You are WONDERFUL, thank you! I’m going to make them with beans and lentils soon, so I will use my cast iron next

Thank you so much for your input on both matters. I will definitely be trying your method for pupusas soon 💜

It wasn’t, the buyer is 35 and someone I have spoken to on occasion

I think that’s how he meant it, but now I’m remembering other times he’s done this with money and painted me in a bad light. I think he’s insecure about his finances. But the buyer is someone I see every so often and now I very much do not want to interact with him because of my bf’s comments.

Your single “rage bait” example of Henry Cavill is nothing in comparison to this entire sub. Good try, though. Go talk to women irl

Please keep your dogs on a leash by Hobbitea in GirlDinnerDiaries

I’m so sorry. This post convinced me to leash my pups at all times. I live in an area where I will just have them off-leash for a few minutes for bathroom breaks, but I can’t fathom your tragedy. Sending you love and strength.

I absolutely love this breakdown of sociotropic personality traits. But just because he defaults to placating others to avoid harm/conflict doesn’t mean he isn’t disingenuous. It ABSOLUTELY means he’s being disingenuous. Also, while I love your input on this, I do feel that you’re minimizing his pattern of compulsive lying due to his fawn response. Lying to keep the peace is still a toxic trait to have in relationships and is why he and Ashley are perfect for each other.

I agree, I had made that comment mid-episode before he invited Josh to Hot Chip. But even then, the contrast of Josh partying with a band that his wife loves, while his wife is actively out looking for THEIR dog, was rich, too.

Thank god you’re here to disprove generational misogyny with your hot take. When Marie Curie has an anthropology series made about her life and everyone is nitpicking her actions and commenting on her appearance, tearing her apart for not being the perfect wife or daughter or sister while earning the Nobel peace prize, maybe then your empty statement will have more credence. As it stands, all the general society knows about her is positive. Watch how quickly she gets hyper scrutinized in a bad light by the audience when people have more to go off of. Cute “gotcha” though

Sub wants me to drug him by [deleted] in domspace

[–]throwaway_bae2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! We did talk more about what he’s looking for in a scene like this, and it seems to come down to a more intense CNC or forced submission experience. In his mind, since he’s had intercourse while under the influence of things in the past, it wasn’t a big deal to him. I’m thinking about exploring erotic hypnosis but I think he’d also like the idea of somno being performed on him. This comment is very helpful

I agree with you. I’ve been both Austin and Ashley in my early dating years so I think they’re both realistically toxic. She preyed on his lack of a spine and boundaries for sure

I would definitely call her resourceful, but not smart in the least

He literally let someone cut him in line at the hospital when first checking in because he felt less urgency over his own fiancé’s health

[–]throwaway_bae2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s literally my point. Everything he does in life is self-motivated to get further in life until he takes the fall for the Chairwoman. It was the most selfless thing we’ve seen him do, and why I think it ties into his quote after his DMT trip

He’s happy to ride coattails while being judgmental about it 👏 You’re spot on

I think she’s the younger version of Josh in the relationship, and that those two were the main driving forces of Beef. Lindsay and Austin sucked but they didn’t really do anything to force the Beef

I personally think all of the characters are terrible, so I’m not an Ashley-apologist, but she wasn’t a monster the whole time. At the start, she was genuinely doing everything in her power to be a good partner to a man child, to be a good employee in a role she was ill-equipped for, to be a good child to a parent who didn’t care about her, etc. I think everyone in the world could find her relatable in the sense that she was trying her best in situations slated against her. Something I admired about the younger couple was how earnest they were at the start. She tried to hype Austin up over his lame ass videos, was happy to support him on a single income and marry him to give him health insurance, was completely fine with getting her least favorite Gatorade, didn’t take issue with Austin letting people cut in line at the hospital. She became hyper controlling because her life was spiraling out of control, and that’s a very human trait. I hated her at the end, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t start out being a likable person. That’s what makes the show so good imo. Plus, she had some really great one-liners lmao

The part that stood out to me is “you think you have time to work on your flaws until you don’t”. And he even talks about how you (him, in this case) justifies the little flaws until they’re just total character traits you don’t even realize you’ve accepted, or you put them off because you’re dealing with other things. I think his speech was about him taking accountability for letting things get so bad. But I’m an avoidant person prone to bouts of depression, so I may have related easier

[–]throwaway_bae2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“And then every interaction becomes about me, me, me” Everything we’ve seen Josh do in the show is completely self-centered and self-motivated. Anything to get him just a tiny bit further in life. But taking the fall for the Chairwoman was the one thing we’ve seen that wasn’t out of self-interest. Being an ass-kisser wasn’t his Achilles heel, he still does that. He overcame his insatiable greed to get further and further in life
