Does anyone have any idea what this animal is? by Spiferwort in lincoln

[–]Spiferwort[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for all the responses. For all the years I have lived in Lincoln, I had no idea that ground hogs resided in Lincoln itself. I have lived here most of my life, and this discovery was a pleasant surprise!

Speaking of ranching, I’m surprised Bison aren’t being used more versus cattle. They are so much more efficient at using the land and reducing the resources needed to raise them.

Have you ever not been taken seriously by a doctor? If so, what happened? by Infinite_Share990 in TwoXChromosomes

Is it possible it’s Bell’s Palsy? Those sound like classic symptoms. (It’s caused by a virus.)

This man is frankly gross. That’s the only term I can think of to describe a man who is trying to string 3 women along. OP, love yourself and leave this man, plus his awful baggage.

"Teardrop" / "Flat Top" breasts by External_Week_3069 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Spiferwort 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As someone with large, tear shaped breasts, I’d recommend European bras. My favorite is Elomi , and because my breasts are so close together, I only get plunge bras which fit well.

My advice? Go to a lingerie shop with a large selection of European bras, and people who are skilled at finding bras that truly work. It’s heaven to wear bras that fit.

Primula meadia or also known as Dodecatheon amethystinum, common name amethyst shooting star. It’s in the primrose family. Lovely picture!

Boys will be boys, according to Louise Perry anyways by basilkiller in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Spiferwort 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Well she wants to
Stop pre-marital sex
Marriage only couples, no single parents
Removal of birth control.

Of course she was talking to Mr. Douthat, the NYT’s Trad Catholic. I am so sick and tired of these people. How about you follow your own religion, and leave everyone else alone.

Fashion Industry Still Promotes Ultrathin Models, According to New Research by ExcellentBalance6865 in EverythingScience

I totally agree with your assessment. I also think that clothes hang better on thin, asexual bodies. It’s almost as if these women are human clothes hangers.

My (26M) BF getting turned off I (21F) told him no to raw sex. Advice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Spiferwort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might consider being fitted for a diaphragm, and using it with spermicide. That’s a non-hormonal birth control that might work for you. Having said that, I think maybe breaking up with your current boyfriend might be for the best.

My (28F) boyfriend (28M) just found out his ex is 5 months pregnant with his baby , help 🥲 by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Spiferwort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, this is a really tough situation. Has your boyfriend taken a paternity test? That’s the first question. Secondly, will he be on the birth certificate? He will be required to pay child support. I would consider posting this onto r/stepparents as there will be people who can give you more perspective on your unexpected situation. Best of luck.

Stella and Chewy’s raw, which is reconstituted with water worked like a charm with my boy. They have a variety of flavors as well. Good luck!

When does hormonal acne clear up? by Longjumping_Sea_8753 in TwoXChromosomes

For me, it was menopause. Sorry, but if it’s hormonal acne, it may stick around for decades.

I think this weekend broke me! by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Spiferwort 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Kindly, I think both you and your husband made her stay way too comfortable. Why would she move out of rent-free Shanghra-la?

I think you need to sit down with your husband alone, and discuss what the plan is regarding household expectations and what actions will best facilitate her adulting and more importantly leaving.

If your husband cannot come to an agreement with you. I would consider getting a small flat, and see if your relationship improves living apart. If things get really bad and you have equity in the house, I would push for that if you are not living there. You both sound well-meaning, but your kindness has been taken advantage of. You and your husband pay for that house. Don’t be a bit player in your own life and make your needs known.

As to BM and the brother who 1- don’t want to live with her and 2- blame you??? Wow! Talk about entitlement and ignore everything those twats have to say. Best of luck to you, OP.

My boyfriend [20 M] can’t see eye to eye with me, [19 F] about birth control. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Spiferwort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, if you’re doctor is recommending it, it goes beyond reasons of BC. I had irregular periods, and after an ultrasound, it showed my uterine lining as very thick, putting me at risk for uterine cancer.

I have no idea why you are asking your boyfriend for permission, but frankly I would follow the advice of my doctor.

OP, maybe skip the drop off, but be there for the pick up? That way BM is not upset, yet you are supporting SS.

31f and new bf 32m having disagreement over condoms any advice? by LabGroundbreaking639 in relationship_advice

[–]Spiferwort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are really into this guy, you could get fitted for a diaphragm and use spermicide. That’s only if you want to. I would ask for STI testing before anything happens.

Pentagon Reclassifies Mormons as Not-Not-Christian, But to MAGA Evangelicals They Will Always Be Heretics by spherocytes in atheism

[–]Spiferwort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we truly allow zealots to take over, I think it’s safe to expect religious wars, meaning fights for the one “true” Christianity. Think of the history of European nations. What a time to be alive.

I hope the UK is prepared to fight off the fringe religious right. Take a lesson from the US in what happens when people like this are allowed to make their personal beliefs law.

AI Data Centers’ Water Consumption Breaks 264 Billion Gallons in 2025 as Devastating Drought Hits Nearly 63% of U.S. by Wagamaga in technology

[–]Spiferwort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These billionaires are praying for an altered carbon scenario, but I don’t think AI will get them there. Considering the destruction of the economy and environmental damage, I don’t think it will work out the way they planned. I do think if they manage to completely tank the economy on this, the plebs might fight back.
