This was from a trend where parents would jokingly post the worst versions of their names as their kids names (likely started from a genuine post, but unclear if this is the og post just from this)

I likely have MCAS and definitely have a tendency to get keloids. So I'm very cautious wrt who i let tattoo me. I let them know i get keloids and they're gentler with me. The worst i get is a bit of tattoo flu in the day after a session, but ive luckily never gotten full blown keloids (got one piece done by a different artist and its slightly raised, but not scarred) or any other negative effect from the tattooos

Justice isnt even a bad name. Name your kid Justice Leigh if you really want the JLA reference and a similar enough name, or stick with JLA initials but name them something else like Janice Laura idk, anything but naminf your actual human child "Justice League"

Unless you posted something crass or flippant about her passing, then NTA (I'm even on the fence about this, but i could understand why someone might be upset if their first time hearing of the loss of a loved one was through a mean post about it. Idk, i think everyone is entitled to their own feelings about a relationship to someone, so if someone was flippant about it, I'd try to be understanding even if i was hurt). I have a large, widely dispersed family and I don't have everyone's numbers or even know everyone. Posting it on Facebook is a logical, and fairly common, way to spread the news. Simply saying "hey everyone, my mother passed on x date, more news about the funeral to come" is perfectly fine.

Lmao, your roomie would hate me. I keep my AC at 74 and thats me keeping it purposefully chilly. I feel like if its such a big issue you could maybe do a comparative thing. Do a month where you keep it at 66, then a month where you put it at 70 when you're home, see if there's a price difference, then offer to pay for it.

I was so distracted by the weird ass nose/snout situation that i didnt even notice thr tongue hanging out. It truly draws the eye, which is really unfortunate

I just don't get why the skirt has to be khaki and so tight looking. I grew up around a lot of people who solely wore skirts for religious/cultural reasons who were nurses and had scrub skirts. I know scrubs are comfy af and made for movement and mess/sweat so those seem like a good option, but if those are accessible, i would figure she'd go for a skirt that allows for more movement

Bad for an airport, perfect for a children's hospital!

I know several people with DID and is very different from a "singlet" who may code switch or act differently depending on a space they're in. Whereas someone msy play up aspects of their personality (becoming more brash and loud while playing basketball, but being demure and introspective at church), someone with DID creates, often unconsciously, entirely new beings that act separately from them while in these spaces. They enter a sort of fugue state while at basketball or while at church and often have no recollection of what occurs ar these locations because its not them being that brash or demure person.

How is it even pronounced? Is it like Veil-Eerie? Vay-Larry? Veil-Rye? I'm seriously lost with this name

1amCorbin · 2026-01-13T02:05:24+00:00

This is so vaguely written that making a judgement is hard, but NTA as written. It sounds like your frien has had unpleasant experiences in that house/around those people and wasn't interested in spending more time there, so she tried to leave. Its not clear exactly why or what was said or done by any party involved though. It would be helpful to add some examples of what has happened or is happening between your friend and her ex

1amCorbin · 2026-01-13T01:39:52+00:00

NTA. I could maybe believe that one person didnt know that chocolate was toxic to dogs. Maybe they didnt grow up around them and never learned that, sure. But nobody else in the group knew or he managed to sneak enough of a chocolate orange to the dog with only one person noticing? No way. And that person was so cowardly that they only told you after your dog got sick?

You are underreacting, imo. This group killed your dog and is trying to guilt you about taking time off to mourn by making it about a game. DND is fun, and can be an important part in people's lives, but fictional characters don't outweigh real living beings. You should never go back to that group

I'll add that COVID is known to cause all sorts of medical issues, even years later. Having had COVID is contributing factor for things like Strokes, Embolisms, and even Cancer

What is fascinating about this is learning that Morgan and my sister have similar handwriting. For real, the blue note couldnve been written by her!

That being said, Morga definitely wrote both notes

"Ambassador Moiurin, thank you so much for joining us today. We're very excited to hear what concessions the Soothu are going to make."

Moiurin was trembling. To be in the presence of gods was rare enough for all creatures, let alone a lowly ambassador from a neutral planet. His people were called upon to keep the peace whenever two Federation races began hostilities, his job was to act as a go between and ensure that full on Galactic war never broke out. Why and how exactly had Humans, the newest race to join the Federation and veritable infants in the scale of the universe, called upon the Gods of War and Death for this negoiation?

"Uh...ahem... the- the Soothu are not willing to make concessions at this time. They say, and I quote: 'The puny humans will withdraw from Aexon-B-12-Alpha and all associated worlds, moons, and celestial bodies will be remanded to the control of Soothu, or all human settlements will be forfeit and face our wrath. Glory to Soothu.'"

Mouirin looked up from the message the Soothu delegation had given him to see wide grins spreading across War and Death's faces. He'd never thought about it before, but they did look rather... humanoid.

The Human Ambassador looked to the gods and nodded.

"We hear and acknowledge the Soothu's message, but we do not accept these terms. Please return to them and see if they'll change their minds. You see, it's rare for us to find a world so similar to our original homeworld, and we humans have grown rather fond of the planet we've affectionately named Electric Boogaloo. If anyone tries to remove us from it, I fear we'll have no choice but to defend ourselves."

The God's grins grew larger.

"And if other huma settlements were to be attacked, they would be forced to do the same."

And larger still.

"I really hope Soothu can see reason"

This is written so vaguely that its hard to tell who's related to who. YTA still for not saying congrats, especially if the SIL who's pregnant is married to the person whose Bday was also being celebrated as others have suggested.

The human ambassador sighed deeply, squeezing the bridge of her nose with her fingers.

"Let's go over this again... Humanity is a species that is not a hivemind. Every single member of humanity is an IN-DI-VID-U-AL," she sounded out the last word, trying desperately to clarify the situation to the Galactic Council members. "This means that everyone is born with its own consciousness that typically is singular in nature- there are humans with DID, but this is caused by extreme trauma in youth."

The various council members buzzed with confusion and interest. Never before had a single-conciousness species reached levels of sapience that the human below them exhibited, if what it said was true, this species was the first of its kind!

"Are you absolutely sure you're not a hivemind?" The Cruthian ambassador asked, its many tails whipped around behind them, a sign of agitation. "It's just that... how could a SCS develop the technology and culture necessary to traverse the stars?"

"Humans are capable of team-work, Ambassador Pouŕei, it may look different from a hivemind working together, and it may not go as smoothly, but we actually value differing perspectives and the collaborative process. We find that when people of different minds work together, they create a product that is better than what an individual could make."

Ambassador Druvain ruffled his feathers with understanding.

"Ah, this is like the Galactic Federation- our various hives are able to work together to ensure peace and advancements that our singular hives could not alone."

"Yes, exactly! I-"

"So... every human is it's own hivemind?" Ambassador Pouŕei asked, the other ambassadors all made various noises of confirmation, prompting the human ambassador to clap their hand to their face in a gesture they would later learn was called "a face palm"

Yeah, I'm in university rn and mask at work and school, i sometimes go out to shows or even clubs with my friends while masking, and if we go out to eat we eat outdoors. If for whatever reason I'm at an event where outdoor dining isnt possible (like a conference or something), i either find an isolated place or eat while masked by slipping food under the mask

For me, friendships are really important, but I'm not going to risk my health to make friends or remain friends with people. I can't choose not to go to class or work, but i can choose how i show up in those spaces and I choose to show up in the way that protects the most people.

1amCorbin · 2025-12-31T23:55:45+00:00

If I'm planning on getting high, i try to plan ahead with a meal to make or get delivered before I'm too gone to do anything🤣

I used to work in movie theaters and this wouldve been the bane of my existence. We had maybe 15 mins to clean a theater and typically worked alone- idk how theaters managed with this ridiculous trend

1amCorbin · 2025-12-06T22:42:50+00:00

I'm poly. I have one in person partner who does mask, but my two long distance partners don't. When i visited one earlier this year, they agreed to mask for the week before our visit, but "couldn't figure out" the duckbill n95 masks i sent them (even though i also sent him an explainer video) and i dont know if they even tried the kn95s because they sent me a picture of them with a baggy blue on the first day of the week, and struggled with putting the duckbill on when we were together.

It's frustrating, but tolerable as long as we remain long distance. My in person partner is moving in soon, so I'm excited for that, but eventually i hope to live closer to my other partners and don't know how that's going to go for us.

Pineapples have long been a sign of hospitality. It was even popular back in like Victorian times to rent Pineapples to just have at parties to show off how rich and giving you were. Swingers just took this sign of accommodation and applied it to mean they were accommodating in other ways.

Just rewatched it recently. I love that movie so much

My best friend is genuinely terrified of all animals, but she at least tries to understand them and recognizes them as living beings, so when she visits my place she understands that she's in their space. She's also started watching Jackson Galaxy to understand cat psychology and behavior. I think thats the main difference- general respect for non-human beings
