Important Breakup Advice:
Make a list of everything you hated about being with them, focus on the bad feelings their behavior gave you.
When you get sad about not being with them refer to the list. It works surprisingly well.

Talk to a therapist. Not just you, everyone.
We all have trauma, talking about it can help you come to peace with it. Then it won't be this cringe thing (or whatever negative emotion it invokes) in your thought pattern.
Once I coded a module to completion with no errors. I still wake up with night terrors that I missed something.
:(, this is one of the ones I was writing a huge description on... I'll just post my research here.
Ophelia is a character in Hamlet.
Long story short, she goes crazy after discovering Hamlet, her betrothed (who is acting crazy to see what his enemies will do), killed her father (by accident, thinking he was someone else - but she doesn't know that). Then, she's walking around a forest in shock, unable to comprehend the horrible events, singing these songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcmN1zBSf4c. A few scenes later Gertrude said she drowned, and they're not sure if it was a suicide or accidental.
In the painting she is laying down in the water, either still singing or recently dead (depending on your interpretation).
This is another work of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood - a group of British painters that rejected the at-the-time notion to follow Raphael's prolific output. They thought it was formulaic and made for dull paintings. They were basically the emo kids of the mid-1800s art world. They thought only the most dramatic subjects should be painted, and detail should be given to stuff like the background - Raphael largely ignored anything but the main subjects of the painting.
In this painting you can see a lot of time was spent on the trees and flowers surrounding her.
Compare that with Raphael's most famous work:
There's a background and some foreground, but it's in service of the main characters -who are the only elements with bright colors. Ophelia seems to be inseparable from the other elements in the painting, and the flowers around her are brightly colored.
The Pre-Raphaelites were also a precursor to the Impressionists, who would pop on the scene 20 years later in France.
The plants, most of which have symbolic significance, were depicted with painstaking botanical detail. The roses near Ophelia's cheek and dress, and the field rose on the bank, may allude to her brother Laertes calling her 'rose of May'. The willow, nettle and daisy are associated with forsaken love, pain, and innocence. Pansies refer to love in vain. Violets, which Ophelia wears in a chain around her neck, stand for faithfulness, chastity or death of the young, any of which meanings could apply here. The poppy signifies death. Forget-me-nots float in the water. [2]
Elizabeth Siddal posed for hours in a tub while Millais painted. She stayed, motionless despite the oil lamps keeping the water warm burning out, and she nearly died from the resulting illness (that's the story, but she also seemed like a sickly person that may have had tuberculosis). Siddal was a model for many of the Brotherhood, and eventually married one. She later died from overdosing pain meds before it was cool (although it may have been a suicide).
Here's a more extreme version of a Pre-Raphaelite background I was talking about earlier:
See how the main characters are the center of the painting's attention, but almost no one else is paying attention to them. There seems to be something going on stage right. Note: it also has Siddal as a model.
Wow, what a beautiful painting. Thanks for posting this. I went to her site and I think she is now my favorite contemporary artist.
Leech, an Irish painter, went to France to study French art. While he was there he contracted Typhus - a bacterial infection that can cause fever and delirium. He was nursed back to health at a hospital staffed by nuns in Brittany, and it inspired him for this painting.
Nuns in a walled convent wearing wedding gowns, as was custom of the time when they took their final vows on the day they became full nuns. The vibrant atmosphere of the pure nuns surrounded by nature alive with surprising hints of color in each paint stroke.
The strokes rarely overlap, meaning he planned it very carefully.
I'd watch that. But there should be a really good musical number called "Everything is rape without consent" or something... It probably wouldn't be appropriate for the target audience, but yes I agree with the point you're making: Snow White & Cinderella are way fucked.
I was watching a "free" movie on Tubi the other day, when a commercial came on and blasted my eardrums. It really took me back.
For it was my late childhood and early adolescence that our family finally achieved cable television. If you fell asleep with the TV on, god help you when it woke you up at 2 AM with a commercial louder than an atomic blast playing Enya and Enigma in Pure Moods.
Glory to Cable Networks and bless the FCC for the awakenings. For even though everyone hated the constant volume change, the FCC was powerless to stop it against the might of The Telecommunications act of 1994, which they themselves crafted with the wisdom of the telecom industry. Specifically these glorious sentences:
Title III: Regulatory Reform - Bars any State or local statute, regulation, or legal requirement from prohibiting the ability of any entity to provide interstate or intrastate telecommunications services.
and
Title VII: Media Diversity - Requires the FCC to complete a proceeding to: (1) modify or remove national and local ownership rules on radio and television broadcast stations to ensure that broadcasters are able to compete fairly with other media providers and that the public receives information from a diversity of media sources; (2) review a certain ownership restriction with respect to cable operators and report to the Congress on whether such restriction serves the public interest; and (3) consider the applicability of the FCC's rules regarding network non-duplication protection, syndicated exclusivity protection, and sports programming exclusivity to programmers whose programs are transmitted on common carrier video platforms.
Which, among other things, allowed monopolies in media including ClearChannel which quickly ruined radio for everyone. Bless us all.
How is Lemmy paying for the servers they need to serve content? I have no idea, but someone is footing the bill.
Yep. Once you get the hang of it, you will cringe to think of all the wasted effort that came before. But getting the hang of it takes dedication.
I feel like the American media is out of control and is no longer a tool of the people, but a fire hose of the wealthy, disseminating whatever will help them keep their power.
They have convinced the people that news makes you intelligent, when really the lack of new ideas and differing viewpoints creates a closed feedback loop so they just regurgitate whatever they hear with absolute confidence, but if you ask them a question it all falls apart.
Fox, CNN, New York Times, NPR, it's all owned or supported in such a way that they dare not bite the hand that feeds it.
So I, for one, am open to hearing what foreign countries have to say.
I hope you don't. And I'm sorry.
I lost my best friend in February. It fucking sucks.
He was a big partier. Once he hit his late 30s he ballooned to probably over 300. He took a nap one day and had a heart attack in his little attic room of his friend's house, where he had lived for 10 years. Our big friend group from back in the day is wondering who will go next.
