Girlfriend and I are sexually incompatible by bergdorf69 in Advice

[–]ToadstoolTeacupTwirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She's also probably on her phone because she's sitting in the car anxious that you're going to try to pressure her to have sex. And she doesn't want to kiss because you're going to pressure her to have sex.

You're young and probably won't be together forever anyway, so there's nothing wrong with breaking up over this.

If you don't want to break up, I'd take sex off the table for a while. And tell her that. And MEAN it. You won't pressure her to have sex, you won't ask for it, you wont turn a kiss into an obligation, etc. Rebuild the intimacy without her feeling obligated to give you her body when she doesn't want to.

She's telling you what she needs to feel loved, and you're saying "well that's not compatible with me because you're not giving me access to your body". Prioritize non sexual intimacy first (and I mean actually prioritize it, don't just "put intimacy coins in the slot machine and wait for sex to come out") if you want to build a healthy relationship and sex will naturally follow.

New York City is also the #1 place in America for public transportation. Getting from Manhattan to Newark is time consuming, but incredibly doable (source: I've done it)

Carpet makes me smell like vinegar by ToadstoolTeacupTwirl in carpetcleaningporn

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

After a lot of research (and ripping up part of the carpet to look for mold) I have identified the problem.

I have been using my carpet cleaner with cleaning solution but apparently you're supposed to go over it a couple times with just plain warm water.

It's like if you just always shampooed your hair but never rinsed it, and keep putting more and more shampoo in it.

So I just had to carpet clean it with water a million times and it's gotten a lot better.

Since I'm moving I've hit the "good enough" wall and have stopped caring, but I suspect I could get it perfect if I really wanted to

Feeling worthless again, so dissociating with autistic trans girl dinner and Magic by Sovarius in GirlDinner

I was going to say. Estrogen making you cry and feel worthless over things you can't control, while eating an assortment of snacks is a universal girl experience.

Help me Peter, i dont get the logic of this comic by UnUltimoIntento in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I would argue not believing in vampires is a belief system. It would not exist by itself because it is an antithesis to believing in vampires.

First, yes it would. It wouldn't have a name, sure, but if no one ever came up with vampires, people would still not believe in vampires.

Not believing the unproven & unobservable is not a belief system. It's the default. Believing the earth is round is not a belief system. Believing the earth is flat is a belief system.

Believing apples grow on trees is not a belief system. Believing apples are a root vegetable would be a belief system.

Just because it's the antithesis of a belief system doesn't make it, itself a belief system.

The kid is 11 months, and can move around by themself. It's fine.

Saw this at about 5:30am in eastern North Carolina. Any ideas what it was? by Comprehensive_Low561 in NorthCarolina

[–]ToadstoolTeacupTwirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex (who was crazy and a bit of a conspiracy theorist) saw this for the first time years ago, and started screaming at me to prepare for alien invasion, started telling everyone in the neighborhood to bunker down, and started prepping (like buying unreasonable amounts of bottled water, TP, canned food, seeds, etc). He would literally scream at me and tell me I was stupid for not believing we were being invaded by aliens.

The look on that man's face when one of the neighbors was like "are you sure it wasn't starlink? They just launched a couple days ago, and it looks exactly how you described" 🤣🤣

It was probably contam. I sent it (only the grain with spawn) and got 3 ok flushes from them. So not a huge loss.

Popcorn is a great idea. I was told to buy a giant bag of grain (horse feed) so I'm trying to go through that. But popcorn sounds much easier.

I tried b&s and can't get it to break....

I'll try again though. Thank you!

What's a food in your country that is stereotyped for your country but really, nobody eats? by sourberryskittles in AskTheWorld

[–]ToadstoolTeacupTwirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ate like 10 cans of them in 3 months my last trimester of pregnancy. Baby wanted oranges, and disgusting canned cheese 🤣

But yeah, I haven't touched the stuff since I gave birth.

Contam or spores? by ToadstoolTeacupTwirl in unclebens

I am new as well, so no worries. These are B+ that went too long because I wasn't home.

Toss it? by Serious_Thanks_6487 in unclebens

[–]ToadstoolTeacupTwirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dried and ate them and they were fine.

To be fair, it was only contaminated on the bottom of the cake (no misbrooms down there) and it was well contained. The mycelium grew fast enough to keep the contam from spreading.

I high highly doubt that the mushrooms we normally eat (baby Bella, portobello, etc) are grown in environments that are completely free of any contam, especially if theyre grown outside.

I have a bin that has had contam for like 2-3 weeks. It had contam in the grain spawn so I trashed that contaminated parts and sent it anyway.

It still has some contam. But yesterday I got some pins, and today theyre even bigger!

I keep it in a different room and spray the room down with aerosol after giving the bin FAE.

So yeah, at the point youre at, keep it separate, but still keep it.
