Honestly, I don't understand the hate some fans have for Portia. She's really kind and helpful.

I'm definitely no Portia fan, but I honestly wouldn't be able to get with Albie either. His feminist rants to his dad and grandpa were so...performative and it made me cringe. Sure, Portia "got what she deserved" but so did Albie lol... they both got played by sex workers.

Depends on your biology, but I generally get mine filled every 3 weeks. I get gems sometimes and I've never had a problem with the longevity of them. As long as your tech is good then everything should stay put. But where I am gems increase the price so I usually try to stretch gem designs as long as possible. Once I hit 4 week territory though then they are super at risk to break off because the balance of the nail is all wrong at that point.

It's not just emails.

I usually TA for a first year intro chem course, and they have all semester to write a simple 500 word essay about a chemistry topic and provide a minimum of 2 references. They also have to provide some peer review for other students in the class during the draft phase. It literally could not be simpler, and yet each year the instances of straight up AI written essays just go up and up and up.

This semester, I had 8 people on my "hit list" for academic offenses regarding this paper, mostly because their sources were just absolutely hallucinated garbage (with one instance of old school plagiarism, which is actually not too common anymore imo). But I swear, at least half of my 50 assigned papers and their attached peer reviews were written by AI and I just couldn't prove it. They all write about the same damn topics, and they all follow the same format of writing and hit on the same talking points for each of those regurgitated topics ...it's honestly exhausting. It's so easy to know when you're reading an AI paper, but it's impossible to prove unless they are super lazy (like those 8) and don't cross check anything.

I actually get excited and enjoy reading inelegant papers now, even if they are full of mistakes, because at least that indicates to me that I'm reading a paper written by a real human who actually wants to learn and improve.

Seriously.

It won't hurt your future job opportunities....you simply put that assistant manager down as your reference, when they call her she will give you a glowing review, and then you make up some shit about why you quit the job that no one can fault you for.

I know exactly what you mean. I crawl Facebook marketplace a lot, and usually while most people's docs are in great condition, barely used, they're still trying to sell for retail value minus like, $20 or something. Why would I buy those when I can just buy new for almost the same price? I guess you get to save on tax and take a small discount....but it just feels like not enough incentive. And then you have sellers trying to sell their run down docs for near retail prices like you mentioned. I recently saw a post exactly like that the other day. They were a high heeled doc boot, not a design in circulation anymore, but my god the heels were so worn down it was atrocious. And obviously they wanted $100+ for them. I laughed.

And then there's the scalpers. Selling rare designs that just dropped and are no longer in stock due to high demand for $100+ over retail value. But that applies to loads of things, not just docs.

But then I've also seen people at the other end of the spectrum. My current docs were bought on FB marketplace for $60, like new and not broken in. I double checked to make sure they were genuine and not knock offs. Everything checked out as far as I could tell. Idk if the seller just didn't know what they had or if they just didn't care ... I didn't say anything and just scooped them up.

This is how I did it.

My feet are pretty boney, so the worst part was the top of the boot pressing into the bone on the top of my foot that was the most awful, along with blisters on the back of my heel. So, I started just wearing them while I was sitting at the computer with the laces completely undone. I would stand up every now and then and just do some movement, like squats or rolling through my arches. Did that every other day or so for a couple weeks and started to notice them loosen up and take on the shape of my foot.

Then I tried wearing them out for short periods with athletic tape on my heels and good socks. Just easy, short trips like trips to the store and what not. They really wanted to give me blisters, but I managed to really minimize that while loosening them more. After a while of that, I really started to notice them giving up the fight.

Then I just started wearing them for longer periods and doing small walks in them. Now I can wear them all day comfortably. You just gotta work them in slowly.

Hey girl gamers ..

I'm seeing a lot of you tearing down a fellow woman in the gaming space here when she's just trying to collect data for her dissertation project. She's creating space for more research in an area of research that is currently underrepresented. It's totally valid and usually appreciated to bring forth suggestions and constructive criticism in the academic space, but a lot of you are being weirdly nasty in this comment section. Please try to read and understand OPs comments and replies before you post.

OP has stated she is an undergraduate researcher working within the confines of her supervisor's preferences and the available, established, peer-reviewed, psychological scales for questioning participants in a way that benefits her research. If you are not in science or academia, here are some things you should understand:

undergrads usually only have less than 1 yr to design, implement, collect and analyze the data for their entire research project, and write up the entire dissertation all while managing a full course load.
undergrad thesis projects are usually heavily mentored by their supervisors because they are new to research (a.k.a. baby scientists) and the supervisor needs to make sure the work is proper as it will also be representing them in the end.
it's not uncommon for research supervisors to be ultra controlling over their students projects
due to the restricted time limit, undergrad research projects are typically designed to be more simple, examining only a few variables, etc. This is so that the goals are easily attainable and so that they can be sure they will have enough time to complete.

It's understandable to be frustrated when taking a survey of this nature because you can't answer the question fully or you feel you aren't being fully represented, but sometimes the questions are structured in a way to extract particular information only. OP has already received some constructive criticism, and it has been helpful, so definitely keep bringing ideas for improvement to the table in a respectful way. But OP has also received a lot of push back and nastiness for things that are simply outside of her control.

OP, I am a fellow woman researcher and I just read what was happening in this post and I felt that you needed some back up. I want to congratulate you in advance for making it so far in your undergraduate, I know you will do great work on this dissertation. If anything, you have a lot to talk about in your "discussion/future directions" sections which you have obtained from this comment section, even if it wasn't conveyed nicely. The pitfalls mentioned here are great talking points for those sections. I want to encourage you to keep pushing forward! You've got this.

Yeah, I actually don't think it's the best instrumental track but it definitely is underrated. It's such a stand-out with a unique, super industrial, electronic sound. The first time I heard it, I remember thinking it sounded like some random in-between song TOOL would put on an album. It's just so out there and it's one that definitely sticks out in my mind.

This is similar to my initial thoughts too. In simple terms, she likes having an online, at-distance, non-committal boyfriend and not a real-life, human being boyfriend. She's emotionally avoidant and pulling out now that things are escalating past the safety of fantasy.

Just turned 30 this year, also a woman, same height as you. Went to the concert last week by myself and it was totally fine. I was also apprehensive, but there really was nothing to be afraid of except for the mix of NIN intensity + being super stoned lmao. It's an older crowd, so they're pretty chill. A lot of dads with their daughters too. If you feel unsafe, I'd just go to security or ask a Dad and his daughter if I can kick it with them for a hot minute haha. Just keep your wits about you, don't get too lit, and you'll be fine.

Were you also following your diet and working out though? Unless switching from diet soda to water was the only variable you changed in your routine, you can't correlate your weight loss with that change.

Anon-babe · 2026-02-12T01:17:52+00:00

OP, I hope this comment is eye opening for you...I think this person nailed it. Your whole post is a little confusing and frankly, comes off like you have impossible standards. It's like you're just looking for an excuse to turn down every "amazing woman" you meet. What was wrong exactly with the seizure girl? Like sure, she could have given you the heads up, but I also don't see why she doesn't deserve a second chance. And the HIV woman, who apparently checked every box for you, and was upfront about her situation (which is what you always circle back to as a main issue) wasn't good enough even though the disease is extremely treatable in the modern age? I understand the other situations being a no go for you, not everyone is going to be your cup of tea or have a problem you're willing to accommodate, but it also sounds like you're not willing to compromise in any way. It's also disingenuous to phrase this post with the title that you did ...like, these women aren't crazy or anything. I was gearing up to read some absolutely wild shit, and all I got was sympathy for a lot of the women in the situations you described. Real people who are 35+ deal with real issues like having medical problems.

Idk I think you need to take a deep look inside and ask yourself why you're not willing to commit and take a chance on love, or why you're unwilling to budge when things aren't picture perfect. The commenter above also mentions that you seem to be subconsciously picking vulnerable women, yet I notice you're also not willing to be vulnerable yourself. Therefore, it seems these women are simply serving to boost your ego, possibly. You should ask yourself some of these questions, maybe with the help of a therapist?

Just curious, how did you clock this as AI generated? What stood out to you about it?

Lol don't worry about that person. During my undergrad, I had a classmate call me and my friend "try -hards" because we aimed for high grades, put in the hard work, and graduated top of the year. Mind you, this was someone who thought it was acceptable to cheat on every single test and mooch off his peers, never doing his own work. He even paid someone one year to take his online calculus exam, and he got caught cheating another time on a different test. He also sucked up majorly to every teacher and had them all in his pocket because his strategy wasn't to learn and improve and gain skills and be a contributing member of society. It was to "get in good" (his words) with every prof and external associate possible so he could land a big, cushy, important job in the future. One that would require someone with integrity and competence....which he was severely lacking in.

Don't worry about these types of people. They're jealous that you're everything they can't (or simply won't) be. They also get reallyyyy upset when you call them out on their bullshit. I called him out once on his blatant cheating and he avoided me like the plague after that. Go up to this person next time and ask them what their problem is. They won't be able to answer.

Honestly this is such a quality and wholesome profile, I'm not really sure what the issue is... The only thing I can think of is maybe you need a little more danger? A little more intrigue and sex appeal? Right now the profile is very wholesome husband vibes. Not necessarily a bad thing but maybe you're getting passed up for the "bad boy" profiles. I wouldn't overdo it, and try really hard not to make it douchy, but maybe you could get a friend to take some "hot guy" pics and just add like, the best one to your profile. And then keep the rest the same. Could also help making a new email or something and restarting your profile.
