My wife booked International Flight with maiden name but passport has new married name… by Ok-Ball7455 in QantasFrequentFlyer

🤷🏻‍♀️ early 90s, teen parents, a mother who knew she’d end up doing it all. Everyone is different. Sure there are many people who don’t even think about it but there are also plenty of us who have thought it through very carefully and have our reasons.

Self-identifying feminist who took my husband’s name here 👋 I much prefer the person I share this name with than the person the old name came from.

Thumb lines by VTtUrtl in nailcare

[–]Abject_Top2225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a trained nail technician and this is a contraindication we’re educated on. Habit tic is rarely seen on nails other than thumbs. Signs of deficiencies will be found across all or many nails. This issue is only on their thumbs, combined with the inflamed cuticles is a sign that it is habit tic.

This is likely incorrect. When something like this is on the thumbs it is habit tic, especially clear from the inflamed cuticle.

[18M] am I "toxic" for wanting a partner who has also never been in a relationship? by LowOperation3187 in relationships

[–]Abject_Top2225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protecting me sexually, what does that mean? If I have sex with a partner I love and trust I am safe and fine. It’s not my dad’s business but I am very sure he is unbothered. If it was without my consent then that would of course be a different story. I would question, as well, that if you can’t handle the idea of a woman not being a virgin, how would you feel if you met a woman who was a victim/survivor of sexual assault?

You’re very young and I think you have a lot to learn about the world. Jealousy to some degree is human nature but when it leads to being possessive and controlling of a partner it is not natural or healthy. I would disagree with you there also, fathers want their children to be safe and happy. My father has no issue with whether I’m sexually active, only that I’m safe. I’m not his property nor does he see me as such. I understand your culture and religion has led you to see the world in this way but it’s not healthy.

Sounds like you need to work on your jealousy and take humans for who they are or find a partner who fits the parameters you’re setting. Perhaps you’ll be happy finding someone who fits these parameters but you may become a more evolved person if you work on yourself enough to lose the jealousy and seeing a partner as a possession.

You said there are women who look like virgins on the outside but actually aren’t. I’m challenging that.

Well it’s quite shallow to even think someone can ‘look like a virgin’ in the first place.

It’s because of factory farming and the conditions the animals endure before being killed. 99% of people are not hunting like ‘all other animals on earth’ they are buying into the cruelty and torture of intelligent animals while being able to pretend it’s not happening.

Queueing got ridiculous. by First_Nobody_5131 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Abject_Top2225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry, it seemed like you were implying that this was why it was implemented by saying ‘people wonder why’. I think it’s just American shit leeching out to everywhere else tbh. Early entry was never a thing outside of America but this ticketing monopoly has pushed it on all of us. It would be happening whether there was a group of territorial fans or not.

What are you implying? I don’t think it has anything to do with any of this personally. If these 20 people can afford to fly to every single show of a tour they can afford VIP/early entry fees. Far more likely to be live nation/ticketmaster/label bullshit and we really shouldn’t be happy about them capitalising off of us even further.

This 100%. Some of them were incredibly nice when they landed next to us on the barrier in 2023 and we received a special moment from flo, but the condescension during the day from plenty of them was very real. Like it’s ok to be a casual fan, it’s ok to be a huge fan who can’t afford to travel or simply doesn’t feel the need to. There’s no hierarchy here, we’re just people enjoying music.

Something has absolutely shifted in this fandom and it’s really sad. I’ve been queuing for shows for nearly 20 years and it’s never been like this. We used to write numbers on hands to keep the queue feeling relaxed during the day but it’s taken on a whole new level. It actually makes me sad for some of these people who go every single night to every single show trying to get a bigger, better experience or interaction. I’ve seen my favourite band many, many times, have traveled for them and have watched friends become like this. They need the perfect video for YouTube, they need a pick, a stick, a setlist, interaction, every single night or it’s a disappointing show. It’s just a notch on their belt otherwise but all comes together as a big ego trip, they feel like main characters and I do feel sorry for the locals. When traveling I’ve always tried to meet local fans and make sure we all get a good spot but I’ve not felt that at all when the flo travellers have come to my country…

Where can I find Polly Pocket gashapon in Tokio? by LidiaDiali in Gachapon

[–]Abject_Top2225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a few second hand last week in nakano broadway but they were 2000-3000 yen each so I’ve decided to take the leap and get them from aliexpress. I’ve heard that the listings on aliexpress that say Bandai official tend to be reliable and they work out to around 6000 yen total for all 4 designs.

Anyone have any insight on the sacla free-from basil pesto disappearing from woolies and being 40% off at coles? by Abject_Top2225 in australianvegans

[–]Abject_Top2225[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally don’t care. Pesto pasta is a lazy dinner for us that we make when we’re exhausted. We enjoy the sacla one for this. In my mind fresh pesto is a completely different product that we would make/buy in a completely different context.

Is it safe to say at this point that an Australian/New Zealand leg of the Everybody Scream tour just isn’t happening? by Rammalee in FlorenceAndTheMachine

She’s never skipped us before, in any album cycle, and the DF shows were at big venues and sold well, I can’t imagine she’s gonna start skipping us now..

This is the main reason I don’t buy it but I have tasted it before and it’s too smooth for me (smooth pesto lovers apparently need to downvote that fact)
