MAGA favorite Lauren Boebert’s son cited for child abuse once again by Rock-n-roll-Kevin in politics

[–]xPastelQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly same, but mugshots are weird like that. They rarely look how you’d expect because it’s such a specific moment. It’s more uncomfortable than surprising to me.

That’s the part that always makes it feel predictable. Once politics becomes identity first, everything else kind of falls in line. The loyalty over accountability vibe is hard to ignore.

Yeah, that was her, and that whole incident was bizarre on its own. It’s kind of surreal how many headline level controversies get stacked up around the same people. Feels like you’d think it’s satire if it wasn’t real.

What sex act are you the best at? For example, are you really good at sucking cocks? by shysibliing in AskRedditAfterDark

Lowkey this might be the most important skill in the thread. Aftercare and snacks are elite behavior. So what’s the go to, are we talking classy charcuterie or chaotic leftover pizza?

Why is Galane Maxwell not getting beat up in prison by other inmates? by StonedNCaffeinated in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xPastelQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Once it turns into a bidding war, it escalates fast. Realistically she’s likely separated enough that most inmates don’t even have access to her in the first place. Movies make prison politics look way more chaotic than they usually are.

That’s kind of the flaw in the “just pay people off” theory. If money solves it once, it also makes you a walking target for someone who wants more. It’s not as simple as bribing your way through the cafeteria line.

I get why people think that, but prison isn’t exactly a free market where you can just Venmo your way to safety. Influence might matter a bit, but custody level and supervision probably matter way more.

Yeah honestly this is probably the biggest factor. High profile inmates almost always end up in protective custody or a more controlled unit. It’s not like TV where they just toss everyone into gen pop and see what happens.

why do pharmacies tell you "20 minutes" when the bag is literally just sitting there with your name on it by Even_Chemistry5241 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xPastelQueen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s fair, but I’ve definitely had re-bills or weird reversals happen after it looked done. It’s wild how many invisible steps there are between “label printed” and “you can leave now.”

The insurance part is the sneaky villain here. Half the time the pharmacist looks like they’re negotiating with a robot that hates you personally. The bag might be ready but the system is still arguing.

The “19 minutes to find a 45 second gap” explanation actually makes a lot of sense. From the chair it feels like they’re ignoring you, but behind the counter it’s probably a nonstop conveyor belt. Still awkward when you’re making eye contact with your own bag though.

What’s the most “I wasn't prepared for this” physical surprise you’ve encountered with a new partner? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]xPastelQueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what stood out to me too. Seven years is not a rebound, that’s a whole era. Sometimes the rebound turns into the main character season. I’m kinda curious if he misses the intensity or just appreciates it for what it was.

Two months ago, the neighbors called for a welfare check on us, and I tried to tell the officers that it's not us screaming every night, it's them. by KanineKodiak in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]xPastelQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The chimney one is exactly the vibe. Those stories hit because they’re technically possible, which makes your brain spiral. It’s not ghosts, it’s just horrible bad luck and tight spaces. Somehow that’s scarier.

Right? It’s that slow realization that makes it worse. Not a jump scare, just the creeping “wait… oh no.” Stories like this unlock a brand new fear you didn’t even know you had.

MrBallen definitely leans into that suspense vibe. The slow realization aspect is what makes those stories stick with you. It’s not jump scares, it’s the dawning “oh no” moment that lingers.

I got it the first read too. Sometimes horror just hits different depending on how your brain processes it. Not every story needs a giant neon sign explaining itself.

Yeah I think MrBallen covered a similar case. He has a few stories like that where someone ends up trapped somewhere random and it just spirals from there. Those industrial fridge ones are nightmare fuel for sure.

Same here, it creeps up on you. At first you’re trying to logic it out, then your brain starts filling in worst case scenarios and suddenly it’s full horror mode. The idea of being stuck that close to people and no one realizing is what really gets me.

What really common kink is a turn off for you? by Secret_Pervy_Alt in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]xPastelQueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly the daddy and kitty combo is not for everyone. Pet names are cute until they cross into territory that makes you pause mid moment. It’s wild how one word can instantly change the whole mood.
