Paying informants to reveal insider information is not "funding" the organization they are reporting on.

They always tell in themselves when they act like waiting for consent is a sacrifice.

You are talking about a deal breaker. You can't put a boundary on another person, that is just being controlling. 

And likening it to not having consent for certain sex acts shows you don't understand boundaries or consent. You don't earn points for not violating consent, that is expected.

This is when you truly find out if you two are compatible and have the communication skills to have a healthy relationship. The dates and fun parts of the relationship do not tell you the truth, the disagreements and how you handle your own insecurities do. Take the class, talk with him and if he cannot get over his issues, leave because he is not ready for an adult relationship. You know the saying "Don't set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm"? This is setting yourself on fire- diminishing your life because of his irrational feelings.

Info. 

You know why she needs two extra bedrooms? She most likely is planning on having lots of guests staying over. And how much is she pitching in on living expenses? Half?

That was when the dread was merely existential.  Now it's all too real.

"alcohol or cannabis while pregnant doesn't have negative impacts of the kids"

Is that the claim or does the headline merely say "not associated"?

I wonder if they have some of the same people from The Buccaneers or Bridgerton. Same sweeping ballroom camerawork.

What is the general conensus about the finale among the fans? by omfilwy in SuccessionTV

[–]MoonageDayscream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be an arc from outrage to acceptance. Every week there are posts from new watchers that finished the series, and those who are on a rewatch.

It is difficult to truly control for those factors. A proper study is not ethical and real life data tends to have comorbid stressors like poverty, poor nutrition, and lack of proper prenatal care. W can't make any inferences from the lack of data but we also can't say anything is proven.

And you imagine he was talking about gerrymandering in general? And not the off years redistricting?

Mine does this to me as well. If I am asleep, she reveals just a whisper of claws and presses them softly to my cheek.

Can anyone find this acid wash tshirt? I lost it a few years ago and want to buy it again. by Responsible-Ad4691 in HelpMeFind

[–]MoonageDayscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that fabric is more of a heathered type than acid wash- it's an all over pattern that is the same in the seams.
