  • I agree with other commenters saying basically it's normal, but she should be allowed to live her life. You are not your first thought, your lizard brain will react to a stimulus with an immediate thought, but what make you be you is how you react to that thought. Do you lash out, do you act, do you beat yourself up, or do you say no thank you to that thought. Those are the things that matter.

    I think there is something to be said for boundaries. Everyone she meets in life is going to have different boundaries, including future roomies. She would do well to be mindful of what people in her closer vicinity are and aren't comfortable with. My fiance once had a roommate who really liked being nude, and my fiance was not okay with it. We are also learning about the asexual spectrum in our house as we realized that my fiance is Gray-sexual. So we are navigating new understandings of boundaries, consent, and desire. It might be a good idea for you to do some contemporary research on these things, and after gaining a robust understanding, sharing that knowledge with your family could be beneficial.

    But if you charge into that and follow it up with "so you should wear more clothes" then you'll have lost the pot. Share that knowledge and let them run with it instead

  • Pakas and Bombas are 2 brands that I have a good experience with. Expensive but worth it imo

  • I spend a lot of time curating from my discover weekly and release radar. But if I really like a band, ill go into the similar bands at the bottom and sometimes I find a few good things there too. A key thing is I aggressively tell Spotify when I don't like something, marking songs or artists as hidden.

    What are you into/what do you want to get into?

  • My nieces, 3 and 5, are so smart. My brother and his wife are doing a lot to avoid the damaging things our parents did. That's what I like best, all the cycle breaking going on these days. This is a direct result of therapy getting good and largely accessible/shared

  • Well, you're digging into the mechanics behind the metaphor. Vampires are the Rich Monster. They have wealth, status, charm, everyone thinks good of them. But they are greedy, corrupt, bloodsucking. But they don't know that, they don't see themselves at all. Rich people are often incapable of self reflection.

    If you dig into the mechanics of the metaphor, you miss its purpose. The plot of many stories is not the point of the story at all. And such is the case with vampires

  • Sometimes it helps my fiance if I disrupt then with something benign and out of left field. When their circling on about something, if I ask about whether or not they remembered to preheat the ketchup or sent the vegetable tickets to their dear aunt hulk hogan, their brain does a reset

  • When you get down to it, law, society, what have you, exists for the purpose of making things better for people that could be overlooked or trampled otherwise. Granting legal personhood to nature achieves that in a number of way

  • Sounds kind of like my first time a couple years ago. Sex can be a great way to bond with awesome people even if it's only for a night. I cant say I know your life, but if you take each experience as a bonding opportunity, you'll have a fulfilling experience I tbink.

  • Did he say this recently or something ???

  • Mtg is what makes hasboro successful today. Tho their 10 year plan may be to milk the cow dead by then

  • Lula seems to be a great leader. I hope he and his allies maintain control of Brazil for a while
