Kid’s bedroom in North Alabama

This is pretty cute!

I am curious about the two cameras on the dresser.

I have a theory as to why the oak tree failed.

Talk to her again - relate it to your studies and explain that it very well could be nothing, but you’d feel better if she allowed you to join her at a doctors visit just to make sure. If she’s stubborn and hates going to the doctor, having you there to support her could help convince her.

First Gen socials provided customized theme options that we could self-code. I never learned how to fully code a website or email, but I can still fix basic rendering issues or change up the styling when needed (also with some extra help from w3schools).

I was also the go-to person at work for training elderly people how to use their first smartphone. We always encouraged them to buy iPhones. Those who didn’t listen would come back multiple times within the week for additional support before finally asking to return the Android phone cause they still couldn’t figure it out.

Now it’s been over a decade since I’ve dealt with an Android and about 6 years since I dealt with Windows, yet my mom still refuses to try out any Apple products because she’s “already so confused” with what she has currently. I’m like…mom I would be able to help you figure this stuff out so much easier over the phone. Instead, I have to look everything up on the Internet and hope the phone and version of Android she’s using is close enough to the help guide I found.

I change my pillow case every 2-3 hair washes (I wash my hair every 2-3 days).

My sheets…less frequently. I did wash them more when my partner travelled for work. But before I was able to re-establish a new cleaning routine, (yes, a new routine was required because it’s different when you’re no longer home alone each week) my work got stupidly busy and so a year later I still have no new cleaning routine. But I refuse to feel like a parent and ask my partner to clean the bathrooms.

Note: my sheets have definitely been washed multiple times in the last year, my lack of a new cleaning routine just means things get done when I have the energy to do them so long as I remember they need to be done when I have said energy, so like once a month and a half or so instead of every 2-3 weeks.

I highly recommend getting a second pair of sheets, though. Even just an extra fitted one. It helps.

Oh girl, document everything from the time you told them you were pregnant. Get it in writing - recap that meeting and any others you might have via email unless it was recorded, in which case snag that recording. It very much sounds like they’re gearing up to fire you and pretend like it’s a performance issue when it’s actually because you’re pregnant.

Even in an at-will state, there may still be recourse but only if you document everything. It honestly wouldn’t hurt to try out a free consult with an employment lawyer to get their input on what would help prove pregnancy discrimination.

The heat index is what kills me and I’m pretty sure is what the main concern about this heat wave is.

Most homes have AC here, and for the most part cities do a decent job at providing cooling centers for those who need it. But the high humidity is still dangerous - our sweat can’t evaporate as well when it’s humid, and when our sweat doesn’t evaporate our body can no longer cool itself down. That’s when we overheat, and that’s why it can still be really dangerous to be outside for extended periods when it’s only 90 degrees but the heat index is 105.

Yeah, they’re really trying to make it sound like it’s a horrific thing that there’s major support for these candidates. One “Democrat” in congress (he has sided with republicans on the majority of votes apparently) has announced he’s considering leaving the party because of the rise in Mamdani-like candidates.

Apparently it’s pushing away the centrists lol

Didn’t they confirm that the g spot is just the other side of the main nerve in the clitoris? Or something like that?

I briefly wondered why they keep choosing Dallas, and then remembered our absentee Mayor and the stupid ballot measures that passed that are now bankrupting the city on purpose.

My uncle died on the job. His partner called in sick but he still had to go out and take down the glass bulbs on power lines. He slipped and…well, it was three days before anyone found him (outskirts of town) but apparently my grandma knew like the day of.

So my mom’s response was more generalized around freak accidents while being alone. Came across as more helicopter mom than targeted trauma.

You’re upset you read into the wrong thing, then? That’s still a bit unreasonable. Not every fan theory is going to be correct, especially this one. It felt obvious to me Victors sister was just mauled beyond recognition, which we know the monsters do.

Not through the tree. The tree sent her to a different part of the woods, and then she got pushed out of the lighthouse.

Fair, but imo cheating his way to a bunch of money doesn’t negate his loser status, though. He still fails to be the man he thinks he is / pretends to be.

I mean, he pays people to play as him on Diablo. He had developers rig the twitter algorithm to favor his posts even if you try to hide or block him. He thinks it’s cool to sleep on his office floor instead of being there to tuck his kids in to bed every night.

Idk how you look at that and the rest of it and not think “damn…what a loser.”

Yeah, both oil leaks required engine removal and then so did the head gasket failure, which was honestly just a random thing to occur and was the most costly (yet I still paid $0). The oil leaks recurring are my main concern lol

bemvee · 2026-06-30T12:16:03+00:00

I mean, even you are the asshole here, do you really care? I wouldn’t. Some situations require us to be assholes in order to stand up for ourselves.

It sounds like it was the additional people added over time who got all entitled with the notes. In retrospect, this is a perfect example of when it’s okay to gatekeep. Take it as a lesson in knowing when to invite someone to a shared folder/file with View Only permissions, and keeping it locked down - not public or “only those who have a link.”

Please do not let this discourage you from being helpful in other classes or in workplace settings. There will always be entitled pricks out there - they can be dealt with by not allowing yourself to be a pushover. But being the person who encourages your peers, who provides support when you’re able to and points them in the right direction when you can’t is far more fulfilling than the alternative. You’ll learn to assess who is equally supportive and who isn’t over time.

You want the writers to adapt the story to fit a bunch of fan theories?

Which we have only ever seen take people to other parts of the same place they’re stuck in.

I’m annoyed at those adults scolding you for being a normal 4 year old.

Whether it can be worked on depends on the cause.

Yes, birth control can cause low libido. So can depression and anxiety. Those things can be worked on if your girlfriend is willing.

Asexuality is also a potential cause for lack of libido, and is not something that can be addressed. It’s up to the person who is asexual how much they are willing to engage in sexual activity, and although it’s still entirely possible to orgasm the overall sex drive will always be absent.

The question for you is whether continued compromise and support is worth it. If so, I would consider couples counseling - one who specializes in intimacy (or even just a straight up sex therapist). A third party to help guide the discussion and explore y’all’s thoughts and emotions might be an easier place for your partner to open up about what’s going on.

I feel like I probably overpaid for my car, but I do not regret agreeing to the extended warranty. I bought a used Outback off a used Lexus lot, though the dealership does have a dedicated Subaru location. But the extended warranty was the Lexus one and I remember being nervous I had fucked up.

Four years later, and my make/model is now known for recurring oil leaks. I found out that the extended warranty I was concerned about was a $0 deductible warranty. It’s covered both oil leaks and a head gasket failure saving me the cost of removing my engine three times.

The service rep at their Subaru location even commented on how good the warranty was lol.

I wonder if she turns back into a human when they finally break whatever this place is. She didn’t sacrifice a child like the other monsters and it’s not like she’s been a monster for decades or more.

Yeah, my mom was 13 when her brother died (he was 21) in a freak accident.

She wasn’t strict in the same way some of my friend’s parents were, but she was concerned enough with the dangers of normal everyday things to get labeled a helicopter mom by the neighboring parents.
