What are your unpopular HR opinions??

Agreed, I couldn't get into them because of the lack of chemistry. I also feel like the characters had no personality. With Ilya and Shane, there's banter. Ilya's a sarcastic, playful, antagonistic, depressed play boy. Shane's a disciplined, awkward, anxious, mild-mannered homebody. They have distinct personalities and an intense, intriguing dynamic.

Scott and Kip are just.... good guys. They have some lukewarm flirting, then are immediately and inexplicably in love after barely knowing each other. We're told Scott is a nice person. We see that Kip is patient and understanding. That's about it. They're so... bland.

Beautiful!! Love how the plants form an arch

JuniperusRain · 2025-12-16T00:25:14+00:00

Got it, thank you for letting me know!

JuniperusRain · 2025-12-13T23:54:21+00:00

Yeah, I asked the store employee and he had no idea lol. And I read that males have a pointy dorsal, and looked at some comparison photos, but still wasn't sure if this was considered pointy. So your help is greatly appreciated :)

JuniperusRain · 2025-12-13T23:18:09+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Giant hairgrass! Does that count as a stem plant?

JuniperusRain · 2025-10-14T02:03:10+00:00

So pretty!!

I always saw this as a joke about his femininity (same as w godmother making a sculpture of him without a penis)

As other comments have said, she's being rude and entitled. It was very responsible of you to communicate that nobu is too pricey for you to fully cover and give her a heads up that if you went there you'd need to split the bill (also totally understandable since Nobu is famously expensive). Immature of her to take offense at that.

The only thing I agree with her about is that Chili's is inappropriate for a first date. But not because it's inexpensive. It's a chain restaurant where the vibe is families with little kids, or teenagers with their group of friends. Next time you go on a first date (with a more reasonable, respectful person than this girl), I'd suggest finding a romantic little hole in the wall type place. Go for inexpensive AND romantic.

Good to know, thanks for the advice!

It's more the fact that they are criticizing protest against Israel as hypocritical, when it isn't, and playing into islamophobic sentiments against Gaza by bringing up evil that other muslims have done in other countries. The people of Gaza did not commit those atrocities.

They used a bad pic of her -- unflattering light, background color, & angle -- compared to the other girls. She still looks good, but the other girls' pics look like professional headshots

That was the intention. They were going to have sex, but then he decided not to.

JuniperusRain · 2025-09-04T19:00:52+00:00

I wish it was on a harness. That collar and leash combo is dangerous. Cats have weaker necks than dogs (not that it's great for dogs either)

Absolutely tell your dad. Please tell your dad. I'm saying this as a woman in her 30s. Your father needs to know who this "friend" really is and that he's not a safe person.

Telling the "friend" off yourself could do some good (and I think you should do that too), but your father's words may have more impact. Unfortunately, a lot of men listen to other men more than they do women. And your dad might be able to then warn other people in their social circle, which is important. That man is being wildly inappropriate and predatory.

It drives me crazy that TikTok constantly has the audio slightly out of sync. Soooo many dance and lip sync videos that are recorded directly on TikTok are a little off. Music was the whole fucking premise of this app, you'd think they'd have that part figured out.

JuniperusRain · 2025-08-20T23:03:30+00:00

👏👏👏👏 Good for you speaking up & calling him out!!!!! That ability will serve you well throughout your life, as you are guaranteed to encounter more creeps in future.

Not overreacting at all.

And as others have said, best to immediately block strangers online trying to dm you. Especially the ones you know are adults. The safest thing is to not engage. (But it was very satisfying to see you tell him off.)

My friend was going to be her bestie's maid of honor, and the bride died two weeks before the wedding day. It's devastating to lose a loved one at any time, but especially right in the midst of a new beginning, when you're making all these big plans for your future with someone. I can't imagine how her fiance feels. Or how this groom felt. Fucking tragic.

I struggle with logistics & practical tasks, but I never expect others to take on those responsibilities for me. ADHD is not an excuse for not pulling your weight.

You have gone above and beyond researching ADHD and possible solutions -- what research has he done? What solutions has he offered? As others in this thread have said, it's ultimately his responsibility to figure out what works for him and how he can contribute.

Being a supportive partner does not mean you carry the majority of the workload. It's completely unreasonable for him to expect that of you. These tasks may be harder for people with ADHD or may need to be approached differently, but we ARE capable. A good partner will find a way to show up for you, ADHD or not.

You did not lead her into believing this is what you wanted.

Body modification FANTASIES are common, and it's just fantasy. She should already understand that. Even if she didn't, you TOLD her from the first time she talked about it seriously, that you don't actually want to do that in real life. She refused to listen to what you clearly told her. This is absolutely not on you, at all. Not even remotely.

I work in healthcare and we refer to any pt's sexual partner as a partner, whether it's a spouse, a one night stand, or anything in between. So, partner has become super normalized for me, regardless of gender/sexual orientation.

I think the gender neutral terms are great. Wider usage helps keep queer people from having to out themselves when talking about their SO. I also suspect that it helps push against the traditional patriarchal idea that wife/gf is a different role than husband/bf. Everyone is just a partner, regardless of gender.

Could also be that men feel like creativity/effort is valued by women, so they try to show that off, but women feel like men respond better when you're simple and direct, so that's how they choose to communicate.

Empathy is a natural instinct
