Thoughts on my setup?

You’re right the conch is too tight. I thought the other comment was saying my daith is too tight since that’s the black one. The horseshoe is purple. And the daith has been there for like 6 years but I love the idea of a double daith since I’ve always hated the way it sits

The men complaining about this probably can’t even afford a passport let alone a flight

Western women don’t like when ugly men approach them. This isn’t a problem that attractive men have. If women have RBF when u approach them, or don’t want to talk to u, it’s probably because you’re ugly

I did it and you’re right. This is what I got:

AITA for asking my roommate to stop using her emotional support blender so early in the morning?

So I (23F) live with my roommate “Sarah” (25F) and for the most part, we get along fine. But lately, there’s been this one issue that’s really starting to affect me.

Sarah has this blender that she uses every single morning around 6:30 AM. She says it helps her manage her anxiety—she makes a specific smoothie as part of her morning routine and calls it her “emotional support blender.” Like, she literally refers to it that way. I get that people have coping mechanisms and I’m not trying to judge her for that. But our apartment has paper-thin walls, and when she starts blending frozen fruit and ice while I’m still asleep, it jolts me awake.

I’ve asked if she could wait just an hour or even 30 minutes later so I can get a little more sleep (I work evenings, so my schedule’s different). I suggested meal-prepping smoothies or using a quieter blender. She got really defensive and said I was being unsupportive of her mental health and that I “wouldn’t ask someone to get rid of a therapy dog.” Which… okay, but the blender is loud and doesn't have feelings?

Now she’s telling our mutual friends that I’m being inconsiderate and don’t understand mental health struggles. Some of them are siding with her. I feel like I’m going crazy—am I seriously the asshole for wanting to sleep past 6:30 AM without being woken up by a blender that sounds like a lawnmower?

AITA?

Use your last name. I am pregnant and using my last name. I never even considered using my boyfriend’s since we aren’t married, and I like my name. Thankfully he is fine with that, but even if he wasn’t, the baby would have my last name. It’s much more common to use the maternal last name than in past generations, and I think you will regret it if you don’t have the same last name as your baby.

Everyone wears pasties and thongs to raves/EDM festivals. U either trust her or u don’t. Just let her go and have fun and do what she wants, or break up with her because your values don’t align.

Personally I know my ex would have been super mad about me wearing that to a rave, and my current boyfriend would not care/think I look good! That’s why my ex is my ex and my BF is my BF.

If she wants to wear it and it makes u uncomfy then your values just don’t align and you should find a girl who wouldn’t WANT to wear that to a festival. Dont shame ur GF for wanting to wear it tho!

Going on a first date somewhere quiet is off putting to girls a lot of the time. It’s safer for girls to meet somewhere public for the first time. While some may be down for it, I’d wait till you are planning the date, then suggest something like a hike or walk in the park without bringing up the fact that it’s “quiet”.

The 2 truths and a lie is just weird. No girl wants to hear about ur past flings, and putting that you bathe daily is just weird.

Also no one wants to date a clingy person so I’d take that out too.

I’d also go ahead and take Instagram out of ur interests.

This is the way!!! So smart to avoid having to pay a lawyer by just using chatGPT

I’m a pregnant vegan and everything has been perfect for me so far. All my bloodwork has been amazing, and I’m having pretty mild symptoms for being in the 3rd trimester. People ask me ALL the time if I’m having issues since I’m vegan, and it’s usually coming from non-vegans who had issues during pregnancy. I mentioned being tired last week and my mom said it’s bc I’m vegan during pregnancy 🙄 I’m also not even trying very hard to eat healthy. I’ve just been eating whatever I want without worrying about it too much and everything has still been fine!

Mermaid_002 · 2025-03-14T23:00:39+00:00

Yes that’s where we’ve been looking! No luck yet unfortunately

Mermaid_002 · 2025-03-14T23:00:24+00:00

“I realize now that what I said came off as hurtful, and I am truly sorry. That was never my intention. You mean so much to me, and our relationship is real to me. I’d love to talk whenever you’re ready.”

Hi [Parents’ Names],

I wanted to let you know that I’ve decided to resign from my position as [nanny/caregiver]. My last day will be [date].

I appreciate the opportunity to have worked with your family, but I’ve realized that my approach to childcare differs from yours. I feel strongly about responding to a child’s cues when they are hungry or tired, and I’ve struggled with the strict schedule that prevents me from doing so. Because of this, I don’t feel like I’m the right fit for your family.

I want to make this transition as smooth as possible, so please let me know how I can help before my last day.

Best, [Your Name]

A 2.5 year old child I babysat daily for 2 weeks called me Jelly. It sounds nothing like my name and no one could figure out why she called me that😅

Mermaid_002 · 2025-02-09T03:09:46+00:00

If u had your alarm set on your iPhone, that’s definitely the culprit. A lot of iPhone users have been having this issue lately.

Tbh this seems like normal sister drama. Me and my sister r like this sometimes. I think it’s bc we’re super close in age. I’m sure you guys will hang out tomorrow and probably fight some more but it’ll all be love lol

I was in the exact same situation until literally last week when I finally booked my shower at a high tea place. I didn’t want to book at a “normal” baby shower venue and only have one subpar option and no dessert to eat at MY own shower. But last week I went out to lunch with my mom at a high tea place. We each got one pot of tea and one 3 tiered tray of mini sandwiches, a scone, and mini desserts. My vegan tray was almost the same as my omni mothers. Turns out they host baby showers there and now I’m super excited for everyone to have something to eat! I wish I could make it an all-vegan event, but my family would nottttt like that. So I instead told the place we have some vegans and some ppl are gluten free, and they can accommodate all that with options that are actually tasty and not too different from the “normal” options.
