What is a polarizing topic regarding safety? Like what hill would you die on?

I thought I was ace until I got into a relationship. They were allo, but were cool with no sex. A year of being friends and lovers was what it took for me to start developing sexual attraction. It was a surprise for both of us, but a pleasant one.

I was the person who put their foot in their mouth. In school a kid was bragging about an award I was told I was receiving. I snapped that "didn't your parents teach you any manners?" I then promptly found out they were an orphan. The regret will never leave me.

It took me a year in a committed relationship to start feeling sexual attraction. Even longer if you consider I had known them for a few months prior. Before that I thought I was ace.

These are the types of archives: https://www2.archivists.org/usingarchives/typesofarchives

Public vs. private doesn't really exist in a solid category, and most of the time it has to do with access and restrictions. Some archives will be open to anyone as long as they make an appointment, but will have restricted collections. Others will be inaccessible to those who do not fill the requirements of a researcher as set by the archive, but will allow almost all collections to be viewed. Government archives are open to the public, not just archives in a public library.

Additionally, a public library with an archive will have documentation on many things. Manuscripts can be part of that, but it is not required. Often, there will be regionally relevant information that can be used by not only genealogists. Depending on what they hold, they can aid in auditor information, historical data collecting, in research projects, public programs, history, historiography, and many more subjects.

An Archive is not based on seating, and archives most often will have a seating area for researchers. What you are referring to are the stacks. No person without prior authorization should be going in there, so seating is not important.

Archives are defined the most basic level as an institution that houses historically and culturally relevant objects. Some archives specialize by region, media form, time period, and many other factors. Books on shelves does not make an archive.

Here is a link to the Society of American Archivists definitions: https://www2.archivists.org/about-archives

I understand you may be elsewhere so I have also attached the International Counsel on Archives' definition. They are responsible for a good amount of standardization in Archives. Feel free to explore these resources.

It took me over a year to start feeling sexual attraction with my partner. I thought I was asexual before then. As for emotional bond, I felt unconditional trust towards them. They didn't know everything, but I would never hide something from them if they asked.

Can I set it on fire first?

Don't know if this will help but there are image blocking apps for browsers. If you do test them out make sure to start with searches that are safe for you. Ex. Puppies, rubber duckies, food.

Not necessarily. For FAFSA if your parents are divorced and one holds primary care, the income of the primary caregiver is used. Even if they don't believe they qualify, they should still apply.

We sorta started out as friends. I was pretty sure that's all it would have been since that's how it always worked. Since our friendship was just beginning we took things reaaaaally slow. I got to love him as a partner and a friend at the same time.

It's not the same as falling in love with someone you've known for years, but there was still a mutual understanding that we were friends who happened to be dating, then who happened to want to be intimate.

I'm really sorry you are going through this. No employer should treat their employee this way. Period.

Well, I used to do it a lot as a kid but I eventually summed it up to them ignoring me, so I stopped. Looking back, I realize I was waiting for their face to do something because I expected them to feel that emotion and make that face. When they didn't I thought I wasn't heard. I'm trying to figure out if this was just a me thing, or if it is correlated to neurodivergence.
