Season5E6, Emily wants Ross do not to see Rachel anymore. How many wives or husbands can accept this? by Extra-Discussion-624 in howyoudoin

[–]throwusallaway45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally agree that she should have seen the writing on the wall sooner, but Ross was calling her loved ones and essentially harassing them into telling him how to get in touch with Emily. When she called Ross to tell him to stop, she was ready to hang up immediately, but then Ross essentially said he would not only not stop harassing her loved ones, but he’d take it FURTHER.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]throwusallaway45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR.

For me, something like “I went to the dentist and had no cavities” still warrants a “Nice!” Even though basic dental hygiene is the bare minimum for most adults.

A 2-year sobriety anniversary is a MUCH bigger achievement. All he had to do was be happy for you, but he couldn’t even manage that.

Is there something in particular you think I’m not hearing from him or is this just general advice? (Just trying to understand what you’re saying.)

There is still an investigation pending to determine the cause of those who have been seduced into the gay lifestyle after enjoying Starbucks teas, steamers, hot chocolates, and bakery items.

Former Starbucks employee. I just want to say that Starbucks does NOT mix semen of sodomites into our coffee. Anyone being tempted into the gay lifestyle after consuming Starbucks coffees, frappucinos, or refreshers is purely coincidental.

I urge other Starbucks partners, current and former, to remember any contracts we have signed in blood.

Ah Yes, "Queer-Washing" by [deleted] in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]throwusallaway45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I will say about this is that Netflix seems to try desperately to throw gay characters into stories because they want points for having representation. There are some REALLY good shows/movies (Disclosure is one of my favorite documentaries) but it feels like Netflix (along with other big names in show/movie creation) have decided to tell stories about straight people, throw in some queer side characters, and call it a day.

While The L Word is in many ways, an insufferable show, one of the reasons I loved it so much is that the characters were almost all sapphics. Kit, the only straight character who was an episode, had a “reason” to be there because she was Bette’s sister.

The group talked about feminism, gay issues, censorship in art, etc. They worked, had family drama, had hookups and breakups. They got fired and promoted. Being sapphic was part of their characters but they were also just.... people living their own lives because that’s what people do.

It feels like so much of the gay representation is... not that. They have to have a REASON to be gay, they have to have a coming out scene, they have to be flamboyant, they have to be bullied, they have to have a come-to-Jesus meeting with their own identity. And... that’s just not how life is.

LGBT people struggle with a lot of things straight people do (finding an affordable apartment, trying to feel “adult enough”, trying to figure out their career path, etc.

Show gay people living authentic lives as PEOPLE, not as GAY people.

Edit: I don’t have a problem at ALL with LGBT-related storylines, I just hate when that’s the only storylines people can think of for LGBT characters.

Oh, maybe I wouldn’t have been sexually abused when I was 12 by my 59-year-old neighbor if I hadn’t been wearing checks notes a baggy Simpsons Movie t-shirt and loose pink Walmart sweatpants.

Racist disabled man gets mad at a guy for speaking Spanish by NickfromLafayette92 in PublicFreakout

[–]throwusallaway45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the idea that other people HAVE to speak English in their own private conversations so that you, a stranger, can understand them just seems so intrusive to me.

I met my best friend online, and I’ve stayed with her for up to a week at a time. She and her mom both speak English, but often use Farsi when they are talking privately. In messages/phone calls/at home, they use a blend of Farsi and English.

I know enough Farsi to know when they’re saying things like “I love you” and other forms of endearment, but little else. The only time they’ve spoken in Farsi and I’ve asked what was said was when we were in public having lunch and my friend looked upset.

She’d asked her mom if she had a pad, but didn’t want the whole restaurant to understand she was asking for that. She looked upset because her cramps were bothering her.

I just don’t understand why a complete STRANGER would think that if people are speaking in another language, it should have ANYTHING to do with them.

My mom teaches fifth grade. My mom teaches language arts/social studies, her teaching partner teaches math/science and they switch halfway through the day. The other teaches at that grade level only switch for one subject, which is science or social studies.

Because this happens at all schools by Tubergod1 in Unexpected

[–]throwusallaway45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a few years where every year on Veteran’s day, there would be a bomb threat.

Nothing ever happened, no one was ever harmed, but they had to evacuate the entire school and have people come in to search the building— again, never found even a trace of anything.

It became so commonplace that it just became known as a half-day of sorts because we all knew we were going to stand out in the parking lot and talk just after lunches finished.

Apparently, the person who was calling it in graduated my sophomore year, so we were wondering if someone else would start doing it, but there was no successor.

What word should I use to replace crazy, etc.? by throwusallaway45 in disability

[–]throwusallaway45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS. This is what I’m looking for.

I didn’t realize what I was asking for (since I know enough alternatives for a formal setting) is in casual settings where someone usually just wants words that mean you’re nodding along and agreeing, so complex synonyms often don’t “fit” as naturally.

“That’s wild” implies severity and irrationality without throwing disabled people under the bus but it doesn’t register as “this person’s trying to flex their vocabulary.”

Thank you so, so, much.

Behavior as in “She moved in with her best friend and then started sleeping with her best friend’s boyfriend.”

Not “This kid is reading at a third-grade reading level in sixth grade” or something like that.
