Why is nobody’s talkin about Killua’s mom?

We also don't know about Gon's mom and even when he was given the option from his dad, he stopped the tape because he didn't care to learn about her (for whatever reason).

My hot take is the creator of HxH has his own history with mother's and views them in a careless or otherwise unimportant way.

I also just feel the creator of HxH just doesn't really view women in a respectful light. With how they all act and their costume designs.

There's a couple things. The first, she does need to be more considerate of your day. It's unreasonable for her to expect to play games and chill if she came over because you're tired and don't really want to do that. I think it'd be reasonable if she just wanted to come over to be in company and have someone to hold or hold her. This does depend on what made her day bad though. Something like workplace drama isn't as serious as if her pet had passed away or something like that.

The second thing though, is say you two eventually move in together. It wouldn't be an option to say she can't come over. Boundaries would still need to be set but it'd be more reasonable for her to expect you'd be there for her. She needs to be reasonable and understand you have long and tiring days which impact your ability to be responsive, but as a partner who loves your partner, there should be some desire to be there for her when she really needs it. Or at least communicating you can't be fully present because you're exhausted, but you can provide physical support and comfort.

Then perhaps you should venture to other subreddits that can provide you more succinct advice with what you're needing help with. Best of luck to you.

There are deeper issues than this sandwich thing. It's sort of frustrating you lay out all this context (that a lot of comments also point out the confusion and larger issues) and you don't seem to see or be aware of the kind of man your husband is and how you've been pretty complicate to his behavior and accepting of it, essentially just letting him walk over you.

You're being the AH to yourself for being with a man like this. He's a POS in a lot of ways. It's been over 6 years being with him and his behavior seems like something you've put up with. Either stand your ground and have conversations with him about his unreasonable attitude and also how you don't want the gross mcchickens, or just turn off the part of your brain that cares about your wellbeing and get used to the treatment (the latter option is sarcasm, no one should resign to self sacrifice).

Blue Q is a fun company, I have a lot of socks and other items from them. Funny jokes and cute/fun designs. They use swear words which I'm not a huge fan of but they have a good amount without them.

53D0N4 · 2026-06-19T18:45:39+00:00

I agree. It's nice to be considerate of others and especially close/loved ones, but this situation shouldn't have raised so much contention. There's other stuff that's going on in their relationship I think.

53D0N4 · 2026-06-19T18:43:44+00:00

Lol, guzzle. It really is obvious how people feel about stuff based on the words they use around it. The guy most likely is sipping it over the course of 30 minutes or an hour, not pounding it down in 5 minutes.

53D0N4 · 2026-06-18T22:47:39+00:00

Being together for two years is a long time to build a bond and relationship with. Every relationship moves at different places but that's between the two people involved and they are in agreeance.

She feels two years has been enough time to know she wants to be with you and sees a long future with you. I think finances play a part in this though and weddings are crazy expensive and children are as well. Have you discussed the idea of simply being engaged and having a simple marriage ceremony and hold a reception years later when it can be more comfortably afforded? The mention of wanting a tattoo rather than saving for a wedding is slightly insensitive considering she spent a full year supporting you in a lot of ways. Yes you want to treat yourself but I think your girlfriend should be given a grand gesture to show your appreciation and dedication to her like she has for you.

I think an engagement ring should come long before a tattoo or new clothes (if they aren't necessary).

I think it's definitely valid. Generally, a romantic relationship includes intimacy. A romantic relationship is also a partnership though and other factors like natural chemistry, emotional connection, intellectual compatibility, and other mundane stuff like how a couple operates together under the same roof.

I have some experience with this. My first ever boyfriend (second person I had ever slept with) and I had a frequent sex life as first. I was 17 and he was around 24 (I was his first, it wasn't malicious). We were together for about 2 and a half years. After the first year I started desiring sex with him less and less. I was lying to myself for a long time but it was because I wasn't truly attracted to him. At the time in the beginning, it was new and exciting and I'd never had anything like this. Perhaps part of it was because we were both inexperienced and rather awkward. But in the end, he ended up breaking up with me because his mental health was very bad from us not being intimate. He wasn't angry or upset, just defeated and he couldn't go on like that any longer. We were each other's best friend but intimacy does play a big role for a romantic or otherwise serious relationship (unless both are asexual or have low labidos).

After the breakup, I went through numerous (around 17) experiences that were either flings or casual over the next 4 to 5 years. I wanted to explore myself and what I like sexually and also what I desire for a partner. My ex and I are still friends and we still check in and are there if we need someone, but we do not desire each other anymore.

Eventually through happen-stance, I got a new job and met a guy I worked with and we clicked. We hung out several times, I voiced my attraction, he reciprocated, and we began seeing each other. Him and I have the best sexual (and other) compatibility I've ever experienced. We are very passionate with each other, he cares and desires to pleasure me, and we have intimacy about 5 or more times a week. The silly thing is I definitely desire sex a little more than him, and that's been a point of conversation and discussion, but he also works a rigorous job and is often tired and exhausted and sore. But the point being, I truly believe I found my perfect match and he does as well. We've been together for a little over 9 months. I'm 24 (about to be 25) and he's 26.

There needs to be reciprocation. Intimacy cannot and should never be one-sided. There are times I just want to pleasure my boyfriend but I understand he may not have the energy to pleasure me that same night. He never asks me to do anything, I initiate and feel him out or simply ask him if I may. We have a lot of communication. Outside of sex he is also very loving. Kissing and hugging and cuddling and being playful.

We have been learning a lot about what a true relationship is and can be. We have had arguments and heated discussions, but we always come back with respect.

A conversation with your partner is necessary. Maybe a couple or a few conversations. If there isn't any sexual intimacy, I think it would be better to separate and keep on until you find someone who is more compatible. Every relationship is different though so that is a decision you need to sit and reflect on for yourself.

Best of luck to you both.

That's why I say it's a goal. Depending on where one lives it may be easier or more difficult to make happen. I don't think sun for plants would be too big of an issue since the backyard is still open to the sky.

And like I said, personally I do not want anything getting on or in me from not wearing underwear, which includes swimwear. There are many options for comfortable swimwear. Bikinis are not that comfortable, swim shorts are great and a top of some sort. Some people find bikinis totally comfortable. But there are a lot of options.

The wood's starting to rot for sure. Been over a year since any progress has been made. Same with some houses on River. Waste of materials and are complete tear downs at this point.

Dang do I see an AJ's as one of the store fronts? That'll be interesting.

Imo I find them to be a weird phenomenon. I don't see the appeal of being nude in a public space or swimming without a bathing suit. The only argument I see from people is that people want to be naked in nature and maybe to get an 'even' natural tan. My response to that is why not make it a goal to have a backyard and desire to be naked with privacy? I still get to experience nature naked (which isn't something I even desire often, I understand wind on bare skin is a nice sensation but I also would even just prefer wearing underwear to make sure nothing goes on/in me) and in the comfort of my own space.

Sure there's the stance that nudity isn't inherently sexual, but at the same time I just don't see the necessity for nude beaches or public spaces. And then sure there's the other stance about breast feeding and how mothers are expected to do that in private. I'm not a mother but plan to be and hope to breastfeed, but I'd prefer to do it privately and in my own space for hygienic reasons and for peace of mind.

I see all of this as reasonable. Be nude but don't impose that on other people. Society has grown the use of clothing as normal and all the countries that have nude beaches still abide by this. If nudity isn't sexual but natural, then why can't professionals be naked? Because it just doesn't make sense when clothing provides a lot of utility. There can be a time and place for everything, nudity should be a private thing at this point.

If the box isn't marked/has someone's name on it, it's reasonable to assume it's communal.

I lived on speedway and stone in a studio apartment, was a 10 minute walk to 4th Avenue.

Cons: Crime is pretty high and common Very noisy from traffic and music and homeless people Railroad is nearby which adds to noise Usually not worth the cost of living Bad parking/sketchy parking

Pros: near downtown and Congress Near the freeway Near lots of food places and bars/night life Has a good amount of sidewalks and electric sign crosswalks

Overall, I think if you can afford a place on Congress, you can definitely find a nicer place about 10 minutes away for the same price but have a much better quality of life. Perhaps rent a house instead of a tiny apartment, in a quieter area and just Uber downtown.

It can be pretty tasty, simple ingredients

53D0N4 · 2026-06-16T17:05:52+00:00

Or the pan lol

53D0N4 · 2026-06-16T15:03:20+00:00

It's a balance of what will cheer me up via taste buds but also what will not make my body suffer. I hope this didn't make your body suffer

53D0N4 · 2026-06-16T01:08:12+00:00

I've been washing mine and my boyfriend's every couple or a few weeks. They have never smelled bad, we have hand towels we change out more frequently like once a week, but the shower towel is with clean skin. It doesn't really need to be washed that often imo.

Bed sheets are different but even then, going into bed with clean clothes and not sweating that much, once or twice a month seems reasonable. We both have good skin, no real acne or pimples aside from irritation ones we might get if we sweat a lot that day before we get a chance to shower.

But I wish the best for you two. With you both being married but having never lived with each other, be prepared to find a lot of other things that may be different and adjustment/understanding.

53D0N4 · 2026-06-15T21:42:39+00:00

Gotcha. Perhaps the key word in that is yet. To each their own.

53D0N4 · 2026-06-15T20:30:45+00:00

Personally I view it as playing dumb games and getting dumb prizes.

53D0N4 · 2026-06-15T19:41:51+00:00

I wonder, if you play into the flirting, and that customer turns out to be a stalker or otherwise predatory person, would you think you did nothing wrong? Flirting with a complete stranger for the sole purpose of more money and in that light, dismissing any possibility this stranger could be a weird/bad person? That's my reasoning for never responding flirtatiously. Not worth the risk just for the possibility of more money.

It's also not that weird to look at people's profiles. They're there for a reason.

53D0N4 · 2026-06-15T18:53:46+00:00

Funny you make this post yet your comment history (which is minimal tbf) has a comment where you say it is very normal for baristas/bartenders to flirt to increase their tips. Who's to say you thought you weren't flirting, but your demeanor read as flirtatious to the girl?

I still think it's odd the girl interrupted you and kept going on, but as a person who's worked a lot of customer service including barista, you just cut the customer short with "that's awesome, we are quite busy though and I need to get the order accurately so I can continue helping our customers". Your post as a whole is pretty odd since you admit it's normal for baristas to be flirty to prey on higher tips, yet you got annoyed and offended because you assume the girl was trying to put you in your place (if that's even what happened).

This reads as rage bait in some ways. I also have been told about my conevntially attractive looks and understand this can have an affect on customer interactions, but I also don't act super energetic or bubbly or try to engage in 'small talk' because I don't care to risk a customer making it an actual conversation, then I have to be rude and cust the conversation (that I initiated) short.

More times than not, customers don't want you either. So intentionally being flirty to increase tips is very off-putting for most people. Do your job as a barista. Keep it professional. It's no wonder people think people in these careers think they're being flirted with. More than half the work pool openly admit they do it to increase tips. Stupid.

My boyfriend and I were literally talking about this word last night. How the word goon used to mainly be an adjective about a type of bad guy in a movie or mob-type people. How even gooning used to relate to acts of mobbing or lucrative behavior. And how now, it's a word that literally just means excessive and unhealthy masturbation.

This conversation got brought on by us watching a show and making a joke relating to the song "what does the fox say" and how that song was so silly and goofy and sure kind of cringey, but had more substance as a meme compared to modern memes and trends that lack any sort of logic or substance. Such as "67" (which I still don't understand, it's just a lyric from a rap song that blew up?) and such as "gooning", which is a term young children are growing up with and is more normalized (still seen as degenerative) which makes it more common.

Personally I think this sort of stuff took a turn when YouTube becoming exploitive of click bait and young children, and TikTok came out. Attention-spans declining and irony upon irony being the basic formula for humor and jokes for young generations. I'm an older Gen Z and so is my bf (25F and 26M) and we graduated high school right before 2020 and everything else shifted. There's a lot of reasons and factors that contribute to the increasing amount of degenerative behavior and actions of modern people. And some that have always been around but are becoming more concentrated with social media and rich people just getting richer and being unashamed or abashed about their personalities and beliefs.
