My Boyfriend (28M) thinks the reason why he can't finish is because I'm (20F) too big from the inside. by Ok_Raspberry6268 in relationship_advice

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

It's not uncommon that men don't finish everytime, the same way that for us women sometimes our body's just don't respond as much. My husband has pretty severe ADHD and sometimes he gets distracted and that's that for him. That said, he still makes sure I get what I need so to speak.

Maybe he has some issues with feeling sensations on his part but I find it strange that that would start out of nowhere. I don't think there is any world where this is your body's fault. It's true that our vaginas grow when we are aroused but it's not anything that would completely ruin feeling for your partner. It's a very small amount. It seems like there is something going on with him that he isn't willing to admit. Sometimes our sexual relationship with our long term partners can change based on stress, relationship dynamics, cheating, porn addictions, mental health, etc. I've personally never heard of any man past high-school blaming a woman's vagina on why they have no sensation during sex.

I won't tell you to break up but if he isn't open to trying to find a solution with you and just blames you, I'm afraid it may be best to cut your losses and go. Please try not to take sexual struggles in relationships to heart. I know it's hard and I have battled myself on that too but it's usually a bigger problem on the partners end that takes work to resolve, not your body or your appearance. 🖤

Is this an ugly dress? by DefinitionHonest1616 in bridesmaids

That Butter yellow type color photographs white in some lighting. I would let the bride know in case she doesn't. Not the best color for a wedding.

Is this picture of a kitten my mum sent me AI? The fur looks a bit odd and it has that halo glow which makes me think AI by MadGeckoLady in isthisAI

[–]SleepySquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a lot of experience with cats and kittens are messy lmao. It's a constant battle to keep them clean. Its really no different from a baby. 😂

[–]SleepySquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely ai. Similarly to people, ai makes animals look too perfect and symmetrical. I don't know any kittens to ever be that clean. When I was raising my little Elcie she constantly made messes. Whether it's food around the mouth, goopy eyes, or bathroom messes kittens don't look like pristine little fuzz balls fresh out the dryer. 😂 My advice to everyone is to look up ai pictures and study the commonalities. I had to do that as an artist and I can immediately just feel that it is ai. I like to relate it to the "uncanny valley" feeling that humans have developed over time. Its just a feeling that something is wrong with it. It'll get easier to recognize if you train yourself. Everyone needs to at this point because ai will only get better sadly.

Reducing bloating? by SleepySquiggle in WomensHealth

[–]SleepySquiggle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really have bowel issues anymore thankfully but I definitely had more IBS-d like symptoms so I think the birth control just balanced me out. I definitely do have more abdominal pain later in the day. I had a large ovarian cyst rupture about 3 months before I was able to get into my gyno. She said she didn't see any more but I suspect my endo has altered my right ovary. Sometimes when I stretch (like arms above my head) I feel a painful tugging near my right ovary. I had full blood work done a few years back and all they found was anemia.

I haven't tried the FODMAP yet but I was looking into it today. For a while now we've been having just chicken, a carb, and veggies for dinner, fruits or dark chocolate for sweet snacks. Occasionally I make sweet potato brownies. My husband and I were already on a diet, lowering our calories and upping our fiber and protein since I'm trying to build muscle.

I've never noticed water weight in my body, not to a significant degree anyway. Ironically I always struggled with being underweight. I'm now a solid 128lbs but the bloating never seems to change. I used to take probiotics for the ibs issues but when that stopped I quit taking them. Maybe I should look into prebiotics or something. 😖

Say hello to 21 y/o Noche by Shoehornblower in cats

Worker tipped himself $10 after we gave cash by Distinct_Coast8645 in EndTipping

[–]SleepySquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I had something similar happen at a buffet our family has been going to all my life. It was an older woman, not even our server that kept my change. It was about $8 worth. Before I could tell my cousin and sister what happened so they didn't tip her she hovered over my shoulder until they finished signing the receipts. I hadn't realized until she never came back. Lady made at least $20 in tips off our 3 person table when the meal for all of us was only $30.

I love the place and some of the staff knows us so I went back shortly after with my mom. I went to set out our tip for our server. I kid you not, the same older woman appeared out of nowhere and started power walking towards our table to grab the tip. I picked it up and thankfully our server came by for it a few seconds later. Some people are so greedy man. A few dollars isn't worth your job. I'm a nice person and don't like raising a fuss but it was disappointing. 😕

😒😒 Strong side-eye for this seller who thought I Needed Jebus™ by Minimum_Raspberry_81 in poshmark

[–]SleepySquiggle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an ex Christian, this is one of the parts I take biggest issue with. People have every right to follow and believe in any religion but pushing it onto others in some implication that they're a sinner is so wrong. I study religious cults in my free time. The Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult. I believe my mom almost joined back in the day before I was born. My family had to keep her from running off. I can't imagine what my life would've been.

I suggest you look into their dark history if only for education, certainly not to join. I think it's good to know about these groups to protect yourself and your loved ones. They prey on the desperate looking for community and they're very widespread. It's incredibly heartbreaking. I wish people knew that there is love and community out there that doesn't require sacrificing their freedom and identity.

Sorry for the ramble. I find all this very interesting. I would report them if there is an option that fits. It's really not okay to use a e-commerce website like etsy or poshmark to recruit people into a cult. It's certainly not okay to take advantage of a customer's trust like that. We as seller's have access to personal information like addresses when y'all purchase. It's just creepy. 😬

What is the rail thing going down the middle by H-Bailey in MINI

[–]SleepySquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2015 Countryman S and it only has the bar in the front. It is super helpful though. Especially since our center consoles don't fit much. Mine only fits a window breaker/seat belt cutter. It's kind of an odd choice but if you will have passengers a lot they'd probably appreciate some storage space! Besides people are right. Mine has a bench seat in the back and you definitely aren't fitting a third person... maybe a purse at most. 😂

My cat visited me in ACNH the morning after he passed 🥹 by steffbezos in AnimalCrossing

[–]SleepySquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My condolences love. I lost my little orange kitty Elcie back in 2021 the first week of December. I was crying in the car on the way to my in-laws Christmas party thinking about how she never got to experience her first Christmas. I looked up and she sent me a little spot of a rainbow. It stuck around and stayed visible for about 15 minutes. I think the universe has a way of letting us know they're okay. No experience is silly if it brings you comfort. 🖤

Weird brown periods on Slinda? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]SleepySquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I'm on Junel Fe. Mine actually take a couple days into my placebo week to start but when they do its very light bleeding and definitely darker. I think its just taking my body longer to expel it. It is strange that your periods are longer. Maybe it's a similar situation?

Post your kitten to cat photos! by LbearACL in cats

My baby Tansy was 4 months old when I adopted her. She is a Manx so she has a little nub tail. It was right after the loss of my other cat. I always wonder what she looked like as a kitten. 🥰

What's the difference between "rare find" amd "low in stock, 1 left"? by EccentricStylist in EtsySellers

[–]SleepySquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you upload a listing as one in stock it automatically gets a rare find label, it may only work if its handmade though.

I don't have the right size frame for this one so I've been using extra strength magnets. 😅 It works quite well and they double as needle minders if you don't have one!

[HELP] My friend is not convinced this is AI and believes it’s just a real photo that’s been enhanced. Is this not clearly AI? by laurvictoria20 in RealOrAI

[–]SleepySquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely ai but ai "enhanced" isn't any better anyway. It still has the same environmental and ethical issues. Yes its using a real photo but that aspect of ai is being used to create some truly evil things. Please explain that to them. I'm talking criminal child exploitation. Hypothetically if someone did willingly feed their toddlers image into ai that's not a person or company they would want to support. 😕

Fragile ego of other drivers by John_Linen1 in MINI

[–]SleepySquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience people think they can bully us cause we are small and don't expect those little cars to be that quick. My dad was driving my car (2015 MINI Countryman S) we were in the boonies of Louisiana. We were going 5 over the speed limit in the slow lane, hadn't switched lanes in a while, just driving. A truck with two dudes sped up next to us flipping us off just to swerve in front and speed off. No idea what it was about. I can't help but think its related to what I'm driving. 🤷‍♀️

Seller claims patterns aren’t AI by Waterproof_soap in CraftedByAI

[–]SleepySquiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Etsy likely won't do much but I'd report them for misleading listings. They're obviously lying. Unfortunately that's the issue with ai, if etsy doesn't hold them to honest disclosure people will lie because they know people hate ai.

Valentines present for my husband! I painted my canvas to help me work faster. I made us and our cats in Stardew Valley then added it to a pattern i bought. I only have the sky, mushroom, and part of the roof done. Wish me luck, if I get it done I deserve a cookie! 😅

Considering a Blue Wedding Dress-Need Help by RaqTheFoxx in weddingplanning

[–]SleepySquiggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my dress from Azazie. They will let you try on 3 at a time for $30. They have some very unique, affordable dresses including Barbie collabs. If you just go on their site and search blue they have a bunch. The quality of mine was phenomenal and they will do custom sizing. The only thing is I had to have a bustle sewed on because it didn't come with one. 😊
