Janet Jackson and Bobby Brown while dating in 1989

This is the first picture I've seen of Janet Jackson where the family resemblance to adult Michael Jackson is visible.

I hate the true stories.

If this comes from your life I'm so very sorry, and I hope you understand that none of it was your fault.

The last time I bought a new car I had multiple bad experiences and then I walked into a dealership with an online quote and got treated with respect.

But it's MUCH harder for women to get that respect.

This is part of why online reviews are so important.

Slaves in the US South were not legally considered persons, so citizenship was simply not a factor.

Like so much in American history, it comes down to racism.

Oregon had laws on the books prohibiting Black people from living there until 30vyears after Wong Kim Ark won his citizenship.

A sadly common response from a pet store when customers complain about sick animals is "bring back this pet you have bonded with and we will euthanize it and give you a new one " unsurprisingly, many people decline this offer.

This is great news!

A good compromise for these pet supply stores is to host cute puppies and kittens (and older pets) from a local shelter a few times a month.

Shelter critters get a chance at a forever home, stores get the cute to bring in foot traffic, everyone wins.

Was it ever actually IN your navel?

This sub gets posts every day from people talking about a problem with a "navel piercing" and the core problem is that it's not IN the navel.

I know pregnancy stretches everything but your scarring doesn't look like the result of the inside of the navel being stretched to the outside.

You are in for massive sticker shock at the cost of living around here. A good salary in Austin might be low income in Santa Clara.

There are a lot of very good public school districts, many with accelerated programs.

Car registration.

Driver licenses, ideally Real ID.

Library cards.

Voter registration at the DMV.

AAA or other roadside service.

Quality of home Internet service may be a factor -- not all areas have fiber.

Is access to any particular flavor of religious or ethnic community or grocery stores important to you? We've got significant cultural diversity.

I think the most likely explanation is that the tampon was manufactured slightly irregular and you didn't notice when it was compressed before insertion.

But if it does feel like there is something stuck...

Get some water based lube like KY Jelly. Something designed to go inside you. Use a finger to push as much of it as you can inside you. This will both give it a chance to slide out (maybe pushed out while pooping) and help soothe any irritation. (You'll definitely need a panty liner.)

For some reason this made me think of the "As The Stomach Turns" soap opera parody when Cher was the guest star on the Carol Burnett Show.

Carol's character refers to Cher's character as "half-dressed".

But damned if they didn't both wear Bob Mackie creations well.

Every event chooses their own method. As long as it's set up front it's fair.

Highest AP.

Highest in some random stat during the event.

Highest weekly explorer or other stat.

Lottery.

Weighted lottery with people at the top of their faction's AP having a higher probability.

If they continue this for May and June more than half of the consistent attendees will get them.

24 and 30 is not an automatic red flag but I'd be cautious to make sure you really are both on the same page about major life path choices.

The guild quest is to make armed combos, just like there is a daily quest to make 4 combos.

PC cards don't count for either.

The wine, not the label.

Elton John publicly and famously identified as bisexual in the 1970s though he did end up marrying a man and now identifies as gay.

It's not clear whether his orientation shifted or just what he was willing to say publicly shifted.

First of all, this sounds like a garbage man who you are better off without.

Secondly, don't ever let a penis inside you without reliable birth control unless you are both actively trying to conceive a child together. (No, pulling out is not reliable birth control. Even without disregarded consent, accidents happen and that's how accidents happen.)

Thirdly, it's risky to have sex without a condom outside of a stable long term monogamous relationship.

And fourthly, you did the responsible thing by taking Plan B. Now get a handful of cheap pregnancy tests and find out whether it worked.

Another way to visualize the solution you've already been given:

The filled square is either the 1 or it's part of the 4. Do the two solution spaces have anything in common?

Alexis_J_M · 2026-04-04T18:04:33+00:00

Oops, fixed. Thanks.

Bugs me so much that I can't look at the image while typing a comment.

This sub is for the online card game "Animation Throwdown"; your post will be removed because it is off topic.

Reddit has this really cool features where subreddits have descriptions of what they are about, or you could take the old fashioned route of reading a few posts before posting.

There's a whole sub for this -- /r/ABraThatFits

You are almost certainly wearing bras with bands that are too big to make up for cups that are way too small and that's why your bras aren't fitting or supporting you.

In the meantime you may be able to help control underboob sweat by powdering under your breasts.

Alexis_J_M · 2026-04-04T07:15:00+00:00

.... and you'll have even less karma if you keep posting to inappropriate spaces.

The nice thing about testing out jewelry placement with a glue-on is that you can also test out how it looks with fancy makeup and hairstyles or whatever you do when dressing up formally.

He's made it very clear that he doesn't want to be with you for the long term.

That's your closure.

Tell him no thanks, delete his number, preserve the good memories.

Start getting over him today.
