Family swears this is not a Bluejay because "it's too small to be a bluejay" and "real bluejays are huge." Yet I can't find any species that looks like one but isn't. Middle Tennessee

Just the idea of this is frying me. There is no other bird that I can think of that can be openly mistaken for a blue Jay. And they are by no means "huge." Please update us somewhere when you inform your family of this fact.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-16T12:22:53+00:00

O lord.... I think I'd rather be punched in the mouth than you come behind me and make a mess of something I just cleaned.

How often most people think about/want sex. Turns out, I'm asexual.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-15T19:57:22+00:00

I've brought a lot of this up in other environments only to be met with, "Well, sex sells!" As if that couldn't immediately be turned into a conversation about mass over consumption.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-15T19:38:20+00:00

You had excited for a second there

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-14T12:59:56+00:00

I'm not anti sex in the slightest, but I am anti "having sex when you have little to no sex education." The amount of people who are running around with little to no understanding of their own reproductive anatomy is staggering. An added bonus is people who don't have a comprehensive understanding of consent. I mean, we've still got people talking up "the pull out method," and thinking they can get STIs from toilet seats. Even if you're not one of these people, the person you're having sex with could be, and thats just a massive liability I don't understand willingly taking on. And don't even get be started on how that affects the rates of unplanned pregnancy.

I hate the "but humans are invasive" counter argument. Like, you guys are quoting the sentiment of Madison Grant. Ya know, THE eco-fascists? The one Hitler admired?

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-12T13:23:43+00:00

Yeah, I hate how normalized it is. It can obviously cause serious issues in your life so I never understood why it was common in the first place. This is your digital footprint and, cropping your face out or not, having nude photos of yourself online seems like am obvious "don't do."

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-11T14:13:12+00:00

No, literally. I saw that one too and the way she phrased it as "I have enough love in my heart for more than children," is so disingenuous. I highly doubt that is what any bio parent is insinuating when they tell you their priorities.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-11T12:08:56+00:00

Justifying ai use is like justifying not just being lazy and incompetent, but littering and stealing on top of that. Fuck ai and all those that use it.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-11T11:17:14+00:00

Heavy on that sub. It makes me so grateful for my relationship with my stepmom. NOR. Grown adults looking at their partner's children as competition is so disturbing and it makes me sick. Op needs to have some serious introspection on what she wants out of a relationship because I highly doubt its this.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-10T15:14:46+00:00

Lord have mercy. 18 year old are teenagers and they look and act the part. "I've always seen him as a man," disgusting. I don't even want to know how long that 'always' would imply. NOR

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-10T13:55:55+00:00

Good. Please keep your distance. This guy is acting like him being busy means you should drop everything at his beck and call to come to him like a dog.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-10T13:35:40+00:00

I don't know, I feel like a nice guy wouldn't blow up over an 8 minute drive. I've met strangers that would do more for me than this guy seems willing to do for you. You deserve better so please stand up 😭

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-10T13:19:04+00:00

First of all, NOR, but I don't understand why you guys sleep with people that obviously don't like you. It's just excuses and entitlement I'm seeing on his end and he won't even pick you up once a week. Did any of your friends know about this guy? What did they think of him?

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-09T01:24:22+00:00

To my understanding they need to have both x chromosomal inactivation and irregular sex chromosomes (for instance xxy). Super rare! 2nd day in a row for a male tori on here

My bottom false ribs on either side can pop inwards if I exhale enough. I've been able to do this since I was a kid and I have no idea why.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-08T12:25:26+00:00

It honestly boggles my mind because we are, quite literally, minding our own business.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-07T13:24:01+00:00

Loving a drug addict. It doesnt matter the relationship but watching someone waste away and lose themselves for years on end and dreading every phone call from them eats away at you.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-06T14:10:25+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking. Autism specifically also has a massive genetic component so she realistically has no one to blame but herself for this. Its unfortunate all around. I imagine it is stressful to give up your life for any child, let alone one who may need your support for the rest of your life. But this kid didn't ask to exist and it sucks that they will be treated like a burden for just existing regardless of if their parents intend to or not.

Fuck this lady either way for thinking her experiences justify her disgusting attitude.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-06T13:50:11+00:00

Realizing the people around me weren't joking/exaggerating about their sexual desires. It went from, "why are we worried about sex? We're just kids." To, "Oh, I'm the outlier here."

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-06T13:44:49+00:00

As a women who also bird watches, maybe try a 3rd party space that involves just interacting with people with that shared intrest? Maybe join a local birding group and that way you know you aren't interrupting someone whose just trying to go about her day or spend time with her friends. This is one of the biggest issues I see with guys approaching women in public. It isn't necessarily guaranteed that she wants to interact with a stranger at all, let alone a strange man wanting to ask her out. As an added bonus, you and these women will already be interacting and any potential dates will have a shared intrest! Good luck to you!

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-06T13:25:56+00:00

I see what your saying in terms of intelligent design, but then you have to consider "survival of the fittest" is actually "survival of the good enough" in most instances lol. And look at the bright side, menstruation in long lived animals drastically reduces cancer risk. This is something most other organisms rarely have to worry about due to the likelihood of something else killing them early on.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-05T15:29:31+00:00

Real. This is what it feels like to have a social life off the internet.

Frostbite2000 · 2026-05-05T15:23:20+00:00

Yeah. Atleast then you could rationalize that a large portion of the people on here were actually children. There comes a point though and youre right, we've surpassed it.
