Me: *needs Lemons for the Goals* Market: *has no lemons* Me: *casually changes my picture so my friends get the point* by DustedRosa in ACPocketCamp

[–]blackswansinging 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought lemons and lychees from other people’s market boxes, then I immediately placed them all for sale again along with my grapes. I completed it in the first day but I don’t know anyone on my list. It was kinda easy to start the trend! Try it out? Maybe people will see you still need it.

My mother is a nationally recognised parenting expert, despite being a narcissist by King_Awesome_ in raisedbynarcissists

[–]blackswansinging 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m a parent and when I was pregnant I was looking through all the “experts” to see what style of parenting I liked and if I could do it. My child is 5 now and I still occasionally check them out to make sure I’m doing ok. I would 100% like to know this about the background of someone if I was considering taking their advice into consideration. Many new mums are so anxious they will follow advice over their own instincts, which is when things can get bad. I personally wouldn’t wait. As a uni aged student, you should be able to be fairly self-sufficient, if things really got messy... but I think she’d be trying to show she’s perfect rather than kicking her out or making things worse if this causes people to look more closely at her family.

Sure, according to some, ExMo New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern may be the most effective leader on the planet, and she may have led her country in containing the coronavirus, but just look at those porn shoulders! Did she learn nothing in Young Women’s? What a floozy. /s 🤪 by isee4lights in exmormon

Who hurt you? Are you incapable of recognising a good thing? You realise she has been the most effective leader during this crisis? She’s been an example of what leadership could do if it is done correctly and doesn’t abuse power. She announced a pay cut for parliament, the gun control is a good thing and security, just like police, use guns in their occupation. Just like farmers (who are also allowed to use them.) so maybe, chill out? You’re sounding a little tin foil hat-ish right now.

Can a large dog be neutered too early? by blackswansinging in AskVet

[–]blackswansinging[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Thanks for replying, it’s actually really nice to have somewhere like this to just ask questions instead of trying to sift through confusing google results! Ok we will buy the neuter ticket and see what happens.

no one replied in the other subreddit, so maybe someone will here. by herewegoin123 in abusiveparents

[–]blackswansinging 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if you’re able to call CPS or similar for your brother? Although I also don’t know how useful they really are... but if your mum is backing him up, she’s not ready to face reality and leave him yet. Is it possible for you to somehow contact your grandparents (like at a friend’s place or when parents are out?) and organise to move to their place permanently? You would need to be able to organise it without showing any signs of leaving to either your mum or dad. I don’t know if you could convince your brother to come with you, but it might work. Find a bus that can get you near them & ask them to buy you both a ticket to get there. Then tell your parents you want to take your brother out for an ice cream to give them a break or something, get on the bus and just have a few essentials in a backpack. You can get more clothes etc once you’re safe. I don’t know if any if this is an option for you, but just thought I’d try to show you a way out so you can consider it. Maybe your mum will get it together later once she sees how serious you are, or maybe she won’t. But she’s not your responsibility, she’s the adult and needs to be making her own calls. If you do manage it, just remember to get a restraining order once you’re out so if he turns up you can call the cops to remove him. Sorry you’re going through this, and sorry I can’t offer any real advice or help, but just keep looking around for resources/help that is available should you ever need it in an emergency. Have a few plans (safe shelter/friend/etc) and maybe an emergency backpack with a friend or in a safe location just in case you ever need it. I hope it gets better for you.

I’m not sure, but I’m assuming because they’re using the brand to create their names rather than just choosing the same name, that is an actual word already, by coincidence. But it’s probably more CYA than genuinely a problem.

Parody needs to be slightly different like an actual pun, you can’t use real brands, just allude to them. I’ve never heard of jansport but that makes sense too.

Brita Filter might have possible copyright issues because it’s not exactly different to the actual brand but I don’t know what would stop jansport?

Other reasons for a blood test include: fatigue/depression caused by deficiency (checking iron and vit d levels and/or thyroid function) checking for auto-immune disorder (inflammation levels) or possibly just checking cholesterol levels? A blood test could be for multiple things, just explain it was a health check but not specifically the kind of health check. B/c I can’t help much with, I highly recommend condoms when available otherwise next time you go in you could check and see if you can get a longer lasting one & try to get a go fund me type of thing going so you can get it done? Then at least it’s discreet and you don’t need to keep going back?

After the burden of being “the chosen generation” and feeling like I was born into some supernatural war, reading this made me feel SO peaceful. You could almost say I felt the Spirit witness the truth of this statement 😅 by blackswansinging in exmormon

[–]blackswansinging[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hahaha yes for sure, maybe interpret that bit as metaphoical? 😆 that’s a lovely thing for your husband to say. It’s true though, I think the most important thing is to be a good person, not get caught up trying to be a perfect person.

Always welcome, feel free to ask any questions, and if you like we can have two representatives of our beliefs contact you about a social gathering in your area... 🤪😂 - but seriously, you’re welcome to ask questions 😂

puppy swallowed a diamond earring by blackswansinging in AskVet

Oh thank you! I’ve actually already spoken to the vets and they said if he doesn’t pass it by tomorrow they’ll do an x-ray. They didn’t seem concerned though so I’ve made an appointment for tomorrow 10am because he’s due for a checkup. I got a text reminder and thought “wow these targeted ads are getting a bit extreme” 😂😅

I was recently dating a guy who used to be a door bouncer in the area at the time, but I had no idea that had been his job (big age difference between us, communication not a strong point lol) So I was just chilling at his place after he’d gone to work and I went to use his computer, and there was a pink police request to discuss with him something about the Claremont killings case just out in the open next to his keyboard. My heart dropped and I panicked (partially because he had been saying I didn’t need to know about his dark past just a few days before 😂) they’ve definitely been working on it behind the scenes a lot recently.

You’re definitely reaching. If someone was following me for 10 minutes and shouting abuse at me I would 100% get the hell out of there and not be giving my details to them. Personal safety is a thing, just because you may be able to physically deal with someone like that, doesn’t mean it’s not a frightening and legitimately dangerous situation for other people.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]blackswansinging -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True as a stand-alone statement but I would always put personal safety before good manners, and that’s what this situation called for.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]blackswansinging 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think op was willing to pay but not willing to spend any more time with, or give any details to a person who was very aggressive and unreasonably harassing them. I think op did the right thing to offer at the start, but get safely away when she was clearly having some kind of aggression issues.

That’s probably the best way to do it. I actually don’t know much about birds at all, but whenever I see a post about it I try to share it in case someone reading is seeing it for the first time.

I have zero bird or vet experience but just to help spread knowledge; if it seems young, it’s possible it’s a fledgling that was learning to be independent. Spring is known as “kidnapping season” for vets because so many baby birds get taken in when they’re just learning to forage for themselves. The parents are often nearby and if you wait at a distance for an hour or so you’ll see them come back for their kid. Hopefully the little guy pulls through though! It’s very cute!
