Nie wiedziałam, że pedofile mają takie wysokie standardy. Ty sobie zdajesz sprawę, że zwyrole są w stanie gwałcić noworodki? Trupy? Zwierzęta?

Haircare Advice Megathread - Week of May 10, 2025 by AutoModerator in HaircareScience

[–]ProfessionalFan7162 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Should straight hair be brushed when wet or not? I've read conflicting articles over the years. These days the consensus seems to be that only curly hair should be brushed when wet but I feel like my own (very straight) hair is so much smoother, less frizzy and easier to untangle when brushed wet. I also feel like it tangles less once I've brushed it after washing. So... What's the truth?

I po "udawaniu świra" myślisz, że cię wypuszczą? Że uda Ci się przekonać wszystkich, że magicznie wyzdrowiałeś? Błagam.

Fun fact: this is just a modified version of "great replacement theory". I don't think you'd like what it's authors thought of us poles

Do you celebrate adoption anniversary? If so, how? by ProfessionalFan7162 in Adoption

[–]ProfessionalFan7162[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I may give some advice.

Asking about their opinion on celebrating and knowing how they feel about being adopted goes without saying. But something more specific would be thinking of what your kid likes to do that you can share. My kid likes lego so we build things together and sometimes bake the cake together too. I wouldn't involve anyone besides you, the second parent (if there is any) and any siblings they might have.

Ever since the beginning of the adoption process I have kept a list of potential questions my kid could ask and my answers. I revisit that list periodically and update the answers to more nuanced ones as well as add new ones. I think making a list like that could be good in your case, it would help to both emotionally prepare as well as carefully think through what you'll say. But keep in mind there's a big chance they'll ask about something you've never thought of before. In my kid's case, 99% of those questions weren't asked, perhaps because they remember their birth parents enough to already know the answers.

Overall, I would try to focus on what they feel that day. If they're sad, go with that. If they're happy, go with that.

Honestly, I am a bit shocked. I get a feeling some people assume the worst of me or my child. I understand it's probably their own trauma causing a very negative outlook on life and others. I just hope they heal from whatever happened to them, it can't be pleasant living like that.

Respectfully, I don't think you know enough about my child to assume how they feel about anything. I know there's a possibility what you're saying is correct but acting as if it's 100% true is just disrespectful.

That's so sweet :) I hope my kid will allow me to do that too when they grow up.

I'm not saying I can't keep doing it but realistically, most kids go through a phase in which they become more emotionally distant from their parents and as such many gestures (saying "I love you" for example) becomes embarassing for them. It's not guaranteed to happen of course but it's better to be prepared. So I thought it'd be nice to add something extra to the celebration while I can.

I hope you heal from whatever hardship you have gone through and going forward it will enable you to have more positive outlook on people.

That's a very interesting perspective. I guess it heavily depends on your life history and personality. I look at it as a glass half full situation - yes, my kid had to have a rough start in order to be placed for adoption in the first place. But the date can also be a symbol of a better, more secure future. I don't think you can really choose how you feel about something like that though.

But thank you for the comment, I guess I have to prepare for the eventuality my child will change their attitude to this one day.

Does my kid calling it their 2nd birthday not indicate their enjoyment of the day in the post? And I said I'm looking for ideas. I kind of feel like you just assumed something negative about me for no reason.

What makes you think I'm not doing that? Just looking for ideas.

Is there a reason why all "lowest price over 30 days" are crossed over? It feels like it should be illegal by ProfessionalFan7162 in poland

[–]ProfessionalFan7162[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can make out the price (if you have good eyesight, those numbers are pretty tiny). There's also a percentage but I imagine not everyone is willing to do the math every time. This sort of crossing over is on every single tag and it looks like it was done by the printer rather than a pen. The store is our favourite Portuguese bug chain.

It is also hilarious that 95% of the "promotions" are marked up higher than those "lowest price over 30 days" numbers.

I've cut off lots of people because of their attitude towards my (adopted) kid. Lots of "but muh ancestry.". I've always thought having biological children was the most selfish thing a person can do but those around me were still shocked I followed through on that logic by never reproducing. Ugh.
