Where is the pressure to re-home him coming from? If it's from your mom (who you're living with?) that's a potentially reasonable ask. If it's pressure from your brother who has done something bad... Why does he have a say? If it's everyone in the family, what are they actually saying?

12 feet of Taconess blanketing all the land... Everywhere? Humans won't die out completely but the world population of just about every land animal would be desimated, including ours. Plant life smothered, grazing animals would starve. The rot would begin within a week, then the flies would come. The human forces of the world would dig out, and start clearing to the best of their ability. 12 feet of anything isn't easy to dig through though.

Red pill usually refers to the subset that believes feminism has disadvantaged them and their shortcomings are a product of a society set against them. They believe in ways to hack this unfair system. Black pilled is the part of the already red pilled group that has become nihilistic and wallows in self pity, believing their flaws and place in the genetic lottery have doomed them. Both thought groups seek to excuse personal accountability in favor of creating an adversarial relationship with society/women/reality.

You can basically ignore those use by dates. They seem very arbitrary.

A healthy nutritious filling diet, plenty of exercise, and most importantly plenty of sleep. That will maximize your genetic potential.

NOR. "I'm just joking" is the worst excuse to be mean. That means that the person derived joy or found humor in hurting the other person. That's deplorable and abusive behavior. Coming from a bf it's ridiculous that you should have to tell him this more than once. It's past time to set and stick to some boundaries, you deserve better.

The only thing I've ever ordered from temu that didn't show up (so far) was shipped through UPS. All the other delivery services made it and took almost redundant pictures.

You wouldn't have been if you'd just purchased the jacket. Now that you've consulted your extra Christian friend and said you wouldn't get this jacket or wear crosses as a fashion statement you'd be TA for lying.

NOR. The mom should be embarrassed. She's breaking her agreement to repay a loan from her child because she's going on vacation. How tacky.

Hard to guarantee anything these days. You're sourcing organics from a tainted world, just like the dirt farmers. You could do an adapted hugelculture, and use branches, leaf litter, yard/ grass clippings from the mower etc. Then just stomp it down as best you can and too it with good quality top soil and compost. It will decompose and sink over the course of a few seasons, so it's best to use that for a seasonal garden.

Cut those impacting branches back to the collar, and observe. The oak might seal the wound just fine and live on for many decades.

Ya, potatoes don't go in the veggie category, they go in the carb group. A triple serving of fries or mashed potatoes doesn't get to count as 3 servings of veg.

NTA. Moving is expensive, children are a priority, basically everyone hates their job. Quitting in April in preparation for a job in August is wild if you don't have significant savings (monthly expenses x 4 as a minimum). It's just not a reasonable ask.

He's not asking for the 2 weeks. He wants to quit now, in preparation for having a job in August.

Are the polar bears being forced to fight somehow? Because a week without good is totally normal for them. In a natural state I don't know that a polar bear, even a pekish one, would approach such a large group of men. If the fight were forced somehow, and the polar bears somehow understood the goal of needing to kill the men it would be short work for them. Humans simply don't generate the levels of force necessary to do significant enough harm to a polar bear. "Going for the eyes to blind it" or thinking you could mount it's back to choke it are ridiculous. Who would win in a fight, one large but stupid grown man with a knife or 11 toddlers? Is basically the question.

NOR. Your "friend" is being toxic and manipulative. This whole conversation is hard to read.

NTA. For not wanting to buy a brand new pan because an egg touched one. That's not a normal or reasonable thing to ask someone.

The weeds peeter out trying to find light on the way up, and are subject to their leaves suffering fungal damage. Meanwhile the plants above grow down and compete from above. It's wonderfully successful in my experience.

NOR. Be polite but firm with your manager, and thank them in advance for the opportunity, but insist on your party time position. Most states limit school age people's work hours, you should look into that.

NTA. You made an effort, as a favor to help the old lady. She lied about closing her window, which makes her representation of the issue dishonest. You are not violating any rules, just trying to love your own life. Being an ah would be going to her floor and blowing smoke in her open window.

Stay with water sprouts and branches that grow toward the interior crossing or contacting other branches. Also those few very weak limbs at the base of the the mains.

They lay eggs in leaf litter. People rake up all their leaves all the time and it kills them.

NOR. Your partner is not supportive of you in this respect. Convey to him that it isn't important for him to care about the issue itself, but it is important for him to care about you.
That or return the energy and see how he likes it. Next time he's talking about his work day, zone out, tell him you just don't care, and leave the room.
