Would you like to see what we post on the Facebook page here? I feel like that's just filler but if it will get eyes to the community then I'll do it. Otherwise are there any other things you guys would like to see? I don't want to just reflect Reddit's content but I can mirror that here if you want. Or other ideas, just let me know.

I'm listening now and into the second chapter and I can definitely say I am really enjoying this.

If she’s been like this before she underwent all this, then she was already treating you very badly and recent events only made it worse. I’m not any kind of doctor so I won’t throw around diagnoses, but I recognize these behaviors from other people describing what they’ve experienced from people who were emotionally and physically abusing them. I’ve also experienced some myself from being emotionally abused and neglected.

This sounds like abuse to me. You are being abused and manipulated maliciously and therapy can help you get through this. I was diagnosed with cPTSD, complex post traumatic stress disorder, which is PTSD that happens after long term trauma (especially in childhood, which is mine). Years with an abusive partner could definitely affect you this way.

You deserve a life of happiness. The sooner you get into therapy, the sooner you can get to happiness, or at least away from abuse. You are not going to change her.

 

Audible has a new Starship Troopers audiobook read by RC Bray. Strongly recommend. -- /u/theseventhbear on Reddit

Not who you’re replying to, but definitely. I manage several Instagram accounts that aren’t my personal accounts and the algorithm feeds me things I’d expect in my personal while I’m in one of the others. One of them I’m only logged into so it’s not as much, but the other is attached to me more because I created it, I guess, and even though I’ve curated a much different following list, and do entirely different things on that account, it still shows me more personal things.

I went through menopause just a few years ago. It threw everything into an upheaval. Thank goodness I didn’t have a partner to be like this to, but therapy definitely helped. She is absolutely going through a lot, physically and mentally, and will be for years. I still have hot flash episodes for weeks at a time and it’s always different.

Your feelings are valid. You have every right to them. Just because someone is going through chemical changes in their body doesn’t mean they can abuse you like this. Telling you that you have no right to your feelings is emotional abuse and she has no right to do that to you. You both need help to get through this, whether separate or together, but this is all new and for you to be told to sit down and shut up is just heartbreaking. Everything happening to her is also happening to you because it seems to me that she’s taking it all out on you and yeah, that affects you.

You are not dumb or stupid. You are caring and sympathetic to what she’s going through, and she reacts to this with hostility and arrogance. I can’t imagine anyone is obligated to put up with that from anyone, for any reason. It might change in time, but not if she never acknowledges the validity of your feelings and your right to have them.

I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

Commenting from Lemmy.world where I saw it in my feed. Not sure if that’s helpful.

[–] pixelmeow 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I figured it was probably more trouble than it was worth. It hadn’t occurred to me either, I was very surprised to see it. You could maybe blur anything that has nsfw in the community name or in the url, but meh, I more wanted to throw this out there than anything. :)

[–] pixelmeow 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The thing is, even with blurring and not showing nsfw, that preview image was not blurred. I understand about account settings not all being available.

Thank you for all your hard work on this app! 💙

[–] pixelmeow 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This was the answer, thank you. I guess I’m used to that option being “hide nsfw content”, which I don’t ever select, I’d rather it be there but blurred.

Again, thanks!

[–] pixelmeow 1 points 3 weeks ago

No, but great idea settings

I never use the web, only Arctic. I opened the site on my phone browser and see this: Firefox on my phone. Odder and odder. It’s the same on my computer.

I responded on the original post. It is a portulaca.

 

When you tap on a post that has a video link, it initially seems to show a Piped link, but it quickly changes to YouTube. I’m not sure if this is how it’s supposed to be but thought you might want to know.

 

This has been happening since the beginning, I just kept putting off posting. When I vote on a comment inside a post, the vote disappears if I fold the parent comment or if I scroll far enough that the voted comment goes offscreen. Sometimes the second attempt at voting sticks, today that isn’t working. The video shows the second attempt at voting on these comments.

I figured it must be just me since nobody else posted about it but maybe it’s not just me?

On a user’s cake day, the slice of cake icon appears next to their username like in the other place. I know Apollo reflected this, is it possible in Arctic?

I love that 'moon' is written under 'place.'

What are you reading? (self.the_heinlein_society)
 

I’m reading Time Enough For Love. Lazarus is getting back into his country doctor persona because Llita is pregnant.

I love to read this book every few years, I get something different from it each time.
