One of the best underrated episodes

Season 4, episode 7. So so good.

Its incredible.

Italy season is just okay, but this episode was almost perfect. It just all feels so jersey shore in its purity and wholeness.

The squad goes to riccione beach and Deena and Nicole get obliterated because Snookie is sad about Gionni and Deena is sexually frustrated. They start getting drunk as soon as their trip starts and they just keep going until they end up making out together for hours and hours. The part where they find a random bar playing house music is amazing. Theyre dancing so hard, Deena dances her undies off and Snooki runs into a bush. Jenni and Sammi were annoyed and that was annoying because my god, what else would be happening if this quality TV wasnt being made by the meatballs? I get that everyone was sad for real life reasons but it just felt unnecessarily mean that they were giving so much shit to the girls for going wild. They also crash into a cop car, haaa. This was probably the last time it truly felt like OG shore.

I also loved Snookis lil thumbs up to everyone when Gionnis homophobic ass is okay with her making out with Deena. Gosh, he sucks.

Anyway, loved this episode so much.

Partner blacked out and did something awful

My partner and i have been together for half of our lives, since highschool. We've been through so many phases of our lives together. Our foundation is important and honoring those kids that fell in love means a lot to me. Through every hurdle in our relationship, our foundations and the way we've grown together has kept my garden watered.

Throughout the years, we've had a our ups and downs with alcohol, but have managed to keep our relationship with it healthy enough. I say healthy enough because I would get hung over and very sick the following day so the repercussions felt big. Took me some time to figure out that I just cant have more than 3 drinks or I feel it hard the next day.

In the last year, my partner has cut contact with his family because they are deep in the MAGA cult and I know its caused him a lot of heart ache. He's done therapy on and off but it doesnt seem to help despite him trying multiple therapists. He cant understand how his first source of love could tell us not to have children because they would be mixed and 'his genes deserve better". He cant accept that his family thinks we live with a groomer because they're trans and "Trans people are corrupting the children". He doesnt understand how they're suddenly against vaccines because the republican party told them to be. Its basically impossible for him to have a relationship with them because they're actual white supremacists, homo/transphobic, they're anti science and anti critical thinking. Despite him trying to keep everything surface level, they find a way to be bigots and ruin every opportunity to have a relationship.

Because of this life stress, he has turned to alcohol in alarming ways. At first it was in social settings, but in the last few months he started heavily drinking by himself to the point of multiple black outs a week. There was 1 week where we went on 3 dates and he was drunk before we even got to the restaurant or movie, where he continued to drink there. The drinking was alarming on its own, but he started to become loud and arrogant. A simple opinion about a movie turned into a fight because he had to be right. The way that we would cross the street would upset him because I was overly cautious and waited for cars to pass. The way I would drive too slow in a parking garage would cause an argument. It felt like i was constantly walking on egg shells and it made me afraid to do anything that could involve alcohol together.

This last week was the most ive ever seen him drink. Every single night was met with so much alcohol and every morning feelings of regret because he obviously felt the hangover. I would voice my concerns and he would just say "yeah I need to slow down soon". Only he drank more the following night.

On sunday, our roommates invited us to play a party game together and while we were on drink 1, he was already a bottle of wine in. He kept messing up the game to say answers out loud while it wasnt his turn and I could feel everyone's annoyance.

After the game, we decided to watch a movie and while we were on drink 2/3, he was on drink 4 after the whole bottle of wine. I could tell he was smashed by the time we all said goodnight.

He made us food and went on his computer afterwards and I went to give him a kiss to say thank you for the food. He told me to sit on his lap and we started to be sweet and kiss. He picked me up and put me on the bed and I told him I dont want to do anything tonight, I just wanted to say thank you for the food. He said, sure no sex, but i just want to see your body. I told him I dont want that because I know it will lead to him wanting sex. That's when time stopped for me. He started to take off my clothes and I said no stop, over and over again. He kept saying he just wanted to look at me so I gave into that once he got my clothes off. Then he grabbed me and said "flip over", I said no I dont want to have sex. He said "i dont care, im in the mood to dom you" i said I really really don't want to do anything, please stop. He said "my needs arent getting met by you and im going to dom you". My fight or flight kicked in and in a moment where I would normally fawn, I fought. I pushed him off as hard as I could and I said no, you arent going to do get your way with me. We faught and I could see this look in his eyes where it just wasnt him, he was completely blacked out. I left the room and went into the bathroom to cry and cry. I had a panic attack for about an hour before I went into our room to grab a pillow to sleep downstairs.

I tried to sleep down stairs but our couch is so uncomfortable and I tossed and turned for hours before deciding to go back upstairs to try and get some sleep. I couldn't sleep. Every SA experience I had gone through just replayed in my head from childhood, college, to then. How the person I love most in this world could do this to me. How its always been someone I thought I could trust. How I would pick a bear over a man any day. I didnt think that before this, I always thought I had a good man to protect me and keep me safe. Now those walls enclosed on me.

The next morning he turned over to cuddle me and i said "dont fucking touch me" he got up and said "oh my god baby what happened?! What did i do!? Please tell me i didn't hurt you!?" I had sent him a message the night of so everything was written in text about exactly what happened as soon as it happened so no details would get lost on me. He read the message and broke down crying. He begged and begged for me to give him. He promised he would stop drinking entirely. He called himself a monster and it just went on and on like that. I couldnt look him in the eyes, I felt like a scared child frozen in time again. I called into work and spent the day crying and sleeping, just fully unable to take care of myself.

Its been 3 days now and I dont know what to do or where to go from here. I dont want to talk to anyone about this because they'll tell me the obvious thing, leave. Leaving sounds like pure torture and staying does too. Im embarassed for him and I know that any mutual connection of ours will look at him so differently and im protective of him, through it all im still so protective of him.

I dont know if I can recover from this.

I dont want to break up either.

Or maybe I do.

I dont know.

I think ill go back into therapy, I need someone to talk to that can help me process all of this.

I just feel my world caving in.

Dinner is noodle bowl.

Rewatching Italy season since it aired

Wow its so obvious that Snooki cheated on Jonni with Mike and shes feeling shame about it. The way they interact is so clear that they have feelings for eachother in the beginning of the season. I watched as a teenager when it aired and I thought Mike was such a trouble maker, but as an adult im like whoa, its so clear.

Dog walker that captured another walker beating a dog in their group

As the title suggests, im a dog walker in San Francisco and daly city and i captured another walker beating a dog in their group for no reason. 6/4/26 thorton Beach at around 4:30 pm. Walker seems to only walk Vizsals. I noticed they were screaming horribly at their pack in the parking lot while sitting awkwardly on this hill, a bunch of the dogs were off leash running through cars. This area is on leash only and parking lots are a hard no for off leash, any credible walker will agree. They were screaming and tugging on collars when I started to record and then it happened, a hard smack directly to a dogs face out of no where. Any competent trainer will tell you exactly why this is wrong, R+ is scientifically backed, but even if you want to be a pos and beat your dog, within 10 seconds of undesired behavior makes shitty sense and this was out of no where. This will only cause fear and confusion in a dog. It was fucked to see. If this is your dog walker/trainer then run. Youre wasting your money as this pathetic excuse for a dog care giver just sits on this hill and beats the dogs.

Anyone know what I should do? Im so lost and sad

Im a dog walker that captured another dog walker abusing a dog in their pack, what do I do?

As the title suggests, im a dog walker in San Francisco and daly city and I captured something horrible on video where a dog walker beats a dog in their group with a leash. I was at Thorton Beach, which I know is daly city but I asked some dog walkers if they recognize the walker I captured on video and many say they've seen them at fort funston, which is San Francisco. This walker only walks Vizsals and my god, what i saw was absolutely wrong. I dont know where to go from here. What can I do to do right by these poor dogs? Who do I report what I saw to? Im heart broken and I can't stop thinking about it

She has been identified as Judit Zsemberovsky. She's a Vizsal breeder and walker in San Francisco and Daly City.

To the creepy dudes at stacks Sunday night

During Nikita the Wicked at the stacks my group came across two people within the hour being so unhinged and creepy. The first was a shirtless guy in blue shorts with a big fan going around fanning people, fanning people in the crowd is awesome, many people appreciate it especially on a hot night. He was specifically going up to women, grabbing their shoulders and would begin fanning their face and while they looked visibly uncomfortable with the shoulder grab, they were being friendly and would do a half smile at the fanning. No one wants a vibe ruined so every single woman looked like they smiled out of politeness and in hope that was it. Nope. He would say "watch this" and would go down to the ground and grab the bottom of people's pants/dresses/skirts, open them up and try to fan upward. Every single person looked mortified and frozen. Some people would ask him to stop and he would say "no trust me, you need this". He initially did it to my friend who is not able to stand up for herself and then came to share with me after it happened to ask if I noticed that because she was uncomfortable. I paid attention after and yeah, every person around us was having that reaction of "what is happening right now and please let it be over soon". He was in that area going left and right to women only doing this. I tried to turn away because i wrongly convinced myself that while he was being horribly creepy, it wasnt violent. Then he walks toward me and starts with the shoulder grab and fanning my face, I said "no bro, you gotta stop" and he immediately drops toward my feet and grabs my pants and I said "i will kick you in the face if you touch me again" and my partner lost it. He grabs the guy from the ground and walks him over a few feet and I knew my partner had enough and was going to give him a warning before taking care of him himself. He told him to stop that shit because people dont want to be touched without being asked and that a polite office smile doesn't mean "do more". The guy had that soulless drugged out look and said "I disagree, im connecting with people, watch let me fan you". They talked for like 5 minutes about why this is wrong. After, he walked away for a total of 20 seconds before coming back and trying it again with me, not realizing we were the group that had just told him to stop and fuck off. My friend had enough at this point and she walked up to him and said "if you dont stop, im going to beat the shit out of you before giving you the chance to run away once we call security". He finally got it. He stood by one of the poles holding up the stage for a while with his head down before leaving. Just an absolute weirdo unable to understand that he is fucking things up for others even after multiple talks, "no thank yous" and finally threats. If that guy is in this sub, please do better. Enthusiastic consent is needed and if youre asked to stop, stop. What your actions told me is that youre willing to do worse when people say no.

The next guy had a pvc pole and was using it to stretch while dancing, again awesome for you. But he was also dancing so wildly with the pole that he would hit people, come up and say sorry and then try to dance with them. Everyone's body language would turn away and try to create distance but this man was teeth chattering, eyes rolling, and im sure he believed that everyone loves eachother and wants to crazy dance with him. I had to walk away after the first situation and get some space and air. My group moved too but stayed in that general area because we told our friends we would be there while they did a bathroom trip. I started to feel bloating during my fresh air trip and felt like I needed to just sit down. I came back after a little and decided to do a froggie squat to get some digestion moving next to my friends. The pole guy then comes up and when I noticed the pole on the ground next to me, I stood up and was ready to again, tell him to leave us alone. He tries to grab my hand and pulls me toward him and my partner screams "no, you arent touching women anymore" and whew, the look of rage on my partners face was next level done and ready to rock this dudes shit. The guy stops and puffs out his chest before realizing he isn't winning this one against my partner. He goes "fine bro, ill stop". And finally he left, they were both gone. It felt like the biggest relief.

Im so grateful we had a man in our group protecting us, that will do his best to reason first, that has the strength to act in case it escalates. Good men, we need you. We are often scared and our voices dont mean much to people willing to do this stuff. If you have a privilege and its needed, please use it. You make this place safer and I can't thank you enough.

If you're a creep in the crowd and your intentions with spaces like this are to see how much you can get away with, I hope you go to therapy to address why you feel you have dominion over others. You're an embarrassment and you make women feel unsafe. Hope you had lava shits all weekend.

To the Yheti complainers

Just go. Please. If you aren't feeling an artist, set, a genre then just go and make room for people that are excited to be there. The festival is so big and there's so many other things to do. Its the worst feeling to be surrounded by complainers when you have autonomy and can dip. I melted, I had the best time there and danced until I couldn't. Unless you had or witnessed an emergency, your experience is what you make it.

Need food inspiration

I'm vegan and planning to do a mix of cooking and buying food. I always over pack and pantry food gets sweaty in their package and spoils so im trying to avoid that! My plan was to get a sandwich for the day I come in, eat one half when I get it and the rest after set up. I've never gotten take out and brought it in but I'm thinking it might not to be a horrible idea to get some noodles and pizza and put it in my cooler with dry ice since I like cold noodles and pizza. I'm thinking maybe making a big container of pasta? I tend to not want to eat while at festivals because of hehe party favors, but I know I need to eat and fill up. I always have miso soup and pantry ramen noodles for night time because I need something in the belly before bed. But what are your favorite snacks, meals, vendors? I plan to bring a butt load of fruit too, stuff that won't spoil quickly!​

▲ 4 r/Raves

I have pretty much come to accept that I cannot wear shorts, skirts, dresses, rave bottoms. I've tried so many products, creams, sticks, powders, etc and nothing works and if it does I'm constantly reapplying. I'm so envious of people that can wear what they want without their thighs screaming. What is your tried and true anti chafe solution that isn't pants or tights?​

I'm not super familiar with the lineup this year, which I'm looking forward to because I will be able to move more freely without a fixed schedule. However, I don't want to miss anyone that I should see! Based on who I am familiar with on the lineup and my love for funky edm, bass, and folk music, who would you recommend?

Excited for

-Daily Bread

-Of the Trees

-Jigitz

-Ivy Lab

-Zeds Dead

-Chase and Status

Was excited for Inzo until I learned he was liking right wing propaganda online and playing a show for Elon Musk.
