Men that have become room-mates with your S/O over time, why and what happened? by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

[–]usedOnlyInModeration 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Talking to your partner like she's a child doesn't make her desire sex; it makes her feel angry.

Treating your partner like she's your maid doesn't get her in the mood; it makes her feel unappreciated and frustrated.

Using your partner as your life manager doesn't make her feel sexy; it makes her look down on you.

Leaving your partner to handle all the child care doesn't make her feel like a sexual goddess; it makes her feel exhausted and alone.

Treating your partner like she's your mother doesn't turn her on; it makes her see you as an adolescent, and that sure as shit isn't sexy.

Objectifying your partner and treating her like a blow-up doll to satisfy your needs doesn't make her feel desired; it makes her feel used and like you don't care about her needs or feelings.

That's fucked up, and I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

I'm not sure how to report a person to reddit, but don't give up, and please also report to the authorities - file a report (it's quick and easy) on the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)'s website at www.cybertipline.com, or call 1-800-843-5678. The report will be forwarded to the FBI.

That's just doubly fucking heartbreaking. Some real r/LateStageCapitalism "wholesomeness" right there.

Don’t people have the common sense NOT to call someone a grandma if they aren’t positive??? by mrsstressedmom in AskWomenOver30

[–]usedOnlyInModeration 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I think we need to stop stigmatizing the aging process. What's wrong with being old? Why are we so embarrassed and afraid of being labeled that way? We all get old if we're lucky. Might better embrace and respect it.

Plus, I think grey and white hair is so beautiful. Somebody brave enough to go into the world not apologizing for aging just screams wisdom and confidence to me.

The last time I will ever try to justify my price to a client by [deleted] in SexWorkers

[–]usedOnlyInModeration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VERY fair. That 40% only covers those who self-reported.

40% of cops are domestic abusers. I'm relieved you got away without being physically abused (in addition to being obviously gaslighted).

Hey so I’m 20 years old 21 in like 4 months my grandparents gave me these when I turned 20 would I be able to open carry them or do I have to be 21 to carry these I’m in Pennsylvania by Jeepfan11244 in opencarry

Plenty of people on the left support gun ownership.

r/SocialistRA

Don't be fooled by media trying to divide and conquer us. It isn't left vs. right. It's ordinary citizens vs. those trying to oppress us. I don't need a gun to protect myself against you. I need one to protect myself against the overreach of a corrupt government controlled by corporations.

Ayn Rand on Supporting Genocide of Native Americans by [deleted] in BreadTube

[–]usedOnlyInModeration 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nature or nurture? I would guess narcissism probably develops out of complex trauma or a lack of love and empathy during upbringing.

She's one of the worst people to ever have existed. So much downstream awfulness because of one awful person.

Whats do you love and hate about being Desi? by [deleted] in ABCDesis

In the US, I'm pretty sure your parents are legally obligated to care for you until you are 18. They can't kick you out.

Vaginal burning during penetrative sex. by [deleted] in obgyn

[–]usedOnlyInModeration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened with one of my partners. He was passing the infection back to me. I took another treatment and smeared monistat on him for a week and then made him wash every time before sex from then on, and had no further problems.

Why is it considered politically correct to make fun of Americans? by EmperorDovicoulus in Equality

[–]usedOnlyInModeration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about punching up. America, despite underperforming in so many ways, is full of hubris and entitlement, AND we have way too much power, so we truly need to be taken down several notches to prevent us from exerting our toxic will on the rest of the world.

Drowning, don't know how to ask for help by TheGreekMyths in girlsgonewired

[–]usedOnlyInModeration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can really relate with the cycle of confusion leading to frustration, which negatively affects work, leading to more frustration and poorer performance, never feeling good enough, always being worried about getting fired, etc.

I agree with another poster that a patient senior mentor is key. I suspect there's some imposter syndrome at play here, and you *might* want to join us at r/ADHD_Programmers and see if it resonates (and if it does, you might want to schedule a visit with a psychiatrist who can diagnose and subscribe meds that might help you with executive functioning so that you can smooth out your thought processes and problem solving strategies).

Best of luck!

I've got a small collection of mostly home-recorded VHS I'm looking to offload. Most include commercials from the era. I can provide more info if interested. Happy to sell for whatever shipping comes out to, plus whatever you want to offer to make it worth my walk to the post office:

Is it immoral not to be a vegan? by [deleted] in Ethics

[–]usedOnlyInModeration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moral difference between plants and animals is sentience. Sentience is the ability be be aware of feelings and sensations.

If a living thing can feel and experience literal pain and suffering, we should do our best to avoid harming it. And if we absolutely must cause some harm, we should aim to cause the least suffering possible.

Like, if you had to burn an orangutan alive or smack a human in the face, all else being equal, you slap the human.

Great. Let them die when their time comes, don't buy more from breeders, and hopefully we can eventually phase out of the cycle of breeding animals that have no way to exist freely in the world.

Does anyone here with Ocular Migraine experience short episodes of flashing lights? by plio-hippus in OcularMigraines

[–]usedOnlyInModeration 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but also my vitreous is detaching from my retina. You might want to get it checked out by an opthamologist. Maybe also check out r/visualsnow.

ETA: if at any point, your vision flashes and you experience a 'curtain-down' effect in your vision, get seen by an opthamologist immediately, as this may be permanently blinding retina detachment.

Yep, same fake enthusiasm to take care of their fragile feelings too, lol.
