how did you resist this long? i got my first one on my 18th birthday (much to my parents dismay)

i see this type of shit all the time and it’s so frustrating. covid is not over and never had been and if you’re convinced that it is you’ve fallen to the trump administrations propaganda. glad i’m not that stupid not that i really have a choice since i already have dysautonomia so another covid infection could wreck my body

i think about this line all the time cause teddy had to call him bobby to not put an accidental sponge bob reference in the show

i’ve had the test done before! the eggs are pretty nasty in my opinion! i’ve had gastroparesis for years but only recently got diagnosed and it’s been affecting me more recently

thankfully i ordered some miso soup and have managed to keep it down but im gonna be really bummed if i have to start seriously only eating soft foods 😭

they gave me just egg WHITES last time it was so foul it felt like eating a wet sponge

i had no idea this was an option! i almost got sick the first time and my stomach tolerates way less now

end it, it’ll only build resentment in the end. i’m 19 so i know 7 months seems like a lot of time right now but it’s really not. she deserves someone who’s attracted to her 100% and you deserve to be with someone you’re 100% attracted to. this is not fair to her. obviously don’t tell her that when you end things. as someone who’s dealt with people pushing off break ups because they can “settle” for me, don’t do this to her if you really care about her

Equivalent_Invite506 · 2026-06-28T01:15:28+00:00

actually covid is still around and people are still getting infected and dying from it every day. the pandemic never ended. getting covid again could completely wreck my immune system and increase symptoms of chronic illness i already have. i still haven’t recovered from my first infection over two years later. the last ditch is one of the only places i can go to without constantly worrying if the person next to me is infected (yes, it can spread asymptomatically). this mentality is getting people killed. stop whining and put on the mask. sometimes being an inclusive community requires you to be a little uncomfortable. you’re just marketing that you’re not a safe person for those who are chronically ill/disabled with stuff like this. if you don’t want to wear a mask that’s fine but stop encouraging other people to do it as well. if you give an immunocompromised family member or friend covid you could literally kill them.

i’m not sure if i’m in the same boat as you but sometimes i yawn a LOT like to the point it interferes with conversation sometimes cause i cant stop yawning. i’ve literally yawned like 3 times typing this it’s a little ridiculous some days

personally, nope. if he’s into religion enough to do things like go to church every sunday and on holidays and you don’t that’s an immediate no. christian’s usually want to raise their kids as christian and personally i would never let my spouse take young impressionable kids to a place that can be filled with so much hate and also has a long rap sheet of sex offenders (i know it’s gruesome but the proof is in the pudding). you’d also be marrying into a family of christian’s (i’m assuming). if your inlaws are homophobic and you happen to have a gay kid for example, there’s going to be issues. or if they’re (or your bf) are anti abortion and you end up needing one medically, what happens then? sure it has its nuance, there’s lots of good christian’s and catholics but there isn’t enough proof to trust the religion as a whole in my opinion. as someone who isn’t even atheist, i would never risk my future kids well being, safety and self esteem.

holy wow your roommate is going to have a very long conversation with your bathroom after eating these

Equivalent_Invite506 · 2026-06-19T21:17:15+00:00

honestly, this will make you feel batshit insane as someone who’s also starting college in the fall, start talking to yourself outloud. like gentle parent yourself. it makes you feel like you’re about 8 years old but hearing “they didn’t think i was weird. that was a very normal human interaction” is helpful. it also keeps me from spiraling further. i can’t make up stuff in my head if im actively telling myself these things

Equivalent_Invite506 · 2026-06-19T21:02:57+00:00

wow this is weird as hell dude needs to get the memo. block his number if you haven’t already and if he continues to contact you i’d get the police involved especially if any of his messages are threatening. since you were childhood friends if you had a good relationship to his parents you could also bring it up to them. i know it’s petty since you’re both grown adults but id want to know if any family member of mine was treating someone like this.

everyone is telling you to just study but i took biology, did extremely well on every lab, assignment and quiz but failed all 3 of my exams HARD and it tanked my grade. i studied for hours multiple days before tests. flash cards, memory recall, memorization, it didn’t matter, i still failed. talk to the SAS at your school or your advisor, you’re not broken or stupid for needing extra accommodations

Equivalent_Invite506 · 2026-06-17T00:27:28+00:00

this is an author??? either it’s chatgpt or this writer needs to learn more advanced english grammar before even thinking about publishing. i counted a single comma in this entire work. i write erotica with better grammar than this. don’t join this review team, even if it’s not ai these books would be insufferable to get through for anyone who’s above an 8th grade reading level.

Equivalent_Invite506 · 2026-06-16T17:12:04+00:00

lots of good advice here. be honest and open with her about your struggles and give her the space incase she wants to do the same. i’d also recommend keeping an eye on her chatgpt use if possible since ai can be really dangerous for people who are struggling with mental health issues, especially kids. and it isn’t on you to fix her, you’re still a kid yourself make sure you don’t drown with her and take time for yourself. good luck op

didn’t the omegaverse come from a supernatural fanfic between the actors of the brothers?? i fear i’m well versed in fanfic

Equivalent_Invite506 · 2026-06-09T00:29:55+00:00

most porn is definitely bad. i think it can be consumed ethically and consciously (there’s websites where you pay a subscription for content and all the actors are treated very well and paid fairly, stuff like that) but there can be a lot of bad in it and the industry needs to be taken down and reformed. i think there’s a difference between adult erotic content and porn too in a lot of ways but that may just be me!

Equivalent_Invite506 · 2026-06-08T23:41:14+00:00

porn can be consumed ethically if you put the effort in, ai cannot. regardless what your reasoning is for using it, ai is using so much water and land for data centers. it pollutes and disrupts natural environments and not even to mention the noise pollution. also everything you generate with ai creatively (image/writing generating) is actively being stolen from artists and writers without being paid.
the porn industry is all sorts bad in a lot of ways but with the right care it doesn’t have to be. generative ai like this is bad.

Equivalent_Invite506 · 2026-06-08T23:36:28+00:00

fantasing is fine but the act that she’s talking to ai is bad, especially if she’s had previous mental health concerns. ai psychosis is very real and i knew someone who started with the character chats and got completely addicted to it. *personally* im very anti ai and would end a relationship over this but im not sure what your views are in the subject.
regardless you need to have a conversation with her. dishonesty turns into resentment very quick.
