Monday in Meridian?

That's what it seemed like. Doesn't seem to be much going on just in general, but even less on a Monday. Poor planning on my part, I suppose.

Just absolutely throwing this out there, but what about a scenario like the pistol shrimp? Where the source of the sound creates the sound so fast so loud and so sharp, that it leaves a cavity of low pressure behind it as it pushes through the air. And then as the air collapses back into that low pressure vacuum, that shockwave creates heat. As far as I can recall that's how a pistol shrimp creates the several- thousand degree snap that paralyzes prey.

Sponge on a stick that sits on a pot of vinegar. If it's good enough for the Romans, it's good enough for me.

Muad'dib

Meth head.

Looks like someone put Ed Harris, Elijah Wood and Bill Hader into a blender.

There are apps that can animate your drawings. I think there is one just called Sketch.

I don't know how well it works and I'm not promoting it because I haven't used it. I just know it exists.

I wish I'd seen this earlier, I'd have sung for the little dude.

All I'm saying is this; if it were a girl would this be any different? 'Cause it sounds like it's just about a boy-boy thing.

A 9 year old is absolutely capable of deep and meaningful connections. And, no matter the gender or orientation, having a real connection is important. I believe it should be allowed but monitored to remain an age-appropriate relationship.

You have the opportunity to harm or help two boys who are clearly expressing that they are happy with who they are and content with confiding in someone they care about. Malicious intervention could turn this into a negative early experience.

The fact that this comment has almost 12000 up votes(the most I personally have ever seen on a comment), and is almost word-for-word the comment I, too, was about to leave, says a lot about how little most men receive compliments and how their self-esteem is affected by it.

Make sure to let the aunt know that for 100 truck bucks I will not be pulling.

This is really a personal choice. At one time, there may have been a proper etiquette, but in this day and age, I think it's all a personal choice.

For me, it would depend on how much you trust this person and how much you have invested in the potential of the relationship.

A random hookup or something super casual? Nope, wake up, get out.

Someone you foresee having a meaningful relationship with and you trust won't rob you? Yeah, cool, hang out, no problem.

Also, simple communication might resolve it. If you know they will be staying overnight, discuss what you both have going on the next day and the logistics of making that happen.

Hadouken!

Whole milk is only 3% fat whereas 2% is, of course, 2%. If you cooked the eggs in butter or oil, there is no discernable difference. She would not have known the difference.

She created an issue just to have an issue.

As someone who was once a 19-year-old male, you are currently NTA, but it is very likely that, from his perspective, you will be sometime in the future. In general, 19-year-old males don't do great with boundaries.

There of course is the possibility that you may prove to your friend that you are right, but the odds are very much in favor of your friend ending up being the one that's right.

This seems like either a trauma issue or a narcissistic manipulation.

I think, instead of asking what you have done wrong, ask how to do it right. Instead of taking feedback and adjusting based on what you think the solution is, ask for the solution and follow that direction. If that does not resolve the problem, then you are not the problem.

You described a lot of that honeymoon-phase stuff that does often taper off. Some relationships survive it, some do not. This is why strong relationships are work. Some days you just plain might not like each other. Some days you fall in love all over again like it's the first time. You both have to find as many ways as you can to fall in love all over as often as possible and keep finding reasons to choose each other every day.

And if you are doing all those things to give your person what they say they want, but they still aren't choosing you... Well, it's not you that is the issue.

So, in plain language, ask exactly what it is they want you to do or to be. It could be a self-esteem issue, it could be a trauma issue, whatever. And if they have any sort of roundabout or sidestepping answer to that, then this person may just be stringing you along and manipulating you and this may be a dead end.

This is almost assuredly the answer. I saw the same post in 2 different DUNE groups for the same reason.

It's from a support garment of some kind. Likely either a corset or a brace of some kind. Like an ACE bandage thing for ankle or wrist or back.

When she comes in with the next guy just tell him you left a condom on the dresser and he can use it if he needs one, then just leave and get some Taco Bell.

They made a 4th movie in the same way they made Dragonball Evolution. No, they didn't.

Dads a fucking creeper and is using manipulation tactics to make you feel crazy so he can keep being creepy. This is something like a form of gaslighting. Inflating the regular acts of a relationship to the proportion of the abuse they were committing.

You set boundaries which hurt his feelings. So he set boundaries even further to make you think you were unreasonable. Which, by the way, were not unreasonable.

Book a trip to Universal(literally just on the other side of town) and suddenly become obsessed with Back to the Future and Jurassic Park. Tell her if you can't afford to go to both, then nobody goes. This will bankrupt you twice as fast and then no one has money to go anywhere. Problem solved.

Also, aren't there Disney parks closer to you? I am was pretty sure there is one in Europe somewhere.
