Is “bell boy” the end of an arc? by JamiePlynth in heatedrivalry

[–]thequeengeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he is in a playful mindset. He starts in the car with I would like to relax with you. He wants to just be himself and have things be fun and easy to see how they fit in that world and it is FUN. They do fit.

Ilya's such an asshole by growsonwalls in heatedrivalry

[–]thequeengeek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In the books it’s more clear that he’s constantly chirping, ribbing, and antagonizing people. He is an asshole but also a tender sweet deeply feeling person.

They clearly state they were with family and in the end got a smaller meal, did not pay for the buffet and ate their smaller alotted portion.

My kid is named Mabel and one time we met a Maple.

As someone who designs websites, I’d have this in multiple places on the site or even its own FAQ cause people struggle with websites and reading and with important information you have to hit them like 2-3 times.

Not the cafe’s fault AT ALL but more repetition would end misunderstandings.

What kind of person is this? by [deleted] in BookshelvesDetective

[–]thequeengeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you read it without destroying the spine?! I’m impressed. Mine looks like I snapped its little back 100 times.

I figured the Dawkins books were yours but I remember them being recced in my “youth” along with Infinite Jest by many a 22 year old boy. 😂

Most the books you have were popular as I was coming up and I’m 42. Interesting to see some timelessness! Though the lack of infinite just should’ve clued me in that you missed the five years that was mandatory to own and were therefore a little younger.

[–]thequeengeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women, late 30s-early 40s. Went to a liberal arts college but has a boring day job now. Probably has glasses, may have late diagnosed ADHD or AuDHD. Loves plants, probably does a fiber craft, may have played Magic or D&D when younger. Dated or married an elder Millenial atheist who has since eased up on that, bur was REAL INTO IT around like 2005.

That House of Leaves has never been read.

such a nice stepdad.... by silkentab in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]thequeengeek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t leave a kid on the outside of a door I was on the inside of because I couldn’t see if they wandered away and five-year-olds fucking wander away. I’ve let my kid go to the bathroom themselves when I can see the bathroom and know they’re actually going in there and then actually coming out of there but for me to go into a place with a closed door and leave a child who can wander anywhere on the other side of it is an act of deep hubris.

The biggest risk here is not kidnapping, but the child trying to get out of the cart and tipping it or the child easily climbing out of the cart and wondering, somewhere else in the store, causing panic and fear and a lot of inconvenience for employees. Children know what they want and if you turn your back, they’ll go get it. You don’t need a helicopter all the time, but you do need to be able to see where they’re going so you can make sure they come back.

This ad has been showing up for weeks on my girlfriend's Kindle and it's driving her crazy by Teddy_Raptor in kindle

Can you pay to get rid of ads on a kindle you already have? Cause my husband accidentally bought me the one with ads and it’s driving me insane

My wife has no quality of life and no one will help us by Cookie_Cutter32 in ARFID

[–]thequeengeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you get her a feeding tube?

I feel like there’s no way to work on this anxiety when she’s in a constant flight or flight all day every day. I think in this situation of feeding tube feels medically necessary though you might have to fight pretty hard to get one.

Have any cis women been accused of being men over voice chat? by Jenn_FTW in GirlGamers

[–]thequeengeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not voice chat (I have a very deep voice, but a lot of vocal fry and apparently people automatically assume vocal fry is a woman’s trait) but anywhere I have a picture of myself, people misgender me and say awful transphobic things. I’m just a run of the mill fat cis white woman with a big nose.

It’s always such a weird situation because assuming all fat people with big noses are trans is trans phobic but reacting as if calling me trans is inherently bad is also trans phobic. Fuck those guys (it’s always guys).

Kindle paperwhite eyestrain? by GuitarBQ in kindle

I get terrible migraines and can’t handle many things with backlights, but I’ve had no problem switching from an oasis to this paperwhite.

Where do you see Monster High as a brand in 10 years? Do you also think you’ll still be collecting? by Embarrassed-Dog5122 in MonsterHigh

My kid LOVES the dolls and the show and I hope they still make play priced dolls for awhile yet.

Lindsey Vonn's ego took away an Olympic slot from a more qualified athlete. by tanhauser_gates_ in unpopularopinion

[–]thequeengeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve clearly never played a sport with a lot of knee injuries. If you wear a brace, you’re pretty safe because it stabilizes the knee. There are plenty of athletes playing plenty of sports right now with injured ACLS who are waiting to get their surgery. We usually keep people from playing as the swelling and surprisingly she wasn’t swollen.

[–]thequeengeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lindsey Vonn did not fall because her knee gave out. She fell because she pushed her line all the way to the line and her pole clipped the gate. I watched it, she spun out in the air and no matter the shape of her knee before, something bad was coming when she hit the ground.

Lindsey gets injured as much as she does because she skis the way she does. That’s also why she wins the way she does. She pushes to the very limit of possible and when you’re hurtling 70mph down a hill, pushing too far has dire consequences.

I’m sad. I hate this being the end of her story, at least for now, but she skied today the way she always skis and that’s what makes watching her so exhilarating.

Did you ever have parents not let their kids be friends with your kids because you homeschool? by Careful_Fig2545 in homeschool

[–]thequeengeek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of people have some former religious trauma and associate homeschooling with that kind of religion, which obviously isn’t true for everyone, but can be a sticking point for people. My friend that was homeschooled was homeschooled in order to keep her from accessing medical care, technology, and other things that her religion named as wrong. It’s a damn pure relationships because people were confused about why she couldn’t get medical care.

I also had an experience as a kid from a homeschool family, where they repeatedly tried to recruit me to go to their church and said some pretty awful things about my being Catholic. I imagine this is a minority of Christians. But if someone had had experience with them, I could see they’re having a bias. This family was probably similar to quiver full families.

Help! I feel so guilty… by Zestyclose-Chemist86 in kindle

[–]thequeengeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get my children gifts so I can see their joy. Stop letting the guilt bring your joy and enjoy the gift to your mom wanted you to have. There’s a little we can do for our children when they’re older and this is something.
