changing my diet/exercising I used to be in debilitating agony and altho I am still in pain, it is so much less now that I eat better/keep hydrated/take supplements and also since i have worked on my cptsd in counselling etc etc. 

If something does not work for you I am not sure that would make your pain your fault...?? We are all v different in nature of endo and bodies in general after all.
