the main dude on that show basically just gets into relationship after relationship after relationship, but the instant either he or the woman display the slightest hint of a trait that doesn't perfectly match their ideal version of a partner he breaks it off and basically goes "someday the absolute 100% perfect girl for me will just fall into my arms, as i wander slackjawed around NYC"

Like I said the titular mother, his children, their lives together; none of it matters to Ted Mosby. He wants the woman who liked a blue french horn and married a friend of his for a decade. His wife dying is less tragic in the story than convenient, and it comes across so crass you wonder if Mosby didnt have her killed now that his original love was single again.

His true love by the by, dumped him originally because he was a terrible person with no direction or value. He never changes or grows, she just gets worn down by time enough to be ok with being with him.

He gets everything he wants and more. His own children who listened to his story tell him that obviously he loves New York woman still despite him refering to her as "aunt" to them for their whole lives and that he should stop talking to them and run out and profess his love to her because she must love him too.

The writers unapologetically said this was their vision for the show.

I wonder if throwing food out that they coulda cooked earlier is a common issue in their household, or if their budget is tight in general. Maybe I'm just kinda weird but I tend to buy easy to use ingredients and most nights I just look at what I have around and make something that fits, if I really wanna cook a specific thing I'll buy the stuff the night before. I can't really imagine wasting broccoli like that.

Like it would probably be a good marketing move for Nestle or one of those other supercorps to fund TV shows that imply that relationships and family are poo poo but that buying things makes you feel really super good. It's basically just more insidious subliminal messaging. And sure, it'll benefit your competition too, but it's a rising-tide situation for sellers of consumer goods.

It's ever so slightly less cringey in-universe since the implication is that he doesn't move on for quite a while, but in terms of how the show presents it to us, we find out she died in like the last 15 minutes, and he hooks up with the first girl like 2 minutes later.

And this is after there's an entire episode about letting his feelings for her go, at which point she flies away like a balloon.

Nobody thinks that far ahead, its all just "oh hey people watch this, keep letting them do whatever they want"

The most offended Ive been at a show was a program where a womans entire family is killed by her boyfriend but she marries him anyway because one time he saved her life (not during the family murder) and as a woman she has no other way to repay that kindness and all the other characters treat it as a big favor teh guy is doing her because she has no family so hes marrying down.

You're overthinking it, it's just writers not wanting to upset the status quo of their show. Characters can't change and grow, that's hard to write. Much easier to make them cartoonish.

broccoli specifically just works with almost anything, generic mixed veggies as a side, stir fry, in a creamy pasta dish, soups, salads, outside of dessert I think it'd be a legitimate difficult to find something it pairs badly with. It's also not expensive really but not super cheap either, like 1-2 bucks/lb which is totally reasonable but you can get cheap bone in cuts of meat for same price, just seems like a waste to me.

Hold on to your butts....

My (23f) mom (54f) found my butt plug and now she's not speaking to me

quote:

Sooooo, as the title says, my mother found my butt plug.

There's a but of background to this as my mom comes from a sexually conservative background (she's Catholic) and never really talked to me or my sister about anything regarding our bodies or sex (she literally told me to look up menstruation in the dictionary when I asked her at the age of like 10).

I live at home, and have a boyfriend I've been seeing for 1.5 years now. I spend about 1-3 days put of the week with him, though it's usually only Saturdays (when I'm off from work during the week we'll see each other but doesn't happen all weeks). She absolutely doesn't like this, and no matter how little I see him she complains that it's too much. I largely ignore her because I'm an adult and I don't ever get home past 12 so it's not like I'm bothering anyone.

I think she doesn't like my boyfriend, doesn't like that I spend time with his family and is convinced he's going to leave me and his family hates me.

Anyway, my boyfriend and I like trying new things and he got me anal beads and a butt plug a while back. We keep them at his place as that's where we have sex, but the other night he put the plug in my purse because he wanted me to practice using it to make anal sex more comfortable. It's been in my purse and yesterday my mom went through my bag, took my butt plug, and kept it in her room. She complained about it to my sister, my sister alerted me, and this morning I took it back when she wasn't looking.

The problem is that she's ignoring me now and isn't talking to me. This morning she made breakfast and made sure to offer everyone but me (not a big deal, but really petty and childish on her part), and last night complained because I went to the gym an hour before if closed and she immediately assumed I was with my boyfriend having sex and made sure to discuss it with my sister and 18 year old brother.

It's passing me off that she's discussing private matters with the rest of the family. What do I do?

Tl;Dr mom found butt plug, stopped talking to me, discussing my business with family, what do I do?

Edit: many people suggested I move out, trust me, I'm working on it. In the process of getting a better paying job as the current one doesn't pay enough. But I'm building my savings and applying to jobs every day

im not a mourner by any stretch of the imagination but on what loving planet would anybody ever think preventing someone from visiting a funeral of immediate family or someone else they are close to is a good and ethical idea??? i mean im not as big into drug culture as i used to be, but UH i really don't recall funerals being a part of them beyond an unfortunate likelihood of the lifestyle.

like barring everything else infuriating in that post, can we just take a minute to appreciate that monumental doozy going on right there?

Yeah, I woulda punched that guy in the throat and hitchhiked to the funeral if I had to. I understand she might not be able to do that. I didn't hesitate to go to the funeral of my alcoholic friend just because I'm sober. It wasn't even a car crash or whatever, he literally drank himself to death over time.

After about 15 years of abuse his organs were mush and he was having seizures and he just loving died despite his and my efforts. Was I furious? Sure. Would I have let anything short of my own death stop me from honoring my lost friend? No.

Hell, if this girl can't make the funeral, she should hold a wake in her home and then break up with her bf and :sever: every naysaying fucker from her life.

My [32F] husband [34M] has recently told me about his bizarre anal bleaching fetish and now things have become weird.

u/bleachingthrowaway

Hello all, bit of a strange situation so bear with me, also any advice is appreciated. My husband and I have been married for 4 years, together for 7. Everything has been going fantastic and I've had almost zero problems up to this. We've had a healthy relationship with the exception of minor problems most couples have, but that is not a big deal. However recently I've noticed that every time I walk into his "den" (mancave might be another word) where his computer is, he will quickly close whatever he's looking at or switch tabs. I noticed nearly every time I walk into the room this happened. He works until 6PM and I get home at 3:30ish, so I decided to check his computer (I know I shouldn't have, no need to comment. I just have had some trust issues in the past). What I found was really strange, but at the same time I was relieved he was not cheating. It was "anal bleaching" porn, and a bunch of searches for anal bleaching. For those who don't know (I know I didn't at first), anal bleaching is "the process of lightening the color of the skin around the anus".

We're a pretty kinky couple and I know he watches porn but I found it odd because it seemed literally all of his porn searches included bleaching, assholes, etc. I decided to do (what I thought) was the right thing and sit him down and talk about it. He came home from work and I told him I needed to talk to him. I wasn't threatening, and apologized for searching his history. I told him I'm fine with his fetishes but I'd prefer he told me, no matter how kinky. That's where things got weird. He told me his plans to get his rear end in a top hat "bleached" and was going to surprise me on my birthday with getting MY rear end in a top hat bleached too (my birthday is in October). I was really weirded out and shut him down immediately. He dropped it and that was it for a few days.

Now though, he's become weird. During sex he'll always ask to do anal, and when I comply (or when we're doing doggy) he'll comment on my rear end in a top hat and how "it should be much whiter". Last night before bed he asked me "have you reconsidered my offer?" I acted like I didn't know what he was talking about, so he said "the bleaching". He's always in his den and I know what he's looking at in there.

I don't know, he's just become obsessed with anal bleaching and it's seriously weirding me out. How can I address this maturely and tell him I'm NOT going through with it and neither should he? He never used to be like this

TL;DR husband told me about his fetish, now that's all he talks about


Happy birthday :confuoot:

"pretty kinky" tends to mean overweight, a choker and MAYBE being lightly restrained.
