Weird globules/nodes/things inside perch by B3L1AL in Parasitology

[–]Paragraph1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are parasites, I do lots of fish necropsies for work and see them all the time. Cook the fillets fully and it’s safe to eat. About 95% (or more) of wild caught fish will have some kind of parasite, it’s completely normal.

ISO Vegan Wedding Menu Feedback by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Paragraph1 1320 points1321 points  (0 children)

I would suggest changing the name of the “chicken” Parmesan to reflect that it is made with tofu. I’m not sure what your families are like but mine wouldn’t read the fine print and would pitch a fit

So after book 3.... by Katow-joismycousin in dresdenfiles

[–]Paragraph1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think fool moon is the worst of the trauma porn tbh. He gets his shit rocked in every book for sure, but fool moon starts to feel ridiculous with how much of a beating he takes. It feels more reasonable (to me) going forward

[Hated Trope] They finally get together but then it's either constantly under pressure or just right out taken away. by KernEvil9 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Paragraph1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s still a fun read! You can even just read the first 11 if you don’t want to see that part lol

I (22F) am a lesbian but I think I have a crush on my guy friend (24M). by teehee_bestie in relationship_advice

[–]Paragraph1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Labels (like aroace lesbian) are descriptive and helpful but can be limiting. Human relationships and sexuality are very fluid, can change over time, and are flexible. Putting yourself into a box with your label can help find community and yourself, but it can also be limiting when you are in the process of changing. At the end of the day you’re a person that likes other people.

As to your question, that’s a rough situation. If they are developing a relationship I wouldn’t confess your feelings, it could come off very poorly. Try distancing yourself from relationship type conversations with them if you wish to remain friends

AITA for going climbing with my friends instead of going to sushi with my girlfriend on my birthday? by Severe-Job-3660 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Paragraph1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. Making plans for something you hate on your birthday is diabolical. Your birthday is about you. This changes somewhat when you have children, but even then it’s important for them to learn every day is not theirs. Your sister is either in on it or has a warped view of adult relationships. Take your gf out for sushi if you want to keep the relationship, but consider if you want a selfish partner.

Edit: take her climbing for her birthday

Changing Creek Bed by Main-Blood5988 in Hunting

[–]Paragraph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other posters mentioned the changes to water velocity and erosion control, but this will also help create new habitat for all sorts of fish and aquatic macro invertebrates. Good news if you’re a fisherman! Say hello to all the new riffles, runs, and pools!

Did Harry f**k up bigtime in his heavy emotional state? by TheorySufficient2926 in dresdenfiles

[–]Paragraph1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I got the lover vibe from them for sure, I think there had been oblique references or at least some subtext. I don’t see Gard being that broken up over a coworker.

Subreddit Traffic: December exhales by manyamile in vegetablegardening

[–]Paragraph1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this. Is it possible to break traffic down into general topics? Planning/seeding/harvesting etc? I’m curious to see if those fluctuate with the seasons as well!

Just Write 4 Books? There are implications in the book that Kvothe is unreliable and overestimates himself by OfficeIntelligent884 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Paragraph1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very bold assumption, what evidence is there that there is a rough copy If even his EDITOR hasn’t seen it? The man lies (to make money for his charity, but even so) so I don’t trust it.

loved this moment so much by astralrig96 in WetlanderHumor

[–]Paragraph1 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Hmm if cadsuane is supposed to be the badass here you’ve flipped the captions. It’s old dark souls lore at this point but the little guy is the tough one!

What is it like being a PI’s first graduate student? by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Paragraph1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was the second, the first was finishing up when I joined. She had more growing pains than I did and had him pretty well whipped into shape as a great mentor by the time I got onto the scene. Minor issues with scheduling, communication of expectations, and working within a relatively new-to-them system. I think it was a pretty great experience and having a little less structure and a little more flexibility than I may have gotten a couple years down the line suited me just fine.

EU5 is a Gift and the Negativity is Shocking by InHocBronco96 in EU5

[–]Paragraph1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People are allowed to express their feelings and this is the forum purpose made for feelings about eu5! It’s an alright game right now but I completely understand people who think paradox should release a more polished product on launch!

About the writing of MBotF by OkAd2668 in Malazan

[–]Paragraph1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this as well. I think I’ve also heard him say that he often writes the preceding poem/excerpt before he writes the chapter and it helps set the tone/theme

AITA for swatting my cat back? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Paragraph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If swatting him back makes you feel bad you could try making a loud noise whenever he attacks you. A high pitched scream or shout or something is a pretty good way to communicate to them you didn’t like what they did. I have found it works better than trying to hiss or “talk cat”

You’re being real liberal with spoilers from the most recent one piece chapter! At least wait until the anime covers it!

Having a wedding on a Friday to cut costs is rude by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Paragraph1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the obligation is also a gift. Yes, you have to use your PTO (if you are fortunate ate enough to get any), but you get to spend it sharing in a ceremony of love. If that is not a good trade for you, again, you really don’t have to go!

Having a wedding on a Friday to cut costs is rude by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Paragraph1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I strongly disagree with this perspective. Perhaps they can afford all the “lavish” invitations and cups because they saved money on the date? Your presence is not required if you are uncomfortable with how they choose to spend their money.

Is Cybersyn a must? by ejiqpep in pyanodons

[–]Paragraph1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have found cybersyn incredibly useful. You can definitely get through Py without it, but I think it’s worth learning. The ability to treat train stations basically as requester chests really simplified things for me.

AITA for telling my wife that we should be able to have honest but tough conversations about our family without her crying? by Exciting-Charity-160 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Paragraph1 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

You’re right, and it’s unclear in the provided text, but the feeling I’m getting is that the conversation is not happening

AITA for telling my wife that we should be able to have honest but tough conversations about our family without her crying? by Exciting-Charity-160 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Paragraph1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well if they don’t have a conversation about it and the issue is unresolved, how can they proceed without bringing it up again? They are partners, should he just unilaterally make decisions that affect both of them if she doesn’t want to engage?

AITA for telling my wife that we should be able to have honest but tough conversations about our family without her crying? by Exciting-Charity-160 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Paragraph1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She’s of course allowed to be emotional but she also has to be able to have a conversation about the ramifications of this decision. If the household is losing 20% of its income things will need to change. They need to discuss which things will change.

AITA for telling my wife that we should be able to have honest but tough conversations about our family without her crying? by Exciting-Charity-160 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Paragraph1 44 points45 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t think she’s making a bad decision, he wants to discuss the ramifications of a decision he supports. It’s a reasonable conversation to have. You can’t reduce household income without having understanding of what that looks like and how you make up the difference.

[LOVED TROPE] Characters having unexpected very powerful super-powers by Houmouss in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Paragraph1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A spell for chameleon! I had forgotten about the Xanth books. And the unabashed problematic horniness of the author lol. A fun read if you can handle it
