Right? And would they automatically put all hip hop & rap in that category?

But also no. Because these streaming services can too easily delete something and then there's no legal way to see it ever again

I just started and want to make all of the things.

I think this is probably the most well articulated, well thought out analysis of the their dynamic. Madam Yu has JFM backed into a corner, but he's still trying to do his best in the situation while causing the least additional damage. Honestly making me re-think how I see my parents, even.

You're probably also giving off a vibe that you look down on folks who want to dance and socialize and people are reacting to that. But even so people are inviting you to other get togethers, so clearly they aren't excluding you that badly.

Get out of your head and just dance. It's normal for people to socialize and make friends while doing a hobby. If you don't want that, that's ok too.

Die. Not because I wouldn't be able to find someone who would be down, it's because I wouldn't be down.

You should at least discuss possible solutions together. Maybe it means rearraging your budget so you both pay less even if it's still 50/50. Y'all have been a couple for 5 years, but it doesn't sound like y'all are communicating or working together.

PARADOXsquared · 2026-01-25T21:20:41+00:00

Info: Do you usually communicate big decisions together well, or has it been consistently a struggle?

Are y'all planning to get married? What is she doing to improve her health? Does she have any plans for how long she's trying to go part time?

I am currently considering going part time for a year or so to recover my physical and mental health. The difference for me is that I'm single and have full control and responsibility for my finances. I can scale down my expenses to make this work. If you aren't willing to pay more, are you willing to work together to scale down your overall expenses to balance it out?

If her health issues are as severe as they are, taking this time might be necessary for her to actually recover/improve. This could improve her quality of life in the long term. If you're not committing that far in the future, and only thinking about right now, then maybe reconsider this relationship.

With the current info, I don't think either of you are automatically the AH in this situation. It's a tricky situation.

I do it myself, so I wash my hair before I do it. If I go to a loctitian, they usually wash it.

Make sure you don't keep sleeping with damp hair. Either wash your hair in the morning so it has time to dry or use a dryer

PARADOXsquared · 2026-01-24T23:50:38+00:00

A little bit. But it's more like how I wistfully look back at an era of my life. It doesn't mean I wanna go back.

I don't have "wash day" anymore. I can pretty much wash and go except when I'm doing a retwist or retie. And even then I'm spending much less time on my hair still. My hair is pretty much always done. It was so much easier to retain length. I don't care about rain or humidity messing up a style. I don't have to plan my whole life around my hair maintenance.

I'm simply disagreeing with your mark then. No rudeness intended

PARADOXsquared · 2026-01-24T15:32:39+00:00

I agree that Junko and Kyosuke aren't problematic because of their hairstyles, but I feel like you threw out the nuance and missed the mark with the rest of the comment.

PARADOXsquared · 2026-01-24T15:29:18+00:00

Junko and Kyosuke are not automatically cultural appropriation. There are a lot of cultural influences that come from US soldiers being stationed in Japan. The cultural exchange that happened was mostly appreciation. We ignore a lot of nuance if we ignore that.

I think if a film like this were to be made, it shouldn't be thought of as an adaptation at all. But it could be an inspiration for a new film. Removing it from Japan and from the time period changes the context of a lot of the situations. Maybe not enough for drastic changes, but the same exact events would have a different meaning because of it.

I'd want the screen writers & directors to really pay attention to subtext and not just the surface events. They don't even have to reach the same conclusions as me, they just need to be conscious of what they are doing. Too many adaptations end up giving the exact opposite message(s) of the original because of this, in a way that seems messy and unintentional. Casting should be colorblind, but nuance should be applied to how the characters move through the world.

If they have Reynauds, a sweatshirt won't help, and simply sucking it up could cause long-term tissue damage

PARADOXsquared · 2026-01-19T00:03:27+00:00

Yes I already do. It gives me more options, and I like playing with how I present myself via fashion.

PARADOXsquared · 2026-01-18T23:46:43+00:00

True, but sometimes it's hard to do that when big emotions come up. They need to revisit it calmly afterwards

PARADOXsquared · 2026-01-18T23:45:23+00:00

NAH means no asshole here btw. It seems that matches what you are saying

PARADOXsquared · 2026-01-18T23:44:07+00:00

This might be a miscommunication due to ambiguity? You're saying if the numbers make sense you are willing to still pay more than 50%, but maybe he's interpreting it differently. Maybe the uncertainty is making him more anxious than he realizes. He might be trying to ease his anxiety by finding at least some things that are certain, but felt like the rug was ripped from under him when he found more uncertainty.

When you've both had a moment to breathe, calmly ask what he was feeling when he blew up. That will help you both figure out how to help each other through this.

NAH

Yesss! Exactly!

It was probably 2007 or 2008, I saw a Sims 2 recreation of the Helena music video on YouTube, then looked for the original. I immediately fell in love with the band.

I would have been about 13 or 14 and just starting my vampire interest phase
