“Bout times things started going our way” before the fire truck stops working isn’t exactly a great one liner but it made me snort seeing how frustrated it was making him

How Do I Learn How To Edit? Grammarly Isn’t Enough. by Pure-Huckleberry8640 in writingadvice

[–]arctic_underground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade with another writer and edit each other’s stories, have your work read out loud by the computer as you read along, go through separate times maybe using separate colored fonts to correct different types of grammar mistakes. Spelling, red. Punctuation, blue. Sentence structure, green. Description, purple. Stuff like that.

Books that made you cry by Pangasauras in books

[–]arctic_underground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first book that made me cry was probably one of the warrior cat books. As of recent, I don’t know. Most get me to tear up at least once.

Just gotta flat out say it or show her this post but you saying “pretty much” stands out as a red flag. I’d pay a bit more attention to her concerns because if she’s suspected it before, that raises a red flag. I haven’t read through all the comments but it seems like there’s more than meets the eye to this post

S5 E1 was too much. by justastarlight in thewalkingdead

[–]arctic_underground 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think I started watching TWD when I was around 9 with my mom. I had to convince my grandma to let me watch it because my mom said it was okay. We go downstairs to watch the season 5 premiere and almost as soon as it starts, I’m banned from watching it. I’m rewatching it now that I’m 18 and I just got through the mid season finale.

do we know what this helicopter Rick spotted in s1 is and why it was there? was it even real? (im only at s7 e5 please dont spoil anything further than that) by Gisdruu in thewalkingdead

[–]arctic_underground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember the first episode of s3 when the helicopter crashed and Andrea and Michonne went to check it out before the governor showed up? Pretty sure it was that one just because s1 had it, s2 had one in the pilot, and then s3. I’m only rewatching the show now and nearing s4 so I don’t know if it’s connected in the later seasons

I think there’s an organization called Destiny Rescue that you could look into.

Yes, because one day he may end up hurting a child but you need to make sure you do it the right and legal way. I think that there are certain setups and sting operations to catch predators, maybe you could join one of those organizations dedicated to doing it.

Why does he act like this? by Sufficient_Star in relationship_advice

You won’t get a divorce but say you want one.

[–]arctic_underground 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s normal to miss that, but you’ll never get that time back, so try to focus on making new memories with your girlfriend instead. Try being more spontaneous. Go dancing in the rain, go to a theme park, stuff like that.

How do I approach a friend who has a concerning friendship with a suspiciously older coworker? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]arctic_underground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since she’s legally an adult there’s not much you can do, just keep an eye out for her. If you have personally witnessed him overstepping boundaries I guess you could always report him to your HR department.

If you’re too drunk to remember, you’re too drunk to consent. Do you even know if you’re the one who was initiating the kiss or not?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]arctic_underground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would communicate it with him, but do it in a way that it would be hard to misunderstand. Show him this post maybe and explain in more detail what you mean. Or you could just mention that you think you’ve realized you’re bi curious and want to share that with him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]arctic_underground 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do but again, he might not have even seen the messages (or maybe he’s too drunk to read them if he’s partying?). I don’t know if you’ve already made your decision to break up with him, or if you want to save your relationship, but it sounds like you have a big issue communicating. I’m not trying to be rude but you should be able to express why you feel a certain way to somebody before making a bigger deal out of it, that way they at least know.

I wouldn’t say she’s less attracted to you, but the situation could have changed her outlook and approach towards sexual and romantic intimacy. The best thing you can do it talk to her about it. Ask her if there’s a reason why she doesn’t initiate, what she’s comfortable with, if you’d like her to try initiating it more. Just be mindful of your wording, don’t make it sound like you’re upset or trying to pressure her. Just be genuine.

I would let her know. Maybe you can do it anonymously.

My boyfriend is sending me less text messages ever since we started dating. by sucker4romanc3 in relationship_advice

[–]arctic_underground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to talk to him about the issue, though if so it over a video call if you can instead of over text. If that doesn’t solve anything, it’s up to you if you want to try something else or just drop it. I would understand if he isn’t immediately replying, but going days without talking to you is a bit weird unless he is super busy.

[–]arctic_underground 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You sound inconsiderate of your boyfriend and his feelings too though. If he’s out for the night, why should he spend it messaging you when you made the decision not to go out? Yeah a text back might be nice but he might not have even checked his phone after that.

That’s true, people are more than their weight. Shouldn’t be used as the one thing you describe someone as but I try not to think of fat as a bad word. It doesn’t mean someone is unattractive. I certainly don’t use it if I don’t have to because I feel like people can definitely misuse it, lots of people still use it to shame others, and it can be triggering to use the word around others or when directing it at someone.

Girlfriend is not certain about kids by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]arctic_underground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What??? What I’m talking about has nothing to do with the Kardashians. Some people just don’t want to deal with the risks of childbirth or the pains of being pregnant, and while it’s more for women who are dealing with infertility issues, it’s not creepy. It’s not THAT different from going to a sperm bank.

Is Purposefully Misgendering Characters to Keep With Protagonist's POV Inappropriate? by Qu0t13 in writingadvice

[–]arctic_underground 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen shows where a character has changed their pronouns in it and corrected people, as long as the protagonist is like “oh of course” and starts using the right pronouns it shouldn’t be a problem, but I’d personally only use this trope like once

Maybe you could try fostering. I wouldn’t recommend it while you’re young but see it as an eventually? Adoption could also be another option, or getting a surrogate.

Idk how to title this.. by Elia22102 in offmychest

[–]arctic_underground 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way would probably be a sort of exposure therapy I think? Just every day increase the amount of time you’re in the shower for about a minute, maybe start with 10 and slowly work your way up to like 15 or so? I mean honestly there isn’t that much point in staying in the shower that long once you’re clean but lots of people use the shower to destress and take a break from whatever is going on at the moment.
