Invisible Clergy posted:From your post, I feel like we're on the same page and you're not trying to frame any of this as like, a gotcha. That one. Do that one. Assigning gender associations with arbitrary objects or activities is dumb and no one should do it. I know it's a bit of a process killing the mean dad in your head calling you slurs for cleaning under your fingernails or mailing someone a birthday card, but it doesn't mean doing it is pointless. They do it in Denmark by desegregating the toy aisle and letting kids of any gender buy houses or trucks or nerf guns and nothing terrible has happened. Oh, absolutely. 100% on the same page; apologies if that wasn't completely clear, typed word is a lovely medium at its best and also I'm Australian which means that I'm part of a proud group of people for whom "yeah, nah, yeah" is a contextually appropriate answer to something, and also we tend to frame a lot of our agreeing responses in the form of a "Yes, however ***" where *** is either additional supporting information or a more granular dive into something that the other person already touched upon. Invisible Clergy posted:To me, it does sound ridiculous because I choose not to view arbitrary things as gendered. I know not everyone feels that way, but I find it a much more pleasant way to live versus worrying everyone will take away my man card if I use an umbrella, wash my hands after using a bathroom, or decorate a pumpkin or whatever. Yeah, nah, yeah. I agree it's ridiculous, and I'm (thankfully) not one of those dudes that has to fear losing their 'man card' or anything like that. Living your life hyperaware of having to keep the mask up 100% of the time and never betray any weakness or do something that others regard as 'unmanly' sounds exhausting, and frankly self-destructive. One time about 15 years ago I brought in a birthday cake that I'd baked to work in an office where supplying your own cake on your birthday was the culture, and upon learning that I'd baked it myself one of my co-workers (a lady of about 60 years of age) very cuttingly remarked "you'll make someone a wonderful wife someday" (there was absolutely nothing genial or well-meaning about her tone). I didn't say anything at the time (partially because why give someone like that the satisfaction and partially because I was really loving timid at the time), but now I'm torn between wishing I had my current level of self-confidence and just snatched the plate of cake out of her hand and binned it, or just pitying her, because way to dunk on someone by essentially saying "Ha! You are bad because you did something associated with women, of which I am a group member".

Arsenic Lupin posted:When I was a college, there was a guy in my circle who'd lost an eye as an infant (cancer), and had had to get new eyes made as he grew. One day I'd just made a sundae at campus dining and I came back and found his eye on top of it. I just said "This one's yours now" and went back to make myself a fresh one. He was very disappointed. (This was how I found out he had a glass eye; I hadn't known before.) I really don't understand why people do this. Its not like you can just pop the eye back in, you have to go to the bathroom and wash the eye/your hands for a not funny prank. I know they are trying to weird peoppe out but it seems like more trouble than its worth.

I’m 18 and have been told to expect total hearing loss by 30 “if I’m lucky” it doesn’t really bother me to lose my hearing because I have plenty of time to adapt and learn asl. I was recently fitted for hearing aids and use them at work so I can hear the customers but I don’t like them much. It’s hard to describe but it’s like hearing wrong. Either way it gets the job done. My whole family is hearing and none of them except my brother know asl and I’m primarily only using asl at home to learn faster. It doesn’t bother my parents and they help me practice lip reading (I’m not very good but I’m working on it) and are starting to learn sign as well. This kid owns.

Prosthetic eyes don't seem like something you will have a lot of but you go through them quicker than you would think. In 15 years I've lost 1 and had at least 6 more made for me, and I'll be getting another one in a couple of weeks. This is also assuming someone doesn't go full "Last Action Hero" and get a bunch of custom ones made. Personally I find that too ostentatious. I'm happy with mine that you can't tell are fake until my iris starts glowing blue.

AITA for asking for my breastmilk back?quote:Long story short but I had someone who I thought was my friend ask for my breastmilk for jewelry to be made. At first I was all for it, but after we stopped being friends I realized very quickly the friendship was very toxic. As in she told me she wanted my next child to be born with her sons disability, and escalating fights I would have with my husband. Which felt like she was doing only because we rarely argue and her husband isn’t the best. It was a lot of her complaining about her husband/issues and I spent most of the friendship hating how I never got to have a bad day since hers were always worse.

Oh, well that's good. I like the policy of that theater chain not allowing children in r-rated movies not just for my personal convenience, but also to prevent at least some small contingent of people from dragging their toddler to "Hostel" or whatever even if they do keep their mouths shut.

No Country is more mentally disturbing than visually for the most part but it does start with that brutal bloody strangulation and then the other guy with the cow de-brainer thing. I suppose if you think the whole movie will continue to be that bloody you might check out early, but in context, it’s really just to establish Anton as a terrifying force so you know nothing good will come from him. Good flick, let the guy watch it unless he’s literally forcing a child to watch it.

I saw Jurassic Park when I was 10. That night I hallucinated a TV at the foot of my bed playing the scary parts, and then as I went to the bathroom a raptor jumped me from the side room I had to go past. Sleep apnea nightmares are fun, I'm really glad I don't have those any more. I don't know if traditional sleepwalking is like that because it's always depicted as someone unconscious, but I was lucid moving through the real world with part of my brain insisting dream stuff was going on. Not quite a visual hallucination, more like fighting my own imagination but in a way/dreamstate where I couldn't use reality as an argument.
