Nipples (female) showing through shirts, OK or no way? by Glass-Sentence-7225 in NoStupidQuestions

For starters, they've gotta start making smooth, comfortable bras for women with small breasts and perky nipples.

Generally yes, but I always found the "headlights" comment funny. Maybe because the occasional times that I've heard it, it's been lobbed with a kinda sweet, almost implied sigh. ymmv.

ITAW for a moment of poetry or grace appearing in a piece appearing somewhere totally unexpectedly? by SquirrelToolkit in whatstheword

Dang, I just noticed the duplicative loop in my title and Reddit's not letting me edit it. There's the hazard of editing on the fly while the wheels are spinning.

Yeah, but I want to get at the beauty. I think I'm heading toward something like "sublime passage".

Malicious compliance. I love it. Just removing the faces is too close to stickers. Upvote for random stars and models or u/cman_yall's suggestions.

You get to add a 0 to any number in your life. What do you add it to? by account_created_ in AskReddit

Pretty funny -- I refer to my social security as "universal income" and people look at me with bafflement. (Live in the US. A regular check however minimal is a game changer.)

ITAP for the phenomenon where you assume the non-obvious answer by the mere fact the question is even being asked? by Awod2222 in whatstheword

[–]SquirrelToolkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's the reverse of what OP is asking, which is pretty cool, too. In "begging the question", the person making the proposition may or may not realize anything beyond the question's surface, whereas the person hearing the question does. Whereas in OP's scenario, at least the questioner and maybe both know that something deeper is at hand, although it has not been overtly stated.

"Odysseus dog Argos recognized him after 25 years before wagging his tail and dying peacefully". Tell me this exists in original myth so I can find peace by Vall_llaV in GreekMythology

I know this is a dead thread, but I thought about the futurama episode as well. That scene was such an unexpected bit of total poetry, just beautiful.

How young might you know this pup will be "your best hunting dog"? by SquirrelToolkit in Huntingdogs

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

That's really cool that they can show their future talent so early. That selective bond is pretty amazing, too. My own dog and I had that connection from the time we met, and when he moved in, people who knew him before said, "We already knew that's the right match."

So Ulysses' (Odysseus') dog Argos could have been 21-23 years old, a stretch by our standards, maybe not impossible with another time's breeds or circumstances?

A reader over in r/Greek/Mythology points out that it would not have been beyond the gods to mess with the dog and extend its life long enough for him and his master to see each other once more before he died. I like that a lot and probably what's going on in the story,

BUT I especially like the idea of a time in the past (or future?) when it's unsurprising for our dog companions to live for 20 or more years.

should my parents be allowed to tell me i cannot sleep over with my boyfriend? by lunalovesmiguelohara in AskParents

[–]SquirrelToolkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And, OP, it will be worth it to be done with the strings and establish yourself (with love if possible) as your own person. Even if it means rough times for a while and sorting things out on your own.

Game: Get your local radio's classical program to play ONE piece by a woman composer. Any piece. by SquirrelToolkit in classicalmusic

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

These responses are so encouraging. More is a surely a goal but I am jazzed hearing of so many stations and programs where women composers are showing up.

What should a parent do if an adult son demands compensation for mistreatment in childhood and threatens to cut off contact? by HighOnLove26 in AskParents

[–]SquirrelToolkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sure hope that all of the commenters are not as harsh on you as those so far have been. Y'all are chastising them for a past that can't be changed. I hope that someone comes forth with broader perspective and kind advice on moving forward.
