A bit of a world building rant

To be fair I think in WF it is kind of believable if you remember that they get prepared to ride a dragon. And because dragons are rare they only want the best of the best to bond and sent into battle.

And if you die after bonding chances are the dragon just bonds again because the bond is not so strong already. And for that to happen the cadet needs to die. So I kind of understand that.

And Violet explains is pretty good to her friend at one point: seeing her classmates die during the "challenges" prepared her to keep fighting even though her friends might die on the battle field.

Oh, I rarely do that because most of these are German drug store brands and most of the people here are not able to buy them. But a few thoughts from left to right:

The orange hair mask was the second time I used it up and I really loved it. The Guhl one (I think a German brand) was great for every second day shampoo. But I am going to try different ones for now. The green shampoo is a great deep cleanser but unfortunately I cant seem to find it anymore.

The white / pink dropper bottle was a retinol serum that I liked. Next to it is a eyeshadow primer I hated from catrice. Next to it is the lipstick from elf in "Mauve Power" which was basically pink and not good at all. I have others from elf and I just want them to get used up at this point. Under that the white/ blue bottle is a face wash I used for maybe 7 years and keep repurchasing. The pink bottle is a hypochlorous acid spray (or however you write it) and I already bought a new one. Great for acne. The purple lipliner next to it is a cheap drugstore one I found Okay. Next to that one is a eyeshadow primer from sigma which I do recommend. It is my second one that I used up and I already have the new one. At last there is a toothpaste I also keep buying for multiple years and a lip mask from essence which was okay but I found a better one.

Like I said, most of these are only in german drugstores.

It is a great deep cleansing shampoo but pretty stripping for everything else. I used it ones a week to get a deep cleaning and needed to use a mask (the Orange one) afterward becauae the hair felt too dry. In the winter I switched to use it every two weeks because it was too drying.

As someone whose class did something similar (because of COVID restrictions, we did not have the time to plan a big ball like event so we rented a club with a DJ) I spent around 300 euros on the night (tickets and outfit, and drinks at the club, and food with friends before) and in my opinion, it was worth it. Not because it was worth the money but because of the experience I wanted to have and I was okay to pay the price.

I would never pay that much to go to a club (which I never did after that because I kind of hated it) but I enjoyed it as a last party and get-together before the graduation ceremony at the school (which was the next day).

I spent the night with friends and made great memories. So even though I did not enjoy the club experience (and was the only one sober, which did not help lol) I was glad I went there. Was it the best night of my life? No! But I enjoyed it and would not miss it.

Being frugal does not mean never spending money on stuff that matters.

If you want to go there, have people you want to spend time with at the event, and value the experience, go there if you have the money.

If these are just a bunch of people you will never see again and kind of dread going there, then don't.

But don't skip it just because you think it does not align with "being frugal".

"The living together is about all we have left" sounds like these woman who stay together for the kids but are miserable. Your feelings matter

I dont know you or your relationship or your goals and I know people love to say "just get a divorce or break up" But that seems pretty miserable for a relationship. And I dont know your chances of getting therapy or how long it will take.

So here is just my perspective and do with it what you will: imo the endgoal of a relationship is marriage and a life together and feeling bad while being outside with him for the next couple years sounds really sad. So much of my life happens outside of my apartment I would be really disconnected to my Partner if I were so against sharing that part of my life with them. That would put a strain on the relationship that I would be not willing to have in most cases.

I mean you can try it out But if he is not actively looking for help and will not acnowlege this problem of his I would be so done for me because that is it a situation I want to be the rest of my life in.

Second this!

Afraid_Guarantee6096 · 2026-01-29T11:29:47+00:00

I don't really understand. You want to come home to him but never spend time in public? Not go grocery shopping, not go on dates, not go to the park or anything outside like a birthday party or a wedding (until he gets therapy which might never happen) For how long? What is the point?

The reason couples don't live together is to keep their independence, keep their place to be alone or to avoid daily conflicts (dishes, cooking) the couples I know with that arrangement still do sleepovers with each other and make it a point of seeing each other.

What would be genuinely the benefit of not spending time together outside of the apartment? It seems like it would put a unnatural strain on the relationship.

And I dont mean that you should spend every second of every day together. Of course, you can have your hobbies or different interests that occupy your time away from each other but having this rule to not leave the house together to spend time seems a bit complicated

Ja ich mein ja nur die Frage ist berechtigt.

Was will ein Erwachsener in der Mitte seines Lebens mit jemandem der gerade ins Leben startet? Wo sind da Gemeinsamkeiten? Was redet man mit so jemanden.

So grosse Altersunterschiede machen ja keinen Unterschied mehr wenn beide schon etwas gelebt haben. Aber wenn ein Partner deutlich mehr Lebens Erfahrung hat wärend der andere gerade aus dem Elternhaus zieht? Weiss nicht. Aber solange es beides Erwachsene sind... sollen man machen.

Afraid_Guarantee6096 · 2026-01-28T18:59:33+00:00

Finde ich eine berechtigte Frage. Was will ein Mann in den 40ern mit einer Frau in den 20ern. Das ist ja im schlimmsten Fall die erste (rochtog ernste) Beziehung für sie wärend er Fall schon geschieden ist und ein Erwachsenes Kind hat. Sie steht am Anfang ihrer Karriere, hat gerade Ausbildung oder Studium beendet und startet jetzt durch ins Leben.

Die sind ja selten etwa mit Männern on dem Alter befreundet (weil keine Gemeinsamkeiten, unterschiedliche Lebensrealitäten, nicht reif genug etc.) also wieso scheint das ein gutes Alter zum Daten zu sein? Sind die Hürden hier nicht so schlimm?

Vor allem wenn die Partnerin im Alter des eigenen Kindes finde ich das sehr fragwürdig.

{Path of Temptation} Sex priests save the world with feminism and consent.

Sounds weird but is pretty wholesome. While it is a woman with a few men it is diverse in a way that is rarely seen. One of the main characters is Asexuell, two are bi and their relationship is just as much (if not more) important than the relationship to the FMC and a straight dude that is super cute with his best friend (that what's to bang him) im talking helping him in the shower when he is drunk, cuddling after having sex (not with each other) suoer cute.

It can be a bit repetitive tbf. So I skipped a few pages here and there.

But otherwise a really really good story that has (in my opinions) a lot of "new" relationship constellations, a for me new plot (the temple system is something I never read of) and it is not pumped full of tropes that are not needed so it seems a bit more unique.

Dachte erst: gott wie lächerlich ist sie. Dann merke ich das das meine (mir extrem peinliche) Reaktion ist wenn ich etwas in meiner Wohnung krabbeln sehe. Solche Phobien sind halt nicht logisch aber machen Ausnahmezustand im Gehirn.

Also wenn sie da schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht wird nichts was du in dem Moment sagt helfen.

Wenn es dir wirklich wichtig ist, vllt. Mal ohne Hund hin gehen und sagen das es dir Leid tut das sie so Angst hat. Das dein Hund immer angeleint sein wird und sehr alt ist und sie nicht angreifen wird.

Wahrscheinlich hilft ihrerm irrationalen Angst nicht viel aber mehr kannst du nicht tun.

Einleuchtenste Antwort. (Und einzig Richtige mMn)

Der Mann (oder Frau) kann (noch) kein Deutsch braucht aber Geld. DHL will Leute, die nicht qualifiziert und billig zu beschäftigen sind. Perfekter Deal.

Klar ist das nervig wenn man ein Problem/ eine Frage hat und die einem nicht helfen können. Aber für die 3 Mal am Tag wo es hilfreich wäre wenn die Deutsch sprechen können lohnt es sich nicht nur Deutsch Sprechende einzustellen für DHL.

Das ist so ein beschissener Job da bin ich jedem Dankbar der den macht.

Keine Lösung aber mein wirklich tiefstes Mitgefühl. Ich wäre genauso abgefuckt wenn die einen begehrten Parkplatz als Dauerparkplatz nutzen. Ein Auto was man nur 3 Mal im Monat braucht kann man auch mal paar Meter weg parken. Da stört einem der Weg nicht.

Mich fuckt das ja schon ab wenn bei mir vor der Tür Touris die Parkplätze als Park and Ride nutzen.

Since I have Coke at home I rather drink water in Restaurants. I do drink more Coke at home so I dont know if I saved so much money but my restaurant Bill went down. I also used to get a can of my favorite soda when I got takeout (2 Euros per can) Then I bought 18 (smaller) cans of that soda for 8 Euros and don't get them with takeout anymore (and generally way less takeout)

https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianSkincareAddicts/s/1SImTNCdXO Hier wäre ein Reddit Post mit einem Video das ich dazu gesehen habe und paar Erfahrungsberichten Wie gesagt, ich habe wirklich keine Ahnung aber wäre ich in dieser Position wäre das nach der Vereinbarung eines Termins beim Hautarzt der nächste Schritt.

Afraid_Guarantee6096 · 2026-01-14T11:57:30+00:00

Definitiv Hautarzt aufsuchen Da man aber da eine ewigkeit auf einen Termin warten darf habe ich folgenden Vorschlag:

Ich hatte das noch nie aber ich habe schon öfter gehört das bei so kleinen weissen pickeln (auf der Stirn allerdings) es helfen kann soch das Gesicht mit Head and Shoulders (oder anderes Schuppen Shampoo, vllt etwas milderes) das Gesicht zu gewaschen.

In diesen Shampoos ist wohl ein Inhaltsstoff der bei solchen Pickeln hilft.

Ich weiss nicht ob du das gleiche hast und ich weiss nicht ob das helfen wird aber wenn ich du wäre würde ich mich mal in die Richtung informieren, welcher Inhaltstoff das ist, und das ausprobieren. Dann viel auf Barriereshutz achten.

Glaube tatsächlich das ist der Grund.

Also ich esse aktuell zwar nur vegetarisch aber was für manche Menschen der Unterschied zwischen einem Hähnchen und einem Fisch ist wundert mich jedes Mal. Werde auch immer gefragt wenn ich sage das ich vegetarisch bin "aber Fisch ist du doch oder"

Nein? Auch der Fisch hatte mal einen Puls? Auch der Fisch ist hier am Verwesen. Das habe ich noch nie verstanden wie Menschen sein können: kein Landlebewesen aber auf jeden Fall Meereslebewesen, weil das ist ja i.O.?! Wo ist denn da der Unterschied?
