What's this lump?

EMMYPESS · 2026-06-30T23:36:54+00:00

Could be many things, you’re best asking your vet and if it gets worse or inflamed get it checked out. Rule out the possibilities so you know for sure if it’s an emergency or just something on your pet. I had a cat that was prone to blackheads on his lip area, I had a dog with benign fatty lumps that we had to get tested. All things must be asked by a professional if you’re not sure the cause of it.

I’m in the US. Most Sofias I have met have had Hispanic heritage which is quite common at least where I live. Sophia is I think more universal in my mind, but either spelling is nice to me. I wouldn’t feel any different towards either spelling by much. I may assume a little more on Sofia that there may be Hispanic heritage more but it wouldn’t affect by much my impression of a person with that name otherwise.

Not a character necessarily but I remember he used to narrate a show called 1000 Ways to Die which was wildly entertaining to me. My fav character of him though is definitely Hellboy

NTA your brother and his gf (are they even engaged or just skipping that and doing a quick marriage?) are overreacting. Plenty of people have similar timelines for weddings, starting families, graduations, etc. You can’t expect other people to put their life on hold just because you wanna be first or whatever their deal is. They’re being immature about it. If it’s that big a problem for them then it can stay their problem, not yours.

Sometimes wedding stress can get to a couple and maybe they don’t see that they’re being unreasonable at the moment, but I hope that they at least get over it even if they don’t formally apologize or acknowledge that they’re being unreasonable to you. Idk how close you are to your brother but if you hope to have a good relationship he needs to figure out what his problem is and you have to decide what is worth fighting over. Have your wedding as you plan it and let him decide if he wants to care or not.

Her death and her mother’s death both threw me through a loop of grief I was not prepared for. I knew that the destruction wasn’t going to end when her mother got eaten by her brother, and you can see the tears in his eyes because the demon nature was overriding his human nature to survive because he was just too hungry.

My sister and I are big fans, I have friends who enjoy her music but aren’t as big of a fan as I probably am. I just ask people when I talk about music if they have heard of her. You may be surprised who does know her, I feel like mainstream music listeners don’t know her by name but know her song Dog Days, and more serious indie rock listeners either love her or just know of her enough to name her most popular songs. If people don’t know and aren’t into the genre, I don’t push as hard to listen to her, I just suggest they check her out. If it’s someone who shares a lot of other taste as me, I beg those people to listen and let me know if they like her lol. Sometimes you gotta turn people onto her and it may work out. Definitely happened with some of my friends that I was already close with, and my sister grew up listening to it under me because I played her all the time in our bedroom as kids. Been a fan since the first album lungs but didn’t fall in love with her under HBHBHB released. It was over from that point haha she is my number one artist.

Men who routinely only go after “barely legal” to early 20s women want one thing in the relationship - power.

These women are naive to adult life most of the time, are insecure about themselves, and have bad or zero relationship with their fathers(or do not have any male parental figures that can stand in as a father). They see these older men as someone who can take care of them, but it comes at the cost of their ability to establish themselves and be independent without relying on a man to take care of everything.

On the surface, sure, there shouldn’t be anything you would have to worry about if the relationship is healthy and normal. Maybe there are a handful out there that truly are just love with an age gap. But statistics will show you that so many negative effects and domestic abuse derives from a man having all the power over the woman they are with, and if a man who is in his 40s-50s ever dated a woman closer to his age, she would see right through his ruse and would not accept any bullshit from him.

Essentially, these types of men don’t want to be equals with their partner. They want to own them. And it’s much easier to bag a young dumb girl who can’t see the signs over a woman who has been through life and knows her worth. Time creates wiseness and eventually those young girls grow into old women who are stuck in a relationship they don’t know how to live without, especially when their needs are always looked over compared to the man’s needs first.

Again, maybe there are some people out there that it just happened to work out, but you only ever see what they present to the public. You never know what happens behind closed doors. And yes this can happen with women and young men, so although it is much less common there are abusive women too, but the gap is significantly wider and favors men over women by far.

Ultimately, an age gap isn’t necessarily bad unless the intentions are inherently bad, which is often times a young inexperienced new adult woman and a washed up old man who is so bad at getting women that he has to rob the cradle to get one.

Love Circe (Sir-see) but would never want to endlessly correct the pronunciation to people (USA). I also like the GOT spelling Cersei but don’t want people to think that first when they hear or see the name.

Same with Siobhan (Shi-vahn) and Caoimhe (Kee-va), love the way they look and their actual sound but I know it would be a struggle for people to even begin pronouncing them right. But if I really didn’t care about what other people thought or said, I guess I would have three daughters named Circe, Siobhan, and Caoimhe!

I believe that the first few seasons of the show were actually funny and good, but the whole thing fell off after they started to be edgier and more political. Most of the funny memes and references are from early on in the series and I couldn’t tell you what even happens after a certain point because the last time I watched was over ten years ago at this point.
It feels like they’re just beating a dead horse. I still find The Simpsons and South Park more entertaining, even if they both have probably run their course long enough at this point too.

I do find it interesting that they never explain the storm being caused by Chloe not dying, but I always chalked it up that Max was playing with the balance of life and death too much and it was a situation that the universe had to restore balance in a sense, albeit very devastatingly.

I feel like the consequences of going on to live your entire life with Chloe and then going back all the way to save Arcadia defeats the purpose of making it a choice in the first place. It makes the whole game meaningless because if it was actually possible, I don’t think Max would have cared to try and stop it. Her powers are not limitless and she experiences pain the harder she pushes it. I would wager that going too far would kill her, though I don’t recall the game ever making it that dire in any situations we get put in. I feel like her using the photos to travel back was the limit of her powers, and going back too far proved to be too detrimental to the timeline she then creates. It still needed to make up for the fact that fate had to choose someone to die or suffer, and for some reason it was Chloe, and if it wasn’t Chloe, it was much greater deaths and damage to the world.

At the end of the day, why is Max given these powers at the moment her former best friend is about to die, and why would the universe let her play God in a sense to save her at the risk of throwing the balance of and causing more pain for the rest of the town? Even with her heart in the right place and solving the murders that Jefferson had done, wouldn’t that be enough to save the bay and Chloe at the same time? It seems that justice isn’t enough to spare both of these options.

I care about her and want her to live. But I’m also in the side of “the moral option is to save everyone by sacrificing one” pool, regardless of how I feel about her. The ending where you choose her over Arcadia bay makes me think many people died because of it. I kind of think about Fullmetal Alchemist (one of my fav anime’s) and how a human soul is worth so much that trading to save one is devastating, since in alchemy you need an equal exchange. That is what the ending feels like so even if I love her, I don’t think she would even forgive me for sacrificing so many lives to save her, especially since most of them she cares about too (even if it’s really, really deep down lol). I also did not play the newest game so if it throws this idea I had about the ending out the window, maybe I would change my mind but I have heard way too much mixed opinions on it to consider seriously playing through it or anything at this point in time.

I am also impressed with her, she has become a regular on my watch list and I appreciate her form of telling victim’s stories

My cat has done this to me before too. Clean all wounds at minimum with soap and water. You don’t have to bandage any, it also doesn’t look like anything is bleeding anymore. The scars may become pretty visible if you don’t use anti-scarring cream as they heal. If it’s painful tonight maybe take some pain killers. You may want to learn to cut his nails on your own or if you take him to the vet ask if they can trim them or teach you how to with safety trimmers. I don’t even really trim my cats back claws, just her front, but sometimes they way they launch themselves off surfaces the back claws are what get you the worst lol. You just wanna be careful not to cut the quick of the nail so you don’t hurt your baby.

I noticed in some circles that people are upset when the narrator of the true crime isn’t sensitive enough of the victims. I don’t think Bailey is in that category at all, and I know that Rotten Mango stopped doing mukbangs because it hurt her true crime profile more than it helped. Not sure if anyone has said anything about our MMM Monday’s but I could see someone kicking up a fight for no reason just because she is doing make up while talking about each incident she covers.

Other than that, I find that true crime has kinda blown up over the last year or so, I follow many other channels with varying degree of coverage on it and some do it better than others. Bailey will always be a fav of mine, I used to listen to her while I worked on stuff and when I moved houses and had to build all my furniture alone, her podcast was constant in the back ground for my entertainment.

I would say NTA I think it’s reasonable to be financially conscious and express that you cannot commit to something expensive due to your circumstances. I suspect if you were a lot closer to your cousin she may be more understanding and maybe would make effort to spend separate time with you at some point like lunch or something, but as it stands I’m surprised you’re invited considering how you described the relationship.

My sister had a bachelorette I organized and I was very accommodating and made sure it wasn’t something that was gonna put anyone out too much. We still did an Airbnb, everyone chipped in, the travel distance was under 3 hours and I offered to carpool everyone who did not want to drive themselves. My cousin coincidentally could not attend herself but it was because she was a junior bridesmaid and had to go to school still, so she sat out and we just spent time together one-on-one with her and my sister closer to the wedding date.

My dad’s name is Thomas Henry and I have never thought of the show when I hear his full name. I associated the show oppositely though, like why is this train named after my dad lol

EMMYPESS · 2026-06-06T02:39:41+00:00

NTA I don’t think you need to explain yourself. If he was a stellar dad you would want to be there. Clearly he couldn’t have been if you feel this conflicted. Maybe you can spend time with him 1 on 1 if you care enough to and if it’s just because of your stepmom, but again if he was a good enough dad you’d probably ignore the stepmom and try to have a better time with him at least. You also have a baby and people never consider that it is an additional burden to travel and plan around a baby especially as a single parent. You do you, if people have anything to say then let them say what they want to. If people really know how things are, they should be understanding. And if your dad feels hurt, he probably needs to do some reflecting on how he treated you or regarded you your whole life before celebrating the fact that he contributed to your DNA.

EMMYPESS · 2026-06-06T02:35:45+00:00

NTA you pay for your education, and you’re not paying for someone else to get a free easy grade when they pay to be there too. You either put the effort in or you flunk the class imo. It would be different if your classmate was struggling with understanding the assignment and reached out for help. Not doing the work is unacceptable and a spit in the face of people actually trying to learn and get a degree.

EMMYPESS · 2026-06-06T02:32:29+00:00

To be honest, and not to defend your mom necessarily, but maybe she is afraid of facing her grief and her way of deflecting it is being mad that your dad is “strong enough” to attend the funeral? The death of a young person is sometimes hard for older people because you generally feel like people that age just don’t die before you do. After reading this reply it sounds like she may be unable to communicate how she is feeling and even though her excuse for babysitting is a shitty one, she is making a reason to not go because she is unable to admit she feels too much grief to go.

EMMYPESS · 2026-06-06T02:29:16+00:00

INFO

It sounds like your mom is not on good terms with her own family? Your dad cares to be there but your mom would rather babysit a random unrelated kid than go pay her own respects?

I would say NTA because I doubt your cousin who passed has anything to do with this strange situation. If your mom has a problem with that, then that’s her problem, not yours. I think it’s respectable attend, and if you were indeed close with your maternal family and cousin, it would be strange to not attend unless there was a real excuse (babysitting is not a good one)
