Yes. I always use them. I hate when people don't. Oh, so you needed to come over? I would have slowed down if you told me. What are you slowing down for? Move- Oh. You're turning. Wish I would have known that. Dang, I need to pull out and make this turn. Let me wait until that car passes... Oh, they're turning.
It's such a small thing that makes driving safer for you and the people around you.
She might just do that because your experience sounds very similar to her "stories." She also can't move when it happens and is left pretty hobbled until it passes, but moving makes it worse... So I've heard. 👀
Maladaptive daydreaming, also called excessive daydreaming, is when an individual experiences excessive daydreaming that interferes with daily life. It is a proposed diagnosis of a disordered form of dissociative absorption, associated with excessive fantasy that is not recognized by any major medical or psychological criteria.
I think it's just the name given to "extreme" day dreaming. It's like having a TV on in the background for me. Sometimes I'll just blink and realize I've been gone for a bit. 😅
I'm screen shotting this and the other reply. My friend asked for a spoon and I was like, "regular or little?" and she acted like I was insane. How the tables have turned.
It was based on a real life person who was black, not white: The creator addressed it and said it was intentional. He did it out of concerns that people who see it as a race issue versus a gender issue. He thought it would widen the audience.
Why a middle class kid: Same reason as above. He wanted to show that a "Good" kid from a "Good" family could find themselves being harmed by red pill content.
Why is it about "incels?" : Yes, that main case was about an older boy/teen/man, but there have been a rise in UK stabbings and sexual assault of kids by kids. It's not specifically about incels, but the culture that's creating them.
They're trying to say that men are just evil: No, they are not. It's literally trying to do the opposite. It's trying to show that these men and boys are not just evil for evils sake, or born with it, but that the ideas are fed and nurtured through family, friends, social media, etc. It showing that even a really good kid from a good family can be made into something twisted if their nursed on this kind of content.
How come women get away with this but men don't: It's a result of the patriarchy. Because women are seen as lesser, even their crimes are seen as lesser (think of female teachers that "have sex" with students). Women are weak, so if you're hurt by a woman, you're weak. You were beat up by your girlfriend? Pussy, it's not like she was a guy. He probably did something wrong, Yada, Yada, Yada. Those ideals shield some women from rightful punishment and block men from getting justice and care. (that's actually very feminist of this video!)
This had nothing to do with the mansosphere or red pill content, it's judt a hit piece on men: Men =/= red pill. The content is for men, but not all men consume it. The idea that this young man in the show who was lying about his relationships, pleading to know if the therapist liked him, went after a girl thinking she'd be "weak" enough after having her nudes shared (and thinking the guy that sent them messed up because he should have gotten more first), and then stabbing her to death when he was still rejected is the result of those toxic teachings. He even called himself a good guy because he didn't touch her, even though he killed her.
Being held accountable can feel like an attack, but I hope you move past that initial anger. The show is actually very sympathetic towards the boy and his family. The show runner made the show to bring attention to the pressure cooker we are keeping men and boys in in the name of being masculine. Instead of thinking of it as a hit piece, think of it more of a man to man talk.
Hey, I know this is random, but was the pain, like, in the lower abdomen and like... Not really a muscle cramp, but deeper?And did physical activty make it better or worse? Asking for a friend. 👀
You lean a little. I don't know how to word with without being crass, but I feel like if you're standing the cheeks are together and you can't get in there. 😅
I have an issue with being remembered in person (at least that's what my therapist said). I will go to different chains of the same store on rotation, or stop going to a store all together if they remember me "too much." I'll wait until shift changes or that it's been long enough that they've forgotten about me. I've stopped going to certain places all together if there's no alternatives. Outside of lemmy, I have no social media. I don't want anyone to ever be able to look me up. Apparently people don't do that.
Using different cutlery based off of meal size/how long you want to savor something (ex: You like ice cream, so you may eat it with a smaller spoon so it lasts longer.).
Wondering what people were thinking/picturing when they bought their clothes (not in a "wow, that's ugly, what were they thinking" but what they saw themselves as. Did they see this suit and think of themselves as a ceo? Did she buy thay dress and imagine the places she'll wear it? That sort of thing).
Having multiple paths to one place. I could get to my classes or office multiple ways. I would rotate, take these stairs one day, this elevator the next, etc.
I believed everyone had some kind of food that would give them the boo-boos. I'm actually just lactose intolerant.
My mom and I actually talked about this. We love each other very much, but, outside of horror movies, most of our interests are different. On a car rise we went thought some things. Favorite song, movie, etc. As I've gotten older and gotten the language for it, I've explained what overwhelms me and when I need to be alone and our relationship has gotten way better. We actually had a fight last week and it was pretty... Normal. I had said something snippy, and told her soon after I didn't even feel that way because I was upset and was snapping at her, which is why I wasn't ready to talk to her. She actually let me cool off and we spoke later, explained ourselves, and made plans for if the situation happens again.
My mom has put a lot of work into understanding me and giving me the space to make mistakes. I learned a lot of her quirks and preferences through trial and error as a kid, but she had to do that with me as an tight lipped adult. It's not 100%, there are still things I prefer to discuss with someone else, but the work as really been paying off for us.
It's my cringe weeb account from when I was, like 10. I'm talking "NekoOniBakaChan_xx@wtf.com" levels of cringe.
