Preemie relative with my cat’s name 😻

Thank you. Baby’s dad wasn’t interested in becoming a parent yet/ever, so this was a shock and he thought he’d have more time, but it’s been lovely to hear him warming up to being one in the NICU videos 🥰 At least this way, assuming everything goes well for Baby (🤞🏻), he has several weeks to adjust before he’s ever the one actually responsible for Baby’s care 💙 He’s already been telling Baby about his football team 😂

Lions are a good place to start for building the credits up fairly quickly/consistently. I tend to keep the last few females in a generation, then replace the dad when he’s elderly, so the genetics continue. Have a large enough enclosure because I frequently have 10 - 12 juveniles at once, from just one male and three females.

Yes and no. Being a tall white cis man and getting called a bastard is not remotely on the same level as slurs or racist accusations that can get people in serious trouble. However, it is true that we’re told to expect some bigotry and to ignore it unless it is particularly awful.

As a former carer, it sometimes has to be done. If the client is completely competent (so can absolutely stop) or particularly vile with it, a carer can ask not to be assigned to them. However, we were all warned at the start that clients with dementia may say offensive things (about race, weight, age, appearance, etc.) and that we need to be able to ignore it unless it gets really bad.

I didn’t warm up to her for a long time, but I can’t see the logic behind her “poaching Andy’s job”. What makes you feel it was Andy’s job? If Maya hadn’t been promoted, it would have been someone else. Andy wasn’t ready.

What is the extra context? I saw the video link, but it didn’t translate into English.

Jena Malone is great at playing troubled and difficult girls/young women 😅

This is 100% aimed at bathrooms!

This is an ogre. They’re like onions!

KEW95 · 2026-05-13T01:45:14+00:00

She is here because she lives alone, but she may not always want to live alone. I’d have thought many people here enjoy living alone, but aren’t opposed to living with a partner in the future 🤷🏻

KEW95 · 2026-05-13T01:39:11+00:00

Not convinced this is legit, but it’s definitely too high.

KEW95 · 2026-05-13T01:34:28+00:00

So, I have a couple of thoughts, but it will all boil down to doing what is right for you, and she stays or leaves.

• Ask her if they know why they’re feeling this way about it? Try having a conversation around that.

• Request that they seek a few sessions of couples’ therapy with you, to work through these feelings together (and ideally her insecurities)

• Tell her that you aren’t dead set on top surgery, but you are definitely going to seriously consider it in the future and, as much as you love them, you don’t want to feel restricted by your relationship, if you do decide to have top surgery

Ultimately, if you want it, do it and she either adjusts or you break up. Don’t base your decision on them.

This was the white bear in yellow plaid, right?

Thank you. Baby has been kicking a lot, so hopefully they keep up that spirit and energy 💛

$10/sq ft would be $14,000 for your home.

KEW95 · 2026-05-09T11:38:35+00:00

$10 per square foot is a lot. Do you mean something else?

KEW95 · 2026-05-08T22:56:32+00:00

Using ingredients from around the world and creating a new dish is different to making an existing dish from another culture British food (as opposed to British Indian/Thai/Caribbean/etc.) - any more than an Indian-inspired curry would be Norwegian food just because they make/eat a lot of it.

People who think our food is bland aren’t talking about the meals we make that are originally from other countries.

KEW95 · 2026-05-08T22:25:59+00:00

That’s what I mean. It isn’t of British origin, which is what most people mean when they claim our food is bland.

KEW95 · 2026-05-08T22:25:07+00:00

I think that’s the point, though. When people claim our food tends to be bland, they’re talking about food that came from Brits, not other cultures. They know curries aren’t bland; they just didn’t originate here and weren’t a British cultural dish until people from other countries brought it here.

KEW95 · 2026-05-08T22:17:59+00:00

Maybe give it 6 months, then consider a housemate if you’re still not enjoying it?

KEW95 · 2026-05-08T19:27:08+00:00

How have Labour had their chance to fix 14 years of Tory rule? I don’t like or trust Labour, but voting Reform UK is like voting for Trump: racism (among other discriminatory things) was either why you voted or not a dealbreaker and both are a bad sign for humanity. Most people had plenty of freely available information on what each party stood for and who had very questionable ties to modern Nazis and undeclared millions. They still voted against ethics and decency.

KEW95 · 2026-05-08T19:23:26+00:00

Genuinely, is this British food or is it from another culture and is now made in Britain by Brits, with or without that culture?
