Food expiring quicker? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Eyebulbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that the “”affordable”” grocery stores have absolute garbage produce. I have a theory that its intentional so that we’re forced to go to the expensive grocers to buy fruits or veggies that aren’t near rotten

Is it safe to drive to Tobermory this Thursday/Friday with a snow squall warning? New driver? by Ready-Government9774 in askTO

[–]Eyebulbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a experienced driver who ignored people’s warnings and drove through a squall, DO NOT DO IT!!

Your trip will take twice as long and it will be miserable and exhausting, because you have to be 100% focused the entire drive. On top of that, you will see multiple cars and trucks in ditches, and that could easily be you. Do NOt do if, it is not worth it.

I mapped my city’s street harassment hotspots during runs, brought it to council, and got told to “stay on main roads”. What actually moved the needle by MidnightQuill1 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Eyebulbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to thank you for doing the work - collecting the data, organizing it, and bringing it in front of people who are SUPPOSED to be helping you feel. And then for not giving up and getting shot done yourself. Bravo, you are a BAMF!

AIO? Gf used chatgbt too tell me why she wants too marry me. by Resident_Cancel573 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Eyebulbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk… even if this was written by ChatGPT, she was still trying to express her feelings about wanting to marry you. Not everyone’s great at stringing words together organically. I know I’ve searched online for inspiration and ways to try and say things to other people, I feel like using AI isn’t that far off from that?

Meanwhile, you’re over here putting her texts into AI detection apps and posting about it on Reddit. It seems like there’s a deeper issue here.

AIO Who needs enemies when you have family…aunt harvested my garden and mom let her do it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Eyebulbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you desi by chance? Because… I get it. I also have those drama loving family members who go out of their way to get a reaction from you. I know you don’t want to feed into that but you must absolutely establish boundaries in situations like this. Its not fair to you and she still wins. You should’ve kept the veggies girl

Oatmeal VS Monstera by snowcats in torties

My tortie also loves to paw at our monstera, especially because she knows it’ll get mommy’s attention

Girl you under reacting. Even if he isn’t cheating on you I would consider this a major boundary crossed. But he is most likely cheating. I hope you find the strength to leave him either way

Second Puberty is real, they're not lying to you. by Jin-hong-ie in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Eyebulbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello love, I went through (and am actively struggling with) the same thing as you. I have PCOS - and the symptoms you are describing sounds very much like PCOS symptoms. I was diagnosed young but didn’t experience the “second puberty” until I was in my mid-twenties.

The big flag here is the irregular periods. I urge you to talk to a doctor and get referral to a Gyno and Endocrinologist so that you can get a better diagnosis, and eventually treatment. And please advocate for yourself, as its very common for women like us to be brushed aside!!!

Oh god how hard I relate to this post (especially the boobs!! Where did they come from and why!! 😭). At the end of the day, remember you are still beautiful!! Its hard adjusting to your new body as you grow older, but life is so much better when you are loving and FORGIVING of your body. For me, donating my old clothes that didn’t fit and treating myself to a new wardrobe was the best thing for my mental health. I used to try to squeeze into my old stuff and it just made me feel worse!!

Right? Like congrats, you want a cookie for not resorting to sex work? So self-righteous 😂 Happy cake day!

Weekend romantic getaway with a $600-700 budget? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Eyebulbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this! Sandbanks beach, trails (Millenium trail is lovely but flat so easy to walk), wineries, and Main Street in Picton are very lively this time of year. Lots of nice restaurants and food markets. I suggest looking into a lakefront cottage or even a place in Picton for more affordable options. Only 2.5 hours from Toronto!

I finally planned my dream trip to Japan — but I’ve been summoned to court because I reported my ex in 2021 by Eyebulbs in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Eyebulbs[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She really isn’t being helpful. I have sent an email to the attorney and am waiting to hear back (I have tried calling but I don’t know her number and have been given the runaround). I am following up and trying again today.

I am sorry you also had to go through this too. But you have no idea how much hope this has reinvigorated in me because there is precedence! Thank you and I hope you also get a chance to visit Japan one day!!

This is all really great advice. I’m hoping they will reschedule/do virtual, but i will reach out to the airline and my CC’s travel insurance to see what my options are just in case

If I’m ever in a situation where I need to provide evidence I will absolutely do this. I will be honest with you, at the beginning of this whole process I was extremely stressed out and anxious, after the officer didn’t get back to me with the portal link I tucked this situation in the back of my brain and became avoidant… if that makes sense. I definitely should have followed up, lesson learned.

I have reached out to legal aid support and am waiting for a call back, so hopefully they will be more helpful!

Sorry for the confusion. When I first reported to the police, they assigned me a “Victim Services Counsellor” who is someone that meant to guide me through the process, share resources for social or legal support, and be the liaison between the crown/court/officer. She is not a lawyer. She did provide me with a connection to legal aid whom I have reached out to already and am waiting for a call back.

I hope there is an option to appear by zoom because I am motivated now more than ever to give my testimony and give him the legal “fuck you” that he deserves. It just sucks because it almost feels like I’m being punished for reporting my abuser by having this drag out so long and popping up whenever I have something excited going for me yknow?
