My handle is darkeagle5.

I was wondering if someone could help me tweak my username to Perla_, though honestly, I’d much prefer just "Perla" (with the period at the end).
Thanks in advance. 🙂

None of those options are actually possible—the system won't allow special characters like that. That previous name change that got approved was a total fluke; they made an exception because the period was part of the response formatting.

quietpilot87 said:Whatever, personally I think the punishment is way too harsh—like, seriously over the top.
I’m telling you, this isn't even about some problematic user on the Reddit!

She’s a perfectly decent member, and honestly, I just came over here to offer her some support.

quietpilot87 said:I’ve been wondering about this too.
Why even bring up a question like that regarding a new ban?
Look, I used to be a moderator, and honestly, personally, I probably would’ve just handed out a few warning points for something like this.

Am I going to get banned now because I said that? 😁

EDIT. Just saw the rules—500 points and a month-long ban???
Seriously people, what is wrong with you?

Locking the thread and giving out some warning points would have been plenty.

Smizla has been on this Reddit for years and has never been a problem.

I second everything quietpilot87 said; the punishment is just disproportionate. For God's sake, a whole month? For what? It wasn't even anything major.
Fix this.
She isn't a confrontational person—she was just trying to do something helpful by starting the topic.
The penalty is overkill, and frankly, I think you all know it.🙂

redmarlin3 said:Exactly. Other subforums—Fashion, Movies, Music, Weddings, Pregnancy, Parenting, Men's Corner, Cars... they’ve all been targeted in a negative light here—while the ladies over in the women's corner have been called ugly more times than I care to count. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. 😍

It is quite fascinating, really—how exclusively the crowd from Cosmetics felt personally attacked and rushed to this thread, effectively proving the original poster's point by reacting exactly that way.

For what it's worth, the controversial comment about the tennis ball was already handled by the admins, so I suspect this entire discussion has served its purpose for anyone looking for some semblance of justice.
As for unknown's moderation—both here and across the board—I have absolutely nothing against it. 🙂

Well put..
Cheers..

This site is meant to be a laid-back corner of the internet for messing around and occasionally cleaning up the chat..
Tilla is an excellent moderator, and alongside unknown, she isn't biased..

I have to wonder if you ladies actually know the difference between harmless banter and straight-up insults using slurs..

Take, for instance, the girls who mentioned they post in Cosmetics or Fashion; looking back, there wasn't a single insult directed at them—aside from that bit about tennis balls—certainly nothing abusive coming from the regular users here:

Innocent is firing on all cylinders

Innocent is firing on all cylinders, round two

Look at the irony—being called "crazy old women" and yet nobody bothered to fire back with an insult. Bravo, everyone.👍

The mermaid is calling us names now

And then you have people who didn't get insulted themselves, so they go and open a whole new thread to play the victim..
Good grief..🙄🙄🙄

Gerald Hernandez20 said:The only reason I was complaining at first was because I spent an hour and a half stuck in some "bottleneck"—every ten seconds I had to dodge some random girl or one of those burly fifty-year-olds wandering around shirtless, trying to push their way through the crowd.🙂

I actually lucked out and had VIP access...😍 👋

Gerald Hernandez20 said:Once he finally started playing, it was absolutely incredible—not a single regret.😁

By the way, that drummer was practically stealing the show; he was getting almost more applause than Lenny himself by the end of the night.🙏

It’s true, though. A truly fantastic concert—one for the books.

goldenangler4 said:John Doe units just sit by the side of the road and record everything... there isn't any pulling you over like with old-school radar where a cop points the gun and flags you down if you're flying....
As for how to fight it or get out of it, just hang tight until someone who actually knows the law weighs in. 🙂

To be honest, I'm not even that worried about dodging the fine itself,
it’s more the sheer absurdity of the law that gets to me...😕
It makes zero sense, really...
And frankly—I’m not even entirely convinced I was actually breaking the limit in the first place..🤷

I’m hoping someone here can shed some light on this...🙂

So, I just received a notice for a traffic violation—apparently something I supposedly did back six months ago,
speeding...😕
The fine comes out to $167, and according to the notice, I was caught by a Microsoft/John Doe device...🤷..

Now, even if I actually did go over the limit, I don't recall being pulled over at all...😕..
How is it even legal for them to just mail out a ticket without stopping me first?
Where is the actual evidence?

It feels like some officer could just wander from driveway to driveway, jotting down license plates, and then just send notices straight to my house later on...🤷..

Sandra Carter77 said:Of course wearybison8 already thought of that—I did too, actually. But since nothing worked, I figured I had to start a thread here, and I apologized in case someone had already covered this somewhere else. It’s probably buried too deep for me to find, and honestly, walking into a gynecologist's office for this feels incredibly awkward... but, well... what can you do?

Look, those doctors have seen absolutely everything under the sun,
so there really is no reason to feel embarrassed...
It isn't some grand scandal, or even a shame, really...
Just tell them straight up that you fell asleep with a tampon in and now you're feeling uncertain about things...
Truthfully, they'll probably just see you as a responsible person who made a mistake...
Well, yeah...
Good luck...

Honestly, I feel for women sometimes—there’s always this endless cycle of drama and unnecessary anxiety,
even when we actually have all the facts right in front of us..🙄 😛
It definitely slipped out..🙂

Melissa Torres4 said:And no, it didn't travel from your uterus straight into your stomach (?) or start hitching a ride through your bloodstream like some tiny nuclear warhead—if that's what you were worried about.

🤣🤣🤣 My bad, but let's be real for a second... lol

Hey there, Zadranko...😁 👍

Honestly, you should just head over to your primary care physician and lay everything out—exactly what you’ve shared here...
Even if they end up referring you to an OB-GYN, well, that’s just how life works sometimes. It's part of the process.

You mentioned earlier that you aren't sexually active,
but if that means you're a virgin, don't worry—they won't perform the standard pelvic exam.

Well, here I am again 😬 , eager to prove that I actually listen sometimes—and, of course, to offer a long-overdue thank you to Smokey, since I completely blanked on that last time..😳

San Diego

Thanks...😍 gotcha, and of course, shout out to the guy from San Diego..😘

🤔

Beautiful, yet entirely hollow

so here I am

I’m fully aware that I’m making a fool of myself here...😳

But honestly, what you pulled off—I just can't wrap my head around it... really...😬

Is there any way I can swap this out for the title "Beautiful Without a Soul"...?

🙂

Well, thanks a million...😍 that was certainly a lightning-fast response...🙂

So, I have a bit of a question for the group... I toggled my status to invisible mode, but instead of seeing that usual gray dot under my avatar, it’s showing up as red. I haven't seen anyone else deal with this before—it seems a little off, doesn't it? Could someone shed some light on what might be going on here...👋

outoftheblue said:A friend of mine dropped by the other day—really wonderful person, easy to talk to, one of those people you just click with—and she tells me out of nowhere that she's getting a divorce. I mean, everything seemed perfectly fine from my perspective...😉

I didn't mean to sound quite so blunt...😢

briskgull27 said:Look, I am honestly just completely wiped out right now.🙏 🤣

Well, you say it that way—and you write with such a rational tone, too—but I really meant that you *speak* that way.😬 😬 People here tend to tell me that constantly... which, of course, is easy for them to say when things are going relatively well for you. Take that professor I mentioned earlier—the one who’s been unwell. Honestly, I wouldn't have even known she was sick if I hadn't seen her stumbling down the street the other day, screaming that snakes were attacking her. She's actually a wonderful person and quite lovely to talk to, usually—under better circumstances, at least.😉

Well, I’ve just been catching up on a few posts here—and it seems like nobody actually knows a single person living with schizophrenia.😕 In my own neighborhood, I know two women and one man who fit the description. This man... his wife left him, but he still sees his kid, though you can sometimes see this sense of being completely lost in him—it’s heartbreaking, really. Then there’s one woman, a high-ranking dean at a local university married to a prominent attorney; she didn't even disclose her diagnosis until after they were wed, and now they have three children. And the third, she was dumped by her boyfriend right before their wedding, but she moved on, married someone else, and had a child with him. Life goes on, I suppose, even when things feel fractured.

briskgull27 said:Terry Thompson7, come on... you know damn well things aren't just getting better.
But what can I do?
As long as my brain is still functioning enough to process this, I’m going to do whatever I can.
I’m basically living proof that schizophrenia is a real thing—on paper, everything looks perfect, yet I feel like hell.heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Just think about who I was at seventeen or eighteen versus who I am now.
Even one of my closest friends doesn't believe how messed up I actually am,
so imagine what the rest of the world thinks.
You get it, right? There isn't some external crisis—the issue is tucked away in that godforsaken brain chemistry. If it weren't, I wouldn't feel a shred of relief after taking my meds.

Is this paranoia?☕ 🙂 😢 ☕

NOPE—you're writing perfectly lucid and interesting stuff here.😉
