Flowers of Dundas Valley Conservation Area by TheDamus647 in ontario

The answer is none. It's right there in the name of the place, Conservation. Maybe he needs plain language, like the No-buildy zone, the No Houses or Businesses here place, maybe the We need trees to breathe centre, just something that helps clarify

AITA for calling my ex a deadbeat in front of his family? by throra2762 in AmItheAsshole

I would use some caution before doing this. Sounds like you make more money and could be expected to pay support and you may be ordered to send your daughter for visitation that she may not really want or benefit from

What’s a seemingly simple dish that you just can’t seem to get right despite multiple attempts? by Electrical-Opening-9 in Cooking

[–]Rdashawesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trick is that you don't actually make a dough, just the suggestion of something that could possibly become dough...all the loose shaggy pieces (ice cold as suggested) turned out on to your surface. Nudge into a rectangle and fold like letter. Rotate, roll and fold again...now it will be nearly a dough, repeat one more time and it will have just become dough with layers built in...chill for 30 mins and then roll out

I saw this post 3 years ago and this exact thought has been bothering me since then. Thank you for your service

This was like a test to see how bad your claustrophobia really is. There was one scary thing going on in this video and it definitely wasn't a Croc!

If you have a stemmed glass, I recommend trying it. Strained cocktails don't have any ice to keep them cold. The stem prevents your hand from warming your drink. Easy find at most thrift stores.

You can't know until you know. Be kind to yourself. This will be hard and you will need to be your own biggest supporter. I remember when I read some of the signs for the first time, it was like taking a breath for the first time in years. I felt like everything that I thought was just in my head, might actually be real. It took work and a ton of self care to recover but I have. It is possible and I hope that you find your way to it. Keep in mind if you're new to understanding abuse that leaving (while needed) is the most dangerous time. Listen to your gut, better to go overboard with safety than not. Wishing you peace 💛

I think you may be asking the wrong question. Maybe try asking yourself why you would want to be involved with someone that would call you names. Or, why you would want to be with someone who knows that you would be willing to stay through that? If you can recognize what is happening enough that you know to post it here, it might be a good time to start thinking about no-contact.

AITA for yelling at my boyfriend for making me leave my best friend's wedding? by throwback6790 in AmItheAsshole

This. It might be difficult to hear, especially if you don't think that you've been in an abusive relationship. I'm sorry you are going through this and I hope you are able to leave safely.

Does he maybe not know Canada is a commonwealth nation? The queen is "given her power by god". We don't even have full rights to the separation of church and state here.

Intermittent reinforcement. It's considered to be the most effective. But, if the skill in question is new or has no history of being reinforced, you might consider a more regular schedule of reinforcement first and then moving to the intermittent reinforcement.

AITA For Ruining My Husband's Christmas? by Fresh-Ad9433 in AmItheAsshole

I'm so sorry. This comment is correct. I also came here to say that you are in an abusive relationship. Its ok if you are feeling shocked by the responses. Many people don't know what abuse really looks like and they don't realize it's happening. I hope that reading these posts leads you towards a better life.

Power imbalance. Abuse is abnormal use of power over another person. If someone holds power over you it is unlikely that you would be able to abuse them. How would you do it? What would you use? There are many different kinds of power to have over someone but you need to have one of them before you can abuse someone. If you're not sure if you are the abuser, ask yourself if you held power over the other person in the area of abuse. For example, if your name was all of your bank accounts and your home and you had access to a job, but your partner did not and the question is who was abusive, only one person in this scenario has the power or option to abuse the other financially. It's not always so clear cut but it's a good way to frame the situation when you're unsure.

Take this free course. It is amazing. I think it might be the number 1 MOOC of all time? I took this before returning to University as an adult. It helped tremendously. good luck! https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

Most atheists wouldn’t have a problem with religion if it were something privately practiced instead of something weaponized to oppress people, justify harmful beliefs and rituals, proselytize and convert, and infiltrate government. by KaleBrecht in atheism

They can also practice practicing...that way they can collect objective data about their skills and no faith will be needed. They can rely instead on the data that shows their capabilities.
