  • I've had a classmate who was bipolar. Super lovely girl, she would sometimes feel more sensible if the medication changed but I've never thought of her as needing to be treated with any special considerations when interacting socially. She got married and had kids and is still going well.

    A close friend of my mother was married to a bipolar woman. She tried to kill him with a kitchen knife on one occasion, and in another, she effectively set the house on fire- they lost everything.

    So, I don't really know what to say to you. My understanding is that your mileage may vary and by a lot. Personally I believe it's manageable in most cases with proper healthcare, and you probably already deal with several bipolar people day to day - you just don't notice it. But, I'm not an expert so take this with a pinch of salt.

  • I don't, I've never seen the ad, i don't know what is it about which is why I don't get the joke. All I see is some sort of dumb kid with a lollipop ruining their own photo of an owl. Something tells there is a reason and that this is probably not as dumb as it looks but I lack the context.

  • I don't understand why you got so much hate either.

    I find the idea somewhat silly and a bit self contradicting, I'll explain why but first, to answer your question, no, I don't know of any romance movies where the MC is a tatebro asshole.

    Why it's a silly idea: if the MC is such an asshole then it's probably not going to be romance but you would instead have a solid drama/thriller plot device there. She thinks he loves her but instead she gets abused and that's the point of the story.

    You could say though, that it's a romance story in which the male love interest is an incel tatebro asshole and somehow we get a character arc in which he sees the errors of his ways and actually changes, but I'm not sure this would make for a good movie. Perhaps a romantic comedy with some fantasy/magic elements which would explain why he can change so drastically. Something like 'Shallow Hal' would be an example for this category (and not a good movie btw) and the best runner up for your original question. But I still think as a plot idea it would be tacky at best. You'd need some solid writing to pull that off.

  • Ohh I see, I heard of these before. I didn't know they were called universe 25

  • Noooooooooooo

  • Wait, there are default avatars? Who has a default avatar? How do I tell them apart?

    Anyway, in my case, I'm this random you know, and since my account is Mothra I figured the avatar should reflect that

  • Plus palaeontologists would've picked up on other clues if the bones had large muscles attached to them like a buffalo.

  • I had a cheetah running along, occasionally a horse. But not in the city, only on the motorway

  • Wait, what essay?

  • 7/8. There isn't enough pain or rage in this tree scale so those numbers are just an approximation of my feelings

  • For the curious: stink bugs.

    For the extra curious: go check out the link. The last image is worth it

  • For as long as he has to push the boulder, Sisyphus will never be happy.

    So, I don't know. I vote for Hotel Massacre today, might change my mind later

  • I thought of myself as someone against blood sports and you've proven me wrong, take my upvote

  • The most disgusting thing at least for myself was when I caught some stomach flu. A strain on steroids ha. I learned that uncontrollable projectile vomit and projectile diarrhoea are very real things and I hope I don't experience it again. I was house-sitting too, and alone, which made everything more difficult. I lost a pair of pants - they reeked so badly I couldn't wash the smell away. I vomited everywhere in the house, passed out with fever, would wake up hours later, attempt to clean, vomit some more, fall asleep again. Literally I thought I could die dehydrated.

    But for other people my most disgusting thing was that time I was like 8 y/o and ate grilled cow intestines. Now, for context, that's a totally normal dish in South America. But the thing is, these intestines hadn't been properly cleaned. So they had cow shit inside. No, I didn't enjoy them. I started spitting this chewed up barf that looked like slimy porridge. It didn't have much taste or smell but it was like grimy sludge I wasn't enjoying really. Everyone at the table went ewwww ugh oh no oh go wash your mouth omg and gagging. Whatever. Grown ups make a fuss over nothing.

  • Wow. Yeah I understand your fascination, I think I'd be the same in your shoes. But in the patient shoes, I'd be sad to hear that guy say he's touching my femur. Because it's a testament to the damage my body has, and I'm sure I'd get really anxious and depressed about it. So yeah.

    The gross story was gross though. I hope it wasn't too painful for the patient.

  • Thank you for sharing!
