They are, but they’re not typically filmed with the express intent to post online

The 40 weeks thing is from your last period, not conception, so by that logic you’d want the due date to be June 3rd anyway. But a traumatic event can change your family planning after any amount of time. And it’s moot anyway cause Vance is a liar

Right, but most people don’t really know the difference between fit and thin. Thin people can eat poorly and develop diabetes, too.

Your body starts producing sugar for you to eat if you fast too long. That’s why they tell diabetics to eat or snack every 2ish hours. To keep your glucose level

That was my guess too, but I needed someone with more memory of the show to confirm

12. But it feels really weird that someone I slept with hundreds of times, often in sessions of 40 minutes to two hours would count the same towards that number as someone who I slept with once for 15 minutes.

Of the 12, 4 were a single time, 1 was a few times and the rest were over a year of sleeping together, usually 2 or 3.

For what it’s worth the sex was only physically pleasurable in the long term deals for me.

I feel like Jan from The IT Crowd. I’m reading this paragraph again and it still is like TV snow to me :(

I thought servers were the physical machines where the cloud is stored. Like everything has to live somewhere and the servers are the hardware where stuff lives.

I mean it’s think the chestnut is saying, “you don’t look autistic” or just saying like, no that’s not true! Or reassuring them they’re “not like other autistics.” Basically anything that treats the diagnosis as inherently bad

You look like a Sarah to me :) like you should be surrounded by flowers

This is a narrow take. You can switch from beef to chicken to be healthier. You’re not saying i want to eat the healthiest version regardless of when I enjoy, you’re saying between these two meats I enjoy, chicken is the healthier protein. It’s not a lie that it’s about health just because they’re not following your standards

Even if she’s immediately an ex due to her behavior, I think a lot of people would rather their close friends not sleep with an ex. It’s like, if you two fall in love after we’re over, you can’t stop love, but if you’re just getting your rocks off, there are plenty of fish

Ugh we just got cut out of our friend group for very similar situation, except the asshole won. He almost cheated on his then fiance, he did screw over his “best friend” my husband, and when he learned my husband had told me about the emotional affair, he manipulated us and everyone, campaigned against us and eventually got us disliked and dropped by everyone. It really sucked, these were lifelong friends. My only hope is that they eventually all see who he is. I doubt it, as it’s been a year and a half, and his now wife just had a baby. I feel the worst for her in the situation.

Thinking that 50 percent of women are shallow gold diggers seems a bit high. There are plenty of men who have superficial feelings about how they want their wife to look, but it’s nowhere near 50/50. Usually those gym bros and trophy wives pair up so they’re not really hurting anyone normal with their expectations.

Personally, I wear a silicone ring. So does my spouse. Our rings for our wedding were a hand me down and a band with a non diamond stone. That said, it’s fair to want a ring. It’s fair to want the tradition, and it’s fair to be comforted by the idea that your partner has been thinking about asking you to merge lives for longer than just today. A ring used to mean more when women weren’t allowed their own bank accounts (actually very recently, in the scheme of things), but it’s still meaningful in a society where we’re taught (incorrectly) that men value non commitment, and don’t want to get “chained” to a “nagging wife.”

Funnily, it’s guys who make comments like you (that it’s a total toss up whether any woman has an ounce of substance to her or if she’s a total bimbo who only cares about money) that make women afraid that men are not going to fully commit which is why things like a big unnecessary time commitment before the proposal seems romantic and reassuring

I do not think this will be a popular choice on Lemmy, but Ms. Piggy, like no question. She is hilarious and a monster and why is Kermie so goo goo eyes for her, she is ridiculous, and I love her.

I think about this a lot. But it’s also so hot out and I know these (individual) guys aren’t getting paid enough. If I call them in for starting up half an hour early, I feel like an asshole because the alternative is them doing more work in the heat of the day. You know their employers aren’t gonna hire more guys to get it done quicker before the heat becomes oppressive or dangerous.

But also let me fucking sleep I’m dying here

Lol I did get it immediately after, but my instant thought was wait, read and lead don’t rhyme?

When she did communicate, he called it a tantrum. Plus, he left her.

Do you mean me? It couldn’t be further from the truth. I looked into my child’s eyes earlier today and literally had the thought, “this is the meaning of everything.” My chest swelled with love i couldn’t have known possible and I thought, " Right here in front of me is the entire purpose of the universe. "

I’m not being facetious, that literally happened this morning. I had the thought at a separate time this morning that marriage and children is the whole and only point of life. You fall so deeply in love and finally understand all love songs. They become literal to you instead of metaphorical. And then you have a child, and the meaning of every love song deepens ten fold. Suddenly, “I have loved you for a thousand years, and I’ll love you for a thousand more” seems somehow literal. Like everyone in my lineage fought and lived and reproduced to get to this little toddler in front of me, and I will live and die for them, happily, and with any luck, that will get passed down for a thousand years beyond me. My familial connections are strong among my parents, my siblings, my aunts and uncles, my cousins, my nieces and nephews.

People who aren’t lucky or privileged enough to experience this kind of deep, biological, animal love… I genuinely feel sorry for them. I don’t judge anyone’s choices, and if you think children aren’t for you, they probably aren’t. They’re a fuck ton of work. But I guess I believe that I’m just a mammal. And giving into my instinct to have a child is the most natural thing and my mammal brain rewards my giving into this instinct greatly.

Ooh and the question specifically mentions “someone else.” By the time I scrolled down enough, I forgot about that.

Anyway I have both considered offing myself, and on a night where a dude scared me on a dark street I wished I had a gun. I guess that’s not the same as wanting to shoot him. I just wanted to have something that would make him as scared of me as I was of him. I just wanted to be left alone.

Ooh that’s a good point! I hadn’t looked at it like that!

Of course the meltdown I’m thinking of is that his own toddler was trying to eat old food off the floor and I was preventing that and offering fresh food while babysitting for free for him.

He doesn’t have meltdowns so often now, but the only thing that changed is that he feels safe and comfortable around us. Ironically, his bad behavior is what made us uncomfortable around him which is what made him feel unsafe. So as it got better, it just got better and better.

Unfortunately for him, he was raised in an emotionally abusive home, so his regular bad behavior was learned and then when we reacted poorly to that it would lead to an actual meltdown. Consistent kind behavior and firm boundaries is what eventually led to a two way street respectful situation. A meltdown now would be much more accepted and understood but we had to go to group therapy to get here.
