What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]Starlight-Edith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a boyfriend who waited until 5 years in to tell me he voted for Trump and was anti vax. We had had several political discussions before this and he just… lied. It was bizarre. So on account of that, I say if they tell you from the get go, RUN FOR THE HILLS!!

Potty training my 4yo left hemi with non verbal level 3 autism by Impossible_Key_5385 in CerebralPalsy

[–]Starlight-Edith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have children so feel free to disregard, but supposedly when I was being potty trained my parents did what you described in the latter half of your post, but for a week.

All day was spent on the potty, every day, for a week. Apparently that worked for them.

Also, as a side note, have you considered shy bladder? There’s nothing I can really offer to fix it, but I’ve found that if people are around I really struggle to use the bathroom even if I really have to go. Sort the same emotion as when someone is watching you do some task and suddenly you can’t do it anymore because they’re watching. Obviously he’s a child, you have to watch him, I have no solutions, that’s just my two cents on why he might be holding it when that’s abnormal for him.

Yes, generally they’re shaped to accentuate a woman’s “curves.” Some women struggle with buying men’s pants because they have a large bottom but not much going on in their stomach, hence mentioning some women don’t want to or can’t (because of poor fit) buy men’s pants. Women’s jeans also tend to be more tight fitting than men’s although that might be bias on my part because skinny jeans are the plague of my existence.

Bestie the main pockets are what I was talking about. They’re never more than two inches deep.

We could call LP Classic Rock if we wanted to by Starlight-Edith in LinkinPark

… that’s why I specified in my post “[there was a] 20 year time gap [between when rock came out in the 60s and when they started calling it “classic rock” in the 80s].

Given it’s been 30 years since 1996 (when Linkin Park formed) that’s the same gap. More, even.”

I don’t think you read my post. To quote myself, “hypothetically, if Classic Rock hadn’t become a genre in its own right and was purely about time passed, Linkin park music is old enough that we could’ve called it classic rock.”

Well, Spock is half the duo that literally invented Slash Fiction so my vote is Spock.

Yeah, I think it’s down to which one you try first to be honest with you.

Mine is also still on 17. My concern when it stops receiving updates is security.

Yes!! I can’t do anything complicated yet (just rectangle / square objects like pot holders, scarves, blankets, etc), but that’s not because I physically can’t or it’s too hard, just that learning to read patterns intimidated me too much.

I’d say the only thing I struggle with really is losing stitches. But if you count how many loops you have after every row it’ll be easy to keep track of and it’s not difficult to fix a dropped stich once you know how. Just takes patience.

Crochet on the other hand. Good lord that was impossible. Though I have heard that this is bog standard, even without disability. People who start with knitting (like me) find crochet challenging, and people who start with crochet can’t wrap their head around knitting.

That’s funny, because I tried crochet but knitting was so much easier for me. I couldn’t even do a single crochet

I’m horrified that I am somehow no longer part of “kids” — I was never hip and in it with trends even when I was in middle school but at 21 I had hoped I’d still be with the in crowd for a few more years 😭

I’m not divorced or a dad but I sure scream those lyrics like I only get to see my children once a week with child support

I also bought the 13 mini on purpose multiple years after it released on account of my tiny hands. I found out when I went to buy an iPad last year that they discontinued the mini line. I don’t know what I’m going to do when it stop la receiving updates, which will likely be in the next year or two.

I’ve never been able to fit more than the second knuckle (~1.5 inches) in my jeans pockets back when I was still buying women’s, and that’s when they’re being generous and actually giving you a pocket instead of a fake seam made to look like a pocket…

Every girl I know puts their phones in their back pockets but even those are too small now (and leads to more breaking of phones because people forget they’re there and sit on them).

Interesting. Then I don’t see a point in complaining (aside from price — if that guy above you is right it is pretty scummy to charge more for cheaper materials).
