2024.05.15 23:48 lightscamerasnaction Delta in-flight movies list

I tried to write down every single movie available on my Delta flights in March 2024. I handwrote some of my notes to pass the 13 hours which is why there are ??? when I couldn't read my own writing/abbreviations. Note that not all titles were available on all flights, and my list is missing a chunk of them (especially titles beginning with "S" for some reason). Hope someone finds it useful! Maybe someone will get to creating a Letterboxd list of them all before me!

2024.05.15 23:47 Objective_Coconut822 Can not lose my wife. Please help me believe in reconciliation

Okay... this is a difficult post to make as the WS, because I have debilitating shame and remorse and fear., so putting it all out there is scary... But here goes...it's a long one....
I am 41F, married to my wonderful wife, 33F, for almost 4 years, together for 8. She is gay, the first woman I have ever been with and I identify as bisexual. My 15 year old son from my previous marriage lives with us and my wife has taken the role of stepmother beautifully.
Some background....She cheated on me, physically with one woman (a drunken one night stand) and an emotional affair with another woman (a "friend" I always had bad feelings about - texting inappropriate pics, sharing loving feelings with each other and talking badly about me). This was only a few months into us dating, but I didnt find out until 2 and a half years and moving in together. She was extremely remorseful, claimed she was planning on telling me, and ultimately did everything right as far as helping me heal and reconcile. I felt like it took about 2-3 months for me to decide I was ready to forgive and move on. But I did. I mean, I never really forgot it, and still would look at the both of the other women's social media accts and would compare myself to them constantly. But overall, I felt like we were in a good place after a few months and really did come out stronger. My trust in her was restored and we were good. We got engaged, got married, bought a new house. We were truly happy.
Okay. Now... deep breath.... About 2 and a half months ago I had an emotional affair, texting and talking on the phone, with an old friend who lives in another state, that lasted a little under two weeks. This friend and I did share a history of hooking up, but this was years ago when we were teens/early 20's. He had reached out kind of out of nowhere, to tell me his marriage was on the rocks. I expressed sympathy and offered support. Then he went on to tell me he has always been in love with me, for 22 years. I was taken aback. In hindsight, I wish so badly I had just shown my wife this text right away. But I stupidly thought I could just handle it on my own and avoid making her uncomfortable (again...huge regret). Anyway, I told him that I cared deeply for him, but that I was happily married and boundaries needed to be respected. He agreed. We continued to text, at first just innocent things about what we had been up to over the past few years since we last saw each other. Then he told me he had made a suicice attempt recently. This scared and upset me, so I went on to tell him how much I loved him. He then told me I "saved his life" by telling him this, because he had been in such a bad place. The texts just got out of control after that. I am not saying that to act like I had no control. I know I did. But I started to feel feelings for him (or I thought I did) and honestly, was eating up the ego boost he was giving me. Messed up, I know. I have serious insecurities and vulnerability when it comes to men from my past. Again, no excuse. Anyway, eventually it lead to us being really inappropriate, talking about our past sexual moments with each other, how much we wanted to see eachother, how great it would be, etc. I sent him a picture of me, no nudity, but definitely suggestive.
Shortly after that, the guilt consumed me, I blocked his number, and I confessed to my wife. I admittedly trickle truthed at first, saying it was all him, but as the conversation went on, I admitted I also reciprocated, told him I loved him, talked about sex, and sent him a photo of me. Wife was of course pissed and devastated.
The NEXT day, this man's wife texted me. She said she knew all along. He had been deleting our texts, but she was seeing everything on their phone records. Shockingly, she wasnt flipping out on me. She actually said that their marriage was terrible for years, that this was mild compared to other things he had done, and this was finally her out. She actually even thanked me. But of course, also said this was real disgusting of both of us. She said she could have reached out to my wife several times but didn't. She said she had possession of her husband's phone (including the picture, and that he would never see it again), and that everything she had would be destroyed after their divorce was final. She also told me that he manipulated me (that he uses threats of suicide with her all the time), and that even though I was wrong too, it was him "who sunk his claws into me". She told me to show my wife what she was saying so that maybe it would help. I did, and it did help a little bit. She also said she believes I am a good person. All of this was a relief to hear, even though I didnt feel deserving of such grace. She said that I could give my wife her number if she ever needed to vent, but that she wouldnt pull up the facts she had because that is not helpful or healthy. My wife didnt want to do that. All of my texts with him had already been deleted on my phone, which I had done in state of panic before confessing. So my wife hasnt actually seen anything that was said and has only my words to go off of.
After about three days of talking and crying, and me telling her how remorseful I was and that I would do anything to save us, my wife said she wanted to work through this and stay with me. I was relieved of course, but still felt so awful, and honestly, still scared that she will leave. At one point, she even said she felt like she deserved this because of her cheating. And that what she did was worse because she actually physically slept with someone else. I told her that I didnt feel that way.
Flash forward, Dday was about two and a half months ago. I am still a wreck. Wife says she has already forgiven me (she is still "mad" but she is ready to move on). She believes me when I tell her I would never do this again. I know for a fact I would never.
I cant keep my intrusive thoughts of losing her from making me spiral. I feel so ashamed. I cant eat or sleep. I have constant anxiety attacks. I am trying SO hard not to put this burden on her, because it was ME who did the terrible thing. But i am just crying constantly and not myself. She even told me "the only thing keeping us from moving forward is you. We cant move forward as long as you are stuck."
We are in MC and our own IC. Wife is giving me so much reassurance, so why cant I hear it? And I dont want to keep putting my feelings on her. I know it is just overwhelming her which she doesnt deserve, and I know if I dont pull it together, it will drive her away. She said she misses me. She wants us to be ourselves again. She is still mad that I did this, but says she trusts me overall. Why cant I get out of this terrible depression? I think a part of me worries that if she actually SAW our texts, it would be too much. I dont know. I told her that it was way too emotional, but didnt really give specifics.
I am not totally sure what I am looking for here.... advice? positivity? Anything from anyone who has been there and successfully reconciled and give me hope? Advise on what I can do to snap out of this and move forward. And that reconciliation truly is possible. That what my wife is telling me is true and that alone should help me. She is the love of my life and the idea of losing her because of my disgusting actions is an actual nightmare. I feel terrible for the reprucussions this could have on my son if she left. He loves her so much. Our life was truly amazing, so why did i do this? I hate myself so much. How can i forgive myself??

2024.05.15 23:47 theLexiconoclast Rap Beef Best Moments

Rap Beef Best Moments
The KDot v Drake beef has done a lot for hip-hop this year and we're not even halfway through. Just wanted to hear some of y'all's favorite moments directly related to it.
A few of mine:
I was in a Taco Bell drive-thru and accidentally hit the play button on my car system, blasting Not Like Us. The asian guy at the window was like "You're good. That song slaps."
Me and my son randomly texting: "A minor." "He a 69 god." "Say ovho."
But my favorite moment was talking with a guy while having my blood drawn. Told him I'd been listening to MMATBS as I never made it through the full album and how much I loved Father Time. He told me three of his friends were moved so much by the album they all started going to therapy. Me and the guy are both black, and I'll never forget him telling me how great that was and that: "We as black men in America ESPECIALLY need it."
I wholeheartedly agree.

2024.05.15 23:47 OrganizationOnly6386 How come when I was going on public dates with a visibly mentally handicapped man, other men would stare at me?

Maybe it was in my head but I remember one guy who was at the same restaurant and he was sitting at another table… he kept staring at me wide eyed. I think I’m undiagnosed autistic but I probably don’t look that obviously so unless you are closer like you’re a coworker or something. So I’m assuming the men thought I was a normal girl dating a mental handicapped man.
Do you think it had to do with who I was with? I felt like I was being WATCHED.

2024.05.15 23:47 UncleRaj0 Trust issues, Me (18M) Her (19F)

Before we start this is my first relationship and this isn't hers and her ex isn't long distance but I am Im starting to develop anxiety and trust issues over this relationship and I don't know what to do these issues began when one day my girlfriend told me that her mother was calling her and so she hung up the phone when we were on call and picked up the other call after around 2 hours I was worried that something might have happened and just checked up on her and so she called me crying saying that she was sorry and I was confused because why would she be apologising and so I said whets wrong talk to me and she said ill tell you all about it later just give me a second and so again she hangs up and calls me back after an hour or so and so she's crying and she keeps apologising over and over again and I said what's wrong tell me and she said im sorry that I lied about talking to my mum it was actually my ex boyfriend who called me.
After this point I'm also starting to somewhat tear up because I don't know what to say or do and so I ask why he called and what did you guys talk about she says that he keeps telling her that he's changed and that he wants her back and that he's coming back to her town and wants to see her again and show her how much he's changed and so I asked for her response and she said that she told him that she didn't want him anymore and that she cheated on him and everything but she said he still insists on meeting her and getting back together and I just told her why don't you block him and she said she's scared that she's gonna hurt him and she doesn't know what to feel and she said she still has tiny feeling left for him but she also said that im the only person she needs and wants and she doesn't know what to feel and so I told her she's going to have to either hurt him or hurt me and that she's going to have to choose.
she was also worried that I didn't trust her after that which I was never worried about until after that happened because she immediately told me everything and so she told me to ask her anything about her life and so I did and I don't want to get too much into detail about her past due to privacy reasons but lets just say she's been with multiple men and had done the deed with multiple men and has cheated before I don't know how many times I just know she has and it was with this ex and so I told her to tell me any updates about her ex immediately and she said okay she also said that the problem would be solved after 2 days and so I waited and gave her time
we were normal for the first couple days after we were having fun and then I noticed things started to tilt after a week or so she stopped calling me baby as much calling me by my first name a lot more but still calls me baby she replies instantly compared to me whenever she sends a message ill reply within a minute or instantly but whenever she sends a message even if I reply instantly sometimes she wouldn't respond for a couple minutes after, she doesn't spend as much time with me as she used to, im not getting as much attention and love from her as much as I give her and its draining at times because whenever im not with her im just struck with anxiety and I don't know if she's really doing what she says she's doing or not and if she's just texting her ex and talking to him for example today I only got to spend time with her in the morning and once at night for a small amount of time around an hour the nighttime was mostly me carrying the conversation as she said she was tired.
I know she has her own struggles she has to bare and there's things going on in her life but I don't know if its the struggles that's making her unresponsive or something else and that's what's killing me but the time I spend with her is like no other I truly have the best time whenever im with her and it always makes me feel top notch and I don't know when I should confront her because I don't wanna make things worse for her since as I said she's also going through moments with university and family is there anything to do in this situation and is this normal?
TL;DR I suspect my girlfriend went back to her ex but I really don't know and now im anxious and starting to doubt things but love her too much

2024.05.15 23:46 Trevopswi Men’s Pants Are Too Revealing

Just got my first order from Fabletics. I got a pair of The One joggers, pants, and shorts. I like the material and they are very comfortable, but there’s one glaring issue. When I tried them on, you could see EVERYTHING. It’s like they make these for Ken dolls.
I really like how they feel on me but I’m not interested in advertising my whole package to the world. Would sizing up help? Is it an issue with my boxer briefs? Or should I just give up on the brand altogether?
Wondering what other people have experienced with Fabletics men’s pants in the crotch.

2024.05.15 23:46 Thtguy1289_NY How long could the Germans have realistically forestalled the invasion of Poland before their economy imploded?

So it is rather widely understood that the German economy in the 1930s was completely untenable, and needed to basically loot its neighbors to survive.
That said, in 1938 Germany annexed both Austria and Czechoslovakia - the latter of which had a powerful, developed economy that was immediately latched onto by the Germans.
When 1939 rolls around irl, there were many German officers who seemed to believe that the army was not in the state that it should be, and that more time was needed to prepare for how. If Hitler, hypothetically, listened to these men and delayed his demand for Danzig, how long could he have gone before economic conditions deteriorated to the point were he absolutely had to wage war, given the boost they received from their '38 takeovers?

2024.05.15 23:42 cybishop3 X-Men 97 for someone who didn't watch the original show

In most respects I'm the target audience for X-Men '97, except for one thing: I didn't watch the cartoon it's a sequel to. (Grew up in the country, only had three channels, and Fox wasn't one of them.) I saw the first two episodes on VHS from the local rental place, and got a few other details here and there, but that's it. I've started watching the series (just finished episode 5, Remember It, no spoilers after that please) and I'm enjoying it but keep on wondering about whether certain details were in the 90s cartoon or not. My questions:
  1. Was Rogue's backstory in the cartoon?
  2. Did Iceman or Angel appear in the cartoon? I know they weren't on the team in the first episodes, where Jubilee was saved by the team in a mall, but I have no idea whether they starred in later episodes or they just popped up in that picture of the original 5 and Xavier on the mantelpiece in the new series.
  3. Same question for Nightcrawler, the Hellfire Club, Moira MacTaggert, Mojo, the Morlocks...

2024.05.15 23:42 Dr_Click_Click_Boom Question for Average and Below Average Women: Do any of you actually have athletes, entertainers and other celebrities dicking you down on a regular basis?

Many men of TRP have long spread the rumor that average and even below average women have virtually unlimited sexual options with top tier men. Don't deny it fellas. You know you've repeated this bullshit.
So in the interest of journalism and science I'd like to pose a question to the average and below average women of PPD. Drop dead gorgeous women, please only reply under automod. So here goes.
Have any of you ever had an athlete, entertainer or celebrity send you a private message on social media? Have any of you matched with an athlete, entertainer or celebrity on an online dating app? Have any of you been flown around the world on exotic vacations by rich and powerful men? Because according to some of the men on PPD that's just another weekend in May for even the plainest of Janes. I want to get to the bottom of this by going straight to the source.

2024.05.15 23:41 R0b0_L0b0 Increasing “Boys Are Super Gross” Feelings as I Transition

Anyone else have experiences where as you move along in your transition that you have a series of increasingly deep realizations about how grossed out you are at male norms and behaviors?
I’m increasingly confronted by that I’ve always been really grossed out by most men in my life, and while I used to think I was pansexual, I think my starting HRT and presenting more femininely basically shut the door on my interest in men or male spaces of any kind. Not sure if it’s common or even heard of among transfeminine people that taking clear steps away from presenting male suddenly shines a truly disgusting light on past male-centric experiences and also memories of being celebrated for male traits.

2024.05.15 23:41 throwaway70880 Last name dilemma

Hello Marriage,
I (27F) recently got married to my husband (29M) who I love very much. We're pretty much on the same page as a couple, however I'm having a dilemma about our last name since the wedding.
I always knew that I would never want to drop my last name after getting married as I have my college degrees and other career work in my maiden name. We talked about it a few months prior to the wedding and my husband agreed and understood this; why would I want to sabotage my progress by abandoning my birth name? I was however, willing to hyphenate my name with his. My husband was happy with this compromise and he even went a step further and offered to hyphenate his name with mine as well so we'd end up with the same last name. Even though I thought this was a bit weird (because in my culture men don't change their name when getting married), I was okay with it as long as he was happy with it.
Fast forward a few weeks before the wedding and I discover the amount of admin and paperwork it would take to change my name. Suddenly, I didn't feel like changing my name at all. I told this to my husband and he became visibly upset. I asked him why and his response was "Because I wanted us to share a family name and was willing to share the burden of changing name to do so". While this did make me feel bad, I still wanted to stand by my decision. He said he would still go ahead with hyphenating his even if I don't. I told him I would feel bad if he went ahead with that, but he insisted he wanted a shared name even if it was partial and on hm. We didn't bring up the topic again.
Now fast forward again after the marriage and he stayed true to his word and has changed his name. I'm now in a real dilemma; I feel bad that he went ahead with something I decided not to do which makes the situation feel incredibly one-sided and I feel that out of guilt I should reciprogate. On the other hand, did he maybe do this knowing I would feel guilty and make me change my mind? I just don't get why something like this should matter so much. I never had anything against hyphenating my name, but I just can't be bothered to deal with the admin.
Am I being unreasonable or are my feelings justified?

2024.05.15 23:40 DemonGoddes I am entitled to a partner because there are men worse than me who are married with children

It is shocking how low the bar men (obligatory not all men disclaimer) I have interacted on other reddit forums have held themselves to. I literally had around five men in different subreddit in a few months all complaining they were not able to get the attention or affections of the opposite sex argue that they are entitled to a women's time and attention because there are "worse men who are married and have children". One of them literally brought up their highschool super attractive blonde cheerleader crush and how she "chose" to marry her abusive Chad bf and how he physically and verbally abuses her and how she should have picked him instead because he would never physically lay a hand on her. The ones I have run across seems to think the bar is if they don't physically hurt women they are entitled to women because some women stay with men who hurt them. This logic has me appalled and flabbergasted, because that is NOT the bar 🤦‍♀️. Does any other women have experience with this or am I just unfortunate?

2024.05.15 23:38 DracTheBat178 [hr] The man on the mountain (concept)

A reporter drives along a dark twisting road, to a secluded town called Halls Landing tucked away in the Appalachian mountains. He had heard rumors of a local legend about a man who lived in a cabin tucked away deep in the woods. Supposedly, those who visit the cabin come back "twisted", "broken", or "changed" a different word is used for every retelling. Sometimes those who visit are said to never come back at all.
The reporters first stop would be the Due Drop Diner for a quick breakfast. He takes his seat and quickly decides on a cup of black coffee and the classic bacon and eggs. The waitress brings his meal to him. "We don't get many visitors here, what brings you to our neck of the woods?" The waitress, who's name tag read Stacy, asks in a very prominent Appalachian accent. "Well, I'm a reporter." The man answers. "I'm actually here to report on a local legend if you're not to busy." Stacy's face and demineaner suddenly shift. She goes pale and her warm smile and cheary personality fade for a moment to a look of anxiety, before quickly switching back. "I'm sorry but I can't talk right now, I have other tables to get to." She hurries off to one of the two other patrons in the Diner, who were here before he had arrived.
Dispite his strange encounter with the waitress he was determined to find out more about the local legend who driven so far to learn about. Yet, everyone in town seemed to react the same way, either dismissing the topic, changing the subject, or finding some reason to leave. It's as if no one wants talk about it, as if it's a secret.
After deciding that it might be a waste of time, he stops into an old country store, run by an older man he hadn't seen around town much, if at all. After purchasing a few items and turning to leave, the man speaks up. "You're that reporter right? The one the folks are so antsy about?" He turns back to old man, he has long grey hair and a thick beard to match. A pot belly coverd by a white tank top and overalls, and a voice that sounded like he smoked a pack a day sense the age of 6. The reporter replied "Yeah, I just wanted to know about the man who lived in the cabin, tucked back in the woods somewhere. Everyone always acts so dismissive and dodgy." Almost on instinct, the only man replies. "There's an old sawmill at the edge of town, behind it you'll find a walking trail. Head up that trail for about two hours. At the end you'll come to clearing, with what your looking for right there." The reporter, had been writing down what he could and hoped he could remember the rest. "Man, your a life saver thank you so much, you probably just saved my entire trip!" The reporter turns back to leave excitedly, before he can make it to the door, the old man says one more thing. "Just remember son, legends exist for a reason. " The reporter hastely made his way to his car, quickly turning the key and heading to the saw mill.
Something strange he noticed, however, was that everyone he could see, was watching him drive. Stopping any and all activity, just to stare him down as he made his way up the winding road. Men, women, even children. As if trying to force the car off the road.
He parked his car and made his way around the abandoned saw mill, until he found a break in the fence, with a trail leading up the mountain. After a grueling two hour walk up the trail in silence, he found it. A small clearing with an old cabin. The cabin was dark and decrepit compared to surrounding greenery. It looked as if it had been their first centuries, almost completely untouched. Feeling as if his hopes might've been dashed, he slowly makes his way to the front door, still panting from his hike up the mountain. He Knocks on the door, and to his surprise, after a few minutes, the door opens. Standing in the door way looks to be a man in his early 20s. Short, Dark brown hair, blue eyes, wearing a blue flannel, a pair of jeans, and heavy black boots. All of which look relatively new. The reporter, camcorder in hand, was expecting someone much older than the man that stood before him, and before he could get a word in edgewise. The man flashes a smug grin and speaks. "Let me guess, you want to hear about the man on the mountain." The reporter, having his plans laid bare before him, answers still tired from his hike. "uh yes, I had heard of the legends and thought I'd come see for myself. The towns folk seem pretty reluctant about giving me directions though." The man leans on the doorway, crossing his arms. "Yeah well, you know how it is. Superstition can cause people to act strange and weary, especially around new faces." His grin turned into a more friendly smile. "But where are my manners. The names Dean, and this old cabin was built by my great great great grandfather. He was the man on the mountain you've heard about."
The reporter, as excited as a city boy can be after hiking up hill for two hours straight. Smiles back at the man, excited to learn what this man might know. "Well, what happened? Why are the towns folk so weary of this place?" The reporter asks eagerly, his legs shaking from exhaustion. "The man on the mountain was cruel to say the least. He'd lore people up here, he'd carve weird symbols into their skin, mutilate them, dismember them. Some say he could even twist up someone's soul, change them in ways no one, not even god can fix." There was a moment of silence between them, before the man speaks up again. "Well, you're probably tired from your hike all the way up here. Come inside I'll get you a drink and we can talk more about it." The man steps aside to let the reporter in. The doorway was dark, as if swallowed by some impenetrable void. Regardless, the reporter enters the cabin, the door closes behind them. The lock clicks. The reporter never comes back.

2024.05.15 23:38 UncleRaj0 Anxiety and Trust issues What do I do? 18M her 19F

Before we start this is my first relationship and this isn't hers and her ex isn't long distance but I am Im starting to develop anxiety and trust issues over this relationship and I don't know what to do these issues began when one day my girlfriend told me that her mother was calling her and so she hung up the phone when we were on call and picked up the other call after around 2 hours I was worried that something might have happened and just checked up on her and so she called me crying saying that she was sorry and I was confused because why would she be apologising and so I said whets wrong talk to me and she said ill tell you all about it later just give me a second and so again she hangs up and calls me back after an hour or so and so she's crying and she keeps apologising over and over again and I said what's wrong tell me and she said im sorry that I lied about talking to my mum it was actually my ex boyfriend who called me. After this point I'm also starting to somewhat tear up because I don't know what to say or do and so I ask why he called and what did you guys talk about she says that he keeps telling her that he's changed and that he wants her back and that he's coming back to her town and wants to see her again and show her how much he's changed and so I asked for her response and she said that she told him that she didn't want him anymore and that she cheated on him and everything but she said he still insists on meeting her and getting back together and I just told her why don't you block him and she said she's scared that she's gonna hurt him and she doesn't know what to feel and she said she still has tiny feeling left for him but she also said that im the only person she needs and wants and she doesn't know what to feel and so I told her she's going to have to either hurt him or hurt me and that she's going to have to choose. she was also worried that I didn't trust her after that which I was never worried about until after that happened because she immediately told me everything and so she told me to ask her anything about her life and so I did and I don't want to get too much into detail about her past due to privacy reasons but lets just say she's been with multiple men and had done the deed with multiple men and has cheated before I don't know how many times I just know she has and it was with this ex and so I told her to tell me any updates about her ex immediately and she said okay she also said that the problem would be solved after 2 days and so I waited and gave her time we were normal for the first couple days after we were having fun and then I noticed things started to tilt after a week or so she stopped calling me baby as much calling me by my first name a lot more but still calls me baby she replies instantly compared to me whenever she sends a message ill reply within a minute or instantly but whenever she sends a message even if I reply instantly sometimes she wouldn't respond for a couple minutes after, she doesn't spend as much time with me as she used to, im not getting as much attention and love from her as much as I give her and its draining at times because whenever im not with her im just struck with anxiety and I don't know if she's really doing what she says she's doing or not and if she's just texting her ex and talking to him for example today I only got to spend time with her in the morning and once at night for a small amount of time around an hour the nighttime was mostly me carrying the conversation as she said she was tired. I know she has her own struggles she has to bare and there's things going on in her life but I don't know if its the struggles that's making her unresponsive or something else and that's what's killing me but the time I spend with her is like no other I truly have the best time whenever im with her and it always makes me feel top notch and I don't know when I should confront her because I don't wanna make things worse for her since as I said she's also going through moments with university and family is there anything to do in this situation and is this normal?

2024.05.15 23:37 pirro29 I read an article that said this is the best way to approach Akira Kurosawa. Do you agree?

The article was aimed at those who have never seen Akira Kurosawa's films and recommended the best way to start seeing his films; he/she even recommended a specific order:
1- Rashomon / 2- Seven Samurai / 3- Kagemusha / 4- Stray Dog / 5- High and Low / 6- The Hidden Fortress /
7- The Men Who Tread on the Tiger’s Tail / 8- Throne of Blood / 9- Ran / 10- Bad Sleep Well / 11- Yojimbo /
12- Sanjuro / 13- Ikiru / 14- The Lower Depths / 15- Red Beard
Remember that this is not a list of the best films, but of the best way to start seeing Kurosawa's films. Do you agree? The only thing I'm not sure about since I haven't seen any film is "Seven Samurai" mostly because I don't know if seeing as second a film lasting more than 3 hours is the best thing, but I don't know because I haven't seen them , it was just a thought.

2024.05.15 23:36 kawapawa [RF] Caitlyn (1.1k words)

I wrote this for a writing prompt in writingprompts, but not many people will see it because the prompt is a little old. I just wanted to share. Wrote during breaks at work so forgive me if it’s a little rough around the edges.
The prompt was, “Watching the man or woman of your dreams fall in love with someone else.”
feedback appreciated
::Caitlyn::
I watched her through her kitchen window.
She stood by the sink—wine glass in her hand, gently swirling it as she looked at her phone. God, was she pretty tonight. The yellow kitchen light cast a glow upon her skin, and I swear she was the brightest thing in the room—more so even than the bulb itself. Fishnet lace snaked up her legs, red as summer wine, and her bathrobe parted just enough at the top to tease—just enough to draw your attention to it so that she could playfully scold you for looking.
It’s what she did. I knew what she was waiting for, though. This was the first night he hadn’t shown up in over a week.
I didn’t get it. This guy—the guy who tracks muddy boots through the house, the guy that smokes cigarettes in the laundry room even when she specifically tells him not to, the guy who hasn’t touched a single dirty dish in as long as he’d been there—a dirty anything for that matter, and he’s the one she swoons for? Fucking bastard. That’s all he was. A dirty fucking bastard that didn’t deserve a woman even half as lovely as my Caitlyn.
She doesn’t get it—really, she doesn’t and it makes me feel kind of sorry for her. God, I mean if she only knew the things I’d do for her—the things that we have in common. We would be so happy together. I like to read just like she does, the same genres and everything. I even picked up the book she started last week, and it’s already one of my favorites. She likes to jog; I like to jog; she likes binging shows; I like binging shows. Both of us have a horrible sweet tooth as well. I can never help but smile at the thought of that.
Now, it’s three hours past eight, the time that he was supposed to arrive. She’d moved to the couch and was now lying on her back, letting one leg dangle to the floor. Blue light from the TV illuminated her features in the dark of the room, and it was not difficult to tell that she was upset. God, I hate to see her cry.
Occasionally, she would glance over. She would peer out the window with that solemn face and look in my direction. At first, I thought she was trying to see over me, to look over the hedge and into the trees behind her drive. After a few of her glances, I wasn’t convinced she wasn’t looking directly at me. Maybe she needed me. Perhaps this is her way of saying, “Come get me, Richard.” And what if it is? What if this was my chance, and I missed it because I thought about it too hard? Maybe she knew I’d been out here, watching all along, for all this time. If that was the case, then she surely knew that I wouldn’t be able to resist those watery eyes. It was time—time to be the man she needed—to finally confess my love for her, then hold her tight as she did the same.
I straightened myself—no more hiding. No more lurking in the shadows while she filled the void in her heart with all of these other worthless men. It was time she had a real man, a man who cared.
I walked to the door. For a second, I wondered if she’d left it unlocked for me. She’d done that before and pretended she was asleep whenever I made my way inside. She always did like to tease like that. I almost just opened it and walked straight in, but on second thought, I figured it might’ve been a little jarring. I decided to knock instead. To knock in the same sort of way that my heart was currently knocking against my eardrums. Why was I so nervous? She loved me; I knew she did, but still, I was nervous. Sweat beaded down the side of my face like condensation. I wiped it away with my sleeve and took a deep breath. This was it. In a few moments, I’d finally have my Caitlyn. I’d finally hold her in my arms like I’d always dreamed.
I brought my fist to the door, and my stomach tightened into a knot.
Just as I was about to do it, I heard gravel crunch in the distance.
Quickly, I darted back into the safety of the shadows, and I could see two bright headlights coming through the trees as they bounced down the dirt road.
It was him—the old Chevy Silverado with the silver toolbox in the back.
Of course, it had to be him.
He’d messed up this time, though; there was no way she’d forgive him now, not after tonight. With a smirk, I watched, wondering what kind of pitiful attempt he’d make to win her back this time, knowing that whatever it was wouldn’t be enough. Then he stepped out of his truck.
He was covered in black grease from head to foot and wore a mechanic uniform. He held something small in his arms, something with a bright red bow tied around its neck. It was hard to tell, but it looked like a little black lab from where I stood. Trustingly, it pressed its head against his chest and darted its eyes around the new scenery.
He walked up the porch steps. He was going to knock, but before he could, Caitlyn flung the door inward and glared at him. As much as I hated how she felt, that twisted expression of anger she gave him gave me more joy than I could’ve imagined. That joy was only fleeting, though. The man flashed a white smile as he looked down at his arms, rubbing the puppy’s head. It melted the expression right off of her face.
“Oh my God!” She squealed, happily shuffling her feet as she held her arms out.
I was appalled. A puppy? One dog and all of his sins are erased?
The two of them seemed so giddy together. They laughed and hugged and spoke in high voices to the puppy while they rubbed his head. The whole scene made me sick to my stomach if you really want to know the truth.
I don’t know how he did it—how he managed to weasel his way back into her heart and occupy the space that was so rightfully mine—truly, I didn’t. Who knows, maybe it was all an act. Perhaps it was her way of telling me, “you should’ve knocked.” And now, this is my punishment.
Maybe I should’ve. Maybe then I could’ve been the one to answer that door. A puppy wouldn’t soften my eyes, not like hers. I failed her, I know, but I will not fail her again. That is the last night he will ever come knocking on her door. I’m certain of it.

2024.05.15 23:36 TheNightsFavorite Places to go for a birthday of someone in their late 40s

My friends mom has a birthday coming up on a Saturday and she wanted to surprise her with something new. Her mom is single and in her late 40s but is not the best at finding events and things to go out and meet people at. She wanted to maybe set up a sort of blind date or meetup for her mom but since we both don't know any single men around that age, are there any nice lounges or restaurants in the North ATL/Alpharetta/Roswell/Marietta areas that her mom could meet some new people or they enjoy a nice evening at?
Thanks! 😁

2024.05.15 23:36 Allygaytor_ Some psychologists say man and women can’t be friends platonically. Do you think two gay men can be friends without a single thought of hooking up?

I have many gay friends and have no romantic interest in them. But every partner I’ve had has always been uncomfortable with me hanging out alone with fellow gay people. I couldn’t have sex with these people if I tried. Are you guys comfortable with your parter around other gay men? For some reason, I can’t see a straight man and women be friends without tension. So now I am curious what others think. I personally would only choose a partner I felt comfortable with being alone with gay men and not be tempted. I don’t have the energy for jealousy or doubt.

Hello there! I've been reading through X-Men from the beginning in the 60s using the Ultimate X-Men reading guide and am now in the mid 80s and was wondering if I should worry about reading Wolverine's solo series in tandem with the mainline X-Men series or are they completely separate? The guide only mentions a couple issues that presumably show when other team members show up in his series.
Thank you in advance!

2024.05.15 23:35 Ur_Anemone Why Gen Z has killed the Pill

Why Gen Z has killed the Pill
Feminism has forgotten where it came from
Once seen as a tool of sexual liberation, the Pill is now often spoken of as a pharmaceutical menace, wreaking havoc with female moods and increasing the risk of cancer. It was first rolled out on the NHS in 1961 — for married women, of course. And though still the most popular method of birth-control, its use is plummeting — data published in June last year showed that community pharmacies dispensed 7.2 million items of progestogen and combined contraceptives in 2022-3. In 2014/15, the number was 8.5 million…
The poisonous dating scene may be all the contraceptive we need. It also dampens hopes of a male Pill — if there even was one, would women trust them to take it? Probing further, the common refrains emerge. “I’ve never met a penis that’s worth the risk.”
Most women I speak to also cite cancer concerns. I can pinpoint the exact moment my circles started fretting about this — the publication of an Oxford studyin March last year, which showed progestogen-only contraception raised the risk of breast cancer by up to 30%, an effect which disappears a year or so after you stop taking it. The extra cases of breast cancer amounted to eight in 100,000 for those in their late teens, and 265 in their late 30s. In other words, there will be just 0.008-0.265% more cases of breast cancer because of the Pill. The only new information in the study was that the risks of progestogen-only contraception were similar to those of the combined Pill — stats which had been known about for decades. But the ripples of panic among women I knew (and myself, before I looked into it more) were completely out of proportion.
It cannot escape us that a generation so accepting of the considerably greater risks of gender-affirming hormones is so worried about those of the Pill. This tells you, I believe, how ideological the use of oral contraceptives actually is: in a cishet context, synthetic hormones are symbolic of the lack of parity between the sexes (“I feel slightly hard done-by as a woman that we’re expected to take drugs that could potentially harm us when men get off scot-free,” says one friend); for a gender-dysphoric teenager, they are framed as a revolutionary tool…
Politically, the Pill has always been grist to any mill going — a cypher for social malaise. Its liberating potential is a big topic in the manosphere — it variously frees men from the apparently oppressive strictures of monogamy or allows women, formerly wiping baby-sick from chins at home as they should, to sail through workplace hierarchies and tread on men’s prospects. In feminist circles, its emancipating qualities have been linked to a casual sex culture which ultimately disadvantages women. While I know this to be true, I think what gives men the desire and ability to pick up and cast aside partners has to do with more than just pharmaceuticals.
What will really sink the Pill, though, is not its cancer risk, mental health impacts or effectiveness — but its susceptibility to the swirl of ideologies that swamps modern women. It has become synonymous with self-fashioning; do you identify as a feminist, are you sex-positive, are you a health nut? Are you a Catholic, are you a witch, are you a femcel? Any one of these labels has a corresponding stance on the Pill. What was once a question of being liberated or not has been swept up in the thousand atomised tribes of modern identity politics. We have forgotten how hard-won reproductive rights are, and look with disdain on many of the women who fought for and secured us those rights in the Fifties and Sixties, and whose views we now deem outmoded. Fragmentary feminism is at risk of forgetting where it came from.
It matters greatly if the Pill falls out of fashion, because in a world where abortion rights are ever more precarious, we need to be on our guard about contraceptive trends — fuelled by exaggeration, misinformation and purity fantasies, they may in fact land any one of us with an unwanted pregnancy. In the sweep of history, having sex without having a baby has only recently become an option — and it may not be forever.

2024.05.15 23:34 Valbug82 I think I might be non-binary

I think I might be non-binary
I can't believe I'm "questioning/coming out" again at 42. I went through a lot just to come out as "lesbian" having grown up very conservative Christian and it feels overwhelming to be questioning my identity again after enjoying feeling almost settled into myself for once.
I went back and forth about being gay or being Christian. I'm my mind, at the time, the two weren't compatible. That's what I was being taught anyways. I came out first at 18 and lived with my girlfriend, completely out. At some point, I decided I hadn't tried hard enough or was too young at the time I was "battling" my sexuality so I decided to try to be a "good straight Christian woman" again, this time as an adult, around 22 yo.
I decided to take it seriously and enrolled in a Bible college where I met a guy I would eventually be married to for 6 years, unsuccessfully playing the role of God-fearing Christian wife. My husband knew all about my struggles before we married and he disapproved when I confessed this arrangement wasn't working. He thought I was giving up and should keep fighting, but neither of us were happy. I did him a favor setting him free from me.
So, at 30, I was finally out (for real this time) and never went back. I started actually living and discovering myself again.
When I first came out at 18, I was more masc presenting, but obviously went back to a more femme appearance during Bible College. So, when I came out again at 30, I maintained my femme appearance for a while until more recently.
I feel like I've been so focused on just my sexuality most of my life that I haven't really allowed myself the opportunity to explore my gender identity much. I had a negative experience as a masc-presenting teenager so maybe that played a role too. But, as I've gotten more comfortable with myself, I started cutting my hair shorter and shorter. In the last couple years, I feel like I've really settled into myself. With that, however, I've started to realize that I'm really disassociating with my femininity on a deeper level. I have started using a binder a bit more and I really prefer dressing up in button-ups, a vest, a tie, nice men's style dress shoes. I started to wonder if I was trans and have been looking into that, but I definitely have hesitations about that and don't feel like I identify as a man either. At least not now.
I'm really just starting to scratch the surface of discovering my gender identity and it's exhausting to think about. I just want to BE. It's daunting to think about all this.
Thanks for letting me just work through this a bit here in a safe space 😊
