“Gambling isn't nearly as ruinous as warfare, nor is it quite as tedious as pornography. It lacks the sheer immorality found in big business, and it certainly isn't as self-destructive as sitting around watching television. Besides, the odds are actually better than those found in religion.”

— Mario Puzo

We really ought to strive for some actual open dialogue here—finding common ground through a bit of courtesy and maintaining decent, pleasant relationships.😬

Rachel, you really ought to be sent to Vienna. 🙂 🥳
Maybe then you could teach them a thing or two about that classic old-school Viennese etiquette. 🥳 🙂

The first life hack following that classic gem, "just be yourself, man!"

OT: Yet another case where people might ask themselves, "Wait, who's actually being Microsoft here?"
Maria Cox64 said:I live for love, yet all I have to show for it are fallen empires and catastrophic choices. I just want to catch COVID and die. Nothing makes sense without him—without my sun. I want to get high, pass out on a park bench, get assaulted and killed.

A fascinating stream of consciousness, truly.
And this is why people claim the Blackpill is total nonsense.

The other night: imagine if someone actually rolled a stall filled with live cattle and chickens right into the middle of Times Square.

Last night: a group of people actually singing those lyrics from Simon & Garfunkel’s "Mrs. Robinson": ˝Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.˝

I couldn't care less, frankly.

Shortly after the initial wave of the pandemic hit last year, someone dropped a line in one of the off-topic threads—something to the effect of "Louise, stay at least two posts away from me"—which was enough to crack even my own stoic exterior.

I wake up, it's already noon
in my room, there's nothing here
I'd give anything just to understand
why the rain won't stop
why I can't stand smiles

American Women Are Garbage (Including Western And Eastern European Women)
Maria Cox64 said:The only thing is—he’s been alone for a long time now, and frankly, people like him are difficult; changing habits isn't exactly their strong suit. Besides, you lot are just married opportunists who will let him walk all over you—if he doesn't screw you over first. You'd probably be happy to play housewife for him, though I doubt Darla could manage it, considering she spends twenty-four hours a day dealing with the fallout from guys thirty years her senior... And then there's the claim that men are forcing women into having children—it's no wonder half those lovely Xenas at the local community college hated them.

Maria Cox64 said:Furthermore, Zawa actually possesses life experience; he knew how to be gentle and attentive with me, and he never explicitly stated he didn't love me. The issue is that, due to my own diagnosis, I made plenty of mistakes—and perhaps he will never grasp that when I am being difficult, it is actually my way of showing intense affection. You people would rather have a man take advantage of you than deal with the reality of his feelings. Zawa needs a real woman, not some superficial socialites who flaunt themselves just because they can perform tricks—those types are mentally unstable. Now he might live alone, but he still complains constantly about having no one to cook dinner for him.

Here, let me give you
something to brighten your mood. 🙂

I honestly don't know—it's been ages since I've felt the need to click on any links to see what other users look like.

Is their personal motto—or perhaps their collective philosophy—something along the lines of: "It’s every man for himself, all the time"?

Has anyone else ever dealt with this particular headache?

I’ve heard some women complaining that they aren't physically wide enough to accommodate a menstrual cup.

Here is yet another period anthem 🐔
This one is quite explicitly about PMS—both the track and the video 😍

Is there seriously nothing here?
At least grace us with some posts like these:

Entering perimenopause at 41 is a slow descent into chaos—I am absolutely dreading these changes. Mentally, it’s been brutal; the depression hits hard. As for physical symptoms, my cycle has been completely erratic over the last few months, and I get heart palpitations whenever I get worked up. I dealt with night sweats a few years back, which eventually passed—thankfully, no hot flashes yet—but now I'm dealing with tingling in my hands, which I assume is due to dropping estrogen levels.

I nearly threw a bag of pretzels at the cashier at Walmart today—honestly, if I were to write a novel about my sudden outbursts of aggression, it would be a bestseller. I loathe having these episodes in public, but man, was I pushed to the absolute edge. Everything just went dark for a second; I dropped the pretzels and stormed out, hearing someone shout "Ma'am!" behind me.🤣By the time I got home and stripped off my clothes, I realized what happened...🤦And there I was, wondering why I felt so ravenous and incredibly irritable.🤣
I’ve decided that for the seven days leading up to my period, I’m staying far away from crowds—especially places with long lines.
I also realized that if I cut out coffee, dairy, or sugar, I can barely even tell when the hormonal shift is happening.

Something strange happened to me—my breasts didn't swell, my skin stayed clear, and while I had a few pimples, zero cysts. However, I had significant abdominal pain and cramping about ten days before my period started. The mood swings are standard fare by now. I was fully convinced I was pregnant, but then my period arrived anyway. Is it possible this is just my body adjusting to being on vacation at the coast—maybe the climate or the change in environment?

Moderation drama: When the mods get called out in Feedback & Suggestions ·
So, you all think having higher-level management oversee more appeals is the solution?
That would just result in an endless cycle of handing out more warnings.
I actually had a moderator tell me something once—something most people here already know deep down: "Go ahead and complain about the local police, but we both know how things work there; you'll likely just end up with an extra citation from the NYPD after you file your complaint."🙂

I figured I’d pose this question to the women participating in this thread—do you ever look back and genuinely regret missing out?

Let’s give this thread some life! 👋
I honestly find a certain grim satisfaction in reading all your various complaints about dealing with PMS. 👋
