Exactly. "Do you know a woman who has not received creepy DMs because I sure as hell don't. I just got one 10minutes ago."Too lazy to rewrite it xD I thought of "Do you women receive creepy DMs", but then the answer is so obviously yes, you know?

They get so twisted up and I just look over and my short, bald, very beloved husband and then I shrug.
I didn't even dare look at it cus I know how it would go. How bad was it? Not brave enough to sneak a peak lol
It's not that bad imo, but I have a certain attitude variance from monkey lol.I didn't even dare look at it cus I know how it would go. How bad was it? Not brave enough to sneak a peak lol

Wanted to share with you all what's the possibly the coolest thing you'll see today:
Looks like a JRPG final boss in her final form :D
Apparently it's a depiction of this Slavic goddess

Bonus: slavic female-fronted metal band Arkona wrote a song about her!
I already made a thread about a video essay today, so I'll just drop this here. I saw this when it first came out and I've been waiting for an essay like this since.

I don't know if I'm brave enough today to make a thread about this. I can imagine the first few tl;Dr posts >.<
At least I have more video essays to watch now whee!
Thanks guys.
I did it >.<I would love a thread about this! But yeah, it would need to be properly framed... Take your time :)
I can't (actually I can) believe what Diablo Cody had to face with both Juno and Jennifer's Body...
I did it >.<
Why Jennifer's Body Failed
This is the essay I've been waiting for since I watched Jennifer's Body in theaters and was baffled by the reception. I know a lot of people are going to have knee-jerk reactions to this topic, so all I ask is you keep an open mind and watch the video.www.resetera.com
This is me just throwing it on a page and hoping it's framed well enough and seeing what happens lol

I was not.
Hell, I didn't make it past the OP:
What?I guess this raises an interesting question - should Netflix be held responsible for the regressive contents of its shows?
To be fair, it's not just women who are ignored. People not reading OPs and posting drive-bys reacting to the thread title is a forum-wide problem across every single type of topic there is. 😂I'm a bit bummed out that the conversion in the Jennifer's Body thread couldn't really take off around the premise of the OP. Most posts seem to be drive-by comments without any consideration for the reasons a thread was made about this movie.
I'm beginning to understand what a lot of you were saying about women being ignored in this forum and how things were forced through the perspective of men a lot of times... and all of this is sadly really typical for a conversation about Jennifer's Body.

It won't help in the short term, but going onto birth control pills really lightened my flow in general. I wouldn't say I was a heavy bleeder before, but now it's rare for my period to last more than 3-4 days.Ughhh is there anything that can be done about heavy bleeding?
I am on day three of my period and it's kicking my ass this time around. There's just a lot of blood. I'm using one of those big pads and even then it's having a hard time soaking in all my body is letting out. It's been a long while it was this bad and honestly it feels like this is the worst it's been.
Any tips or I just gotta ride this wave of extremely heavy flow?
I worry about bcp because my mom has had bad reactions to them and so I worry I may too. But i probably need to do more. My period has been a bit out of balance in the last year. I had months where it was lasting more than a week recently.It won't help in the short term, but going onto birth control pills really lightened my flow in general.

Otherwise, you might want to consider a diva cup (they make them to accommodate for heavy flows) or super tampons. I absolutely hate pads.
Totally feel you on the pill. I've been on it for five years and I'm starting to rethink it. I had a really bad adjustment phase, and I've steadily gained a fair amount of weight since I started it. I'm not saying the pill is fully at fault, but I have definitely had side effects.I worry about bcp because my mom has had bad reactions to them and so I worry I may too. But i probably need to do more. My period has been a bit out of balance in the last year. I had months where it was lasting more than a week recently.
Didn't bother me because the flow wasn't heavy. Just annoying not knowing when it would end.
But currently this amount of heavy flow is unbearable. Can't stand up without feeling so much come out. I don't mind pads. Too nervous to try tampons or diva cups. I worry i will still notice it's there and it will be uncomfortable. Though honestly a diva cup might be better suited to a bad given my current flow.
If it is an option, you might want to contact your OBGYN's office as I believe there are some non-birth control prescriptions that could help with extreme period pain/blood flow.I worry about bcp because my mom has had bad reactions to them and so I worry I may too.

Disclaimer: I'm a white guy who's generally extremely reluctant to poke my nose into spaces which aren't for me, because, well, that's what white dudes do best.
That being said, I'm looking for some advice for my niece when it comes to online gaming.
Basically she's way into gaming (mostly FPS and horror) and I recently helped her mom get her a good gaming PC.
She has a bunch of male friends who also game online but it doesn't seem like they'll be playing any specific games together, but rather using something like hotmic.io and checking in on each other while playing.
Meaning whatever game she's playing will either be single-player or multiplayer with (ew) randoms.
If she's just doing deathmatch, fine, she can just mute everyone. I'm thinking more about if she wants to play something like Apex Legends or CoD: Warzone with a squad. That would necessitate dealing with others.
Now, she's got some skin on her nose, consistently calling out and debating sexist asshole teenagers and reporting pedos.
That being said I don't want her to have to do those things, because even if she puts on a tough act (and this could just be me projecting) I can't see anyone dealing with that garbage without being affected to some degree.
What I'm wondering is basically if there are any spaces for anyone who might want to play cooperative shooters but not deal with complete trash, sexist idiots.
This could be both in terms of games with generally decent player bases, but also social circles (forums etc.) open to people who might not want to be called horrible things for just being non straight male-identifying.
If I still should've kept my nose out of this thread I would gladly be told so, because I'd rather know and not make this into a less comfortable space for anyone.
She's 12, turning 13 in a month. That being said, compared to her peers, she seems to already be well into what's basically an accelerated teenage phase (starting about 2+ years ago) with everything that entails. She's also on the spectrum and seems to (hopefully) be coming out on the other side of a pretty bad bout of depression.I'm curious. How old is she and is she herself looking for less toxic games or places?
That's a good idea. I was thinking about communities which I interact with and which seem to attract people who agree with the viewpoints of tolerance of whomever they're formed around (MinnMAx, Insert Credit, Easy Allies), but maybe that's too simplistic.Her beat bet is find a community that is against that sort of thing to hang out with. Which is hard. I've found a few "safer spaces" through streamers on twitch but that's hit or miss and establishing yourself with the community is kinda difficult.

I'm glad you asked me whether she's looking for these spaces herself because it forces me to analyse my own motivations. She's not asking me, and my question was more preemptive than anything. Basically, I want to be able to have some semblance of an answer if she were ever to ask me. That being said I don't want to be paternalistic or overbearing, because even though I want to protect every member of my family from harm, she can make her own decisions and me barging into her space could easily push her away at this stage in her life.
Whenever she comes to complain about the abusive idiots that she's been pushing back against, she does so with a mix of exhaustion and also, I feel, pride. She wants us to know what they said and what her reply was. Meaning that there seems to be both positive and negative feelings connected to it, although I'm very unsure of the proportions and the long-term effects.
Maybe young people just assume that the entire online gaming sphere is toxic and bigoted, and that precludes them from ever asking the question "are there non-toxic gaming spaces?" because the notion of such a thing isn't even a part of their world?

Thanks; I really appreciate your insights. I might talk to her a little bit about adapting to mood fluctuations.Considering her age it is appropriate that you are looking out for her. I do the same thing for my 12 year old. Being available to talk to about her experiences in online gaming is maybe the most helpful thing you can do. Talking about what kind of behaviour she encounters, how it makes her feel and how she handles it can give her an opening if needed. The only unsolicited advise I would maybe give to her is that it is good to monitor your mood. If you are low on energy or just a bit blue, then it is better for that moment to avoid a game that has more toxic players. You don't want that toxicity to seep in, in an unguarded moment.
The worst case scenario is quite a bit worse than that actually, considering her age. Monitoring it kinda importantThanks; I really appreciate your insights. I might talk to her a little bit about adapting to mood fluctuations.
I suppose the worst case scenario is to have to internalise everything that you're exposed to online because you lack a pressure release. Talking to her parents and me about it is probably a good sign and a helpful venting tool.
I'm sorry; I worded that poorly because in my mind there are implicit worsening effects down the road from a lack of pressure venting. The worst case first reaction to toxicity is internalising it; which then could bring with it a cascade of other knock-on effects. She has a history of self-harm as a coping mechanism for her mental state in general, so we are all too aware of other potential manifestations. I appreciate you bringing it up.The worst case scenario is quite a bit worse than that actually, considering her age. Monitoring it kinda important
