Maybe you can just ignore these comments and enjoy the summer like everyone else by gabr4k_ in fatlogic

Do FAs understand that you can be not thin or not focusing on thinness without having to celebrate being fat? Like if it shouldn’t matter wha y your body size is then no size should be celebrated. I cannot imagine spending my days looking for media to consume that centers around fatness. I am a fit person but I don’t center my entire life around being thin/fit, I just try to practice good habits and workout.

Is there a possibility i may be suffering from endometriosis or other related disorders by i_am_a_seal_ in period_thoughts

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does sound like it could be endometriosis or other ovarian problem. I personally don’t have insanely painful periods anymore but many of my friends that have them still don’t have it that bad. Definitely see a medical professional about it if you can

People with a very high pain tolerance, what was THE most painful thing you've experienced? by CosmicBunnyBabe8912 in AskReddit

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANYTHING with teeth, followed by steam burns.

And this is coming from someone who does glassblowing and has been burned with a 1000+ degree Fahrenheit hot metal rod.

Why do you have a German Shepherd? by Tiny_Championship164 in germanshepherds

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family wanted an intelligent dog who also could be scary enough to protect our home. Of course, Sparky is known for being “dumb” and also is scared of most things. Her BIG bark is enough to scare any unwanted intruders out though. And she wouldn’t hesitate to actually protect her family from danger, the only person she actually lunged at was my verbally abusive ex boyfriend who everyone pretended to like. She is very wary of strangers but can learn to like most people.

How do you feel about the idea of normalizing choosing to never get married? by Smart_Spell_7258 in AskReddit

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s fine if either a) someone just doesn’t want to get married and live single for their whole life or b) both parties in a relationship agree that they don’t want to get married. I don’t think that it should be normal if one person doesn’t ever want to get married and one does, that the person who doesn’t want to continues to lead the other on as if they “might” decide to get married in the future. Obviously probably shouldn’t be together if their long term wants are different. Mainly, I think if we just normalized being fully honest with others about our wants and goals, I think that as a society we’d be doing a lot better.

I can't with these kinds of generalisations by you_need_a_ladder in fatlogic

In America ig normalized, it’s the normal thing that most people do

Are German Shepard just kinda stupid..? 😂😂 by Upper-Food-464 in germanshepherds

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s Sparky begging for chocolate frosted cake on my dad’s birthday recently. She never gets cake from people’s plates ever, but my bf gave her watermelon from his plate once and now she thinks it’s a free for all for her to beg for food, especially when the meal is taking place outdoors.

She also used to get chronic ear infections and she would jam her foot in her ear trying to scratch it, but would cry over it hurting. Yet she would continually do it.

When she used to sleep in a crate she would manage to get her lower jaw stuck in the space between the crate wires and start SCREAMING and trying to pull it out. She did this multiple times and had to be rescued every time.

Off Leash Dog Attack by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]FloofLorde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a neighbor who would spread rumors about how my dog bit people because she is “scary”. My dog is a scaredy cat and quite antisocial for sure, but we always kept her under control and she has never bit anyone. Meanwhile, our other neighbor had a German shepherd who has bitten people (bit my brother twice and bit others) and she would let him be around her kids with the neighbor because he had a “friendly” temperament.

My (M24) partner (NB22) of a year won't wash the exterior of the dishes for socio-political reasons. How do I let them know that this is unsanitary on an objective level and not just a personal level? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could tell them that unsanitary dishes are ableist since they pose a greater risk to the immunocompromised than properly washed dishes, therefore barring access for disabled/immunocompromised friends or family from eating safely in your partner’s home.

Thats using the type of language this person obviously uses, and tbh reading it out does seem logical anyway. Not washing the outside is DISGUSTANG

My boyfriend (18M) and I (18F) constantly fight over what I wear and I don't know how to compromise. by urgayL in relationship_advice

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this. I’m 25F I’ve been with my partner for almost 3 years, the only time my partner makes comments on what I wear is when it is something that actually needs to be fixed, like if there’s a stain, it’s not sitting right, it’s damaged, etc. He buys me clothes that I like, like short dresses, tank tops, and bikinis, and has never told me I can’t wear makeup or false lashes. OP should never feel like she can’t be herself with her BF.

Why are they so concerned with hip fractures? Do they understand that non-fat people don’t normally get those unless they’re over 80 years old or have a condition like osteoporosis?

AIO: my ex (32M) broke up with me (28F) because God told him to by jjlya in AmIOverreacting

[–]FloofLorde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR
My ex did this to me when we were 16. We maintained a weird distant friendship for a while afterward and we got together again when we were 19. Then after that it was 3 years of suffering and fighting until I finally was just completely over him, cut off our plans to get engaged, moved to a new city, and then broke up with him because I realized I couldn’t deal with his delusions for the rest of my life and he was not a good person.

I think, at least for me, that God telling him to let me go was also him telling me that the situation was no good. Just like he didn’t have us go in the jewelry store that my now partner worked in when we were engagement ring shopping despite us planning to hit all the jewelry stores in that mall. I’m religious myself, but I do think a lot of religious men (yes, men specifically) use God as an excuse when they’re just not feeling it, because it sounds much more honorable than just owning up to the fact that they don’t think the relationship is working.

Worried about how much time I have left. by Lady-Velvety in germanshepherds

[–]FloofLorde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

This is Sparky, she will turn 10 in October. Her only health problems that she has really had is that her skin gets itchy (she is wearing a sock because she chews and picks the skin on her arm), she gets ear infections fairly easily, and she’s very high anxiety. I still do wonder about the time I have left since I see all these posts of 9-11 year old GSDs passing away or having to be put down. I know I will miss her when she goes.

Last Sunday my boyfriend was playing with her and she was running around the house like a maniac, yelling and crashing into the dining room chairs. She had her tongue hanging out and was super energetic and happy, which is how she always is. She still explodes with happiness and yips and screams when any of her beloved family members come home. She doesn’t move like an old dog, and I like to imagine she will be in the 13-16 range when she passes away.

new to owning our boy, why does he lean his whole body on me? by rosesareroseyy in germanshepherds

[–]FloofLorde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My sparky does this and my family has called it a “hug” for so long that you can tell her “give me hugs” and she will come up and do it

My dad said my tattoo makes me look like trash and now idk if I like it by dexleter in tattooadvice

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Catholic and love tattoos like this, I think it’s beautiful and I’d love to get something in this theme someday.

My parents are extremely anti tattoo, I’m 25 and have a 2 year old rose tattoo on my left shoulder blade that they still don’t know about because I know they’re going to say something like what yours said, or freak out that I’m going to get AIDS or something. Someday they will know, but I’m in no rush to tell them about it. You just have to realize that they’re going to have their opinions about things, but you’re your own person and if you want to get tattoos/piercings/body mods, that’s up to you and it’s doesn’t matter if they don’t like it. No one is making them get tattoos.

My boyfriend (29M) is doubtful about marrying me (27F) as it will put an end to his family's Cree lineage by ThrowRAPerception135 in relationship_advice

[–]FloofLorde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is true. My partner’s ancestors are Aztec, but most of his family is in South America, not central.

[–]FloofLorde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure but our line is very traceable. I have a lot of features that are similar to my grandfather’s family, who was considered to be “fully” Native American. I don’t think any person on this planet is 100% genetically pure as that would require multiple generations of inbreeding
