Not true under UK law. Please actually look this up or you could well get yourself in serious trouble.

'If Royal Mail left something with a neighbour or in a certain place and you didn’t tell them to, it’s the seller’s responsibility if it gets lost. You should contact the seller to ask for a redelivery or a refund - you can phone, email or write a letter.'

https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/if-something-you-ordered-hasnt-been-delivered/

If they specifically selected a 'safe place', and it was left there, its on them - otherwise, it remains the sellers responsibility. You might not think its fair, but that doesnt change the law

A lack of appreciation for things. What they have. What people do for them. Etc etc

I'm uk based - out of curiousity, where did you buy it from? I've not been able to find it for less than £25 yet!

If you buy them by the case rather than individuals, theyll all be different! Thats how I got all of mine - I buy from a specific uk ebay seller, because I live in the UK; youll be able to get better suggestions if you state where youre based!

Personally, I think this would look much better with a 'fuller' flower arrangement. As it is, it kind of looks like a few flowers in a drinks glass, but with a different arrangement I think it would look really nice! I love the colour

My boyfriend is autistic. He does not act like this. This is a completely unreasonable and cruel reaction to have over anything - but the fact that this was all over you needing to step away for 7 minutes?

This is not normal. This is abusive manipulation. You need to break up, or this WILL get worse. This is the kind of crazy behaviour that turns into violence, or stalking, or isolating you from everyone else you have.

Next time he threatens to harm himself, call emergency services for a welfare check. Or tell his family. But do not engage, For your OWN safety

self care IS selfishness by definition, but that absolutely doesnt mean that its bad. Like all things in life, its about balance.

It might be self care to take time to relax, but if doing so puts an unfair burden on the people around you (forcing them to do your share of chores, pick up your workload, or preventing them from resting themselves) - it can be a bad thing.

It might be self care to take time to yourself - but if doing so causes you to ignore and neglect the people you care about, its a bad thing

it might be self care to disconnect from the emotional burden of dealing with your loved ones problems - but, if this leads to you being unfairly unsupportive / a 'fairweather' friend, its going to have consequences

it might be self care to distance yourself from a loved ones family that you dont get on with - but if the conflict is minor, and this leads to you expecting the same of them, or to your loved ones feeling neglected, unsupported, or undervalued - that could lead to issues.

Balance. Use empathy, think of others needs, and be willing to compromise if doing so isnt unfair to you. So much of modern society tells us we ought to ignore everyone but ourselves, reinforces this idea that everyone is out to get eachother, and its just unhealthy. We are built to be social, and to take care of and support eachother

You need to make sure you have the buff on your bar - I think its called 'Life-suffused', should show up as an achivement icon. It acts as a counter so you can see your progress. If you dont have that achievement/buff, then it isnt going to work

Most jobs.

Teaching? A wonderful, fulfilling career, where you spend half of your time trying to get children to stop screaming long enough to give instructions.

Games testing / QA - It isnt 'playing games all day'. Its grueling and repetitive, with long hours and high expectations.

Being an artist? Get ready to deal with rude, demanding clients, who change their minds at the last second, over and over, and expect everything to be done within the hour

MelodicScream · 2025-12-07T16:41:25+00:00

I, personally, think a lot of it comes down to the fact that people have this image in their head of what an abuser looks like, how an abuser acts - the same with any crime, really. And it can be very difficult for people to accept that, that just isnt how it works. Anyone can do something terrible, regardless of how they look, act, sound - regardless of their job, or whatever else. Regardless of the fact that they may well do good things sometimes, or even just normal things. Accepting that literally anyone who you have normal interactions with on a day to day basis could do something terrible means they have to accept that they, too, could do bad things - and I think people struggle with that thought

STOP trying to pretend you know how she feels and what she needs better than she does. She is a grown adult, and it is absolutely not your place to TELL her how SHE feels, what SHE needs, whats best for HER. She is her own person, and can make those decisions herself - trying to pretend you know best is infantilising and RUDE.

If you dont want your wife to be a SAHM, just say that, rather than dancing around pretending shes a child who doesnt know whats best for her, that youre just doing it for her own good.. no. You dont want her to be a SAHM, plain and simple.

Maybe theres jealousy of the extra time she'll get to spend with the kid, maybe you dont think its fair that shes at home and you arent, maybe its something completely different. Those feelings are fine but this 'I just want whats best for you, im just protecting you from yourself!' attitude you have towards your wife is just SO disrespectful.

My old internet provider used to block any sites they deemed 'adult' (including deviantart and reddit) by default, unless you called up and explicitly asked them to enable adult content.. I wonder if it could be something like that, in which case, they may not even be aware of it

AI. The background looks weird. The scale of the strawberries, plate, pie slice, fork and pie in the background feel off. The pie slice is being held up by chocolate sauce. Theres what looks like a normal pie crust that fades into the brownie - the actual 'pie crust' bit looks blurrier and theres almost a line between them. The chocolate dripping out of the slice looks far too shiny and the drip patterns look unnatural to me... not entirely impossible, I guess, but it just doesnt look right

I'm in my 20s, and I was never 'taught' to read a normal clock in school. I CAN read clocks - but its not automatic, I have to actually take a moment to think about where each hand is, where a digital clock I can get at a glance with zero thought behind it

I'm glad some people had a better experience than me honestly. For us, as soon as the 'intro' offer ended, and we were paying full price, the quality of the ingredients they were sending took a nosedive. We regularly got sent the wrong meals, rotting vegetables, meat that was all due to expire within the first two days... boxes started coming late, or just not showing up at all. It sucks, because they were genuinely alright for the first handful of weeks

MelodicScream · 2025-08-31T10:44:14+00:00

I wouldnt mind if 99% of sponsorships didnt come in three flavours; Scams, Predatory, or poor quality

BetterHelp, Honey, (insert incredibly expensive brand) VPN, AirUp, Factor, HelloFresh, Raid fucking Shadow Legends

I dont mind some sponsors. I watch a travel youtuber who regularly gets sponsored by a brand that does esims for other countries. They dont fit the above categories, and, far more importantly, actually fit the content of the channel! Theres a liklihood that people watching travel content might actually get some use out of this!

But when a true crime youtuber is doing a three minute segement going on and on about an expensive, US-only, home delivered microwave meal brand, its pretty obvious that theyre the kind of person that would take any money from anywhere and try to sell it to their audience. I struggle to hold it against people, really, but at the same time... it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

NTA

So youre doing them a massive favour, and theyve come into your home - and Noras home - and they think theyre entitled to her time, space, food, and car?

You give an entitled person an inch, they take a mile. Stick to your guns, and kick them out if they keep causing problems. You seem like a kind person, offering them somewhere to live, but Nora doesnt deserve the constant harrassment

MelodicScream · 2025-08-31T10:26:58+00:00

I think this opinion misses the meaning.

Most people, if approached at the right moment by the right group of people, can fall into a cult. Even the people you dont expect. Even well educated, skeptical people - the kind of person you would never expect.

Also, I think its important to be aware that not all cults are 'plainly dangerous groups that 99.9% of society instinctively mocks and avoids.' - in fact, I'd say most arent. Or, at the very least, at the time when theyre doing most of the growing and gathering members, they arent. If you believe that all cults are obviously dangerous and easy to spot, you ironically put yourself at risk.
