    On my part, as one of the people who answered, I also hope I didn't come of as condescending, it was honestly not my intention.
    I hope you don't think I was exaggerating about my experience at my school as a teenager. Unless out of the 250 girls I knew I was the only one lying about not masturbating because I was the only one actually doing it, haha.
    About the possibility of me getting fired in the hypothetical of this happening with a student, I can only speculate. I do think there is a possibility that my bosses would believe me that it's fake, being a woman would probably benefit me in this circumstance and I have earned their trust. But it's also possible that lawyers would advise them to fire me or that the public in general would demand it. I just really hope this remains a hypothetical. It probably won't for some of my colleagues.

    As a woman, I feel like the reason it's more devastating for women is that we are socially shamed for our sexuality while men are praised. At least that was true while I was growing up as a millennial. A boy that hooked up a lot was a stud, a girl was a slut and everyone would bully them. I distinctively remember boys talking about masturbating and myself having to pretend that I had never done it along with all girls at my school. Admitting it would have meant being bullied forever.
    On a different note, I'm a teacher and I teach teenagers. If one of them wants to think about me while masturbating, as long as they don't tell me, go nuts. But if fake porn with one of my students was leaked, I'd probably lose my job and become unhirable, just in case.

    I guess the difference is that you can notice, or they even tell you, when a reenactment is happening. These were supposed to just be photos of her. If what the person from the documentary said is true and all they did was blur the background, I don't see an issue. If the whole thing is ai designed, it's a bit weird/unnecessary.

    I have found that a great option for public bathrooms in cities are hotels. I always ask the receptionist if it's ok to use the bathroom in the lobby and nobody has said no yet.

    I love Spielberg and this is a great film, the cinematography, the acting, the editing are all great. My only problem is that whenever I watch it, it really forces me to suspend disbelief. I want to believe that the military cares about a poor mother about to lose her last son. They not only care, they are willing to spend resources and risk the lives of many other men for that mother. I struggle with the idea and even when the script gets really good later I can't forget that everything happening comes from that first concept. Maybe I'm wrong and stories like this have happened.

    Oh, absolutely. At some point she noticed she had no idea what she was talking about and started looking at the pages herself before speaking. Just embarrassing.

    Yeah, that was my favorite too. Other than the obvious mistakes, her emphasis on how different people are in Egypt and China is worrying.

    Hope you enjoy it. It's an imagined situation based on a real historical event. My aunt lived there at the time and remembers it very well.

    I just love the secret in their eyes so much!!! Make sure to watch the Argentinian version, the other one is terrible. On that note, for the moody/creepy vive, wild tales from Argentina y also great. For drama/comedy, there's a Uruguayan movie called El baño del Papa (the Pope's toilet) which I love.

    The same thing happened to me, but with doing exercise. I really hate exercising, but wanting to continue listening motivates me a lot. That's why I only listen then.
