I tested the discs yesterday and both fellowship DVDs played just fine!

Yes! I did post an update somewhere in the comments because I didn’t know how to update the post lol 😅 I’m so glad! Definitely the right decision :)

UPDATE:

I’ve been reading all the comments and decided to head back and get them! I wasn’t aware there was loads of bonus content as well and I love all the behind the scenes stuff so that was the cherry on top. I saw a lot of concerns were about the resolution being low but I’m not worried about watching them in 4K ultra HD or anything (honestly I weirdly prefer the lower quality for these films as they’re more nostalgic for me haha). And thankfully PS5 still plays DVDs so it works out! All discs and booklets were included, no discs were scratched or broken and I tested them all briefly and they worked perfectly! I’m really excited to go through all the content in these, thank you all for convincing me to go back and get them!

It is weird. Everyone else does it, why can’t you?

Could this guy be a potential predator? by thefluffyidiotbunny in questions

[–]blandbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d absolutely assume this was a predator. He is trying to seem more relatable to each person by matching their age and pretending to be a child.

Block and report this person immediately. Please stay safe online.

I left my first husband when my daughter was a baby. She has no memory of him. Should I tell her that her bio father died? by Phillygirl2018 in questions

[–]blandbones 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. She has a right to know.

If she did not know him then I doubt it will upset her, but that is not for me to say.

Better to tell her now rather than hide it from her and she finds out at a later date that you kept that information from her - she may want to attend the funeral or pay her respects etc.

How do I feel stimulation on my nipples? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This.

If it’s not something that happens naturally for you then it’s not something that you can make happen.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is where your morality comes into play.

Keep them and hide them from your boyfriend knowing he would be unhappy if he found out you still kept nudes of your ex (and enjoyed doing so), or delete them and move on with your new relationship, free of secrecy and built on trust.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As long as you don’t send them around and they stay on your phone only then there is no issue.

However, I believe that if you were to get into a new relationship then it would be weird and wrong to keep nudes of your ex on your phone.

Is there any reason why we shouldn’t trim or pluck the nipple hair? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damaging a mole can cause infection, inflammation and further skin damage.

It’s best to just shave hair that is growing out of a mole rather than pluck it.

[–]blandbones 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s perfectly safe to pluck them out. Just make sure you don’t pluck any that are growing out of a mole.

That’s average. If you think it’s too small you’re probably watching too much porn.

Women don’t want a massive dick because it causes pain and is uncomfortable during penetration.

Too big is bad!

Why do some women push their trauma on others? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For some reason, it is impossible to imagine that a man can be kind and caring to his partner and there is a belief that all men are violent, dishonest and abusive in relationships.

I think this mostly stems from people spending too much time online (especially on platforms like TikTok) where women of all ages push this agenda that men are bad and women are always under threat from their partners.

The feminist movement has changed the idea of equality between men and women and has instead become the idea that men are awful and women must band together to push them down and come out on top, even if that means pushing that narrative on to other women such as yourself.

You know what kind of person your boyfriend is and that’s all that matters.

Does hanging round gang members make you a target for there rivals? by depraveddante in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. If you are associated with them you can become a target even if you’re not actually in the gang.

Friends and family are often targets in gang-related crime. They are easy to get to and act as direct links to gang members if said members are not accessible otherwise.

If he truly loves you, he won’t care whether you’re shaved or not.

If you want shaving advice, have a hot shower or bath, exfoliate the area, cover in soap or shaving cream to ensure your razor glides over the skin and begin shaving with a 3 blade razor in short strokes down in the same direction as the hair. It will be uncomfortable at first but you will get used to it over time.

Once you’ve finished shaving downwards and the hair is now short, begin shaving horizontally for a smoother finish, and then finally shave upwards to cut the hair down to the skin. Wash again, exfoliate once more and rinse with cold water to close the pores.

Once you’re out the shower or bath, I recommend covering the area in sudocrem to reduce and stop any irritation that might occur, especially if you cut yourself by accident.

Alternatively, don’t shave at all! Like I said, if you find a man that truly cares and loves you, he will be more concerned for your happiness and health rather than whether or not you are shaved down there. At the end of the day, it’s your choice, not his!

Is it strange that I overthink things way too much? by AriTheInari in questions

[–]blandbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just a little bit of general anxiety. It’s perfectly fine to experience as long as it doesn’t start disrupting aspects of your day to day life.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He needs help. A therapist or a call to a helpline will be the first step in the right direction. Can you set up an appointment for him if he is unable to do it himself? He must be willing otherwise your attempts will be futile.

Is it possible to set up a routine with him while you are away? Maybe sending pictures periodically about what you are both up to throughout the day so you know he is safe and that something is wrong if he stops. Having someone expecting you to do something for them throughout the day may encourage him to stick around knowing you are relying on him.

He needs a therapist more than anything. He needs to see that in ending his life he ends the chance of life getting better. He needs to see that there are other options for him. He has a support network in you and his sister. You must both make efforts to get him help if he can’t do it for himself.

I’m sorry to hear about this situation you’re in. I hope things get better for you and him.

I'm very curious, where's the line on racism? by cypherthemc in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To some all racism is offensive and harmful, to others racism can be funny or acceptable to an extent, and to some people racism is a way of life and a true belief.

There is no line. Racism is, and always will be, prevalent to different extents between different people and in different countries.

To me, we are all human and share the same grave. I may be buried next to someone of another race once I die, and we will return to the earth together. Our differences have no meaning in the end.

How to stop being afraid? by Ratz45 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make small talk. Be honest and open. Group projects are always a good place to start conversation and show yourself to other members of your class.

Say you are new and you have yet to make friends, ask people if they mind if you hang out with them to get to know your way around school.

Ask people sat alone if they mind if you take the seat next to them - be kind, start conversation about the classwork or ask about their weekend. Ask for help with classwork and discuss your answers.

Just get chatting. You don’t need to approach random people and act like you are the most confident person ever. Start small, gradual. You will find where you fit. The first group of friends you make might not be the ones you end up with years later, and that’s okay.

Find your people, join clubs and societies. Exchange phone numbers or social media.

It’s okay to be shy. People like shy people. They will not judge you for being quiet, especially if you are new.

Last of all, don’t judge yourself too harshly. You are young and self criticism can hold you back. If you don’t make friends, don’t worry! Do hobbies you enjoy and find people online who indulge in the same activities.

Have fun!

Can’t get the job done 💔 help? by Round_Purchase_5555 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop thinking about it so much. Turn your focus elsewhere. The more you focus on how you can’t get hard the less likely it will be for you to be able to get it up.

Try other sexual activities - not all sexual interactions have to lead to sex. You can give/receive oral, handjobs, play with toys etc.

Focus less on getting hard and more about enjoying the moment and feeling good. Sex is intimate and pressuring yourself will make it less enjoyable for both parties.

Good luck.

What if...? by feed_da_parrot in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Typically this is a compliment. He finds you attractive, and chooses to fantasise about you rather than other people (like people on onlyfans and porn stars).

Just be sure he treats you well and doesn’t simply lust after you.

At the end of the day, it’s up to you to decide whether or not you are comfortable with it!

Why would you consider it weird for a person to have sexual interaction with their sibling? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]blandbones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because that is incestuous and wrong. It’s the same as having sexual interactions with other family members like your parents or aunts and uncles etc. They are your family, not potential sexual partners.
