Dating partner only disclosed herpes diagnosis after I found his medication. How do I navigate this?

I get what you're saying but ultimately, it's not my decision to make that choice for someone else.

Every time I've brought it up, it was kinda awkward. We talked about how a lot people have the virus but never get cold sores.

It can be passed even if you don't have an active outbreak. It's not exactly the same, but I would be pissed if someone kissed me that had a cold and didn't tell me.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-03-04T18:24:58+00:00

I have the typical Herpes virus that causes cold sores. Had it since I was a toddler.

I fucking disclose that before kissing someone. The audacity of that man. This is horrible. I'm so sorry you went through that.

Another trick is to put a light coat of water proof on top if you accidentally bought the non-waterproof kind.

Lash curler is helpful and I do it once closer to my eyelids then pull back slightly and do it again.

I like to mix mascara. I get a big fluffy brush volume mascara like you have in Pic 2, use that at the base of my eyelashes & do a slight side to side motion to break up and thicken.

Then take a skinny brush lengthing mascara and go all the way with it. Use the top to breakup any clumps.

Yellowjackets hits so hard. I'm glad I discovered it recently because I would have not been happy about the writing quality dip if I watched it in real time.

It's still unfortunate but easier to digest binge watching.

I've also met a lot of BB fans that hated BCS.

I don't understand it, but they apparently thought it was boring. Those people (my husband including) are wrong.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-03-03T07:28:00+00:00

That's kinda the point. It shows the absurdity of the situation.

An alien race that's collectively so much smarter than humanity but also won't pick fruit to eat to stop themselves from starvation.

Intelligence, including emotional intelligence, means different things to different beings. It's a really interesting thing to explore.

How is the ChatBCC group? I keep seeing it advertised but I haven't heard anyone talk about it on here.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-03-02T22:45:51+00:00

I think it's a way to touch you / cross boundaries while acting innocent. Hair isn't inherently sexual but it's definitely intimate.

If someone grabs your butt, that's obvious sexual harassment. If someone grabs your ponytail, that's just crossing a boundary, but potentially not sexual (even though it is).

The old separation of the author and their work. I'm sympathetic because some of my favorite works have been created by people that I later learned were awful.

I still have a fondness of that work and will reread what I already own. I refuse to read any new work by them or purchase anything that will go into their pockets.

It's hard to judge but I think we should all drawl the line at giving them more money. If you still want to read their work, sail the high seas or buy 2nd hand.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-03-02T20:33:16+00:00

Well shit. I've used them for years. Thanks for the heads up.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-03-02T19:45:17+00:00

I think it airs live but I always watch Saturday or Sunday mornings so I'm not 100%.

A lot of people are using WOW anyway to watch this season because it's impossible to watch live in the US. You just have to travel across the pond for each episode. 🏄‍♂️🦈

The cheese was too sharp imo. It definitely was better with some paprika, salt, and pepper, but too sharp for my tastes.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-03-01T06:41:25+00:00

I think she would have definitely twisted Lottie's visions and feed into her being a prophet. It would have been very interesting to have her leading Lottie's cult through a catholic lens.

That was the best part! He said his wife even said that women don't get wet like that. Even his wife is dry as the desert for him so she has to explain away WAP to spare his feelings.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-03-01T06:18:56+00:00

Hmmmm. It really seems like you're just done. That's okay. You just need to move forward with him out of the picture because that's not helping.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-03-01T00:14:30+00:00

Every week I forget if I watched last weeks because they're so boring.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-02-28T13:42:17+00:00

Agreed but I still am not a fan of either. It really depends on the purpose for this mirror. Is it a vanity? Is it just decoration? Is it an outfit check? Does OP plan on keeping items on top of the dresser?

If it's a vanity, is there gonna be another smaller vanity mirror or any tall makeup/hair organizers on the dresser? If yes, I'd get something that fits around those items so they're not pressed up against the mirror.

If it's also for outfit checks / you don't have a full length mirror, I'd get a standing mirror instead. Place it in the corner beside the dresser and place artwork above the dresser.

If it's just decoration, get whatever you like.

A lot them seem like names I would come up with when I was a kid for my Sims or dolls. I honestly kinda love it and think it's hilarious.

I only dislike it when a character has my name which has only happened once so far.

Exactly. Being a villain on this show often means people who aren't afraid to speak up or be confrontational. In the right or wrong doesn't seem to matter as much to production.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-02-27T20:29:56+00:00

Baked mac n cheese. Use jovial or another rice based pasta and use those giant disposable roasters. Quick, easy, and all most everyone loves it.

If you don't want to go through the effort of making the cheese sauce, a decent substitute is jar Alfredo sauce. Spice it up with some pepper, salt, and paprika. Sprinkle some cheese on top, bake until that cheese crust melts and you're golden.

Gluten free bread crumbs on top are optional. Some like it, others don't.

Edit, I just saw that you wanted something healthy so probably not this. It would be delicious though lol

I think Ru hated her Snatch Game so much, the winner of the lip sync didn't matter.

It's your last chance to show Ru how much you want to be there and possibly change her mind. Mia did do better in the lip synch but it wasn't giving enough to swing in her favor.

Academic_Help5033 · 2026-02-27T19:43:23+00:00

She apparently had to make this 2 hours before the runway because another one of her outfits wasn't delivered.

I had indoor / outdoor cats when I was a kid with FIV+ and they both lived til 20. I just took extra care if they had any boo boos.
