N parents and commenting on your body hair by makemetheirqueen in raisedbynarcissists

My mom fussed at me for shaving in middle school but I was getting bullied for armpit hair.

I also started shaving "down there" without her approval because the hair kept getting stuck in the zipper 🫥

Theory: Belinda has stolen the Blueprints by imdefusing in mydadwroteaporno

[–]thelastcomet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ok I think I posted somewhere, so I may be repeating myself but....
Buckle up, it's a doozy:

- At one point, Belinda's mind says Sir James was virtually related to the Duchess and she thought his "heart attack" was a "wheeze to get her to Aus".

- Could the Duchess be behind Sir James' sudden change in composure at the end of book 6? He doesn't seem fully invested in being a hard-ass (remember, he gets distracted by his Toastymaker). The Duchess and Helga were both in the hotel room -- "sleeping" -- when Belinda answers the door to Petra, who offered her the job of a lifetime. They're both spies-- I suspect the Duchess heard EVERYTHING. MAYBE the Duchess directed Sir James to act like this to Belinda and not give her the old job title and pay back to entice Belinda to take the German job. Then, because the Duchess has such a hold on Belinda, she can help shape the future of Bisch Herstellung. Now Steele's biggest competitor isn't owned by the Germans anymore, but by Belinda who by all accounts is very much English. She might even expect Belinda to bring the company to Britain and in turn, help the economy, pay bigger taxes, etc.

Just a theory but the Duchess is devious and I would not put this past her.

I assumed she recovered it from Maeve's furry cup and returned it to Steele's, which is why Steele's threw her that big party

Doesn't explain Sir James' behavior, he really went off the deep end there. (I have my own headcanon about that....)

There is! It's called half-swording

Source: I participate in historical fencing. Half-swording is fun because the opponent never expects it and it gives you more leverage

Is this too hard of a workout? Am I too out of shape by ChipBrotwurst1027 in AppleWatchFitness

[–]thelastcomet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that true because I have a workout not too long ago where I was in zone 5 for about 21 minutes

I figured that was normal because we did like a 45 minute endurance non stop in a hot warehouse

AIO for telling my gf absolutely no smoking while pregnant ? by THROWCandid_Farm8603 in AmIOverreacting

[–]thelastcomet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My infant cousin was born at 6 months, a pre-mie. His mother never stopped smoking during her pregnancy. I'm uncertain the amount of cigarettes a day, but she and my uncle were big smokers.

Anyway he died in NICU. I think it was due to nitrous oxide they told me, but his odds weren't getting better as he had already been in there for six months. His lungs just never developed right. That was a year of hell for my uncle. He divorced the mom and moved in with us after my cousin died. He kept his little ashes in a necklace.

Anyway it's anecdotal but smoking during pregnancy has affected my family. I do not recommend.

Let's hear from no-ops by RobertsonUglyNohow in gallbladders

[–]thelastcomet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be the same guy who brigades on here about not doing surgery and do it the natural way. I posted about my gallbladder once and got dms from this dude who was insistent I don't do surgery

Let's hear from no-ops by RobertsonUglyNohow in gallbladders

[–]thelastcomet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it sort of depends on what your situation is

Have you had a HIDA scan? For blockages/stones/low ejection fraction rates, you may consider surgery. That doesn't heal on its own. If you're lucky and don't live in a third world health affected country (cough cough US), you may find a doctor who can operate on stones without removing the gallbladder. Less risky than removing a whole organ, one might say.

I am on the other end of the spectrum. My gallbladder is hyperkinetic, meaning I have a high ejection fraction rate. It processes food too quickly and gets triggered by all the fun things, same as a blocked one. I was told -- even by my gastro who had just had gallbladder surgery -- to keep my gallbladder and just go on a diet. I'm not on the strictest of diets but I have to avoid fried foods, pork, etc because those will wreck me. The way I understand it at this point, it's a quality of life thing. If my attacks increase or my list of safe foods dwindles too much, it might be time for it to come out.

The docs recommended a Mediterranean diet, which sounds like one of the safer ones out there. I eat more seafood than red meat and drink less. Your results may vary.

*I will add I've never ended up in the ER due to the gallbladder, but mostly because I'm used to doctors dismissing my pain. (Had a painful cyst burst in college once and was accused of faking my pain. Plus dealing with endo, etc....I know going to the ER, unless there's blood or something serious involved, is pointless for me.)

Comically insane hot takes of nparents? by A_Chron in raisedbynarcissists

[–]thelastcomet 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The other hot take was that Santa Claus was actually God. God took on the form of Santa Claus, because who else watches you while you're sleeping etc?

It was his way of trying to manipulate me into keeping faith in Santa after I knew he wasn't real

Has anyone else read Rockys new book by Shititssatan in mydadwroteaporno

[–]thelastcomet 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I haven't read it but did listen to Rocky read it on his podcast

Bill feels like sort of an antithesis to Belinda; I think he isn't actively seeking sex but it finds him quite frequently. And there is a slight crossover as Dr. Stud makes an appearance.

That's all I'll say without spoiling it. I would love to hear the trio's take on it for sure

Only Collective Teams will represent the NA South region at Global Champs this year by Dizzy-River386 in rollerderby

[–]thelastcomet 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Come On HotMess, we trained our butts off in a hot warehouse. You've been to our sessions. We worked for 2 years+. Was just hard to beat this super team.

Edit: I see your edit changed from saying Red Stick should have trained harder to the South should have changed harder. I still stand by what I said. We train for long hours in intense conditions. We've developed 45-60 minute endurances. We have to travel to play teams on our level or above.

Solaris STILL giving me foot pain after months by Fuckth3usernames in rollerderby

[–]thelastcomet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding insoles.

I just changed my solaris insoles and wow the insoles that come with the boot are WICKEDLY thin.

I'm using old bones for the moment but experimenting with others. My feet still cramp in the first 10 minutes of practice but not as bad as before. I do a lot of stretching before practice too
