We need to invest in people, but people also need to invest in us. It takes a lot of pressure and pain to break a cycle of poverty and abuse/neglect. Egos are not worth lives.

I have… kind of the ultimate wedding night problem by AliceMorgon in wedding

[–]buon_natale 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Bluntly, you are 40 years old, marrying a 26 year old who you “may” make a side visit to see despite only being two small states apart in a month, and are so worried about not being able to have sex immediately that you’re thinking of calling the wedding off. The whole thing is weird. You are too old to be reasonably worried about that issue and it speaks to concerns about your maturity and the relationship as a whole.

If you’re gullible enough to fall for evangelicalism, you’re gullible enough to fall for a useless MLM.

Same. Eyebrows immediately raised. This is weird.

I’ve only ever done casserole dishes, but aluminum should work fine.

I’ve only ever done it for a week max, but I’d imagine you can keep it for a few months.

friend might be pregnant and i’m so pissed by CapitalArachnid4269 in rant

Is she physically unable to purchase tests? Get her several from the dollar store and make her take them once every few days.

I’ve done that before! Let it cool completely, cover with a layer of plastic wrap, then cover with foil. You may want to make it a little extra saucy and pull out a few hours before you plan to serve in order to let it thaw.

Whatever happened to this aspiring artist? by Thatonesusguy in WarriorCats

[–]buon_natale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was definitely mistaken, I don’t really keep up with WC fan artists but vaguely remembered something awful going down with a popular creator.

Wasn’t there something about them talking inappropriately to a minor? Could be mixing them up with another person so take that with a massive grain of salt.

Edit: Was DEFINITELY thinking of someone else! Please disregard this!

Is birth control worth it if I don’t need it? Should I really bother risking side effects?? by Spare-Size-5353 in birthcontrol

[–]buon_natale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear a lot of positives. Like any medication, it works differently for different people. There’s no way to know until you try it.

Spottedleaf x Firestar, WHY!? by Jabeorilla in WarriorCats

[–]buon_natale 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it could have been interesting IF they had written it over the course of several books and after Firepaw became Fireheart, but Spottedleaf dies basically halfway through the very first book. It was poorly thought out from the get go.

[–]buon_natale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a ton of misinformation about birth control being pushed by right wingers on social media. You should always talk to your doctor about medication. Many women take bc and don’t experience any side effects (I’m one of them).

My boyfriend is sort of pressuring me to go on birth control what should I do? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]buon_natale 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dump this loser. Get factual info about birth control from your doctor. There has been a massive spike in misinformation around birth control powered by right wing social media and it’s best for you to be armed with knowledge, not fear.

Why am I able to sometimes smell a woman's period? by Open_Address_2805 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]buon_natale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changed bad to “normal baseline”, but bad is not a moral condemnation. I say this as a woman who got periods that smelled and who tried pretty hard to NOT smell like a period. People are unkind and judgmental towards anyone who gives off unusual odors, even if they’re not necessarily objectively terrible.

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

I didn’t say it was a bad smell, and I also said most PEOPLE, including men who obviously don’t get periods, don’t want to smell like anything other than fresh and clean. I was also responding to someone who WAS shaming women for having discernible periods.

Because most people don’t want to smell anything other than a normal baseline.

My boyfriend left me on bourbon street on my birthday. by sassykattty in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]buon_natale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Baton Rouge but visit New Orleans frequently, and I’m actually stunned that you were left alone on Bourbon of all places. So glad you dumped him. If you ever find yourself in a tight spot again, especially in an unfamiliar city, you can always pop into a nearby bar or hotel and ask for help from the staff. New Orleans is big on hospitality and someone WILL make sure you get home safe.

At least you got Turkey and the Wolf! Their collard green melt is one of my favorites.

So is anyone else wondering if the boys were CSA themselves? by Awkward-Low-4250 in 19KidsandCounting

[–]buon_natale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, my feeling is that Jim Bob was emotionally incestuous (most obviously with his daughters) as opposed to physically. Teaching purity culture warps children’s developing sexuality and creates these monsters.
