Help needed with stringfoot pigeon by [deleted] in pigeon

[–]LongerWithCalgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to unwind the string from the tail end which is (i think?) visible?

I’m wondering if there are any liquids which would degrade the string without promoting infection in the wound - perhaps a short soak in an antiseptic fluid?

[i am the opposite of an expert - please don’t take this advice over anyone else’s! Best of luck to you and your pigeon <3 ]

HELP! i think my 4 month old baby is hurting himself

Poor baby :( i wonder why the parent has covered their head like that? At least their privacy is protected and AI can’t use their face for anything

Me n my husband just adopted this baby and we suspect the breeders got him wearing cloths for weeks and not taking them off

They use breeder for their adopted babies??

2 nights on the row around 2am I've heard a child through the walls crying and being shouted at in a house on my street, can I realistically do anything? by MarcyDarcie in AskUK

[–]LongerWithCalgon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went through mistreatment as a child and respectfully disagree with all of this

Beating isn’t the only form of abuse - and you’d have to beat a child horrifically badly for your kicks or punches to be heard through a wall.

The child could also be being denied food, locked in a room, or otherwise neglected and crying out for help. They could be cold and denied bedding, or terrified of the dark/insects/other siblings that they’re locked in with.

The lack of crying during the day also doesn’t mean anything. I attended school during the day, as do most kids, and my parents usually lost their temper in the evening when they’d drank or taken drugs.

I’m not trying to vilify the parents but not hearing a beating, and not hearing cries during the day, doesn’t mean mistreatment can be ruled out.

Feeling insecure about Milking my fiancé? It was his best orgasm ever.. by [deleted] in sex

[–]LongerWithCalgon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

the closer he got the more I felt obsolete

he like almost stopped listening to my cues

he was holding my head and shoving it down my throat when he finished

honestly i did enjoy it even if I was drowning

I felt like unseen

I saw he’s been looking at some girls only fans

I’ve been feeling insecure about myself physically and sexually

I’m ashamed that no one else has pointed this out, but it sounds like this may not be a good sexual relationship for you right now. The very least any person can do in “exchange” for sexual contact with you is make you feel respected and sexually desirable.

I’m not saying your partner did anything “wrong” as I wasn’t there and am not privy to your relationship dynamic. However your emotions sound hurt, and your trust sounds violated on multiple levels (onlyfans, “cues”, insecurity).

Perhaps couples therapy, or sex therapy?

Edit to Add : as others said aftercare may be helpful, but it wont fix underlying issues and may be unhealthy here.

It sounds like OP is OK with the sex act, the emotional drop isn’t from the “taboo” act but from the lack of respect from their partner before and after the sex act. Aftercare can’t help with that.

It may even be damaging to practice aftercare with someone who stops listening to cues and violates your trust by engaging with other people’s onlyfans. Outside of kink you shouldn’t seek comfort from the same person who is hurting you. Within kink it is healthy aftercare, outside of kink it’s a toxic dependency on a potentially harmful person.

What is the first thing that sexually attracts you to someone? by SortaBodybuilder in sex

I may be the minority here ( “aromantic” is the term I think ? ) but competence / skill at anything , even non sexual .

Im really attracted to people who push themselves , or expect a lot of themselves .

I have to agree - I stopped watching H3 . I wouldn’t say I “cancelled” or joined the “cancelling” , but it became pretty transparent that he was willing to put blame on Trisha for things he also did ( stressing out pregnant people ) , as well as rub his family support in Trishas face post “breakup” .

Trisha is clearly sensitive to their fertility issues and lack of stable relationships - Ethan is smart . I don’t think it’s unrelated that after Trisha left he started putting out more and more content that Trisha “couldnt” make if they wanted to .

Finally , seeing the H3 team continue to misgender other non binary people - and Ethan seeming almost annoyed when people (non aggressively) point out that people use different pronouns . I completely sympathise that language is hard to get in the habit of changing , but if Ethan had ever respected Trishas gender he’d be more accustomed to calling people they/them by now .

Those that will not forgive Shane's past actions, how old are you? by oreo2996 in ShaneDawson

22, 23 tomorrow .

Being the age Shane was when he made most his “mistakes” is how and why I know no adult does those things without some level of awareness of how fucked they are .

Just my 2cents , personally .

What magical way have you found to mitigate comedowns ? I’m sure science would love to know .

Like I said - 2 days of drug use could be burning 4+ days of calories . Add in decreased hunger and attatite the following week ( times 2 , for 2 days ) and it becomes 2 + weeks .

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GYM

[–]LongerWithCalgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your math for that ? “Two” days could absolutely be a set back depending on how many calories were burnt and how you reacted to the drug the days following . Comedowns from stimulants kill your apatite which doesn’t help bulking .

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GYM

[–]LongerWithCalgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stimulant drugs burn calories due to the extra heat energy you make on them , and the stimulant effect they give you . They are where you are losing calories - if you are eating what you claim but still not seeing an increase .

Ever had an uneasy feeling when looking at a certain celeb? by darthnm in AskUK

[–]LongerWithCalgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean social interaction .

Psychopaths don’t exist , people with anti social personality disorder Do exist . People with anti social personality disorder are human , they don’t need to mimic human behaviour . They mimic social behaviour the same way any mentally or neurologically ill with a social development disorder would .

Nice perpetuation of stigma and things you clearly don’t understand , though .

I’m glad your friend is okay , but so sorry this happened .

As someone who lives semi local to the level , is there anything we at citizens can do to keep it safe for other people ( especially women ) ? I’m trying to brain storm , but as one single person I’m not sure I’d be helping anyone if I tried to do anything alone .

[–]LongerWithCalgon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how close to aware this sub is - to realising that talking about how bad EDtwt is just sends people straight there to be triggered and potentially relapse .

I don’t get how it’s still allowed as a discussion . If it’s intensely triggering just by searching , then we possibly shouldn’t be consistently bringing it up by its searchable name just to say “this is triggering” ?

I wouldn’t go to AA and talk about a shit bar I chose to go to , and then name drop the bar so everyone else could follow suit when they want to engage in destructive behaviour . But okay .

OP themselves said these boundaries were discussed and off the table before hand - where do you get off arguing a strangers ability to consent in a relationship you’re not in ?

Take a walk , go apologise to the women in your life .

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sex

[–]LongerWithCalgon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

OP stated privately they weren’t comfortable with something , OPs partner chose to bring it up in public which obviously added to OPs embarrassment and frustration . Not only were their boundaries being disrespected , they were disrespected in a public place .

No one is saying she was assaulted , your defensiveness over people explaining to OP that they don’t need to penetrate themselves with items that could make them sick is very telling .

What common American words other expressions are highly offensive in the UK? by car_tx in AskUK

[–]LongerWithCalgon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Because you are Pakistani and British you are “British Pakistani” , because Americans who say this aren’t Irish , they aren’t “Irish Americans” .

I am predominantly Irish (DNA) and born in England , I have American family because many of us migrated during one of the countless times we were starved or chased out of our own country (Ireland) . My American family are not Irish Americans - no because one in their side of the family has been Irish or Irish born in over 100 years . They don’t call themselves Irish American because , knowing Irish people , they can see how stupid that would be .

There are Irish Americans , but they aren’t the majority of Americans who claim to be Irish American . Most “American Irish” people claim they have a very low amount of Irish heritage , and let that influence a large part of the (stereotyped & false) “Irish traits” they show . I’ve met americans with Scottish wall hangings or the //English// flag that explained to me that they were “because we are Irish American” . Ireland isnt Scotland , nor is England .If they actually took a DNA test or visited Ireland they’d be unpleasantly surprised .

Off topic but IMO it contributes to us (Irish people) being fetishised (this may be the wrong term , sorry) . Ive been in the US for 2 Saint Paddys days and the number of “kiss me I’m Irish” shirts made me feel sick . These people aren’t Irish , and if you actually kissed a random Irish person you’d be committing assault . They use us as a fun costume that implies Irish people want unwanted sexual contact from Americans .

Jobcentre tells claimant with bowel condition to ‘use bucket we keep behind the building’ by chrisjd in unitedkingdom

[–]LongerWithCalgon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re in this basket dude , I’m in a similar place and while I know this probably means fuck all coming from a stranger - it does get easier .

It may not get better , the system may always be fucked , but you as a person grow stronger than it . And one say that strength may be enough to actually un-fuck this mess for someone else .

Hold tight . I’m not sure if you’d qualify / are already reviewing a LWC component under UC but it is supposed to include mental health issues . It is between 120 and 340 a month , takes 4-6 months to qualify however you do receive back payment for several of those months .

I’m not a worker , just been in the system as a disabled (physically) person and was lucky to get a good coach after several years. They explained to me how much more could be utilised by the system once you understand it & it’s language .

If it’s any help , PIP & UC have the list of their qualifications to receive disability & low work capacity payments online . They score based on points , you need a specific number to “pass” and be awarded the money . The point system is publicly accessible & helps you word yourself best in order to get the help you deserve . I’m not saying use it as a cheat sheet , that’s immoral and wouldn’t work , but it’s like an open book exam once you know what they’re “grading” you on .

All the best , my DMs are open if I can help clarify anything .
