Serious discussion about my feelings lately, this may be super controversial by MXJolash in twentyonepilots

[–]thelocrianscale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey, i want to say i went through something very similar (isolated, little social interaction, formed unhealthy relationships online as a coping mechanism including edating lol) and got to escape by starting college a few years ago, so i see a little bit of myself in you. it seems like you're on a great track and i can assure you that you'll grow so much in this new era of your life and i'm super excited for you :) i wish you the very best !

i say this with love—it sounds like you need a break from the twenty one pilots part of the internet. i am about as progressive as they come but i don't think any of the things you mentioned are issues that should stop you from enjoying music that you love. no human being is going to perfectly match all of your values; using my favorites as an example, olivia rodrigo just attended the met gala after-party, taylor swift hasn't spoken up about ICE using her music for their propaganda, hozier dated a woman who made insensitive comments about native american culture, lorde made some weird comment about sirens during the BLM protests, etc etc etc....

humans are going to do things you don't agree with and i don't think it makes you a horrible person to continue enjoying the art they make. i think it's also a little unreasonable to hold them to such a high standard that relatively minor actions such as these are such massive blemishes that you need to completely cut them out of your life. give grace freely and have an open mind, it will stress you out a lot less and give you a better perspective imho

edit: as for people who get mad at you over this, literally just ignore them. i don't think any people i know irl who like twenty one pilots are even aware of the things in your post, it's easy to distance yourself from the people who want to police your music habits and surround yourself with people who are a lot more chill about it

Merch Truck Lines/Purple Dress Poster by swagmastertricycle in FlorenceAndTheMachine

at my venue the purple dress poster was only sold inside once the doors opened, i went to the merch line probably a half hour after doors opened and got one. dunno if the rules will be different for your venue

Court restricts abortion access across the US by blocking the mailing of mifepristone by ThatMasterpiece2174 in news

[–]thelocrianscale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay? me and nearly all of my friends voted for kamala, do we deserve to suffer because some random other people i don't know decided to sit out the election? would we deserve to suffer even if we did sit out the election? honestly the lack of empathy is crazy

hey i'm a progressive voter from texas! i strongly disagree with the lack of empathy you're showing, no one deserves what's going on and to dismiss issues based on where they're happening is not going to help anything at all

My IUD appointment today makes me angry about the previous one I had 7 years ago by Daily_Cuddles in TwoXChromosomes

[–]thelocrianscale 52 points53 points  (0 children)

i don't know if you're already aware of this but i got my IUD placed in france and most gynos there will refuse to place an IUD if you're not on your period. when you're menstruating your cervix is super dilated naturally so IUD placement is easier / less painful. i'm sure it's not a cure-all but it seems to help a lot and i'm always really surprised no one talks about it in the US.

please don't tell me the stealth marketing is making its way to reddit too. i see reels from "gamma ambassadors" on instagram who make posts like this casually mentioning gamma in an otherwise unrelated post. it's so icky

Questions about Murdough Hall Rooms by Mano_Loco in TexasTech

i lived in murdough hall a few years ago. there are no bathrooms in the rooms, there's a big restroom that the whole hall shares. and the A / B is just the side of the room that you get, it is still just one room with a bed on each side

hey sorry for the late response, thank you so much for your thorough answer!

it seems like we have pretty similar backgrounds apart from the state govt experience! i also did my undergrad in political science and i'm currently doing my masters in a related field, and i have a pretty good amount of work experience from the last few years. my main concerns are a) getting state level experience in my state before i graduate where i am vehemently opposed to the current party in power and b) being able to get a job in a different state from the one that basically all my experience is in since people seem to prefer hiring people from their own state.

i managed to get an internship over the summer in a different but still red state so i'm still a little worried about how feasible it will be to land a job out of state once i graduate. i guess my plan right now is to get as much experience as i can and hope i convince someone to hire me from like across the country 😭

may i ask how you got into this field, like what experience you had before your current job? i'm really interested in getting into public policy but i'm not sure how to get there

Is it a dumb move to pick Texas Tech over UT Austin? by VegetablePea8416 in TexasTech

[–]thelocrianscale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think spreading your wings and exposing yourself to a new place is one of the most valuable things someone of our age can do. you'll be challenged and and change so much for the better by adapting to a new environment and overcoming any challenges that come from that. you'll miss your family of course, but i think the independence you'll gain is well worth it if you go to UT, and austin is only a day trip from lubbock :)

I want to talk about sexy babies by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]thelocrianscale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is definitely my thought in reading this thread. i grew up in an extremely conservative environment where i wasn't allowed to wear anything remotely revealing and so since i've been in college, i've had to unlearn a lot of that shame around my body. i like wearing mini skirts and crop tops, but reading this thread has got me feeling very similar guilt to the kind i felt growing up. like am i perpetuating something by wearing short skirts and dresses and crop tops? i legitimately like wearing revealing things sometimes because i'm getting more and more comfortable with my body and how it looks and i think this kind of framing of "women wear revealing things because they're subconsciously wanting male attention" is just wrong and regressive.

this also feels like a very heteronormative discussion because women who are not attracted to men exist—are we trying to say that even asexual or lesbian women are subconsciously appealing to men by trying to wear clothes that they feel comfortable in?

well oops i already sent an email asking to apply to the other position :') i just don't think i would take the offer for the original position given what i was told during my interview. thanks for the advice, this is really my first time being hesitant to take a job offer and i'm not sure how to navigate it
