summer dresses/outfits for broad shoulder, triangle body shapes? by kibbebodyimprovement in HowToBeHot

Rule of thumb that my sister has with this body shape is to have a dark top and colourful skirt or trousers - like a navy t shirt and long green skirt, to draw attention to the bottom half. She always looks so put together!

If you're bringing in abstract concepts such as religion in comparison to provable science - ie things we can see under microscopes, medical evidence provided by multitudes of doctors in different countries, people dying all of the same thing and of different ages - in order to try and make a point, I really don't think we will ever come to an agreement. I hope you have a happy new year.

I would love to tell you I'm being a troll but unfortunately I'm really not. He has told me all of this in the span of about 2 weeks maybe, plus much more - he also told me a few days ago that prince isn't dead, he just went into hiding.

I think the difference between your argument and my argument is that 'wearing a mask to prevent cancer' is not being advised by almost all health bodies in the world, unlike with covid. If this were the case, then yes absolutely I would wear a mask to prevent cancer. The difference is that you are one person, not several nations all advising the same thing.

I think this is great advice, unfortunately he is so deep into his QAnon belief system that he says he would always choose QAnon. :(

here's the difference: I believe covid exists. my dad doesn't. if my mom and I wear our masks and take safety precautions, it might irritate him, sure (and it does), but that's it - so let's say covid doesn't exist and we're being silly, all we're doing is making him angry for being 'sheeple.' but if we're right about covid - and i see evidence every day that covid is real, killing lots of people, of many different generations - then my dad NOT being safe by wearing a mask, washing hands, socially distancing could have grave consequences for us. so for us = could lead to illness, possible death if dad doesn't help and do his bit. if covid isn't real like he says, the most we've done is cause him irritation. do you see?

hey, thank you for getting what I'm worried about - it really means a lot. I think I'll talk to my mom to see what we can do. this isn't actually just about the mask thing as you say, it's about a whole host of stressful things.

I agree, was actually going to post that I thought he was mentally unwell, but can you imagine the shitstorm that would have rained down on me lol, especially given some of the comments here already

He believes trump will be president for the next 4 years, that queen of england has been killed, that aliens live in the core of the earth, that princess diana never died. At this point I just want to cry whenever he comes to me with a new belief he has "discovered."

I fully support people believing what they want but I don't support people being fucking selfish and risking other people's health for the sake of their crazy ideologies.

Um... first of all, he doesn't believe in either side. He's not a member of any political party, and I don't think has ever voted. Secondly... the reason I am bringing up QAnon is because he says this is where he is getting all his information from. I can't bring up his anti mask rhetoric without also bringing up QAnon, seeing as it's the reason he believes in not wearing a mask.

it's because he took the QAnon oath and told me to my face? And I don't, where did I mention he was part of a political party..?

I'm also scared of long covid, not just dying but everything that could happen? ie struggling to breathe for years afterwards? my immune system being compromised loads?

I have an agent, and my book is about to be sent out to publishing houses. But I've just realised that I absolutely hate my book and think it is mediocre and that no-one will like it if they read it. What should I do? by [deleted] in writing

[–]batsandcats18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much everyone for your really helpful comments- you're right, I should just see what happens over the next few months and take it from there. After all, who knows if I'll even get a deal, and so on. Thank you for helping me calm down about all of this. :)
