I genuinely feel like that absolutely shouldn't be allowed. I'm guessing every single person who commented on the post has gotten a notification about being banned?
The post was the dude who said he got asked to leave due to his outfit
I was headed back home from Japan to Washington, and the line for checked luggage at the Tokyo airport was groan-inducingly long. I got there well before the flight and still ended up waiting 20-30 minutes. As I slowly got closer to the counter, several people walked up, realized what was going on, then dejectedly walked to the back of the line. And then there was our hero.
This younger Eastern European dude, probably early 20s, walks up, sees the line, then starts trying to have a conversation with the guy behind me. He was very clearly doing the "Hey, let's be buddies and I can cut you" thing, but the guy behind me wasn't having it. Eventually he tells our young friend "Hey man, you have to go to the back of the line." Things take a turn and the main character goes from uncharming but chummy to telling my line comrade to "fuck off," threw in some "What are you gonna do about it," and got in the guy's face, puffing out his chest and everything.
Now mind you, this is at like noon in a Japanese airport. In a place where everyone had been incredibly respectful and deferential, this stood out. I had also turned around and told the guy to get to the back of the line, and him puffing his chest out was less effective since I'm 6'4". Neither me nor the guy behind me was going to take his bait and get in a scuffle with him, and it was just super odd behavior. So we just waited for the next time one of the airline people came by, told them what was going on, and the 10 other people in line around us corroborated our story. She removed him and told him he'd have to take another flight.
Hilariously, this was the Hawaiian Airlines flight and it was the only one that day, so I assume he had to catch a flight the next day. I still think about him. I can't really fathom what he thought was going to happen. I wonder if he goes through life having interactions like that and just thinking, man, the world is so unfair to me. It was such a strange interaction, with an adult bully.
Discussion post
There is so much research that could and should be done with PMDD (and many other issues women deal with) but hey, we gotta make sure the men never have to suffer pain or discomfort of any sort.
Anyway I'm interested in hearing from fellow sufferers where you are at with addictions.
I only learned a few years ago addiction runs deep on my father's side and I think there may be some on my mother's side but not commonly known, unsure though.
Anyway I've had to come to terms with me having a very addictive personality, I have addiction issues with food, sugar and after my gastric sleeve surgery I started abusing alcohol.
I take edibles to help with my diagnosed insomnia and when my PMDD symptoms are very bad. But I have to really be on guests to make sure I don't end up addicted and it does scare me.
If you feel comfortable in participating, I would like to see if there could be a pattern of addiction for women with PMDD,, perhaps as a result of self medicating to cope with our symptoms.
Happy to hear any thoughts and opinions
Edit- I forgot to say I've been sober for about 9 months, I got a hold of it before it became full fledged alcoholism. I will not start drinking again though
Managed to catch it before it got deleted. There were only about 8 comments and most of them said it was fetish slop, one person called out OOP for doing it multiple times. OOP has now deleted their account
I'm 37, soon 38 and in the past couple of years had issues with products under my eyes. I have purple-ish undereyes that I'm quite self conscious about so I try to always have cover.
Well it became almost impossible, whatever I did the product would separate or the other word I've spent 10min trying to think of)
I tried multiple primers, moisturisers, techniques and sometimes it kind of worked, sometimes not. Spent what is a lot of money for me on Too Faced Born This Way concealer, but even that one gave me the same issues.
The wrinkles situation is what it is, we can't fully avoid makeup settling in fine lines.
I also realised I needed to colour correct because when the concealer worked well, it still didn't give the coverage I wanted, it became almost a bit grey.
So in to Sephora I went and asked for help, and we tried both green and peach colour correctors and peach was the one to go for. (I have blue undertones)
We tried a combination that worked, but then we tried the Tarte product, which for good reason was sold out. It was great, so once it was back in stock I ordered it.
(Side note, it was in stock on Tarte's own website but it was £3 more expensive and £6 shipping fee!!) So I waited for it to be in stock in Sephora and ordered it.
I thought maybe I was bamboozled and when I use it at home it won't work.
Man was I wrong. It's so freakin good!
Is it perfect? No, but it's not reasonable to think my undereyes can transform to that of a 20 year old, but it's by far the best I've found in the past 5 years.
The fact that I can literally just slap it on, without primers or going nuts on moisturisers, and it has the colour correction 'built in' and it goes on so well with a concealer brush and it looks good for hours!
Minor spoiler from Season 2 ep 5
Husband and I are Brits, so this question comes from general ignorance.
In the episode we continue to see the family with the dad who got hypoglycemia because he was rationing his insulin, it's a whole thing about health insurance etc and how they earn too much for one type of cover but too little for another type of cover.
However, an unhoused woman gets a chest x-ray for diagnosing, but I guess it's obvious she won't be able to pay, so how does that work in real life? Is it a type of 'duty of care'?
