Mentally ill woman in her late 30s. Quit my jobs with DIDDs to go to work a retail job and go to school.

I’m here to help!

Wow. My skin was crawling the entire time.

flicker ,

Bane in the Harley Quinn animated series.

Never watched the show but I googled her and the problem isn't that she's a fatty. It's that her face shape is so round, so people see more fat than if there.

I'm probably a good 50 pounds heavier but my family has obscenely high cheekbones so even as a fatty I have those hollows in my cheeks that people assume is thin. It's not the weight there, it's bone structure.

Pointing out that Jesus was absolutely not the only person who carried a cross and was crucified is an excellent point. The cartoonist absolutely missing the whole... thing with thos image.

flicker ,

Long way to go for the joke but I appreciate you.

I always hated the obvious disdain with which the author treats a woman doing a teleplay in her own home.

Acting is a skill, and recreation has value. If a person sitting in their own living room doing VR episodes of TV where they play a part, that doesn't make them vapid or foolish or represent an unwise use of their time.

I have watched movies that have had an equal lack of need of my input that still managed to make me think and feel you condescending prick! And I have read books with which I've had infinitely less intellectual involvement than a woman pretending to be a character in a soap opera! Take your elitist victimization fetish and shove it up your ass!

...sorry, I actually love parts of Fahrenheit 451. But I've been angry about this for years. The "hero" of the story denigrating his own wife because of how he views her hobby? Because in his mind, it isn't as intellectually stimulating as his new, illegal hobby? What an asshole.

flicker ,

The problem I had with this is that it's an apathy that he himself had until recently, and now he's a smug prick hating on his wife for not being cool enough to break the law like he does.

He never tells her what he's doing. He believes he can't. So instead of trying to communicate, and dealing with the fallout of a difficult discussion, he just judges her for being who he was.

It's still a dick move no matter how it's justified!

flicker ,

Oh! I've always lived more rurally, so I'm not familiar with the lack of porches in cities. That bites!

flicker ,

Dammit.

Back to contacts I guess.

flicker ,

Oh, I didn't realize we were related. Put the kettle on and let's swap stories.

flicker ,

Get real close.

Make a very serious face.

Use your most intense voice.

"No one puts my friend down like that."

flicker ,

I would have to struggle not to pronounce the creme like they do in Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. "Crrrem." Which is ridiculous.

flicker ,

I'm a middle aged white woman and I find this concept hilarious. But I don't want to buy it because 4% is fucking weak. I want to make my own "gay water" and serve it at parties.

flicker ,

Wow. What a myopic view. You need to know your history so it isn't repeated, and the reason for the Gettysburg Address, and it's continuing legacy in our country, is very appropriate to our current situation.

flicker ,

For some reason, I'm reading the "your" here as gendered. Which is weird, because I like to ask my (not terminally online) boyfriend his opinion of online drama, and when I explained to him that women were saying they'd choose a bear over a strange man, he said, "That's the obvious choice. Everyone should chose the bear over a stranger. People are awful."

Gendering it was probably unnecessary. If you made the question "would you rather meet a bear in the woods, or a stranger," most people would say the bear.

Because people are terrible.

I came to the comments hoping for any of those baller "Silence, Brand!" memes.

flicker ,

Mine has a setting where if a number calls you once, it blocks. If it calls you a second time, it goes through. And it works! I use it all the time.

flicker ,

I'm firmly in the "take my money" camp for that one.

flicker ,

I want to make sure that the average reader knows that if a woman is excited (more and more) you should eventually have a smell. It shouldn't be fishy or disgusting, but vaginas produce moisture when excited, and that healthy moisture does have a smell.

Unfortunately I have very small labia so I had to learn a lot about how not to expose the area to soap or too much water.

flicker ,

I was thinking rabies.

A person who looks wrong.

flicker ,

...hoses? Like the kind you use outside with a water spigot?

flicker ,

New fear unlocked.

rule (lemmy.cafe)

as much of a PSA as this is a meme lol. don’t seek dietary advice from randos on the internet. everyone is different and the advice you see from @bonerfart on !memes can be dangerous and should be taken with a grain of salt (metaphorically, not a dietary recommendation 😜). instead consider one or both of:...

flicker ,

I grew up with the internet, so I've always been aware that it's a lying pain in the ass.

And I submit for evidence the guy on keto reddit who insists that all your problems can be solved by drinking your own pee.

flicker ,

I can't speak for the others, but my upvote is because I read it the exact same way.

flicker ,

But are you self-sealing?

flicker ,

Mine is just that Maynard's Dick exists.

flicker ,

I know a lot of people still have terrible fanfiction they wrote as teens on the internet somewhere, so the warning is very appropriate.

flicker ,

So... something weird happened with my phone, and I thought I clicked a link for electricity solving a maze and got this instead and it was... a uniquely confusing experience.

But also weirdly nostalgic for back when confusing things happened on the internet all the time so... thanks?

flicker ,

Thank you for sharing this. I was enthralled from start to finish.

flicker ,

If anything I think our societal problem is that everyone remembers what happened to Robespierre.

flicker ,

I can't do my own calculations. I'm just abysmal at math. I look up other people's spreadsheets on crops and wines and whatnot and leave creating the spreadsheet to the professionals.

flicker ,

No one condemning
You lined up like lemmings
You lead to the water

flicker ,

Women are completely unrepresented for some reason.

flicker ,

This was an edited version of my original comment which I figured would've gotten me a bunch of hate.

"Yet again, women don't exist at all to the people obsessed with femboys."

flicker ,

I don't think you can claim to be an objective scientist and also claim that data you haven't personally experienced is invalid.

What a remarkably self-centered worldview.

I hope you get to feel that someday of that's what you want but discounting an entire population that way is... not cool.

flicker ,

I'm sorry I don't find it funny when I say "women are missing" and someone's reply is, "but I wish I was one." You suffering is not funny to me. You changing the topic to your experience isn't funny to me.

And if there's one thing I really don't like, and I think most people wouldn't enjoy, it's being told to relax. I understand you don't like that I didn't find your joke funny, but I'm allowed to feel however I want. Just like you are.

flicker ,

I know caring about things isn't cool. I know expressing honest annoyance is super not cool, but this is Lemmy, so I decided to be genuine.

flicker ,

I honestly get where you're coming from. I'm from the US southeast, and the internet had a whole moment with the phrase "bless your heart," and they are almost exclusively using it wrong, which is such a shame.

But getting mad about it just makes trolls appear and assholes will say the thing that annoys you just to annoy you. Best to just try to let it go.

flicker ,

Why, yes. That would be the entire point.

flicker ,

Honestly, this one was correct! Well done.

flicker ,

It shows, friend, it shows.

flicker ,

Yeah... I get it. They can. Shame so many retreat into regurgitating the common, banal tripe.

flicker ,

My truck driver boyfriend went to Beaver one time and now he has an "I love Beaver" keychain that I love.

flicker ,

You know what they say about foot size.

(You're welcome in advance, whoever I set this up for.)

flicker ,

This is exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks!

flicker ,

I was so massively disappointed when it evolved and just kept getting less cute...

flicker ,

I'm unbelievably lazy and this is what I do. Torch on every surface and then a patch of grass. Never had a problem.

I give people playing Minecraft with me the same warning I give my partners.

This is a blanket warning that everything I build on is chaotic in the same way my mind is, and any time you spend in my sandbox is time you spend rolling the dice on a fun new disaster.

flicker ,

I really want to open and edit this with the thirty thoughts I have at any given moment instead of all the "bad at this" bubbles.

But I know I'll get distracted halfway through.
