Oh yeah white (+other) trash spectacle content was a thing on TLC and other daytime TV looong before internet influencers were big.

Oh the explanation is just that it's a form of "benevolent" sexism that has its roots in one of the deeper layers of old-school misogyny. It basically goes like this: "women are smarter and trickier than men and use all that intelligence to seduce and lie to honest hardworking men and cause them to sin." In that school of thought it's how Eve brought down Adam and Delilah brought down Samson. It also provides a convenient excuse to publicly execute that weird old woman on the edge of town (who coincidentally inherited a bunch of land from her dead husband). Clearly she got all that land from her conniving woman tricks and is now using that secret evil knowledge to keep it from honest God-fearing men. It's also why you can just ignore your wife when she asks for help with the baby or household chores, or to be reassured about the relationship. She's just using her secret woman tricks to control you, don't fall for it!

Unironically yeah. There's more ways for a girl to pick up a restrictive eating disorder (family pressure, wider social pressure, more sports that care about weight like gymnastics and dance) but men can absolutely still get one and this is the most common way. And I really should have specified restrictive because binge eating disorder is pretty common in both sexes. Although orthorexia is also kinda coming into vogue for both sexes.

Patient - their own vomit. They ate so fast they puked then just kept re-eating it. Had to be dragged away. Mentioned this in a VtM group that thought they were edgy. They were like "well you can't eat anything that's not blood or you'll puke it up" and I was like "but I can just keep re-eating the puke right?" You could hear a pin drop in that chat.

Also lots of weird day-old congealed milk in juice mixers. See that one a lot actually. They scream at you for clearing out their room but you have to do it to keep them from poisoning themselves or getting weird infections.

Oh hey that's the main way men get eating disorders!

they'll also cover a rental and I can have a living room and a washer and depending on the type of stipend pocket the rest.

Also if you have no intention of staying in the city at all. If I take a 12 week contract it would be ridiculous to stay in a hotel for all 3 months.

I'm happy for you that you had a parent that made you feel loved enough to miss them.

Honestly it was more because they complained about how hard it was to raise us constantly. Clearly it was a terrible idea so why would I do it?

OP

Reminiscent / a version of Yaldabaoth / Chnoubis "The Demiurge"

  • Snake with the head of a lion
  • usually a negative / evil figure. Occasionally invoked / inscribed positively / for protection
  • said to be born of the concept of wisdom (Sophia) who attempted to create something without the other half of her syzygy. On it's creation yaltabaoth was expelled from heaven (The Pleroma or "fullness") into the material world (The Kenoma or "emptiness"). It dragged Sophia into the material world with it and shattered her into a multitude of fragments. It then created the earth and imprisoned those fragments of Sophia in the Kenoma as humans, doomed to reincarnate into the material world until they achieve gnosis and are able to ascend back into The Pleroma.

Note: Also reminiscent of another thing.

Favorite Material? (sh.itjust.works)

for anything, anything at all. May help to provide your specific craft for reference.

I'm just very partial to a good twill. Soft. Drapes beautifully. Timelessly classy. Just blew my nose on a scrap from an old garment that made it into the recycled rag pile and it was just so soft on my nose. Twills are just the best and if it's an option for a project I'll probably pick it.

Anybody else got a mildly irrational preference for a material, weave, etc?

cross-posted from: https://piefed.social/c/asklemmy/p/2138089/what-do-you-know-of-something-like-this

I made a blender model and animation of this thing I experienced to show how it looks like and moves, and to use that as a way to find out if someone knows what it is, where or why. I don't know much more and am wondering what others know based on their encounters. It's somewhere at some time, seems huge. The discs are flattish and don't reflect light other than from the edges. I've tried posting in a few communities and get mostly aggravated answers, or overtly focusing on how I got this knowledge (almost like I've done something forbidden when it's not an aspect I care about), and one got modded hidden.
