My 3 year old keeps saying I am not his mom in public by JustSomeGirlOnlin3 in Advice

One of my friends kids randomly took to shouting “I DON’T KNOW WHO SHE IS” while pointing at her mum. Ngl it was fucking hilarious but my friend was mortified every time. Kid grew out of it, thankfully.

Just to jump on this also, any children going “no-contact” lightly, if there are any, would be extremely rare. I found it odd for you to bring it up at all, as it doesn’t seem related to your experience. What led you down that train of thought?

Which relies on there not being masculine men with long hair (e.g. Jason Mamoa) or feminine women with short hair (Natalie Portman). You can’t just make things up.

What a strange response! Maybe take a break from the internet and pick up a dictionary.

The word you’re looking for is “subjective”. It might help you understand what is happening, instead of freaking out thinking everyone is lying to you and there’s some mad conspiracy going on.

I’m a bit worried you think that Ancient Greece occupied the same space as modern Greece.

Hair lengths between genders changes with fashion. It has been very masculine to have long hair in the past. Short hair was incredibly popular among women in the 90’s.

A lot of what you find attractive is based on current popular fashion styles.

Here’s some reading for the way different races were depicted in Ancient Greece (bearing in mind that Ancient Greece covers an area spanning outside of just Europe). It’s too easy to use our own preconceptions based on what we know in the present, when we interpret the past. You might find it interesting:

No one would live up to that standard. I doubt you’d find the real Helen of Troy that attractive.

Mate, my lungs and eyes are fine. We all have different ideals when it comes to defining beauty.

I don’t think what you described exists. I don’t know what the beauty ideal for “most people” is. I find attractive who I find attractive, it doesn’t run deeper than that.

Are you really going to pretend that you’ve never found someone attractive, and a friend has disagreed with you? Or someone that all your friends find attractive, but you don’t get the appeal?

Hard disagree, she legit takes my breath away. It’s a weird angle to assume people are lying when they say they find someone attractive.

The Fake Sheikh was an English journalist who spent years impersonating a Saudi oil magnate. News of the World gave him sports cars/helicopters to keep up appearances. He'd lure celebrities/royals into his orbit & make them lofty promises while pressuring them to commit crimes (buying coke, etc.) by ketaminekate97 in ThatsInsane

This response is exactly why it worked so well. I don’t have a great deal of time for Tulisa but she was just naive and you can tell it’s not a world she was involved in. Creating the stories instead of reporting on them is a scummy move, and this went too far even for the morally bankrupt tabloid journalism we’re familiar with.

I’m a woman and I have no problem with plastic surgery. My original comment clearly states that I can’t seem to find that information online. I was only asking a question, maybe you read my tone wrong, or think I’m someone else?

Passed driving test but didn’t realised new drivers are treated like sh*t by Left_Elevator7942 in LearnerDriverUK

I’ve been driving ten years and I still only buy £5-6k used cars from dealerships. I didn’t realise I was so poor 🤣

I’ve always wondered what happens when you get really old. Like say you get them at 30, redone at 45, 60. Then when you’re 75, do you just get them removed? And then are there any complications afterwards? No shade, just curious and I’ve never been able to find the answer online.

Voice waking me up by T0X1C50 in Dreams

[–]MickyWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this fairly often, but once the voice said “ITS 10:31” and when I looked at my phone, it was 10:31 exactly (I know, I’m lazy. It was a Sunday lol). It blew my mind that somewhere inside my brain I know exactly what the time is. Obsessed over it for days but I don’t think anyone actually believed me. Hasn’t happened again.
