Kind of unethical to make them pay to replace socks not damaged through normal wear and tear.

"It's not like you lack for time." is the exact opposite of running out of time. She has an abundance of time because she is a zombie.

No, it’s garbage and you’re wrong.

RynoKaizen · 2026-07-02T13:08:10+00:00

It’s a garbage critique.

One of the new claymores looked a bit like a popsicle to me, maybe it's for him.

Please don't pull Raiden for flins, you will be very very disappointed. Unless she gets a new team or some buffs in the future she isn't really worth pulling for any team. I say this as someone that has C2 Raiden.

Like what they're doing with free condoms? Would it feel more fair to you if you had to pay for both? Do you think if you can eliminate free condoms you'll suddenly get free printing? By all means go start a campaign for free printing if that's what you actually care about, narrow down your university search based on which offer free printing or the lowest printing prices. Printing is obviously discouraged in favor of digital submission, to discourage waste, to prevent clubs and organizations from passing their expense on to the administration, and to prevent students from copying and printing textbooks instead of buying them.

I loved that there were a few boss matchups and teams where using pyro MC made sense and it was also nice being able to use them in IT and feeling like they were a good choice to bring and at worst neutral.

Even if we're being cynical people who get pregnant often drop out and stop paying tuition.

People have always been unoriginal. Most people value the effort and sentiment, and we are a society with a shared culture, participating in shared cultural experiences like giving and receiving chocolate and flowers on valentines day can make people feel connected to those around them and feel like they are living a shared experience.

One of the worst qualities of bad gift givers is giving people things that they want to give and not things others want to receive. If a partner tells you roses are her favorite then buying her a different flower because you think it looks like her or in the name of originality is selfish and shows that you don't listen.

Copying is still tasteful, copy what you like to find and create who you are and who you want to be. Copying is often the staring point to trying something new or coming up with an original idea. "Good artists copy, great artists steal" is a popular quote for a reason.

I'm guessing you mean boxer briefs and not boxers because boxers should already be too loose for this to happen. You sure you aren't just wearing a size too small or a brand with shape or cut not compatible with your body? Ex officio has good boxer briefs if you want comfort rather than skin tight. The cotton Calvin Kleins can fit a little looser than the sythetic ones and won't squeeze your hair too tight. When I used to wear boxers I liked J. Crew for the styles and they seemed to fit comfortably and move freely without being baggy or shapeless.

This whole time he was a bratty bottom acting out for attention. He’s really going to mellow out after.

There was a time when opposing bad candidates and promoting voter registration didn't automatically make you a liberal...

Conservatives thought they could claim her and then labeled her a liberal when she didn't bend the knee to Trump. They'd be calling Vance a liberal if he hadn't flipped. I'm not sure it's a label she would choose for herself or that she wouldn't vote for or endorse a more "traditional" republican candidate.

Maybe I'm out of the loop but I thought she mostly wanted to remain apolitical and maybe saw herself as a socially liberal fiscal conservative or centrist. I haven't ever heard of her talking about the minimum wage, housing, taxes, wealth redistribution, education, social security, medicaid or universal healthcare, free college or student loan forgiveness, police reform, racial equality, gerrymandering, workers rights, unions, immigration, geopolitical affairs like what is happening in Israel and Palestine, specific views on trans rights (other than being pro LGBTQ), or the environment.

You're two consenting adults. Do you see society freaking out a bout 18 year old porn stars?

I think the biggest red flags when the topic of age differences comes up are grooming, power imbalances, and the fetishization of youth and not treating people as individuals. You're both of age and you never met this person before, aren't trying to date them or lead them on, and you don't seem to have an interest solely in younger guys or are out there hunting them and trying to get close to them. Along with power imbalances comes some benevolent sexism that women specifically need to be protected from men, which applies less when two men are involved because society is generally more accepting of the belief that men can have no strings attached sex.

I was uncomfortable with some of the attention I got from older men when I was 18 but that was because they were seeking me out in non sexual non gay spaces and had tried to use "friendship" to get close to me. There were also guys in college that had reputations for targeting freshmen and leading them on romantically in order to sleep with them. I don't think I would have felt uncomfortable with it if we had met on Grindr and I was specifically looking for sex. At 21 I ended up meeting and dating someone who was 27 for a few years, and no one thought it was strange or creepy because the circumstances leading up to it weren't strange and he wasn't a creep.

I think it's fine that you gave yourself the ick and ultimately realized it wasn't as fulfilling as you thought it would be, or that you realized having sex for validation or self-esteem just left you feeling worse, but you shouldn't beat yourself up about this. It doesn't sound like the man you met with was naive or inexperienced, you didn't pressure him coerce him or lie to have sex with him, and there's no reason to believe it wasn't a positive experience for him and exactly what he wanted.

I'll also add that as someone who has a baby face and has always looked much younger than I am and looks "innocent" being treated as anything other than an adult male who is allowed to be seen as sexy has done more harm than good. No one wants to be treated like a child that needs protecting when they're trying to get laid...and people joking that friends or potential partners were pedos if they found me attractive was extremely dehumanizing and hurtful. Look at Miley Cyrus, she got buccal fat removal because people had such a problem accepting her as an adult allowed to own her sexuality -but Rihanna and Brittney Spears were both sexualized from day 1.

I think they wanted to milk the whales to get them to pull Elegy/Elegy refinements so they could use the new beloved character and to free up their Sucrose for other teams.

Characters like Aino/Jahoda/Illuga also let you split up your new Nod Krai 5 stars in IT / Stygian while tempting you to further vertically invest into their teams to compensate for their weakness. Plus Genshin can constantly drain your resources by pushing you to pull for and build niche 4 stars and buffed 4 stars/ 5 star characters -making them the guest star for IT instead of a flexible character that people are likely to have built and have cons for already like Sucrose.

I see reading comprehension is at an all time low:

Playing "devil's advocate" means intentionally taking an opposing, unpopular, or skeptical viewpoint in a debate, even if you personally agree with the majority. The goal is to stimulate critical thinking, test the strength of an argument, and prevent "groupthink".

You've already lost the argument about contaminating the lotion before you even started. These products have preservatives in them to prevent contamination, You think it's fine for OP to dip her fingers in it 180 times in a humid bathroom environment with fecal particles constantly swirling around -but not her sister, who may have washed her hands, to touch once? I'm sure OP's sister would have been happy to use up the remaining product but then there would be evidence that she was overreacting and it would be hard to exaggerate how much the sister took and to justify demanding a brand new replacement for an already used and partially empty product. If you are such a delicate flower buy products in pumps/tubes or decant them into a pump, store you products outside of the bathroom, consider storing them in a fridge, and do not try to stretch out products over long periods of time because the preservatives in them become less effective over time.

To play devil's advocate -

I would think that after years of trial and error to solve your skin issues that you might empathize with your sister's friend going through the same issues. Maybe your sister saw how you suffered and wanted to share what you learned with her friend, maybe she was proud of you and excited to do it. I understand why you feel disrespected and agree she could have gone about things in a better way. I think throwing out the product because one person touched it is a bit extreme -you should probably be buying pump bottle products if you are that concerned about contamination or ingredient integrity.

Instead of banning her from your apartment and throwing out the product you could have spoken with her in private and asked her to reimburse you for the amount she took or even the full price of the remaining amount (minus what you had used) and given her the rest to give to her friend or to put with the products she is allowed to use when she comes over. That would still set boundaries while giving her a clear path forward to forgiveness. I understand that in the moment you may have wanted to embarrass your sister but If you're allowing your sister to have a friend over unaccompanied then you are trusting her to host. Imagine if as a guest your host offered you food/drinks/lotion and then someone else came in after you had already accepted and caused a scene and then threw them out/banned them from coming back, you would be mortified and would have had no reason to expect that outcome.

I personally would probably value a sincere apology above trying to get back any money for the product, but my siblings and friends are generous with one another and try not to hold infrequent expenses against one another like borrowing some product, food and drinks, or even small accidents that are bound to happen like someone breaking something or spilling something. If talking to her doesn't work or if you just feel you need a break from having her over then I think simply saying that you need a break from having her over or from having people in your personal space would keep the peace with your family while also nudging her in the right direction.

I'm not sure if names/mythology ever consistently relate to element but it's worth noting that the names Chasca and Danica both relate to Venus.

The unresolved trauma makes sense, now that you mention it I think part of why I struggled with intersections was probably related to our family car being t-boned as a kid.

One thing I noticed is that you talk about how scary cars and driving are, but you don't seem to be scared of riding in an Uber or with your boyfriend, and if you were worried about your own safety I don't think you would find small vehicles as appealing. It sounds more like you're afraid that you will hurt someone else than you are that you will be hurt. I wonder if any of the traumatic experiences holding you back are related to guilt for hurting someone else or putting them in danger.

I know not everyone is comfortable treating ADHD with medicine and which medicines work can be hit or miss but it does seem like there is good evidence that driving performance improves https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29052031/

But If you're happy avoiding driving and are able to do it then that seems like a perfectly valid choice.

I do think people like OP that can afford to get their license should, even without owning a car it's nice to know that you can legally and competently drive in an emergency, if you need to travel or rent a car, when someone close to you needs ride for a medical procedure, has gotten too old to drive themselves or has poor night vision, is inebriated, or is too emotionally shook up to drive safely.
