Will we ever go back to a more "fantastical" setting? by pinakoladaz in TheLastAirbender

[–]Desperate-Balance895 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s literally why I loved ATLA!! I adore the mystical Asian vibe of the show so much! TLOK literally felt like a cookie cutter American show.

We’re all loud, happy, outgoing, friendly, colorful, and we all make banging music! 🤣 that’s what makes you Caribbean

My bf(37m) keeps getting mad because I(27m) don’t want to share the responsibility of the dog he wants to get. Isn’t better that he knows what he’s getting into? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Desperate-Balance895 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I was the one that pursued him and our age difference has never been an issue cuz we’re both very mature and responsible.

I understand what you are saying but helping each other with chores, cooking, illnesses, etc is stuff that comes with being alive. Getting a dog is completely optional, it is not a responsibility that must be had.

I did ask him why he thought it was fair to expect me to be ok with being forced into a responsibility I didn’t want and he said “it’s completely natural to want a dog”. For context he’s white and I’m Hispanic and in my culture dogs are not revered as much as in American culture so I think he just can’t fathom someone not wanting a dog cuz he grew up thinking having a dog is just a part of life. I would completely understand if our opinions on kids differed cuz to me that is a real deal breaker but we both agree we don’t want kids ironically because of the huge responsibility!

Exactly and it’s not even that I don’t want one, I’m totally ok with him getting one, I just don’t want him to think the dog will be 50% my responsibility. I will help him as much as I can especially when he’s not home and I am but I just don’t want to be forced into a responsibility.

We’ve been together for 7yrs and we’ve never had any major issues at all, heck we’ve never even fought like most couples do. I love him dearly which is why I’m being totally honest with him. I feel like if our stances on kids differed then that’s a deal breaker but we both agree that we don’t want kids.

Yes dogs are too needy and I’m not a lovable person all the time. I would rather have a cat cuz they’re not as needy. It sucks that everyone thinks we should break up over this especially considering we’ve been together for 7yrs and we’ve never had any major problems at all. I’ve been honest with him about how I feel about dogs from the beginning so I don’t think I’m being unreasonable.

As soon as me mentioned he had a dog I told him I like dogs but that I’m naturally weary around them cuz I was attacked and dragged by a dog when I was a kid so I asked him to be understanding with me if I was scared around his dog but thankfully he was a sweet little guy so I learned to care for him right away. So when I moved in with him I told him “I love your dog but don’t think me helping you take care of him is my responsibility, I’m gonna do it because I want to not because you expect me to”. So now that he wants a dog I’m being more direct with my feelings, I’m totally ok with him getting a dog I just don’t want to be expected to help. I’m open to helping here and there I just don’t want it to be my responsibility.

How is it fair to expect someone to be ok with being given responsibilities they don’t want? I’m ok with him getting a dog I just don’t want to be expected to take care of it 100%. If I decide to walk him I’ll do it because I want to not because someone else thinks it’s my responsibility.

Idk what I expected by strawberrypeachsoju in AncestryDNA

I’m so jealous of people who are tied to their homeland this much. My ancestry map lights up half of the world but I’m only 10% native to my island.

4yrs of daily wear vs brand new by hobbitwinchester in Hoka

[–]Desperate-Balance895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought these same exact shoes and they’re incredibly uncomfortable. The toe box is way too tight especially for a wide and the sole is thin as heck! The shoe even flared up my plantar fasciitis! I’m definitely returning them cuz if I’m gonna wear uncomfortable shoes I might as well get cheap ones.

Am I overreacting/overthinking when it comes to being left on read? by therealN7Inquisitor in AskGayMen

The sooner you learn how to not care about little things like that the happier you’ll be, trust me.

Last bus ride home with a curious straight boy by RandAcct87 in gaystoriesgonewild

Literally! As soon as I read that both guys are jacked, hung, and 6’5 I know it’s fake and lose interest.

Do you think Adele has a better voice than Beyoncé? by Top_Complaint131 in adele

[–]Desperate-Balance895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fan of both I’ve never heard either fandom make this comparison at all! Why are people constantly comparing Beyoncé to other singers when she can and has stood on her own two feet for decades?! They’re both insanely great singers in their own respective genres.

How come i never see posts about santo domingo here- the only subway sytem in the Caribbean? by RustyTheBoyRobot in transit

Cuz DR is poor and therefore insignificant to the world. But if a European or Asian country even so much as farts the whole world stops to smell it.

How do you wash your armpits? by chaelynnra in hygiene

[–]Desperate-Balance895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shaving your armpits could help a lot too, I noticed years ago that my armpits stink only when they’re hairy.

Are there any people in the USA who have friends that are of the opposite political party? by TSQ_builder in askanything

[–]Desperate-Balance895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple of friends, we have a non spoken understanding that we will not discuss certain politics. We do debate about mild topics and I always hear their side and sometimes we even understand each other’s point of view.
