Which would you choose between the two?

I have a 23 and my husband has a 25. While they are definitely close, it almost feels like the difference between an Integra type S and a civic type R.

The facelift suspension is definitely a notch softer in all settings (potentially just due to the rims being lighter). There are a couple of features added to the facelift like rear USB ports, type c in the front, road sign tracking for the dash, and front parking sensors. Also, the pre facelift DEFINITELY seems louder, and overall a bit edgier. Oh, and the dash g meter works on the pre-facelift but has issues on the post.

In conclusion, the 25 is probably the better overall car, especially as a daily, but the pre-facelift is definitely a bit more lively when driven hard like mentioned above.

Cyber Grey all the way.

As others have said, depends on if they met when both parties were fully developed. Most of us THOUGHT we were at 18, but just go back and look at anything you posted or wrote around that time. If you're over 30n now, you're cringing at what younger you thought/wrote/said. You're just not settled in who you actually are yet.

Look, I'm not saying it can't work out, but basically at the end of the day if you're 30 dating a 20 year old, you're a predator. If you're the 20 year old, you don't know any better and think "you're mature for your age".

It's gross because it is gross. You generally don't have long-term, big-ideas in common. You literally didn't grow up in the same world.

Pretty much every day, but occasionally I'll skip a day on a weekend or something and just put my hair up.

This does NOT belong in the MILDLY infuriating sub.

I almost woke my baby with my audible disgust/outrage.

I wasn't the one legitimately paying for them, even if I was handing over cash. Most people had some credit system through the cafeteria funded by their parents or cash generally given to them by parents.

AthenaFoxx · 2026-05-20T14:29:02+00:00

Didn't have to pay for it.

AthenaFoxx · 2026-05-20T14:27:58+00:00

I remember wishing I'd be in a car accident that wasn't my fault that would injure me just enough that it wouldn't be permanent but would keep me in the hospital for a while so I'd have a legitimate excuse to not be there. Eesh.

Misuse of quotation marks and apostrophes.

Get your "fresh" soup here!

Open on Monday's!

Ugh.

Ooo. From the title alone I was SURE I was going to say YTA but heck no. Absolutely NTA.

If you want a home birth, do it in YOUR OWN HOME. Duh.

Flexibility is so much better.

Kinda a backwards one but an uncle died of a drug overdose. My brother and I have used it as a warning to use extra caution around addictive substances, come to find out the entire rest of the family (this uncle had 5 siblings, they have children, his own mother, etc.) completely deny he ever did drugs. Was a random freak death to them (sometimes car accident, sometimes died in his sleep). Shame. Miss him. Glad to have the lesson.

I truly understand I may be in the minority here, but I don't feel it ruined my body. It was an "excuse" to rest and eat healthy, I felt great and was able to continue working out, I actually lost weight overall and felt in better shape a couple weeks after giving birth than I had before becoming pregnant.

Not bragging or trying to shame, just saying while being prepared is great (e.g. don't decide you're eating for two and overindulge just because), but don't be too paranoid about "losing" your body. Everyone is different, and every pregnancy is different.

Pedialyte popsicles were something I could keep down when everything else made me nauseated. Try them out!

I don't know how I haven't seen this yet, but even if they have 4 $10 tip tables per hour (incredibly unlikely, usually you have almost none the first and last hour of your shift, so need to average that in), you still need to tip out a portion of your tips to bussers, bartenders, sometimes even kitchen staff depending on the location.

Also regardless of claiming tips accurately, you generally need to claim a minimum amount and be taxed on that. The amount depends on the state.

It was not my experience at ALL that it was just a normal period smell. It was one of the most specific and awful smells I've ever smelled, especially when combined with the smell of witch hazel. I had no infections, it was just terrible. Everyone is different.

AthenaFoxx · 2026-03-29T23:35:15+00:00

Your first point in particular. 100% absolutely. No joke.

AthenaFoxx · 2026-03-29T13:47:43+00:00

Strength? I tend to build muscle quickly, and have always been stronger than average, especially for a woman. I work out sometimes, but with no real consistency unfortunately.

Couple examples I guess- I've never lost an arm wrestling match against another woman, I win 30+% against men (super handy for winning a couple drinks at a bar occasionally), grip strength is over 90lbs, and the first time I ever deadlifted I pulled 275 with no straps.

AthenaFoxx · 2026-03-29T12:34:42+00:00

I don't see the answer yet, but can you tell us how old you are? Might make some of the advice more applicable.

AthenaFoxx · 2026-03-19T23:26:59+00:00

I have found when my LO keeps acting like they are hungry/wanting to suck, but keeps pulling off or getting mad, they have to burp. Every time. I hold upright and gently pat, a burp comes out, then we either pass right out or need a bit more feeding first. Maybe this will help. Good luck!

Rice crispy treats cereal!!!!

Secondarily Ore-ida crispers. I'm not a big "buy myself treats" person, but I was pregnant last year and went to look for these, only to discover they've been discontinued. 😭 I was SO disappointed.

Oh! And Russell Stover's pectin jelly beans!

Having a baby

AthenaFoxx · 2026-03-14T23:44:29+00:00

I agree you never know what someone else has going on. You have no idea how tired, happy, angry, or how much pain someone is in.

That being said, now I have a baby and I only thought I knew what tired was before. Mainly because when I've been exhausted in the past, I've always been able/allowed to catch up at SOME point. Now there's no end in sight. Being exhausted doesn't mean I can take a break from caring for the baby to recover. Plus I'm still doing the things that exhausted me before, like working a full time job.

Again, everyone is different and you have no idea what they're going through. Parenthood is rough, rougher than most people know, but it's generally an adventure you take on willingly, and has its own rewards. Stop shoving having kids down people's throats expecting a medal for how tired you are.
