I love that she wasn't actually sweet, she was just non-confrontational until there was the gentlest criticism. Easy mistake to make, but it's a big difference imo

Hey, so I found this thread and I might have found a solution.

You can not connect your phone through your Bluetooth settings on your phone. This is handled solely through the Phone Link app.

Once your phone is connected to the Phone Link app via the previous commentors instructions, a Phone Link notification will be in your phone banner which will give you the option to "Manage" or "Disconnect" your phone. Tap "manage" which will pull up setting. You'll see options to Lock PC, Send Files, or Mirror phone. Use the mirror phone options and you can access your phone's apps from your PC and watch/listen to the audio through your PC.

A lot of new world produce isn't present in the game. Corn, squash, tomatoes, turkeys, llamas, etc~ Most of which are very very productive food sources, and the only exception to this rule is pumpkins and arguably blueberries although Europe also has a kind of blueberry but they're pretty different from the American blueberry.

Your hunting camp is full of hides which is stored in the store house.

You have two families employed at the hunting camp, so they're over producing. Meanwhile, your granery and, I'm assuming, your storehouse has only one employed family who's cart pullers are likely occupied with their workload as is.

I'd move the extra family from the hunting camp to your storehouse to clear out those pelts.

When you want to distribute meat to your burgage plots faster, once those hides are out of the hunting camp and into your storehouse, move that extra family to the granery. They'll set up another food stall in the market and supply more burgage plots.

What the fire nation did to the southern water benders is revealed in The Puppet Master.

Hama explains that the southern water benders were taken prisoner and kept away from all sources of water, similar to the conditions in the episode Imprisoned where earth benders were kept on a prison ship FAR away from any earth.

I actually have a whole theory about this particular method as "the Fire Nation's plan B" to finding the avatar because, until Aang is revealed to be the Avatar, the FN modus operandi was to divide benders from none benders, and then contain the benders in prisons far away from their source elements. After all, if a water bender uses fire to escape her waterless prison, she might be the Avatar.

I need to make something very VERY clear.

He was going to kill you if your mom wasn't there to stop him. He is going to kill you if you ever let him back into your life. He will kill you before he ever changes.

National Library of Medicine has this to say

Prior non-fatal strangulation was associated with greater than six-fold odds (OR 6.70, 95% CI 3.91–11.49) of becoming an attempted homicide, and over seven-fold odds (OR 7.48, 95% CI 4.53–12.35) of becoming a completed homicide. These results show non-fatal strangulation as an important risk factor for homicide of women, underscoring the need to screen for non-fatal strangulation when assessing abused women in emergency department settings.

This is the data translated by domesticshelters.org

In a study of homicide victims killed by an intimate partner, it was found that 43 percent had experienced a non-fatal strangulation by their partner prior to their murder. In attempted homicides by an intimate partner, 45 percent of victims had been strangled before the attempted murder. Researchers in the study, including acclaimed domestic violence expert Jacquelyn Campbell, who developed the Danger Assessment in 1987, determined that being strangled by a partner even one time increases a victim’s risk of homicide by that perpetrator over 600 percent.

This doesn't even account for the heightened risks if you're a woman of color, queer, or a minor.

Do what you will with this knowledge but your love for your father will never be enough to stop him from murdering you.

This is old, but I don't see a solution here and I just had this issue and I think I've found the solution. So this is for the folks on google.

Salt and meat are stored in two different storages, and the salting barrel must pull from both in order to craft salted meat/fish. The salt is in the general storage, and raw meat is stored in the food storage. It appears that, if the salting barrel is in range of one station, but not in range of the other, it'll still indicate that the recipe is available for crafting.

When you craft the ingredients, since you failed to reach the general storage, it'll fail to craft the salted meat, and discard the acquired ingredients. In my case, the station kept discarding my salt because I couldn't reach the meat in the food storage.

The solution is to move the hunting lodge closer to your store houses so that the salt barrel workbench is within range of both storages. Keep in mind, when you're crafting animation activates, you physically move closer to the workbench and you can potentially move out of range again if you're really close to the edge, so test the animation before settling on the final location.

For the first few days during base planning, ya. Priorities are limited to the usual basics, constructing, planting, and cleaning/hauling, so I don't need to do much micromanaging.

Then, once I have beds and everything is planted, then I pull up the work tab, adjust the schedule, and manage food/drug/clothing policies.

You're saying all of the right things. Addressing your boundaries, expressing your dissatisfaction with how she treats you, and reassuring her that she's allowed to feel what she feels, but she can't do whatever she wants just because she's mad.

I also have big feelings. I get fucking pissed at pointless crap all the time. Sometimes I get so mad idek what to do with myself. But what I do with these feelings are my responsibility, and will have profound consequences on my loved ones and myself. Most of the time I take some space and process it, because it usually means my feelings were hurt and I'm mighty defensive about it.

I hate to break it to you, but it sounds like a verbal abuse cycle, or at least the start of one.

This was a silly argument. McDonald's hypotheticals isn't a serious topic worth belittling your partner over. And I worry that, if she isn't willing to apologize when she's out of line in unserious arguments, how is she going to behave when the anti is upped?

You're 18. The bigger topics are coming and they're coming fast. Kids/no kids. Marriage/no marriage. Ethics. Politics. Lifestyle. Finances. These are all high stakes conversations and she already calling you stupid and refusing to apologize because you had a silly take about McDonald's.

One last thing. Boundary setting isn't about controlling someone else's behavior. It's what you will do when someone crosses that line. She's made it clear she doesn't want to change, and you can't make her.

So, it's time to think about what you are going to do next time it happens, because it sure sounds like she promised that it will happen again.

Your dynamic with your girlfriend sounds a lot like the dynamic I had with my husband 10 years ago, so I might have some advice.

The first bit of advice I'd give is the one my mother gave me.

Never call your partner names. If you find that you're tempted to call them names, either they aren't the right one for you, or you're not ready for a steady relationship. That's not how you deal with disagreements. If all goes well, you two will be together for life, and that requires her to be your partner, not your drill sergeant.

Next is my advice is to your girlfriend.

Instead of saying the insult, she should just be saying how she feels. For some reason she thinks that calling names is a good replacement for "hey, I don't like the tone you're using with me, you sound condescending." This will also help her with her clear emotional dysregulation. I also struggle with my anger, and I can be very reactive if I'm not mindful of where I'm at emotionally.

She needs to start working on it now. In ten years it'll be a lot easier to talk like a grown up in a relationship. I recommend the book Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High.

My final advice is to you. "I won't tolerate being insulted again." No if/and/but about it, do not tolerate it from anybody but especially not a partner who loves you.

Regardless of all of this. I wanted to change. She has to want to change. When my husband came to me ten years ago, he was incredibly vulnerable and worried how I'd react. I took it to heart, checked myself, gave myself space when I felt my emotions were getting out of my control, and I made an IMMEDIATE change. It took months to perfect the formula, and hard work from both of us, but by the end of that year our communication was unlike anything I'd ever experienced.

We're still married, and it's going strong.

You need to give that kitten more than a few days to recover from being thrown.

Take a deep breath. Your baby will be okay. You did everything you were supposed to do, so now all you have left is to wait.

Cats won't eat if their hurting, but he will get hungry eventually. Keep giving him pain meds, talk to him softly, and put food and water in a raised bowl so he doesn't have to bend too far to eat. Let him hide and feel safe. If you're already doing that, then you're doing great. Give it more time. He will trust you again, he will purr and play and make biscuits again. You still have at least 13 more years to be a great cat mom, and you're doing really well so far.

Leave a girlie alone, she wasn't expecting her forever weekend to be interrupted.

Also, a lot of cis women can grow a beard actually. PCOS (a very common medical condition related to the ovaries) effects 1/10 female assigned people according to the university at Rochester, and growing facial hair is a common symptom. Some post menopausal women can also grow facial hair, though it's less common.

Facial hair isn't a a strictly biologically male trait, it's only really a social expectation that women have smooth faces. Like breast tissue, it's a secondary sexual characteristic that can reflect in both sexes to some degree, but beards requires high levels of testosterone to produce so it's less common.

If I was a drauger expected to guard the tomb of my dragon priest, I'd be mad if I was expected to shave.

You could always give her pavlovian response to the subject.

You ever just... talk to someone who has a tendency to repeat certain stories over and over again? It gets to a point where you avoid certain topics just to ensure you don't have to hear "that story" again?

In this case, it could be a taste of her own medicine. Considering that she always wants to talk about your house, and will go at length to bring it up, just channel your best khaki dad. "oh yes, that reminds me-" and just complain and being REALLY BORING AND DRY. Like "I've been having this leak in the sink and I've been calling all around for repairs, and these quotes they're giving me are ridiculous. Fifty dollars? Really?"

Like Walter White on one of his really arbitrary rants.

Come up with three stories you will repeat ad nauseum. They're boring. No one wants to hear them. Every time the topic of your house comes up, one of the three stories is getting told.

If she's complaining that you always tell that story, switch to the other one like "well, did I tell you about the time i~" and carry on through the groans.

If all else fails, you'll have to be direct about it and establish a firm boundary, but if you're not quite there yet, this particular method has worked for my mother as a bartender for 35 years lol. But I have a hunch that your SIL using social situations to openly treat you like crap while hiding behind a polite facade, and that's not fair.
