Love Penzeys Spices! The ‘Justice’ seasoning is also really tasty in savoury dishes. Next order I will have to try out the ‘Fox Point’ as it sounds great. For sweet stuff, their ‘Pie Spice’ is wonderful (goes well with anything sweet that has cinnamon in it)!
Nope. He’s just a bit slack jawed at her naive answer in the 2nd pic.
Longer explanation: This is from Miss Congeniality movie starring Sandra Bullock who is a cop who has to go undercover as a beauty pageant contestant for a case. The meme pictures are from the questions portion of the pageant. The guy is the pageant host and asks about her perfect date. The second panel is the contestant responding. She had a sheltered upbringing and misunderstands the questions intention. She happily replies with an actual date on the calendar April 25th citing the nice weather and light attire.
Or is it just the typ?
It may not be exactly what you’re asking for, but someone on Lemmy made a 2025 reality check website to help.
Officially named Pussyhats, they were first worn symbolically at the 2017 US Women’s March in Washington DC. Created by Krista Suh and Jayna Zweiman (who met at an LA knitting club), the hat was made in direct response to grab em by the pussy remark from tdump. The original idea was for marchers to knit, sew, or crochet hats to create a visual statement —a sea of pink. “If everyone at the march wears a pink hat, the crowd will be a sea of pink, showing that we stand together, united,” reads the introduction to the knitting pattern on the Pussyhat Project website. The actual hats were created by people who could not attend physically, but wanted to show their support.
Since then, some have come out against it as any one symbol isn’t as all encompassing as they would like, but none have yet given or inspired a good replacement for such a strong show of women’s solidarity.

Ah, yes, lying to your face for multiple years over a legitimate concern is exactly what a strong relationship foundation looks like. /s
You say you need to forgive and forget, but that puts the onus on you to do all the heavy emotional lifting. They are the ones who messed up. They are who needs to step up to continuously demonstrate that they have changed. If you choose to stay consider acknowledging and navigating with eyes wide open instead of brushing it under the rug of blanket forgiveness.
You call him an angel, but do remember that Lucifer/the devil was also once an angel.
Trust your gut and move on. Death by 1000 papercuts is still death. The trust with him is already gone because of their actions and literally years long deceit. If they cared about you, they would have already made you the priority and honored/validated your concerns about their ‘friends’ for the last two years. Not just when they can’t cover their tracts anymore (you moving in together) and hope they have you cornered/worn down enough for you to give in easily to their faults. If they cared they wouldn’t gaslight you into thinking you’re crazy/jealous over something that ACTUALLY happened. Do not let them sway you with this sunk cost fallacy. Take your efforts and energy to where they are appreciated. You deserve to be treated better. They know it and your stomach knows it.
Totally thought the lady was wearing a ta-ta towels knockoff brand.
Wishing him a very happy birthday!
(Current experience) What flavor is his birthday cake/dessert?
(Past experience) Specific- He would have spent 3 birthdays in camp. I assume that no one mentioned their birthday passing so as to not attract their captors attention. Is that accurate?
I’m unfamiliar with some of these flags.

I mean wouldn’t you want to separate yourself from people who put you in essentially an abusive prison/lockdown camp for nearly a year because they didn’t bother trying to help you with your ADHD?

Sure there’s vanity, but there’s also societal and cultural pressures to appear a certain way. Here’s a great study of gray hair and people’s perceptions of it. Gendered ageism and gray hair: must older women choose between feeling authentic and looking competent?
Looks like Oct. 18, 2022 according to the source article listed elsewhere in the comments.
-The comic literally states that he should smile more and that is a demand on how he should be. If he wanted to smile he would.
-The angry face is a thing that I acknowledged and agreed with, and said I had experience with in my first comment. Please re-read for better comprehension.
-My sentence"…even if just in passing" implies the inclusion of someone who you may not otherwise interact with. Strangers who talk to you are inherently in a more intimate category than strangers who don’t talk/interact to you.
-Saying that the people in the situations given are in positions akin to predator and prey is an apt analogy. It is not saying someone turns into a bear and the other a fish. There are many shifts of power during conversations and not acknowledging the natural and situational power dynamics does everyone a disservice.
I never once said that someone’s looks were the reason they were the predator/prey in a situation.
You must have missed my last paragraph. It doesn’t matter the sex/gender of the person, but it does matter who holds the natural power/advantage in any situation. Being stronger, taller, quicker, larger, heavier, speaking first, and speaking louder are all innate advantages and any person can find themselves being any of those things depending on the situation they are in.
My pointing out that those are two separate situations and not equivalent experiences due to differing power dynamics is in no way shutting down or stopping the conversation. It is rather making space for there to be a better comparison to be made.
Being told to smile is inherently sexual in its nature, it’s a demand to look prettier for the pleasure of the viewer/speaker. The statement is usually said unprovoked and carries the hint of threat from the speaker as they have set themselves up as the person with the power by simply making the demand first. The one being catcalled is automatically on the defense and has to choose to cooperate or refuse, both answers may come with a future physical/sexual threat. In this scenario you are prey and the predator’s eye is on you (maybe for food, maybe for play).
Someone asking if you’re mad, assumes they know you in some way even if just in passing. It also assumes you have some power that they fear your anger/upset and are hoping to mitigate it to protect themselves if possible. That question can come from a from a sincere place or an insincere one, but it really isn’t a sexually inclined question. The question can be asked as concern for you, concern for themselves, or both. The person asking has the power of speaking first which forces you to respond -agree, refute, or ignore the statement. The asker then gives over the power to you, allowing you to direct the rest of the conversation with your response. In this situation you are the predator and the asker is the prey that is hoping that you already have a full belly.
Lastly in my previous comment I validated their experiences and even shared my own struggles with the particular issue they mentioned. I also acknowledged and empathized with the frustrations that come with the given situations.
So what’s a better situational comparison of ‘you are prey and the predator’s eye is on you’?
Oh …well… then I’ll have the chicken.
You may consider becoming part of the Big Brother/Big Sisters club (if in the US). That way you can be a good presence in their life without having to commit to parenting 24/7. Bigs are not replacement parents, but rather someone to be a good friend to the child/Little, spending one on one time with them, being a good role model in their lives, and giving them/guiding them through new experiences with a trusted and safe adult. My understanding is that all the Littles in the program have lost one or more of their parents. Anyway, it’s something to consider being part of if you ever want to scratch that itch.
Sorry your Mom wasn’t good to you. I’m glad you still have the kindness and willingness to be better than those that came before. I wish you a wonderfully cold beverage, strong greens, and a beautiful sunset this evening.
