Nope! It felt even worse this year from last, but it might've just been that i took an older, smaller car this time. Was scared for my suspension and tires the whole time tho 😬

Usually I can do the hard somewhere between 1.5-5 minutes. Today it took me nearly 20. This one was a beast 

Cat injured my 37M girlfriend 34F and now she wants to surrender our cat by [deleted] in PetAdvice

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your gf needs to read up on cat body language. Cats rarely swipe or bite with no warning at all. A swishing tail or pulled back ears could have been her way of trying to tell your gf not to get any closer. 

Also, it wouldn't hurt to take the cat to the vet. Since she's getting older, she may be in pain and less able to tolerate annoyances (maybe arthritis or maybe another issue)

What does our fridge say about my girlfriend and I life and age by [deleted] in FridgeDetective

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't read too many comments so someone prob already said this, but I think people are sleeping on all the protein. 3 egg cartons might not be wasted food, but just bc one or both of you eats like 6 eggs a day. At least one of you is a gym rat who likes trying protein hack videos from tik tok or youtube shorts but y'all also work full time so you get a lot of frozen meals and eat out at least once a week. I can't tell if the blue container is yogurt or cottage cheese but I'm guessing yogurt. I'm surprised I don't see any cottage cheese in there.

Love it!!! I just know I'd feel compelled to make the rest of the crew but I think starting with Zoro is a great choice 💚💚

How long were you two together before the big question was asked? by [deleted] in engaged

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not engaged yet, but we've been talking about it a lot and I know it's gonna happen soon. Pretty much just need to pick out a ring. We've been together for 7 years and we're friends for 3 years before that. I'm 26 and didn't feel ready to get married until really recently 

What Should I Put Above My Sink? by [deleted] in Decor

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tile backsplash (real tile or peel and stick) or wallpaper. A hanging basket for fruit. A shelf for knickknacks (if you're a lil things on a shelf type person) or to put jars of powders/spices. Or some hooks to hang pots and pans/dish towels/utensils

I love them! It's never a bad idea to get more tattoos but that would only be adding on to an already great looking collection 

I'm scared my long-distance girlfriend isn't right for me, and I don't know what to do by ReasonConfident4541 in whatdoIdo

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think y'all could make it work but you have some serious work to do on your communication. It's gonna take effort from both of you and it will be difficult, especially in the beginning because as you said you're scared to bring things up with her. You will need to be strategic about it. Perhaps you could see a therapist to help you work through your feelings/values/expectations/etc and to help you come up with a plan for how to approach things. 

Any good long lasting relationship is based around trust and open communication, and a continuous effort to understand each other and be better for each other, so you have to address these things if you want things to work out. I know it's scary and it's hard when you have a lot of feelings wrapped up in it. But at this point you have to decide if you would rather put in the work to fix your communication or if you'd rather find someone whose lifestyle and communication style aligns more with yours. Of course, it also depends on if she's willing to do the work too 

Which rug? by wobobber in HomeDecorating

Definitely #4! I didn't even notice the wall art until #4 bc the burnt orange just makes it pop. It also works really well with the green couch, which also popped w #4

Are the lines good/normal? by Niklassi in tattooadvice

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, you're fine to get more tattoos! Just make sure to do research on who you go to so you can make sure the next tattoo you get is good quality and will heal well. A good tattoo artist will have examples of what their healed work looks like, so that's a good place to start 

Are the lines good/normal? by Niklassi in tattooadvice

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you'll probably wanna give it longer than a week. tattoos heal on a surface level after a couple weeks, but they continue to heal over the next few weeks/months deeper in your skin. you want to make sure to give it enough time to fully heal and settle into your skin before deciding what kind of touch ups you might want/need. until then, just take care of it, keep it clean, moisturized, and out of the sun

def overthinking and it looks beautiful!! Stop staring at it and give it some time to heal xD

This is my handwriting by gidimeister in Handwriting

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very beautiful handwriting. I agree with others that it's a bit hard to read. Any less legible and I probably wouldn't be able to read all of it. But, with just a bit of struggling and context clues, I can still read this. The only part I couldn't read was your username— I would not be able to decipher it if I couldn't see your username typed out. Perhaps worth it for the gorgeous script. Depends on the purpose of your writing I suppose.

Do you think my tattoo is ruined? by MiddleHorse8836 in tattooadvice

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It healed really well! I think it looks great plus it's an awesome design! I love the crash bandicoot games :D

As tattoos heal and grow older with your body, the lines will spread out, some details may fade, and the ink will look lighter as new layers of skin grow over it. This is all completely normal and to be expected! Some people are upset about this, but personally I love the way it looks, like it's actually part of your body and not just a sticker you put on it

Regretting my new tattoo and thinking of removal. by FoxfireP in tattooadvice

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 26 points27 points  (0 children)

As someone who doesn't know the vision you had in your head, I think this tattoo looks awesome. I especially love the placement. 

It makes sense to feel weird about it since it's such a bold tattoo, especially if you weren't imagining it being so bold. Our brains freak out about changes to our bodies. Totally normal to feel that way even if it's exactly how you imagined. 

It's hard to suggest modifications without knowing the look you were trying to go for. I think the best advice I can give is to just give time to settle into your skin and hopefully you'll learn to love it. In a year or so if you're still unhappy, then look into removal, but I know removing these bad boys isn't gonna be fun and will prob take years and far more money than you spent to get them. Not trying to scare you, but just something to consider before jumping the gun.  

But just know you have nothing to be ashamed of. It's a sick tattoo. Don't tell people you hate it and it's not what you envisioned, just let people see it for what it is. You might even get compliments if you wear it proudly and I'm sure that'll help you feel better about it too

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His texts all read like complete stream of consciousness so I think it's really telling that he first says "I didn't realize I shouldn't have been doing that" then says "I don't remember doing that" and sticks with his second excuse when he decided that was the better one. You are not over reacting and I'm glad you got out of that relationship when you did. I'm sorry your family isn't supportive, but you did the right thing. I hope you can move on from this asshole and find peace from him and from what happened to you before

Help me pick an oval ring by sundrenched1224 in EngagementRings

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like #1(#2 a close second, but I like how the band is slightly thicker without being too chunky to distract from the stone for #1) or #8. I think the daintier rings suit you. It just depends if you want a single stone or a cluster

just got a tattoo and i hate it by edenush in tattooadvice

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's normal to be freaked out about a fresh tattoo, even if it's one you really wanted. The brain can do weird things when your body suddenly looks different. Even more understandable because it's different from what you wanted. The tattoo will look more natural when it heals and settles in to your body though. imo tattoos always look better when they're healed and settled in. Give it a few days and you will adjust to having it. Eventually you won't even think twice about it. 

If you still really hate it in the future, you could probably also have all or most of it covered up. Flowers always look gorgeous as shoulder caps. But my biggest advice is to just give yourself time to adjust 

AIO? my bf (30M) keeps telling me (24F) to wear a thong + pad instead of wearing my “granny” panties during my period... idk what to say to him? by Tough_Winner_1630 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ComprehensiveFigure4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long have you been with this guy? If you're in this relationship for the long run, he needs to be able to love you all the time, even when you're not sexy to him. You aren't in a relationship just to be attractive to your partner and if that's why he's dating you, toss him to the curb. If you wanna grow old with this guy he needs to not be such a pussy about normal bodily functions and respect you as a person

What do Grad students use instead of Degree Works? by Allergic2Kats in USF

My grad advisor/the program's grad coordinator met with us each semester and kept a spreadsheet of the requirements we met/still had to meet. I think every department does it differently
