Re: Reader Overly Strict With Teen Daughter

From puberty up I was allowed to make my own grooming and makeup mistakes. I'm sure my mother cringed quite a bit, but it allowed me to learn through trial and error and left me with bodily autonomy.

Re: How to Say Thank You for a Gift That's Expensive but Tacky

Depending on how tacky it was I'd put it up for all to envy and admire. I would thank the person via a thank you card and tell them I appreciated it. Then I would start a tacky themed collection based on said object that would make Jon Waters cry with joy.

Mary, my mother is so glad that in return for her PTSD, depression, physical ailments, exposure to dangers chemicals and dirty bombs, and almost dying that you went on to honor her sacrifice by having "cute kids". Thanks, I'm sure it will help with her nightmares and medical bills.

@dollbones we are all goddesses, now come on over to my place to look at art I made with my menstrual blood and cat hair. While we look at my art we can drink some raspberry leaf tea and munch on some placenta and breast milk hors d'oeuvres and talk about our beautiful vaginas.

YES! I can't believe I would forget that. "Sorry my picture was triggering, but you just shouldn't have looked at it! What do you mean I should put a warning in front of it?! YOU'RE JUST A FASCIST ART NAZI!!!!!!". But when you talk to mom's it's "YOU'RE A HORRIBLE BABIE HATER!!".

We've become a much more open society on the topic of sex/ anything that comes out of the vagina. Women have glorified the experience of childbirth since the 1970's in a way that makes them akin to gods, or at least that's what I get from their "creating life" type stories. There is nothing wrong with feeling empowered by child birth, however it is painful and dangerous and not everyone is as open about thise subject as others.There is something to be said for the vulnerable and slightly embarrassing state that labor puts you in which makes many more reserved people opt out of photos and video, it's not that it's not special, it's just that they think it's a more private affair and that they don't want everyone looking at their most intimate parts. There is a component of feeling empowered and wanting attention which drives them to forcing images into the faces of others on FB, a place where you can control what others see of you but not what others post.

Yeah, I gagged when I read that part. The first train of thought was okay, but then I continued reading and imagined pee? water? I don't know? Trickling down her leg at the supermarket or walmart and her being like "Oh no, it's okay I'm totes not in labor yet, but I do have a soft cervix thanks to that raspberry leaf tea!!!!!!1!!1!!!!!1!!!!!!!". Something about "soft cervix" in the context of a FB update makes me cringe to my soul.

I can totally understand Emily, like I bring art into this world and like I don't get why there is so much hate for the videos I post of myself daily as I sit in my underwear painting, singing out loud to my "painting" playlist, and talking to my cats all whilst I drink coffee I've accidentally confused with my brush bath. I just want everyone to see what I've created/am in the process of creating, like everyone should love my reference photos of murder victims and survivors of severe facial trauma because I take their personal tragedies and turn them into ART!!!!!! Like it's not inappropriate, triggering or disgusting, it's art! I'm a process oriented artist and I'm sorry if my images fucking offend people. Cheesus.

SnackBandit,

1. Bad triggering/insensitive jokes, like rape jokes, racist jokes, jokes about murder, jokes about Katrina, jokes about tsunamis, jokes about tornadoes, those jokes are never ever funny and you never know who you are unleashing your dipshittery on. It's a fucking serious subject and the point is that you don't joke about it, just like there is never going to be a funny joke about the holocaust, there is never going to be a funny joke about natural disasters.
2. Don't try to play the trigger game, "Well cats could be triggering for me, boo hoo hoo.", do you know how insensitive and ignorant you sound? DO YOU? Obviously not especially since the hurricane is effecting people right now and it's completely inappropriate for people who are going through this shit to be subjected to the idiotic and tasteless comments about how their suffering is less than yours and they should stop complaining. Snow could be triggering for some people and yes, I would indeed be sorry if it really was for you, but I'm going to go ahead and say it's not a trigger for you and add a hefty fuck you to that as well.
3. YOUR NEEDS. I'm sorry, your needs? What need is that? To shit all over people who are going through horrible life altering natural events? The need to act like somehow your superior because you have "been there and done that" and it's just so beneath you to show compassion? Because I would peg that as your need.
4. We see the south's inability to handle snow and ice every year, but that does not make us better, it doesn't make the hell it puts people through funny and yes, many southerners can deal with ice and snow, but if you all could handle it it certainly wouldn't make the news.

You'll be laughing out of the other side of your face if it snows or
gets icy, all us people up north will just laugh and laugh at the idea of you dying and the damage caused to your area. We'll crack jokes about how stupid you all are and tell you to wake us up when it gets as bad as it did in '91.
We get snow up here, not fucking hurricanes so no one is
prepared to deal with high winds and flooding in the middle of summer. Natural disasters and dangerous weather conditions are not pissing contests, it's like a rape joke, it's not funny, it's triggering and offensive, so kindly STFU.

As a person living in Manhattan and one who narrowly avoided being evacuated by a single block all of these people can go fuck themselves. This isn't funny, not one single thing about this is funny, partially because of damage and mostly because people have already died. Fuck you. Find something else to joke or better yet stop trying to make this about you.

Thank god you weren't injured! When kids get older and are walking and they fall down, a lot of times they look for cues from their parents and if mom and dad are panicking they panic too. Keeping a calm head and acting like it's not a big deal is better than stirring your kid into panic.

That's a pretty good story and it's really nice that they offered to pay.

I can only assume my cats have been unaffected by this earthquake as they have been catting it up all day(sleeping, looking cute, rolling over, sleeping.....).

Bouncing babies? Last time I checked babies are not made of rubber, if they were a lot less of us would have dents in our heads.

For real. No one around me noticed either, I'm sure if I had been sitting down I would have felt it. According to my mom it was just enough to make things vibrate and the pull cords on the fan swing.

Apparently if you're out running you don't feel a 5.8 earth quake. I would guess that a child who's napping would either sleep through it or go back to sleep slightly puzzled and not give a damn, well unless your parent came in and started acting like it was the end of the world and checking you for injuries.
