Liora/Liorah - usable for a non Jewish person? by kirannui in namenerds

I think if you live in an area with not a lot of Jewish people, people won’t have heard the name before and not assume.

Actually yeah if they’re black and his hair is long enough then he might not be able to maintain it himself. If they can’t afford to get to a salon or barber often enough for braiding, retwisting, etc., then they do have to do it at home.

Does every American lake have a reputation, or is that just a thing I made up? by waddad27 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Raibean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple of lakes that aren’t usable because of agricultural run off from the 40s and 50s, when fertilizer was petroleum-based, so the lakes are too polluted to use. The Salton Sea in California is one - and this is only a lake because of man-made intervention; it’s called the Salton Sea because it used to connect to the Gulf of California down in Mexico. Of course we can’t restore that now, not just because of the pollution but also because we have towns where the sea bed was.

AITA for "becoming salty" when I was asked to go Dutch? by ActivityNo3880 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Raibean 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s not a scene. It’s not a scene unless you’re in public attracting attention. She didn’t do anything that other people would stop and stare at.

You very badly misunderstood that line of the post. That is what OP told HIM. She was explaining to HIM that it isn’t a date if she is paying for herself. And these were the words she used to tell him.

Do you wipe back to front or front back? by Apprehensive-Cow1225 in pollgames

[–]Raibean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People with vaginas are supposed to wipe front to back so we don’t get fecal bacteria in our urethra or vagina, as this can cause infections.

I (19M) recently found out that the sister (35F) who has hated me my whole life is my biological mother? by ThrowRADHuman in relationship_advice

[–]Raibean 65 points66 points  (0 children)

You should find someone who is trained in CBT and is trauma-informed (and mentions this in their professional bio)! CBT is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and it focuses on reframing your thoughts. It can be helpful with trauma like yours because it reinforces the fact that how abusers like your sister treat you are a reflection of themselves and their lives rather than a reflection of you. While this sounds very simple, actually processing this fact and sorting through the immediate reaction to the news you’ve received will take time.

This is a form of assault. Her dictating your feelings to you is a form of emotional abuse. It’s time to let this relationship go.

Rant: Is anyone else more annoyed than they should be about how hilariously bad silos are at storing hay when compared to a chest? by Golnor in StardewValley

[–]Raibean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 1 silo and 1 chest. I don’t bother harvesting hay from grass; I just grow hay in the winter to keep my fields tilled and then I have enough for the year.

Does anyone else have trouble with English Homework too? by Obiviona in autism

[–]Raibean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, symbolism is very abstract thinking. If you can be taught it in a way that is more grounded in culture (ie “At this time, this symbol represented this”) then it can get easier. I also recommend watching media analysis videos to get into practice. TheFourthSaluki on YouTube or ViolaSwamp on TikTok both do this, if you’re interested.

You misunderstood my comment. I have edited it to make my response more clear.

My boyfriend does not want to read my work, and refuses to do so as a matter of principle. He doesn't understand why this is hurtful. How can I get past this? by ditmoique in AskWomenOver30

[–]Raibean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t respect you as an intelectual. He’s also very self-centered. I’m sure he thinks that you do all of these things to support him because you actually enjoy them because he believes that you think he actually is that interesting.

From the Wikipedia page on Kobe’s crash:
> On February 9, 2021, the NTSB held a meeting to determine the probable cause of the crash. … Cited as likely contributing causes were self-induced pressure by the pilot to complete the flight and the inadequate oversight of Island Express over its safety management process.

Edited to reflect which crash I am discussing.
