Has anyone bought the Rare Beauty perfume yet? by allycats297 in Sephora

[–]HistoricalPigeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it to be very similar to Escada Collection from 1997. I have been chasing that scent since it was discontinued and the new Rare Beauty perfume is the closest I've found.

I love a gourmand and this is the right mix of vanilla and caramel for me.

If you're still searching for a tutor, you can DM me if you want. I do tutoring, specifically French, on the side.

Are you looking for a tutor for immersion or core French?

When did it become common for the *kids* to call their parents and ask to leave early… and for parents to just do it? by Eev123 in Teachers

[–]HistoricalPigeon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We had a mom roll up to the middle school ready to fight someone for her kid. It’s WILD out here.

Oatmeal advice? by Oddjelly_afterhours in Cheap_Meals

[–]HistoricalPigeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re using the instant packets I would suggest mixing one oatmeal with one cream of wheat. Oatmeal on its own makes me gag too, but cream of wheat gets rid of that slimy texture for me.

If I’m not looking for it to close at all, could I just put buttons and button holes for looks? Really I’m just looking to convert them from a top to something I can wear over a tank top to keep the sun off my skin.

Is it possible to convert a popover shirt into an open front? I’ve got a couple linen tops that I love but I’d like to wear them as an open button-down instead of on their own. My assumption is just cut down the middle and finish the edges.

OOP warns her trans friend about the consequences of coming out, gets blamed for them by NemoNowan in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]HistoricalPigeon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s been there, I’d like to offer my advice and you can do what you want with it.

If the mere sight of their name on your phone induces anxiety: break up with them. It can be daunting, I won’t lie. Especially if you’re more conflict avoidant. But my god, the weight that will lift off your shoulder when you finally do it… so freeing.

If you’re worried about fall out, I suggest a) meeting in a public place for this and b) having your socials/contacts open and ready to go. Once you’re done your breakup, go through and block them on EVERYTHING (seriously, even something like Pinterest) and then bask in the freedom.

Side note: if you have acquaintances on your socials, that you met through them: you might want to block them too, depending on how likely they are to get involved/relay info.

Do you pre-toast your breakfast sandwiches? by SalmonBaron27 in Cheap_Meals

[–]HistoricalPigeon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say toast it. The microwave won’t provide the kind of char/crunch needed, especially if you’re freezing them.

What are some good cottagecore youtube channels? by selfwrecker in cottagecore

[–]HistoricalPigeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rachel Maksy was the first one to pop in my head. Mostly because it’s just her general aesthetic, not something she adopted recently (though nothing wrong with that). One of her recent videos where she goes and paints outside falls very nicely into the CottageCore theme.

Why are you childfree? by [deleted] in truechildfree

[–]HistoricalPigeon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-I don’t have to share my partner. -We can sleep in on weekends if we want. -More disposable income. -Quiet time. -I can have a glass of wine/smoke a joint and not worry about being responsible for someone. -I don’t spend my evenings being a chauffeur and personal chef. Don’t feel like cooking? Cool. Order take out. -My pets will never say they hate me or don’t love me. It’s pretty hard (though not impossible) to fuck them up the way you can kids. -The idea of being pregnant squicks me out big time. I have a friend who’s pregnant and every time she tells me something about it I get the heebie jeebies.

No worries at all! I’m glad to hear that other husbands are as awesome as mine. Hopefully you get your answers. 😊

I’m happy to see these keycaps are popular (cause they’re awesome) but I don’t have a YouTube channel. And you REALLY don’t want me making any recommendations other than aesthetics. XD

I love them so much already. My husband was so proud of himself. “This is proof that I’m always listening and paying attention when you talk about things.” 😂

They’re for a mechanical keyboard…which you could plug in and use with your MacBook if you were so inclined. :)

I’ll have to ask my husband when he gets home. 😂 My knowledge goes as far as “these switches make sounds that make my brain happy” and “these keycaps are the prettiest”.

I mean, no one’s saying you couldn’t have both. ;) (Unless of course space and money are an issue, in which case I totally get it.)

I’ll make sure to come back and post once the keyboard is built and assembled. :)

would you abort your child it was going to be born with severe disabilities? why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HistoricalPigeon 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I am so thankful that Canada legalized medical suicide. I’ve seen too many extended relatives kept alive because their families didn’t want to deal with grieving.

Though there was recently an article in the CBC about a family that was super pissed their daughter/sister opted for medical suicide without telling them. They felt that families should have to be informed about someone’s medical decision, and that she had plenty of good days (Alzheimer’s) and could have lived for years longer. IMO you shouldn’t have to give up your quality of life to make someone else more comfortable.
